General Budberg, Minister for Foreign affairs, hastens to communicate to His Excellency the Ambassador of His Britannic Majesty, the fol lowing intelligence which attired last night from the army: General Bennigsen, after having fallen back for the purpose of chuting a position which he judged better adapted for manoeuvring the troops under his command, took up a position at Preussisch Eylau. During filar days successively, I,is rear- Visard, commanded by Major-General Barclay de Tolly, had to withstand several vigorous attacks, and on the 2iith Jan. (Feb. 7) at 3 o'clock is the afternoon s the battle became general throughout the whole line of the main army. Tile contest was de sttufkive, and the night came on without the enemy having been able to gain ground. On the 27th January (Stli February), early in the morning, the French renewed the attack, and the an'oti was contested with great obstinacy In both hides; but towards the evening, the enemy was repulsed on all sides, and General Bennigsen remained in possession of the field of battle. Bonapatte commanded in person. end under him Marshals Augerean, D'Avonst, Soult, Ivey, and Bessiercs, at the head of the Guards, who suff..ted the most. Our loss is from six to eight thousand men; whilst that of the enemy is estimated at !torn twelve to fittcm thousand. We have also taken twelve stand of colours, and about fifteen hundred prisoners, among whom there are thirty officers. The Courier who brought the dispatches having been seat cif immediately after the battle, the M— nisters of His Imperial Majesty do not yet know all the details of the above' mentioned day.

I am truly happy to have it in my power to in form your Imperial M,ljesty, that the army, the command of which your Majesty has deigned to confide to me, has been again vicorions. The battle which has just taken place has been bloody and destrn.live. It began on the 26th January (7th Feb ) at three o'clock in the afternoon, and lasted until six o'clock in the evening of the 27th January (Bth Feb.) Th e enemy was completely defeated; one thousand prisoners, and twelve stand of colours, which I have the honour herewith to transmit to your Majesty, fell into the hands of the conquerors. This day, Bonaparte attacked me with his best troops, on my mad on both wings, but be was repulsed and ►eaten on all sides. His guards repeatedly attacked my centre without the smallest success. Arta a very brisk fire, they were repulsed at all points, by the bayonet, and by charges of the cavalry. S 1 columns of infantry, and picked regiments of Cuiras siers, were destroyed. I shall not fail to transmit to your Majesty, as soon as possible, a detailed account of the memo rable battle of Preussich-Eilan. I think our loss may, perhaps, exceed six thousand men, and I certainly do not exaggerate, when I state the loss of the enemy at considerably more than twelve UK/thud moo. 1 THE tiRITISH PRESS. LONDON, MCtNNILY, tliaca 9. VICTORY OF EYLAU. Mr. Vicit, a King's Messenger, arrived at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, at Sir Fa as:cis VIN. cesT's house, in Arlington-street, from St. Peters burgh, with dispatches for G )vernment, fr'm the Marquis of Douoi.as, our Knister at the Russian Court. Shortly after the arrival of Mr. Vies:, the following note was circulated in the ministerial circles a A King's Messenger arrived this morning, pith Dispatches from St. Peter , Mirz, commuMeating the Official Detail? of the Operations of the lietsian Anny in Prussia. It appears that the ardent and persevering gallantry of the Russian General has beta t..ruwite I with signal success:—for several successive day, lie attacked the French army, always to ad,ontAge, but Li the last straits, to their &cni.nva defeat, they having on that occ ninon Inst upwards of TWL:NIY TIIOLNAND MEN, TWELVE. F.AGLES,and several pinmes of ca nu.iit. " Great rejoicings have takes place at Patens aura, and the j city wa,ll!urnmated at the departure of the Menisonger." A Cabinet Council was irnmedi,uely summoned, which met about twelve.o'clock, at Viscount How ices Office, in Downing -street, and the dispatches were taken into consideration. The Council sat about an hoof, and was attended by all the Mem bers of the Cabinet, except Earls FI TZWI LI• and fir emcee, absent from indisposition. The sub stance of tne dispatches was sent off by a Messenger to His. MAJESTY at Windsor; and in the evening, an Ea frairrolitiara Ganate was published, of which a copy is given in our preceding columns. The dis patelseak as appears by Tice Ga:ette, contain the Russian Official Report of the general result of the battle of Prussian Eylau, on the Bth of February. The Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs, in his letter to the Marquis of Doun Las, denominates it A signal yid try ever the French ; and General BE tA lOSEN, the Rii , sian Commander in Chief, re presents his own 1.),s as probably exceeding 6,000 kille I, asst that of the enemy at considerably more than 12_000 khled and taken prisoners, with 12 stand of colours. Among the prisoners, amounting to from WOO to 1,500, are SO °fist .Is. We own, that we were in some measure prepared for this account. The French Bulletins, which we gave on Friday last, admit .s loss of 1000 killed, and 5,700 taken prisoners, including several General Officers, whilst not one Russian Officer of distinEtion is said to have been killed, wounded, or taken prisoner. ('hey also admitted, that though the possession of Kottionsburg, distant only a few leagues front Evian, was a favourite and important objet, tl,e French army, hist-ad of advancing to it, was going into winter quarters. These circumstances put tog-ther would not amount to more than a drawn butte, and therefore we are sot surprised to find t:tat the testi!' WAS a signal vidory on the part of the Rus can:. For this glorious success, they ap pear to ;rave been indebted to the bayonet. Gene ral Betstr users says, ff the enemy were repulsed at all points, by the bayonet, and by charges of Ca valry."— Ills is the sure mode of encountering the French. They tzcel in manoeuvring, but they shrink room the bayonet, when wielded by an English or a Russian arm. Bannioseres letter was written on the Geld of battle at Eylau, late on the evening of the Bth, the battle having lasted until 0 o'clock. The previous anions, which were represented, in the French accounts, as severe defeats sustained by a broken umy in its retreat, now appear to have been attacks on the rear-102rd of the Russians, who fell back to EylAtt, not from weakness or defeat, b*t for the purpose of gaining an advantageous position. The Fifty•eighth letin is dated Eylau, February the 9th, and states that on the Eth the Russians retreated, leaving the French in possession of the Geld of battle. Ills now appears to be a falsehood, the Russians having remained in possession of the field on the Bth, and there being no insinuation that the battle was re newed on the day following. The French Bulletin is dated from Eylau on the 9th, evil titiy for the purpose of impressing a belief that the result id the O;h was a victory on the part of the Frsnch army. Mr. Vice, the bearer of these grateful tidings, left St. Petersburgls on the I Sth of Fe bruary, and sailed from Gattenbiargh on the lst instant, in the Amity Packet, which was dispatched for his conveyance. Pt ivate letters, brought by the Packet, state, that the 12 French standards had atrived at St. Petersburgh, and were di-played upon the walls of that city. They add, that, in the battle of Eylau, the French and Russians fought body to body, and that the latter never dis played MAC enthusiastic courage and energy. The Dorset packet arrived on Friday at Har wich from Husiim. which she left on W.Anrsday lalt.—She brought neither mail rilr passengers ; but we und.ritand Government reccaed diapxches ~ . . Fy ti.is conveyance. Their contents did not trans. pire, and this silence was probably the cease of a report on Saturday, that the Russians had been de feated with the loss ef .10,uthf, Lined, wuttnded, and 'taken prisoners. We do Nat consider this rumour botitled to any ciedit. Letters from Dantsie, dated the 20th nl , . state, that great rejoicings had taken place there. on account of the •illories ob tained ay the Russians over the French, up to the 11th, " that the lett and centre of the Russians were then posted on the Lakes, and the right extended beyond the Alle." The lane, Captlin Rosters, arrived on Friday from Memel, also brings some additional parti culars. She sailed the 19th ult. and for two days preceding her departure there were public rejoic ings at that place for the viaor y of the Bth, which was stated to be complete in favour of the allied army. The Jane was tl.e only English vessel ac Memel, and their l'AusA 41 , 1 MAJISTILS, with t e r attendants, honoured the C tptain with a visit, and p.utook of refreshments on boat d. They app , a: e 1 to be in excellent spirits, and their attendants ex pressed the tuilest confidence in the defeat of b.: French on the Bth. At the commenceinear or the Westminster tion, we apprised Mr. PAULL, that he vi.cul .c.e day rue his connection with Cosner. Toat pre. diction we have now reason to btlieve is tie: :ar from its completion. At the late dinner of the party, at use Crown and Aaclattr, when Mr. PAI LL made his famous speech against /slarcris \\*EL LISLEY, CorRLT took especial care to keep away. In his Paper o! Saturday last, he condemns Mr. l'Aucc's Petition, and, with disgusting effrontery. charaeteris^s 014 Gentleman as an imprudent hot heas!ed mcn.—lSat this is riot all. In the Debate upon the Westminster EleCtion, in the Hou:e of Commons, on Thursday night, Mr. SltalllDAN ac quitted Cooties - , as either principal or accessary, in the present proceeding. Coarser and his crea tures will, no doubt, afE:Et to consider this as a com pliment, originating in a with, on the part of Mr. SHERIDAN, to conciliate Cosner. What ! Mr. SHt• EDAM seek to conciliate a man whom he !vs stig matized as capable of denying any truth, or as serting any falsehood ! of whom he has pith licly declared, that not a man, woman, or chill, in Westminster, would believe one word that he should say. Mr. StIZRIDAN is incapable of truck. ling to such a charariter, and aCled from a very dif ferent motive. Coml., it is well known, has beta in the habit of representing Mr. PA vt.i. as his pup pet, his creature, and himself as the real opponent of Mr. SHERIDAN in Westminster. Can, then, Mr. SHCAIDAN be blamed for publicly announcing, that Curlier has abandoned the cause, that the shewman has thrown away his puppet, and the vermin are deserting the sinking vessel ? This surely is just and fair matter of joy and congratu lation to Mr. SHERIDAN and his friends, and of hu mliation end disgrace to COISAT and his party. Had Comsar persevered to the last, Le would have deserved the praise of consistency, and Mr. SHERIDAN would not have bad it in his power, by a satirical compliment, to proclaim him in du Senate, a Deserter and an Apostate. A Gnttenburg Mail arrived yesterday, but the Official Account, in 7. 1 :: Extraordisary Gazette, di vestel its contents of All tli •ir interest. We have received some French and Dutch Pa pers by the American ship Medford, arrived in the River, from Rotterdam, but they contain no news. Some interesting particulars, respeCting Sir Homo PopMAM's Trial. are given in our subsequent co lumns. We are restrined from reporting the pro• ceetiings, until the final decision. ►, We have received New-York Papers to the V.th of January. The designs of Bunn still continued the subjet of speculation. The three frigates which lately sailed from the Dutch ports, have been compelled to return to Ga ret. Admiral Russet being apprized that the ships in the terA had shewn s disposition to put to sea, h.ts sent a Lnlli.ient force to that quarter. It is expected that all the transports to be em ployed in the eapeditiou under General WHI TR LOC 1, will be ready in a few days A letter received by a Merchant in the city from his bro her at Warsaw, mentions MURAT'S death. and that the body had been received in that city with great pomp, ani buried. This is very probable. The French cay.dry, of which MURAT was the com mander. suffered greatly in the battle of Eylau.
