' According to letters from Fiume, the Kus%ians have taboo twenty vessels from the French in the Adriatic, which were bound to Dalmatia with pro innate ; a circumstance which will be severely felt by the French troops in that quarter.

The pertieulars which from time to time reach us respedbag the battle of the 14th, prove it to have boss ens both sides use of the most bard fought honks, and best rientested, since the date of history. The lliOut coanneending Officer* were in the forn meet lbw find ineouraged the soldiers by the ex• displayed to them. • of she Prussian musquetry did much Illgeng the French.

The number of killed on either side is net yet to be known ; 41 ' 0111 ' isteusided is so enormous, that every balsa ' abd in twenty of the neighbouring idlers, is fell Of them. ft was in consequence of the great disorder into which the Prussian army fell at the close of the affirm, that so many prisoners and such a number of cannon fell into the hands of the French ; and the important magazines which bed been collided at Erfurth.

The desertion among the Saxons is he lr reed el 7l belief Their army is two thirds 'e ditors,. Whole parties, which were escaping to.. weld Dresden end Voigtland have been made pri soners by the French. We are credibly informed, that a Courier left Jena for Dresden on the firth, with dispatches to the Eledor, to induce him to Was a Proclausation to draw off his troops from the Prea.;aas. Nib. THE BRITISH PRE SS. -•- - LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVINIIIR 4. Mr. KAYE, the Messenger, arrived yesterday, *bout four o'clock, at Viscount Howic a's Office, from the head-quarters of the Prussian army, with dispatches. We understand, that they do no bring later intelligence of military operations than that which we bad previously received from the Fo reign Journals. Mr. KAVI states, that he saw His Paossias MaJesty, after the battle of the 14th , and that be was in good health. He brought letters for the Duke and Duchess of YORK. . - We understand that Government axe in possession of information. that Saxony has signed a Treaty of Peace with Bost•F UT& We received last night Dutch Papers of the let instant, containing the Paris news to the 26th. They contain some details of the battle cf the 14th. His Pat:smart MAJLsrv,it appears, retreated to Magde ' burg with his army, followed by BON•F ARTS at the head of his left wing and centre, the right having proceeded by Leipsic for Berlin. We stated, on Saturday. that the latter was, on the 21st, within a few miles of that capital.—As it neither meditated resistance, nor is capasle of any, the F, etch no doubt entered it on the next day. A letter from Magdeburgh of the 18th alludes to battles on the 15th and 16th, near Loin and Weimar, which are said to have annihilated the part of the Prussian army that escaped the disasters of the 14Th. It adds, that the Kies( of Paussi♦ had left Magdeburg, on the 18th, for Berlin. We do not consider this account correU His MA.MT Y must have known that the French were marching for that city, and that it was incapable of defence. The Widsinghate Packet, with a Mail from Lis bon. is arrived at Falmouth ; she sailed on the 26th ult. The letters will be delivered this day. Extrael of a letter from Grenada. dated Sept. 10 —" A Spanish schooner is just arrived from Bar celona on the Main; the Captain and passengers report, that MIksNUA is captured by a naval force fitted out at La Guira." The tiamburgh Man, dee on Sunday, arrived last night, with letters and papers to the 29 . h last. It appears from their contents, that the French h: VP not been able to follow up the vi Tory which they (A tained on the 14th. with their usual aaivity , sad, therefore, that they must have suffered severely on that day. They had not entered Berlin on the 23J From the lateness of the hour at which the Mail armed, we have only time to make the following mantas HASIBUROII, OCT. 28. We are without any further official accounts from Berlin, respe2iag the battle of Auerstadt ; all we know is, that on the 23d inst. thk French had not entered that City. Their Prussian Majesties, with Count Haugwitz, were at Custrin on the 25th. Prince Hohenlohe, in conjundion with the corps under the Duke of Saxe Weimar, had colleaed a force of between 40 and 50,000 men, near Magda.- burgh, where a second battle was expelled to take place. Bonaparte's head-quarters are said to have been at Dessau, as late as the 2lth. The divisions under Prince Murat, and Marshals Souk and Ney, advanced close to Magdeburgh, and summoned that place to surrender. Some accounts state that the Prussian army had retired across the Oder, after breaking down all the bridges ; the scarcity of provisions in the cleftorate of Brandenburgh was so great, that it was thought the French would be obliged to retreat again ; the stores they foand in the Prussian magazines, they carried with them in waggons. The Duke of Brunswick Oels has made an able re treat with 10,000 men, and joined the Duke of Saxe Weimar. FRONTIERS Of SAXONY, OCT. 21. The head quarters of the French army are at Des sau : it is not known whether the Emperor Napo leon is there ; it is certain that the next day after the battle, his head quarters were at Jena. The Saxon troops have left the Prussian army. Wear* positively assured, that from 40 to 30,000 men have already been assembled between Bruns wick and blagdeburgh ; it is supposed that the en virons of these towns will be the theatre of the next battle. The Duke of Brunswick has sent to the head 'garners of the French, at Dessau, to solicit the neutrality of his States, and has obtained it. It is said that a cologne of Russian troops bas ar rived at Warsaw. BANKS OF TUB ODBIII. OCT. 25. The French were not yet at Berlin on the 25d of this month. I Emperor Map°lcon went, on the ICth of OZtober, in the evessing,g,vrith his gnahls, from Jens to Wehnar, and dept there in the palace. Their Majesties, the King and Queen, and Count ii.sugwitz, are at Cuatrin. The greater part of the bridges over the Oder have been takes up. SANKS OF THE CLEF, OCT. V. According to the accounts of travellers, a great slumber of French troops had been continually pas sing through that city since the 18th, who were principally on their march for Wirteraburg and Torgau, at which latter place will be a tamp of from 12 to 14,000 men. Another considerable corps will be stationed near Dessau. We are assured by advices from Leipsic, that the • Emperor Napoleon has established his head-quarters at Wittenberg.] Other accounts, which likuwise appear to be re lied on, say, that the Emperor of the French set nut -45 n the 16th, in the evening, accompanied by his guard, from Jena for Weimar; and on the 17th, in the evening, for Naumburg. No contributions have been levied on the city of Leipsic since the entry of the French. All the churches end public edifices at Naumburg, are filled with the iwoanded, and the soldiers are still employed on the field of battle, in buryin4 the dead. In consequence of the numerous expeditions that hare lately been fitted out, and which are said tote sill in meditation, another volunteering from the Militia into the Line is confidently spoken of, for the purpose of recruiting oar Regular Army, by which means we shall soon be provided with an ad ditional effiCient and disposable force. fbe Einsoloeth,, Moment', from Plymouth, for Su rinam, was captured, on the 9th of August, by the Geseer.rl Ernonf, of 14 guns, and carried into Gua daloupe.

He has had a most flattering canvass. Dover Ille!tion commenced yesterday. The Can didates are Mr. T AAAAA Hon. Mr. imams sops, and Mr. J•CESON. It promises a violent contest. Hand•bills, containing much scurrilous language, have been circulated. The seem al Can didates aspersed, have offered rewards for the dis covery of the offenders.

The engines were all in motion, and the people crowded to the supposed scent of the conflagration. The people from the west however, upon approaching Blackfriars Bridge, per ceived that the lights were produced by the corusca tions of electric fluid in the air, shooting and play ing in various direLioas.

Last night, SHAESPEARe's Historical Tragedy, Corialamas, was revived at this Theatre, with all the deCorations and embellishments that might be ea. peded from the classical taste of Mr. K gnats. Even as a spot:lade .done, it must command public admiration. A more splendid combination of beautiful eerteme, superb trophies, processions of Virgins, Matrons, itc. with songs, never was pre sented upon the stage. The Cato/ewes of Mr. Kau its is one of the finest portraits that can be conceived, and was hailed with raptwous applause.
