A Dispatch from the GOVIIINO I;.GEOSE Ai. in Council, dated the Ist May, 1806, was received on Thesday last, at the East India House, from which dte following is an extra& :- 0 $s eireamstances Mrs accursed, or iii our lodgment 4 me they se .etas, la any part of India, of a nature to disturb aim tromdpsfilitg of mu Pememieos, or to impede the amens pllstueset et the arrangosesse ("bleb are in program for the nthillies et our sixpasditure, and the ceosequeld complete 'sheet the public Ilmasices.' • t Yentas, mooing an Zfulmtgo was laid at the i Custom-house, span all ships bound to Buenos Ayres. • Repeat adds, that Buenos Ayres has been ~ Mabee by the Spaniards. • We isildartasAthat a force is to be immediately . • mot to the Ceutiment- The ssh, or Igtmo's Own, guttered at Hastings. commence their march en Ss - berday for Deal, when they will embaik en the sth Mt. This is a fine body of men, 850 strong.—. Ocher regirmots..have been mentioned as seletsd te Orem 'Art of ohs Expedidon, bat we cannot spe cify them with certainty. Ire yesterday annonuced the receipt of French, Dela. and Hansburgb Papers, from which we . gave abeeeteverry natter of feat, in their contents, o f noodayneisupottance. This seletlion embraced the oirscjelemenet front a Dutch Paper of the bat tle of the 14th, and the circumstances attendin* • Winding the rumoured advance of the Frill" army to Leipsic and Dresden. the return of the • Qmen of Panes* to Berlin on the 18th, and her sadden departure on the next morning, and the ar rival of Visoount Moir al n at Hamburgh, from Brunswick. These circumstances are sufficient 1, , is themselves to thew that the result of the battle. on that day, was disastrous to the Prussian arms. So mach consternation and dismay could not have • boa ached by a trivial loss. Indeed, if any thing me& tweed to ascettah that ungrateful truth, the • adletin issued by the GOECTOOT of Bellies on the Ile of °Sober, Mast carry convidion with it. The Ems," says the Bulletin, " has lost a battle. 1 , &misty of a Chalet' is to be tranquil. This is 1001thst 1. the Governor. demand of all the inhabitants • Berko. The Kiva and his Brother are living." • ...The defeat mast have been great indeed, which could justify such desponding language. The Haetbegibs or, as it may be called, the Prussian ratemust of the battle, does not state the loss of the 'et lets than the Dutch report, bat is lots sir It commenced in the vicinity . of Wanly. at *tree o'clock in the morning, and herd until lee in the afternoon. The French were the mmilaats, and as both sides fought with the greatest courage and animosity, it would be idle to suppose that the loss of the French did not bear a near proportion LO that of the Prussians. 'rite Duke of BELIMSWICE was not tilled. He was wounded in the face by a grape shot, in the begin sing of the &Ilion, and obliged to quit the field. This misfortune inflamed the ardour of the other Prus sian Generals and Officers, among whom, the Prince of WANGS distinguished himself, by his extraordi nary gallantry. BONAPARTE, though not named in the Dotal account, is said, in the Hamburgh report, *ohm direasd all the operations of the day. He appears to have borne down, with all his force, upon she Prussian ceatre, and Marshal Nay's division of 10,000, coming up fresh in the evening, gave a de cisive tuts to the action. It is thus by pressing . upon a single point, and constantly pouring in freer troops, that the breach win most of their vitlories. 1 It is a mode of fighting, which, as they generally trot-number their foe, they are frequently able to predise. Of the remaining mass of matter, con tained is the French papers. the diplomatic car respondsace at Paris, between M. Kr:para.:Doss r , the fressian Envoy, and M. TA L LEYEAED, and four Baiting of the military operations in Ger many, with Insistent s's appeal to the Saxons, senstinate the principal part. it commences with a report, dated Paris, Oftober 3, made by TA L LEY. OEOD to BONAPARTE, inveighing against the co.- 4wo of Prussia, and charging her with having no objeCt in going to war, but a desire to enslave Saxony and the Haase Towns. in support of this charge, several notes are annexed ; in one of virlfich, dated the 11th of September, M. Slim s s looter is made to say--" I'he motives which have engaged the King, my matter, to make armaments, • have been the ailed of a scheme of the enemies of France and Prussia ; who, • jetilus of the intimacy which exists between these two :'owes s, have done every thing in their power to alarm, by false re ports, coming at once from every quarter." This declaration from Kno s Ecsooe r r must ex cite ur.iversal sorpri;e. The French Government certainly took great liberties with D'Ouactit. Are 1' 1 1 i t zilt .a .

This demand, Tastava•lll:l asserts in his report, is a dire& and open avowal of a desire, en the part of Prussia, to enslave Saxony and the Hanse Towns ; and so far we have a direft avowal, under the hand of TALL TYlk1111). that all the states which have entered into the Confederacy of the Rhine, are the slaves of Box 44444 E. Of the four Bulletins from the grand army which next follow, the first is in 1 the stile of those issued in the late war between France and Austria. It is a farrago of war and politics, milled op with coarse and vulgar jests, and reminds us of the condua of Caomwstt. and his Associates, who were amusing themselves with smutting each other's faces. at the very moment they were signing the warrant for the murder of their Sovereign.-The first paragraph in this far- . ratio, which is dated Bamberg, Ofk. the Bth, is important. lt says, " The Peace with Russia, concluded and signed on the 20th of July, and the Negotiations with England, which were drawing towards a conclusion, caused a sensible alarm at liiir lin. The vague reports which were daily multiplying, and the consciousness of the Injurious cnndua of that Cabinet towards those Powers, induced it the mete readily to belieeiA 1 what bed twee insinuated, that, by a Se cret Article is Putty with Rustle, Poland was to b e restored as a ki and confined upon the Grand Dose Constantine ; tha t was es be 'inn to Asstd., in exchange fur her part o f had { sad tbat Haso.w r was to be rammed to England." The Bulletin, in a subsequent pas sa g e , riding the Prussian Minister.

It is publicly lutowas to all Europe, that Bon AAAAAA did, in the late negotiation,' propose to restore Han over to England, and of his intention to restore the kingdom of Poland. need we ask any evidence, but his Revolutionary Appeal to the Saxons, in which be says, he enters Saxony as a deliverer, that he has ordered a legion to be formed under the name of the Legion of the North, to be commanded by a Polish General, and of which two thirds of the Officers 'are to be Poles.—The throe succeeding Bulletins are purely military, but they all relate to the aftion• prior to that of the Lith, in which Prince Ho- Kan cons is said to have obtained a signal victory. The last of these French Bulletins is dated Gera, ten o'clock, A.M. on the 13th. The report of the defeat of the Prussians, on the 14th, as we have already stated. is only to be, found in the Ham burgh and Dutch Papers.
