LONDON, TlftlitSD.4l; DZCZ.VBEIt act. 1813. Letters from Lord WZI.LINGTON of the 22d, 'have been received by Government this day, which state the Enemy had shown themselves on the Mom . , with the intehtion of getting into the rear of Sir itsciwi..AND HILL, but that skilful Oificei was fully prepared for them, and after a fruitless at tempt to effect their put pose, they had deethed it necessary to make a precipitate retreat. The length of the Extraordinary Gazette, the important news from Holstein, the arrival this morning of two Dutch Muds with a mass of inte resting intelligence, and the receipt at our Office of further 'lemmas from Canada (for all of which we must endeavOur to find room in our other co lutnns) render it impossible for us to offer -such remarks On these momentous communications as iv4.could desire. Having furnished the substan thil matter, however, we trust that our readers kill , excuse us for being very brief and summary in our observations upon ft. The dispatches from Lord WELLINGTON arc aPpily so minute in detail, and so satisfactory in result, as to require no illustration from our pen. How galling must it be to the 'Tyrant who so lately lonic(' it over Europe, to hp thus braved atsd iusulted upon 'French . grounto The superin,: thy of the Allied Force . is completely established by these. glorious battles, and' the consequences in public Opinion must be most ruinous to the tot tering Uturper.. _ _ Put sttant to our promise,we yesterglay published four exira Uitions qf the Sun, with the latest intel ligtate that transpired ; the last of these tliti not epitear till 7 o'clock in the evening, and contained, the Official Bulletin, List of the Klled, 84e, the hour being too late to enable ns to print the manes of the wounded. Having personally waited at the War Department, suil in common with only one other Paper (the . frtoitvier) *finally 80116• tons with ourselves to relieve the public mind, re .ceiVed 'the very first Official Returns that were pre pared, and hastened to give them to the public, we confess that we were extreMelysurprized, that, on so interesting a subject, some .of our contempo raries had for hours before ventured to promul gate spurious accounts as officials and agonize 'the . feelings of the Public by mutilated and partial lists of the casualties, as derived frtius authority! We only state this much to set ourselves right, as not hav ing neglected the pledge we gave, to be diligent in procuring and publishing the earliest authentic intelligence. In closing this subject we may be permitted to pay a deserved compliment to Lord BATHURST, the Secretaries, and the Gentlemen in the War Department, whose unwearied, zealous, and kind attention, in answering thousands of in quiries, from the friends of our valiant soldiers, cannot he spoken of in terms of praise beyond what is their due. The accounts from Holstein exceed even the extent of our yesterday's news. Part of Sleswick is also overrun by the' fillies. The loss of the Enemy is estimated at 10,000. men by the Dutch Papers, and there can be no doubt, from the situation of affairs, but that at the termina tion of the Armistice granted to Denmark, (it is said for three days), the Government of that country must submit to the best terms it can pro cure, and juin the Continental Alliance. Then may the CROWN PRINCE turn to the Netherlands, and, penetrating through Flanders, be the MoNx of France. Two Dutch Mails arrived this morning. They contain a spirited Proclamation by General By- Low, and an account of a fruitless attempt made upon Breda by 5000 French from Antwerp, who were brilliantly resisted by the Patribts, and in their retreat are likely to pay dear fOi , their teme rity, as a cloud of Cossacks are after them. - Gor cum has not yet 1 . 4110 n. By a paragraph from Belvoetsluis, it would appear that the Allies would not allow the Neutrality- of Switzerland. French Papers inform us that a most successful warfare is carrying on by our squadron on the coast of Tuscany. Nothing could be mote efficient than this line of action for the dclik craace of . Italy. Our American Papers (far which we find we Dave not space) contain IlAnatsoN's Dispatch re halve to Gen'eral PROCTOR'S defeat, dated De troit, 9th October. It is dreadfully long, and states the British loss at 12 killed, 22 wounded, aud . 6ol prisoners, including 25 Officers; 6 pieces of brass cannon and 2 iron 24-pounders. The enemy's force amounted to between 3 and 4000 men, and his loss 7 killed, and 22 wounded. Me regret to find, that the consequence of the evacuation of Upper Canada, has been the defection of many of our Indian ft lends. Captain I\lut,O.ts.4* has • beat tha . enemy at Hamilton, and all along' the St. tiovrence they have suffered immensely itt provisions, stores,•&e. The canttnts . of the seven batteanx lately:,taken from us on Lake Ontario, have been recovered among these,' spoils of the' Wilkinsonian tion. . The enemy's regulars . have entirely quitted Fort George. Our brave force still hangs on Wrousao:4's town, but we not being willing to admit them in, all negoc'ations were immediately broken off. Tl\e enemy bad taken possession of the village of Hage, and in a short time had thrown tip five batteries against the town. At half-past four o'clock ,the cannonade • commenced against the town, and at the same time the outworks were briskly attacked by musquetry, which was so close that the Musqttet balls fell on the walls ; In a short time, exclusive of a great tininber of cannon-halls, about a score, of howitzers Were thrown, into the town. The catte , Vonade on the town continued till half-past seven o'clock, which was returned by four pieces of ar tillery (the only ones we had in the town), be sides a fire of musketry, in the most efficient man uer, and with incredible quickness. The enemy holding himself in and about the village of Hage, which is close to us, and only ap pearing 'in detachments of cavalry towards the Swart zenberg, and New rerrys, between Tirtheide and Zevenbergens, who were soon driven back by the Cossacks, the approach to all ourgates, excepting the Hague-gate, was free, and in cow. 'pence on the same evening,. two vessels laden with artillery, and one with gunpowder, arrived here without hindrance ; _ and at the same time the 1200 Cossacks roomed - back through the Gin. miken-gate, from their incursion into Brabant. The unloading at the vessels with artillery and ammunition was immediately proceeded in, and this morniog, at half-past 7 o'clock, when the enemy - made his attack, first with small arms, and shortly afterwards with howitzers and cannon, we were already enabled to answer Lim so briskly from twenty pieces of artillery, that more shot were fired from the town than against it. His attack continued with great spirit till about two o'clock, when the enemy's fire de creased, and about three o'clock no more firing was heard, so that most probably the enemy is now on his retreat, and we hope, that as soon as be shall have passed the Huge into the open fiat country, he will be made to pay dearly for his in solence', as #t five o'clock this morning, the fore said 1200 Cossacks went in silence through the Boschpoort, and are gone through Ginneken into the wood, with intent, to wait there for the mo ment of the enemy's departure, and attack him as soon as tie shall arrivo at the Hage.—Zuydersee Paper, Dec, 21'.

His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT will be joined by the Duke of YORK at Cottesniere to morrow,the arrangements having been somewhat. frustrated by the REGENT leaving town a day later than he intendee. His Grace the Duke of RuT LAN left Belioir Castle to meet his Royal Guest at Apetliorpc Hall, Northamptonshire, by ap pointment, and he would consequently arrive there the day before the Prince. The Royal Per sonages and suite will arrive at Belvoir Castle to dine on Sunday, where they will he received by a salute of 21 guns planted on the top.

In tile evening festivities will hu renewed, and the Royal Party will leave on Thursday. There is not a bed or stall to be pro cured fur many miles round, such is the anxiety to see the illustrious visitors in that put of .the country.

We ardently wish tabour soon that, his Lordship is better, this worthy Nobleman being so much respected for his ,many . distinguished qualities. • The Irish Catholic Board finding ..the. alarm created by the hostile language of Dr. Daum- GOOLE against the Protestant 'Religion, held a meeting •on Friday last upon the subject. Dr. DROMGOOLH attended, and persisted in his ob noxious sentiments ; but he was not supported, and the following resolution was passed •—• " litsot,vr,n—That the sentiments expresed in a speech imputed to Dr. Droingoole, mai published in the Newspapers, are not the opinions br sentiments entertained by the Catho lic Board." lire learn with regret, that Sir HUGH INGLIs has signified his intuition of not offering himself again as a Candidate for a seat in tile East India direction, from which he went out by rotation in April last. The services of this truly respectable character, 'during.' r period .of :Hearty 44.. years, ,have been so distinguished, that his lois will be very severely felt. This is a rare instance of con scientious feeling. The contest will now be still more severe. - - Last Tuesday evening three soldiers who made their escape from a French prison, and contrived to gain possession of an open boat on the coast, nigh Cherbourg, arrived on the Sussex coast, near Winchelsea. These men were in a miserable state haVinw a been tit ,sea five days and nights without food of any kind, the nature ofribeir escape hav ing prevented them from laying in any sea stock. They assert that lite) , belong to the 3d Dragoon ,Guards, and that they were made prisoners by the enemy, at Ilargos, about two years ago. The change of affairs in .Holland, they say, was gene rally known in France, and that they had re .loiOngS within their prison, on that acconnt.— The statements we have received through different chaniiels, of the 'dissatisfaction caused by the con scription. laws in • Franee, is . corroborated by the above soldiers.
