i C f- re !s, It. to ME. HORNE TOOKE's P,4_IIPHLET. The following, is to l.x r.l t•,l Letteriroin Sir. H. Tooxi to the Editor of a :Morning Paper. • • ' ,'" WrmuLknoN, MAY,6, 1:207, -" I read in your. Paper of yesterday (May 5) that,, at a Meeting of the Eletors . of Westminster, a Mr.. POw;rER, upon the information, of Mr. PAULL, stated this faeit—t-That, at a dinner at Mr. flottNTE Too 's,. that Gentleman declared' ) that in the present times, he thought it would be better that such men as Sir F. BURDETT should have nothing to do with seats in Parliament:. •- , " It is not very decorous, I believe, to bring ber. fore the Public the free and unimportant conversar tion . Which passes in a mixed company at a dinner table : Mr. PAULL and Mr. POWER seem to think otherwise. Mr. PAULL is very welcome to report any thing he ever heard me say. But, .for the sake of wy friends; who may not be quite so indifferent as I am to tittle tattle in the Newspapers, neither Mr. PAULL nor this Mr. Pow en . (whoever he may• be) shall ever with my consent henceforward dine at the same table , with me. • " I may very probably have made this declaration With Which I am charged, for it contains most car re&ly my opinion, and that not hastily entertained, isdat long fixed in my mind ; and if my advice had heen*as omnipotent as the dirty scribblers of the day, have chosen to represent it over the mind of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, he never would have been. a *Crididaie•at all ; nor did' I ever labour by entreaty more earnestly for any thing, than 1 did from the be ginning, and before the beginning, to dissuade Sir PaANcts from being *a Candidate for Middlesex; end, for his sake, I rejoice that he is not returiied to Parliament for that pike or for any other. How ever, if this my opinion shall be adopted, it will not t.‘:,clude Many persons from Parliament: for I know of ho'other suth men' as Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. " Of Mr. Nucl. I know nothing - , but that he was introduced to Me by Sir FaaNCISBURDETT ; and that he afterwards invited himself to dine at my house bn Sundays', when I receive my visitants. From the time of the eleetion at Westminster, last Novenaber, he has missed dining with me only three Sundays. I always treated him with civility, but have most cau tiously avoided any other connexion with him of any kind ; nor could he ever prevail upon meohough he iiseernuchimpOrtutiity . , to Write - a-single Syllable for hint or concerning him. There was something about him, with which it was impossible for me to connea't My se lf. I wished him very well—knew no harm of him—suspeaed none ; but my mind perpetually whispered to me,. Vetabo sick iisdem sit trubi&us,fra- . igilem,jue mecum solyat pliuselum. It was uofounded Prejudice, perhaps : but I have experienced some-. thing in this world ; and superfluous caution may Le pardoned to old age. " After what has passed in the middle of the night succeeding the Ist of May, I know of no gen-; Ile epithet which I can apply to the conduit of Mr. -Kum., and shall therefore leave it unqualified. 13bt feel it my duty, perceiving the malicious and artful misrepresentations of all the factions * which Sir Paaalors has wiifully_offended, to tell you simply all A know of what bas* passed between Sir FRANCTS 131.raDETT and Mr. PAULL. If it shall not arrest the malice and misrepresentations of the newspapers (and particularly of the Morning Chronicle), it may - *t leer leave them more inexcusable, and - objetits of the greater public contempt." Mr. TOOKE then proceeds to state that there had not been any particular habits of friendship between tir-FRANers BURDETT and Mr. PAULL, and that their acquaintance was but six months old, beginning Ivith the last Westminster EleZtion ; and that after Sir 'flAtsijcis had sent a thou Sand pounds to 111 r Panaes bommittte; he had supposed that he had satisfied all i'easonable 'expeelations from him. Mr. PAULL, however; in . April last; wrote to Sir FRANTS BUR -91'7,1wi. informing hini; " that his Solicitors refused to proceed. With the Petition unless they were irnme• iliately paid one thousand pOundS; and security given to them for soot. more." He declared that he had in vain applied to " *Jew ati'd Gentile;" and .could not 'raise a farthing, and 'therefore intreated Sir tßAiittS BURDETT to apply to,Mr.I)SVIi.LE. Mr. Tooke strongly suspeats that this was the `reason 'Mr. - NULL' and 'his friends; were so anxinns . "that'SirFaaNCl3 BURDETT shOuldbe a joint Candi clot , that Mr; PArinn . might not be left t!ano•to his i nnoomplying " *Jews and Geritiles."— The'iCircninstances,whiCh took place after the dinner at the Crown and Anehor, Mr. TociKE relates thus i " .At Mr.Pant.L's carriage was dire&ed to the house of Sir F.

F THE BATT.LE OF AUERSTA DT, ON THE 14TH OF OCTOI}ER, 1806. The unfortunate consequences of the Battle of the 14th of last Oclober, have hitherto prevented any official account frOm being laid before the Public. The Prussian army,. udder the Duke. of 13HU NS WI was mostly colleaed on the sth of 061ober, in, the neighbourhood of Naumburgh ; the Corps of Prince .14oHENLonE was in the vicinity of Alien burgh and Pennig ; .General RUCHEL's Corps was between 11 , 11alliausen and Gottingen, • As the enemy's principal fotce was exPeaed in the neighbourhood of Wurtzburgli, it was thought pro per to send about 8000 men through Smalikalten and _Eisenach ; while a small Corps, under. General TAUENZIEN, was to aa as a Corps of Observation on the road to Hoff, follow the Reserve, or aa against theenemy's Corps on the side towards Saxony. • On the 7th, both armies were between Eisenach and Rudelstadt : then we learned that the enemy had turned the greatest part of his force towards Bay reuth, and was in greater force than we, had had rea son to expect. Since the theatre of war in Prussia afferded'no natural means of defence, on the .Bth, we marched to the left-, in order to pass the Saal. The army of Prince HonENLOHE moved towards Jena and Kahle, and the Duke of BRUNSWICK to Blankenhayn. The Prince of-E-loanNEOHE had already passed this river gth with a part of his army ; but the Duke did not wish him to have passed till he had arrived on the banks with the troops under -his command, is he did not want to combat the enemy singly. He therefore ordered tne, Prince to- tall , back. This ,cirCunrystariee gave occasion to the unfortunate affair of posts near Saalfeld on the tOth, in whiCh the gal ' lam and heroic Prince FERDINAND of Prussia did not.engage rashly, as has been supposed. The Duke's army arrived on the same day at Blankenhayn. He now learned that the enemy was advancing through. Hoff, and that another column was proceeding along the Saal-by. Saalfeld. He found the passage over the Saal would be attended with difficulties t 9 broil. To prevent being cut off from, the Elbe, he marched on the 11th to Weimar. Here the Duke's army encamped on the right bank of the Ilme, and the Prince of UOIIENLOIIE at .Ka - pellendorff, not far from Jena. General RUCHEL'S corps took a position near Erfurth ; and the advanced gUard under the Duke , of WIIMMI, which had pre viously 'advanced through --the forest .of Thuringia, in order to alarm the enemy in hiS flank and rear, had orders to return and approach the grand army .by the road through Arnstadt, On the 12th, the Duke of BRUNSWICK had a-cdn ference near Jena with Prince lionENLonli; the , Duke's plan was then to pass the Saal higherUp, case ,the enemy should attempt to tutu the left of the Prussian army. This took place on the it th, 12th, and 13th, without our obtaining any certain knowledge of it;, and through a mistake the deta.chments belonging to Prince HOHENLOHE, who were ordered to observe the enemy, - did not march at the proper time. On the i2th, we learned the enemy was in pos session of Naumburgh ; still this intelligence was in some measure uncertain ; however, late in the even ing it was confirmed beyond a doubt. On the 13th, at noon, the Duke's army marched to Auerstadt, to make head against the enemy, who was.endeavouring to turn the Prussians. Towards evening the Duke arrived near Auerstadt, within two miles e,nd a half of Naumburgh. We learnt II upon the march, and in Auerstadt; that the enemy was still in possession of Nanmburgh, and that some regiments of French chasseurs were posted on, this side of the Saal, on the road to Auersta4 It was determined to drive these regiments back again over the Saal, • and then to proceed through Unstrutt, Dear Friedburgh and Laucha, and to attack the ene my's corps on the other side Of the river. The Duke ofBRUNTWICK wrote to Prince HOHENLOHE, late in the evening of the 13th, to inform him that he oc cupied the - passage over the Sail, in great strength, between the armies, and that the Prince shobld by no theans suffer himself to be cut off frOm the Duke's army. The army of the Duke commenced its march .eal-lY . in the morning of the titth, and fell in with the French cbrps under Marshal,p , AVOUST. Not withstanding this meeting was not expected, land that a yery . heavy rain had bcCasiOned Gen: inconve niences, ; the advanced guard,. u nder Geh:BLUCHER, . made a vigorous attack upon enemy's chaSseurS, which formed Marshal DkvOUST'S adVanced guard, and drove them back upon the main body. The three' other divisions Of the army, under the Duke .:ofliftswlcK, marched in order against the ene- My; :and engaged himfrom one wing to the other. 'he infantry of these ,three divisions formed a co lumn; and Maintained, their fire frOm nine in the Morning till 'three in the afternoon. About noon our right wing began to gain ground : the enemy,_ hOwever, obtained reinforcements frotrl his reserve, and now commenced an attack upon the defile of • Koren. Our left wing , had driven,.the enemy out of his first position just as our right wing began to gie way the left was the first to follow, as soon as the eoemy, was in motion in their rear: The re- ; Mainder , of the two, divisions, the flower of the army, or the reserve, waslor the most. part about 3-060 paces in the rear, upon the. heights Of Auer- Stub, and only i few 'regiment?, of them Wok part .in the *ton. The army Prince . HE.HEO,OHE was atitfacked at break, olday by the Corps, with which the EiSPEttoji .was . present; from the side of Jena; whilst the corps of BOSiitioorri•P. passed the rivet t:iaal, advancing from DornbUrghand Kamburgh; and took the Prince in the rear; the corps of General RucnEt, hastened to the. Prince's assistance, pased throUgh, a anger ' our defile, and attacked the enemy. The army of the Prince, :is *ell as the corps of General Itychrm, fought with great bravery ; but were at last obliged to subrnit tti the .superiority of the enemy; whose numbers were three times, as great a theirs. The Prince's, corps retreated to Weimar, which . tbwn was occupied ,by the enemy the sae evening. The small corps, of Liehtenant-General Rucnrit; (who had already received a I.vound) which was not qtrite to;000 strong, retreated only through the de; file as far as Kapellendorff, where the General again formed in line, and advanped, in a sqOare Column. to• - wards. the defile. A brisk cannotyde ; now corn: menCedi on both sides, but fhe eneiny did not rasa s . ; ,the dt.-file, and the .eing ceased. Hereupon Gene , ; RUCLIEL transferred the con-inland to Lieutenant- General Lnrcisctt, ordering ,him :it first, to retreat, en eckiquier, to cover the retreat with a quarre, and to continue. drawing back on, One side. of Buttelstadt, to reach the King's army . upon' which :the left wing was alp leaning„whilst the right had joined Pield7Mlrshal MOLLEtiDORIT. The greatest misfortune - to both these, corps was, that the passage of. the Sail at Dornburgh and Kam burgh was not properly guarded and defended. It was owing to this. circumstance that the army of the Prince was taken in .the rear,• and its communica tion with the flake's army cut or. -When the King ordered the army of the Duke to march forward upon the heights of Auerstadt in the evening; after the retreat of the three first divisions, thereby, pre venting the enemy from advancing, he did not know that:th% army of Prince HOHENLOHE, and the corps 'of Gen. RUCHEL', had been unfortunate in the en gagement. “ad he, been informed the7eof, he would have renewed the atr.lion and cleared the way to Unstrutt. On the supposition that the Army of Prince Ho- HENLOHE Was still at Kapellendortf, and that the corps of General RUCHEL was at Weimar, the KING ordered the Duke's army to go and join that corps, and to renew the engagement the next day. General Count KALKREUTH was ordered to form the rear-guard with the. reserve (which had not then been engaged), and Field Marshal MOLLENDORF took the command of the other troops. The KING intended (as the action was ended, and the erietby pursued no farther) to go to Weimar in Person, to settle with Prince HOHENLOHE and General [lncaLt. the proper dispositions for executing the said plan. But, on the road from Auerstadt to Weimar he met with the enemy, and was therefore obliged to re turn to the army. The King placed himself in front of the army, and marched from Wickerstadt to Sommerda, leaving Weimar on his left hand. In the night, when the King was successively informed by the fugitives of the condition of the army of Ho natsLonE, and of General RUCHEL'S corps, he de termined-that all 'the troops should retreat by Nord hausen, and took his way for the said place through Sommerda. As the retreat ,for Weimar had origi nally been resolved upon, a division of the troops ,marched thither but on finding an enemy there; they turned towards ErtUrth, and made along detour. --Pn .this occasion General MOLLENDORF, with abOut 6000 men, were pAken , prisoners at Erfurth. On the 17th the army marched iii three columns from Nordhausen to Magdeburgh, throughthesliarz. On the same day the Wurtemburgh corps V'tts attaeked near Halle, by-the corps OflVlßrShal BaIt :NADOTTE, and. defeated. It crossed the 'Elbe at Dessau, bitrned the 'bridge, sent a detachment of 30 men to Wittenberg, to destroy the bridge at that place, whiclis howevei - , was preVented by the inha bitants, and then proceeded' to Magdeburgh. The enemy restored the bridges, passed the river 'at Dessau and Wittenburgh, and thus reached the Oder before the Prussian army IThder Prince HongNLonE, which. was retreating by the way of Magdeburgh. This General, who had always distinguished himself ,by his bravery and.resolution, was obliged to sign an unfortunate Capitulation , for 16,000 men, at Prenz low, on the 28th of Onnbcr. The same day a corps of O,QOO .men, under, General BLUCHER, which had followed him, got as far as Boitzenburgh, where, it escaped the pursuit of the enetuy .(who was coming from every side), by bending towards Stye litz, and a few days after joining another corps un der the Duke of WElilik a. • Both these corps, under the enterprizing and brave General BLUCHER, after fOur engagements, did at last, on the' 7th November, submit to the su perior numbers of the enemy, when they had only 9400 men left; of whom there were oply about 7500 able to bear arms; though they kept three corps of the enemy (those of Prince I.I4oRAT, and of the Marshals SOULT and: IUIINA'DOTTE) for three weeks at'a distance frem the Oder and. Vistula ; for the latter were ten days in marching baCk to Frank fort. It will now be proper to state the force of the Army which fought-against France on the 14th. Ac cording to a statement delii'ered to thel(ING by the Duke of BRUNSWICK, the Prussian army, which was put in tnotion to oppose the enemy, could not be computed 10 exceed' the folloWing numbers ; Etiedive. i Batteries.

Probably no regiment was stronger, and many of them consisted of fewer effeEtive men. • The Saxon forCeS are but snperficiallystated, and a tOrre6 list would shew; that the effeetive numbers of this.,corpS' .both of the. infantry and cavalry, are • rated rather to(i_hiah than too low. On the 14th Oftober the folloWing dedthion ap pearedfroni the above, viz. • I.

We are not accurately acquamted with the force of the French army. Sorrie time 0 - evious to the battle, the different French corps whiCh were en gated; were stated as follow : The Corps of Marshal Bcrodot te 1,800 Davoust - jfi,oe'o goat . 36 w 000 Laimei 43, 0Q0 ugerOau - - 1 1,4Q0 - - 4 25,2c0 • The ReSeries Of Caialry i 0,400 , . . ' Total 1 94,400 It is p' rOliab,le• that the ciirpi of Maishal LiNrrii was the weakest of any in the action; however, we knoW forfora certainty; thdt those of 13aANAbu1`'ts and AUGEREAU were the strongest. The enemy was at least eop,ooo strong.. • . • t • The Prussian armies sustained a great hiss in killed and wounded. The Royal House has supported, by, its personal bravery, .the heroic character ,of its an cestors. The - king had hOrse shot under him With a Musket ball, at the moment' when he was leading a regiment of cavalry against the enemy. General ZAFritqW gave the horse be had rode, to facilitatc his IqAJES - I'Y'i escape, and prevent hint from being made.prisoner. In the night between the sth, his, 1 IVIA ESTY likewise put himself at the head of a regi t u . e n of cavalry, and rode through: the eneiny sword in hand.. Prince Louts died the death of a hero, whey} he found he could not he a conoueror.`, Both his Majesty's , brothers were .wounded i ; Prince HENR Y was with the last. of the troops that remained upon the field of battle; and being burl in consequence of the fall of his 'horse, which was shot, he was only saved by receiving that of Colonel ScutAaNnotts-r. Prince AuousTus FEaottiAN6 is wounded, having; continually fought at the head of his grenadiers with great bravery. The enemy's Princes may have the advantage of the Prussians in military experience, bat certainly they are not superior in valour ; otherwise Wound.,:, and death are no longer certain proofs of the share they took in a4lose and continual engagebient. Not one of the three Commanders of- the Prussian army has escaped unhurt ; the heroic 1./.l;e of BRUNSWICK was mortally Wounded, and has died gpf his wounds ; the brave and noble Prince Honsz:- 1.0 FIE received. a violent contusion upon his-arm the valiant and determined. General Ructm.is bad, 7 - ly wounded; and there are besides; eleven Prussian Generals partly wounded and partly dead. The Prussian army may still be subjea to some failures when oppf.sed to an enemy forme; for war t , and matured ,by 14 years experience. Our cotcau 7 poraries may still bring forward their obieEtions in many.respeas„ but the blood the Prusstaus.have al ready shed, and most probably their. future coudua; Will justify them to posterity. LAW REPOR7. COURT OF KING'S 13ENCII, 111..%1 , t; Mr. GAttitow . Moved to j set aside the udgmmi obtained tin&r a warrant - of Attorney, mid to . c.ly the' levy in' the hands, of , the Sheriff. Hy moved, he - said, upon affidavits which disclosed the f(illowing fat.is : A tradesman in Fleet-street, wanting a tettr pwrary supplf‘of money, and being deluded by the facilities advertised in a - Newspaper, repaired to a house in - , the neighbOtirbood of Cavendish-square, where the adivrtisement informed hitt money was to be obtained onEuivatitakeotis terms. Fe was introduced to a Lady, who proposed that he should draw bills to the amount reqhired , ; and that she would get them negdtiated:r He was, however, ; to take,.as.part of the consideration, a eapitut hunter ; a horse that had hunted with ttie King's hoards, and that the son of the Archbishop of York had offered 150 guineas for; but it should be put in' as a great favour at '129 guineas. The party consented, the bills were drawn; and'as a collateral seem*, he 'gave Warrant of Attiirney, confessing judgment to the amount of the sum to be raised. When the hunter came home; said the Learned - Counsel ; the outside and inside of this extraordinary beast, disposing of his bones to make ivory black, his . hide to the Currier, and his flesh for the dogs, was not worth more-than 31. the very same animal, if the party describing him was to be believed, for which the son of the Arch bishop of York 'had 'offered 150 guineas. But the whole .was delusion, and the tradesman presently found himself swindled. He would, have glad ly' been at a loss of 'khirty 'or forty pounds to have gm his bills back again—but that was refused. the becainc due, and was paid 5 the second wasdishonoured, dishonbured, and the Money Lender " on - ct' dvan 7 ta eous terms" entered up judgment s on the warnme of Attorney. It was therefore to set aside that judgment, and to stay proceedings, that the preserit •naotion was made. The Co Litt granted a fl'ile to she'w cause. DUBLIN, MAY 7..
