They 'had 'rallied all their dis-, persed corps.; they bad 'them advanced .I.lv forced marehes, in, carriages ; in abort, by all possible means. According to them the enemy was very numerous ; his army was composed of three Austrian divisions, of which two were in fantry,' Conutnuided — by Ci2ner;its Fresnal and Bildt, and one of cavalry under General .Sidenys, besides three Bavarian divisions, at the head of which were Generalsßechherg;Bulters ,and Prince Charlts commanded a brigade in the day of Mount ; he was exposed to the, tgreatest dangers. General WretlC. niOrtllly W oi nu l e d, and is no longer a condition to command. Ge neral Fresnal lost a great part of his. division,- and received several wounds. A Bavarian divi sion was annihilated. Several Generals' were put Iw-B.th! combat. • •We continue to'enjoy here, and in all the Grand Duchy, the most perfect tranquility. The enCilly themselves allow that it has not possible for them to reach the French army during its march to Rhine. They experienced siteh a loss in the battle near Leipsie, that they were not able to 'follow the movements of the French ,army ; and as often as any of the,partisan corps d;u•ed to approach too near, they were always reptilsed to a . distance. The Prussians have been obliged to confess that they lost, from the 18th to - .the 20th, - more than 23,000 men ; and the loss of the Austrians was still more considerable. Thus these corps find notch difficulty in re-forming themselves; emits do not arrive, and die army wants an i n .. finite number of things. Th e allies consider Saxony aS to conquered conn try, and oxertvhclut it With the turthens of war.- Their troops disl) , rse themselves over it, observe no discipline, and maltreat the peaceable inhabi tants. They have appointed'( en.Repuin Gover nor,General, who has the btv,ioess of police 'per formed by CoSsacks. - The ailairs, ecclesiastical, and' military are under his jorisdietion. The celebrated Baron de Stein has been appointed . Administrator of all the German countries occu pied by the troops of the coalition. - The conduCt of the alliek towards the respectable and nautili 'Tote King of Saxony, has excited general iutiil naation throughout Germany. It hits produced the most livefy sensation:in the different German COOrtS.' • s CAULSRUHE Nov. 5.---It is pretended here that General Wrede t mated with- Prince de Reuss with out being authorised by the Bavarian - Govern. ment ; that an estate in Austria and the title of Austrian Field-Zeugmeister was the price ,of his treason, and that be threateeed to march with his 'army upon Munich, if'the treaty of alliance,which he had concluded was not ratified. Those . re.;- p orts , which we do guarantee, are: spread throughout all Germany,Pbut What we certify -is, that the same General Wrede owes all his military r,,,•ti v o, t o F r a n ce l ibat the Emperor Napoleon had given him a magnificent estate, end that he had received the title of Grand Officer of the Le gion of Honour, and tbat,of Count of the Linpire.' WAttsAw, Our. 3,—.04m the lith September, it was attempted to bombard Dantzic on the sea side. The flotilla approached, supported by the English vessels stationed in the road. The fire lasted front six in the morning till six at night, but towards noon, the wind having become strong, and the.rrenell batteries being more de vated than the gun-boats constructed for craising along the coast of .14'inland,' the Allies could not accomplish time end they proposed, amid, nitt with standing the bravery of their crews, the enterprise completely failed.

The inhabitants of Mentz pressed Limon the road by which he pass ed, and the ery of Ti:Oe TEmpereur resounded from all parts. It is'impossible to give a just idea of the enthusiasm and devotion evinced by all the inhabitants of the left ,bank of the Rhine.. Our town and its environs are crowded with troops of :all arms. For six days the bridge over the Rhine has not ceased being coveted with them. 'BAYONNE, OCT. the affair of the Bth, in which the English were repulsed, no remarkable event has occurred. The weather has set in cold, and the mountains are already covered with snow. It is not thou -ht the enemy's General will under take any thin"; before spring, and at that epoch it is doubted whether he tvill be in a condition to assun.e the offensive. Our army had been rein forced, and his is much diminished by the deser tion of the Spanialds, acid the soldier:4_ Of OE _lO-; reign corps in the pay of 'England. The day be fore yesterday 22 deserters arrived ; yesterday, 50. A day does not pass without some deserting to us. Towards Saint Jean-Pied-de-Port an entire post of 90 men, ithnost all Andaitt , Aans, deserted with arms and litggage. These are positive 12iets, and which, besiks, ought not to excite astonishment, as the enemy's army ust necessarily suffer notch in the position it oCCUpieS :, the ,lialt and Por-- tnguesc want for nothing, whi4t the Spaniards are neither paid, clothed, nor tech., This ditle- mice excitesjealonsy, , and the Litter, who will ingly made war in their respective provinces , only remain by ,compulsion in' line, The Chiefs of bands, who were independent, with difficulty ton form to subordination, and with pain see their best soldiers taken from them to be incorporated with the regular troops. it is certain, that from Vittoria to Valladolid, there arc 'guerillas which hold the, country, and which do not even respect the English convoys.— Ourworks daily aiivance, and will soon be com pleted ; they will, t o crtSe of necessity, be vigor oysly defended ; but , if since the Bth, the enemy lips not considered himself in a condition to attack , us, and if he has tranquilly seen otkr troops e'rect, under his eyes., . entrenchments upon entreOch mews, it is not probable that he will undertake P.ny nt a moment then our means - nf (I(4ence hre ready, and the most f9rmidabk works exeelited.

[Arrived this Morning.] MoNTREIa, OCT. 9.- . ---From La Firmly, me learn that the troops at that place have been under arms from four o'clock this morning. All the Montreal volunteer companies and .the 7th battalion, we understand, haVe also receivetkorders to cross the river this afternoon—coujectare is afloat respect ing the cause, but nothing certain has trauspited. An unotlicial account luis:been received at Head quarters, of the action which took place on the 28th ult. between the two fleets off York, by which it appears that the engagement lasted for upwards of three hours, and terminated by the enemy's declining to follow our fleet to their an eliorage at the head of the Lake, although the wind was in their favour. Shortly after the coin . mencement of the action, the Wolfe lost her main and MIMI top-masts, which obliged her fora short time to qu:t the line ; but after clearing the wreck, she resumed her station, and continued the action, until the violence of the wind obliged her, as she could not carry sail suffidient to beat to windward, to put away before it, towards the , •head of the Lake, where the squadron came to anchor that evening, and where they remained re fitting and getting inn= top-masts for the Wolfe on the - 29th. • Our ships suffered no material ininry during the . l engagetnent : we. hall fire men .killed the wound ed not known. Three of the enemy's vcbooners appeared to be very much crippled, and one of theta is said to have been sunk. The Madison,. •which bore a great shine in the action, appeared also to have suffered much. The Pike is-said to have kept at a cotisid'erable distance during the whole 'of it. The enemy's sqnadron, eight in number (though consisting of eleven the day before) had matte their appearance off Burlington Heights on the 29th, but did not venture to attack our fleet, al though the wind was still in their fttvour, anti our vessels were refitting, In addition to the above, we - learn that' the 'Anierican squadron set off from the head of the Like on the Ist instant, with . a,large tran4port of , boats, filled with troOps, supposed, for Sacket',s Harbour; that Sir JaMes Yen sailed the ensuing morning in pursuit, and forced , thetim to make a landing, and that 'mm the r3d instant time fleets were in sight of each other. ' • By a di patch which arrived this forenoon we antlers:taud accounts have been received that a convoy of our boats which were conveying pro visions front Burlington Heights to tl.e army, have all, except one, been taken or destroyed by the enemy. Two sloops are also reported to have been taken near Kingston,. on their 'return front the vicinity of the army. Upon our lines, it is said that the enemy are making movements at Odeltown, anti upon the . upper parts of Chateagay River, indicative of ir ruptions into this Province. Their force is not known, but is estimated at from 6000 to 8000. They arc making considerable progress in recruit ing on the two or three months system at four teen dollars per month, and to serve no longer as militiamen during time War after the time expires, unless they choose otherwise. On the 311, the fleets were on l y at a shoit dis tance front each other. Another running action Was expected. On Thursday morning four com panies of the 103 d regiment set off from this for Upper Canada. We understand that a sharp action took place yesterday, between the Voltigeur pictinets, and those of the enemy. The hitter received such reinforcements as rendered it p ru d ent i n us to retire.--Se eras were killed on both sides.
