CAPTAIN CALLAHAN, of the Alexander Hamilton, whose arriVal . at Liverpool from the Savannah - we an nounced yesterday, states, that he got his information from a Mr. SCOTT, a respeaable Gentleman whom he took out passenger from Liverpool, and who had just returned to' Savannah from Charlestown,': as Cap tain C. was on the point of sailing; he reported that be had seen the Captain of. an Americrin vessel from Buenos Ayres, whom he minutely questioned upon the subjed; and from whose account he entertained no doubt of its re-capture. The English force is stated to have suffered con siderably. Tuts morning a Gottenturgh "nil arrived, but the Intelligence which it brings is of a very old -date. We.have seen, however, some private Letters, that tend to confirm the accounts which we have ieceived through such a variety of . clAnnels of the mortality that prevails in the Fr,ench Army, and of the ditl fieulties which it expetiences in obtaining provisions. The Russians have in' their retreat uniformly laid waste the Country, so that the French are obliged to bring . the necessary supplies for their immense 'Army from a very great distance; . and it is perfe&ly well-known that, even in the finest weather, the roads in Poland are extremely bad, but in winter, particularly when there has been much rain, , they are nearly inipassable; The French accounts, it is true, state that the weather is particularly favourable, that . the Army is perfe6.lly, healthy, and that it is abundantly supplied with provisions. We should certainly not be inclined .to give implicit credit to . these accounts, even if they stood uncontracliaed ; but when the intelligence which has been received from all quarters, even those immediately "under: French influence, is in direa variance with—the French statements, they do* not appear deserving 9f the slightest credit. On - the' other hand, we do not wish to excite expeaation which may prove to be too sanguine.; we do not give qredit to those accounts which represent the French Army as being nearly annihilated by disease, &c. 'rior do we think that they would. be easily clefeat&l by the Russian Army, numerous and warlike as it is ; but we are convinced that there has been a con siderable mortality in the French Army -L-that it experiences very great difficulties in obtain ingpro visions—and that if the Russians persevere in their present system, BONAPARTE will be placed in a most dangerous situation. We trust, however, that we shall soon be able to lay before our Readers suc'h information as 3.vi1l move all doubt upon the . _subjed, as a Messenger from Lord HUTC kilNBol4 is hourly expected. . MANY people have doubted . the truth of the ac count which haSbeen given of the late extraordinary interview between BoNAPARTE and the'Deputiesfrom , Harnburgh. We are assured, however, by a quarter in which we place entire confidnce, that the real cir- . e ur nstances which attended that interview were , • more extravagant than they appear in the account, alluded to, and that it is hardly Possible tO.describe the violence of IiONAPA'EtTE upon the occasion. •At • first: the application for a Mitigation of his, Depree.,..• respeding .

Op Wednesday last his Royal Highless the Duke of Sinn* had the happiness of Tecexing, her MA JESTY, ae,.onranied by. ad -he PRINCESSES and suite, at the bottom of the great staircase, at Ken sington Palace, where they alighted from theircar. ;riages at a little before three o'clock. These illustrious Personages were soon after fol., lowed by his Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, the Duke-and Duchess of.r.oax,. the Duke of Cunt- BERLAND, and all the other Royal Brothers, except one, namely', the Dukel of CLARENCE, who was ; prevented by indisposition. After viewing the Pa lace and its improvements, a grand concert was per formed, in order to fill.up the time till dinner ; but owing to the KING having gone to Windsor, her MAJESTY merely partook of a collation, and quitted the Palace soon after 5 o'clock. On the departure of the QUEEN and PRINCESSES, the music was then resumed till dinner was announced, at h'alf past se ven. The entertainment was served up in the most Magnificent style possible, on an elegant service of gold plate. l'he. attendants were all attired in new full-dress Royal Liveries, and the Duke of KEN - fa band played during the banquet. At dinner were their Royal Highnesses the PRINCE of WAL E S, DUKES of KENT, CAMBRIDGE, &c. &c. The two latter joined the Party . late. There were likewise present -two foreign Noble men of the,firSt distinelion, whose:names-we could not learn ; the Marquis of fir , ;AnFotr, Mr. WaLsx . PORTER, Colonel M. PARKINS, Count SALVO, Ba ron EDEN,. FRITH and BRO , "iMFIRLD.- s&C. The whole Corps de Opera attended; together with several other• professional performers of, great. ambience. Music constituted the whole of thee amtisernents of the evening. Mesdames PERRIN/ and 'BIANCHI sung sweetly, and NA:LDI was in. fine voice. His Royal Highness the PRINCE 0/ WALES seemed highly delighted, and did,nOt de part - tilt near two o'clock, when slipper was serrd. '- ed up.
