THE BRITISH PRESS. LON DON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12. The Hamburgh Mail, due on Sunday, arrived yesterday, with letters and papers to the sth. The posts from Prussia and Russia had not reached that city when the packet sailed, and consequently the accounts from the most interesting sources of intel ligence, are not of later date than those of which we were already in possession. The Hamburgh Papers, however, contain much new matter, that will be read with interest. They trace the course of the respativc armies after the Ith, with tolera ble accuracy. We were already informed, chat immediately subsequent to that event, the French army divided into two corps, the left of which marched dire& for Magdebutgh, while the right proceeded to Berlin. We new find, th it the Prus sians, on abandoning Magdeburg'', crossed the Elbe on the 2bth and 27th, at Tongermunde and S:andel, and were followed by the French left, under Soul T, on the 28th. The right of the French, under bluraT, passed the Elbe, at Dessau and Wittenburg ; and while a corps under Ht:t.im, en tered Berlin on the 24tir, the remainder pushed on for the Oder, to prevent the Prussians from passing . that river. the sicittnlees, which are stated its former Oaper " to have taken plat 4 at Tap:o:n and Netistadt-linderGralie, were probably' I . l),ught ley this corps ; of the anual passage of the Oder by the Prussians we have no certain intelligetre. An article from Mecklenburgh, of the Ist inst. s:stes, that they had reached that river with some loss.-- The particulars of the loss, after the departure of the Pruslians from Magdeburgh, are not mentiohed; but it is said that Suucr, when advancing to that fortress, came up with a corps of 1 5,000, o • :he 17th ; took 4,000 men prisoners. and 30 pieces of cannot). The last accounts left the king of PRUSSIA at Custrin. It is probable, flint if the Prussian Ar my' from Magdeburg has succeeded In crossing the Oder, it will await the arrival of the Russians at that place. The latter are said to haVe reaoh ed Posers, in Polish Prussia. only a fey, days march from the Odor. They are est:mated at 250,000 men, but this is evidently an eeaggera lien.
