som the iketh of the territory. of Rama& and Sint pi corps, the next day, to occupy Coburg. The e* acuity of the Prussian lett' wingP ne dati, eicamisted of a corps under Gmer:l TAiteszei es, eft Hoff, in the territory of Ilareuth, which bad pushed forward its out-posts to Muncliberg. right wing of the French is variously described 95 the corps of DAVOUST, LEIMINVItit, Of BERNA. dorm and of Sooty, recently arrived from Passau. Is probably consisted of divisions of these several corps, the whole under the command of BIRNA.• DOTTi, in person. It advanced on the eth against Hot. HadTs u etaviN'S corps, at that place, resisted, the French would have probably penetrated from Coburg, soil cut it off; but TAULSIIIN judiciously *ll back to Schleiz, and thence to Ncustadt on the t, as which time Prime HONENLOSIC, who COM. tended the Prussian left wing, had his head-quar ters a few miles is the North, at Gera. So much of the movements upon the theatre of war may he colland from the Foreign Papers, received in the ci'iurse of last week. The Flanitip•pb Correspun ,lenten of the 17th , received yesterday, following up this iinerwtanrbhsiness, states, that by the Teti eat of TAUENT.E*7t4 to Neustadt, the corps under Prince Lotfislitsole•oo, which was stationed at !Ludo(. math, upon the Saul, a little to the North of Saal feld, became the van of the Prussian left. It has been inferred, from thp _reteggeade movement of Veueweeves that the Prussians menu to of 'upon the per etisivt Chet is not the fad ; ghat Central having wisely retreated merely in eel siequede of Ms weakness, and t h e greatly superior force ef the meant %fought to bear upon that point; and having probably seen that the °Neil of Odle enemy was to cut fittni off: We find, actnrding- Com Prince How as tone made preparations to 'oppose the farther advance of the French. An lir ' lisle from Frankfort, ef the 11th, states, that he ad. lanced into the territory of Bareuth, to make head against Berteenbere, but that is not the fad.— Ide, however, did advance from Gera, resolved to attack the enemy in turn. For ethis purpn , e, the corps of Prince Louis, amounting to about (000, was ptished forward from Rudolstadt to Saalfefd, with orders to defend the bridge over the S t eal to the last extremity, while the main (twee of the left tying. under Prince HOHENLOMZ, attempted to turn tape enemy. The French, amounting to above 20,000 men, attempted to force the bridge, which was bravely defended by the Prussians. though not enefourth of their number, for six hours, when the gallant Prince Louis we; killed, and his trocr,oi, by his loss, were thrown into mo• nientary disorder. The account, indeed, says, that the Prince, not content with defending the bridge of Saalfeld, became the assailant, and this: defeated the plan of Prince FICMIU LOH!, to turn the enemy. In this affair, besides Prince Louis, the Prussians lbst 1,530 men, and some ear.non. The loss of the trench was more considerable. Ptince Louts was die son of Prince AUGUSTUS FERDIN ASP., brother of PREIIERICK the Gum. He was in his 34th year, and Ms death is greatly regretted by the army. It WAS evidently a report of these operations. from the Bth Co the 10th, inclusive, which was received at ti,e Hague on the 16th, published the next d.ty in the Stale Carreto, and since become in 1. , .nd0n the sub jea of en mach exaggeration among the weak and credulous. The If antbmtglt Corrttpentfruten, however, assures ■s, that the business of Saalfeld has been nobly avenged by Prince lion Eexone, who is said to have defeated the right of the French, between Schleiz and Gcra. The date of the anion is ten mentioned, but it was probably on the llrh. The tins of the enemy is stated at six thousand killed, and fourteen thousand taken prisoners. The success of Prince HUH L N LUISA is announced in an article dated Berlin, the 1 5th, which states, that the mews was publicly rc...ted in that city, in . front of the house of the Governor, with tl.e addi- don, that General Recisci. had a!sn defeated the deft wing of the French. The Queen of Pat,ssis is also said to have written a letter to the Hereditary P. ince, 'in which.she says," Itejnice, my son, Prince lois EN LOSS! has defeated the enemy." This vietory ap ?ears to have been the result of an attempt On The past of B xsaAD3TTs, to follow up his success at Saalfeld. The account I he loss of the French is probably an exaggeration, as, if true to its full ex •tenf, it Would amount to the almost fetal desttue ticn of Base ADOTTeIi corps. This part of the ac count of Hon IN Lonessuccess also comes from Dres den,which is ont of ,the way, and no official details tad been received at Berlin. The same system which the French were praßising on the Prussian left, the Prussians appear to have carried into execution on the left ot the French. We have noticed, snore than once, that the Prussian right, under Roomy. and Biomass, was seat forward toward; the Rhine.— It is supposed that it was this corps that turn ed the left of the French, between Frank fort and Cassel, and took General AtlocitEaU pri soner. If these accounts be corps 1, the centre, under Bon AAAAAA , at kis:lnch, must have been placed in a most rcrlcras situating. It was 11 Tl., Pc. ~41 yr!". ;St If e* DUliZ° plrOit its C, C 3.

Another corps, advancing still farther to the North, had taken possession of !stepper'. When we consider how much the operations of the late war upon the Continent were misrepresented by the Hamburgh Papers, partici:Wl) , in the case of the battle of Austerlitz, we must be slow to credit the present accounts in their full extent. At the' same time, we do think that the silence of the Dutch Papers of the lath, respeCting the announced victories of the French, is in favour of the reports of their defeat. Dutch letters, also, of the 18th, state that the French had sustained a defeat upon the Rhine.--The King of Pacssta had ad vanced his head-quarters to Blenkenhagen, and as • the centres of the atmics were separated only by a few miles, a general adion was expeeted on the 14th. There is one circumstance in these details not easily to be accounted for. It is the arrival of some French Hussars at Lepsic, on the 131, who levied a small cont-ihution. and went away. This can be only reconciled with Hnlittl LOH s's success, by sup posing that they were some maurauders from a dis persed corps of the French wing. Letters from Berlin of the 14th, assert, in de ' eldetlterim, that the first Russian Army, comprising itt first ropposed, that 1tt:612 es temps dispatched ag.i'oist the Dutch Araiy, arrived Weed, 60,000 men, had arrived in Silesia, and were to be followed by I yO,OOJ men more. As a set off, however, against this good news, it is said, that the Emperor ist Aver are has declared his determination to rarraath neutraL A favourable oipportunity, we have no doubt, will induce him to change his mind. The mo,t extrAvagant reports prevailed yester day, in consequence of the arrival of the Hamburgh mail. One of them stated, that BON6P•RTa was taken prisoner. The Am.kland packet is arrived at Falmouth, in six days, from Lishon. She was not dispatched with a regular mail, but was engaged by Govern ment to convey to England a secr►tary of the Rus sian Ausassanon, who is on a particular mission at Mach This affair has er"ed much speculation at Lisbon. &nee his Excellency's arrival at the Conrt of tladrid, Spain is arming in all quarters, and the Spanish Government is at this moment die play;ng an energy of which few could think it ca. Fable. A Hanovreian Messenger came over in the packet which brought the Hamhurgh Mail, yes terday moraing, lions the Head-quarters of the Prussian army, with dispatches for Ministers. He brings the unpleasant information, that Messrs Wacsr see and ‘I it. Lex, two of our Messenger., were intercepted, and taken prisoners by the French, with their dispatches. The Jamaica fleet, to the amount of above 40 sail, arrived on Friday afternoon, off Beechy Head. I'hcy parted rash the rest of S. Ten sail of the homewarJthnund Lisbon and Oporto fleet have arrived at Kinsale. The remainder were left under convoy of a frigate, at s•ime distance to the westward. The wind being unfavontahlt to their progress to the east card, it was probable they would make some of the western ports. • A iluisian 80.7.,wr shi,, is arrived at Neste from the Black Sea, being part of a squadron of six sail, full of troops, intended for the Adriatic. It is confirmed, that a Russian Corps of 40,000 men has entered Wallachia.
