EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM .GOTTEN BURGH, JUNE 22. ": Letters from Elsineur received here to-day state, _that a general a&ion has taken place between the French and Russian ArMies, which has termi nated in favour of the latter ; and that when the • accounts came away, the Russians were following up their advantages : but as these accounts depend sole ly upon the authority of a Captain of a Ship arrived from the Baltic, we are•uncertain as to theitauthen /laity, but wish much for their confirmation. EXTRACT .OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM ELSINEUR, JUNE 19. All letters received here confirm the accounts of an aElion between the French and Russians, in. which the latter had the advantage; but it was Only a par tial_ attack on th© French left wing„ in which about 1,000 men killed and a few hundreds,taken prison . ers. It appears to be of no further consequence, hut as it may lead toa general battle. Con.NßAoeir Jobe 18.—Colberg is vigorously cannonaded.

PUBLIC INQUIRY. ,The Country has an assurance both,in the Speech from theThranewhich prorogued the last, and that which opened the present Parliament, that the great objeEts of Publiclnquirywith a view to produce the Most teonotnieal Expenditure of the Public Resources, will • pot ou i• notbe4tbandone - d, but will be prosecuted with increased energy. The CuANcELLou of the ExettE, QUER on Friday night, in his admirable reply to some obserra.tiotis which fell from Lord I-Towicx., pledged the present Mihistry to the formation of a Corn .rnittee oft Finance and Public Offices, on the .brOad basis of impartial investigtion and real public utility. Such a CoOmittee as is. now intended to' be tortned will be capable or rendering most important, bene ficial, and Lasting services to the Country. Their powers ought to be large, and their views extensive. While they bring under their review. transactions of long standing, they ought not to overlook those of more recent date, for those abuses which are of later, birth are the most dangerous and prejudicial.. If. it - shall be found that within the last twelve or eigh teen months places of large amount, and many in number, have been created, for the sole purpose of extending the patronage of the then Ministers : if it shall be found upon inquiry that large additions have been made to the Salaries Of Clerks in of already enormous, merely because they were the relatives or favourites of those at the heads of the de partments in the State—we trust such transadions will not be permitted to remain in the suspicious secrecy with which they were enveloped ! • We have heard likewise of some transactions, .of some years standing, it is true, connected with the department of the War Office, which ought not to be passed over' in silence. We have seen state ments published relative to the mode of applying the money granted for foreign corps, which contain charges of the most serious nature, which ought not to be passed over without the most minute investi gation. We have heard of money having, been drawn by Agents abroad for foreign corps, when; in point of fa6t, the majority of the men existed only upon paper. The public interest requires that if these charges are well founded, the persons who have been guilty should be exposed and punished; on the. other hand, if the charges are false, it is but jus tice to the persons accused that their chara&ers should be rescued from suspicion. In every point of view the most strict inquiry is absolutely necessary. These, and many other things which have hither to unaccountably been' allowed to sleep in oblivion, will, we trust, come under the revision of the Com mittee which the present Administration mean, without loss of time, to propose to Parliament to ap point, and from whose labours, so appointed, we auger the best consequences to the national uiterests and honour. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, FR'otif THE.HA.MIiURGH. ilhsxtteNnunGH, JUNE 9.—Particulars of the evenia which took place on the 4th and sth of June, at the first corps of the Grand Army : . . " On the 4th of June, -at three o'clock in the morning ; the' Enemy made demonstrations to at tack Pettelkan and Zergern by liratinsburgh. Part of the 9th- regiment moved accordingly to the point, where he attempted to cross the river, and com pelled , him to retreat. A cannonade issued from both'banks of the river from Zergern to Pettelkan, Which listed some hours, - but produced no im portant result. At eleven o'clock two colUmns of the Enetny's troopi were observed from the redoubts near Span;-` den, which advanced on the road of Muhlsacli and Wormditt against the bridge-head. Soon after, ihese two coluMns, estimated each at 3000 foot, supported by numerous cavalry, deployed, formed in front of the bridge-head, and unmasked a battery of ten pieces of cannon and two howitzers, which iMmediately cormiidnced to play on our entrench ments. _The fire was returned with great vigour, and after a conilia . w,hich lasted two hours, the Ene my was -obliged 0 - retreat, buth on the road of Mtililsach and Worinditt. " At. three o7clOck in the afternoon every thing was , quiet along the line. On the sth, at iour o'clockin the morning, the advanced posts reported that ,a brisk, cannonade leas . heard on the right, anti-soon after intelligence was received : of a severe. attack being made on ,the 4th and sth The first corps took up arnis, and prepared for any event which could happen. The Prince ot Potr.rz_ . 'operations, made the necessary- dispositions for offensiVe : operations, in order to make a diversion when once the, fire ceased in the right wing. ' • General Ftt HEE, who comManded at the bridge- - head of Spanclen, reported at-nine.o'clock, that two' heads of columns were, perceived on the roads of Muhisach and Wormditt : ,the Enemy advanced .10 to 12,000 foot, 3000 horse, and 20 pieces- of ordnance, posted some battalions of light infantry:On the banks of the Passarge on the right and left of the tete de pant, and his sharp-fi.hooters took post on the banks of that river,. under cover of the woods which are on the right bank. The Prince of PONTE CORVO ordered thereupon six battalions to march from Neumark-to DentSchen'- donf and dire&ed, at the same time, General-GE antri's brigade to advance from the Cant') at Coro vendn, on the heights between Sc4loiden and Span-. den, The 63d Regiment° received circlets also to , support ,Spanden. The four regiments of dragoons, under General LAHOUSSACE, which joined soon after, were distributed in that line. The 17th Re= . giment was .posted in such a manner as•to be able, on the EneMy's first retrograde Movement, to ad-. vance to the right, bank. Whilst these dispositions were carried into execution, the Prince passed -the line on horseback, and approached Spanden, in order to ascertain . the Enemy's views. The road which leads.from Schloiden to that village, was ren dered dangerous by the fire of the Russian sharp shooters,. who were posted on the right bank of the river, and seemed ready to attempt the passage., The Prince ordered them to be dislodged from the woods they occupied, by grape-shot and howit- , zer shells ; but, unfortunately, the pieces of ord nance, destined tor that purpose, did not arrive in due time.. The Prince had proceeded to the bridge head, and:given his orders to Gee. FkSRE. On his return he perceived the, 1 7th regiment of dragoons taking a position under the fire of the Russian in fantry. He was desirous to post it in a less danger- 'bus place, but while he was approaching the r;gi ment, his Serene Highness was struck by a musket ball in the neck, under the right ear: the cdllision was so 1, iolent, that he fell for7wards, with his head on the saddle. The troops, for a moment, were struck with dismay ; they thought their GCneral in Chief was killed; but this painful error did not last long ; the Prince raised his - head again, and employ . - ed hip remaining strength to inspirit the soldiers to avenge him. An exclamation of revenge was - their answer ; and the Prince was endeavouring to avail ' himself of-,this favourable disposition_of the troops, when the blood, streaming forth from his wound, and the weakness •thereby occasioned, coaipellti him tO withdraw to a. house, and get his wound bound up. He therefore direCted General MAISSON:, Chief of the General Stall, tO convey hiS orders to the ditii.qen: 'Generals, strenuously to maintain their positions. The Prince's absence did • not last half an 'hOur. His wound had been scarcer,- bound up, when here ceived a report that the -enemy was attempting to cross the river near Bourden, and immediately pro ceeded, with the 27th regiment of dragoons, to the • Heights of Ditetschendorf. Soon after, General LA PIESSE. arrived, at the head of three recriments•and.a battalion of light•infantry, and marched to the river to attack all who should attempt to cross it. By the • perseverance of these troops, the enemy's design was frustrated : the Prince thereupon received . . intelli 7 gence, that fresh troopS of the enemy had made their appearance,.and that the first two columns were ad vancing to Carry the. bridge-head by assault. He or dered General FAERE to hold out to the last extre mity ; and, in case of need, •to cause himself to• be buried, with the 27th regiment of light infantry, un der the ruins of the redoubt. Gen. WELIATTt was, at the same time, dire&ed to support General FRERE, and to fall'upon the enemy's flanks.. . " General MAlssom soon after reported to. the Prince, that the. five Russian Regiments bad made an attempt to carry the bridge-head by assault, but had been vigorously repulsed by the 27th regiment of light infantry, which kept its fire until the:Rns sians were within musket-Shot. In consequence thereof the fire, supported by grape shot, betarno so destructive, that the . enemy was compelled to '• retreat in disorder. He was ptirsned by the :13.7th • regiment of dragoons beyond • Wutpsen. The Sur geons say, that the Prince's wound will not take more than a fortnight or three weeks to cure, and that he soon will be able to appear again at the head of his corps.

They made so sure of success,' that 'they immediately declared themselves the conquerors of Naples. Upon the eneiny's approach, his Majesty gave orders to General REGNIER to retreat, and by these mtouts to encourage the enemy in his cor.tidence, and draw him some distance from the coast. In .consequence of this measure, the Prince of HESSE soon threat ened the town of Monte Leone. ah e ever, would not suder a place which had giver' such prOofs'of its loyalty, to • fall a UV" Ike to the enemy. General REGNIER faced about, at woken. ine enemy on the esth, near Mileto. In a short rains almost the, whole corps under the Prince of .Fl E ssg was killed or taken: .

After having remained there some days,. no doubt to afford time for their great .plans to ripen, RearAdtnir - al GkEICK sent a Flag of Truce to the Turkish Commandant at Salonica, witth Dispatch, written in Greek,' of which the following is 'a translation . .“ The Commandant of the City shall iinme, l ;,;ely deliver up to the Russian Rear-Admiral, the French Consul; and French in Salonica, with their property, and that of their Correspondents; or p 200,000 Venetian t Sequins. In case of refusal, Ur: Russian Fleet will proceed to burn the. City." , To this summons was added a Note from near. Admiral Gaitcx; filled with the most absurd ne%tA. According to him, the Emperor NApoi.Rox had beta completely defeated, and pursued to Berlin—a sian Arrny Was.advancing upon Constantinople, and W, already, taken Sophia and Adrianople=---and in such a state - of things resistance must be madness. The Turkish Commandant replied, without deign ing to notice the absurdities contained in the Note of the Rear-Admiral, that lae would neither deliver op the French, his Allies, nor pay the 200,000 Se quins; but that if the Russians advanced, they would be received with cannon shot. The Flag of Truce retired with the most violent menaces, : The batteries were immediately p.n in a state of defence : the arrival of the Russian Squa dron was'expeEted every moment ; and it was with the greatest astonishment that it was seen, twenty four hours after, to weigh anchor, and away, with all sails set.
