Wit some days ago cautioned our Iteade,rs'againit giving credit to the repo-as which were indUstri. ouhly circulated , reepteling the defeat or check of the Army under the command of General Lord LAKE,in India. We are now enabled to'contradid them positively. The last Letters which have teen 'received from Lord LACE state, that hit - Lord. ship was then on the point of marching 'against the Enemy, but he had had no engagement with them whatever. With respea to the defeat which the Detachment under the' command of Colonel SHEPH tkn is said to have sustained, we are unable either to contradict Of confirm the repott 3 but ,we think it our duty to, correct an error into which the Public have been led by those who seem determined to lose no opporrunity of dejareciating the successes and exaggerating the-misfortunes of their Country...— Colonel Stu rH E who is said, to have been de feated, is represented as' having commanded a Dc. tachinent of Lord Lnics'a Army, and the .conse ciaenc:s of his defeat (suppoiing it to be true) are stated a, being most serious. The fan is, Col. FiFt r,ra tap' did not command any detachment from Lord .LAKE's Army, or any part of the Regu lar Forces. lie commanded a small number of N 4 tive Troops, whiel, from his long residerce in the Country, he had been enabled, to collet himself; and it is. very. rrobable, that in conse. quence of the defeat -of Colonel Motrsoti, he . had fallen back : hut even if it be true ihat he has him. gelf Suffern! a defeat, it can have very little, if any, cad upon the operations of the Main Army. 1, , the accounts which have lately been received from the Continent in Private Letters may be de. , pended upon, BONi.PAgTE has succeeded in pre vailing upon the Emtiltaott .of GitIi.MANY to acknow. ledge his newly.usurped title of KING of ITALY ) and to reduce very considerably the number of Austrian Troops on the, Italian frontiers. We ahall certainly require some mire authentic litchi ,gence upon the subjeft before we give implicit ere. 'dit Ito this statement ; though, after the contluet which.vie have for some time witnessed in 'many of. the ConlinentAl States, we cannot be much surprised at any submission to the will of the Usurper, how. over impolitic or'however degrading. Tux Embarkation of the Troops under the corn. mand of General Ca.ntrz was completed on Satur. day. The Regiments employed upon this Expedi. lion are, the 39th, 44th, 48th, 58th, and Brst Regiments of Foot, and the zoth Light Dragoons.
