The following are extracts from their contents : GOTTENBURGW, SEPT. 12.—0 n liVeclriesdilY,',l,42t. the Governor ga ‘ ve orders to prepare transports for, 7000 men by the. 24th instant, but a Courier ar rived last night from Stockholm, wiih,orders for them to be ready by the 20th instant. • The whole of the Swedish ft-imps to b embark ed will. amount to 30;000: they are to be joined by 35,000 Russians, Letters fronilliga, of the ISt inst. state, that the Prince of WITTGENSTEIN had a fourth time attacked and defeated with very great loiss the corps lately commanded by the Duke of REGGIO. Accounts from Copenhagen say, that the Duke of REobto has died of his wounds. The garrison of Riga has moue a sally, and cut three Prltssian r giments to piece,. An official report from General WITTGEN3T:EN,, dated the 19th ; August, says - , that on the. 17th he drove General CiUDINOt back into- his entrench- inents. loss of the ,11),:ssians is estimated at '2OOO men in killed and wounded ; that of the enern is very considerable, in addition to 2000 prisoners. On the 18th 'the French, attacked the Russians under WI 7;7 GL Ns , and were repulsed with '•# grcatloss. Two Rastian Gentlemen arrived this day in town, and proceeded immediately to the Foreign Office. We learn that they did not bring .dis patches from the Russian Government, but private letters. They left Gcttenburgb on. the 19th, at which time no particular news had reached that place. • T 1 e late glorious successes of our arms in: Fp!kin seem not only to have raffled the tempers, but to have impaired the judgments of the ,Oppo•- sition Writers. It is, we admit, no. very plea,' %Int ,thing for them to have all their predictions . falsified;, brit then, one would suppose', that in the successes of their country, their patriotism would ' T tin'd•some consolation for the failure all their pyogtiosticated prophecies."---W e should have thought that policy would have induced them at lc t - to have atisumed the appearance of satisfac tion, at a moment -when the whole empire is ani nr.ted by the proudest feeling,; of exultation ; but it is not.easy to get rid of old habits ; the Party always have desponded, and always will despond, v, hen' they arc out of office. The MorizZag Ch-ra ?iiele begins its . daily lamentations this morning with. the following' remarkable sentence There - is nothing, perhaps, in the . birtory of mind so extraordinarK, as the darkness: and " stupefaction which prevails with -regard to the " present acquisitions, the-future progress, and the ultimate des4,7ns of BUONAP\R'TE, 'in the " northern wa:•.': We did not, we confgss, Feet to hear such language from a , party which . has been uniformly and systematically wrong in every opinion which it has pronounced upon the subject . of the war for the last three years. Our ob servations are not cons ned to the Moraing ChraniCle; they are directed against the beads of the Party — those Noblemen and Gentlemen who have arrogated to themselves the exclusive possession of the talents 'of this country, and who proved the justice of the claim, by declaring and recording their opinipn, o , .at FortugaVwas indefensible. , If the Party 11:1! come into power four years ago, Por t::gal would have been at this moment 'F.-ovince. of France ; JOSEPH ThioNAP.I.TE, in s:ead of being a wretched fugitive, would now he seated quietly on the Throne . of Spain, and the Spluisit'ports .and fleets would.now he in the p:)sses:siOn of France: Sueh would have been the ituLtiou of theTeninsula, if these great Statesmen 1,:.c are called, bad been iti`power. now see what is the state of that, important part of the Continent : Portugal is complet'ely ice Spain is nearly liberated; the 'Spanish Navy , has . been rescued , from the grasp of Yunce ; the 13llies are every whore trium phant ; the French Armies, reduced in numbers,, r.pd, what is Much more important, broken in spirit, aTe every where retreating ; but above all, the people of Spain and Portugal arc firmly attached to Great .tritain, not only by the ties, of interest, but by those of gratitude and friend- Let tts Let the people of England compare these two pictnrcs; and' then let tTicrn decide '!--,e ther “. the Party ate kist:iltfd in holding such _ . lan ;;uage as that whicu we at the beginning of this article. We -do nct say that zt great Sttates, man mav\not be mistaken; hut, surely, snch a series of mistakes as the Party have fallen into, should have taught them, if not humility, ; at:least eau:- tion. The object of ,the article in ,tbe . Chronic . le of this day, is to prove that the whole system of operatitns 'which Russia h s •adopted have been Wreing, and that her cause is_ hopeless. .'"Now, it 'should be • recollected; T - tbat . when the contest between Russia And .I:zrance was abduf to cow- , ni6nce, those Very, pefsonS who now loudly con clemn the system of Nyarfare which Russi t has adopt . ed', strongly urpt'd the adoption of that Very system, ve were told that -if the R ussiaus fough t pitched battle they would be ruined, 4nd that tlicit oily policy • was. to' retreat. and to lay waste the country. "It is" (said they, a little more than two 'months ago) " it is the llope of all abserv " infr Ilion, that the Russian Commanders will re " • strain theitatural` impetuosity of their troops, and act:uniformly on the,6fensiv'e.l They.,lrave " no. other chance of success ; and even for this, ' " their country is not the best calculated, as it " does not afford the ineans' . ol impeding an' ene " My's March bysnaturlll fortresses, Their- chief *dependende must, therefore, be in the dift. 7 .calty' '' which the French s ill find in subsistiy,g tl;Cir " arnlics:, and particularly in fiiiding . forage for " their cavalry. • r'2 l ,-ei-y elrort- must be' ins: lc to' `` nggraVatc this diffculty' 5 naz i thougl! it ca'n only " be, done by desclaiing the - country tbro.4,Th • " have to pass,-..yet e , :en this horl . .ible ,calamity mast be eri:iureth" This ve , ;- . / plan-, Which was-to insl:re success, has been adopted, and we ire now corisistent!y told that it' must be pr&fuctive of utter r;iin. The Fiussians are abused. for retreating,and :for ahaii 7 cloning a country. (;ve'solemnly - assure our Readers we are quoting- correctly) " shaded with scent cities, and teeming with redundant popu lation!!!" We are accustomed to perversion of argument by the Party, butsuch a ludicrous igno rance of facts we scarcely ever remember to have witnessed. We hope the Morning Chronicle will, as soon as con ven:ent, for the edification °fits - Readers, and for the information of geographers, publish a list of those magnificent cities which " shnde" the several hundred Miles of territory bier which BUONAPARTE has arready advanced.—We have not room to pursue this subject any farther at present, but without wishing to excite hopes that may prove too sanguine, we shall repeat the Opinion we have before expressed, that as long . .as the Russian army remains unbroken, the advance of the French cannot be considered as deciiive of the contest.
