The first diviit,n, commanded by General All- CHAUV, being obliged t.) follow the course of the Weser; and to march through Hoxter and Pyrrnont, could not arrive before this day. The division of GOBERT, with the King, arrived yesterday at one o'clock before the place. The troops advanced by forced marches, in order; with as much rapidity as . possible, to keep in check those of the enemy's en; , trenched camp, and not to afford them time to occupy Rintelen, Where they might have broken down the bridge, spiked the guns, and burnt the draw-bridge that place being without a garrison, which had been sent back a few days before by the Hessian General. Before arriving at Ertzen, his Majesty had formed the van, consisting of the 22d French regi ment of the line, a detachment of cavalry of the Guards, of the Dutch hussars of the 2d regiment, and Iwo geld-pieces, under the command of Major- DEMLEC. As-soon as these troops bad passed beyond Ertzen, they encountered the Enemy near the village of Gross-Barkei. The Dutch hussars made a • most violent attack on the dragoon .regi meat of BRuswrTz, and on a detachment of hussars of BLIICHEF who offered resistance ; but, — after ,being at close quarters a few moments, the enemy was ihroWn into disorder, and, although the enemy's in fantry was posted in the rear, to support the horse, the Dutch hussars drove them under the batteries, and remained there in order of battle, till the King sent them orders not to expose themselves any longer to the fire of the 'entrenchments, but to .re treat iii that position which his Majesty had pointed out to the van. . " The'Voltigeurs of the 22d regiment supported the Cavalry : they had 'travelled 20 German tulles through byeways,, and apiii.ared much fatigued till the inciment the fire commenced, when their fatigue was nolonger apparent, and they rapidly advanced to the wood in which the enemy's infantry endeavoured to retreat ; attacked and pursued them to neat the town. The cavalry of His Majesty's Guard, being formed in a column behind the hussars, could not come to cliyie quarters. Colonel TRAVERS then made a move inen't On his left flank, breaking off hi a column, and forrning on the flank of the Enemy's cavalry, in spite of th 4 fire of the infantry. " The result of this engagement is, the retreat of the Vemy to theit entrenchments, too prisoners of the regiments of BrUswites Letton, Hagen, &c. and ithe same number of killed and wounded. We gfeatly %ardent the misfortune of Colonel loovxm, Chief itlitriutOit of the Palace, whose thigh Nw3s shot off by a catiuon-ball. Capt. LsAzz, of the puards, is badly wounded; and of the 2d regiment ji?iutch hussars, 13 were wounded, but not one dangerously." ScntuDAm,Nov. t4.--►The inhabitants of Potsdam have been ezerttpted from contribution, from respect to the manes of PREDERICIL the GREAT. It if Said that the Emperor of Russi♦ bas sent General ToLvroy to condole with the King of PRUSSIA. Stettin and Custiin have surrendered to the Trench. The Grand Duke or BERG Vvas expe&ed on the morning of the 6th instant at Lubec, in order to &tack General EitycsEa, who had retreated thither. On the 3d instant the Swedish corps which had act:spied the Lunenburgh territory, appeared before Ihee, and obtained admittance thee by violence. On the sth they had nearly all embarked for Trave "auntie, on their way to Stralsund, where every pos sible measure is taking to strengthen that place. Magdeburgh has capitulated. Tt is said the Duke of BRUNSWICK purposed `o proceed from Altona to England. Old Prussia, Silesia, and Poland, are about to be come the theatre of war. Some of the French ad vanced posts have even entered Poland. The Marquis LUCCHESINI'S mission to the Em peror NAPOLEON has been unsuccessful ; 3nd it is now said that the KING of PitusstA presses to have an interview with the_ EMPEROR of the FRENCH. Marshal MOBTIER has, by a Proclamation, taken possession sof the EleBorate of Hesse-Cassel. The French General LAGRAWGE is appointed Governor of that Eleanrate. According to a Letter from Nuremburgh, dated Nov. 2, the fortress of Plassernburgh had,,not then surrendered. Several waggons, laden with money, have lately Arrived at Deventer from Munster, and also several from Holland, at - first destined for the Royal Army all of which, however, has been lodged at the Gene ;al Bureau. A yea' number of pieces of ordnance, waggons and carts, laden with pow4r, have passed through Deventer, for the army in Westphalia ; :whither also several detachnients of Dutch Grena diers and Infantry are marching. _2— MAILS.

If the French and Dutch :lc- counts are to be credited; not a man of the Prussian Army has succeeded in gaining the right bank of the Oder. The different divisions of that Army have been captured in detail, as it appears, almost without resistance. But this is not all ; Magde burgh, Stettin, and Custriri, have surrendered, al moat at the first summons. The result of the yhole' . that the French are complete masters of all..the Prussian dominions on the left bank of the Oder. BONAPARTE has distinaly avowed his intention of crossing' the Oder, for the purpose of meeting the Russians ; and seems to consider the conquest of Poland as certain ; he says, " that immense -bar rier which seemed for ever to separate Russia and France, has at length been removed ;" and the Em peror ALEXANDER is told in a Demi-official Paper belonging to the French Government, that " he may shortly see the fatal consequences of the system of his - Cabinet, otherwise he may probably not long be able to disturb the peace of the Continent." With respect to the advance of the Russian Troops, we have no distina account in the French and Dutch Papers,•except that one division under Prince BA GRATION had arrived at Breslau, in Silesia ; but the amount of his force is not mentioned.' It is stated, but we hope untruly, that ,the KING of PRUS SIA had applied to BONAPARTE for a personal in terview, which the latter refused. Such an inter view could only tend to degrade His Prussian Ma jesty, without affording him the slightest chance of obtaining more favourable terms. Great Britain, of course, is not forgotten in the Bulletins, nor in the Proclamation which Bo- NAPAKTE issued to his Army. In the latter. he says, 44 We will be no longer the sport of a treacherous Peace, and we will not lay down our arms until we have obliged the English, those eternal Enemies of our Nation, to renounce the scheme of disturbing the Continent, and the tyranny of the Seas." There does not appear to be any foundation for the report of the Austrian Army having entered Saxony. Bermuda Papers to the 30th September inclu sive have arrived. Governor HondsoN and fami ly arrived there the Tuesday preceding, and on Thursday was sworn into office. The eteran, of 64 guns, was then waiting a wind to proceed to Ja maica. The Veteran was separated from the home ward-bound Jamaica Fleet arrived some weeks since. The Caermarthen, one of the Ships which was supposed to have foundered, has arrived at Ber 'Tricia. The Tourterelle, with one, Transport, having part of the Royal Fusileers on board, from the Ra., hamas for England, was at Bermuda refitting, having sustained some damage in a gale which separated her from the other Transports. Letters from Hallifax mention, that on the 26th 1 ult. the Leopard, of so guns, bearing the Flab o f AdMiral BERKELEY, Cesar, of 80, Ville d e Ald an ,. 1 of 44, Me/ampus, of 36, and -Halifax, Bermuda, India, and Busy, each of 1 8 guns, were lying there. • The Ccesar had nearly repaired the damage she sustained in the hurricane off the American Coast. Two American Bomb-vessels and two Gun- Boats have been sent from New York up the Mis sissippi, to . a6t in the expe&ed war against the Spaniards. There are Letters from Savannah, in Georgia, to the t3th O&. which bring an account of a tremen dous hurricane, on the Bth O&. which had nearly destroyed all the crops of cotton and rice in that State.

From the Master of a Vessel, lately arrived from the North Sea, we are informed, that for the last fortnight past there has been a succession of storms of wind from the Westward ; to this only is to be attributed the non-arrival of the Packets.

A set of Hindoos, known by the name of Ku beerpunthee from Kuber, the Poet, are extending with uncommon rapidity in Hindostan. They arc considered as the Quakers of India, from the sim plicity of their manners and the plainness of their dress. They were persecuted by TipPoo SAIB, and by the late MADAJEE SCINDIA, to which, probably, their present popularity is ascribable. They hay v now established periodical assemblies in all parts of India. They profess religious tolerance, the purest morality, and benevolence. Administration have gained a considerable addi don of .Parliamentary strength by the new returns for Counties, both in England and Ireland. The following Epitaph was composed some years ago by Mr. JOHN GRAY, Who died on the ?.d at Banchor, in Badenock. He was some time Mes senger at Arms, and was much respeEled.
