LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1806. it WE 'have received some Paris Papers, but they are not of so, late a date as those which arrived on Monday last : they, however, enable us to lay be fore our-Readers the Twenty-eighth and Twenty ninth Bulletins of the French Army. The former is very unimportant, but the latter is a most curious produaion. After.giving an account 'of the storm ing of Lubeck, and the subsequent surrender 'of the Corps under the command of General BLUCHER, it suddenly 'proce4ds to make a violent attack upon the English Newspapers, for inserting false in telligence, particularly respeEting , the state of 'lta ly. We are told that the French Army in Italy amounts to 180,000 men (a few days . ago. it 'was stated to amount to 200,000) ; that King Josvn the i absolute Master of the Two Calabrias; and - that :all opposition has ceased, except by a few Galley Slaves, armed and trained by the infamous Sir SM . NEY SMITH, &C. &c. •We can very - easily accOunt ~ for the coarse inveaives which are lavished upon . ,that gallant Officer ; and, accustomed as we haVe been to the disgraceful scurrility which charac terize theTrFrench State Papers, we confess we' were not surprised at the gross and unprovoked at tack' whiCh follows upon \ the QUEEN of NAPLEs.-:- It would be an insult to our ReaderS if we were to make any comments upon this part .of the Belle tin.. These Papers contain some letters which %are stated to have been found upon Prince Lot's FEE- • DINAND and his Aide-de-Camp. We are prevented by want of room from laying them before our - Readers this day. A report was yesterday circulated that a Rattle had been fought near Posen between the Russians and the French, under the Command of General DAVOUST, in which, the latter had been complete ly defeated. This report rests upon the authori ty of a Mr. SCHULTZ, who arrived' yesterday from the Elbe ; but we fear it is not entitled to much credit. If the 60,000 Russians, which are stated in the French Papers to have 'entered the Prussian territories had continued to advance, they certainly might either have defeated DAVOUST, at Posen, %compelled him to retreat, becaUse his force at the atmo4t clid pot exceed 30,000 men. But we 'are strongly inclined to believe that, upon receiving in telligence of the result of the Battle of Auerstadt, the Russians halted , for further orders. IT was yesterday stated, that a Flag of Truce had arrived from France.' The report was probably cir culated for stock-jobbing purposes, and we believe it produced some t ;fed. 'E contradicted on Tuesday last, from an autho rity on which we had full reason-to rely, the report that it was the intention of Ministers to Sequestrate the. Funded Property of. Foreigners, by way of rc 7 taliation for the violent -measures Which the Enemy has adopted in the Seizure 'Of British Property at Hamburgh. That report has been repeated, and, therefore, we think it necessary again. to assure our. Readers that it was circulated without fbUndation. HIS MAJESTY came to town yesterday from Windsor, and held a Court at - the Queen's PA:ce. At two o'clOck a private. Levee commenced, which, was attended by The Archbishop of Canterbury,' The Lord.Chrucelior. • . The Lotl President of the Council.
