ROTTEN DAM, OCT. 20.--The first action 'with the Prussian's has been described as, follows :—On the 9th inst. Count TAITENzIEN, with 9000 men, hicluding 3000-S;l:mns, was attacked boyond Kro nach, by the Grand Duke of Berg, and defeated with gi-eat loss. The French made a number of prison rs. . . • All the letters express 'their astonishment at the rapid progress of the Frendh, who have advanced so far in so short a space of time ; for while the French are 2t Gerau, the left wing of the Prussians has fallen back considerably. The day the Ernpe rorjett BaAerg, he, ordered•_a very close inspection t be made in the Army, and that the sick . and dis abled should be left at the depots. With respea to baggage, even the Officers were scarcely per ; mitted to have a wallet. Each soldier was pro vided with fifty ball cartridges, and was ordered to have two pair of shoes in his knal sack ; it was afthe same 'time /provided, that 'the Army should ready to march within an hour after.receiving, -their orders. BAMBERG, OCT. 13.—The French Army, com manded by the Emperor in person, is marching with all speed through the. plains of Saxony against the Prussians - . Qn the Bth the Army began "-to move from all their cantonments. The left wing, con- Oting of the corps under Marshals LEFEBVRE . and AUGEREAUy marched through ‘Bischolfsheirkl, O'er the Rohner Mountains, towards Meinung,en, with a- view of proceeding on the following day to Eisenach . and Gotha. On the stly,and 9th they ex perienced very little opposition. The centre, under Marshals' the Prince or PONTE CORY() and DAVOUST, took the route for Coburg, Eiifeld, and Schleusin _gen, to second, if necessary, the operations of Au- GEREAu against Meinungen, and were afterwards to advance to Sclinikau, where a part of AUGEREAU'S corps arrived on the i nth. .; Up to thiS period, the tkiriniihes that occurred were of trifling import.— The movements of the right wing were attended with diErent etl'eels. The corps under Marshals NEY and Souvr, having penetrated through Bay- Ten , b,. had an. affair of posts ,ear Hoff, wilere the Prussians had assembled to the number of fotir - thousand men ; they were defeated, and compelled to fall back to Neustadt, near Attila, with the loss of sei-en hundred killed; wounded., and pri soners, together with some cannon. - On the fol lowinz day, the loth, this corps having received a reinforcement from Nanmburgh; under Prince ,outs FE R DIN A ND, another action commenced, which lasted three hours, when the Prussians were compelled to retire, with the loss of two thOnsand pri:soners and all their artillery, consisting of twenty eight pieces of cannon. On the tt t h the right wing -lit the Army entered Gerau ; and' in the evening a part of it had advanced h.:;yond Attenberg. The Prussiarrs seem as if they wished to concentrate themselves at Weimar. The Centre; -which bad ar iired at CobUrg, continued to advance with rapidity, andmir the t ttli a part of it, at least, was at-Arm stedt, three wiles from Erfurth. In the mean while, -we are.. assured that his Imperial Majesty's head quarters were at D:ppendorf. We are just infortned that the cavalry of the right wing, tinder the Grand Duke of Cleves, is at Rotha; only a tew miles from Leipsie. • DuE—z tiainburgh, 3 Gotten!sufgh, Duplin, 5 Waterford.

Wa have this day resumed our ExtraEts from the Foreign Papeis which arrived on Tuesday night.— The Rep Cots presented' by TALLEYRAND t 9 BONA rARTE, Tespec'iling the differences subsisting with Prussia, are, we believe, unparalleled in. Diplomatic History. After the repeated insults. vPhich hive been heaped by BONAPAR,TEppon the Kzxs of .15ii.USSIA— after all the humiliations which he has :been..eoth pelled to undergo--:after the important territorial cessions which he has been forced to make.to the vassals of France, it required all the effrontery of BONAPARTE to declare publicly to the• world, that he had not even the slightest knowledge of the .grounds of the KING of PRUSSIA'S diSSa!lS iaaioll; that Prussia was aduated only by motives of aggrandisement, while France, without having any, ambitious projecis, was only anxious to secure the independence of the Hanseatic Towns against the •overwhelming power of Prussia. There is some . - thing wholly unaccountable in the Note prse:lt...d by M. KNOBLESI)ORP On the 12th Septemb.:r, in which he states, that the 'motives which 'induced the KING Of PRUSSIA to arni %.vcre-the &Area 01 a plc), of the Enemies Of France and Prussia, - who: were jealous of the intimacy which subsisted between them. We can hardly bring ourselves to believe that the Prussian Minister could use such language;' but if. he did, he certainly was not a fit man 'to" be en trusted with _the interests of Prussia at such a pe riod. With respea to the Military details, they are so confused, that we can add little to the general observations which we made upon them. We col lea, hOwever, from the different accounts, that the Prussian Army was endeavouring to effeEt its, re treat to Magdeburgh ; but whether the retreat was made 'with :order, or whether it was a complete 'flight, we have yet no certain information. If ,it was the latter, we fear there is little hope that they . will be able to collea again so as to wake a stand against the French. It is stated that General,r4- VOUST'§Corps.has pushed on towards Dessau. The French will place themselves between the Prussian Army and Berlin, and will not only be able - to get possession of that Capital, but to prevent a junaion between the Russians and Prussians, unless the for mer are strong enough to engage the French singly. If, however, it should appear, as we hope it will, that though the Prussians were defeated, they were able to effea their retreat with order, and' to form, a June. tion with the troops that wore advancing from dif ferent parts of the Prussian dominions, to join the main Army, then the l'rench Army, by pushing forward towards Berlin, will be exposed to consider able danger. But BONAPARTE, though his.plans have been formed with judgment 'and executed with skill, has always trusted a great deal to chance ; or; aq be terms it', to his fortune ; and it is probable that by making this rapid and unexpeaed march .to,. wards the Prussian Capital, he relies upon. its. producing an immediate etfea upon the ,K,iNG Of Pitt:ssiA, and that the Battle of Auerstadt, like the battle of Austerlitz, will be followed tip by an immediate Peace, because„ as a. military movement, if the War were to, continue, thotgh brilliant, it would certainly be Most dangerous. It was indeed very , currently reported yesterday, that a Peace bad been concluded - between Prussia and France, and it *as even said that the latter was to be-put in pos- session of- the important Fortress of Alagdeburgh, until the'stipulations of the . Treaty were carried into effect; but if BoNtii , Ait# once gnt possession of it, lie would no wore restore it to Pr‘ssia than he will Brannau to Austria. It does not appear that there was any authority for this report. IT has been strongly reported that Buenos Ayres has been retaken by the Spaniards. We kupw Pot, upon what grounds this report is founded, and we have reason to hope that measures have been taken to secure our possession of that valuable Settlement. The report probably arises from Ministers having ordered an embargo to be laid at the Custom-house on all Ships bound to that place. . . _ Yesterday, about twelve o'clock:, their .11 . 1A.is't TIES and the PRINCESSES arrived at the QUEEN'S Palace from NV in dso r.

The :idiot' was very close, and continued only 35 minutes;.-12 Gan-boats, each mounting a 24 - pounder, and *carrying 100 men, formed a line to proteCt the Pomona against the fire of our Fri gates„- ..cllored in three and a half tinhorns water, and within pistol-shot of a Castle mounting sixteen 34-pounders, and keeping up a heavy fire : ;three of the Gun-boats were blown up, six sunk, and the remaining three were diiVen ashore among the breakers, when . the Pomona struck, and was taken possesion of by the First Lieutenant, PARISH. The Castle now began tiring red-hot shot, by which the Arethusa was set on fire ; the linuies, however, were soon extinguished by the aaiviiyof the Officers (Lieutenants EeIGM N and GatiTyrns) command ing on the main -deck., Shortly after Wards a dread ful explosion took plaee within the Castle, and their tire ceased. - 'Capt. BRISBANE 'was slightly wounded. Lieutenant PARISH was unhurt. We are sorry to, add, that the Pomona had just landed all the specie on board ; a quantity of plate,- and various kinds of merchandize, however, • remained_ on board, to remunerate the gallant exertions of the vialors.--. The Admiral and Governor had left the Pomona, as they supposed, in perfeCt safety, about ten mi nutes before our Frigates hove in sight.

Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, in_ his Address to the :Freeholder's of Middlesex, declares; that .he would " tv illingly . be, instruineiital in the rescue of his' Country at`the certain expense of his' life and for - tithe' But he also declares, that " he will not fUriikh, 'nor consent - to the furnishing of a .Fingle.: carriage" tOconVey any of them to the place or eleaion.' And what are the merits of Sir FRANCIS, BURDETT, that he should expect the Freeholders to • travel from one end of the County to the other,, in, order to give hitt power to disturb the Representa tive Council of the Nation by violent harangues, that would better become the midnight orgies, of a Tavern, or. the revoltitionary, AsSemblies of .4ince, before 'it • sunk under a military usurpation that : 4ms. alnifiqt fiVthe force of terror put an end to freedom of thinking as well as speaking ? Yet ibis is A si.te :things that would take place in this Country Finch - principles as those that Sir F4Atiais defends, were to obtain the ascendancy. Kis Lieterknina rt tiOn to let the Freeholders get to the hustings as_ well as they can, proves that, with all his boasting„" •he will not risque his fartune; and as to his tire, if we are to judge of the future by the Bast, that Would be safe enough, and the lives of his opponents, only would •be in danger, from the savage dema, gogues that are likely to prop his rotten cause. So. much for Si; -FRANCIS BURDETT and his readiness ta._ undergo the " certain expellee of iileandfortege." Mr. PAtT“, has very wisely written a . rie dress to the Elevators of Westminster, as that which we lately r.,oyicO:rqtli9r tqp.strongly invited the - criticism Of the ATTORNEX-OENERAL. But' Westminster is one of the very last places for which, this said Mr. PAULI, should attempt to' Obtain a . seat.. He has linked his fortune with Si r FaAN-. ifilAn,ar, who has alluded, in the most con temptupus =lnner, to the condu& of Mr, Fo.x.,— . Mr: Poi.t., therefore„ by his close politicA uniot with Sir FRANCIS,, must be'supposed to entertain . the same opinion of Mr . . 'Fox—,an opinion essen tially different from that of the Eleaors of West minster who so long supported that gentleman, Retire the Eleacirs of Westminster w`ohld manikst the grossest inconsistency if they were to give the . smallest support to Mr. who has intimately conneaed himself with a man who_ reprobates the charaEter of their departed,l4resentative case quently, upon the same 'principle on which the supporters of Mr. Fox in 'Westminster ought to re je& Mr. l'Atrtt, the Freeholders of Addiesex, who wee friends of the late Representative. of the for-: mer place, ought to rejea Sir FRANCIS BURDETT and no man - really reveres the character and -akiproYes of the eondua due.
