LQND9N, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1806. NONE of the Hamburgh -Meals' had arrived when this Paper was put to. Press ; but Letters have been ,eceived .from Holland, dated the 14th. These Letters state, that Prince. HOHENLOHE- had had - a very severe aE.tion with the Frenth,.in'Which he was Intimately defeated, with the loss of a considerable part of his 'artillery .but that he had succeeded in gaining the right 'bank of the Oder NV 411 the princi, yal part of hiS army. It is aISO said, that licar4.ltTE, bad given orders for calling in the different. detachments of hiS 'arniV, for the purpose of concentrating his whole force •in the neighbour hood of. Berlin. This intelligence stands upon no better' authority than those • reports which ,we have received for, several days ; but we do not think it improbable. Although we have not yet re ceived any authentic accounts Of the progress of the Russian Army; yet there can be no doubt that a very considerable portion „of it has advanced far enough to form a jundion with any part of the Prussian Army that may hare been able to effe& its retr'eat across the Oder. The approach of such a force would of course render it absolutely necessary for IiONA- I'ARTE to concentrate his Army, whether he meant to cross the Oder for the purpose of giving thetp battle, or of waiting for their attack in the neigh bourhood of Berlin. There have been so many concurrent accounts, from different quarters, of a . . battle having taken place between / the Prussians and the Vrench, that we are strongly inclined to believe it and if it lead ended, ns some of the reports, state, in the capture of ,Prince HOHENLOHE and the whole of his Army, there can be little doubt that BONAPARTE would have takcp tood care to nave forwarded the intelligence to this Country The Batteries at Boulogne would very soon have announced so decisive a viaory., We therefore ' think it highly probable, as stated in the Letters to c..hich we have alluded, that Prince HOHENLOHE has e;'eqAed his retreat, although with considerable loss . And the order which BoNA.pARTE. is said to have given for concentrating his Army in the neighbour hood of Berlin, may account for the report which reached this Country some days ago, of the retreat of the French, because their falling. back upon Ber lin would have the appearance of a retreat. The rumours of the Austrians having advanced into Saxony are still circulated. Tt is said they have taken possei,s:Qu of the important fortress of Koning vein.

Letter from a Passenger in the Tran sit, from Smyrna, dated Stangate Creek, Nov. 19, • 1806 :—". We passed through Sir J. T. Ducx woaTtesConvoy on the 30th ult. which, from its ap pearance, must have experienced shocking wea ther. I imagine; shortly atter we passed them, they liad a fair wind through the Gut ; for, about twenty four hours after we passed them, we met with' a strong westerly wind. They would, however, have some risk to run ; for the Gunboats having had such warning in consequence. of their being de tained by contrary winds outside, .besideS three at tempts which they made to get in, that no less than • twenty-five or thirty were colleded at Tarifa, be sides numbers that were .at Algesiras. They'had taken one of our Gen-boats; though not without „much resistance. The Three Sisters, Thomr- SON ; Thetis' Transport, and another Vessel, had arrived at Gibraltar, having parted from the Con voy. A very singular optical phenomenon is recorded as occurring to those who visit the summits of the Chiliau Cordillera Mountains. The figure of the observer is seen refle6ted upon the 'clouds, its head surrounded by co n centr i c c i rc l es Of the pris matic colours, making generally three circular iris', and, at some distance, a fourth arch entirely white. This refleEted figure moves in whatever diredion the person of the observer does ; but what is most remarkable is, that when several persons are to get her, each one sees the phenomenon with reaard to hinself, but cannot perceive it as relating to others. From a list lately published of the persons who died last year in the heptarchy of l'insasck, in Russia, it appears that five of them were t tto years old ; .one 113 ; . .four, 120 ; one, 130 ; and one the amazing age of 150 years. • Sattirday afternoon a man of the name of Hollis undertook, for a wager of ten guineas, to go on foot from Whitechapel.Church to Woodford, in Essex, and back again, in two hours, the distance being fifteen miles. He started at two o'clock, arrived at Woodford seven minutes before three, where he took a - small tumbler of rum and water, when he . . returned on his way back, and arrived at White - chapel Church nine minutes before four o'clock, having'Completed, the whole in one hour and fitly one minutes, being, nine minutes less than the sti puiated time. ' Mr. PAULL made a very unjust complaint against the Public Prints for not giving admission to articles respetain< , hitn and his cause. The truth is, that all' the Newspaper gave much more copious reports of his speeches than of any from his opponent, who 'is justly admired for his powers of eloquence, and who' - can never, litter any thing that, in point of in .telleaual energy, or humour, is not well-entitled to - the attention of readers a s we ll as h earers. B ut Mr. PAULI. is still More indebted to the Public Prints, which he so ungratefully reviled, for the RepOrters - ingeniously contrived to give his speeches in such a trimmer as 'to Make him appear like a i,oleiable Orator, which co* never have been the case if they had' adhered to thp plain ; dull letter of all hiS inflammatory iliggestions hackneyed sen timents, comr: - .14114ace professions, and yolg - ar per sen4ities.

The Chief Baron and Baron GEORGE this day voted at the litings, each of them single votes for Mr. SHAW. I open my letter again to tell you that LATOUCHE . hasformally declined. Rear-Admiral DOUGLAS has officially notified to the Merchants and Ship-owners at Hull, that no more convoys will be granted to the Elbe or Weser until further notice. During the several days of the Norfolk Ele&ion, Mrs. ATKINS, of Ketteringliam, and Miss NEY, of Bracon, traversed round the Castle-hill in a baroUche and four, decorated w ith C o l one l WooDEndtisp's colours, and carrying a purple ban ner,. with the motto " King and Constitution" there on, with a band of music playing before them, inspiring, by their applauses and ges t ures , t h e friends of the Candidate_ whose cause they espous ed, in like manner as they had 'very conspicuously done at the City Ele&ion in favour of Mr. PATTE-, SON. On Monday last two noted girls of — the town were dressed up in similar attire to the above Ladies, and being placed in an open c a rr i age , w i t h coachman and footmen in the same liveries,' were driven round the bill,,and followed . by the shouts of the partizans of Messrs. COKE and WINDHAM.— This caricatura was but of short duration, for pre sently the carriage , was assailed with showers of turnips, potatoes, and stones, and those who were attendant 'thereon precipitately fled—the coach man and footman quitted their posts—the horses were liberated, and the unforkunate girls safely .got out. A running fight between the two parties was continued from the hill to the market-place, where the carriage was literally torn to pieces, and the remnants burned to ashes, amidst the triumph of those whom this exhibition was intended to ridi cule.

After having . returned. due thanks for this civility, the voter,' with the greatest simplicity, requested to know:of " his Honour," whether sueh a thing as a General Election was not at hand ?.

Sir FRANCIS .BURDETT.—" Gentlemen, in lie few obSefvations I shall have to offer to you this day, ' I shall endeavour to make myself (and I treat I shill be more - successful than I have hitherto been) into to the Gentleman near me ; at least more ;o than it appears from what he' said yesterday I fiztl • the good fortune to do. I shoUld wish on every ac count you would listen to him. I should be glad • to know what were the difliculties,what were the ob,. jeaions, if be had any, to those sentiments and'prin ciples which I yesterday advanced ; and I trust and hope yon gill pay that proper attention to your Can &date,' *hen the Gentleman pear me comes -to de- liver his sentiments, which you ought to be pecu liarly anxious to hear, because, as the Eleetion draws near to its conclusion, it would be hard for the Free holders to return a Candidate without being aware on what principles he intended to condud himself. -Gentlemen, it has fallen to. my lot frequently tco notice the aspersions cast en me ley persons in other places, and - it becomes the more•necessary I should do • so, because this is -the only place in which havean opportunity of clearing up any mistake er • misrepresentation:as 'to the motives and principles of my, ecirldud. Gantlet - nen, I 'shalt observe, in the first place, on some remarks in the Morning Papers, under the form of a speech of Lord 'Liu. He is' plea,sed to accuse me of inconsistency, and is order to shew it, he first of all states, that at . the Elec tionoftord Percy forWcstminster I expressed a good opinion of the Administration, and , supported Lord Petty. Gentlemen, it appears to me that'will re quire mereirkenuity than Lord W. Russell possesses, to shew that there is any inconsistency in my now op.. posing the same person I before supported, inasmuch as my present support is in opposition to the interest of Mr. Sheridan. It has been also said by Loyd Wm. Russell, that, [at 'the 'outset of the coalition Administration, I congratulated the Country on the change which had taken place. UndonbtecilYl did , at the time entertain hopes of some of those amelio rations of the condition of the public which we bad been led to expeEt from - the professions of the Noble Lord and his party; and every body rt - ,lst. be aware that if I had, withoutgiVing'them an oppor tunity even - of laying before the Public their future plans—if I had declared my diSinclination to support them, it would not only, have been contrary to, that feeling of personal regard, which would have made me desirous of yielding them my support; but the public would have said that it was not fair to judge before proof of what their condud would .be. - Gentlemen, if there could be any kricon •sistency in having given credit to the pity to which Lord• William Russell belongs, it is extraordi nary that it should come from one of them as an ac cusation against 'me, and as a proof of inconsistency, that I did-not entertain hopes and higher opinions of them than their subsequent condua appeared to havedeserved. Gentlemen, Lord Wm. Russell. be like.a person on board a ship, who, passing every object himself, supposes every objed to be in mo tion ; but he and you will always f in d th a t it i s n ot mysef who am in motion, but those persons with . whom it.has b een ' m y goo d f ortune at times to aCt, 'and that I remain stationary when they ate ehang-.• ing their places. Gentlemen, the h•igla opinion I entertained of Mr. Fox ; the great and tranicen dant abilities of that eminent Stitesman a atiat The many amiable private qualities he possesses; were certainly of such. a 'nature as perhaps to induce met to pass over his- - politicalefatilts,.•and- to make all those who, witnessed his talents and abilities admire them, and those who enjoyed the- happiness of his society,' to love and respea him. In paying this, tri. ! bute the inernory•of_Mr. Fog, Funist sayithat he . , was the only' .person. of the. party on wheal all my hopes :were founded.' I confess, that when he came into power= I looked forward to - • : some of those schemes of national reform which his great mind was capable of producing—l looked for some ame lioration of the condition of the people as eagerly as the' traveller passing-the sandy desert looks for the moistening drops of Heaven. But, Gentlemen, it would be curious indeed, if, after a considerable time had elapsed without any of those circumstances of reform being submitted to the public, without any hint at those pledges, without any allusion to those promises which we had a right to expeM . . to see -ful filled—l say, 'after a considerabll time had elapsed without atThrding the least hope to the Country, I should, I think, have carried my complacence too far, if I had continued to entertain any hopes my= self; or if I had attempted in any, way to have de luded the people with false expeditions. Gen tlemen, it has been represented also in the Public Papers as part of the speech of Mr. Whitbread— the account may be incorrect, but 1 am bound to, consider' it us the expression of his senti ments—k_has been stated that' he has repre sented me as a 'person trying to raise an impro per and senseless clamour (that is his expression) against all taxes and levies for the good of the pub lic. This is so contrary to ail I have ever upheld, that it scarcely deserves a reply. I have unifermly stated, that' so far from objeating to the levy oftaxes, fairly, properly, and constitutionally applied to the service of the public —so tar from having ever con sidered them, when so properly applied, and in their .calculation and expenditure directed to the public benefit, I have likened them to those clouds which are drawn from the ocean bv'the power of the sun, and afterwards- fall on the earth in 'dews and fruit ful showers. But when taxes are . turned to the purposes of corruptiou, they are like a torrent which devastates and lays waste wherever it passes. It is to the misapplication of the taxis that-I have ob. jeded. I have stated instances of the tniapplica tion of them, particularly at this time, so dangerous to the liberties of the country. Having, as I conceive, been misunderstood on these few points,l shall take ;my leave this day by observing, that Mr. Sheridan, at 'some public meeting, seems to countenance the same - sort of - misrepresentation, and‘ talks of me as a person endeavouring to excite public odium on the Government ; which calls for necessary sacrifices on - the part of the Public. He says, he is .willing to make. htS 'share of sacrifices but this was said after his eleftion was secured. He says, he is willing to t ake part oldie public odium. might have 'add- . 26:1 -196 z 646
