On the 15th rO,OOO men will come for a night to Wizen ; and a camp will be formed at Bietiebuttel. • A private letter from Hamburgh says—. There was a short.period, and a very alarm ing one it was, when the French troops' were eX - peded at Hamburgh. They had commenced their march for that purpose ; - but they crossed to ' the left - of the Elbe. , For this favourable a n d fortunate circumstance. the - city is supposed to be indebted to the'sttgestiOns Of the French Minister; and in consequence of that opinion, the Senate de clared Us intention to present him with a service of plate for thirty-six persons. Ham burgh has at present a visit or in the braVe General BLUCHER : the inhabitants appear, to be proud .cif the circumstance.. It 'is impossible 'view such a man without those' emotiona which lierofsm• mu s t ever . inspir e ; ,add more particularly when it is accoMpanied With ,circumstances, .and - displayed -in - situations; which 'give. it a pectriiar lustre. He is here, with two sons, a grandson, „pad-an • Aide-de-Camp. - He is very comanuaica, . rive on the affairs of the short campaign, whose general gloom he contrived to illomine - by 'one fright ray of glory.. He aolinowlelgesthat,he had bean •treated by the French Commanders with 'great iinlitenesS but he at .the same time has cona plitined ,to M. 13oustENNE, the French Minister at' Hamburgh, that the terms of the capitulation had 4344 -biazze c -11r stated, in.the Public Papers. The General said, he did not promise the citizens of Lu-. becl ,that the town should be spared ;. but that if the I'i - each would respell; its neutrality, it would be spared. " The Duke of BauNswrcK had; in his dying inommts, expressed a wish that his remains should be conveyed to his capital, to be interred among ;his ancestors : on this bent , mentioned to Gene ral BLUCHER, he declared it to be a matter _of per feet indifference to hiMself in what place hisbedy should moulder into dost—rwhether in an heat. of the, slain, on the field of . battle ; or in the tomb of his ancestors. " Gem BLUCHaIt gives a most affeaing account of tlle state of his troops ; he says, that. he latterly lost forty men a day by hunger and fatigue alone, and that it frequently happened, while he was en couraging- his brave companions to support the fatigue, and other painful distresses of their situa tion, that soma of them would hold out their bands to him in agonizing silence, being unable to articulate a word from extreme weakness: After liaving given a very striking picture of the horror he bad lately witnessed, he added with .a smile the fol lowing maxim; dictated by the natural prejudice of a veteran soldier—' that mole die by the vibes of peace than the confliels of war." . 1 3 1ZiV;IT.E CORRESPONDENCE. BREMEN, Nov. rr. Anvicas; received this morning, gite us every i2.tson to expeEt the French or DutCh troops will be . . here in a few days on'purpose to get: hold of the English property,.which, I am told, is not so con siderable as might have been. expeeted. We have been informed some days agd, that two Battalions of French Infantry, and some Squadrons of Cavalry, are in .The suburbs of Hamburgh, but as yet we sate no accounts of their taking possession of the City. Perhaps large sums of ,money may avert the threatening storms which are at this moment holier.; ing over our political 'horizon, and procure a tempo iary reprieve ; but it is the general opinion, and existing' circumstances leave - little room to doubt of it, that the French will not only take possession of the Hanse Towns, but also- compel ~ t he Danes to shut up ,the Sound. You are naturally apprised' that they have taken .possession of Lubeck, and seized 7000 lasts of rye, which were deposited there for the use of the German'Armies but.this, they say, was a case of necessity, because General BLUCHER had forcibly entered that city before with an inte:ltion to defend himself in it. There are so many reports in circulation at pre- sent abort the atta:k which was made upon BLtr f CHER, and the circumstances of his resistance, that I cannot'presurne to give you any just statement of the business; however, all accounts agree that both parties fought with great obstinacy for some time in the streets, but the French, being so superior in point of numer, are saidnt last to have routed the. Prussians entirely, and 'to have made 6000 prisoner BLUCHER, with the remainder of 'his army, is thought by some to have taken the routoo Gluck stadt, in hopes of being able to ship.them off there; others, that he fled to Holstein ; and,. I have just this moment been informed, that his whole corps„ consisting of 15,000 men, had been obliged to sur render themselves prisoners of war, but that he him-*. self had found means to escape with a few partiCular friends. Si„ce writing the above, I have it from unques tionable authority, that the Dutch troops march into this city on Saturday next, the 15th inst. connuand of Gen. DARNDELS, has taken possession of . the Duchy of Oldenburgh, and that we expe& to share the same fate to-morrow, The Elsfleeth Customhouse, on the Weser, was seized upon this morning, and the following Eng lish Ships, that were lying at Bracke, very provi dentially eseaped,.the. tide fortunately happening to flow at an early hour. The Vess:els are—the Ocean, FOSTER; from Hull ; FOSTER, from New castle ; MAYEs, 'from Leith ; and' the Wit.. hunt, BOYES,frarn Hull. It is not as yet knoWn that they are perfe6tly out of danger, as the wind was very unfavourable ; but if they can reach Bre merlehe, I am told there , are - two Cutter-brigs ready to take them under - proteelion. 7: FOsTert, from Newcastle, is certainly arrived safe , at Giesen-, ,dorf; and, if the others have not -run aground, it IS'thought 'they are also safe. ! : h is said, in letters from Gotha, that the Aus' • trian army, to the amount of 140,000, under the command of the Archduke CLIARLEi, had advanced into Voigtland, and Saxe-Altenburgh.

SOLiglA QVIS DICS , S; PALsuM AuvlAT 4,0 N D N,-.• FRIDAY, NOVEMBER eB, We haye this day resumed the itelanclioly task of submitting to our Readers further details from the liamburgh. Nails which arrived yesterday.' The predidions contained in the last Bulletins have been but too fatally verified.. Not 'only 'the whole of the Prussian Army which was eniagedin the Battle of Auerstadt; but the whole Of the :Reserve, under Prince EUGENE of Wirtemburgh, and indeed all the Troops that were on this side of the Oder, have been captured. We did entertain a hope that the Corps of Prince ELGENa had effeaed its retreat across the Oder, because we had heard no account of it since the battle of the . 17th of October, at Halle ; but our hopes have not been realized ; •for A appears that Prince EUGENE'S Corps was placed un der the command of General BLUCHER, atid was compelled to surrender on the 7th oust. near Rat kau. The retreat of G enera l BLUCHER appears to have been concluded with uncommon skill, under the most discouraging 'and' distressing circumstances...—; His - first objeat, of course, was to effete his retreat across the Oder ; but the 'French, who had, previous to the Battle of Auerstadt, turned the left of the Prussian Army, advanced with such extraordinary rapidity, and in such force, as to render it impossi ble for him to accomplish that objeCt. He then re solved to . take an oppOSite course, and to draw the French pivisions that were in pursuit of him as far from the Oder as possible,iu order to give time to such Corps as might be fortunate enough to get across that river to form a jun&ion with the Russians.-... For the manner in which this gallant and able Offi cerexecuted this plan we must refer to his own letter, which 'contains a distin& and plain account of the whole of his proceedings . up to the time of his capi tulation,: The interesting narrative given by Prince HOHENLOHE to His Prussian Majesty, of the events which led to the Capitulation of the Division of the •.Army under his, command, will also be found in our preceding columns. It appears from a passage in the Princes Letter, that he attributes the misfortune which hefel his Army to the rejeetion of thesadvice which he had previously given. We know not what was the plan of operations which Prince HOHENLOHE recommended, but it could not have been followed by more disastrous consequences than those which at. tended the plan which was a&ed upon, The accounts WhiCh we received some days, ago of the surrender . of Magdebargh - are confirmed. Hameln, which is a fortress of immense strength, has also surren dered. . Magdeburgh the French found treasure - to. the ,amount of upwards of • six millions Ster ling, be:sides other property . 'of immense value.---- A. part of the French Army has ad- Vinced to:POsen, and a Proclamation . has been pub, fished " . a - Polish 'Officer in BONAPARTE'S ser vice (General PomPaousx.y), from which it clear 'ly appears that 130NAPARTE intends to re-establish Poland as a Kingdom, and JEROME 'will most pro bably to be the King ; but, according to other ac counts, .KOSCIUSKO is likely to be elevated to, that dignity, We understand that accounts have been received Of BERNADOTTE having entered Ham burgh. Considerable apprehensions are entertain ed in Denmark on account of the vicinity of the. French e , and probably not without reason ; for it . is by no means unlikely that BotiArAitra [nay be disposed to make an attempt taget possession of the Danish Fleet,' and-to accomplish his favourite objet of - shutting the Sinnd against the English. / , ' if,. • IV r, IV E .

We received yesterday N'ew-York Papers to the 2601 ult. but ti,ey contain no news of any interest. Yesterday morning the Dukes of Yoa . 4 and KENT arrived at Windsor. After transadingbusiness with His MAJESTY, they rode with the KING, Princesses AbauSTA, SOPHIA, and AMELIA ; attended by Lady BULKELEY, General FITZROY, Col. TAYLOR, and. the Hen.

A private letter from Dublin of the 84th says, " lam sorry to itilmm you, that those distrids in the North-west of, this country, diittirbed by the Threshers, are not yet tranquillized, but, on the contrary, have asiumed a tie* and More serious as , ped. The avidisition of arms appears now to be a principal object of the inStitgents, and they have lately attacked several („.4entlemen's houses with this view: It is the intention Of Government to call out the Yeomanry force of the entire province of Con- - naught; and adjoining counties on the North-west, the nibre etredually to suppress these outrages." THE THEATRE.—The Tragedy of Venice Pre- Aerv' d- was represented last night at Drury-lane Theatre for the ptirpise of introducing a new Per former in the character of Pierre. We have not heard the name of this candidate for public favour. He is a young man—his face and, figure are good, his voice is clear, firm, and extensive, and- his ges ture, if not graceful: or impressive, was not awk ward. He seemed fully to understand the charac ter, but was altogether, too tame and inert, though at times he burst forth in such' a manner as to pro mise much when he has' more experience. The Audience in general received him with their usual liberality, but 'it seemed evident that there• were about half a dozen persons in the Theatre a&uated by prejudice against him, particularly one persevering coxcomb in the Pit. Mr. H. SIDDONS appeared to: much greater advantage in Allier than, on' any' former "occasion, and supported the part with great judgment and feeling. Mrs. POWELL displayed great emotion and energy in Behtider4. Last week, at a Court of Justice in Glasgow, a person. was convicted of buying ; four gallons of spirits without a permit, and fined in 'l5Ol. The illicit Dis tiller was also convicted, and being- unable to pay the penalty attached to him, was sent to prison. At the same time the keeper of the Public Weigh housein Glasgow was fined 501. fir having six casks . of smuggled spirits in hi s custo d y; an d the spirits, with the horse and curs that conveyed.thein, were cdademned.—These couVitlions 'proceeded on an AEt oflast Session of Parlidrnent, subje&ing not on ly the spirit-dealers, but every private person who receives abuve two gallons of spirits into his pos session without a permit, or who is concerned in sending or removing such spirits, to a penalty of 2001. The enormous increase of illicit distillation, so injurious to the Country in the present state of the Revenue, loudly called for such a law and it is very much to the credit of Collector CORBETT, of GlaSpw, as well as to the Magistrates 9f that Dis triti-,' that through their ,seal it 1)1)4 begun to lake 4n , 'E 1 3 fiRL1.4.1.1 fit'S MENni# ll 9 * ltETUlt4lb r Btrit6tis oe AugßcAru, Atttzst!f, &c.—lipn.

The Chair was taken by Capt„Mottlitur MAXWELL. • When the cloth was rep-loved, the following ta:t ; were given :—" The Kbto," • with three tinie4 three."—" The QUEEN and ROYAL FAMILY."— ":I'4e PRINCE of NVALES."- , .-illi these toasts, but particularly the iirst . ,,were received with gene: no svlause.—" The immortal Memory of Mr. Fox."--:, The last toast %Vas 'received with a respthtbl —". The worthy and ind ep endent Eleecors of Westminster."--Capt. MAXWELL, with a near arid pertinent speech, then proposed " The Healths of Mr. SHERIDAN and Sir SAMUEL Hoop."—After the enthusiasm arising from the last toast had. subsided, M. ,SULRIPAN arose to address the company. He told them, that though he had exhausted ail his powers pf language upon several occasions in testi fying . his thanks to the Electors, his feelings of gratitude could never be exhausted. He ob ► served, that etiquette, on account of his rank ii Privy Councillor, might justify him taking the lead of his Colleague in addressing the Meeting, but that be was proud in following that noble Colleague as.a man, who had done so much for his Country.—He took blame to himself for his negligence at the be . ginning of the contest, which otherwise, he said, would have been so decidedly against his adversary ; that he must have abandoned the ground in desp tar fat an early period. Of. the gallant comrades cl his . Colleague he spoke with the highest respeEt, aid manifested his deep regard for the Naval Service; /..; the chief prop of Eritish bonour.—He spoke with 'merited', contempt of the low slanders, tht 'falsehoods, and pitiful abuse employed by his, oppO- Dents, and congraiulFted his friends and himself that they had never retorted such fnul assaults, but had al .-,ays set an example ofgoud Immunr and geh- , ' tlemanly Manners,. . The mob, h e sa id, as well as more. good temper had diSplayed much More wit and humbur than the higher iriends of his adver... sary 1-re. then adverted to the -state of the guar s . try, which he said demanded cordial unanimity on the part of the people in general., as well as tht. Electors of Westminster, as there vas a mail an th_• continent so high on the Poll, that there was little hope of scrutinizing- his title or depriving keen of 2i sear.—" What," said Ile, " must .be thought of those men who tell you that the. people .Should rise and resist the payment of taxes tieceS4arY to defend the Country against such a formidable Enemy. Thu happy state of Society in this country, whether con sidered in reference to any other on the Continent, or to its own positiVe advantages; was worth de fending. MOre,real worth, more benevolence, more genuine liberty was to be fourid here than in any part of the earth. Ail animnsities, eleEtioneering and political, should be buried in a general zeal for the lite of the State. Yu such a situation, the coun. try has a right to demand every exertiop, and even the hazard of our own lives 'for its su2port." therefore exhorted all to rally round the good Con. stitution bequeathed by our ancestors. This ,speech was received with loud and continued acclamations. Sir SAMUEL Hoori followed with, a short but pithy speech to the same purpose, which was much applauded. SantoAx gave " Lord GRENVILLE, and Success to His MAJESTY'S Councils," with. three times three. This toast received a cordial wel come. Then followed " The Duke of Yon& and the Army."—The rest of the day, enlivened by leyal and patriotic songs, seas devoted to sociality. . SMITHFIELD MARKET, Nov. z 3.
