. . . I do not permit myself. to return tb' a subjeA. Which'you have treated, in the letter which you did me the honour, to write to me,. so luminously, and so entirely at heart. God grant the happiest success to the King and to his armies. He is at present the true-champion of universal liberty: Ido not think. that. NAPOLEON, at the present moment, .will corn bat with'the Prussian 'Forces, and those of almostall Enrope united agaidst him without a Coalition; by the imptilsion alone the individual security of each State, fighting in its oyqi cause, which is 'at the same time :the general cause,' but that be will prefer to negotiate, and even to sacrifice, per haps; some Provinces to Prussia,- gaining by that means the time necessary for the, formation of 200,000 conscripts. Rut 'next year, after having carriedinto execution his other views and vast plans,. he will endeavour to make us pay- him with usury, when we expect him least, after' having taken this year to make his preparations. For this reason it is that we should absolutely have Wesel at the peace, and also that the present Grand Duchy of Berg should be compensated for in Anspach. Mayence will -al ways serve, as well as Wesel, for the assembling of considerable bodies of French troops, which will inundate Northern . Germany when we least think of it. ' _ .. •.. " If the Rhine and the . Maine are not decidedly the frontiers of the Northern Confederation, it will' not be in a state to resist any unforeseen aggression ' of the French, who can be always armed. if Frank fort 'with its territory, Hoelst and Konigstein,. do pot become Hessian, with all the intermediate coun try, Hesse will be eaten np, without power of re sistance, sooner or later, .and the situation of Prus-, &ia become very precarioUs. By indemnifying the Primate in Franconia, by means of Bamberg, As- . Chatfenburgh may indemnify Darmstadt. for all its POssessions. on this . side, the Rhine; the entire course, of the LOwer Rhine from .Lahti will then belong to Prussia. ,Any other arrangenient is without con sistence, and war would be at this moment much, preferable. " Pardon me, my dear friend, for my raveries.;. but as you wish to place in, me some confidence, I should .myself culpable if r did not open my' Mind to you without reserve : it is, perhaps, ,the last moment in which we can prevent the total ruin of Europe, by placing some bounds to that devastating torrent which is about to . overvehelni it. Besides, if lie can succeed in forming again a Kingdom of Po land, the universal objet of his present Negotia-. iidn, An Universal monarchy will shortly be creaed. I fear I have already said too' much ; but, if you, permit me, I will not leave you ignorant 6f any thing, persuaded tbat.yOu. not.compromise me. • " CH. L.

IYOUBRIL had not been ratified at Et. Peterslotirgh, continued their manoeuvres for the purpose of raising the inhabitants of Monte rieuTo and the Mouths of. the Cataro. They suc ikc7ded, towards the latter end of the •month, in assembling 9000 armed peasants; to whom were invited nearly all the Russian Troops who were at Corfu, amounting to about 6000 men. The Army, thus composed, was commanded by General • PAN TALOKOFF; haVing tinder his orders General 'Prince WismlNsxy, who had recently arrived at Corfu viith reinforcements. The Enemy; notwithstand ing,l6pt either on board his vessels ; or under the *kills Of Castelnuovo. The general in Chief MAIt- IviONT; did not wish to attack them; but being de= skons heVertheles td meet the ardour of our soldieiS, he made a retrograde march of two days, in the hope of drziwing the enemy from his entrench ments. The blind confidence of the latter induced him to consider this movement as a retreat, in CQh- Aequtnce of which, on the" egth of Septerriber; the 60x0 , - Russians,' and the 9000 peasants, were en damped on the hill of Biliblick. The General in hies' advanced in the morning of, that day with 600*. men, to attack the Enemy. At ten the combat commenced, and after a brisk fire of .rnus ketry, the MontenegLins were chased from theft poiiCon, and they were• seen to retreat from Moun tain to mountain, in order to join the I.ussiaas; who formed a , secand line. The Oerieral in :Chief Ceased the pursuit of theth, and detached two bat . talions to turn the position of the Enemy. On the, morrow, at byeal: of day, we had a new attack, and we this' time waited for the ituss4ms. Our soldierS precipitated themselVes on the Enemy, bayonet in hand. Although both parties were defeated with. great slaughter, the victory was note for an instant doubtful. The Enemy retreated in the greatest dis order, and. left the field of battle covered with "killed and. wounded; those who could not regain Castelnuovo, iled on board Chaloupes sent by the Vessels to receive them. The suburbs of Castel ' nuovo, as well as the provisions collected by the Russians, have become a prey' to the flames. The results of these two days to the' Enemy, *ere 850 killed, of whom 350 were Russians ; More than 1000 Russian and Montenegrins Wounded,, twenty one standards taken, and some hundred of prisoners. The French army had not more than -25 killed, and 130'whunded. The General in Chief has trans 7 mitted to his Majesty the most satisfa&ory ac , taint of the conduct of the troops. in these dif , ferent actions. 140)4 iHZ GAZETTE ROYAL of HOLLAND. " In the present situation of affairs, and after the recent events which, in conjun&ion with those that have passed, fix irrevocably the ascendance of France, every thing gives reason to hope, every thing pre sages happiness to 'the Dutch. They are allied to the most powerful Nation in the universe—their dearest interests unite them to France--,they may partake of her prosperity without ever fearing that she Will abuse her power over them. ' When they see the strength of the tie Which exists _between 'the two States, the dynasties of which are united by the ties : of blood—the Chiefs of which haVe only one mind. and ,one bean., and whose .splendid qualities 4re reco&bizedi not by their e n emies, (this cannot • C:117 THE SUN. SOLEM QUIS DICER?. FALSUM AUDEAI ? LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1806. WE received last night Paris and Dutch Papers, the former to the 28th ult., and the latter to the 2d inst. In the Moniteur, of the . 27th, we find the details of the operations of the French Armies down to the 20th 04.iober. 'lmmediately after the deci sive Battle of the 14th, the French Army was divid ed into several corps, to pursUe the Prussians. ,DA VOUST, Who commanded on the right of the French, adtanced towards Leipsic; which plaCe the French took possession of on the t B tti, a nd a Proclamation was immediately published; calling upon all Merchants; Bankers, and Traders, immediately to give an ac count of all the,Engli§h Property, Money, or Goods, in their possession, the rdiale of which will of course be confiscated. It is probable that it is a part of DAVOUST'S Corps that pushed for Ward to Dessau, and afterwards to .Berlin ; but this fact is not mentioned in the French Bulletin's. It is generally supposed that they entered that Capital on the 24t1) or 25th. BERNAIiOTTE, with the centre of the French Army, advanced - towards Eisleben, but finding that Prince EUGOIE of Wirternburgh was at Halle with ,the Reserve of the Prussian Army, he turned to the :right and attacked him,. The amount of their re speetive force is not Mentioned, but the French are represented as having obtained a completd , viCtory ; and taken 5000 Prisoners. It is very much' to be regretted that the 'Reserve of the Prussian . Aany. should have been so far in the rear Of the Main Army. If it had been near' the' scene of action on the 14th, the result of the battle might have been 'different ; ; or at least it would have been enabled to cover the retreat of the Main • Army, arid thereby have prevented' that total rout which tool: place. On, the left of the Frenc'e. Army Generals, NEY, • SOULT, and MURAT, advanced in three Divisions ; the latter is stated to have defeated . General KALKREUTII, near the village of Greussen. Those Divisions afterwards formed a iinaion, and d'•t7anced by tray of 'Nortithangen to . Magdeburgh ; but. it,does not appear_that they have yet attempted' to infest that place. The - Prussian Army.isrepre sented sometimes as being wholly dispersed, with o'ut arms, ConinianderS, Or confidence •; at other times it is stated, that it is rechiced, to one-thil'cl of its original numbers. Eyed the latter,' we have no doubt, is a most gross exaggeration. We have hi, therto had no accounts of the disastrous events 'of this short campaign, except through the French and Dutch Papers, or the vague and unofficial reports in German Papers : that the Battle of the 14th, and its results; have been, most unfor tunate for the Prussians there Can be no doubt ; but, on the other hand, after the specimens we have had of the accuracy of French Official Details; it would be absurd to plaCe implicit confidence in thern. It is stated in the toth Bulletin, that the KING of PRUSSIA had, after the Battle of the 14th, demanded an Armistice of six_ weeks, to- which BONAPARTE replied, " that he : .could not think of giving an Enemy time to recruit himself after a Victory obtained." It appears, how ever, that the report of an Armistice was circu lated, and some of the Prussian Generals took ad vantage of it to etie6ltheir retreat.. The remainder of the Bulletins are filled with intercepted Letters,' giving a description of the distressed state of the Prussian Army. Whether they are authentic or fabricated, it is impossible for us to ascertain. Yesterday morning early Mr. MILL, a King's Messenger, arrived with dispatches from St. Peters burgh. A Council was held yesterday at Lord Hol,,y.l'cles Office—present, Lord GLIENVILLE, Lord Howicx, Lord SID:MOUTH, Lord H. PETTY, Lord HOLLAND, and Mr. T. GiIENViLLE. The Council sat till near five o'clock., Their deliberations are supposed to have related to the intelligence brought by Mr. MILL from St. Petersbutgb and Mr. KAY 4, from the. Prussian head-quarters . . . The Dukes of KENT and CAMESIDGE left Wind- sor on Monday evening, where they have been on a visit to Their MAJESTIES. Mr. and Mrs. SHERIDIN are .both very ..much indiSpOed; and thelatter alarmingly so, as her dis order is a violent fever. An over-land Dispatch reached the India House yesterday. 'A letter from BoMbay, of the 2d .of June, states, that the Fleet from China, 'consisting; of eleven . Sail,,topther with the Frederick and Duii thn, sailed from thenCe on the 25th of May, under convoy of His Majesty's Ship Terpsiclwre, The Fleet from Bengal, consisting of six Sail, may also be looked for daily,' as they were to leave that place on the 10th of June: One of the Paris Papers (Me Publicists) mentions the arrival Le Gus . sart, one of 'VIM:EA UMEZ'S Squa dron, at Brest, on the 14th ult. This is the Ship which was supposed to - have been lost ,in the hurri cane by which that Squadron was dispersed.

It the Dutch,' I say, look upon these advantages with the" eye of impartiality and of ,fruth, they will see . the destiny of their : Country confirmed. England regards the establishment of their Monarchy arid her call of a ,Prench Prince to govern them, as the greateit obstacle to her maritime superiority—let them cease, iherefore, to listen 'to her agents when these persons proclaim, that the lot of tlieir . State is not fixed, and when they suppose that the state of Holland differs in nothing from an a6tual union with. France. The Dutch have only to employ that - sound judgment with which they are gifted, to perceive, that if France had not wished to secure the independence of Holland, nothing could have prevented her from effeeting that union, and that She would not have bound • herself to the ac ceptance of the offer of the Throne of Holland_ for a French . Prince, although that acceptance was the certain guarantee of an eternal union between the two Nations. " The Throne of Holland will be the eternal in heritance of the dynasty of which,. Louis NA POLEON is the stock The love of his brother, his virtues, and his good qualities, ,are his . guaran tees. L 4 the Dutch leave to the enemies of the Continent, and above all, of their prosperity, to have recourse to ridiculous means of counteraEtion— let them obserVe in all the ideas of the English, the ferment of discOrd with their Country, and let them discover, in the ardour which they evince to create and to propagate them, the secret of their true intentions. No Dutchman can be ignorant that those Islanders have for a long time regarded the fortune of this' Countty as their inheritance—that without having any need to conquer Holland they reckon on subduing,it by means of fomenting its dissentions— :finishing, by destroying its Marine, and invading one after the other its foreign Possessions. " As the consolidation of its Monarchy must theeefore drive the English to despair with respe6t to their Countiy, ,their Government does every thing to - retard it. Those amongst the Dutch who can be desirous that this consolidation should not take place, forget their own interests, and it may be said, immolate themselves with their own hands." • MADRID, OCT: 14.—The Government persists in the measure not to pernif any person to be in terred in the churches ; and they are zealously se conded by the Bishops. , It , has been lately determined, that all the Mili tary, whatever their rank may be, shall wear their hair short. The ,King has 'set the first example in adopting this mode of dress. BAMBERG, OCT. 1g ---We have been occupied in removing ,the grand Prussian magazine at Hoff ever. since the 13th. A great number •of carriages are employed on this occasion. The loss of those ma gazines are immense and irreparable by the Prus 14sian Armies. Yesterday afternoon twenty-eight pieces of cat , non which bad an howitzer were brought here, bad been taken in the affair of the 9th near Neu.:. stadt upon the Orla. To-day they have been trans 7 ported to 'Varscheim. This afternoon 3 or 400 prisoners arrived, Prussians and Saxons : three Co-. lonels are among them, and more prisOners are expeaed. • AUGSBURGH, OCT. 'l6.—The . depots of several .
