th.siroyed on that occasions. 'Phis was re-

The other and mote recent account is of the

MONDAY. Jut.r 6.

Re have received Paris oapers to the 231, and
Dutch to the 211th last. The latter are of later date,
by two days, than those which announced the
battle on the 14h at Friedland ; and yet neitner
tlty nor the Paris papers contain any account
of the action, on the Passarge, subsequent to
the 10th, when the French ■re represented as
being before I leilsberg. This silence does not
justify a positive conclusion, but it cettainly
affords a fair ground to presume that the re-
sult of the battle of Friedland was not so favoora-
hie to the French, as it has been represented.—
It is also worthy of remark, that an account of the
wiling.), of the French appeared in the Haminirgh
Paper of the 20th, and although h 1 Bova:awn
received dispatc•ies fr.irn the army on the 22d and
43d, no further details were published as late as the
24th. No accounts whatever have been received
by Government upon the sehjea; which is the more
strange, is the Admiralty has ordered no less than
eight light vessels to cruise in the Baltic, for the
express pu-pose of colle.ing and transmitting
home the earliest accouats of the events of the war.
IThe Dutch Paper contains an acccuta of the total
fallere of an tr.-main by the British to: ces to retake

Samoa-Ayres, and of the tccapture of M. at(

report of intelligence having reached that place

ture of Monte Video, the English squadron had

bombarded for biz days, and it was supposed it would
surrender. M ich bloodshed had taken place in
these attacks."
