General Budberg, Minister for Foreign affairs,
hastens to communicate to His Excellency the
Ambassador of His Britannic Majesty, the fol-
lowing intelligence which attired last night from
the army:
General Bennigsen, after having fallen back for
the purpose of chuting a position which he judged
better adapted for manoeuvring the troops under
his command, took up a position at Preussisch
Eylau. During filar days successively, I,is rear-
Visard, commanded by Major-General Barclay de
Tolly, had to withstand several vigorous attacks,
and on the 2iith Jan. (Feb. 7) at 3 o'clock is the
afternoons the battle became general throughout the
whole line of the main army. Tile contest was de
sttufkive, and the night came on without the enemy
having been able to gain ground. On the 27th
January (Stli February), early in the morning, the
French renewed the attack, and the an'oti was
contested with great obstinacy In both hides; but
towards the evening, the enemy was repulsed on all
sides, and General Bennigsen remained in possession
of the field of battle.
Bonapatte commanded in person. end under him
Marshals Augerean, D'Avonst, Soult, Ivey, and
Bessiercs, at the head of the Guards, who suff..ted
the most. Our loss is from six to eight thousand
men; whilst that of the enemy is estimated at !torn
twelve to fittcm thousand. We have also taken
twelve stand of colours, and about fifteen hundred
prisoners, among whom there are thirty officers.

I am truly happy to have it in my power to in-
form your Imperial M,ljesty, that the army, the
command of which your Majesty has deigned to
confide to me, has been again vicorions. The
battle which has just taken place has been bloody
and destrn.live. It began on the 26th January
(7th Feb ) at three o'clock in the afternoon, and
lasted until six o'clock in the evening of the 27th
January (Bth Feb.)
Th e enemy was completely defeated; one thousand
prisoners, and twelve stand of colours, which I have
the honour herewith to transmit to your Majesty,
fell into the hands of the conquerors. This day,
Bonaparte attacked me with his best troops, on my
mad on both wings, but be was repulsed and
►eaten on all sides. His guards repeatedly attacked
my centre without the smallest success. Arta a
very brisk fire, they were repulsed at all points, by
the bayonet, and by charges of the cavalry. S 1
columns of infantry, and picked regiments of Cuiras-
siers, were destroyed.
I shall not fail to transmit to your Majesty, as
soon as possible, a detailed account of the memo-
rable battle of Preussich-Eilan.
I think our loss may, perhaps, exceed six thousand
men, and I certainly do not exaggerate, when I
state the loss of the enemy at considerably more than
twelve UK/thud moo.

VICTORY OF EYLAU.

Mr. Vicit, a King's Messenger, arrived at 8
o'clock yesterday morning, at Sir Fa as:cis VIN.
cesT's house, in Arlington-street, from St. Peters-
burgh, with dispatches for G )vernment, fr'm the
Marquis of Douoi.as, our Knister at the Russian
Court. Shortly after the arrival of Mr. Vies:, the
following note was circulated in the ministerial
circles

a A King's Messenger arrived this morning, pith Dispatches
from St. Peter,Mirz, commuMeating the Official Detail? of the
Operations of the lietsian Anny in Prussia. It appears that
the ardent and persevering gallantry of the Russian General
has beta t..ruwite I with signal success:—for several successive
day, lie attacked the French army, always to ad,ontAge, but
Li the last straits, to their &cni.nva defeat, they having on that
occ ninon Inst upwards of TWL:NIY TIIOLNAND MEN,
TWELVE. F.AGLES,and several pinmes of ca nu.iit.
" Great rejoicings have takes place at Patens aura, and the j
city wa,ll!urnmated at the departure of the Menisonger."
A Cabinet Council was irnmedi,uely summoned,
which met about twelve.o'clock, at Viscount How-
ices Office, in Downing-street, and the dispatches
were taken into consideration. The Council sat
about an hoof, and was attended by all the Mem-
bers of the Cabinet, except Earls FI TZWI LI•
and fir emcee, absent from indisposition. The sub-
stance of tne dispatches was sent off by a Messenger
to His. MAJESTY at Windsor; and in the evening,
an Ea frairrolitiara Ganate was published, of which a
copy is given in our preceding columns. The dis-
patelseak as appears by Tice Ga:ette, contain the
Russian Official Report of the general result of the
battle of Prussian Eylau, on the Bth of February.
The Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs, in his
letter to the Marquis of Doun Las, denominates it
A signal yid try ever the French ; and General
BE tA lOSEN, the Rii,sian Commander in Chief, re-
presents his own 1.),s as probably exceeding 6,000
kille I, asst that of the enemy at considerably more
than 12_000 khled and taken prisoners, with 12 stand
of colours. Among the prisoners, amounting to
from WOO to 1,500, are SO °fist .Is. We own, that
we were in some measure prepared for this account.
The French Bulletins, which we gave on Friday
last, admit .s loss of 1000 killed, and 5,700 taken
prisoners, including several General Officers, whilst
not one Russian Officer of distinEtion is said
to have been killed, wounded, or taken prisoner.
('hey also admitted, that though the possession of
Kottionsburg, distant only a few leagues front
Evian, was a favourite and important objet, tl,e
French army, hist-ad of advancing to it, was going
into winter quarters. These circumstances put
tog-ther would not amount to more than a drawn
butte, and therefore we are sot surprised to find
t:tat the testi!' WAS a signal vidory on the part of
the Rus can:. For this glorious success, they ap-
pear to ;rave been indebted to the bayonet. Gene-
ral Betstr users says, ff the enemy were repulsed at
all points, by the bayonet, and by charges of Ca-
valry."— Ills is the sure mode of encountering the
French. They tzcel in manoeuvring, but they shrink
room the bayonet, when wielded by an English or
a Russian arm. Bannioseres letter was written on
the Geld of battle at Eylau, late on the evening of
the Bth, the battle having lasted until 0 o'clock.
The previous anions, which were represented, in the
French accounts, as severe defeats sustained by a
broken umy in its retreat, now appear to have been
attacks on the rear-102rd of the Russians, who
fell back to EylAtt, not from weakness or
defeat, b*t for the purpose of gaining an
advantageous position. The Fifty•eighth
letin is dated Eylau, February the 9th, and states
that on the Eth the Russians retreated, leaving the
French in possession of the Geld of battle. Ills
now appears to be a falsehood, the Russians having
remained in possession of the field on the Bth, and
there being no insinuation that the battle was re-
newed on the day following. The French Bulletin
is dated from Eylau on the 9th, evil titiy for the
purpose of impressing a belief that the result id
the O;h was a victory on the part of the Frsnch
army. Mr. Vice, the bearer of these grateful
tidings, left St. Petersburgls on the I Sth of Fe-
bruary, and sailed from Gattenbiargh on the lst
instant, in the Amity Packet, which was dispatched
for his conveyance. Pt ivate letters, brought by the
Packet, state, that the 12 French standards had
atrived at St. Petersburgh, and were di-played
upon the walls of that city. They add, that, in
the battle of Eylau, the French and Russians
fought body to body, and that the latter never dis-
played MAC enthusiastic courage and energy.

The Dorset packet arrived on Friday at Har-
wich from Husiim. which she left on W.Anrsday
lalt.—She brought neither mail rilr passengers ;
but we und.ritand Government reccaed diapxches

~ . .
Fy ti.is conveyance. Their contents did not trans.
pire, and this silence was probably the cease of a
report on Saturday, that the Russians had been de-
feated with the loss ef .10,uthf, Lined, wuttnded, and
'taken prisoners. We do Nat consider this rumour
botitled to any ciedit. Letters from Dantsie,
dated the 20th nl,. state, that great rejoicings had
taken place there. on account of the •illories ob-
tained ay the Russians over the French, up to the
11th, " that the lett and centre of the Russians were
then posted on the Lakes, and the right extended
beyond the Alle."
The lane, Captlin Rosters, arrived on Friday
from Memel, also brings some additional parti-
culars. She sailed the 19th ult. and for two days
preceding her departure there were public rejoic-
ings at that place for the viaor y of the Bth, which
was stated to be complete in favour of the allied
army. The Jane was tl.e only English vessel ac
Memel, and their l'AusA 41,1 MAJISTILS, with t e r
attendants, honoured the C tptain with a visit, and
p.utook of refreshments on boat d. They app, a: e 1
to be in excellent spirits, and their attendants ex-
pressed the tuilest confidence in the defeat of b.:
French on the Bth.

At the commenceinear or the Westminster
tion, we apprised Mr. PAULL, that he vi.cul .c.e
day rue his connection with Cosner. Toat pre.
diction we have now reason to btlieve is tie: :ar
from its completion. At the late dinner of the
party, at use Crown and Aaclattr, when Mr. PAI LL
made his famous speech against /slarcris \\*EL-
LISLEY, CorRLT took especial care to keep away.
In his Paper o! Saturday last, he condemns Mr.
l'Aucc's Petition, and, with disgusting effrontery.
charaeteris^s 014 Gentleman as an imprudent hot-
heas!ed mcn.—lSat this is riot all. In the Debate
upon the Westminster EleCtion, in the Hou:e of
Commons, on Thursday night, Mr. SltalllDAN ac-
quitted Cooties-, as either principal or accessary,
in the present proceeding. Coarser and his crea-
tures will, no doubt, afE:Et to consider this as a com-
pliment, originating in a with, on the part of Mr.
SHERIDAN, to conciliate Cosner. What ! Mr. SHt•
EDAM seek to conciliate a man whom he !vs stig-
matized as capable of denying any truth, or as-
serting any falsehood ! of whom he has pith-
licly declared, that not a man, woman, or chill,
in Westminster, would believe one word that he
should say. Mr. StIZRIDAN is incapable of truck.
ling to such a charariter, and aCled from a very dif-
ferent motive. Coml., it is well known, has beta
in the habit of representing Mr. PA vt.i. as his pup-
pet, his creature, and himself as the real opponent
of Mr. SHERIDAN in Westminster. Can, then, Mr.
SHCAIDAN be blamed for publicly announcing,
that Curlier has abandoned the cause, that
the shewman has thrown away his puppet, and
the vermin are deserting the sinking vessel ? This
surely is just and fair matter of joy and congratu-
lation to Mr. SHERIDAN and his friends, and of hu-
mliation end disgrace to COISAT and his party.
Had Comsar persevered to the last, Le would
have deserved the praise of consistency, and Mr.
SHERIDAN would not have bad it in his power, by
a satirical compliment, to proclaim him in du
Senate, a Deserter and an Apostate.

A Gnttenburg Mail arrived yesterday, but the
Official Account, in 7.1:: Extraordisary Gazette, di-
vestel its contents of All tli •ir interest.

We have received some French and Dutch Pa-
pers by the American ship Medford, arrived in the
River, from Rotterdam, but they contain no news.

Some interesting particulars, respeCting Sir Homo
PopMAM's Trial. are given in our subsequent co-
lumns. We are restrined from reporting the pro•
ceetiings, until the final decision.

►,

We have received New-York Papers to the V.th
of January. The designs of Bunn still continued
the subjet of speculation.

The three frigates which lately sailed from the
Dutch ports, have been compelled to return to Ga-
ret. Admiral Russet being apprized that the
ships in the terA had shewn s disposition to put to
sea, h.ts sent a Lnlli.ient force to that quarter.

It is expected that all the transports to be em-
ployed in the eapeditiou under General WHI TR-
LOC 1, will be ready in a few days
A letter received by a Merchant in the city from
his bro her at Warsaw, mentions MURAT'S death.
and that the body had been received in that city with
great pomp, ani buried. This is very probable.
The French cay.dry, of which MURAT was the com-
mander. suffered greatly in the battle of Eylau.
