LOS DON,
MONDAY, Mums 2.

We have received letters and papers from Alton*
and Hamburgh to the 16.1 last. and Dutch Papers
to the 21st. The Altona letters state, that subse-
quent to the 2Gth of January another smart aUion
had been fought between the Prussian General
°L3STOCQ and a corps of BIRMADOTTIea army at
Sztum on the Vioula ; in which the latter was de-
feated with the loss ut nine pieces of cannon and
1400 prisoners.
The Russian head-quarters were on the 29th
of January at Giligenburgh; the lett wing of the
army ezten.ted to th.; desert of lahannisburg, and
the right rested • n the toe n of Biscepyce.

BONAPAITI had been at Maly,* and Przasnitz
on the 3d; but to that date there is not any certain
account of tne main bodies of the grand armies
having come in canted. Affairs of posts are
said. however, to have occurred daily.
The Ifiertsdarg Casette, although so immedi-
ately under French influence, admits that the
French have lost 20,000 men in the recent affairs in
Poland and East Prussia.

Several French corps were colleting on the Po-
lira, and rte three Polish legions under ZAJON7ACK,
DONSIOWSIEV, and JOSEPH PONIATOWSKY, Were
ordered to repair to that quarter.
The main body of the French army is concen-
trated within the Bishopric of Flocks.
The si:k and wounded French soldiers in Poland,
on the 27th January, are stated to have amounted
to 53,200 men ; in the hospitals at Guesen alone,
there were upwards of 19,000.

The Russians have acquired further advantages
in Istria, Dalmatia, and Wallachia.
Spaiatro has been carried by assault, and the
French Garrison put to the sword.
Prince Events, the Viceroy of Italy, has, in
consequence, recalled some Italian regiments,
which were on their route to join the French Army
in Poland, and is employed in forming an army
in the neighbourhood of Biescia, to oppose an ex.
petted invasion of the Russians.

We do not find in any of these papers and letters,
a confirmation of the report that the Turks had de.
Glared War against Russia ;—it is, on the contrary,
stated, thdt the armaments at Cnnstanrinnple •ad
been discontinued, although it is more than insinua-
ted that this change arose from a declaration of
Admiral Laws, that their continuance would he re-
garded by him an a& of hostility against Great
Britain.

The Dutch papers state. that a fresh embargo hits
been laid upon all the shipping within she B.iav:an
ports. The last vessel of an expedition intended to
aft in the Bost Indies, under the command of Ge-
neral Daamorss, has sailed from the 'feral. Three
frigates bad previously sailed with several hundred
!pickled travois board i nd. in op* to keep tie,

etpedition as secret as possible, a quantity of al.
litary and other stores bad been some time before
sent off in American bottoms. The Mauritius is
supposed to be its first place of destination. Go.
octal D•cnocts is appointed Corantatlf*bi.Chief.
The insurreition against the French isififirae.
which from various qoarters has beta iaptisestiod
of a very formidable nature, is. iiitakinelsO Dot&
Papers to threaten no serious coaseqespaas. Is is
called a mere burst of passion ; but Ems a Pre.
clamation, issued by Colonel Vow Ustmt, who wag
the Commandant at Eschavege, where the insur-
reCtion was most violent, it appears to hostile's
just ground of alarm and terror to Vie meaty.
A letter from the Hague, upon the authOrity of
accounts from Vienne and Berlin, states. that 4' 80.
NAPAaIa, convinced of the difficulties he would
have to encounter in his progress to the Russian
capital. is devising with TAL.Lcvaawe, measures
1 for btinging about a general peace, and that Baron
ST. VI NCILNT'S jiurney from Vienna to Warsaw is
understood to be i ltitnauly canna:led with tho at.
tainment of that object.?

We have received New York Papers to the lted of
January. The anxiety respelling the motives of
Colonel Butte continued to prevail, and fresh en.
mours and suspicions were hourly propagate&
General EATON having left Philadelphia for Wash- ,
ingtoa, on the lath of January, it was immediately
reported, that he had gone t. meet Colonel Bata
in that quarter. A 1)r. EOLLAIAN. with Mews.
OGDEN, SWAITOUT, and several other persons of
respedahility, had been arrested at New Orleans,
on a charge of being concerned in this extraordinary
enterprise. The Donor was brought to Charles-
town. as a state prisoner, uider care of a guard of
soldiers. Dodor BOLLas an Was one of the persona
who attanrea to release the Marquis Da t• F•v.
aura Iran Magdeburgh. The Doctor moved, oa
the 9th of January, for a Mahan Corps, and was
orslered by the Judge to appear before him the nest
morning s but the Military Commandant refused to
deliver him up to the civil power, General Witt IN..
son's instrodions directing bins to be kept without
communication With any person, tiH the pleasure of
the Pantiles's. shall be known.

The New Yee& Ga:eree, of the 211 d January. states
the following to be the disposition of the British
ships of war, on the American coast, via. the Cesar,
of SO guns; Trivvrp4. 74 ; and Topase, 36, is Lyn.
haven Bay. on the 14th: and BeUsea, of 74 ; ard
Leopard, of 50. in Hampton Roads. The Me/ova;
sailed from the latter station. en the 10th January.

BattuOay Morning a Mail arrived from Mau.
brought to Falmouth is 19 days' from Gibrakar.
by the Lord Corowelfic racket.
A letter from Messina, in Sicily, dated Decetn.
bet 24th, 1806, says—G4 The whole of the force
which sailed from England for this Island, is sop.
tember last, has arrived here in perfed safety.
Our force, which at present amounts to 20.000
men, is stationed principally along the coast, Vona
Melasao to Syracuse ; but the principal part of it is
quartered at Melazzo, and its , neighbputhoed.
Messina is the bead•quarters of the army. The
Guards are stationed at Catania, Augusta. and Sy-
racuse. The French is Calabria made a demon.
stration a few nights ago, of approaching Reggio.
but they have since retired, and it is now suppose/
to have been only a feint."

The CH aticett.ore of the la's!' Excntonaa, we
understand, will bring forward his budget next week.
The Tuesday's and Friday's Mails had not sailed
from Harwich on Saturday evening, the wind being
adverse.
