We have receivotl Hamburg's Papers to the 16. h
iost. being of a later slate, by one day, than those
from which we gave some extrafts yesterday. Their
con.ents are not important.

Ths Kormiplperg agar, tr, of the 26th March, con-
tains the official report of General flan Ninsces, re-
Uwe to the battle of l'.ytau, of which so many
acconuts are already before the public.
The General states, that the Russ. ,in Army, in
consequence of various detachments made from it,
was only 70,000, while the French army amounted
to 90,000.

The battle, which began about three o'clock in
the afternoon of the 7th February, lasted till mid-
night of the following day ; the loss of the enemy,
says the General, according to their own account,
amounted to 30,000 killed, and 12,000 wo ended,
2,000 were made prisoners, and 12 Eagles taken.
Our loss c,nsists of 12,000 killei, and 7,900
wounded. Fonrteett French Generals were killed
ce wounded. limo et our Generals were wounded,
but most of them so slightly, that they have already
rejoined CA* army. This report is signed by General
ilsessosse.

We stated, yesterday, that the noablorgh Cor.
tespeadrentre of the 14th, contained a bog series of
official papers, including a Report of the late occur-
, encl.§ at Constantinople. After stating the conditions
•f t, have been stipulated by the English, which
been published, " These cooditions," it

bombardment;' was the declaration of

A2miral.—On the 25th of Feb. the Eng-
' .I.mhassador required that a place should be as-
• hint where he might land, in order to carry on
with the Turkish Ministers. The Di-
. 111.ered, that there W3S no place, not a foot of
..d i.l the whole Ottoman Empire, where an Eng-
; I.!.an could land without being exposed to the
1• most danger from the fury of the people; that even
the Seraglio itself, the GRAND Stanton had not
• •3icient power to prated an Englishman from
t. a rage of the blitssultnans. The English still
c roinned, however, ta press the acceptance of
I: conditions they proposed ; but the Grand
• •,miar answered, that he would enter into no ne-
g...:iations while the Enrlish fleet remained oat that
.1: the rordasbelloo. On she 26th of Feforoon't

Admiral Detzwoive sear might: Note bk the
kits fIrfISDI. In this Note no mention was
made of the delivery ttp of the ifteen ships of
war, and of the Dardanelles. The GRAND Sm-
its:to, however, was immov.abbt t and on the gd
of March sent for General Seelsriamt, who
found him on horseback in the fnid.t of his soldiers.
The Grand Signior said to him--." The English
require that I should sent away the French Am-
bassador, and make war against my best friend.—
Write to tin Emperor, that I yesterday received a
letter from him, that I continue—l will continue
firm to my purpose; and that he may rely on me, as
I likewise rely on him." Under these circum-
stances the English fleet found it advilable to re-
tire, and again passed the Dardanelles, and on the
3d of Irlairch :whored two leagues beyond the
Strait, on the side of the old Castle of Asia. The
Report adds, " The Turkish flees, of ten sail of the
line, instantly pursued to the Dardanelles. The
most prudent people were against this step, but the
officers, janizaries, sailors, all contended for the
honour of going on board, and it was impossible
to restrain them. The
Emperor NAPOLEON, at
the first declaration of war, offered the Sut..
TAN in army to cover the Dardanelles and the
Danube.—The PORTS would at first accept only
engineers and Artillery ()dicers ; it has now re-
quired other aid, which is advancing with all speed."
This account appears very improbable, and must
increase the anxiety for the arrival of dispatches
from Admiral Dix/moats. His squadron was
well able to encounter the Turkish Fleet ; and we
cannot conceive that it would have acted the inglo-
rious part assigned to it in the French account, for
such we must consider the article in the Hamburgls
raper.

We hare receieed accounts from Barbadoes,
from the tith February to the 9th last. The out-
ward-bound West India fleet arrived at Barbadoes,
on the '23J Februiry.
