DEFEAT OF THE FRENCH.

Offensive operations have recomtnenced on the banks of the
Elbe, and it will be seen by the dispatches in Tuesday's Ca
ze;te, that victory has once more crowned the efforts of the
Allies. The French General Mona ND, Who, after gaining
some ti 'tiling advantages over TETTENnoRN's Cossacks, had
re-occupied Luneburgh with 3,500, was, on the .Ith lust
surprised at that place by three Russian corps, wounded and
taken prisoner with the whole of his division. It was at
rst hoped that General CARA ST. CYR, who remained at
Bremen, would have experienced the same fate: but. be.
bad been reinforced by General VANDA3ermE; and DA-
VOUST, having dispatched 5.000 men from Magcleburgh,
the Russian Gent-Lai DonNEErtG was, in his turn, coin-
ye'led to retire. Ile cell back to Boitzenburg, on the right
bank of the Elbe, and the French re-entered Luneburgh,
where it is added they had been followed by DAVoUiT with
10,000. troops. The report that this Commander had caused
several dczens of the inhabitants of that place to be shot for
having welcomed the Russians, is not credited. Ilowever,
General Dornberg had issued a proclamation•both in French
and German,. in which he threatened to retaliate on the
French pi isoners in his power, if the Cernian insurgents
were shot when taken by the enemy It was also asserted
that GRENIEtt had been defeated with great loss near
M igeeburgie At Elamburgh, the French party, encouraged
by the advance of their army, began to exert themselves,
and cowardice and treachery united, spread unfounded
ms. Forty-two of the ringleaders, who had secretly cor-
responded with the Trench Generals ever since that city had
been occur ied by the• Russians, were suddenly seized by Col.
TetTENnoaN and sent off to Russia. They were claimed
by the enemy who-tht excited to burn down one of the towns
in their power if they were not restored; but TETTENBORN
declaring that he would retaliate instantly, they desisted.
The Hanseatic legion formed at Lubeck and Ilamburfh is

Messina, Feb. 1-6, 1815.
My Lerd,—l have the honour to inform your Lordship, that since
the attack of the '1 tst of July, the enemy had thrown up new works
at Pietra Nero. and felt such confidence in their protection, that a
convoy of fiftc sail, of armed vessels had asset►bled within a few
days past. to transport to Naples timber and other G6vernment pro-
perty. Conceiving it necessary to destroy this confidence, I sub-
mitted a proposal, which Inning gained your Lordship's sanction, I
proceeded on the nit.lit of the 14th with two divisions of the flotilla,
and four companies of the 7:►tii, under the command of Major Stew-
art. Light and contrary winds prevented the boats arriving until
nearly day-light, when about 159 men, with an anNiliary party o
seamen, tinder the command of Lieutenant Hunte, were landed

formed them he was already a prisoner in the Fleet, but had obtained
a day rule, which he produced. The officers went to the Fleet
son, and found the prisoner's statement to he correct ; they then
gave information that he was in custody at Bow-street, on a cliari,e of
forgery.
Thursday, he underwent an examination, when Mr. Nixon, the
Warden of the Fleet, attended, and claimed him as his prisoner. A
short examination, however, was gone into, and the prisoner was
identified as the man charged with the forgeries ; after which, it was
agreed, that he should be returned into the custody of the Warden,
and a Habeas Corpus moved for in the Court of Common Pleas, for
him to be given up to criminal justice.

MR. ricwroa —Although you have announced your in-
tention not to espouse either part in the pending, discussions,
until sufic•ient information shall have been produced to

lustrate eve!), bearing of the subject, 1 trust you will not
reject communications for or against, when their nature is in
other respects unobjectionable. lam confirmed in that be

lief by the consideration, which cannot fail to strike you

also, that by so doing, you will contribute all in your power

,
to throw light on one of the most interesting and important

questions that have ever demanded the impartial scrutiny j
and deeply weighed judgment of man—a question, which,
although studiously confined by the advocates of monopoly
within the narrow bounds of almost individual interest, is of
so extensive a nature as to affect the welfare, not only of the
United Kingdoms and British India, a population of about
eighty millions, but. perhaps of the whole world, by the
changes it may produce in the condition, manners, customs,
and even reiii.,ion of our Hindustan dependents, and of the
Pagan nations beyond. Confident in your liberality, which'
1 trust, will equally insert the teplies of my opponents'
should any start-aeainst me, I shall endeavour, in this letter
if I an, able, and if not, in succeeding comtnunications, both
by refutation and exposition, to give the view of this mo-
mentous subject, which I think most consonant with the
true interest of all parties, with moral and political justice,
with humanity and religion.
1 shall begin by setting aside the claim of right lately
advanced by the advocates of monopoly, with a degree of
audacity which has happily failed to awe the minds of the ,
people into an unguarded acknowledgment of the justice of
their pretensions. A bold falsehood, asserted with all the so-
lemnity of truth, sometimes passes for it, and acting with all -
its energy, produces double mischief. But when exposed
at its birth, all its baleful influence recoils upon the cause
from which it has sprung. " Let us declare, let us defend,
let us vindicate our dear rights," has been the langmge of
the monopolists at their numerous meetings. What are
those rights ?-LThey are mute, for they cannot explain what
does not exist. But, with the subtlety cf skilful logicians'
defeated in their grand charge, they have recourse to ma-
noeuvres : they endeavour to obtain by perplexing, what
they could not gain by storm.—" It is true that we have no
positive right, beyond the duration of our Charter, to the ad-
vantages of the East India monopoly, or of any other arising
out of it, but we have a claim to the renewal of those rights,
very nearly amounting in itself to a right, and given us by
our labours and sacrifices to improve the possessions entrusted
to our care. When our Charter was granted, our territory, was

PROVINCIALS.

A serlors riot trok place at From, on Friday se:might, in c
quence of a druuken set of colliers endeavouring to obstruct the p ace-
-fficers in the performance of duty. The Earl of Cork, Colonel 11..-
ner, Colonel Jolitf, and Mr. Ireland, being in Frome at the time, al d
on the bench as Justices, endeavoured to enforce their authority ; but
were attacked most furiously by the mob, who rescued their prisoners.
and proceeded to unroof the gaol, which they partly effected. The
Frome cavalry and infantry were called out, who succeeded in securing
six of the ring-leaders, who were strongly escorted to Ikliester gaol,
Colonel Juliff received a violent blow, which cut throa,ll his hat ; Mr.
Ireland, Lord Cork, and Colonel Horner, received several blows.
In consequence of this outrage, the Frome and East Mendip cavalry
have been ordered out on pettuament duty, as these deluded men have
threatened to revisit Frome.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 31, 1813_._

comparatively confined : we have extended it widely ; we have
made war on Princes and Nations, abon,hed Dynasties, and
subjected a hundred Stites : we have spent " our blood and
treasures." ....Whence flowed that blood and those treasures?
You have spent Enklish blood; for you have nut only con-
stantly raised the main strength of your wiry in the United
Kingdoms, but you arc obliged to borrow the services of
25 or 30,000 British regulars, whom you do not even Fay,
to secure your authority.—You have spent English trea-
sures; for if you had not half-ruined yourselves through
your spirit of conquest, that wealth would base circulated
through our land, and you would not have added to our
taxes by the weight of the loans necessary to keep the ves-
sel of your monopoly from foundering. You have thus
spent the blood, and in a peliod of heavy taxation and dif-
ficulties, you have increased the expenses, of that nation,
against whom you are now exerting every nerve to keep
even a partial opening of your trade for ever closed ! You
have " laboured," you tell us, you have made " sacrifices :"
for whom but for yourselves ? Did you toil for the honour or
advantage of England, whose merchants you would now ex-
chide fi ()in the limited profits. not of your labours and sa-
crifices, but of their own entei prise and risks, whilst you
freely share your trade with foreigners? if your labours
have not succeeded, if your sacrifices have proved vain,
are they to suffer finr your incapacity or imprudence ? If
conquest led you to ruin, they will not subject states, but
enrich their own. Your failure, if you WU inaint.,:n that
your trade is not worth dividing because unprofitable,
renders the adoption of a new system necessary, and makes
it a duty on the part of Government to let abler hands ex-
plore that field which, under your management has remained
barren. But if, as it is well known, this assertion is un
founded in fact, and only made to create indifference among
British merchants to an extension of trade from which
they are told they can derive no benefit—if you have really
enctewed your commerc:ial revenue, with the tcriitories
entrusted to your care, and yet are com:,elled to ieceive
the assistance, in troops and money, of your country, to
maintain your empire, how have your affairs been manag-
f:d? flow then are you entitled to a renewal of that charter,
which at fist placing the superintendance and direction of
a few factories only into your hands, has by a course of
sanguinary wars and acts of more than dubious character,
made you arbitrary governors over a population of sixty
millions ? You took a lease of our East Indian esn te,
farmed it, enclosed the waste grounds around, and thus
enlarged it. On this field your activity has been employeu
for many years, and although you Were unable to fuldi the
conditions on which the lease was granted, has br...en

RAls I.:rt.—This celebrated Pedestrian lost his match of 109 miles
in 13 hours on Friday, on Tenterden Race Course, near Ashford, in
Kent. The accounts received state, that Rainer did ti 9 miles iii 11
hours anti nine minetes, and could primed nu fiirther. The 1-weather
was much against the performance, and the Pedestrian was match
exhausted.
PrnasTnt Lincolnshire Yeoman, who undertook on
Saturday, id inst. for a wager of 100 tznineas, to go 48 miles in 12
hours. tur 1-2 successive days, completed his herculean task on Wed-
nesday evening, about six wiles from Melton blow-bray.

Two boxing matches between Marten (the Jew) and Lancaster,
and Coyan and Davis, took place Wednesday, on Coombe-1V ar► en,
near Kingston, in the presence of 10,000 spectators. The first bat-
tle, between Marten and Lancaster, lasted three hours and thirty-
Inv minutes, and in which one hundred and nincly fire rounds were
fought— a circumstance unprecedented in the a►maln of prize fight-
ing. They were ►matched for a stake of twenty guineas, and a sub-
scription purse. 11. Harmer anti J. Clarke seconded Lancaster,
and Jacobs and Puss seconded Marten. It would till many columns

planted dexterous hits, left and right, on his adversary's head, which
:►early closed one of his eye.. A smart return was made by Lan-
caster, and a rally followed, when Marten was hit down. This
round produced first blood from the head of Lancaster. The sub-
sequent rounds were manfully contested for half an hour, when

FRENCH PAPERS.

The French Papers received this week to the Bth and.
I lth inst. are almost entirely filled with documents relative
to the Swedish and Austrian wars. We have givetithe
most important of these, and shall continue them in our
next, as they ale numerous enough to occupy several sheets.
The tendency of the whole is to prove, and with great shoo'
of probability, that ever since the disastels of the retreat
from Moscow became known, the Court of Vienna iesolved
to break off her alliance with France and to join the canNe
of the Allies. That the insufficiency of her military f
and the disorder of her finances, alone prevented her from
taking the field lest swing, and that she only procured 1;1
armistice in order to gain time to place her armies on an
effective war f)oting. In support of these as...,ertions, it is
stated, that Ptince Sc ttwARTZEN PT It G, by factl;tating the

BREAD.

The Price of Bread was ordered (agreably to the Act) to be re-
(Need One Ahsize and a Halt; ut Threepence in the Peek Loaf
Wheaten, making the Quints!' Loaf Aid.
Tht MagLitrates iu the country have been placed in rather en auk-
ward predicament by the new Act for regulating the Assize of Bread ;
the assigned reason for passing which was to place tlie country
bakers en u test!, as to allewanee for baking, with.tho,e . f the me-
tropolis, and without any alledged view to the relief of the poor, as
has been erroneously surposed.—As the Act gives the Magistrates
the power of fixing the Assize either by the price tit Wheat or Flour,
the Magistrates of Bury St. Edmund's, last week, adopted the 1
fernier mode, when the bakers threatened to shut up their ovens, if
persevered in.
On the t 7th tilt, Crouch, an officer, seized on the premises of a
baker, r;sitiing oil the Green at Depttihll, a sack, containing a
quantity of tine white powder, which weighed 10%0. lyr. 10Ibs.
The powder Neal: taken to a 7.llagi,trate, who having summoned
the pa:ties before him, an investigation took place, when it ap•
reared that the powder was made from Derbyshire stone, which had
been previously burnt and ground very fine. The baker acknow-
ledged having purchased of .it iron a thy-salter in Thames-
street. and that it Ival. to he used as 0 substitute for salt, and also
for saving yeast, and neikiug the bread look white. He had tried
It only once, and it did not answer. Mr. Finch, a chemist, Of
Gteenwieh, having, at the request of the Magistrate, analysed the
p,,woer, Rtatcd positively, that it was neither composed of, nor
contained, any vegetable snbstance whatever; but that it appeared
to oc calcined stoic finely pulverised. It was so much burnt, as
to he deprived of its carbonic acid gas.—The Magistrate upon this,
ordered the defendant to be tined 101. the highest penalty which
the statute empoweis, and teat the whole, alter paying the tx-
pences, should be given to the Informer.
S. vend more bakers have been again .convicted in penalties this
week by the Lord Mayor, for making false returns, and having
potatoes MI their premises, fur the put pose of mixing in the bread.

MY Lonn—Although nothing very material has occurred iv

The rear-guard of the eoeiny, consisting of two battalions of
infantry, a regiment ofeavalry, and some guns, were forced from
None whorl by Count Pahlen, commanding Count Wittgenstein's
advance. The artillery of the Allies, and more force, were iu

ble. The Prussians, under General Kleist and Prince Augustus,
moved to Ebersdorf and Tolsdorff. •
Buonaparte assisted personally ut the grand reconnoisance that was
made on the loth ; had his Ina& givurters at Leibstadt nu the lath.
and moved forward on the lelt of the Allies to Barenstein, near Alten-
burg, on the 12th. The plan of tlic enemy seer's to have been to have
attacked the Allies, if he con:d do so win, an evitivnt advantale, if net,
to impede their advance, such by menaces gain time • ither to extricate

Most Excellent Sir,-1 had the honour to receive your Excell►ency's

proper to remove the Capt.-Gen. Gastanos nom the con►n►and of the
41l army, in order that he may occupy the place of•Cco►iusellor of State,
because be was nut at the head of the 4th army which the Regency had
entrusted to him ; that Gen. Freire had been appointed Capt.-Gen. of
Estramadora and Castile, and was to command the 4th army ; that
Gee. Lacy was appointed Capt.-Gen of, Oallicia, and to the comm►►nd
of the troops of that province. inr!cpendently of the General of the 4th
Army ; and General Giron was to transfer his services to the Ist
Army.

I may venture to address some observations to your Excellency on this
subject, which I beg you 'to submit to the R?gency.

To Sir Charles Stewart.

SIR, Toplite, September 12, 1813.
The enemy increased considerably in number during the whole
of yestenlay ; towards► eve&ng great motion was perceptible upon
their left flank. They soon advanced with guns upon the high road,
and above the Russians, under Count Pahien, from the village of
Nollendorf nearly into Culm.
Towards night, we where reinforced by above 25,000 men, of the
Austrian army. 'l'l►eec troops were immediately placed in position
upon our extreme left, a certain distance up the mountains. They
had marched with little interruption since the morning of the 10th
instant. and during the whole night, but were in good order, and
and without stragglers.
Every thing indicated a general attack upon the ensuing morning.
The prisoners accounted for the skirmish of yesterday by stating
that Bonaparte had reconnoitred us, and at night the whole range
of mountains was covered with the enemy's fires.
The corps of St. Cyr and Victor, the whole cavalry of the guard,
and the remainder of Vanchomme's division, were the troops in front
of us. About twelve o'clock this day, however, the enemy com-
' meowed his retreat from Nollendorf.
It is believed, they have detached strongly towards liotnmotau.
In consequence of this General Kleinan has been reinforced by two
divkions of Austrian light troops, under the orders of Prince Lich-
tenstein.
The Aries are otherwise posted as I reported to you on the loth.
' The remainder of the Austrians, detached towards the Elbe, are
covering the Aussig road upon oor right.
Dispatches have reached us this day from the Prince Royal of
Sweden, announcing the ioyti►l tidings of a victory gained by the
Allies, under his Royal Highness's command, in the neighbourhood
of •Wittemborg.
Upwards of eight thousand prisoners, sixty guns, two hundred
tumbrils, and forty pieces of cannon, had been taken. The Prussians
are said to have sustained the brunt of this affair, to have lost many
people, and to have done great honour to their army. This was
fought upon the 7th and Bth lust. I have the honour to be, Arc:
