Dispatches were received-last-WOW by:Csosterumerst lion)
Sir C. Stewart. They arc dated Leipsig, Oct. 22d, and men-
tion that up to that date, three hundred piece& of cannon
bad been taken, and no fewer than -twenty-seven of the
Enemy's Generals put hors dc combat.
This is the amount of the intelligence hitherto-received
by Government.

NOV. 21.

statingiss poitions Dealt a 1 corps, are totally silent
with respect to those of MURAT, 1 AUGEREAU, and
MORT I ER, and we may-therefore conclude, that nearly, if
not the whole of these, as well as the corps OT PAVOLIST,
have been cut off by.the Allies. General WREDE is stated
to haVe been mortally wounded, and all his relations in the
army to have perished in the late actions.
On the 9th, .the day of ilt/ONAPART E'S return to Paris,
but previous to his arrival, the Senate held an Extraordinary
Sitting, the object of which was the prolongation of the Re-
gency of the EMPRESS. From this circumstance we pre-
sume he means to return to the Rhine. Poet- KING JE-
ROME has been again obliged to evacuate his caFital of Airest
phalia. He arrived on the Ist at Cologne. The King of
SAXONY is said to have been sent under an escort to Berlin.
The VICEROY is said to have defeated the Austrians with the
loss of several pieces of cannon and le,ooo •men,
wounded, and prisoners, but no details of this pretended
victory are given.
It has been reported that NAPOLEON had set oiffrom Paris
with most of the guards, who had hitherto remained with the
Empress, to repair to Holland, which was threatened with in-
vasion by the CROWN PRINC S'army. -The French force in
that quarter, with the additional guards from Paiis, is said to
amount to 60,000 men, which rather seems improbable.
Meanwhile, the greatest preparations are made in our har-
bours for the expedition intended to co-operate with our
Allies in the liberation of that country, and the command of
rrwhich the public hope assigns to Sir THOMAS PIGTON.

The New Omnium lms risen to 5 per cent.
It was yesterday reported on 'Change, but merely on the
doubtful authority of a Dutch Captain, that a tumult had
taken place a few days ago at Amsterdam, in which upwaids
of too French douaniers,lost their lives. •
Private accounts from the French coast repeat the rumour,
that Buonaparte is directing the principal part of his disposa-
ble force to Flanders and Holland, and that he would soon
rejoin the army, and remain with it until the 2d of nest
month, when the Session of the Legislative Body is to com-
mence.

Private letters state, that Buonaparte, after the battle of
Hanau, effected his escape, to Mentz, with 40,000 men.
We -learn that, by the intelligence given in last night's
Gazette, that the Weser is open, and the fortresses of Brodie
and Bremerlehe captured by a small Expedition of Gun-
boats from Heligoland, their French garrisons remaining pri-
soners in the hands of the assailants. The corvettes and
offer shipping were seized upon by the Fortunee frigate,
Captain Farquhar.
With regard to the less certain points of information by
this conveyance, there is every reason -to believe that they
arc also entitled to credit,. though not sanctioned by being
official. It is said that the Ems, as won as the Weser, is
open, and Emden garrisoned by the Russians—that several
vessels from the mouth of the Elbe were off Heligoland on
the 6th, that General Gibbs, with from 3 to 4,000 men froth
Stralsund, 'had reached their destination, disembarked, and
formed a junction with the Allies between Bremen and
Oldenberg, whence the combined force would proceed in
the &l ions work of liberating Hesse, Brunswick, Hanover,
and, in fine, all the usurped kingdom of Westphalia. •
A letter from Cadiz states, that the Government of the
United States has formally recognized the Spanish Regency,.
and sent an Ambassador to that Body. Theiispanish Minis-
ter at Washington has also been acknowledged; and the Mi-
nister of the intrusive king was informed that be could not
exercis e his functions any longer.
