WE 'have received some Paris Papers, but they
are not of so, late a date as those which arrived on
Monday last : they, however, enable us to lay be-
fore our-Readers the Twenty-eighth and Twenty-
ninth Bulletins of the French Army. The former is
very unimportant, but the latter is a most curious
produaion. After.giving an account 'of the storm-
ing of Lubeck, and the subsequent surrender 'of the
Corps under the command of General BLUCHER, it
suddenly 'proce4ds to make a violent attack upon
the English Newspapers, for inserting false in-
telligence, particularly respeEting, the state of 'lta-
ly. We are told that the French Army in Italy
amounts to 180,000 men (a few days. ago. it 'was
stated to amount to 200,000) ; that King Josvn
theiabsolute Master of the Two Calabrias; and -that
:all opposition has ceased, except by a few Galley
Slaves, armed and trained by the infamous Sir SM-
. NEY SMITH, &C. &c. •We can very -easily accOunt
~ for the coarse inveaives which are lavished upon.
,that gallant Officer; and, accustomed as we haVe
been to the disgraceful scurrility which charac-
terize theTrFrench State Papers, we confess we'
were not surprised at the gross and unprovoked at-
tack' whiCh follows upon \ the QUEEN of NAPLEs.-:-
It would be an insult to our ReaderS if we were to
make any comments upon this part .of the Belle
tin.. These Papers contain some letters which %are
stated to have been found upon Prince Lot's FEE- •
DINAND and his Aide-de-Camp. We are prevented
by want of room from laying them before our
- Readers this day.

A report was yesterday circulated that a Rattle
had been fought near Posen between the Russians
and the French, under the Command of General
DAVOUST, in which, the latter had been complete-
ly defeated. This report rests upon the authori-
ty of a Mr. SCHULTZ, who arrived' yesterday from
the Elbe ; but we fear it is not entitled to much
credit. If the 60,000 Russians, which are stated
in the French Papers to have 'entered the Prussian
territories had continued to advance, they certainly
might either have defeated DAVOUST, at Posen,
%compelled him to retreat, becaUse his force at the
atmo4t clid pot exceed 30,000 men. But we 'are
strongly inclined to believe that, upon receiving in-
telligence of the result of the Battle of Auerstadt,
the Russians halted, for further orders.

IT was yesterday stated, that a Flag of Truce had
arrived from France.' The report was probably cir-
culated for stock-jobbing purposes, and we believe
it produced some t ;fed.

'E contradicted on Tuesday last, from an autho-
rity on which we had full reason-to rely, the report
that it was the intention of Ministers to Sequestrate
the. Funded Property of. Foreigners, by way of rc7
taliation for the violent -measures Which the Enemy
has adopted in the Seizure 'Of British Property at
Hamburgh. That report has been repeated, and,
therefore, we think it necessary again. to assure our.
Readers that it was circulated without fbUndation.

HIS MAJESTY came to town yesterday from
Windsor, and held a Court at -the Queen's PA:ce.

neously stated in several Papers.
