WE stop the Press to state, that several Rivate
Lettets have been received by the 'flusurn. Mail
which lead us to apprehend that no battle was
fought between the Russians and -the Freneb Sub-
sequent to the 26th Dec. It is stated that on that
dny.l3o.NApAwiE made a violent attack upon the
Russians with the whole of his Forbes, in 5 columns,
and that after a most obstinate action he Was Com-
pelled to retreat, but that the Russians were unabie,
from the badness of the roads, to follow tip their
•
advantage. We do not pledge ourselves for the
truth of this intelligence, but we know that Letters
have been received from Vienna, dated the iOth
instant, and at that time no account had reached
that- City of any battle having takun place subse-
quent to the 26th inst.

The Dispatches which Government this morning
received froth Lord 1-furcnitqsom, Were dated 23Ci
December.
