" DEAL, Sivr. 17.

News (if true) of the highest importance has
just arrived here, sent trom the Commander •of
the in-shore sytatiron.off the Scheldt to the Com-
mander-in-Chief in the Downs. The intelligence
thus obtained, states, that the Allies had made a
General Advance and Attack upon the French
Armies, and that most sanguinary. .Battles•were
fought on the sth, Gth, and 7th of this month,
near Dresden, when BUONAPARTE, being' nearly
surrounded, Was oblised to eta his Way .through
the Allies, and retreat in disorder towards France,
leaving SEVENTY TLIOUgAND Of his 661,,D1R10
KILLV.D, WOUNDED, or PRISONEUSt the hands
of our Friends, the Allies. It is also stated, that
commotions in Holland and Flanders, begin to
make a visible appearance."
On the latter subject, namely the discontents
and insurrectionary motions` said to be prevalent
in Holland, it is scarcely possible to conceive that .
there can be any misrepresentation. Rutuonrs rnas7
distort the appearanee of distant objects, but sure-
ly there can be no ground for believing that these
Fishermen' who spoke Our squadron would utterly
pervert the narrative of facts passing immediately
under their own eyes, and within the bound of
their own personal observation. With regard to
the victory near Dresden, it' is much eorinho-
rated by the following information, which, had
it conic singly, we 'should have- considered a
relating to the battles of the 26th and 27th, but
Which, .conjoining with the reports front the
Dutch coast, we earnestly hope cony refer to sub- ,
sequent battles on the sth, Gth, and 7th.

" The Badger-hired armed cutter, Lieutenant
MARSHAL, arrived. at Deal yesterday, after a short
passage, front.Heligoland ; a Gentleman svho
arrived in her, states, that previous to the sailing
of the Badger, accounts, which were regarded as
nearly official, had reached the Island, from which
it7„appetred, that the Allied Army having concen-
trated their forces in the iieiglibourhoti-of,D.res-
den, bad made another attack on that. City with
complete success. A battle wtich lasted three
'iLlys, commenced, which terminated' in the total
Defeat of the French, who lost SEvto.,4 THOUSAND
KILLED, a great number of Wm/titian, and about

source of informOtion whence we can, tinder ex-

ried pains we take in endeavouring to elicit real
facts from the. incumbrances of Gallic mummery
and deception will neither be thought tedious

the conflicting hosts, it is observable that we can
only obtain intelligence from the combined army,.
in Bohemia by a very circuitous route, ex-
.

overcomes. the obstacles opposed 'by nature and
by embattled multitudes, and, regardless alike
of toil or danger, cuts anti conquers his
way to that quarter, betwem which and'.
J.,:ngland there is 1:o interruption to apprehend
because the intervening medium is the ocean,
where Britain endures the presence of no con-
trouling toe. Such was the service recorded in
the: 7th Swedish Bulletin of .General Prince
KounnscnorF, who with 2QO Cossacks traversed
Saxony and Brandenberg, from Dresden to Ber-
lin, swain across ricers, forced posts, and convey-
ed to the CRowN. PRINCE at Belitz the only in-
telligence yet received from Bohemia since the
commencement of the war. The same.diffictilties
will continue to attend the transmission of ac-
counts from this point till perhaps British ex-
,
extions and .Austrian victories open some port in
,the Adriatic, or till the Tyrant 'is driven, which
we trust he by this day is, from his strong hold
at Dresden, and the whole line of the Elbe. It
round Dresden that " the front of battle lours,"
and a better notion of the campaign cannot be'con-
veyed in fewer words than by considering that. ca-
pital as the central point in the war, within a
circle of from SO to 100 miles of ,which the strug-
gle is maintained on the North' towards Berlin,
by the CROWN PRINCE ; on the East,' towards
Bresslau, by BLUCHER ; and on the South, to-
wards Prague, by the Allied Monarchs. On the
West, lies the Despot's road. towards-. Fiance—
a road to Ivhich. we expect he will speedily com-
mit himself, and,' for the welfare of mankind,
we earnestly hope, without being able to find
safety in his flight.

to the 23d, "after having disputed the ground
foot by foot," under the walls of Dresden !. Re-
tiring before an enemy so overwhelming in mini -
'ben, his loss mustAave been very great. As it
was not safe to lie so enormously to the inhabi-
tants et Prague, who from their proximity were
necessarilyacquainted with some particulars of the
'action, as to the more distant population
of Paris, the report here given steers clear
of the superadded exaggerations of lino? A-r
TiTE's bulletins, and reverts to the less ob-
trusive falsity of Aliawr :—the invasive army is
consequently again reduced to 150,009 instead of
'200,000 men. But to make amends for this, the
said Report asserts, that both the "right anti
bfft wings" of the allies were defeated, whereas
BiIoNAPAIi.TE, more modest in this particular, only
claimed to have beaten the kft wing ! The error
committed by the Austrian General, in taking up
a had position With the valley of flatten, to inter-
cept his communications with the centre army, is
once more protruded and dm It upon„but instead
of the entire annihilation of this tdrce, the
Leipsie Story-teller contents himself with say-
ing, " that so unp.wionable a' fault until have
(not " has," though lie article is written a week
after the battle) cost it dear:'—" Several" Aas-
trian Generals are mentioned as prisoners, but
still no names; and the firtn possession of their
first position acknowledged to have been main-
tained by the Allied centre, till they chose to with-
draw at night, is a taut conelimive against' the
claim of victory set up by IiVONAPTE.
But the main point elucidated be this report is,
the amount of the force 'under VANDAMITE. Not
one corps only did this ghost-like Count com-
mand at the period of his disappearance—
he had " seventy battalions, and a cavalry and
artillery proportionme," under him, when the
brave Prussians with VoN KLErsr, destroy-
ed this large and imputing force,. the very ma-
