CAPTAIN CALLAHAN, of the Alexander Hamilton,
whose arriVal. at Liverpool from the Savannah-we an-
nounced yesterday, states, that he got his information
from a Mr. SCOTT, a respeaable Gentleman whom he
took out passenger from Liverpool, and who had just
returned to' Savannah from Charlestown,': as Cap-
tain C. was on the point of sailing; he reported that
be had seen the Captain of. an Americrin vessel from
Buenos Ayres, whom he minutely questioned upon
the subjed; and from whose account he entertained
no doubt of its re-capture.

The English force is stated to have suffered con-
siderably.

Tuts morning a Gottenturgh "nil arrived, but the
Intelligence which it brings is of a very old -date.
We.have seen, however, some private Letters, that
tend to confirm the accounts which we have ieceived
through such a variety of
.clAnnels of the mortality
that prevails in the Fr,ench Army, and of the ditl

fieulties which it expetiences in obtaining provisions.
The Russians have in' their retreat uniformly laid
waste the Country, so that the French are obliged
to bring. the necessary supplies for their immense
'Army from a very great distance; . and it is perfe&ly
well-known that, even in the finest weather, the
roads in Poland are extremely bad, but in winter,
particularly when there has been much rain, , they
are nearly inipassable; The French accounts, it is
true, state that the weather is particularly favourable,
that. the Army is perfe6.lly, healthy, and that it is
abundantly supplied with provisions. We should
certainly not be inclined .to give implicit credit to
. these accounts, even if they stood uncontracliaed ;
but when the intelligence which has been received
from all quarters, even those immediately "under:
French influence, is in direa variance with—the
French statements, they do* not appear deserving
9f the slightest credit. On- the' other hand, we
do not wish to excite expeaation which may
prove to be too sanguine.; we do not give
qredit to those accounts which represent the French
Army as being nearly annihilated by disease, &c.
'rior do we think that they would. be easily clefeat&l

by the Russian Army, numerous and warlike as it
is ; but we are convinced that there has been a con-
siderable mortality in the French Army-L-that it
experiences very great difficulties in obtain ingpro-
visions—and that if the Russians persevere in their
present system, BONAPARTE will be placed in a
most dangerous situation.

We trust, however, that we shall soon be able to
lay before our Readers suc'h information as 3.vi1l
move all doubt upon the
._subjed, as a Messenger
from Lord HUTC kilNBol4 is hourly expected.

. MANY people have doubted
.the truth of the ac-
count which haSbeen given of the late extraordinary
interview between BoNAPARTE and the'Deputiesfrom
, Harnburgh. We are assured, however, by a quarter
in which we place entire confidnce, that the real cir-.
eurnstances which attended that interview were , •
more extravagant than they appear in the account,
alluded to, and that it is hardly Possible tO.describe
the violence of IiONAPA'EtTE upon the occasion. •At •

Op Wednesday last his Royal Highless the Duke
of Sinn* had the happiness of Tecexing, her MA-
JESTY, ae,.onranied by. ad -he PRINCESSES and
suite, at the bottom of the great staircase, at Ken-
sington Palace, where they alighted from theircar.
;riages at a little before three o'clock.
These illustrious Personages were soon after fol.,
lowed by his Royal Highness the Prince of WALES,
the Duke-and Duchess of.r.oax,. the Duke of Cunt-
BERLAND, and all the other Royal Brothers, except
one, namely', the Dukel of CLARENCE, who was
;prevented by indisposition. After viewing the Pa-
lace and its improvements, a grand concert was per-
formed, in order to fill.up the time till dinner ; but
owing to the KING having gone to Windsor, her
MAJESTY merely partook of a collation, and quitted
the Palace soon after 5 o'clock. On the departure
of the QUEEN and PRINCESSES, the music was then
resumed till dinner was announced, at h'alf past se-
ven. The entertainment was served up in the most
Magnificent style possible, on an elegant service of
gold plate. l'he. attendants were all attired in new
full-dress Royal Liveries, and the Duke of KEN-fa
band played during the banquet.
At dinner were their Royal Highnesses the
PRINCE of WALES, DUKES of KENT, CAMBRIDGE,
&c. &c. The two latter joined the Party
.late.
There were likewise present -two foreign Noble-
men of the,firSt distinelion, whose:names-we could
not learn ; the Marquis of fir,;AnFotr, Mr. WaLsx .
PORTER, Colonel M. PARKINS, Count SALVO, Ba-
ron EDEN,. FRITH and BRO,"iMFIRLD.- s&C.
The whole Corps de Opera attended; together
with several other• professional performers of, great.
ambience. Music constituted the whole of thee
amtisernents of the evening. Mesdames PERRIN/
and 'BIANCHI sung sweetly, and NA:LDI was in.
fine voice. His Royal Highness the PRINCE 0/
WALES seemed highly delighted, and did,nOt de-
part -tilt near two o'clock, when slipper was serrd. '-
ed up.
It would be an a6t" of injustice not to mend
.tion Signor Ztaott„ who aceortipanie.l himself ors. ,
the lute with exqUiStte taste. MoNza.Nr sat at the
piano forte.. -
The company had, however, to regret, that- the
harmony and-, pleasure. of the latter part .pf the
evening was 'considerably damped by his -Royal
Highness the Duke of SUSSEX being' suddenly
seized, from his anxiety and -grelt exertions to
entertain his:_Company, with oneof those. aslhma-
tic attacks to which his Royal Highness. is so ver7
subjeft-3.-- and this unexpe*d.. eyent
him to retire before the whole of-the company
-had separated—which they did not do till a very
late hour. "

The French Ambassador at Constantinople has,
-it seems, presented a very angry Note to the Otto-
Man Government, in which lit styles his Master
INAPOLE.OI.4 TLLIT.G4EAT "—Such an assumption,
in the life-time of the Usurper, is a stretch of arro-
. &Ince suitable to his character. The world in ge,-
ncral, or at !Fast the .people of _Great
.Britain).will .
receive this boastful designation in the sense of
" Jonathan Wild the Great." '

A letter fr. [-a 13,-rtitt, dated December 0, says,
