AVE lave been
,fasionred. with the periWal of a:
private letter from a Gentleman of distin&ion at
Vienna, which states,. that the desertion: of the Ger,
man Troops, :whose 'Sovereigiis ,have lately became
VasSals-of Franee, .is unprecedented ; no less than
9000 of tnem have within a very short. time made
their escape into thp AuStrian-Territories,..andinve
enlisted in Austrian. Regiments.. A great number
of Prussian Soldiers, who were dispersed after the,
fatal Battle of Auerstadt4 effected their escape into
Bohemia, .-acrd above 10,000 of them laaVe been in-
cOrporated .with the Austrian Troops.. The levies
throughout the whole Austrian Empire are greater
than was ever known.. .

WE have this day continued our Ettrafis from
the Hustnn Mails which arrived yesterday. The
accounts which 'they contain from the theatre of
war are rather confused. The Harnburgh Paper
states, that the French head-quarters were at Os-
terode as late as the 10th of March, which certainly
Is in dire& contradielion to the accounts which have
lately reached us.' •

Last night Paris and Dutch Pape/7 reached Town;
the former to the' •21st and the latter to the 25th
Inst, but they still leave us in doubt upon the actual.
position of the Armies. The face} of the retreat of the
French, however, we think indisputable; though we-
contess we should be much more gratified to hear
that BONAPARTE was determined to carry on the
'War in Poland, than.that he had effected his retreat
to the Oder.

No 'further confirmation has- been received, 9f the
.•
Battle of the 2.Bth;, a Messe,:ger arrived yesterday
from St. Petersburgh - with Dispatches fioru the
Marquis of DOUGLAS; 'but they do not contain any
account of recent events.

EHTRACT OF. A PRIVAT.E LETTER FROM ST. PETERS-

' cc, The-ViCiory obtahred Over Ow Enerny at E)i.:'
ladwas'most brilliant and most ithportant! ..Lie'
• . •
Army or BONAPA,III'E ,amounted ..,to near) 1 '20,000
-men ; ours of the tiro` Divisions of BingraosEx and
that which Was formerly BUZ' HOYDEN'S. The Bat-.
tle,; which lasted two clays, 'was one of the most .„
tnutderous thit.,.eVer. was fought. BDNAPARTE'm-
newed the attack- eight.times, and acl-1 time.he ANT'aS
repulsed. The greatest fart of the. Elite b i :1-)is,4r-
„Grenadiers, who
my was destroyed; . the i .Hprse
were considered (it I may use the expte-Ssion)' as
' ' the Elite of the Elite; were nearly all eta topieces;
according io.the account of the ralssian's only.seven-•
teen men remained out of the whole 'Corps.. The
Hussars were nearly all cut to pieces.

"'The battle was fcraght upon plain of the ex,-
tent of 20 vcrsts,. and. throughout .the whole space,
.
as ' far as the' eye could -reach; noth.ing waS to: be
.
seen but carbage. You will perceive that thq -nr.t-
ber of Prisoners were not-in 'proportion to the num-
ber killed ; during the'latter, part of the battle, the
troops on both sides having exbusted their: carl-
tridges, were compelled to fight Withtheir blyonti.:
The 12 standards which were taken from the enamy,
have' been publicly exposed. They are ornamented'
.with the Eagle, which is a pfoof that those who car-
ried them were killed, because it is alWays the'prac-'
tice of the French to. take off the Eagle from . the
standards when they find they cannot defend:them.;
very few of them are therefore_ever taken with that
ornament -upon theM. If BONAPARTE had succeeded
in his.'atten3pt, it would have decided' the fate of
. , . . _ ...
the Campaign ; lie would have effectually, cut Off
BENNIGSEN from Vox EsSEN, and Konigsburgh
must have fallen ; but the aaiVity and rapidity of
General .BENNIpSEiI'S _ movements frustrated his I
scheme."

According to Pispatebes. from Lord COLLING-
WOOD, a French Squadron and four Spanish Sail of
the Line are in Cadiz, having contrived to enter,

notwithstanding all .the,vizilance of .our blockading

Squadron. These Ships, with others in'.the Same
Port, and a considerable number of Transports, were
expeeled: to make an-_attempt to escape when the
,Dispatches, which were brought by the Halcyon,
:;came away. '

E libdrars-piri t of moderation.that characterises-
the Note which the-Ottoman Court has ordered to
be presented to the Foreign Ministers now at Con-
stantinople, in order to be transmitted to their re-
speetive Sovereigns, in consequence of the depar-
ture of the English Ambassador fium that place,
is a -proof that, I,vhatever measures the Sublime'
Porte has been induced, to adopt 'adverse to this
Cduntry and its Allies, were, in reality repugnant
to its own feelings. That they were the effe6t of
•
French intrigue and menace, is notorious, and
it is.highly probable, that as soon as Ottoman
Court is acquainted with the success of Russia over
the French Armies, i,tau ill eagerly embrace the first
opportunity of resuming amicable relations with
this Country.

Yesterday we received Neep-York Papers to the

in St. Douthigo. There is nothing- new in'these Pa-

It is imagined, in some well informed naval circles,.
that the French, squadron, of three-Sail of the Line,
