IIII:14100LAND MAIL, JUST ARRIVED.

A Heligoland Mail, dated the 311 inst. has just
arrived; bringing accounts from the opposite coast
to the 29th ult. they state that ilesertion prevailed
to an amazing degree in the French armies, that the
CROWN PRINCR Was advancing, and expected to
cross the Elbe 20th Sept. ; that NEI/ was concen-
trating his forces at Duben ; and that Leipzic had
been taken by storm, and the Duke of P.:DUA
killed.

We Yesterday announced the arrival of French
Papers to the Ist. instant, which were only im-
portant as containing. no news from Dresden.—
In the evening, however, another packet of these.
J Annals, up to"the date of the •lrh reached town,
and, by furnishing tißUlletin of the 26th Septem-,
bt2.e..unlply compensatcs for the barrenness Of its
pr9eurior. This Bulletin fra glorious document.
It exhibits the Tyrant,
,like his infamous prow,
type in,crime and usurpation, still further hedged
in on every side—

Cabin'd, cribb'd, collated, bound in

aye, and by linadreds of thousands of brave and vie-
torious enemies too, who pour in upon his strong
hold, and bait him gallantly in his ring. Even front
his own story it is clear that the coinage of the
Allies is only equalled)by their conduct ; their va-
lour by their skill'; their intrepidity by their pru-
dence ; and the magnitude of their movements by
the admirable combinations and unity of plan un-
der which they are directed, The history of the
campaign, as given in this,Report of the enemy
presents the followingretnarkablesititation of affairs
at the period of its date.--It is most satisfactory,
and we trust the parts whiCh are obscure and un-
explained (of which there are not a few) will re-
ceive elucidation by'the Northern Mails which
have arrived, anti which will enable us before
closing this article, to contrast the narrative of
our Allied friends with the meagre and incongru-
ous sketches of our fric. But let us see what
countenance BoONA2AUTg puts on his own
situation.

Want of room obliges us to postpone the in
sertion ot the whole of Mr. Maxecee's report, in
answer to, the resolutions of the house of Repre-
sentatives,demanding.information respecting atm-
NAPmere'sferged Decree of April.2B, 1811. The
Secretary travels into a mass of extraneous milt-
ter, and introduces some obseerations which scorn
applicable in a sense .little thought of by their
author. The most important part of this docu-
ment relates to the alleged ce,mummieation
of the French Decree, bearing date 28th April,
1811, purporting to be a sensitive }tepee' of
the Demyes of I3erlin, but it appear, that, the first
communidation of the existence of chi, ;.epeal was
mole:1)Y 'the Mike of BAsq.t,No, iu aa ,informal,
conferenve .'with Mr. BARLow, on the 10th
of May, 1812, at hi 3 request. So that more
than a year elapsed before the American Go-
vernment was apprised of it, yet the President re-
mained in implicit subjection to France, and pro-
ceeded to hostilities against Great Britain.
Letters from France mention, that intelli-
gence had been received there of the rreat naval
battle on Lake Ontm in, which is said to- have
termineted in favour of the Americans, but with
the loss of one of their best Comra.iliders, Cap-
' tain JoNes, who was killed in ni the moment of
victory. It is admitted, that the contest %yes most
desperate, and that? both parties antlered exceed-
ingly; but the English (as iS alsertvd) the mest,
one of our vessels having gone dawn, two struck,
andlthe remainder escaping .with difficulty into
kiugston. This accouet, it must be remembered,
comes throngh t MCIULIIII doably hostile, that of
America and France ; of the two arc the
greatest Romancers it is not easy to determine.—
We trust the Llritish account Will have a diffeient
complexion. At all events we rejoice to know
that great reinforcements were daily proceeding
up the niter St. Lawrence, to restore 'or confirm
oar saprennteyon the Lakes.
