the same as the foregoing; lie estimates the loss
of the enemy in the attack of the British line on

he states his 1053 on t: .e 1 lth, to he 300 killed,
And pbout 1000 wounded ; the greater part of

FRIDAY, Y.' 14, 1813.

Trusting that the French leported victory at
Liamt will be found to resemble their reported
victory at •eastella,, we have this day the pleasure
of stibillitting to the '.public the details of 'the
latter important event, as furnished by the Cadiz ,
Mail whieb'arriVed this Morning. From these it
will be seen, that SUCHET, iu 111$ Letter to: the
'Minister at 'war; closed his account of the battle •
exactly at a convenient period, namely., aftei he
he'd:driven -in the Spaniardsi, and before. he as
routed by the Allied Afiiiy.' Thisyout appears to

the peasantry harassed his Ranks, till the report
of his total loss amounted to upwards ,:of
five thousand Men. During the action,no pit
sutlers weretaken, as no quarter was given. •% The
chasccontinuedupl to "the last date 'of the dis:.;
patches, and no doubt but other important ad-'
vantages must result from this decisive adair.

liant achievement, we have still a more 'pleaSing
task to perform, whirh is to .announce that;Abe

And has

The. othee news from the Reniumulai brought by.

/-70/0 of the Whole number 'escaped.

We are still without information from the
orqi, though the pUblie anxiety
.has been, and
continues to be,,.nbused by. a Varietr of idle and
rnisehievous ruinous of a defeat sustained by the
',Allied tains at Littzen. All 'these iiloomy 'tales
are derived from. the smite aoitrce--a . letter
from a Dunkirk smuggler, lounded ou the article
in the Joanna' de l'Ernp;?:e of'the Gth. W yester..

our Share towards, giving publicity. to that ‘vhich
it must be so desirable to him to have circulated,
even though not believed. To attach credit to
ihem in their rresent unauthentic 'and suspicious.
shape, is to promote the design' of BuoNATATE

which is 'intended ito have the effect. of
keeping down the rising spirit of Germany,

and reinforcing the energies of the French.

linquish to -the Varty. chrimicle, which we observe
lei warning Awes- implicicceliance on the 'French
iissertions, and fears that the defeat of the Allie
turn out. to be too true: On which. account, but
without deigning to say,why, the writer, very saga-
ciously,
patriotically„ and emphatically, adds—:

" What kit not the Ministers of tho court, of Carlton
House to answer for ?"

We would thank him to lell.us (grammatically if
he can), even allowing his fears (we had al
most Written hope), to be well founded,
,not
what Ministers and the Court of ,rarlton-,
House has not to answer for, but what they has
to answer fur in this Sony case.
