Another letter which we have, states the

Io s.

vessel to have se.iled froin Riga on the 25th.

We

are strongly inclined to give credit to this account,

because it is stat9,:', in► the French Papers which

arrived last thßt BUONAPARTS left ItVilna

on the 17111, to put himse,lf at the head of his

army. It is "nitur9.F.to sqppbse,-that he had made

all the necessary arrangements for the meditated
attack before he left Wilila, and therefore it

might have, been made on the 18th, and the
account of it have reached Riga on the 20th.—
We are the more inclined to believe this ac-

count, from the situation , in► which BUONAPARTE

was placed. -It was absolutely necessary either
that he should Make some decisive effort against the
Russians, or that he should retreat out of Poland.

He could not remain any longer at WTilna per-

forming the farce of the re-establishment of Po-
land. It would-=lie physically impossible fOr him

to 'maintain such an army in that position for any
length of time. The Chronicle of this clay sup-
poses BUONAPARTE would not pursue his dc'signs
against Russia—that he would content himself with
re-establishing the Kingdom of Poland, and that he
would return to Paris ; but it is absurd to suppose

that Poland. could be re-established unless ..the

power of Russia were broken. The moment the
French evacuate Lithuania, it will of course be

occupier, by .the Russians. To revert to the im-

portant intelligence, we have only to add, that a

serious check to BUONAPARTE in his present situa-

tion, is equivalent to, a defeat, and midst be at-

tended with the most serious consequences:

The Gottenburgh Mail, which brought the
above, brings no other news. We do not hear
of the embarkation of any of the Swedish troops.
General BAncr...vy DE ToLLI has issued a very
im-
pressive address to the German troops employed in
the French service.

It is stated, in a Paper of this morning, that
a vessel has arrived from Vigo, which place she
left on the 29th, and at that time no accounts
of the battle has reached that place. None
of our port letters mention the arrival of any
suck vessel, and we are inclined to think that
the statement is founded on mistake. There is •
no arrival from any part of the Peninsula.'

We are assured that a person arrived, within
the last two days, in town, who is said to be the
bearer of Dispatches from the Court of Vienna.—
If the person has really been charged with any
confidential Pispatches from the Emperor of
AUSTRIA, our Ministers are too guarded and pru-
dent to let the contents transpire. It is certain
that a person of the description which we have
mentioned has actually arrived; but we do not pre-
sume to be apprized of the purport of his journey.

Government received letters from Sweden this
day, but we do note earn that they contained any
thing important.

There are reports in toss n stating, that
when the melancholy event of the death of
Mr. PERcEVAL arrived in America, the declaration
Of war had been suspended, and that a Bill for re-
pealing the Non-importation Act hail been twice
read. We, however, are disposed to place little
confidence in these reports.

JEROME BUONAPARTE has been under the ne-
cessity of publishing a Decree, acknoWledging his
inability to pay the interest of the public debt
of Westphalia. The Decree is dated the 12th
June, at Warsaw, and directs, that the interest
in future is to be added to the capital!
