FURTHER SUCCESSES OF THE RUSSIANS.

A Gottenburgh Mail arrived this morning, bring-
ing accounts of three distinct successes obtained
by the Russian troops over the French, who are
stated to have lost no less than 22,000 men, be-
-sides, cannon and baggage. Cowing in the unof-
ficial shape which -these statements at present
assume, .they may probably be exaggerated,'
but there appears no doubt that the French
have sustained a serious defeat, a circumstance
which sufficiently accounts for the silence main-
tiined for so long a period by the French.
Papers as to the state of the war. in Russia.—
We rejoice also to observe, that the prepa•
rations for the Swedish Expedition' are re-

sumed. The Caowx PRINCE has been ap-
t pointed Generalissimo, with full powers, and it is
said, that the expedition will land either in Po-
merania or some part of the adjoining territory.
It seems, from the Gottenburgh accounts, that
two attacks were made by the French On the 25th
.• ' ult. one upon Prin ceßAGaAnoN's advanced-guard,
and the other on the main Russian army, in both
-'which the. enemy were repulsed, losing in the
foriner attempt- 8,000, and in the latter• 6,000.
men, The third attack was made by OCIDINEPT,
on the 30th and 31st ult. on a part. of the Rus-
sian army, under the command of General OSTER.
MANI in which the former was repulsed with the
loss of 5,000 killed, 3,000 prisoners, two pieces
of cannon, and a' great quantity of baggage.
We hasten to lay before our Readers extracts
from the Papers brought by the Mail :
GOTTE:IBURH, AUG. 15.—0 n the 25th ult. the
French attacked the advanced guard of General
BAGRATION, but were driven back with the loss
of 8,000 men. On the same day the main
Russian army *was attacked, and, equally suc-
cessful, the French being repulsed with the loss
of 6000 men. On the 30th and, 31st Ult. r.
French corps, Under the command of OuniNoT,
attacked the Russians, under the command Of Ge-
neral OsTERM kN, and were repulsed with great
slaughter, leaving 3000 prisoners, 2 pieces of can-
non, 'and a great quantity of baggage their loss
in killed is estimated at 5000 men.
The greatest, activity prevails in preparing the
intended expedition ; its deStination is supposed
to be Holstein, Pomerania,. or some part of
the Prussian Waste.

KONIUSBERG, JULY 27.—0 n the 21st inst.

rious to the Allied arms. The corps of Prince

batants. The Russians lost 300 in killed, wound;•
