LONDON,

MONDAY, ThiCk.:MßEit 23; 1805.

OUR Dover Letter of this .morning states, that
some Prussian Captains there, had received Letters
from their Owners, desiring them not to sail with-
out Convoy, as PRUSSIA WAS AT WAR WITH
PRANCE.

WE do not think it necessary to occupy the time
of our Readers by commenting at any great ength
upon the persevering efforts of some of the Opposi-
tion Writers to discredit. the intelligence received
last week, of thedefeat of the French by the Allied
Army.—The obstinate scepticism of these Writers,
when any accounts favourable to the cause of their'
Country arrives, cart only be equalled by the credulity'
with which they receive, and the eagerness with
which they propagate, intelligence of an opposite
complexion. They dwell with malignant sat' s'.
fitaion on M. BOURIENINE'S account of the French
having obtained a ViEtory on the 2d—while they
persist in refusing any credit to the concurring
reports, from different parts of the Continent, and
even to the 'official accounts of the renewal of the
Battle.on the 3d and 4th, and its ultimate termina-
tion in•flivour of the Allies. •In addition to the in-
formation Which we have .already laid before our
Readers upon.this most interesting •subjea, we are
now enabled:to state; that Baron JACOBI, the Prus-
sian. iNlinister to our Court, has received Dispatches
from' Berlin, which state, that a Messenger had
arrived in that Capital; with, a 'Letter from the
'EmeEßoit of. ItUr;3. to tll6 KIIN4 of PRUSAI4.,
dated on the evening of the 3d, which attentions
the renewal of the Aetion on that day ; and that its
result, thought not 'decisive, was highly favourable
to lite Such 13 the amount of the Intelli-
gence received by Baron .I.lc 0 B '; but Government
have received further advices, which state that ano,
this Courier hit 4 Arrived., at:Berlin; on .the 70th, It
with a Letter. from the Entp:?rfar' "Ar.Ex.mitieit,
which contained the gratifying intelligence of the
Allies: having obtained a B:;11.LIA-1'4.'r VioTOlti7). art
Thi4 intelligence was Immediately circulated 'at
Berlin, and occasioned the liveliest' sensations of
joy.

'Fur. M:Hter of the Ocean Brig, which arrived at
Plymouth on Saturday from Lisbon,-,states, that on
the 14th Inst, in.lat. 47. long. 7. he fell in -with a
French Squadron of Elevett:Sail, si*.' or seven of
which appeared to be of tixt. Line, who were steer-
ing W. S. W They plundered the Brig, and took
away the Mate. This might probably have
,loan
the Rochefort Squadron; though some reports state
it to have been a division which had. escaped from
Brest,

Accounts- received at
,the Admiralty confirm the
aboteinteillgette: The. Frigate that boarded the
Ocean was full `4,Troops. ',lnfortnation of the cir-
cumstance- was tnint. from Plymouth .to Admiral

The L'kelton Castle and the In ni rcester from Bo-
bay, the Mali/Ars, dip Ocean, the-United Kingdams-,
and the Lord' KeiM, fro' Benipl, are arrived., otr

LAST night we received Paris Papers to the t Yth,
and Dutch Journals to the 14th inst. They contain
little intelligence Which wer'e uot,proviot.isly
possession of tram other sourt,:es. There is not a
word in the Pariii Papers respating the Battlecof the
2d. The Dutch Journals are equally silent, with
the exception of the Order issued by General litinaz,
'Which we stated before, and which announced, but
rather Cautiously, that the
,French had obtained.
' a great 'viaory over, the Allies. This, however,
relates entirely to the brittle of the, 2d, and there
seems a reserve in 4tioe-e'3 communication, if he
wits aware that some ill news rein,:iinedbehintt—
'The silence of the Paris Papers respeeting tin. battle
of the 2d, in which they might,. with some .plansi.;
bility claim the viaory, is. extraordinary, as, there
was sufficient time for a Courier to arrive front the
scene of aaion at Strasburg, from whence a, Ttile-
graphic Dispatch might have been forwarded, in a
very short time, to Paris. Their silence Upon• this
subjea is, ,however, not so important, as an article
from Paris, in, one. of the French Paperi, ,which
states that the head-quarters of BONA,rARTE 'erg i
:thOtit to be removed back to Schoenbruntt. This
seems very like an intention of preparing the public
mind for the retreat of the Freneh Army. le ano.
titer Journal it is stated,. that 13oN,trAit•rk intended
to proceed to Munich, for the parpOSO, as it is hint-
ed, of crowning the Elector' of #avaria.

The Paris Tapers boast, that the French Troops in
Germany would soon amount to eso,ooo. We
trust, hOwever,,iliat a large part of these Troops will
ere long have to combat. a strong acid efficient Prus-
sian Force.. the Berlin Court Gazette, 9f the 3d,
says, that perhaps the period has arrived when the
hopes of Peace have been annihilated; a clear indi-
.
cation, that no Pacific result was expeaed from the
Missibri of liat.icWiri.

It is stated confidently in the Paris Papers tha-t
t 5,000 English and Russian Troops had landed in
Naples,;. forpermiiting which the Sovereign of that
Country receives a large portion of abuse.
Gieat preparations were making in tioliand to
re-
sist any attack upon that Country.
The French Funds were at SG. go. •

A Letter received this morning from Falmouth,
dated on Saturdair, ..says,--" Lieut. GARRATX,. skate

the French some time since off ChetboUrgi landed
