Since our' last, German Papers have arrived 'to
the Bth, French to the 11th, and Dutch to the'l2th.
The late reports of the defeat of the Russians by
the Turks, are fully confirmed by the German Pa-
pers, there being' several -articles in :hese Journals
from different. quarters whiCh all concur in. stating
that fait.' The amount of the loss sustained by the
Russians is, however, variously estimated. Ac-
cording to some statements, they lost all their can-
non and baggage, whilst others mention that they
preserved them, and retreated in good order. (lie
account states, that it was only a part of the Russian
troops that was defeated, and that the check was of
little consequence; but in Others-it is affirmed, that
the whole armies were engaged The battle is said
to have lasted sixteen hours, and to have been at
length decided against the Russians by the Turkish
Cavalry.
Amidst these contradiaory statements, it is im-
possible to ascertain the truth, further than that the
Russian arms aalually sustained a defeat—that being
repeated in all the accounts, however favourable or
unfavourable to the Russian cause, and we think it
highly probable, from the details that are given, that
the Turks obtained on this occasion a brilliant vic.
tory.

The late King'of Sweden arrived at Leipsie froth
Munich on the 30th ult. and after a short stay, pro—.
ceeded on his way to Berlin. It is rutnoured in-the Ger=
man Papers that he intended to repair to the coast of, the
Baltic. His progress in that direEtion seems to augur
important political consequences. The critical state
-of affairs in Sweden, . arising frotn..the imbecility of
the reigning Monarch, and the contest for the suc-
cession, in which the attempt to impose upon the,
Swedes the Danish yoke, cannot fail ,to excite
amongst them considerable alarm, renders it by'no
means improbab!e that the journey of GusTAvos to
the North is conneQed wall some projeQ for his re-
storation to the Swedish-Throne.

The brave inhabitants of the Tyrol have not yet
been subdued by the tyranny of -their oppressors.
In the neighbourhood of flovca's native place, in-
spired by the remembrance of his patriotism and va-
lour, they have resisted the conscription, and seve-
ral Bavarian soldiers were killed and wounded in the.
contests which ensued. Fresh Regiments had been
ordered to march, to reduce the unfortunate Tyrolese
to submission.

The French and Dutch Papers contain very little
news: They state that Almeida had been invested,
but are %silent respeding the action k hich imme-
diately preceded the laying siege to that fortress.
It is ascertained by the accounts from Naples
in these Papers, that no attempt had been made on
Sicily up to the 2 ISt' ult.: on that day an attack was
made by our force on some of the enemy's transports
and gun-boats stationed off the Punta del Pezzo.—
It is pretended that we retreated with considerable
loss ; but from: the specimens we lately had of
MURAT'S naval viaories, we have no doubt that this

affair will turn ont to be a very considerable discom-
fiture of Isis invading flotilla.

According-to a report' in private Letters from the
Continent, it appears that a new conspiracy against
BuoNArnaTz had been discovered at Breda, and
that two, of the chief agents .in the plot had been
secured. It has been hinted that this is perhaps.
but a pretended conspirvacy on the partof the French
Government, in order toget rid of certain persons in
Holland who may be supposed to be par►icularly
hostile to the views of the Gallic Tyrant. Every
species of artifice may_ indeed
.be expe&ed from the.
Usurper and his agents, but as he has 'been the
cause of more misery, national and domestic, than
any other person that ever existest and as the hearts
of all mankind are .against him, it would by no
means be wonderful if the alleged :conspiracy were
the result of that indignation and abhorrence which
his condud canr.ot fat: to excite, and which way na-
turally dispose some resolute spirits to attempt to
rid the world of such a Monster.

We believe there is no truth in a statement in , a
Paper of yesterday, of the arrival of i Flag of T 1 Lice,

• On Saturday a Cabinet Council was held at the
Foreign Oilice. The snhject 'of deliberation was
supposed to relate to BVONAPARTE 's
late decree.

Much has been said of a recent speech of the
Prince of WALES, in which his Royal Highness is
reported to have said that, he was anxious to instil
into the mind of his daughter the principles of Mr.
Fox. In the rir.t place, it may be said that we have
only Oppoiition authority for believing that his
Royal Highness ever uttered such sentiments,' and
that is certainly not the most credible ground for
confidence. In the next place, we humbly pre-
sume, however, that it would be difficult to know
what were the principles of Mr. Fox, for he shifted
his ground as 'much as any other political adven,
turer of the day. .At one time, it it well known
that he declared the representative bOdy were
'whoPy independent, of their constituents; and at
another he maintained that the will (,f the consti-
tuents should- be' imperative on the representatives,'
to say nothing of the -contradictory doctrines which
he espoused and abandoned upon various occasions.
How then is it 'to be supposed that the Prince of
WALES, with his enlightened understanding, would
have resorted to the inconsistent principles of such,
a man for• the political creed of his illustrious off-
spring'?

The following exiract of a letter was on Saturday
