GOTTENBURGH MAIL.

The mail of 3d November arrived yeflerday. It
brings various accounts of the battle of the 14th, of
which we have for Come time known the difallrous
refult. We fubjoin one letter to Thew the nature of
the rumours circulated in the North.

N LUND, NOV. 1.

" All the accounts received here from Stralfund,
Stettin, dm mention the battle of Auerfladt as hav-
ing been obtained chiefly by treachery ; nothing could
exceed the determined bravery with which the Pruf•
flaps fought, animated by the pretence of their King
and the venerable Duke of Brunfwkk ; every inch
of ground was contefted, and notwithllanding the
fuperior numbers of the French, they would cer-
tainly have been driven off the field but for the
perfidy of General —, who prefented an open
• AK in the corps which he commanded, into which
the enemy poured a column of infantry, and get.
ting into the rear of the Prufflan army, threw it
into confufino. He is now under arreft, as well as
three other Officers fulpefted of the fame condo°, and I
will be brought to a Court Martial, as Coon as one
can be held: I have heard the names of there traitors,
but do not mention them for fear of a miftake.
" Our oppofite neighbours, at Copenhagen, are a
good deal alarmed at the profpett which this event
p►efents to them ; already do they anticipate the lofs
of Holftein, and the (hutting of the Sound.
" I have jail feen another letter from Stralfund,
which mentions that General has been hanged;
HAOGWITZ is alfo reported to have been melted."

The Hamburgh Mail, due yeßetlay, has not yet
arrived, but carious rumours, felling on the autho-
rity of flip mallets, who left the Fibe in hale for
fear of being detained by a French force expelled
there, arc in circulation.
When theft verde came away it was underßood
the French were in polrellion of Hanover, and a
(mall corps had arrived at Burgßode, two polls from
Stade. The Hanoverian polliltions have refurned
their red uniform ; and the (entry boxes, which the
PrufGans had painted blue, have been painted black
by the Hanoverian Adminiftration.
The circulation of the Pruffian money, which was
enforced in Hanover Sy a Decree of his Pr ufrian Ma.
jelly, has ceafed fince the refult of the battle of the
14th became known in that Electorate.
The Senate a Hamburgh have, by direfiinn of
the French Relident there, ordered the Prultan re-
cruiting party to quit that city. The arms of his
Majelly have likewife been terni,ved from the doors
of the feveral Priam; ellablanients these.
Great nombe,s of women and children have been
fent fi om Magdeburgh, by the Elbe to Hamburgh.
Magdeburgh is filmed in a plain, and water lies
fo near the furface, as mull gscatly retard any works
that the enemy may undertake BRAM' it.
It apretrs that the Proffian and &UM regiments
which paired through Gottingen on the ;MN ts;th,
and wilt ult. marched in the bell and moll eonneaed
order, accompanied by a heavy train of artillery.
We are informed that there is not a veflige re•
morning of the village of Auerllault, where the battle
of the ,4th was fought.
Althvugh the Elellor of Saxony continues to Wide

A fcarcity bordering on famine prevails in Franco-
nia. Frefh troops trim the interior of France daily
crops the Rhine, to reinforce their army in Germany.
All the treafure, public records, Arc. were removed
horn Berlin to Stettin, previous to the arrival of the
French at the former.

Tbc Dachals of Brunfwick•Oels has arrived atHam-
burgh. with a crowd of Pruffian and Saxon fugitives
of dillinaion.

The reigning Duke and Ducbefs of Orange. and
the Hereditary Prince of Orange (fitter to the late
King of PruiEa), the Hereditary Print, fs of Btanf-
wick, aad Prince Augullus, have arrived at Roarbck.
The Printers of Orange, on receiving the news of her
hatband being made prifoner by the French at Er-
furt, was prematurely taken in labour, and delivered
of a deal child.

The Hereditary Prince, and the Ductal's Dowager
of Weimar, are at Schwerin.

Mon of the French troops in Upper Italy and Ve•
nice have marched to Naples, where the infurgents
continue unfubdued, and, it is added, on fome recent
occafions, have been victorious.
Saturday a Captain WHITS, who was taken by a
French privateer off Lowcfloft, on the 7th ult. and
carried into Dunkirk, artired in town from Hien-
chants on the Erns, having cffeEled his efcape thro'
Holland. He reports that he faw a letter at Emb..
den, on Sunday, from a Commiffara with the Dutch
army in Hanover, dated the z6th, which (fated that
a large body of Ruffian cavalry arrived at Kalifch,
in PrufGan Poland, tat the zoth September, and con-,
tinned its route to Burcka and Liffa ; that another
column had, on the z3d, reached Oelffe, four pulls
from Brcflaw, and that Wartenberg, Kempen, Weil•
kie, Widawa, and all the towns from thence to War-
law, were crowded with Ruffians advancing to the
theatre of war.

It is Paid that the French have fent a corps to take
pnffcffion of Swedith Pomerania. This intelligence'
is likely to prove true, if the event has not already
taken place. Stettin, it is likewife Paid, is lnveflcd
by the French, and about to be bombarded. There
are fevers' thoufand Prullian troops (hut up in it.—
They belonged, it is fuppofed, to the retreating army
under Prince Hones Loma.

There are reports brought by perfons jut% arrived
from the Continent, that a confiderable body of Ruf-
fians had attually joined the Prnffians. This we !Call
be very happy to confirm, but it is certainly prema-
tore. By Mir time, perhaps, fome part of the Ruffians
may have joined. With refpedl to the Ruffian army
of the advance, of which we have fo frequently heard,
no very precife or authentic information has yet been
received.

It is raid that BONAPARTI has aaully conferred, by
an Imperial Decree, the Duchy of Brunfwick on
Idarthal Sooz.r. We hardly believe it. He may
take poffefflon of the Duke's territories, but to create
a new French Duke by the fame title, would be Come-
what too much.

Saturday a number of letters were received at the
rod Office from Varel, Bremen, &s. brought by the
Hope, Martha, Three Brothers, &c. We have Peen
feveral of them, from which we have made a few ex-
traSs ; but they do not lumina aey fatisfaeory infor-
mation, as to the pofitions of the Pruffian armies.
In the battle of the t4th, the Prudians and French
feveral times tame in con( x& ; and on every occarion
the French gave way. This fa& we colleet from a
letter. which notices the gafconading accounts in the
French Journals of the atchievements of their caval-
ry. In that memorable fight, a marked Saxon bat-
tery made dreadful havock among the French, whole
Ids is reprefented to have been very eonfiderable.

The magazines which the French took at Hoff,
were fufficient for the [apply of their army for feveral
days. Three hundred waggons were employed to
remove them to the head quarters.
A letter from Riga, of the 7th 011ober, received
by a mercantile houfe in the City on Saturday, lays,
" Yeflerday twenty thnufar,d of our troops marched
" through this place; and this day eighty thoufand
" more marched through ; all to join the Pruffian
" Army againa the French."
A letter from Hamburgh, dated Nov. I, rays—
.' The terror incpired by the French arms cannot be
eafily dercribed. It has been confiderably increafed
by the ignorance which prevails of the defigns and
refources of his Pruffian Majefty. Of the force which
he has Ilill with him, or he may enabled to called,
we can form no cones opinion. For a week paft
we have received no letters from Rtiffia, Pruffia,
or Saxony, the mails ditpatched from hence (or there
part: having been fent back, and the ['ruffian !ln-
a-ice having given notice that 'to letters tot them

" It is now akertained that the *plisse returned
by the Emperor Napoleon to the Duke of Bruntwiek's
folieitation for having the neutrality ()ibis territories
acknowledged was, that the Doke, by being a Ge-
neral in the fervice of Pruffia, bad deprived bimf it
of rai claims and pretenrions as au independent Prince
—the King of Holland had taken poffetwo of Ofaa-

bruck In his own name. The whole of the Briar,
vac!s either here or lying in the river between this
putt and Blankenefe, including the Taft arrivals from
London, Hull, and Leith, does not conlift of more
than nineteen. The mails from this place of the 24th
and aBth ult. for PrufGa, Raffia, &c. have been
brought back, and this morning the poll mailer gave
regular notice that he cannot any longer take charge
of letters for there countries."
