DEFEAT OF THE FRENCH,

IN 'CONTINUATION /ROM TNt PRIMING PAGN.

,MMIOM,'

In the afternoon of Saturday, the following Note
Was fent from Lord Howices Office,to the different
departments of Government,

"BULLETIN, JAN. 24, Igo?.

“ Lord Notelet has juft received intelligence, of the truth of
which he has not the leait doubt. that an anion was fought between
the Ruffians and French, on the e7th of December laR, which
continued dace fucceffive days, and on the lait of which the French
retreated, with the lots of 43,000 flain, and 83 pieces of cannon.
The fcene et adtion was at Oftrolenika, fiaty or feventy miles
from Warier. The enemy made their retreat to within eight
land of that place, and were alto entrenching tbcmfelves at
Niarienburgh.” _
In the accounts which we poblifhed on Saturday,
our Readers would obferve, that the French were
boating of having obtained confiderable advantages
over the Ruffians. The fad appears to be this. In
the beginning of the conteft on the 27th December,
the left wing of the French army made Come impref-
fion on the right wing of the Ruffians, but on the two
following days the left wing of the Ruffians fully fuc-
ceeded in repairing the lofs their right had fuftained,
and gained a complete vidory, the French having
ioa 40,000 men in killed and prifoners, befides 8o
pieces of cannon, almoft all they had been able to
drag along.
NAPOLEON, it may be expelled, will endeavour to
glofs over their defeat, and to hide it from the people
under his rule ; but this he will find to be impoffible.
Indeed, we are able to announce, that already it is
very generally known in Holland. A fmall veffel
from Rotterdam arrrived off Dover on Saturday,
which left the former place on Thurfday. She brings
intelligence, that it was very generally circulated
that a dreadful battle had bnen fought between the i
Ruffians and French, in which the latter had expe-
rienced fo fevere a defeat, that Navot.som was re-
treating from Poland, with the remains of his army,
as fall as he poffibly could.
The very circumftance of the Ruffians having
foiled Boum-re, far more than beating him, will
give new energy to the Prnffians. The refources of
the Allies will multiply, and the difficulties of Bo-
NAPARTII will increafe. The inhabitants of Germany
would rife as one man the moment they got any rap-
port. The Heffians already had rifen before thefe
events, and the infurreftion would be general after
they were known. It will be impoffible, therefore,
for Bowarra to remain in the conquered provinces,
outlets he can defeat the Ruffians.
In thefe circumftances if the Aultrians would come
into aEtion, BONAPAITB could hardly efcape. No
preconcerted plan could ever enable the Auftrians
and Ruffians to ad at one moment, as Bomerairra
could always have anticipated their junEtion ; but
now events have given the Auftrians all the benefit
of the Ruffians, and at a time when BONAPARTS is at',
a diflance from France ; and, if they negled this op-
portunity, they can never expel another fo favour.
able.

Holland is at this moment deffitute of troops,
every French and Dutch foldier having been fent
away to reinforce the grand army. Murmurs are
very general ; and fince the foldiers were taken
away, there murmurs are more loud in Holland than
they have been for years. The taxes laid on by King
Lou is are fo exceffive, that they can hardly be
colleCted by any means. _ _

The embargo which had for Come time been laid
on all veffels in the Dutch ports was taken off on
Sunday fe'nnight. We may therefore now expel to
receive intelligence from Holland more frequently
than we have been able to do for force time pall.
