b. the STAR of Thurfday Ita, we laid before our
Renders the abitra.g.t which appeared in the Dutch
Papers, 9f the 56th, 57th, and 58th Bulletins. This
day we have ;aimed Oleic Bulletids at kingth from
the French Journals. By comparint their contents,
cautionfly as they are drawn up, with General BEN-
a!Gs WS account., it appears plAittly that the French
aflually futtained a revere defeat in the battle of
tylau, on the Rth ult. Indeed in all affairs, from
the beginning of the month to that decifive day, the
Ruffians gained immortal honour by their heady
tondua and manly courage.
The French ilate, that in the battle of the 4.th.—
`' the enemy's cavalry were repeatedly charged, but
'tie ohitacles prefented by the unevennefs of the
!rood operated againtt the vffeas of our cavalry."—

That is in plain language, they were completely
foiled in their attempt. In the account of the battle
of Waterdorf, it is limply Rated, that " the Duke of
BERG found 8 or 9000 of the enemy's cavalry before
him. Several attacks were made, and the enemy re-
treated." That is, leveret unfuccefsful attacks had
been made before the Ruffian corps thought proper
to retreat, for the enemy does not even pretend to fay,
that they drove them out of their pofrtion, but merely
that they retreated. In there fkirmilhes, three French
Generals and two Colonels were wounded.
The Fifty eight Bulletin Rates, that the battle of
Eylau was begun on the 7th, by Martha' Sousa., who
attacked an eminence, which defended the entrance
of that place, but that at the fame moment a column
of Ruffian cavalry made a charge upon the left of the
18th, and threw fame of its battalions into diforder.
The BnUetin alto mentions, that the town was moil
obflinately defended, and that, after a murderous
affair on both fide, the pnfition was not carried till ten
o'clock at night. Such is the French account of the
battle of the 7th. The decifive battle, however, took
place upon the Sth, when the Ruffians commenced
the baffle at day break, by an attack on the divifion
of St. Hilaire. It appears that the attack of the Rut:
cans threw two of the French divifions into great
-confution. It is then mentioned, that a heavy fall of
fnow concealed both armies for half an hour, but that
as fuon as the weather cleared,theDuke of BERG at the
head of the cavalry. and Martha! Bassi sass at the
head of the Imperial Guards, attacked the Ruffian
main body. This is reprefented as a very bold ma-
nceuvre, but it is Rated in the Bulletin to have been
rendered necrfary by the circumflances ill which our co.
lumns were thenplaced." This fhews clearly that the battle
wasin favourof the Ruffians from the beginning. This
attack of the Duke of BRKG is reprefented to have
been to vigorous, that it would have decided the
viaory, if a wood, and tome other obtlacles of the
ground, had not prevented it. It is, however, con.
felled, that it did not decide the viaory ; but that,
' although they had pallid through two lines of the
ltufliaw, there was a third to receive them. The
victory, however, is Rated to have been gained by
DAvousr's appearance on the heights, ind out flank-
ing the RtnliAns, who thereupon thought proper t.
retreat. It is not Rated that DavousT made any at-
tack on, but merely that he outflanked the enemy.

There cannot remain a doubt from all the circum-
llarces compared together, that General 11 -ENING.
SFw has rather under-rated than exaggerated the lots
of the enemy. In the tranflation of his letter pnblifhed
in the Gazette, it is Rated at 12,000, but in the Ger-
man copy of the fame leiter the number is tg,ooo.
The fmallnefs of the number of prifoners taken
compared with fuch a lois in killed, is eafily Ac-
counted for. The French Bulletin, in which the
Radian foldiers bad been branded with many op-
probrious epithets, had been tranflated into their
own language, and read at the head of every
lion of the army. The foldiers, indignant at the
calumny, refolved neither to give nor take quarter
with fuch a foe, and had not their General humanely
promifed a reward of a ruble for every Frenchman
taken alive, not a prifoner would have been taken.
Some private letters by the Mail of yeßerday Rate,
that the Ruffians, on the day after the battle,. buried
ty.Boo of the French left dead bit the field, and that
the prifoners taken were 3,500.
The moll decifive point of all is, the admitted
refult of the conflid. The Rewire are in )SSOOII of
the field of battle I The French have turned back to
their winter quarter:! !
