WARSAW, NOVEMBER 24.

On the 16th, 17th, and 18th instant, the Grand
Duke Constantine, accompanied by a number of Ge-
nerals and Officers ot• the two nations, reviewed•se-
veral divisions of Polish troops, whom he made to
pertorm the new evolutions. The Prince expressed
his astonishment and satisfaction at the progress
made by the troops, and especially the light infantry.
BERLIN, DECEMBER 6.

An English author calculated, in 1805, that the
English, at that time, exported to Germany to the
annual amount o• twelve millions sterling in manu-
factures, and in %Vest and East-India produce. As
England purchases very few of the productions of
the German soil, and still fewer of its manufactures,
it may easily be conceived what a large mass of spe-
cie was thus withdrawn from Germany. The late
fairs at Leipsic and Frankfort furnished a new spe-
cimen of a similar kind; the sales of English mer-
chandize there amounted to more than twelve mil-
lions. The Germans hope that by wise measures
their Sovereigns will put a period to this drain of
specie, as well its to the luxury of dress.

4, SIRI have the misfortune to inform
loss of gun vessel No. 160, commanded b
Paine, jun. sailing master. He svas from
with convoy, and about eight leagues from
v;l:en taken. The enemy had ten boats of

descriptions, and a sloop fitted out as a ten _
men. They were manned from the frig ite !Acetic.
mouian, and other vessels names unknown, hair&
on board about 200 men. They entered S 7. Andrei-tic
Sound on the night of the .sth inst. ; came up with
the gun-boat about three o'clock on tha morning cf
the 6th, and carried her by boarding, after a distant
cannonade, and a discharge of musketry for 20 mi-
nutes. Four of the convoy were likewise taken, two
of which were destroyed, in consequence of their
running on shore.—Mr. Paine had but toil ty souls on
board, of which 16 only were fit for duty, the re.
sidue on the sick list. The enemy landed all the
sick and wounded, except Mr. Paine, fiftecat
number, on a sand bank near the bar of St. An.
drew's Sound, a situation from which they could not
extricate themselves but et the .risk of their lives, and
one of them was drowned in the attempt : those that
could not swim were obliged to remain on the bank,
and lutist have bees drowned had nor timely rel cl
beengiven them by a. fewinhabitaats formerly of INs
place, who had lately settled on Cumberland, who
took them off at a moment when a few miaut-s wot:el
have terminated their existence. They all declare that
they could have survived but a few moments longer.
Eleven of these unfortunate men have arrived at this
place ; by their statement of the action, I hare reason
to believe that every man did his ditty on board.the
gua-boat, yet, strange to tell, we had hut three men
wounded, Mr. Paine included, who fell early in the
artian. The enemy's loss, as far as I can leain, is
about 20 killed and wouneed, of the latter a Lieute-
nant, with the loss of his arm,• and two Midshipmen,
with the loss of a hand each. The enemy was in sight
yesterday. Their orders are, I understand, to deitoy
the inlateltrade between this place and the Savannah.
I have the honour to be, with great respect, Sir, yotir
obedient servant, ‘4ll. 0. CAIIIiBELL."

BRUSSELS, DECEMBER 19:

All the English and Hanoverian officers, who
are not with their respective corps, have received or"
dcrs to repair to them as soon as possible, within
these few days. A great number are arrived at
Ostend, and others from Germany.
The army which covers our frontiers on the side of
France is daily augmented, in consequence of the
measures taken on the French frontiers. The Pros.
sian General Kleist Von Nolletidorf is still about one
hundred thousand strong.
Letters from Ghent say, that the arrival and de.
parture of Messengers and Couriers is extremely ire.
quent—the communications between the Legations
continue at Ghent. [t is belived the negotiations will
end happily, but all this is mere conjecture.
