The RUMIAN AMBASSADOR had an audience of the

Yesterday the Earl of LIVERPOOL and Lord CA!.

A Boatd at Greenwich was yesterday held at the

an engagement had taken place between the Allied
Armies and the French (no date mentioned), in which
the latter had sustained a loss of TEN THOUSAND
MEN; and that, during the engagement, the Em-

PRUSSIA, were present.

for the murder of Edward Clifford, in consequence
of which the final examination is postponed until
next week. _ _ _

Another letter from Deal, which we have seen,
adds, upon the same 'authority, that ten thousand
Dutch troops have gone over to the Allies ; but how,
where, or when this event was developed, is left to
conjecture. We have had repeated instances of the
tendency of the Dutch to exaggerate the losses of
their master, but we fear they have not spirit enough
to desert him,

Extract of a letter from the neighbourhood •f
Dantzic, dated July 30,1813 :•••-•4‘ The want of every
thing within the town is increasing every day. They
have even got no medicines for the sick soldiers..
There are now no less than 43,000 men before the
town ; eighty Russian gun-boats, formerly belonging
to the Swedish Scheeren fleet, arid several bomb
ships, ate lying in the Roads ; twenty gun-boats are
building at Elbing. During the first six weeks of the
Armistice, the garrison only got meat for thirteen
days, on account of the shameful capture of Los.
zow's corps. After the prolongation of the Armil
stice, the delivery of meat was resumed; it was, how.
ever, furnished very sparingly."
The siege of Dantzic is now to be pressed with vi.
gour. That fortress has hitherto been but loosely
blockaded by a Russian corps. It is, perhaps, by
this time, placed in a state of close siege— a Britisn
train of battering cannon, consisting of ISO pieces
having been forwarded up the Baltic, for the purpose
of mounting the batteries, with a detachment of 'he
royal artillery corps, under the command of Major
MACDONALD, sufficiently numerous to the gunnels!
duty, the less important and labouring part of the
management of the guns to be performe4 by the
allied troops.
A private Letter from Stralsund, dated August 18,
says—•" I avail ;myself of this opportunity of a Rus'
sian Courier, from head-quarters, to apprise you of
the state of our expedition, consisting of about 8500
men, under the command of general Guns. We

lion, but the CnowN Puma has so strongly urged the
advance of the British troops, that our General has,
I believe, applied for permission to take the field. I
conversed yeste?day with an Officer, high in rank, in
the Hanseatic or newly raised Legion, and I am sorry
to observe that his account of the discipline of these
mops is not very favourable. They are deficient in
Officers, and those they have, have obtained their rank.
from family connection and their situation in life, and
not from actual service and personal experience; but,
be add., that the men are very fine, and might, if
well officered, form excellent soldiers. The Russian
and Prussian armies are said to be very strong, and
in high order. We have received from England a
supply sufficient for kur months; but we can pur.

We hardly know what to make of the various ru-
mours that are in circulation. We have just been
informed that tl.ere are several letters in the city
from the French coast, 4tating that the French
in the North have sustained a great defeat, and that
10,000 Hatioverians have gone over to the Allies.—
This seems evidently to be the same report as one
mentioned above, but sukstituting Hanorerians for
Dutch.

That the campaign in the North has opened with
some great events, and that these have seen disas-
trous to the French arms, we can scarcely doubt;
for it is rumoured, that BoN4FARTE's rejection
of the Austrian Ultimatum has rendered him ex-
tremely unpopular in France, 4nd disturbances are
even said w have broken opt at Paris in consequences
Whatever truth there may be in this rumour, cer-
tainly suspicions must attach to the continued silence
of the Paris Papers on the subject of the Austrian
Declaration of War—while the secret meetings of the
Conservative Senate augur that something unfaiour-
able has happened. It cannot be for-gotten that a
conspiracy broke out at Paris during the famous
retreat from Moscow* which occasioned similar
meetings.

A letter from the French coast, dated August SO,
states-4, We have obtained some success near Lu-
beck, but we have not been so fortunate elsewhere."
The above is certainly at variance with the statements
in the French Papers. The Allies are there said to
have been driven from all their position's on the Bober
ctn the 21st ; on the 19th, they were driven out of
