Yeflerday, after our Paper was at prefs, three
Danifh Mails artived, bringing Hamburgh and Al-
tona papers to the z6th, and laft night we received
Paris papers to the z4th and Dutch to the 29th ult.
They bring, as might be expeCted, moft important
intelligence, efpeciAlly the laft mentioned, which
prefent abftrats of the 56th, 57th, and 53th Bulletins
of the French army. They are drawn up evidently
with a ftudied obliurity,but [Lill the leading falls they
relate, though difguifed, are fo prominent that they
can hardly Le trifonderftood.
The battle on the 4th ult. was only a rrelude to a
loin of bloody confliets, which did not terminate
before the Bth, on which day there was a moft dread-
ful engagement, which, according to the French ac.
counts, terminated in their favour. But they them-
(elves admitted, that the advantage: gained, were too
dearly purchafed with the blood of fo many brave men.
They Rate the Ruffians to have loft between the
tit of February and the 9th, from ta,ooo to 35,00,
pt ifoners, as many killed and wounded, 18 flandards
and 45 rieces of cannon. Their own lofs they efti-

mate at 1,900 killed and 5,700 wounded : among the
latter, Marthals AUCIERF AU and LASNES, Generals
GARDANNE and LATOUR MAI:BOURG—among the
former, CORBINEAU, one of NAP .LEON'S Aides-de-
Camp, and Colonel POPPENNCIM, of the Bavarian
Light-hot le.

It is rather fingular that the French, drone; they
boall of having taken fifteen thoufand prifoners, do
not give the names of any of the Ruffian Officers
killed or taken prifoner. This furnifhes a thong pre-
fumption againa the accuracy of their Ratements,
and we have no doubt that the Ruffian accounts,
when they arrive, will (hew that the French have
gained no fAid advantage from thefe dreadful and
fanguinary cnnilifts in which fuch an imtnenfe num.
ber of human creatures have been dearoyed.

The Bulletins tell us that the French army hat
gone again into winter quarters. This is exaelly what
they Rated after the battle of Pultufk.—Will the
Ruffians allow them now, any more than they did
then, to remain quiet ? Had they not then routed and
deflroyed the RufGan army as they boat% to have done
now—and probably with as little truth.

It appears clearly to have been BoaAraara's ob-
jat to cut off the Ruffian army which had advanced
towards the Viflula, and it is even Paid that BERRA*
DOTTE'S retreat was a feint to draw the Ruffians into
a fnate. Be that as it may, BONAPAR 'YE collated his
army, and fell in great force upon the left wing of
the Ruffians, eluting them in towards the
He affembled the different corps of NEP, Aucs-
ItiatUs Souvr, with Muaar's and the Imperial
Guard, and alfo Davausr's, to that nearly the
whole French army was engaged. LARNE* was
perfonally engaged ; but it is laid his corps was
not there. Bsartavorm's corps is not mentioned.
The preffure of the French was upon the left of the
Ruffian, and if their maccuvres had fucceeded, the
retreat of the latter would have been cut off. But
their refifiance was fuch as to defeat the projett of

ful advantage of a drawn battle. As to pofitions or
fecurity, we do not think it wil', turn ou: that the
French have gained any thing ; and from even their
own Statements, we are pretty confident that if the
Ruffians loft any thing, it was not honour.
The Berlin Telegraph Baler, that on the rtth of
February Martha LEFEBYRI gained tome advantage
over General Rot:Lt./Errs. It fpeaks alfo of fume fix-
eel's over a body cf Prullians, who had made incur.
lions into the neighbour hood of the Oder, and had
cut off the communication with Pufen.
It is gated, as a report, that the Ruffians and Pmf.
flans had quitted Konigfberg, and retreated to Me-
mel. We do not believe it.

It appears that the important fortrefs of Schweld-
neitz, in Silefia, has furrendered to JEROMS Botts-
PAR TS. This is like every other part of the conduit
of the Pruffians.

The Rut'flaw, ;Lig faid, are now marching from
Wallachia into Albania, with a numerous army. The
French are affembling an army, with a view of march.

to much in want of men that additional levies are
fotced in all the vaffal States. Naples, it it faid, is to

begun.

Nothing farther appears refpeeing the intentions
of the Court of Vienna.

A French officer has arrived here, who was preknt in the
battle of hylau : he defcribcs it as the molt fanguinary one that
the French were ever engaged in. The Ruffians fought with a
fury unparalleled. He makes no mention of the lofs of the French

EXTRACT OF ♦ PRIVATE. LETTER FROM ALTONAI
FEBRUARY 24.

" According to letters received from Koninfberg, Bonaparte has
employed all the latter part of his ftay at Warfaw, in endeavours
to detach the King of Pruffia from his alliance, by offering hint
an honourable peace. a: has alfo ufed every means to tempt
Aultria, by the promifc of new territorial acquittions, to join hint
agaialt Ruffia, and affilt the French to exptl the kuffians front
Turkey Bath propofala have been molt decidedly rejeeted by
both parties.

1, The report that the Auftrian Gen. Vincent is commiffloned
to negociate a peace. as mediator for the belligerent powers, is ear•
tainly without foundation. The General i; only charged to obtain
Bonaparte's final anfwer with regard to the Auftrian part of Pia-
land, viz. Gallicia and Sodomeria. Private advice; from Warfaw,
dated the 14th loft. fay that Napalevn has till now refufed to et-
plain himfelf explicitly, and only amufes the Auftrian general with
fubterfuges.
" Baron Vincent, difgufted with this evafive condu!i, has regu-
larly made every forttight a report to his Court. ou which account
the Auftrian Cabinet has ordered all the troops which were to
,be fent to the Turtifb parts of Hungary, to break up from Upper
Hungary for Gallicia, where there is now a furce of nearly one
hundred thoufand regular troops. Strong cordons are lftewife
drawn along the frontiers of Bolcmil and Moravia. Bonaparte,
finding that he could make no impreffion on General Baron Vincent
and being obliged to leave his winter quarters in confequence of the
alarming movements, referred the Baron to M. Talleyrand, who
is to amufe him, if poffible, till his return.
" Two defigns againft the life of Napoleon, it is reported, have
been difeovered at Warfaw—the one was by a General. who, ore
being fent for by the defpot, ibot hirnfelf; the other ;els by a Polifh
lady, who was dete.fted by Fouche, the Minifter of Pace, with
the dagger in her &eves."

A report prevailed at Gottenburgh on the z3d ult.
jua as the Mail was leaving it, that the French, haw
ing attempted to carry Otralfund by ltorm, were
beaten off with very great lofs.
