Ir

counts of a less-pleasing nature have been brought by
the Charlotte pilot cutter, which arrived at Harwich
yesterday from Heligoland, with dispatches for Go-
vernment. By this cutter twenty-five passengers ar-
rived, including the Messenger.
If we may credit the accounts from Harwich,
brought by this vessel, Lunenburgh is once mars in
the possession of the French. It would appear that
the Duke of Auzarravr (Davoust) hearing of Ge.
neral &lowan's defeat, instantly dispatched .5000
men from Magdeburg, and followed in person next
day, at the head of 10,000 more. The Russian ad-
vanced guard not being able to make head against
such a force retired, and DAVOUST entered the town,
where he immediately commenced a most anguinary
massacre of the patriotic inhabitants in cold blood.—
Monetan, it is said, was not killed, as formerly stated,
but taken prisoner, and severely wounded.
By the same arrival we are informed, that General
VANDAMME has advanced from Holland, with a
corps, to support General ST. CYR; and has reached
Bremen.

The inhabitants of Hamburgh, and indeed of the
whole of Brunswick and Hanover, are described as
glamorous for arms. The Hamburghers lately ob-
tained a supply in an unexpected manner. A vessel
which was dispatched from Bremen to Magdeburghl
with 4000 stand of arms, and ammunition in propor-
tion, has been carried into Hamburgh by the master
and crew, who overpowered the few French soldiers
appointed to guard the vessel, and threw them over-
board. Dantzic still holds out.

Count BERNSTOFF, the Danish Minister, is on his
way to this Country—he arrived at Cuxhaven a week
ago, and a packet has been sent from Heligoland for
his reception.

SECOND EDITION.

STAR-OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK.

The Dispatches received by Government from He.
ligoland state, on the authority of letters and papers
from Hamburgh, received on the eve of the depar.
ture of the packet, that the Austrian army in Volhy.
Ilia, amounting to 80,000 men, had joined the Rus-
sians, and commenced operations against the French.
The same accounts add, that the Cabinet of Vienna
has dispatched an army of 100,000 men into Italy.

The French General GRERIER has been defeated
with great loss at Magdeburgh, and the movement of
DAVOUST upon Luneburg, is reported to have been
occasioned by GRENIER'S defeat.

Our letters from Portugal inform us, that there
was lately a grand spectacle at Ciudad Rodrigo, on
the installation of Sir GALBRAITH LOWRY COLE. The
PalaGe there was superbly fitted up for the occasion.
The Marquis of WELLINGTON gave a grand dinner,
with a ball and supper, and there was much of that
magnificence and shew which so much delight the Spa-
niards and Portuguese. On the arrival of his Excel-
lency the Duke of CIUDAD RODRIGO, Commander-in-
Chief of the Spanish armies, he was received with every
military honour by the Governor and garrison. He
arrived about five in the afternoon, and, after hastily
dressing, the ceremony of the Installation was per-
formed in the presence of an immense concourse of
Officers, Spanish, Portuguese, and English. There
not being a junior Knight, of the Order of the Bath
present, Sir G. COLE was introduced from the upper
part of the Hall in the most graceful manner by
his Serene Highness the Prince of ORANGE, when the
honour was conferred in due form, and Sir G. COLE
retired, receiving the congratulations of all his friends.
This gallant Officer is deservedly very popular with
the Army. The tables at dinner and supper displayed
every luxury, and the wines were rich and in great
abundance.

At the ball there was a very great display of Spa-
ni.:h and Portuguese beauty, there being but few
English ladies present. It is a curious fact, that
many families came to this ball from Salamanca and
the neighbouring country ; the French, with their
6:sual gallantry, not wishing to interrupt the amuse-
*lent of the ladles.

For other particulars relative to the operations in
the Peninsula, see our Army news in the next column.

Tuesday the Duke of CUMBERLAND, and a select
party, dined with the PRINCE RECENT.
Yesterday Viscount CAS rLEREAcn had an audience
of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House.
A Flag of Truce arrived on Tuesday at Deal,
from the Coast of France. The Officer on board is
said to have proceeded to London, with dispatches
fcr the Austrian Minister now here.
Thursday a German, a Colonel in the French ser-
vice, on his parole at Abergavenny, attempted to fol-
low the dishonourable example of so many of his fel-
low soldiers, and effect his escape, assisted by two
=►en who conveyed him away in a cart ; fortunately,
however, he was pursued, and taken with his conduc-
tors. The parties were lodged in Monmouth gaol,
and the two men have since been ordered up to Lon-
don for examination.
It is not uncommon for a set of qui tam informers
to go about endeavouring to procure unwary printers
to print band-bills, or advertisements, of fictitious
horse-races, in which prizes of less value than £5O
are offered to be run for. The trade in general,
therefore, and particularly printers in the country,
should be aware, that by the Act 13 Geo. 11. cap.
19, every printer who shall advertise any plate, prize,
&c. of less value than 58.50, to be run for by horses,
incurs a penalty of £lOO.

At the commenceinent of a campaign Which pro-
mises to be the most active, and will be the most de-
cisive of any that we have yet had in the Peninsula,,
it may be agreeable to the friends of the numerous
gallant officers in the Peninsula to know the disposi-
tion of the troops.
