In the &rut of Friday we Rated that. the Ameri-
can fhip Diana, which had arrived at Falmouth from
Roehefort, had brought accounts that the French
had gained fome advantages over the Ruffians in Po.
land. We hoped the intelligence would prove tut•
founded, but we are forty .to Rate, that it was in
Come degree confirmed by Hamburgh Papers re-
ceived on Saturday afternoon, containing the 40,
4scl, and 43d Bulletins of the French Army. Thefe
we have this day laid before our Readers, with fome
other extrads.

We need hardly add, that notwithfianding the
complexion of the French accounts, too much impor-
tance ought not to be attached to them ; for it is
known to be at prefent the fyftem of the Rufllans,even
when they attack, to do it only with the view of har-
raffing the enemy, and with an intention to retreat
when they have done fo, without urging their move-
ments in fuch a manner as to hazard a general en-
gagement. _ _

In fire, it appears, that though the enemy in fe-
veral divilions have croffed the Viltuli, no affair of
moment has yet taken place. Indeed the enemy Item
to will: to a& only upon the defenfive—no very fa-
vourable fymptom of the prefent hate of their army,
however much they may boaft. They are pretty
clofely concentrated, and are throwing up works for
the protection of the bridges which they have eftab-
lifhed over the Viflula. - •
