Since.* troops so gallantly obtained possession cf
the French lines, we have not heard that any kilter
operations have taken place between the two hostile
armies.
Pamplona sh7l holds out ; but its speedy surrender
h now expected, all chance of relief being, from the
rdative strength and situation of the two armies, Win-
pletely at an end.
Yesterday Marshal Beresford arrived here from
Lisbon, and immediately praceeded for head-quarters.
On the same day a violent gale of wind came on
from the north-west, in which two transports were
driven on the rocks as the entrance of this harbour,
and wrecked : fortun*ly no lives were lost on the
cccAsinn.

Tat Kuta's Accasszote.--thalday at the Stash Rube e.

Late on Saturday evening dispatches were received
from Mr. THORNTON, our Minister at the Heed-quar-
ters of the Caowx PRINCE, dated on the Bth instant.
They merely, announced the junction of General
BLUCHER'S army with that of the CROWN PRINCE, and
the advance of the Combined Armies, now 190,000
strong, towards Leipsic, whither the main body of the
French army is also moving from Dresden.
Private adtiees front Gottenburgh, 'of the 17th,
state, that on the 9th the CROWN PRINCIN Head-
quarters were at Gross Kugel, a few Getman miles
from Leipsic, which place BONAPARTE is said to have
reached on that day. He left Dresden, accor-
ding to the French Papers, on the 7th, and no
doubt took the greater part of his army with him.
—Unless, therefore, it be the policy of the Allies to
avoid a general engagement and to harass him by
sallies from particular points, he must continue to re-
treat towards the Rhine, with the Cossacks hovering
en his flanks and rear—attendants which must ne-
cessarily call up the 66 unpleasant recollections," not
unaptly alluded to in Sir CHARLES STEWART'S dis-
patches received at the same time.
Lord CATHCART'S dispatchei also contain particu-
lars of great interest, but the pressure of other matter
compels ea to abstain from all comment.

S- INTELLIGENCE
FROM THE NORTH.
Mails' item Heligoland and Gottenburgh have
arrived. Their contents are highly gratifying. There
is every previa of NAPOLEON' being as completely
foiled and wonted this year ache was last; not by a
northern winter, but by tempest much more fatal In
its prognostics.
The enslaved Nations bursting their fetters and as-
serting their independence, now hurl the thunder of
vengeance against their oppressor. Every arm is
lifting against him. Subjoined are the accounts
brought by the above Mails—they need no comment:
SURRENDER OF BREMEN.
Accounts have reached Heligoland, on the 21st,
that Bremen surrendered on the 15th, to General
Tettenborn ; that there were from 4to 500 men at
Blezane battery, mostly douaniers, and about SOO at
Carlstadt battery ; 200 at Stade, 500 at Neuhaus,
3,000 at liarburg ; and 7,000 sick, with 3,000 fit for
duty, at Haniburgh.
General Tettenborn, it was said, had sent 1,000
men to Rothenburg, against 800 French, who had
entrenched themselves thers.

" BREMEN, OCTOBER 15.
Mom the Now Amu* Gazette, of the 17th of Oct. 18131
" Yesterday, at mid-day, General Tettenborn, at
the bead of his troops, entered this city, amid the
rejoicings of the people. His march towards the
Weser, after having crossed the Elbe at Boitzen-
burg, on the 9th, was so rapid, that on the
.13th
our city saw itself very unexpectedly surrounded
by the Allied troops. When first the news arrived
here that the Cossacks were approaching ' this from
Werden, our Commaudant, Colonel Thuillier, flat-
tered himself he should be able to repel them.—
Re
had 300 men of a Swiss battalion, ssho some daps
before had entered, here, after marching froM Ham-
burg') ; and they were stationed in the suburbs at the
' eastern gate, by which the CeSSAt.ki 'were to pene-
trate: but no sooner was the artillery of the Hanse-
atic corps brought up, and some shpts fired, than the
Cossacks broke in upon them, and those not cut
loan were made prisoners. The-.troops within the
!own still continued their resistance, and several roc-
'stets were thrown by General Tettenborn, which fell
various places. Numbers of the citizens were
axiom that the gates should be opened; but they
vere forced to retire to their houses by the French
eatroles. General Tettenborn was unwilling, how.
-ver, to lay the city in ashes with his rockets, and
made preparations to storm the gates. Major Dc.
valiant, who succeeded to the command of the town
after the death of Colonel Thuillier, perceiving the
preparations made, and that he was unable to make
head against them, proposed a capitulation,
,which
was finally settled between Lieutenant-Colonel Pfuel
sad himself. The garrison, which had been wea-
kened by the loss of more than 300 men, in killed,
Nottsded, and prisoners,. were allowed freely to de.

and the cavalry to march op foot. The French civil
agents, among whom was the Prefsict, durst not de-
part without a Russian passport. The success of this
vigorous attempt upon Bremen must cause the enemy
great annoyance, and must weaken their every day

of the Allied Armies."

go We have a report here that Wirtenberg and Ba-

be the case, it will be of the utmost importance.

". A Bulletin, dated the 9th instant, is reported to
have arrived in this city, stating in substance that
General Blucher had defeated the French, and taken
2000 prisoners and 26 pieces of cannon ; and that
battle had been offered the Crown Prince, near Des.
sau, which he declined accepting.
" The Mayor of Lubeck has been brought in here,
under an escort of pas cratines.
Prince Eckmuhl was here on the 2d : it is said
that he set off in the evening for Magdebourg."

44 GOTTENBURGH, OCTOBER 21.
44 The Crown Prince's Mead-quarters are at Gor-
lite, near Halle. His intention is to join the. Aus-
trian army near Chemnitz, and attack Napoleon
his rear, between Leipzic and Dresden. The whole
of the Northern German army was in motion on the
11th, for that purpose.
14 Marshal Ney cut himself a passage through the
Allied Army at Wittenberg, and re-crossed the Elbe
at Wittenberg and Torgau ; there were, however,
no fears of his being able to advance, as General
Tauenzien was close upon him.
46 P. S.—Accounts are said to have this instant
been received, dated in the night between the 15th
and 16th instant, from Stralsund, stating, that Ney's
corps has been completely routed, and the whole of
it either killed or prisoners. No particulars are
known."

" STRALSUND, OCTOBER 14.

" Glogau has surrendered by capitulation. Gene-
ral Blucher has crossed the Elbe with 50,000 men,

was to have joined Marshal Ncy, and is in pursuit of
the flying enemy,* on the road to Leipzic.
" General Czernicheff has sent the keys of Cassel
to his Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
" LEIPZIC, SEPTEMBER 30.

" Affairs have taken a quite different appearance
here since yesterday. Towards evening the Duke of
Ragusa arrived, and immediately afterwards came
an Officer to provide quarters for the Emperor and
the King of Naples. The latter is to arrive here to-
night, and the Emperor early to-morrow morning.—
A number of troops have already entered this place
since yesterday—the guards are expected to-day. Six
thousand men of the old Guards will remain in the
City.
• It is a misfortune that the theatre of war will

cannonade was heard yesterday between Meissen and

must have taken place there." •

Dresden.

STAR-OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK.

' The following Bulletin has been issued by Govern-
ment this instant :
FOREIGN OFFICE, OCTOBER 25.

" Dispatches have been received this morning
from Sir CHARLES STEWART, dated Rothenburg, on
the 11th 'instant, which was at that time the head-
quarters of she CROWN PRINCE.

gc The combined Silesian and Northern Armies
were in the act of crossing the Seale between Halle
and Wetting and their advanced guards were alreadj
in constant communication with the light cavalry of

the Bohemian army, under PLATOIT. in the rear of
the enemy. A general engagement was expected
shortly to take place.
" Intelligence had been received at Berlin, that
on the 13th Marshal Nsv had crossed the Elbe in
the rear of the Combined Armies, under the Cnowx
PIUNCE and General BLUCHER, between Torgau and
Wittenberg.

44 Lord ABERDEEN writes from Commotau on the
9th, that Prince SCHWARTZENBEROS headquarters
*Ere then very near Leipzic, and that Generals BEN-
NIGSEN and COLLOREDO had forced the enemy's en-
trenchments at Gieshnbel, and were in advance to-
wards. Dresden."

It is reported in the City, but we know not upon
what authority, that the Allies have entered Dies.
den, where they found 164 pieces of cannon, and
24,000 sick and wounded Frenchmen.

The following is copied from the "Mona Mercury
of the 12th instant (brought by the Gottenburgh
Mail), and may be considered as of French manu-
facture :
RATZEJMUILO, OCTOBER S.
“ The enemy endeavoured, on the 6tb, to force the
passage at Bucten. He attacked this post, and
erected a battery of twelve pieces of cannon in the
village, for the purpose of taking the entrenchment
which covered the bridge in the rear. He at the
same time placed several battalions of infantry in the
houses of that village, notwithstanding a cannonade
which lasted two hours, in which upwards of 1000
cannon-shot were fired, and the continual fire kept
up by the battalion in ambush in the village; yet the
enemy could not succeed in obliging two companies
of voltigenr4 of the 30th regiment of the line, who de-
fended the bridge, to quit their post. He retired,'
after having suffered a great loss in killed and wound-
ed : on our part, four voltigeurs were killed and 12
wounded.

General Deleambres, who commands in this
neighbourhood, bestows le greatest praise on the
intrepidity of these two companies of voltigeurs.—
He particularly notices the Captains Guidert and
Hay de Soucee, and the Serjeant Sieile, who, although
wounded, would not quit his post until the enemy
had retreated.
" The enemy, at dip same time, made demon-
strations against the troops at Ratzeburg. General
Loison caused General Rome to advance with some
battalions to reconnoitre the enemy's intentions.
" The said General fell in with the Mecklenburgh
foot yagers; and General Vegesack's corps. General
Rome attacked and defeated the van-guard, making
120 prisoners, and killed or wounded twice as many
more.
" The enemy's troops which followed the van-
[guard have not proceeded on their march. Our loss
was very inconsiderable, as the enemy manoeuvred,
was cut off, and immediately thrown into disorder.
On the 7th, the enemy attacked our right wing at
Kogel with 1800 infantry, some squadrons, and six
pieces of artillery. It came to a tolerably brisk fire
of musketry, after which the enemy retired. He left
a good number of killed and wounded behind him in
the field. We suffered no loss at all.

" It was the Danes who had this small affair with
the enemy, in which they behaved with the same
bravery, of which they have given continual proofs.
" The several small attacks made by the enemy on
the SteeknitF, has cost him, according to his own con-
fession,' 700 men in killed, wounded, or prisoners.
Our loss does not amount to 40 men."

A letter from Gottenburgh, dated the 16th inst.
says : " The most violent gale ever remembered at this
port began in the night of the 13th, and continued i
the whole of the following day. The particulars of
the damage done the shipping have not yet been as-1
certained ; but it is supposed upwards of 70 sail of
the convoy lying in the roads, bound for England,
have suffered very severely, several of them being
totally lost, and others driven on shore without masts,
anchors, or cables ; a great number of them that are
not materially damaged, drove a long way up the
river, and have gone so far upon the shore, the water
being snore than five feet above its usual height. that
many of them must.unavoidably winter here. &con-
voy from Yarmouth, of about SO sail. arrived; they
met the gale off the laud, but were not damaged."
