In the STAR of yefterday we laid before our Rea-
ders as large an extra& from the details given in the
Hamburgh Corrdoadent of the events at Conflanti-
nople as our time and limits would allow. This day
we have given the whole a place in our columns,
being too important, though publiffied under French
influence, to be withheld from the Britilh
while we are without difpatches from Mr. ARBUTH•
Noi or the Biitifh Admiral. Should the fait prove
.to. be:as Aated in the. French accounts, that our fleet
.lay.thcrc.fot.kmany days performing nothing but
threats; allowing the•Torks in the mean time to carry
on their gang of defence till at raft they became fo
'lOrmidable ,as to render it prudent for onr force to
'retire, it, will be difficult to find an entire for fuch
condo.. But we can form no correA opinion on
the: afair till we hear from the &ha Commander.
I We are not, hOwever, with Out Tome hopes that the
when. fully known, will prove to be different
from what the enemy have Rated.

Since oar fall we have received Hamburgh papers
to tbe-t6th, but they add nothing to the intelligence
already received front Con(lantinnple.
It now appears certain that the Emperor A Lew-
lila has quitted Peteriborgh to join the army. He
-rearhed_Aleasel _on ,the ad infant: This fait is men-
tioned is the following letter :

ELSINEUR, APRIL 14, 1807.
" Our information from Memel announces the arrival there of
the Emperor Atexatioaa, on the id Wt. and that it is the in•
tendon of the two Monarchs of lt.uffia and Praia& to unite their
refpeEtive Armies.
" Mel:wave Swedes are making great progrefs In Meeklen-
burgh; which plate they have taken poifeElon of, and are on their
march to Lubeck.

" Ten Thoufand of the inhabitants of there Countries hate

" Our ptivate letter from Peterlborgh, fay, that the Mar
Luis Dove LAIL s, having appeared at a review of the Ruffian Troops'
in a curious dref., was Orangely accofted by the Ruffian Emperoi
It is alto Rated, that the Marquis had his tail cut off by a Ruffian
(Oldies., for prefuming to appear in a blue great coat, with his fah
tied round his body."
Other letters from Elfineur Rate, that the Swedes
have occupied not only Lubec but Hamburgh. That
the greater part of the enemy's troops in there places
had been marched away as reinforcements to the
Grand Army in Poland is well known ; but as there
letters are dated the 13th and thofe of the following
day do not mention the fait, we give it no credit.
The Koningfierg Gazette, of the 26th of March,
contains the official report of General Bern/tosser,
relative to the battle of Eylau, of which fo many
accounts are already before the public. The General
Rates, that the Ruffian Army, in confequence of
various detachments made from it, was only 70,000,
while the French Army amounted to sto,ooo. The
battle, which began about three o'clock in the after-
noon of the 7th of February, tailed till midnight of
the following day ; the lots of the enemy, rays the
General, according to their own account, amounted
to 30,000 killed and 12,000 wounded, 2000 were
made prifoners, and twelve eagles taken. Our lots
confilts of x 2,000 killed and 7000 wounded.—Four-
teen French Generals were killed or wounded; nine
of our Generals were wounded, but moll of them fo
Rightly, they they have already rejoined the army.

BAUADOES, FEBRUARY i 6.

that a force of 8000 vagabonds of every defcription,
were alterabled under General ERWOUTF at Guade-
loupe, for the purpofe of attacking Antigua and
Dominica, the tsth regiment and two companies
Of artillery were embarked, but they roan returned

wife [acted feverely at Antigua, and the 16th at
Surinam. It is reported that the isth will be fent
to relieve them, General BOWYER witting to have

64th are more healthy. Grenada and Trinidada
are in excellent health alio.
