No farther official accounts have been received
from the theatre of war ;—but they are expeEted
hourly. They are looked for with confiderable
anxiety, as the accounts hitherto received of the
movements on the 26th December are found, when
all the circumflances arc compared, very deficient in
many particulars. For inftince, it is difficult to un-
derftand what is meant by General KAMINSKOY leav-
ing the army, and going to Ofirolenfka, as Rated by
General BINNINGSEN, when almoß the whole French
army, or at leaß five capital c..rps of it, was, on the
36th of December, within the circuit of a few leaguer;
and dole on the Ruffian polib ? What could Ka-
VENSKOT leave the army for ? Did he go to bring
up reinforcements, or to meet an attack made in ano-
ther quarter ? The 46. h Bulletin fays, that on the
evening of the 25th, Marfhals BERNADOTTE, NEY,
and Bess:sass, were on the road to Grodno. Thele
corps were not in the aElions, either with BaNNINGSIN
or Buxwovnsw, and therefore it is pi Bible there may
have been another ateti6n, in which General Ka.
sesssitoy himfelf was engaged, and of which we
bave not yet heard the refult.

We underftand that acoounts were yenerdaY, or
the evening before, received by Government, which
come down to the 29th December ; but not being
official, it has been judged prudent not to give them
any official publicity. From what we have been able
to learn, they are In far fatislaftory that at that time
the French had gained no advantage over our Ally.
underftand that after the a&ion or aaions on
the 26th, NAPOLEON affembled a Council of War, in
Which it was refolved to renew the battle as quickly
aspoffible, and, to animate the men for conteft, a
double portion cf brandy was immediately ordered
to be given to each foldier. Whether the men were
already exhaufled beyond the power of loch an
auxilliary to recruit their (lrength without the aid
of natural reft, or whether the !Emulating power
of the brandy was fpent before the necelTaty or-
ders foi aft ion could be given, is no' . known—
but when they were made known to the troops, in.
{lead of being obeyed, they caufed fuel) univerfal
murmuring, that it was judged pendent to change
the order into a command to retreat, rather than
hazard the ri(k of an ablaut:: mutiny among the
army. This is the real caufe of the change in NA..
oLFotes fyflem, which led to the flaternent in the
!aft French bulletins, that the campaign was now
terminated, and the troops ordered into quarters.

It is reported that Earl Sr. ViuccriT will foon

A BALLAD.

IY JOHN MAYNt.

Poor WILLIAM was landed at bonny DUmbarton.
Where the ftrrit., rE2l4ocltlontond ran Into the fea :
At home, in fweet Ireia 1: he left MARY MAR ru
With a child at ber foot, and a babe on her knee.
The Regiment march'd off when the paff.:7t wa. over;
The route was for England, by lgnd all the w ty ;
No, never to halt; but, at Ramfgate,or Dover,
Embark in the vefftis that were in the Eq.

Fond MART, the while, in her fpirit quit broken,
Difturb'd in her fleep, and perpleed in her mind,
No letter from WILLIAM, no tidings, no token,
Refolv'd, at all hazards, her Heto to find.
0 ! what, in this world, can deter a true Lover
It is not long journies by land or by fea
'Tween hope and defpair, in a boat without cover,
She crofed to Port Patrick from Donrghadee !
The Ira arc true to Humanity's claims,
And the Scots and the Englilh arc never unkind;
Poor MARV found friends from the Boyne to the Thames,
As fhe trudc'd with her babes in a wallet behind !
Arriv'd at the Coaft—by h.r forrowful tale,
She foften'd the Captain to let her on board;
And never, O! never, did Mariner fail
With a couple like Wrztrast to MART reitoed!

When be prrfed to his bofom his Infants and wife,
The Sailors gyve way to a tear, and no more ;
The Soldiers danc'd round to the drum and the fife,
And plaudits wet-- heard from the people on fhore :
Then away went the fleet—and, failing with glee,
May Glory, in battle, be ever at haat; ;
May Britons live happy, united, and free,
Supreme on the Ocean, uncompieril by Land !
