The two Gottenburgh Mails which are now due,
may be reasonably expected to bring a confirmation
of all the agreeable intelligence from the North which
has been in circulation within these few days on the
authority of private letters.
In the mean time we are assured by a Gentleman
who has just reached town from Hamburgh, that the
Russians have obtained possession of all the horses
which the French Agents had purchased in Poland
and Prussia for re-mounting their cavalry and artil-
lery. This acquisition must prove highly important
in the prosecution of the campaign by the Russians,
as it is one which will not only augment their strength,
but proportionally embarrass and weaken the enemy•
Through the same channel by,which we have re-
ceived the above intelligence, we learn that the Rus-
sian force in Prussia and Saxony is estimated at
180,000 men, around which are daily collecting and
organizing numerous bands of patriotic Germans.
The city of Hamburgh sends 1500 men to the Le-
gion now raising in that part of Germany.
The French, it is supposed, have about 160,000
men in Germany, but in so destitute a condition, as
to be perfectly incapable of facing the Russians: they
are particularly deficient in cavalry.
The Prussians are joining the patriotic standard
with great zeal, and in numbers already sufficient to
compose a formidable army.

The Duke of CUMBERLAND, it is now said, goes for
certain to Hanover, accompanied by Baron Sr. QUM.
TIN of the 10th Hussars, Colonel HALKET of the
Getman Legion, and some other Officers. In Ha-
nover, not a Frenchman now exists : some of those
who were hardy enough to remain after the rising
of the inhabitants, were put to death in various ways.
and others were mutilated by their noses and ears
being cut off. The Students of Gottingen have en.
rolled themselves into a battalion, and by their oath
of service they are bound to put to death every French
man they meet.

We have already mentioned that a Russian uxi.
liary force was about to be employed in the Penin-
sula. The following is said to he the precise basis on
which the arrangement now stands
Admiral GREIG, the Russian Ambassador to Sicily,
stated to Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK, at an early period
of the Russian war, that the Emperor, his Master,
would, if desired, send 40,000 troops to the assistance
of the Marquis of Wewworow. An abatement was
afterwards made in this number. Lord WILLIAM
immediately transmitted the proposal to the Marquis
WELLINGTON ; and the gallant Marquis, acquiescing
in the proposal, expressed particularly his desire to
have some Russian heavy infantry ; intimating, also,
that himself would be ready to take rank in that ser-
vice. The agent was then forwarded to England,
and his message is said to have been equally agreeable
to Ministers. The matter has since, however, met
with interropt'on, and we rather suspect on the part
of the Russians, some difficulties having been started
by their Ambassador here ; so that it is doubtful
whether the measure will take efect.
