FIFTY-EIGHTH BULLETIN.

This Bulletin is alto dated from Pruffian Eylan,'
Feb. 9. It mentions, that, on approaching that place,
the enemy were found already behind it, waiting for
our army, in order to commence a new battle, for
which both fides prepared. In the previous affairs-
which took place, three Ruffian regiments were com-
pletely cut off, but at the fame time a battalion of the
18th regiment was thrown into diforder by a Rriftlan
column of cavalry. The dragoons of Klein, however,
obferved this affair in fufficient time to relieve our
battalion ; but in Eylan, where the Raffians withed
to maintain themfelves, but which we writhed to pof-
fefs before the battle commenced, the fighting was
molt bloody ; it was ten at night before they could
be driven out of the town. They bad thrown, how.
ever, fume regiments into a church, where they re.
mained, and which they were not compelled to aban
don until after great flanghter. The night was paired
by the armies under the bare canopy of Heaven in
each other's prefence.
On the following day, by the Ertl dim ray of the
morning, the Ruffians c mmenced the attack wish a
brifk cannanade The Emperor vitited the church
which the Ruffians had defended with fo much ob-
flinacy on the day before. He made Mar (hal Au•
gereau's corps advance, and the eminence upon which
the church good was cannonaded. by 40 pieces of ar.
tillery belonging to his guard. The armies were now
within half gun fh lc of each other. The thunder of
the cannon was terrible. After the firing had con-
tinued for fome time, the troops became impatient of
fuffering fo much without any thing decifive happen-
ing. Some manoeuvres then commenced on both
fides. in orr.er to obtain advantages over each other,
and in the mean time a thick fall of fnnw came
on, in confequence of which the troops could not
difcern one another, at the diftance of two paces.
—ln this oblcurity fome of the corps loft their way,
and the columns getting too much to the left wander.
ed in uncertainty. This !late of things fatted half ark
hour. When the weather cleared up, the Grand
Duke at the head of the cavalry, fupported by Mar-
(hal Beffieres at the head of the guards, and the di-
vifion of St. Hilluire, advanced and attacked the
enemy. '1 his bold manoeuvre, which covered the
cavalry with glory, had become neceffary in conic- I
(pence of the circumtlances in which our columns
were placed. The enemy's cavalry, who endeavoured
to oppole this manoeuvre, were completely r ruted.—
, The 'laughter was horrible. Two lines of Ruffian in-
! fantry were penetrated, and the third only maintained
itfelf in confequence of having fupported itfelf upon
a wood. Same firiadrons of the guards paired twice
through the whole of the enemy's army. This brilliant
attack, had it not been for the wood, and f .me
other difficulties of the ground,would have decided the
victory. General Hautpoult was wounded. General
Dahlman perithed glorionfly in the attack. For the
too dragoons or cuiraftiers of the guard which lay dead
on the field, there were found betide them tOOO of
their enemies. Marghal Davouft, who had been de.
tached to fall upon the rear of the enemy, but whole
progrefs was much impeded by the weather, was at
laft enabled to execute his orders, and decided the
victory. The enemy, after feveral vain endeavours to
repulfe that General, retreated, leaving their wounded
and to pieces of cannon on the field of battle. The
number of killed and wounded in thi: action was on
both fides very conliderable, and it could not be
otherwife witen a conftant fire was maintained from
about 300 pieces of cannon • fur more than twelve
hours, within a short diltance of both armies. • Mar
(hal Augereau is wounded. General Desjardins, Heti-
dalet, and Lochet, are alb wounded. General Cor-
binean is killed, Its are likewife Colonels Lacue,
Lemarais, and Bouvieres. Our whole lofs confifts of
cagily toco killed, and 5,700 wounde,l., including
1090, who are very badly wounded. But we have
to let againtt this lofs 7000 Ruffians, who have been
counted dead on the field of battle.

Thus the offenlive expedition of the enemy, which
had for its objedi to bear down upon Thorn, by turn.
ing the left wing of the Grand Aimy, has been of the
molt direful confequences to them ; 12 or 15003 pri
Toners, as many more hors de combat, 18 flandards, and
45 pieces of cannon are the trophies, for which we
have paid too dear, without doubt, by the blood of fo
many brave men This expedition is concluded ; the
enemy beaten and driven too leagues from the Vif-
tula. The army is about to refume its cantonments,
and is about to go into winter quarters.

In the Moniteur of to-day is inferteJ the following
article. It is extrasted frrm the German Papers, and
though it turns upon fevet al objcas that have been
partly mentioned before, in general throws much light
up:ln others that are (till unknown, particularly forne
or the moll recent events at Conflantin,sple. It is
dated from that Capital, January it, and is to the
following effc.M.:
"On the .76th ult. as is already known, M. Italinfki,
the ItaliAn Ambatrador, withdrew from hence, with
all the petfons belonging to the Legation. He em-
barked with them on board the Englifh Admiral's
(hip the Canopus, which carried them as far as the
Dardanelles, where a frigate waited to cot.vey him •
to Malta.

" The day before the departure of M. Italinfici,
a Ruffian packet-boat coming from Stbattianople,
loaded with warlike (Imes, not knowing of the rup-
ture, failed into the Bofphorus. While the was puffing .
the forts in the Channel, feveral cann-n thot were
fired at her ; fhe neverthelefs continued Ler comic,
though at length the Turkifh cannon compiled her
to (hike, but not before the Captain had thrown his
difpatches overboard. We very tenfibly feel the loft
of there difpatchcs.Upon the reprefentations of M.lta-
linfki, this officer and his crew were fet at liberty, and
were fuffered.to depart with the Ruffian Arabatlador. I

" Meafures are taken for bringing a notrernue
army into the field as then as poffi'ale ; but in the
prefent fnuation ef affairs, the Porte has thought
praper to fufpend the adoption of European
11 order to avoid giving any offence to the 11:11:'‘n.
" Letters from Prince Morufi, who has ta!;,!::
his refidence at Fokfani. had given hopes tit t• it c
Ruffians cyanid retire from the Turkilh tort it n, v ' ti:
inflead of fo doing, we learn that on 24.11 ul..
they entered Buchaiefl, after experiencing force 'p•
polition from Muflapha Barayckrer.
" The latter not having a fufficient force, retreat-
ed towards Rndfchuck, where he is at prefent, neco.
pied in collecting troops with the view of covetittg,
Widdin, and preventing the junelion of the Ruffians
and Servians. A flotilla of gun boats has Idled I,r
the Black Sea, and was to aft-end the Danube as far
as Widdin, in order to Aid in the defence of that
fort-refs ; but as Gallatz is already in the poff:flion
the Ruffians, it is to be apprehended that they can•
not approach Widdin without sunning the rilk of be-
ing captured.
" It is tedorted to-day, that an engagement has
taken place near Bulca, in which the 'nob hav: had
the advantage, and that the gartifon of Btaila Las
made a very fuccefsft 1 laity. No cot.fi, mai iln I.as
yet been received of the arrival of a Ruffian fi4et at
Chin and Lemnos.

" The Ottoman Navy has lately received an n-
ee-non of more than two thnufand feamen, belonging
to Ragilfa, Cattalo, and French or Italian I/alma.
tia, wh-,, in confequmce of the dangers to which
their fl ig was expoled, were kft live without employ.
ment, and fir whom the French Ambaffador had en.
gaged to make fume provifion. Tile Porte niight,
in the fame manner, have obtained the fcrviccs of fe-
veral hundreds of the fail )rs belonging to Cot fu, had
they not been ordered off nn the eve of the rupture,
as dependants up ,n kufTia. Their perfons were
taken under protetliun by lq.Atbutl.oct, the I. nglifh
Miniiler, and (lilt ibuted on board the Englifh Ihips
of war.

" The Porte has finer thought proper to regard
the fubjeets of the Seven !Rands in a differcnt light.
It has publicly declared, that it confiders them as
under the proteCßi•m of the Ottoman Porte, and as no
longer fitbjeet to any other jurildiaion. It has, hi
consequence of this dec!oration, ordered their vcffzl•,
which were laid under en.bargo, to be reßored. But
a very few fmall Ruffian vc11:1i were !cited in conk-
quence of this embargo, the telt having had time
enough to effeEt their efcape.
At Smyrna, the (hipping experienced a greater
degree of indulgence, a delay of thre2 days havinA
been granted for the failing of the vellals in that pct.:,
from the date of the declaratii.n of war.

AMBASSAD )R TO THE SUBLIME PIRTE, TO MK.
HAUTZED, DROGOMAN TO THE SAID PORTE-
" FIR, " Pcra, Dec. 13, IS. 6.
" From the few lines which I wrote to you this
morning, to acknowledge the receipt of your letter
of yeflerday evening, you will have learnt the tefult
of the difagreeable intelligence which has reached on:
of the circumflances which have occurred betweea
the troops of the Sublime Forte and tl cfe of Rutii t
Since I wrote to you, I have had a converfation o
this fubjeit with Chevalier Italinfici. He regrets, as
much as I do, this lamentable event ; ani of
fentiment he has already given you a proof, in th:
letter which he addreffed to you.
4, In the ti 'ration, however, in which we find our.
felves placed, being hitherto totally unacquainted
with the motives of the ir.curfi'.n of the Ruffian
troops, we can at this moment, whatever he Ur n ,
Lure of this proceeding, do no more than lament clic
interruption of the good under Handing which cxi9cd
between the Sublime Porte and her Allies. We a, e
too well acquainted with the fentiments of both our
Courts, not to be affured that neither England tier
Ruffia can be gloated by any halite intention
Turkey. The entrance of the Ruff; ins mull titer:,
fore, as a neceffary confequence, be re7,atded IP!e'y
as a meafure direited towards the teem ity of !;.e
Sublime Porte ; and the unf:rtunate event, of whi:ll
you apprifed roe in the letter alluded to, can only be
attributed to one of thole inftances of mifundertland-
ing, which no human prudence can p event.
" Complete explanations may be daily expelled ;
and as the Sublime Porte has done me the honour t
confult me, I fhould by no means aft in contoin.i;
to the fentiments with which my Court is animaied
with refpea to her, fhould I not take the earlieti p
portunity of declaring, that every confideration o;
prudence enjoins the obfervancc of the fame uprig),•
and difcieet conduit which ha, of late reflected
much honour on the Ottoman hliniftry.
" I have, however, no difficulty in admittinz., tfat
if the Rate of things fhould turn out to he fuck as
has been reprefented, it is very natural that
lime Porte fhould be extremely diffati.,fi.d. Va. file
muff be too well acquainted with the jiiitke of ti
Ruffian Emperor, not to be convinced that hi., lir.
perial Majefly will be the firll to exprels his dir.4l)
probation of any aft of hottility committed agaii.it
Turkey by his Officers. The Porte is too enlightened
not to perceive, that the ffightell indicati-n of tilt.
pleafure with Ruffia, can, under exiflinA circiim. .
fiance., have no other effeil than that of phingini:
this Empire into the midi, of th ,fe dangers in whit
Prance has, for fo long a period, and from fo mar.;
finifter motives, endeavoured to involve her.
" I have felt myfelf highly flattered by the honottr
which the Porte has conferred upon me, in applyily
for my mediation. I confider this Rep as a conviis.
cing proof of the jultice which it does me ; and rl,•
mutt fupply me with an additional motive to endea.
your to accomplith whatever way accord with its

" Upon OA; occafon, however, fuch an offer as'
that which the Sublime P•trte Las propoied to me
would not only he unneceffary, but alfn mifplaced
for never have I heard from. the lips of the Ruffian
Anibaffador any other fc• tienents thaw thole which
I myfelf entertain ; and I have never remarked in
him any other derne than that of preventing every
!Ling which could tend to excite a mifunderftanding
between the two Courts.
I mutt thus wait for force other necafir,n of de.
monftrating, to the Sublime Porte the friendfhip
which I feel towards her, in my charaCter of Repre-
fentative of her molt faithful Ally. I may venture
to agirt, that no event can take place of fuch a de-
fcription as not to afford the means of making more
and more manifeff, that the King has no other views
than that of being ufefnl to his Highnefs the Sultan,
and that the engagements mutually entered into with
the Emperor of Ruffin have no other ()bk.& than to
contritytte to the fecuri.y, the welfare, and the glory
of this Empire. I have the honour, &c.

14013:;E OF LORDS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4.

Lord Vilconnt Grimfton took the oaths and his feat.

• . • .
In the Appeal " Tharkwell and others v. Jefferys and others,"
the Attorney-General and Mr. Fonblanque were heard on the part
of the Crown. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, after
a few obkrvations from Lords REnesnaLE and r LDON, the De-
cree of the Court of Chancery was ordered to he affirmed.
Earl of AYLESFORD Rated, that his Majelty had been
waited upon with the Addrels of that Houk, to which he had been
pleated to returi. a molt gracious anfwer.
The Earl of MOIRA prcfcnted a Petition from the Debtors
confined in Lancafter Gaol, praying for relief. The Petition was
ordered to lie on the Table. His Lordihip Paid a few words in a
low tone of voice refpedling the other Petitions of this dekription,
which we could not diftincftly hear.
The LORD CHANCELLOR read a letter, which he bad re-
ceived from Major General Sir John Stuart, K. B. expreffivc of his
high fenfe of the honour conferred upon him by the vote of thanks
of that Houfe.

The Houle refolved itfelf into a Committee on the Thames Po-
lice Bilt

Lord ELDON objeded to a claufe in the Bill which declares
it to be a mifdemeanour for Seamen to quit the %raids in which
they have engaged to perform a voyage previous to the yards
failing, and renders them liable for fuch mifdemcanor to one
moth's imprifonment. His Lordfhip obferved that this had hi-
therto been merely a breach of a civil contrad, and he entertained
confiderable doubt how far they ought to legillate in the way pro
poled, particularly as in this claufe the feaman was to be liable to
punilhment whether be was engaged under written articles or not,
and thus he might be liable to punilhment for quitting his Chip on
account of the captain refuting to fig,n articles, although it was only
by means of thole articles that he could recover his wages. He
writhed, therefore, the Bill to be poftponed, in order to give time
for its due conlideration.

On the motion of Lord ELDON, the Chairman left the Omar,
and the Houfe having rcfumed, the Committee on the Bill was
poll paned till this day fen night.
The South Sea Bill and the Sugar Drawback. Bill paired through
