RVIMTED CAPTURE OF
DRESDEN BY THE AWES'
ON THE SEPTEMOER,
AND -
DEFEAT OF DAVOUST
WITH Tin LOSS oi SIX THOUSAND MEN.

-

Accounts from Heligoland, dated the 28d instant,
mention the receipt of intelligence from Altona, dated
the 2lst, announcing the fall of Dresden on the 16th.
The following letter on this interesting subject is so
precise as to dates that we feel very much inclined to
give full credit to the intelligence. , •
The French accounts from Dresden, as we have
already hinted, are of a complexion to induce a belief
that on the 14th, the date of the last accounts front
that city, they had no confidence that they would be
able to retain the place much longer ; and we have
hardly a doubt that, before many hours shall pass,
official accounts will confirm this important and glo-
rious intelligences

" HELIGOLAND, SEPT. 43.
" A boat has just arrived here from Tonningen—.
the people on board her state, that it was positively
asserted at Altona, on the 21st, that the Allies took
possession of Dresden on the 16th, that Davoust
had returned to Hamburgh, after, according to
his own confession, having suffered a loss of 5,000
men ; that'the Russians were in great numbers at
Harburg, and that considerable apprehensions were
entertained at Altona of their immediate entrance
into that town."

" HARWICH, SEPT. 28.

II We learn by the Lord Duncan, Captain linsm.-
TON., which arrived yesterday noon, that DAvousT
has returned to Hamburgh, after experiencing in his
retreat from Schwerin a severe defeat by Count Wm.-
monen. He acknowledges himself to have lost Six
Thousand Men, in a Proclamation he issued soon
after he reached that place ; but claims credit for re-
taining his Eagles, after having been attacked by so
superior a force.
44 We know his army has been greatly reduced
by desertions (luting his stay at Schwerin. Four
Dutch conscripts have arrived by the packet who re-
port that 800 of the 2d Dutch corps deserted from him
the day before they withdrew themselves ; and it is
further stated, that a dysentery: having broken out in
an alarming degree among the Danish army,they were
necessitated to separate themselves from the French.
Altona Papers to a very late date, the 20th or 21st, are
arrived by the packet, and forwarded to Government.
Vessels, with grain and provisions of all sorts, are
hourly arriving at Heligoland from Slesu ich and
Holstein. The outward-bound packets, with three
Mails, are yet detained by contrary winds."

This morning BuenosAyres Gazettes to the lstJuly
reached us, from which the following are extracts:

•• We know, frcim good authority, that since the
Army of tl:e Country encamped before Montevideo,
that more than 5000 persons, of all ages and sexes,
have died it it.
•• The ordinary ration in the enemy's port for the
marines, consists of 14 ounces of salt meal, without
bread, and even latterly without meat. That for the
land troops is in the same, or very nearly, proportion.
•• It is about a month since the corvette of war,
the Sebastian', arrived at Montevideo from Cadiz.—
"According to what the sailors tell the inhabitants, it
appears that they expect the one hundred times pro-
mised reinforcement, 3000 men ;--others say, that a
good marine battalion alone is coming. The Army
of the Country, in the mean time, wishes those troops
should arrive, in the hope that they may be afforded
such another day as the 31st of last Picember."
An Extraodinary Buenos Ayres Gazette of the

19th June contains a Dispatch from General J. M.
de Carrera, dated 25th May, stating, that on that
day he had taken possession of the City of Concep-
tion ; that be expected in two days' to obtain, without
bloodshed, possession of the Port of Talcahuano
and that the enemy's soldiers deserted, and joined
the bands of the country. ' •
An extraordinary Buenos Ayres Paper of the 30th
June announces the capture of the port of Talcahuano
by General Carrera, on the 29th May, after an action
of four hours.

Yesterday, her MAJESTY, accompanied by the
Princesses ELIZABETH and MARY, took an airing to
Frogmore. Princesses AUGUSTA and SOPHIA, with
their usual attendants, rode on horseback in Windsor
Park.
Yesterday Lord LIVERPOOL had an audience of the
PRINCE REOEN r.
Saturday night Messrs. Small and PEGLER, King's
Messengers, set off from the Foreign Office, to em-
bark at Yarmouth, with dispatches for Lord CATII•
CART, Sir CHARLES STEWART, and Mr. THORNTON*

General Moazau displayed a fortitude and resig-
nation corresponding with the whole tenour of his life.
When his surgeons informed him of the hopelessness
of his situation, he dictated a letter to the Emperor
ALinutrinaa, in which he fervently expressed his grate-
ful sense of the kindness he had received from that
Monarch. But even at this awful moment, the
promotion of the sacred cause, in which he had
embarked, was uppermost in his mind ;—and after
communicating the hopes he entertained of its suc-
cess, and some remarks on its further prosecution, he
expired without a groan. Lord CATHCART, it is said,
has written all the particulars respecting, his last mo-
ments to the Duchess of DEVONSIIMIto with a request
to communicate them to Madame Moae&u, who is
inconsolable for the loss of her husband.
