FRENCH JOURNALS.
Saturday evening French Journals arrived to the
2tOth ult. They contain the 38th and 39th Bulletins,
and prove what we have uniformly maintained, that
no atlion of importance bad taken place between the
Ruffians and French in the end of November or be.
ginning of lan month. The Ruffians are certainly
falling back, and it is undoubtedly the mofi prudent
courfe they could have followed till their reinforce-
ments join them.
The 39th Bulletin Rates, that Ruffia has declared
war againa the Turks, and that Choczim and Bender
baw been furrounded by their troops. If ALE' errata,
in confequence of good intelligence of the intentions
of the Turks to attack him, has anticipated
their defign, he has aced prudently ; but we very
much doubt the fiat, for the Mellinger which
arrived on Friday laft from Peterlburgh, brings the
moft pofitive affurances, that the belt undernanding
prevails between tnofe Powers; and that the influence
of the Ruffian Government at Conitantinople was
completely triumphant over that of France.
Thefe Bulletins alfo mention the furrender of Glo.
gau, which was known Come time ago. The furren-
der of Plaffenbnrgh in Franconia, a place of no great
importance, is alfo mentioned --Glogau does not ap•
pear to have made a vigorous refinance, and the
French from the pan, feem to be junified in expel
ing the fpeedy reduaion of all Silefia. The corps of
Ji110146 Bonaparts. appears to be advancing into
Poland through Silefia, while the corps of Vent:waltz
carries on the Geges.
The Emperor of Ruflia has iffued a very fpirited
and manly Declaration of his intention:of carrying on
the war with vigour againn. France, and he calls
upon the people to come forward now, not merely
for the affiftance of their allies, bot for their own
defence. It is dated 28th November.
Every exertion is making to call on the Poles, and
it is not thought that BomArsrry will advance much
till a confiderable force is on foot. Kosciusxo has
addreffed a proclamation to biz countrymen, in which
his pretenfions to patrintifm are rendered fufpicious
by the pas flattery of BONAPALTS, of whole ambi-
tion, indeed, be is now the inftruMent. IS:INA/ARTS
was at Pofen on the 7th, and was not to proceed to
Warfaw for Come time. At Warfaw the Declaration
of the new kingdom of Poland is to take place with
great folemnity.

BUENOS AYRES.
We Rated in our laft, that letters received by the
Lifbon Mail announced the re-capture of Buenos
Ayres, by the Spaniards. As far as we can colic&
the fources of information, we find them derived from
intelligence received from the Brazils, dated the zd of
N vmher lag. If thefe advices are to be credited, it
thould kern that the information in quetlion bad been
e.wreyed to Fernambucco, the moil Northern port' of

i
_

the Brazils, on or ablut the above date, by a Span
vcffel from Buenos Ayres, which had met with very
revere weather in beating up for that port, an 4 will
difmaßed. In point of time. this would fix the evest
to the beginning, or, at leaft, the middle of Oaober-,
The accounts farther Rated, that many lives were loft
on both fides, and that the remaining gnglith were
prifoners.
We own, we feel great difficulties in reconciling
this account, fuch as it is, with probabilky. The
bell informed upon this fubjia agree, theft no force
of any avail could have arrived ham ibe Weßern
provinces of Spaniffi Ainerica,:aerofs the Cordille-
ras, before the month of December; meted to foppofe
that a fubjugered baffled provincial force coulthave
fubdued even General Blazsenan's Rrength, is more
than we can comprehend.' We fhould think that in
every refpeet the force under General Beateroati
and Sir Hosea Porn Are ought to have been able to
maintain a conquill they were able to achieve with-
out any lola whatever, particularly as the Spaniards
bad got no reinforcements, at leaft from Europe.
• Same accounts Rate that a battle was foughten the
plain near Buenos Ayres,, on the oh Oitober,‘in
which General Battersea was killed, and the troops
completely defeated.. . •
Whatever ttnth may be in the intelligence, wet
not believe the details given of it.
Other accounts Rate, hat Sir Hosts Porlsata had
been blown off his Ration, which. we believe, eras in
the Rio de la Plata, and off Monte Video. This is
not impoffible, as the land winds in that quarter forme-
times blow off thole with uncommon violence ; bat
we mutt have farther accounts before the truth of
there Ratements can be afcertained.
The following are Tome of the accounts received
by the .Mail :
L:sitoN, DICKMIRR so.—" Enema Ayres bee been retaken
from the Englills. Their General, and part of their troops•
were left in the field of battle. The remainder draped, of were
made prifoners. This intelligefice is confirmedty the laft letter
from La Bahia. Although the news is not Wield, we entertain
no doubt of is. A letter *Welt I itety received from the Giver.
nor of Santa Martha Rated, that an expedition bed failed few
Mame Video againit tt.e conquerors of 'Buenos Ayres, cosilliens
of taco men, in feboooers, brigs, &c. Ind 600 in gun bents."
ANOTHER RXTRACT, SAME DATE.
The recapture of Buenos Ayres appears no WNW.
The Englifh, who cleaned after the battle, are
fort, and their ftrength is daily weakened by defertions. We ears
pea with impatience the Brit Stip from Rio Janeiro; but probe
bly ie will only bring thole particulars of which You may be al
ready in poffelfion."
Other letters, dated Madrid, Rate, that the Vice
roy, having collected a force of Elooo men, drove in
all our out-polli, and advanced refolutely to attsmk
our main body, which did not confilt of moo of 4if-
ferent defcriptions. The engagement wise %fitly
contefted, but the great fopetinTßY-bilhe-ernerny
compelled us to retreat, when diforder followed, and
the Spaniih cavalry breaking in upon the ranks, Ge-
neral B 1 R snort D unfortunately fell, and the troops
thus divided Red in all direftions.

Saturday the Hannah, Hinnsasow, and the Flax.
tan, SPEW, arrived in the River from the Baltic,
after a fhort paage from Elfineur. By there we
have received the Danifh and Hamburg Papers of

they contain worth extra ling
An article from Franckfort, of the tsth ult, tit-

of cavalry were to be ready by Chriftmas, and to
march to Warfaw in order to be indent at the grand
parade, fixed for the ill of January, in that city.
The Emprefs Jost:pima was preparing to return
to Paris, inflead of proceeding to Berlin, as was at

The anniverfary of the coronation of NAPOLEON,
and the battle'of Aufterlitz, was celebrated at Straf-

PORTSMOUTH, JANUARY 4.

The wind which had, during the laft two days,
:again blown from the S. W. came found this morn-
ing to the wifhed for point, the N. E. when the bur-
;le occafioned by the fair wind on Thurfday laft, was,

if poffible, esceeded. The fignal having been given
for weighing anchor, nothing was to be Peen in any
direBion but Boats getting off to the fleet, with the
paffengers and others, who had moll reluaantly re-

turned to their different accommodations on {bore.
Nearly the whole of the fleet were under fail by 12
o'clock, and early in the afternoon numbers difap•
peared. The (bores were lined to behold this grand
and lively objea, tome indeed drawn "thither from
diftant parts of the country to part with relatives
and friends about to vifit diftant climes, who were
thus gradually departing from their 4' longing, linger.
ing 10-k," while others were viewing with exultation
this burthened fleet, conveying merchandize to the
amount of millions to almoft every quarter of the
Globe. In the evening, the fleet which had in the
morning extended as far as the eye could reach,
-forming a fpeaacle, equalled perhaps by none, had
almoß all difappeared, and we may faitly h'tpe, will
by to-morrow morning reach the Land's End.

98 guns, and Thifbe frigate, are bound to the Welt
ladies; and the Gannet floop and Milbrookkhooner,
to Lifbon and Oporto, with their telperftive {hips.
This fleet which has, fince the arrival of the whole,
been found to amount to between fix and 700 fail,
is the largeft that has left England face the year
1798 ; nor is it left true that this fleet has failed when
we are declared to be in a Pie of blocialle. Some of
the Eaft Indiamen have been here many weeks, at a
very ccnfiderable expense to the Captains, Come of
whom it has colt nearly tool. a week fince their ar•
rival ; nor are the independem inhabitants of the
*three towns more happy on account of the different
Commanders, that they have failed, than on their
own account, as every, article of provifion is become
very dear. The different roads leading to Pouf-
mouth havr, during the halt week, been crowded
with conveyances bringing in provifions of every de-
fcription from the country.—The Diana ft igate,Cap-
