There Teemed to be a very general difpofition in the
City yeflesday afternoon, to difcredit the accounts of
the Ruffians having been defeated on the !,e.th ult. by
the French. We with it were in our power to difan•
dit the intelligsoc4; but unfortunately the ACM is
confirmed, in its general outlines, by

THE DANISH MAIL,
Wyt,e*arrived this day, and his bronght ns private
lellars, and Hambnrgh andAltona papers to the Isth
ultimo.

-.We have not met with any thing in the Journals
that have reached us, confirming the account of the
capture of Memel by the, French, but the accounts
from Eaft Pttiffiaannounce that they entered Koning(
berg on the 16th; and no doubt now remains, though
the accounts may be much exaggerated, that in the
battle near Friedland on the 14th, the Ruffians cut:
mined a fevere defeat.

Intelligence of fuch a nature calls for no comment
at the prefent moment. Every confiderate man will
contemplate the event with no common degree of ap-
prehenfion as to the confequencts that may refult
from it t nor will his fears be alleviated, when., under
filch eircumflances, he fees our Statefmen employing
themfelves in mutual accufations and recriminations,
when the only Midi that ought to occupy their at•
tension ought to be the fafety of the country.

The Journals received contain fome interefling
details relative to the operations of the armies between
the sth and the 14. th ; but being of great length, and
deriving their chief importance from the refult they
led to on the latter day. we have chiefly confined our
extraCts to details relative to that important battle :
PRIVATE LETTER.

HAMBURGK, Jolts 22.—This morning emir, pri.:
vale intelligence.has been received here from a perfon
of diflineion at Dantaic, dated the rgth loft. ake,
cording to thisohe French Emperor attacked the Ruf-
fian army on the 15th, totally defeated it, and took
zoo cannon. The number of prifoners it is added,
is beyond calculation, and the Ruffians have 101 l every
thing. Whether this is a new affair or whether the
battle of the 14th is mean', cannot• be determined.
Prince Borghefe is gone exprefs to Paris with the
news of the viftory of the t4th. The fame letter
adds that the French entered Konigfberg on the 16th.
It kerns (as I am informed on good authority)'
that the above news is contained in a letter from
General Rapp to Mr. Bourienne; it (Imes that above
80,000 prif.ners were taken. Mr. B. had fent it to
the Office of the Few Gazette to be pointed, but had
afterwards (lopped it, becaufe' the letter was not
official.

We undcrflacd that the French troops entered
Konigfbers on the 16th infant.

Buzau, Juss zo.—Brigadier General Prince Bur-
ghefe paired this moment throt►gh Berlin, to•carry to
Paris the account of the great vie ory obtained near
Friedland, on the 14th intl.
In the courfe of IA month the ratifications were
exchanged, in the Palace of. Government, of the dif-
ferent treaties, by which the houfes of Anhalt
Schwarfbnrg Von de Lippe Reufs, and Waldeck,

BERLIN, JUNE 19 —The following was publifhed
by authority.—The French army on the. 14th June,
celebrated the anniverfary of the battle of Marengo,
in a manner worthy of the occafion. The battle of
Friedland will be as renowned in hiftory, as that of
Morengo. The Ruffian army anticipated in its move-
ments, pierced in its centre, and cat off from its
magazines, was completed defeated, eighti pieces of.
cannon taken, from 25 to 30,000 Ruffians tabus
prifoners, or killed, or drowned in the Alle.
In this remarkable battle, thirty Ruffian Generals
were killed, taken, or feverely wounded. The bodies
of feveral Ruffian Generals remained in the field,
among whom, were Genirals Pa Hun and MARCOFF,
the principal favourers of the Englifh party. In like
manner the fiat blows of the campaign againft Prot -
fia fell upon the principal authors of the war. The
regularity and intrepidity of the troops prevented
the lots of the French from being very confiderable.
