ALTONA, OCT OBER 29.

Tettenborn's corps, which was driven from Bre.
inen, effected its retreat upon ikchern and Verden.
The Director of the Imperial Customs has just ex.
tended to the 30th of December, the term, during
which time it ►hall he lawliil to introduce into the
interior of the Empire, colonial products imported at
Hamburgh, through the offices of Wesel, Leer, and
Mentz.

No intelligence has been• published respecting our
auxiliary corps, which appears to remain in the same
position.

MILAN, NOVEMBER 4.
We have received the following accounts, dated
the Ist of November ;—they detail the manner in
which the enemy was attacked and driven from
Bassano

The Prince Viceroy arrived on the 30th at Castel
Franco. The same day he reconnoitred the positions
of the enemy. On the 31st he attacked in the fol-
lowing manner :

Gratien's division marched upon the S. Zinone
road ;_ the cavalry and Rullier's brigade, and that of
Schmitt; with the guards, were in-reserve upon the
principal road which leads directly to the town ; it
was to march in such a manner as to take the enemy
reven, and make them prisoners. The movement
_commenced at noon : n ifling resistance only was ex-
perienced on commencing the attack ; but at the
moment when the troops approached the town, the
enemy endeavoured to maintain himself and resist.—
Our soldiers, animated by their natural valour, and
by the pre:;ence of his Serene Highness, charged the
enemy with the bayonet, and with such vigour, that
be was driven from all the posts be occupied. The
enemy then hastened to.evacuate the town for fear
of being taken in the rear. The Prince pursued the
enemy briskly on the Trento road.
A company of the 42d regiment, which formed
the head of the column, charged, and took one piece
of cannon. We have killed many of the enemy, and
taken at least 600 prisoners. On the morning of the
Ist of November, the cavalry marched forward, and
will undoubtedly bring back a geloci number of other
prisoners.

CARLSRUHE, NOVEMBER 2.

The letters which we receive from Frankfort,
Meets, and its neighbourhood, contain the most in.
teresting dettilc respecting. the courage which the
French soldiers displayed in their late march upon
the Rhine.

The Officers taken prisoners report, that the Ba-
',aro-Austrian army imagined that it was going to
block up the road against the Emperor Napoleon ;
and the allied Generals had the presy.mptuous folly
to boast of it. They had rallied all their dispersed
corps; they had made them advance by forced
marches, in carriages ; in short, by all possible means.
According to them the enemy was Ytry numerous ;
his army was composed of three Austrian divisions,
of which two were infantry, commanded by Generals

Fresnal and Bach, and one of cavalry tip Genital!
Splenys, besides three Bavarian division", et the NO
of which were Generals Rechberg, Butlers, Ms
Sprelty-
Prince Charles commanded .a brigade in the
of Hanau ; he was exposed to the greatest clang":
Gen.Wrede was mortally wound and is no longer
in a condition to command. retinal lost a
great part of his division, and received several
wounds. A Bavarian division was annihilated. Seve-
ral Generals were put hors de combat.
We continue to enjoy here, and in all the grand
Duchy, the most perfect tranquillity. The enemy
themselves allow that it has not been possible for
them to reach the French army during its march to
the Rhine. They experienced such a loss in the battle
near Leipsic, that they were not able to follow the
movements of the French army ; and as often as any
of the partisan core dared to approach too near,
they-were always repulsed to a distance. The Prus-
sians have been obliged to confess that they lost,
from the 18th to the 20th, more than 25,000 men ;
and the loss of the Austrians was still more consider-
able. Thus these corps find much difficulty in re-
forming themselves ; recruits do not arrive, and the
army wants an infinite number of things. •
The. Allies consider Saxony as a conquered coun-
try, and overwhelm it with the burthens of war.—
Their troops disperse themselves over it, observe no
discipline, and maltreat the pestceable inhabitants.—
They have appointed General Repnin Governor-
General, who has the business of police performed
by Cossacks. The affairs, ecclesiastical, civil, and
military, are under his jut isdiction.
The celebrated Baron de Stein has been.appointed
Administrator of all the German countries occupied
by the troops of the coalition.
The conduct of the allies towards the respectable
and unfortunate King of Saxony has excited general
indignation throughout Germany. It has produced.
'the most lively sensation in the different German
Courts.
Nov. s:—Tt is pretended here that General Wrede
treated with Prince de Reuss, without being autho-
rised by the Bavarian Government; that an estate in
Austria, and the title of Austrian FielctZeugmeister,
were the price of his treason ; and that he threatened
to march with his army upon Munich, if the treaty
of alliance which he had concluded was not ratified.
These reports, which we do not guarantee, are spread
throughout all Germany; but what we can certify is
that the same General Wrede owes all his military
fortune to France ; that the Emperor Napoleon had
given him a magnificent estate, and that he bad re-
ceived the title of Grand Officer of the Legion of
-Honour, and that of Count of the Empire.
WARSAW, OCTOBER 5.
On the 17th, September, irwas attempted tolsorn-
bard Dantzic on the sea-side. The flotilla approach-
ed, supported by the English vessels stationed in the
road. The fire lasted from six in the morning till six
at night ; but towards noon, the wind having become
strong, and the French batteries being more elevated
than the gun-boats constructed for cruizing along the
coasts of Finland, the Allies could not accomplish
the end they proposed, and,, notwithstanding the
bravery of their crews, the enterprise completely fail;
ed.—The batteries of the place were not damaged
and the flotilla of the allies had 85 men killed, and

.

192 wounded : a red-hot ball, fired by the French,
blew up one of the gun-goats.
MENTZ, NOVAVIBER 4.

His Majesty mounted on horseback this morning
at eleven o'clock, and crossed the Rhine to visit the
fortifications of Cassel and its neighbourhood. The
inhabitants of Mentz pressed upon the road by which
he passed, aid the cry of Vive l'Emperetir resounded
from all parts. It is immsible to give a just idea of
the enthusiasm and devotion evinced by all the inha-
bitants of the left bank of the Rhine.
Our town and its environs are crowded with troops
of all arms. For six days the bridge over the Rhine
has not ceased being covered with them. •
BAYONNE, OCTOBER ro .

Since the affair of the Bth, in which the English'
were repulsed, no reniarkable event has occurred
The weather has set in cold, and the rtfonntains are
already covered with snow. It is not thought the
enemy's General will undertake any thing before
spring, and at that epoch it is doubted whether he
will be in a condition to assume the offensive.. Our
army has been reinforced • and his is much dimi-
nished by the desertion of the Spaniards, and the sol-
diers of the foreign corps in the pay of England. The
day before yesterday 22 deserters arrived : yesterday,
50. A day does not pass without some deserting to
us. Towards Saint Jean Pied de Port an entire post
of 90 men, almost all Andalusians, deserted with arms
and baggage., These are positive facts, and which,
besides, ought not to excite astonishment ;—as the
enemy's army must necessarily suffer much in the
position it occupies. The Engl;sh and Portuguese
want for nothing, whilst the Spaniards .are neither
paid, clothed, nor fed. This difference excites jea-
lousy ; and the Litter, who willingly made war in
their respective provinces, drily remain by compulsion
in line. The Chiefs of bands who were independent,
with difficulty conform to subordination, and with
pain see their best soldiers taken from them to be in-
corporated with the regular troops.
It is certain, that from Vittoria to Valladolid there
are guerillas which hold the country, and which do
not even respect the English convoys.
Our works daily advance, and will soon be com-
pleted : they will, in case of necessity, be vigorously
defended ; but if, since the Bth, the enemy has not
considered himself in a condition to attack us, and if
he has tranquilly seen our troops erect, under his eyes,
entrenchments upon entrenchments; it is not probable
that be will undertake any thing serious, at a moment
when our means of defence are ready, and the most
formidable works executed.

RASTADT2 NOVEMBER 3.
The suburbs of Leipue suffered en the day of the
19th of October; the Allied troops plundered a great
number of houses in them. -The interior of the town
was not so badly treated ' • no house in, it was burnt.
The Russian Gent.ral,Prinee Repnin, has entered
Leipsic, and taken upon him the office of Governor-
General of Saxony, by announcing, that the coalesced
Powers had confided to him the supreme administra-
tion of civil and military affairs of the kingdom, in
the Duchy of Altenburg, and the countries of the
Princes of Reuss. He acted so m•:ch under the in.
fiance of the British Cabinet, that he immediately
caused an Ordinance to be published, by which are
annulled all Edicts issued in the kingdom of Saxony.
relative to the impost laid upon colonial products, the
prohibition of English merchandize, and the prohibi-
tion of importing cotton or thread goods coming from
Pjussia. This Decree, published in the other Saxon
towns, had.spread consternation among all the manu-
facturers in that kingdom, who see in this measure
the ruin of their manufactures. It is known that the
Saxon merchandize had an immense sale, since Eng-
lish goods were prohibited:

SICIL r.
PRIVATE LETTER.

" Palermo, September 16.
" At length, -after reiterated attempts on the part
of Lord Montgomerie, the Parliament of Sicily was ,
yesterday prorogued for twenty days. There. is
nothing but the Parliament can overthrow the pre-
sent Government, and at the sense time excite the
people against the English. We have obtained from
it, with much difficulty, the continuation of the
subsidies for two months, which will expire on the
31st of October. It is time that something should
be done fot the public good, and yet the truth is, that
the revenue will lose considerably by this measure,
these subsidies being of that nature that they cannot
be accurately levied when they are voted for so short
a period, and when it remains uncertain whether the
Parliament will prolong them. This Parliament has
never been desirous of discussing the question of sub-
sidies, knoWing that the preceding Ministry had left
a plan of taxation upon the consumption of articles of
luxury, which would greatly relieve the people, and
which would fall chiefly upon the higher classes, to
whom belong the majority of the Members.
It was not till the 4th of September that the lea-
ders of the House of Commons, frightened by the
menace of ail approaching prorogation, determined
at length to pass precipitately, without discussion,
without the report of a Committee, and without the
three readings ordered by the Constitution, a Reso-
lution for the payment of a part of the Civil List ;
and on this occasion they determined to revenge
themselves upon an Illustrious Personage, who has
always shewn the strongest love for the Constitution
'Ad the alliance, by refusing the payment ef the ma.
trimonial agreement with the Princess his wife. This
Act, by which neitheer the payment of several debts,
one of them due to England, nor of the expences of
the Administration, tl:e 'Tribunals, the Prisons, flre.
are provided for, is happily rendered a nullity by its I
not having been sanctioned previous to the proroga-
tion. It was at the same time that the House of
Commons meditated another piece of revenge—irri-
tated against the printer and author of a periodical
journal, it was on the point of directing a Committee
of its Members to arrest,. prosecute, and try then.
" It should be remarked, that this House only
exists by virtue of a constitution which has established
for the liherty of the press rules analogous to the laws
pf England ; that so far from this Journal having at-
hacked any privilege of the House, the Member who
i denounced t could not even specify any charge, and
that by the constitution, if any offence had been com-
mitted, it must be adjudged by the tribunals. The
leaders, nevertheless, talked of even arresting several
of the Members_ of the House who defended the Jour-
nal, when the prorogation came and interrupted the
disorder.

" Lord William Bentinck is expected, and we
doubt not that he will put an end to it. The pre.
sent Ministers have coalesced with the•prevailing fac-
tion in Parliament, and have shewn nothing but weak-
ness. Should this party make an attempt to recal
the King to the head of affairs, he will come back,
and there will no longer be any time to lose,
" To give you an idea of the manner in which this
party treat the English, I send you two Resolutions
of the House of the 25d of August. It is necessary
to premise, that when there is any danger, certain
Magistrates and certain Ecclesiastics assemble of right,
by virtue of a law of one of the late Kings, and form
themselves into what is called La Suprema Deputazione
di Salute, which it independent of the Government. This
law took its origin from the venal negligence of office
in the times of the Viceroys, and from,this indepen-
dence of the Deputation great abuses naturally re-
sulted. Belmonte, before quitting Messina at the end
of July, had prepared a law, in concert with the
English, to render this Deputation dependent upon
the Privy Council, but since the retirement of the old
Ministers,the Parliament has not occupied itself with
the subject, because the Leaders hoped to derive from
circumstances, and the neighbourhood of Malta, the
means of indisposing the people against the English.
The following are the Resolutions :
" House of Commons, 234 August, 1813.
" Having seen the circumstances et and proved by the
Deputation of Health of Mrs. ina, the Parliament sees with pain
that it cannot remain in culpable indifference, and that it will be
responsible to the whole nation which it represents. It there-
fore decrees, ghat orders shall be given to the General Depots'.
den of Health, to take Immediately the most energetic measures,
and to employ the whole of the disposable force. It also decrees,
That his Royal Highness shall be prayed to direct the Offices
corresponding with the British Authorities, to recall the General:
of ilfemiwir to their deity. " GASPARD VACCARI, President."
" House of Commons, August 23,1813.
" The Parliathent directs, that there shall be sent to London
a Special hessian of four Individuals,
at the expence of the Na-
tion, torment to the Prim Regent, in the name of the Psince
Vicar, the complaints of the nation on the violation of the law
of public safety, committed by the English Geserah in Sicily, ac-
companied by instractfons which the Parliament will decrie, and
whldthls Royal Highness will be pleased to sanction."
