The town of Cziitow has surrendered by capitula-
tion to the Russians. The Tut kish troops obtained
permission to retire from the town upon laying down
their arms, and giving them up, with all dm' bag-
gage and artillery. to the Russians.
Tile surrender of this ttna n may be considered as
one of the results of the victory obtained on the 7th.
It has put the Russians in possession of the whole
Turkish flotilla, with a great supply of provisions and
ammunition. Czistow is situated close to the Danube,
between Nicopoli and Rutschtschuck.

The official account of the battle fought at the end
of last month between the allied army and the French
is now before the public, and it is most satisfactory ;
though from the circumstance of a previous dispatch
from Lord WELLINGTON having been lost, there ap-
pears some obscurity in the commencement of his
Lordship's dispatch. His object appears to have been
to prevent the enemy from obtaining possession of
• Coimbra, and with this view he collected his army
on the Sierra de Busaco, which is connected with other
Sierras, over one or other of which all the roads to
Coimbra lead. MARsENA appears to have had no other
resource than to make a desperate attempt to drive
the allied army from this position. He therefore
made two attacks, one on the right, and the other on
the left, in both of which he was completely repulsed.
MASSENA did not attempt to renew the attack, ex-
cepting by the fire of his light troops on the 28th,
but made a movement for turning the left of the Al-
lied Army, and reaching Coimbra by the. high road,
to Oporto. Lord WELLINGTON foresaw this move-
ment,
and endeavoured to prevent its execution ; but,
unfortunately, through a delay in the march of Col.inel
THANT with his division of Militia, thecnemy were ena-
bled to occupy Sardao. Lord \VELLrSGTON was thus
rendered unable to maintain his position upon the Sier-
ra de Busaco, without exposing his army to be cut off
front Coimbra, or to a gencral action on less favour-
able ground. He therefore retired upon his reinforce-
ments, and the whole army, with the exception of the
advanced guard, had, on the 30th, retreated to the left
of the Mondego.
It is evident from this retreat, that the enemy must
obtain possession of Coimbra, and Lord WELLINGTON •
acknowledges, that he is apprehensive he shall not
succeed in the object he had in view in passing the
Mondego, and in occupying the Sierra de Busaco,
which object was, as before stated, to prevent the
enemy front obtaining possession of Coimbra. Mas-
sna, therefore, although repulsed in the attack, has,
to a certain extent, succeeded ; but he appears to have
only the choice of making another attack with the cer-
tainty of sustaining an equal, if not a greater loss than
that he experienced in his attempt at Busaco. It is said
that the French army cannot remain in its present posi-
tion for want of provisions ; if so, it follows of course,
that they must either make a successful attack upon'
the Allied Army, or retre:tt. We ...now not what
reliance is to be placed upon this assertion of the want
of provisions ; but it is dear, from the defensive sys-
tem judiciously continued by Lord I'v'eraaNcroN, that
MASSENA cannot attain the object for vi hich be came
t:oFortunal,without again attacking the Allied At my,
and still mere without succeeding in that attempt,
whilst at the same time the chances in his favour of
ultimate success are most materially diminished, by
the proofs which have row been decidedly given of
the steadiness and discipline of the Portuguese troops,
who must also have acquired much additional confi.
dence from their having so recently put to flight the
French soldiers opposed to them.
In addition to the details given by the Gazette, the
following particulars derived from other sources, will
be found to contain some interesting information :
In the recent attack made upon the allied army
in the Sierra de Buzaco, almost the whole of the
French army, consisting of the divisions of NET, JU.
NOT, and Mouttett, to the amount of 70,000 men,
were under arms; only 25,000 however were engaged
in the attack. The Mash and Portuguese tinder
arms amounted to no more than 50,000, of which but I
comparatively a small part was engaged. One line '
extended no less than eight miles.
" MASSENA directed the operations in person, and
was-conspicuous throughout the whole affair. The
different Marshals were at the head of their respective
divisions. The French could not bring their artillery
to bear, *td such of their guns as were brought into

'action, were but indifferently served. The British
artillery dtcl much execution.

From the 15th to the 27th there had been conti-
nual skirmishing, in which the British troops had uni-
formly the advantage. The battle of the 27th lasted
four hours. After the battle, MAXIMA sent in a flag
of truce to request permission to bury his dead. The
request was refused ; but they were buried by the
British. Besides the prisoners which we have already
stated to have been taken, a great number of the
wounded have fallen into our hands. A flag of truce,
with money and other articles for General Sr. Stmow,
was sent to the British head-quarters shortly after the
battle.

~ During /hese operations, the Portuguese villages
were uniformly abandoned, and every thing that
could be serviceable to the enemy was destroyed,—
The British army was abundantly supplied with every
necessary, and was in excellent health and spirits.
4, Five thousand men were on their way to rein-
force Lord WELLINGTON, who, it is understood, is
determined to persevere in his system of defence, and
of compelling the enemy to attack him under cir-
cumstances the most disadvantageous to themselves
—a system which argues the most consummate pru.
deuce, and has been attended with the most signal
success.

" We understand that Lord WELLtxGrow con&
dently expected that the French would risk another
attack. If so, the battle has in all probability long
ere this taken place ; and, from what has been wit-
nessed in the late conflict, we are warranted in hoping
that the result has proved still more glorious and
decisive."

The Princess AMELIA had a good night's rest on
Sunday, and was considered a little better yesterday
morning, but the account of the state of her Royal
Highness in the evening was not so favourable.
The Prince of WALES arrived in Town yesterday,
at one o'clock. His Royal Highness is not quite re-
covered from the gout.
The Dyke of YORK arrived in Town yesterday, at
half past three. Soon afterwards, the Earl of LIVER-
Pool. waited upon his Royal Highness at York House,
to inform him of the particulars of the dispatches re-
ceived from Lord WELLINGTON ; after which his
Royal Highness walked across the Park with the
Noble Earl to his Office.

The Dukes of SussEx and CAMBTUDGE took the di•
version of shooting yesterday, in the neighbourhood
of Windsor.

A bag from Heligoland arrived yesterday, by which
we have advices from Petersburgh of the 24th ult.
and from Riga, Hamburgh, and Heligoland, of the
Ist, sth, ani II th instant, with a series of German
Papers. The private letters contain nothing impor-
tant regarding the expected hostilities between Ru‘sia
and France, or between the former power and Austria.
Four ships have arrived from Toningen, and one ofl
them in 48 hours. They are all provided with French
licences, and were encumbered with a French Officer
until they passed Neuwerk on the Elbe, to prevent
their conveying any passengers to England.

Letters from Holland of the 11th inst. were recei-
ved yesterday. They state, that by a new Order of
the French Government, certain articles of rt ov isions
(butter among the rest) were allowed to be exported.
—Little advantage, however, was expected to be de-
rived from this permission, on account of the great
difficulty in obtaining Export Licences. Some un-
forttinate Masters of vessels, convicted of having in-'
fringed the laws against-the introduction of colonial
produce, have been lately put to death on the Con-
tinent.

Letters have been received from Bourdeaux to the
sth, and Letters and Papers from the neighbouring
coast of France to the date of the 1 lilt instant. With
the latter we have received the following sketch of a
Decree : I'alace of Fontainbleau, Oct. 3.
" The exportation of French butter shall be permitted, but it
shall continue only until the price be raised.—That is to say
" In the Department of the Mouths of the Meuse, in the
Marshes of I.cyde and Delft, at 2 francs per kilogramme.
" In the Department of the Marsh of the Calvador, of the
Lower Seine, of the Somme, and other maritime departments, at
1 franc and 50 cents. per kilogramme.

" The duties of exportation are fixed by the kelogramme at
15 cents. for the departments of the Calvador, of the Lower Seine,
ul the Somme, and other departments of Old France.

" At twenty eenti. per kilogramme for the departments uni-
ted in 1810."

FItANCE AND AMERICA.—A private letter from
P.tris of the 9th instant, states, that the following ex-
pl,oations on the points which had previously been
fonder discussion between France :And the United
Suites, were contained in a Note sent to General
clamsmm.3 by the Duc du CADORE
1. That all American ships which should arrive in French parts
betwixt this and the Ist of November next, should be compre-
hended under the Berlin and Mk., Decrees, and not under any
other existing Decree.
_ _

2. That the Decree of the 23d of March, 1610, was revoked
the moment the French Government heard of the suspension of
the Non-Intercourse Act.

3. That American ships which have not suffered their flag to
he di,honouted by submission to the British Ord:rs in Council,
shall, witho.ct difficulty, be admitted into the ports of France,
with the liberty of clearing eut again.
4. That the Emperor will give licences to American ships,
this being the on'y foreign flag favoured wit', them.
S. That American 'hips, loaded on French or American ac-
count, will be admitted into French port..
It is further stated, that the French Government''
had intimated its intention to restore the American
property sequestered in consequence of the Decree of
the '23d March, 1810, as soon as it had officially been
informed that the vessels and other property detained
in America, had been restored to the lawful owners.

The finances of Russia are in the• most deplorable
state, and unfit her for the struggle to which the
ambition of France will shortly call her. The Go-
vernment-paper is at present at a discount of nearly
three hundred per cent.
A small colony has sailed from Boston to the
Islands of Treslan de Cunha, in future to be called
the Islands of Refreshment, with a view to raise sup-
plies for vessels bound to the Cape of Good Hope
and the East Indies. The soil and climate are similar
to Madeira and the Azores, and the harbours are re.
presented as being better.
