I subjoin a return of the loss of the army of his
Royal Highness in the battle of the 27th. The loss
of threnemy must have been immense, as appears
from the statement of the prisoners, and the wounded
whom he abandoned, when he made his movement
towards our left.. He left on the Add of battle more
than two thousand killed, and several of his Generals
have been wounded. Brigadier-General Simon was
made prisoner, and the officers whom we have taken
say, that Generals Merle, Lacune, and Grandorge,
are among the wounded:

COPENHAGEN, OCTOBER 6.
In expectation of the Swedish Crown Prince pass-
ing through Zealand in his way to Sweden, his Ma-
jesty the King has ordered, that the Chamberlain,

DANTZICR, OCTOBER 1.
The English, alarmed at the confiscations and
losses which they had met with in Mecklenburgh and
Prussian Pomerania, had sent their cruizers to prevent
their merchantmen from entering Pillau and other
ports of Old Prussia. Having afterwards learned
that the French are not in the occupation of these
ports, Admiral Saurnarez gave new orders to the
merchant ships to proceed to the ports of Old Prussia.
It is now, in fact, a week since 18 of these ships,
richly laden, made their appearance off Pillau. The
Prussians sent them back : would they not have done
better by permitting them to enter, and then confa-
cating.them
Thai are now at Gottenburgh 600 ships loaded
with colonial produce and English goods, which
knoir not where to go. Many.of these ships have
resolved to sail for Russia ; but if they enter the
Russian ports, they will meet the same fate with the
vessels from Teneriffe. However, the Ist of Novem-
ber approaches, the period when the English Beet
. and these 600 shipi must quit the Baltic. The losses
which English commerce is about to sustain from
their return are incalculable ; and if already there
have been 100 bankruptcies is London, the list must
soon be doubled.

Certainly, if in the next spring the Continental
Powers adopt the same measures, and they are exe-
cuted with fidelity, England will not be able to sup-
port this general exclusion of her commerce.
Some persons believe that many of the English
ships will not return to England, and that they will
conceal themselves among the isles of Sweden ; but
that Power must at last keep its engagements, and in
that case it would be able to make immense tonfis-
cations.

Last night we received German papers to the 15th
inst. By an article from Dantzic it would seem that
the conduct of Prussia on the subject of British coin.
merce in the Baltic, is not quite satisfactory to he
French Government. A number of vessels, laden
with English produce or manufactures, which lately
endeavoured to enter the port of Pilieu, were warned
off by the Prussians. This mode of proceeding is in.
directly censured in this question :—" Would they
not have done better by permitting them to enter, and
then confiscating them ?" It is a grand principle is
NAPOLEPbes policy to infuse into his allies and vassal
states the same rancour against his opponents and
contempt of the laws of nations that he himself pos.
seises ; and his spleen bursts forth whenever they
shew any disposition to adhere to the honourable
usiges of former times.
This morning, we received German Papers to the
14th instant, from which we have given extracts. It
will be sea, that the new Crown Prince of Sweden
bas arrived at Hambargh, on his way to Gomm
burgh. The Germairoumals seem eage:lytoatcb
lit every opportuitity of introducing the name of Gpi.
TAVU3 ADOLTillal, the exiled. King of Sweden, who
appears to be actively employed in travelling frox
place to place is the North of Europe.
The Ex-king of Holland, Loma, has let Toplitt,
on a visit to tbit Eiperor of Atnrram, at Gratz.

French Journals to the 16th have also been received
in town. They contain Kumasi's account of the
Battle Busaco; in which he -claims the viCterY,
liming gained possession of the important posts d
Coimbra, Thomar, Leitia, Rio Meyer, &c. and that
an immense quantity of stores g all kinds had fallen
into his hands as the fruits of his ♦ictory. He states
the loss of the Allies at 7000 men—that they had de-
serted the whole country to the French, with the es-
ception of their own entrenched lines. He concludes
with saying that he was in full and dose pursuit of
the British, with his sword nearly in Lord Witurso-
row's back.

It was naturally to be expected that an extravagant
account of the battle would be given. Where a country
is deprived of a free press, there is nothing so easy as
to impose upon the people any story, however impro-
bable. but the; circumstance of his having left two
thousini dead upon the field to be buried by Lard
tVNLLINGTON'S army, cannot be reconciled with his
stateifient.

singular decree, respectliti diamestic servantss
was issued at Fontainebleau the beginning of this
month. In no country that we have ever heard of
has that class of persons been subjected to such severe
and oppressive regulations. Under the guise of
measure of police, this new regulation is, in fat, cos
of the most horrible and comprehensive slaws of
alum:nage that suspicious tyranny ever devised.

The Princess ASTPLIA was in the same distressing

Some of our contemporaries have attempted to °C•
count for the non-arrival of dispatches from Lisb°6
on the ground of the prevalence of northerly winds,
and have augured much mischief should circumstances
compel our troops to embark at this moment from
Portugal. We can assure our readers that in the re-
sent season of the year, transports would not be a!
