Yesterday Government received some accounts
from the Peninsula, chiefly relating to the compara-
tive strength of the armies on the frontier of Spain
and Portugal. These accounts, though coming
through a respectable channel, are not understood to
have come in .1n official form ; but report says, they
came through the Spanish Legation. These accounts,
it is said, confute the details of the prodigious accu-
mulation of force under MASSENA, whose army we
are told, (but we hesitate to believe it), consists only
of 33,000 men, exclusive of the detachments under
KELLERMAN, in Leon, and under JUNUT and REGNIER
on the Tagus and the Guadiana.
There seems to be a general persuasion, both in
the city and at the west end of the town, that some
important event has taken place in the Peninsula be-
fore this time. To this general belief, more than to
any authentic accounts, should be ascribed the con-
tradictory rumours that are now in circulation. One
of these rumours states, that a dreadful conflict had
taken place between the Allied Army and the French,
and which terminated honourably and successfully
to the former. On the other hand, another report
states directly the contrary, and adds, that the British
army was on its retreat to the roast, for the purpose of
embarking on board the transports provided by Go-
vernment for such an exigency.—We think neither of
these reports entitled to credit ; were real accounts
actually in town of any such events, they could not
remain secret for an hour.

A gentleman who arrived yesterday from Corunna
states, that, for the purpose of reinforcing themselves
in Leon, the French, under BONNET, have withdrawn
altogether from Asturias. It seems that an expected
attempt on the part of the Gallician army, com-
manded by General MAIII, to co-operate with Lord
WELLINGTON, had occasioned this movement.

Captain DAvss, whose arrival from France we no-
ticed in our paper of Tuesday, states, that within the
last two months, up-wards of 160,000 fine troops had
passed through Bourdeaux, to join the French armies
in Spain.

This morning we received German Papers, and
private letters, to the instant. They contain
same inrther particulars respecting the war between
the Turks and Russians. It appears that the former,
(as was stated in the STAR of Tuesday) have sus-
t ,fined mother defeat—so serious that it is thought
th.l, will instantly sue for peace.
The Kizic of HOLL IND, according to the reports
current at Hanibnrgh, took the resoluticn of abdi-
cating only when he found that he could not prevent
NAPOLEON from sending French troops to all the

Dutch garrisons.
The fnilowing are the principal articles contained
in these Papers and Letters :

EXIRA'_T OF A LETTER THOM PARIS :

General Krusentark, the Prussian Minister, was
among the number who were wounded at the fete
liven Ly Prince Sclo.vartzenberg. Neither pumps
nor water i.v.;re wanting, but the progress of the tire
was so rapid that all attempts to extinguish it were
found useless. Some ladders which were placed
against the wall on the. side of Providence-street, to
take over the wounded and women, enabled some
thieves to slip into the gai den and apartments, vhsre
they stole many valuable effects, particularly dia-
monds. Prince Kurakin lost all hi.; jewels.
