Royal Highness in the battle of the 47th. The loss
of the enemy must have been immense, as appears
from the statements of the prisoners, and the
wounded, whom he almodotted, when he made his
movement towards our left. 11c left on the field of
battle more than 2000 killed, and several of his
Generals have been wounded. Brigadier-General
Simon was made prisoner, and time Officers whom
we have taken say, that Generals Merle, Lacune,
and Grandorge, are among the wounded.

LONDON;

•-••••......
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 272 1810.

We this morning received German Papers to the
14th inst. BERNADOTTE arrived at Hamburg), on
the 11th, and was received with every possible ho-
nour. Great preparations are making in Denmark
and Sweden to receive him. It is said, he is created
Generalissimo of all the Swedish forces. An arti.
cle, dated Geneva, 23d of September, states, that
the Queen of llot.tAND had set out for Paris, and
that Juscvnixt is to go to Neufchatel. Part of the
French troops at Geneva have marched fur Spain.
...The Archduke CHARLES, it is said, is to re.
slime the dignity of Generalissimo, on the Ist
of 11,2zt month. --The late KING Of HOLLAND
has left Toiilitz for Gratz, to pay a visit to
the Emperor of AUSTRIA ; and, it is added,
that he will afterwards go to France. The French
EMPEROR is pursuing English commerce through
every part of the Continent. The regulations, re-
specting colonial producc,that arc iii force in France,
will be established throughout tilt:whole:confederation
of the Rhine ; and an Imperial Decree, dated Fon.
tainbleau, the 21 instant, ordains that all sorts of
colonial produce, which shall henceforth enter the
Duchy of Mecklenburgli, the province of Lauen.
burgh, thellanseTowns, and all the countries situated
between the sea and the line of the French customs,
from the Rhine to the Baltic, are subjected to new and
uncommon duties, whether such goods be imported
with licences, or proceed from prizes, &c. Raw
sugars pay 300 francs per quintal ; cocoa WOO
francs ; Brazil, Cayenne, and Demerara
cotton, 800 francs..--Other articles, in these Ger-
man Papers, will be found interesting.

Paris Papers were received yesterday, from which
we have made extracts. The most remarkalde arti-
cle they contain, is a Decree of BONAPARTE re-
specting domestic servants. It, in fact, imposes
upon that useful part of the community, the most
hurthensome and odious slavery. What motive
BONAPARTE can have in passing this Decree, it is
not easy to devise. Success, and an uncontronled
will seem, at length to have led him to actual insanity.
It is said, there is a Moniteur in town, containing
MassENA's official account of the battle of Busaco,
in which he boasts of having driven the. British
before him, and of having taken a gteat number
of prisoners. He concludes with saying that he
was in full and close pursuit of the British, with
his sword nearly in Lord WELLINGTON'S back.
We do not know, that there is any such document ;
and if there is, such rhodomantadc is unworthy of
notice. It has, however, been said here, that
by the sue:.essful movement which MASSEIA directed
to Sardao, and by the rapidity of his march to turn
the left of the Allies, he succeeded in getting pos.
session of Figueras before the whole of our maga-
zines had been removed from thence to Peniche.
It is added, that a quantity of provisions fell into
his hands, and we have no doubt the seizure will
be augmented in his report of the battle and its
consequences) in thellionfteur, whenever that ap-
ap,peatii.

Private accounts state that the object of the Em.
peror of A USTRIA'S visit to nark is to concert some
measures with BONAPARTE relative to Spain, the
Sovereignty of which it is proposed to confer on the
Archduke Cunt Les.

We have this day given Marshal BERESTORD'S
Dispatches to the Portuguese Government, giving
an account of the battle of Busacol to which we
refer our Readers.

A Report prevailed yesterday morning that Lord
WELLINGTON had sustained a signal defeat. IVe
could trace this to no authentic source, and there
was no arrival from Portngal ; therefore we
treated the report as a fabrication, and it turns out
to be such, in order to dt.pre.s the Funds, which it
effected. The double crime of 4 frand of this na-
ture scarcely needs any words of indignation to
itecivnpany it ; but we could nisi; to guard the pub.
lie mind (tom being played upon by Mercenary and
worthless beings.
