The next morning, viz. the '2lst of May, at day-
break, the French Army, commanded by BONA
PXRTP, attacked Count WITTGENSTEIN'S position in
advance of Wurtzen, and, it appears, he bad as-
sembled oil his forces for this effort; in assurance,
no doubt, if successful, of bringing his antagonists
to ask for an'Arnilitice, nod thereby ha enabled.: for
Ithe fourth time, to dictate the terms of a Peace.—,,

kirch. The theatre of contest appears propitious to,
the Allies, one of their flanks uncommonly well sue-
i tained (appuicd), the ground in the centre favourable
for cavalry, and several of the intervening parts of the
plain fortified by batteries, Ileches, &c. the extent of
the whole line between three and four English miles.
Bomarann's determination was first to press upon
the flanks, very natural in a Commander who was
conscious of his inferiority in cavalry, but the Allies
were not unprepared for this species of onset.—
The cootest in the mountains gradually uitmed,
which BONAPARTE, supported by a powerful line
of artillery, a happy succedaneum for his want of a
proportionate cavalry. We may judge of the ardour
and anxiety of the French Emperoi in this affair
from Sir Cnarmts's obsert ation, that" BONAPARTE
was now visible on a commanding spot, directing
the-battle."' He deployed in front of. Bautzen his
guards, cavalry, and lancers, and showed heavy co-
lumns olinfantry on the esplanade before it ; in short,
he appears to have. employed every class of force
with which an army..is composed, as if all ought
to be hazarded in. an exploit in which fortune has
tutored and flattered him to believe, could not full
him while he took part in it. Buicitett's corps,
though well provided with cavalry, was the first
which confessed 'its attempt to dislodge the enemy
from his strong position had failed. BA.ROLAY DE
ToLLy was attacked by a superior force under Mar-
shal NEY and General LADRISTON, and forced to
abandon the villages of Klutz and Cannervitz ; and
even General BLUCHER, endeavouring to support
him, and turn the enemy, met with a most sangui-
nary assault, although the behaviour of the Prus-*
sians is said to exceed all praise. In short, the su-
periority of the numbers with the enemy, is acknow-
ledged to have triumphed over the heroism of the
Allies. After making a few judicious remarks,
which naturally occur to a well schooled soldier, our
ambassador reluctantly and painfully observes-:--" It
was only from considerations of such a nature as I
have above detailed, that the Allies were induced to
change (heir position at five o'clock in the evening,
having from day-break admirably contested every
part of the field of battle." He calls the narrative
a faithful account of what he personally witnessed ;
nor do we see any reason to doubt of his ac-
curacy, except in the article of disparity of numbers:
'that we confess we could not suppose to have been so
.great. He subjoins, 46 From the most authentic in-
formation I can procure, the force of the Allies did
net exceed 65,000 men ; that of the enemy I estimate
at least at 120,000."—The loss on both sides he af-
firms to be great—" the enemy's tremendous,"
though he is unable to state the numbers with any
accuracy.

We have been the more particular in oar analysis
of this famous battle, it !win communicated to us
in a intelligible a style, evincing as it does the pen

In the last acconatf from Paris, villich contain in-
telligence received by the EMPRESS of the state of the
armies at the date 29th May, it is'asserted that Gen.
WITTGENSTEIN has -resigned his command into the
Lands of 13AncLAY DE ToEvE ; an unfavourable
omen, in our opinion, and reminds us of the fate
of SuwAnnow. The French army finds in Silesia
the greatest abundance of every thing. That pro=
since is described as a continued garden : but the
most important part pf •these papers is that, which
announces the arrival of an Aid-tie. Camp of the Em-
peror of 11.3.1,0, accompanied by the Prussian Gene-
ral, KirisT, at the advanced post of the enemy,
where the Duke of VicENzE went to meet them, With
a flag of truce; the iuterview being believed to relate
to the negociation of an armistice.

LOSS OF THE EUPHR tTES INTHAMAN.—The Hon:
o.mpany's ship Euphrates, Capt. HERBERT, which
left this port (Columbo) on the 29th of December,
grounded, at about eleven o'clock 'on the night of the
11st instant, on the rocks off Dondra Head, within a
hundred yards of the shore. The wind being exceed-
' ingly light, and a fine star-light night, the ladies and
I all the passengers were safely landed, and an express
having been sent off to Mature', notifying the misfor-
-1 tune which had happened, the Civil and Military
Officers immediately set off for the spot to render
every assistance in their power.—Before day-light the
; vessel had three feet water on her orlop deck, and
i was become a perfect wreck, lying on her beam-ends ;
every soul on board had, in the mean time, been
landed 9 with the principal part of the passengers'
baggage, and some of the cargo. On the 3d she re-
mained in the same situation, and hopei were enter-
tained that more of the property might be saved be-
e fore the ship should go to pieces. The Northampton,
which sailed from Portsmouth in company with the
I Euphrates, arrived here in the offing last night—

The Spanish and Portuguese Papers which have
lately been received, abound in errors and rnis-state-
ments, particularly respecting tile amount of the al-
lied force in the Peninsula, and the time of opening
the campaign. The amount of the allied force is
considerably exaggerated. The British troops do
not exceed, at the utmost, 41,000 infantry and ca-
valry, with perhaps 3000 artillery, to which max be
added 26,000 Portuguese, in all 70,000 men; the
Spdfilrelt tee karcely.
paign, according to these papers, has already'been'
opened ; but that is not the case—nor will it open ef-
fectually before the second week of the present month
—nor will it then commence under very promising
auspices. The troops continue to be in arrears of
pay ; they have not been paid since the 24th Decenii
ber, 1812 ; nor have the staff allowances been Made
good since the month of October of the same zear.—
These are circumstances, which cannot add much to
the alacrity of the men, nor the comfort of the. Offi-
cers. Besides, the Spaniards in general are very far
from being satisfied with our exertions • and the
.British,
_perhaps, are no where more cordially hated
than at Cadiz. Here,' then, there is another Wind;
refractory nation, who will not be convinced that
the British Cabinet exceeds every other in the wisdom
of its plans, and the vigour of. their execution.
• Few expression. are snore apparently indigenous
than the vulgar one of "such a person is gone to pot,"
i.e. is dead. Yet it was imported to us from the extre-
mity of the globe, the metropolis of Tartnry. 'are
told that a tailor of Samarcand, who lived near the
gate which led to the burial ground, whenever a corpse
was carried by, threw a little stone into an earthen
pot, fixed th his cupboard, to calculate the number
of deaths in a certain space of time. At length the
tailor died himself, and •s passenger observing his,
shop to be glint up, enquired of a neighbour concern-
ing him, and was answered, ” the tailor is gone to
pot as well as the rest."

Private accounts from India, received by the fleet,

the Company. The Burmah General bad sent an
' intimation thereof to the Company's' Resident at
Chittagong—the army in consequence was withdrawn
from the banks of the Naaf. Hostilities having
ceased proved very beneficial, as the troops were
suffering very severely from fever.
A hydraulic engine has lately been invented for the
gaol of Roscommon, which conveys the water by the
easy work of two men, at the rate of a thousand
gallons an hour, one hundred feet perpendicular, to
the reservoir on the platform, whence it is distributed
to the several corridors, for the accommodation of the
prisoners. There are besides distinct communica-
tions from the main tube, for supplying the bath,
cleansing the different yards, sewers, and ether nui-
sances ; and the machine is so contrived as to act, itt
cases of fire, in any part of the town. Such is the
mechanic power of this engine, that, by a very sim.
ple movement, it may be made obedient, on any ex.
traordinary emergency, to the slight effort of a single
individual.
