SATURDAY, JANUARY 4.

We are informed last evening, that on a
margin of a letter, received by the brig
Sally Tracy, from Bordeaux, it was stated,
that news had reached that place, that
there had been a general battle between
Massena and the Arch-Duke Charles,
which terminated in the loss OF $4,000 of
the Arch Dukes army. This news may be
true-the letter comes TO a person OF re.
spectability, and is later than our printed
accounts from France.
