The expedition has failed and as ienti-

Hanoverians-not that we with they lhould fall

The tatt OF general engagement being Mac
ed beyond all doubts, our only hope is, that
that the extent of the lois Retained bv our AL
Hes IS exaggerated, but we are not without our
fears that Napoleon has gained Ggna victory.
The Ruiiians, beiides the army lately collected
on the Paiiarge, and which, acc ,nding to thcfe
accounts, has been defeated by the French,
nave, 1t is laid, an army Of referve, of fufici-
ent itrength to be fill able to prefent mott
formidable reilfance TO the enemy. This may
be true but if the army under Bennington has
been deitroyed, we ihoud i'll perform our duty
