Right hon. lord Mayor.
Extract ola letter from lord Coiiingzvood,
dated Ocean, off Cadiz, january /, By
the Princess Elisabeth, Malta Packet.
"l beg you will be pleased to inform my
lords commissioners of the admiralty, that
the Beagle has just joined with a Spanish
sch'r she captured Yesterday from Monte
NIedo, which she left on the 18th Septem-
Der; and am sorry to inform their lord
ships, she brings the accounts of Buenos
Ayrcs having been recaptured on the 18th
August; and general Beresford and the
whole troops, amounting to about 400,
were made prisoners of war, and marched
into the interior"
Dispatches are said to have reached the
admiralty on Saturday night, communicate
ing the arrival of the Carrier cutter from
oil the Texel, at Yarmouth on Friday last
She is said to have spoken vessel on the
18th from Amsterdam bound TO Droothem,
and the master, Dane, privately stated.
that IT was understood at amsterdam, that
the French had suffered considerable loss
in partial engagement near Warsaw,
which is reported to amount to about, 49,
600 men, and the combined armies about
the same number. That a general engage
ment was, it is said, shortly expected, as
the Russians had been joined by the remain
ing Prussian forces, ard were very nume-
rous.
Rumors prevailed few days since of
battle having been fought between the
French and the Russians, in which the lat
ter were said TO have been defeated with
very great loss This report rested on the
authority of a letter said to have been re-
ceived by the Austrian ambassador in Lon
don, count Stahremberg; but reports now
say, that even this etter is fabrication !;
we must wait patiently few DAYS longer,
as the next mail will, no doubt, bring us in
formation on this subject.
Saturday 3vessels, the Mercury, Aurora
and Blayde, arrived in the Thames from
the Baltic; they sailed, we understand,
from Eisineur with the fleet-Capt. White
has brought Bamberg, Frankfort and other
German papers of a later date than those
previously received. The BambePc paper
mentions the receipt of advices from War
saw to the goth December, at which peri
cd two smart actions had been fought be-
tween the French and Russians. the first
at Nawamaisto, in which about 100 Cos.
sacks were made prisoners; the other at
Cicchanoa, which appears to have been
warmly contested, in which the French arc
also stated to have prevailed.
line Bamberg editor, on the authority of
letter from Augsburg, states Dreslaw to
nave capitulated, but tho date and part-
culars are not mentioned.
The passage of troops through Frankfort,
to join the army in Poland, was unremit-
ing; and various articles of stores were
forwarded from Mayence, sc. to the same
destination.
The Russian division under gen. Tolstoy.
which has joined the Prussians, is stated at
$4,000 men OILY. The army, it appears.
has advanced to the Omulet to sustain the
corps of gen. Bennington and the Prussian
column has taken a strong position consi-
derably in advance, at Sedan, which they
are terrifying.
One OF the deputies sent from Hamburg
to Bonaparte, and who, from particular in
timacy with Tall yrand, had, it is supposed,
an opportunity to ascertain with tolerable
precision, the condition of the French army
in Poland, reports, that the French troops,
who had, OH the 22d December, crossed
the Oder, amounted to 100000 men; and
that the sick in the hospital at that date
exceeded $1,000; subsequent accounts re-
present the sick have increased to nearly
$4,000.
