Besides those of the 18th and 18Th, which
we exclusively noticed in our last, Paris pa
pers to the 10th inst. reached town on Tues
day night, ~hich unfortunately lea, { no room
for doubling the character OF the battle gain
ed by the French at Lutzen, and the allies
having retreated across the Elbe, and Bona
parte having entered Dresden on The 9Th, to
which city he proceeded by Waldheim and
Nossen.
1t is now stated, that in the battle of Lnt-
zen, the French took 5000 prisoners, and 10
pieces OF Cannon, and that the allies took Ill
prisoners. Much ridicule is thrown upon
the Russians for having ordered TIE DcuB1
to be sung at Dresden, for victory gained
by the allies at Lutzen!

dir by the Kent packet in days. We are
extremely concerned 10 state that differen
ces had taken place between the British and
Spaniards at the seat of government. 1t ap-
pears to be manifest that the latter are anx-
ious to procure the removal of the British
garrison.
In consequence of the continued hostii.
ties of the Danes, the governor of Heligoland
has prohibited any vessel from England
proceeding up the Elbe. On the 9th, a Bril-
tlsh vessel, from England, was captured in
tnat river by the French.
The London Morning Chronicle, speaking
of the retreat of the allied armies, says, f" this
retreaiag system, we fear, must be continu-
ed under circumstances OF great disadvan.
tage, rs from every account we learn that
the allies have neither magazines nor com
mlsar,at In their rear, whilst they will have
at the same time to encounter the most dis
tressing endorsements arising from the
CraV c,ul,t ~b pf,I
crseity, then, to rouse the population Of
Germany only to desert them"
LONDON, May %.
The accounts received in the course of
the week from Hamburg, we lament to say,
have been OF a most unpleasant nature. a
report was yesterday in circulation, that the
French occupied that city on the 18th, the
Danes having negotiated in vain for a recog-
milton OF its neutrality we believe, howe-
YER, that no sdvices Of so late a date have
been received. According TO the latest &C.
counts the French were in pos ession of
Williamsburg, which commands the city,
and from the preparations which were max
ing there TO lombard it, but slender hope
vas entertained for the safety of the place

Montrose packet, Capt. Blewett from Bra,
Ills, which she left ON the 26th February, az
which time there was no particular news.
The American frigate Essex was still on
that coas', but being much in want Of repair,
was expected TO go into port shortly.
London paper of May ~. states that

returned ns days, without hearing any thing
