Queen, the news of a victory which, on thy. ‘,4th of this month, was gained at Friedland ( ioont 20 miles south of Konigfberg) by the grand army com manded by the Emperor m person. The fol lowing particulars were given at head-quarters, and which we are authorifed to repeat, while we are waiting for the official Bulletin : “ The French army has worthily celebrated the 14th June, the anniversary of the battle of M irengo. The battle of Friedland will be cel- i titrated in history. The KulTian army, out ma-1 roeuvred, its centre penetrated, cut off from its I magazines, has been completely beaten. Eighty : pieces of cannon taken, 25 to 30,(HH) Ruffians taken, killed, or drowned in the Alle, are the results of this memorable day. Thirty Ruffian generals have been killed, taken or severely wounded. The bodies of several generals were found dead on the field of battle, and, it is wor thy of remark, that among them were the bodies of generals Pahlen and Marcouff, two of thefull jnlligators of the faction devoted to England. The regularity of our difpofttions, the intrepi dityofour troops, have greatly dinunifhed the lots ol the French army, which is not contider- 1 able, j JBF Mnniteur. The Gazette de France fays, “ In addition to the 78th Bulletin, we learn, that on the 13th June, the heail.quarters of the grand army were at Pruliun Eylau ; that the army, in two col umns, was marching to Konigfberg ; and that the advanced guards were at the gates of the city; that the Ruffian army could not sustain ail attack in’iny part, and that it was overwhelm ed and dilpci led in such a manner, as to render \ it nnpollible for them to reunite. According to other reports, the French were already in ! Konigfberg, where they entered pell-mell with tile K illians But this lait needs confirmation.

This bulletin gives an accouut of the overtures of peace, made during the winter ; and of their being interrupted by the attacks of the Ruffians. AC l lON OF SPANDEN. June 4th A the Ruffian army put several of its divitions in motion. The right attacked the bridge-head of spaiiJen, which general Brere defended with the 27th regiment. Twelve Rus fi m regiments made vain efforts ; they renewed them seven times, and seven times were repulsed. Ii the mean time the Prince of Ponte Corvo ( Bi rnadolte) had assembled his troops, hut be fore they could ad, a charge of the 17th dra goons forced the enemy to retreat. Thus dur ing’a whole dayj two divilions made repeated tinfiieciATp] attacks on one regiment ; but it null be owued'this regiment was entrenched. Ia vif.ting the entreehments between one of the Marlhal Bernadotte was (lightly wound ed, which will render him unable to resume his command for a fortnight. Our lots is trifling. The enemy loft 12(H), and many wounded. BATTLE OF LOMILTEN. Two Ruffian divisions from the centre also at. tacked the bridge-head of Lomilten. General Terry’s brigade defended it. Two regiments Tepulied the enemy the whole day. The ab batisaml works were covered with deaj Rus ftans. Their general was killed ; and their loss 1 100 killed, 100 prisoners, and great numbers wounded. We 101 l 120 men killed and wound ed. M eamvhile the Ruffian commander in chief I ( Benningfen ) with the Imperial guards and three divisions, attacked Marflial Ney’s petition at Alikirkeen, Guttlladt, and Wollfdorf, and were repulsed mail quarters ; but when Marlhal Ney dift'overed that his assailants exceeded +O,OOO men, he obeyed his iuftruclions, and led his corps to Ackendorff. BATTLE OF DEPPEN. June 6th, the e.iemy attacked the 6th corps at Dcppea, ou the Paffarge. They -were over turned TV njfincetfres, tSTenfs, and intrepid ity of] MalfhtTNcy, and o ther officers, are worthy of* the greatell eulo : g.um—./'he eceniy.gp;)/efs the loss of 2000 kil led, and 30tX) wounded. We had ICO killed, 200 wounded, and 270 prisoners, made by the Cossacks, who bad polled themselves in the rear of the army. AFF IR OF THE Bth. i On the Bth the emperor arrived at Dcppen, and gave the necessary orders. 7'lie 4th corps moved to Woolf,dorf, where it met a Ruffian division, about to join the main army, attacked it, diiabled 500 men, took 150, and in the eve ning took poll at Altkieken. At this moment the emperor advanced on Guftadt, with Ney’s and Eannes’ corps, his guards and the referv<* of the cavalry. 7en thousand cavalry, and 1.5,000 infantry, of the enemy’s rear guard, took possession of Glottnu, and attempted to dispute the passage. Marlhal Murat, after Eime (kilful manoeuvres, drove them From tl ,eir positions, and the light cavalry i a “d heavy dragoons triumphed over all the ef forts of rheenemy, and in the evening we enter ed Gi,ft a dt by force. One thousand prisoners, the possession of the positions before Gulladtand t\ie routing of the infa. try, were the confequen cesoftheday. The Ruffian liorfe guards were peculiarly severely handled. AFFAIR OF JUNE 10th. The army advanced towards Heilsburgh, and carried several camps. The enemy’s rear-guard, ! of from 15 to 18,000 cavaliy, and several lines , of infantry, were formed at a miles dillance.— ■ The Spanilh cuiraffieurs, and other corps, char. ! ged them, and gained ground. Two diviffions i of Marlhal Soult’s corps marched on the right, ! while Legrand s division marched on the left, I —The whole Ruffian army was at Heilsburgh ; • they reinforced their advanced columns. More , than 00 field pieces poured death, whilst they | f were thus supporting their columns, which our divisions drove back with the moll undaunted : courage and iinpetuolity. Several Ruffian di ’ villous were routed, and at 9 p. m. we were under tile enemy’s entrenchments. Several di vilions performed prodigies Verdiere’s divi fiou cut off the enemy’s retreat by Landsburgh ; and l'everal companies went so far as to intuit the Ruffians in tlteir entrenchments. Some brave men met death near the pillifadccs. The Emperor palled the 1 Ith on the field of battle, m iking arrangements for a deciftve ac tion. The whole Ruffian army was assembled, and Heilsburgh was full of llores and rendered very llrong. The Emperor ordered Davoult to form on the lower Alle, and cut off the road to Eylau. Each corps had its assigned poll, and were all aflembled, excepting the 111 which was on the lower l’affarge. Thus the Ruffians who had recommence i hollilities, found themielves blockaded. Battle was ottered them :It was thought they would attack on the 11th whilst the French aimy was forming; but inllead of attacking, they began at night to crol's to the right bank ol the Alle, and gave up the whole country on tl.eir left, leaving their wounded at the mercy of the victor, as well as their maga zines, and those entrenchments, the fruit offo much arduous exertion. On the 12th, at day break, all the army was in motion. All the huules are filled with ttie Ruffian wounded. From the sth to the 12th, the enemy’s army has been deprived of about 30,(H)0 lighting men ; they left in our hands from 3 to 4000 men ; seven or eight pairs of co lors, and 9 pieces of artillery ; and, accord ing to the accounts’ of deserters, several impor tant generals. Our lots is about 600 or 700 killed, 2000 or 2200 wounded, and 300 prilon ers. A Spanilh general is wounded. Gen. Rouffell ol the Imperial Guards, had his head lhot off; Marlhal Murat had two horses killed under him ; one of his aids (Begun) 101 l an arm. Several other officers were wounded. We found in the magazines of Heilsburg, several tlioiilaud quintals of flour, and large quantities of proviftons of various kinds. T’lie Emperor Alexander left his army fome days belore the campaign opened. LONDON, June, 22. It is reported that a change has taken place in the Russian ministry, that baron Budoerg has resigned, and M. Noviltzoff received the port folio ol foreign affairs, and that count Ro mauzotv has been succeeded by count strog onott in the commercial department. The latter not long since left his qountry, and his appoint ment will, it is supposed, be extremely favora ble to this country. Holland is at present strangely situated she is apprehensive of an invasion, and she is without a chief magistrate. Louis Bonaparte, according to private letters from Holland, has abdicated the throne in consequence ol a mis understanding between him and his brother. Ills conduct, though grateful to the people, be cause it favored their commerce, displeased Napoleon. The wish of the latter is to dis tress the English trade by ail possible means. Does he ruin his ally or his dependent by car rying his wishes into execution—this is to him a matter oi indifference. Private letters state that as soon as Louis Bonap.,rte was placed upon the throne, he saw the ruin which his brother’s system was bringing upon the country. The people approached him with uncommon repre sentations of their distress, and implored him to abrogate that prohibitory commercial system, which bv cutting oft'all foreign communication intercepted all foreign demand, and ruined a country which could only support itself by means oi its richer neighlxirs L uis Bonaparte appears to have been mov ed by the scene of distress before him. The system was partially abrogated, and the com munication opened between England and Hol land, through the indirect medium of neutrals. It is slated, that these indulgencies provoked the indignation of the emperor Napoleon. 1 lie first of it experienced by the king of Holland was, the desertion of his wife, the daughter of the French empress; who after some successful intrigues, withdrew from her husband to her mother. Louis Bonaparte, wearied with these in trigues, and having in vain solicited permission to retire, has at length abdicated the throne, and withdrawn himself nto Italy. The Dutch provinces are in consequence, in the greatest confusion; they have implored the return of Louis. “ I hat monarch whom they have known long enough to love, and whose retreat will re new that state of confusion and distress, from which his moderation and princely humanity had but begun to relieve them.” Letters have been received from the fleet under vice-admii al lord Collingwood, off Cadiz, dated about 12 days since, all of which agree that the combined squadron, about twelve or thirteen sail of the line, are ready for sea, and it is supposed if our fleet were by accident driven off their station, they would endeavor to make a grand push to get out through the gut of Gibraltar, and endeavor to form a junc tion with the Carthagena or Toulon squadron, or perhaps with both. But lord Collingwood is on the alert, and his cruising frigates form a line of communication from Cadiz bay to his fleet in the oiling, for the purpose of com municating information directly by the tele graphic signals. 1 he V ienna Court Grzette draws a very dif ferent picture of the state of affairs in Turkey from the French and Dutch papers. The blockade of the Dardanelles and of the canal of Constantinople has reduced the capital to great distress. The captain Pacha seems un willing to quit the security of the sea of Mar mora, and the Turkish squadron which enter ed into the Black Sea, has been driven out of it by the Russians. General .Michelson’s position remains nearly the same. He has not evacuated Maldavia and Wallachia, and has lately received considerable reinforcement. June 23. The Swedish minister, M. Adelbert, the successor of baron Rehacson, came over in the packet with a Prussian officer, with dispatches from general Blucher to onr government. The new parliament met yesterday, but nothing more was done than the electing a speaker. Mr. Abbot was unanimously chosen, every member bearing testimony to the ability, the independence and the attention with which he has discharged the duties of that great of fice during the two last parliaments. There were about 200 members present in the house of commons. The number of peers that took their oaths and seats in the house of peers was very gieat. BRITISH HOUSE OF LORDS, June 2S. The Lord Chancellor, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Dartmouth, and Lord Ayles loid, took their seats as commissioners, imme diately below the throne, and the commons being a few minutes after in attendance, below the bar, the lord chancellor read the following speech : Alt/ Fords and Gentlemen , We have in command From his majesty, to state to you that, having deemed it expedient to recur to the sense of his people, Ins majesty, in conformity to his declared intention, has lost no time in causing the present parliament to be assembled. Ilis majesty has great satisfaction in ac quainting you, that, since the events which led to the dissolution of the last parliament, his ma jesty has received in numerous addresses from his subjects, the warmest assurances of their affectionate attachment to his person and go vernment, and of their firm resolution to sup port him in maintaining the just rights of his crown, and the true principles of the constitu tion ; and he commands us to express his en tire confidence that he shall experience, in all his deliberations, a determination to afford him ail equally loyal, zealous and affectionate sup port, under all the arduous circumstances of the present tune. We are commanded by his majesty to in form you, that his majesty’s endeavors have been most anxiously employed for the purpose ol drawing closer the ties by which his majes ty is connected with the powers of the conti nent ; ol assisting the efforts of those powers against the ambition and oppression oi l-'ranee ; ol forming such engagements as may ensure their continual co-operation ; and of establish ing that mutual confidence and consent, so es sential under any course of events, to the res toration of a solid and permanent peace in Eu rope. It would have afforded his majesty the great est pleasure, to have been enabled to inform you that the mediation undertaken by his ma jesty for the purpose of preserving peace be tween his majesty’s ally the emperor of Rus sia and the Sublime Forte had proved effectual for that important object ; he deeply regrets the failure of that mediation, accompanied as it was by the disappointment of the efforts of his majesty’s squadron in the sea of Marmora, and followed as it has since been by the losses which have been sustained by his gallant troops in Egypt-, His majesty could not hut lament the exten sion ot hostilities in any quarter which should create a div ersion in the war so favoi able to the vievys of France ; but lamenting it, especially in the instance of a power with which his majes ty has been so closely connected, and which has been so recently indebted lor its protec tion, agunst the encroachments of France, to the signd and successful interposition of his majesty’) arms. His majesty has directed us to acquaint you, that he fits thought it right to adopt such mea sures as night best enable him, m concert with the emptier of Russia, to take advantage of any favomblc opportunity for bringing the hos tilities in which they are engaged against the .Sublime Porte, to a conclusion, consistent to his majesty’s honor, and the inteiesis of his ally. Gentlemen of the House of Commons , His majesty has ordered the estimates for (he current year to be laid before you, and he relies on the tried loyalty and zeal oi his faith ful commons to make such provision lor tlie. public service, as well as for the further appli cation of the sums which were granted in the last parliament, as may appear to be necessary. And his majesty, bearing constantly in mind the necessity of a careful and economical ad ministration of the pecuniary resources of the country, has directed us to express his hopes that you will proceed, without delay, in the pursuit of those enquiries connected with the public economy, which engaged the attention of the last parliament. My Lords and Gentlemen, His majesty commands us to state to you, that he is deeply impressed with the peculiar importance, at the present moment, of cherish ing a spirit of union and harmony amongst his people ; such a spirit will most effectually promote the prosperity of the country at home, will give vigour and efficacy to its councils and arms abroad, and can alone enable his majesty, under the blessing of providence, to carry on successfully, the great contest in which he >s engaged,or finally to conduct it to that termi nation which his majesty’s moderation and jus tice have ever led him to seek—peace, in which the honor and interests of his kingdom can be secure, and in which Europe and the worl(J may hope for independence and repose, ORDER OF COUNCIL. At a court held at the Queen’s palace or Wednesday last, the following order in council was issued: Present, the King’s most excellent majesty in council. June 17.—1 tis this day ordered by his ma jesty in council, that all ships and goods belong ing to the inhabitants of Hamburgh and Bre men, which, since the Ist of January last, have been, and are now detained in the ports of this kit gdom, shall be restored upon being pro nounced by the high court of admiralty to be long to the inhabitants aforesaid, and not other wise liable to confiscation, and that the said ships and goods shall be permitted to proceed to any neutral port. And it is further ordered, that ships and goods so belonging, shall not in future be liable to detention, provided such ships and goods shall be engaged in a trade to or from any part of this kingdom, or between neutral and neutral port. But all ships and goods belonging to the inhabitants aforesaid, which shall be found trading with any hostile port, and not going from or coming to any port of this kingdom, shall be detained and brought in for legal adjudication, and shall be adjudged as lawful prize to his majesty. And the right honorable the lords commissioners ol his majesty’s treasury, the lords commis sioners of the admiralty, and the judge of the high court of admiralty, are to give the neces sary directions herein, as to them respectively appertain. W. FAVY KN'ER. Extract of letters from Haz’anna, dated July 10, 1807, to a respectable mercantile house in At w- York. 41 An order was issued yesterday from the intendant to the collector of the customs, to examine all goods in the custom-house at pie sent, and such as may enter hetcalier with in structions to detain, for the present, such as may appear to be ol English manufacture ; but we presume it hardly possible, that our govern ment will proceed to extremities until due no tice shall have been given to your merchants, through the medium of your news-papers.” Extract oj another letter dated July 13. “ The order we mentioned in our’s ol the 10th, have been put into execution, and all the English merchandises or manufactures in tli* custom-house have been detained, but we ap prehend they will be dispatched, and that for some time to come their introduction will be winked at. 1 his step of our government has its origin in the high admiral’s order, publish ed in your paper, for we understand it has not been teceived heie officially; but until your merchants gel further advices on this subject, they will do well to suspend their shipments of English goods.” r It is a pleasing spectacle to view those fo reigners who have made this country their home, embodying themselves for the defence of the tcpublic. The Hibernians in particular, who have been heretofore shamefully traduced by certain prints in the Union, display a spirit descriptive of freemen. Several companies; composed ol individuals of that country, have been formed, and are training to arms with all possible expedition in this city. Among others, w’c led a nigh degree ol pleasure tn mentioning the Baltimore Union Greens ; and particularly as it gives us an apportunity to no tice theii colors, the design of which is attribu ted to Mr. 1 homas Moore, merchant.
