hen ; but the division of Dupont,"which formed | the right of the reserve, marched on the im perial guard, overthrew it, and made a horrible carnage. The enemy drew from his reserve and his centre, other corps to defend Priedland. Vain efforts! Friedland was forced and its streets were covered with dead. The centre, which marshal Lannes com manded, found itself engaged at this moment. The effort which the enemy had made on the extremity of the right of the French army hav ing failed, he endeavored to make the same attempt on the centre ; he was received as was to be expected, by the brave divisions, com manded by Oudinot, Verdier and the Marshal. The charges of infantry and cavalry could not retard the march of our columns ; all the efforts of Russian bravery were useless, they could stop nothing, and found death on our bayonets. Marshal Mortier, who. throughout the whole day, gave great proofs of his coolness and intre pidity, m supporting the left, then inarched for ward, and was supported by the fusiliers of the guard, which geneial bavary commanded—ca valry, infantry, artillery, all distinguished them selves. The imperial guard, foot and horse, and two divisions of the first corps, were not engaged. Victory was not doubtful for a single instant. The field of battle is one of the most horrible that can be conceived. It is not exaggeration to carry the number of the dead, on the side of the R'-sSsians, from fifteen to eighteen thou sand. On the side of the French, the loss does not amount to five hundred killed, nor more than three thousand wounded. We have taken eighty pieces of cannon, and a la>’ge quantity of cassoons. Many stand of colours remain in our power. The Russians have had 25 gene rals killed, wounded and taken. Their cavalry has sustained immense losses. The catubiniers and cuirassiers, commanded by gen. Nansouty, and the different divisions of the dragoons have distinguished themselves. Gen. Grouchy, who commanded the cavalry of the left wing, rendered important services. General Drouct, chief of the etat-major of the army commanded by gen. Lannes ; gen. Cohorn ; col. Regr.aud, of the 15th of the line ; col. Lamotte, of the 4th of dragoons, and gen. Brun are wounded. Gen Latour Maubourg is wounded in the hand. The colonel of artillery, Desfourneau x, and the chef d’escadron, Hutin, first aid-de-camp to gen. O ’dinot, ate killed. The aids-de-camp of the emperor, Monton and Lacoste, are slightly wounded. The night did not prevent the pursuit of the enemy, we followed them until eleven o’clock. The remainder part of the night, the co in mns which had been cut off endeavored to pass the Alle at several fords. The next morn ing, in many places, we found cassoons, cannon and waggons lost in the river. The battle of Friedland is worthy of being placed at the side of those of Marengo, of Aus terlitzand of Jena. The enemy was numerous, had a handsome and strong cavalry, and fought With courage. 1 he next day, the 15th, while the enemy en deavored to rally, and make lus retreat on the right bank of the Alle, the French army conti nued its manoeuvres to cut him off’ from Ko nigsberg. The heads of columns arrived together at Wehlau, a town situated at the confluence of the Alle and the Pregel. The emperor had his head-quarters. at the village of Peterswalde. The 16th, at day break, the enemy having cut down all the bridges, profitted of this obstacle to continue bis retrograde movement towards Russia. At eight o’clock in the morning, the empe ror caused a bridge to be thrown over the Pre gel, and the army placed itself in position. Nearly all the magazines which the enemy had on the Alle were thrown by him into the water, or burnt; from what remains, we can estimate the immense losses he has met with. Every where in the villages the Russians had magazines, and every where in passing they burnt them. Notwithstanding, we have found at Wehlau more than six thousand quintals of grain. On receiving the news of the victory at Friedland, Konigsberg was abandoned. Mar shal Soult has entered this place, where We have found immense riches, many hundreds of thousands of quintals of grain; more than 20,000 wounded Russians and Prussians; every thins*that England has sent to the Russians ; amongst other things, 160,000 muskets, still on board. Thus has Providence punished those who, instead of negociating with good faith to arrive at the salutary work of peace, have made a sport of it, taking for weakness the tranquility of the conqueror. The army here occupies the most beautiful country possible. The banks of the Pregel are rich. In a little time, the magazines and cellars of Dantzic and Konigsberg will afford us new means of abundance and health. The names of the brave who have distin guished themselves, the details of what each corps has done, exceed the limits of a single bulletin. The etat-major is employed in col lecting these facts. The prince of Neufchatcl, in the battle of Friedland, has given particular proofs of his zeal and his talents—many times he was found in the midst of the crowd, and there made use ful dispositions. The enemy recommenced hostilities on the sth. He may reckon the loss he has suffered* in ten days at 60,000 men, taken, wounded, killed or-rendered useless, (/tor.? dc combat.) He has lost a great part of his artillery, nearly all his furnishments, and all his magazines, on a line of more than forty leagues. The French armies have rarely obtained such great success with less loss. The eightieth bulletin is dated at Tilsitt, the 19th of June, and mentions some advantages which had been gained by the French advanced corps in pursuing the Russians, and states that, the number of cannon taken from them is thought to exceed 120. The king of Prussia has now in his posses sion only the country between the Nieman and Memel. His troops are deserting him, being unwilling to go into Russia. The emperor of Russia remained three weeks at Tilsitt, with the king of Prussia. On the news of the battle of Friedland, both of them left it in great haste. The eightieth bulletin also states, that at the heights of Tilsitt. the following billets, Nos. I and 11, were delivered to the grand duke of Berg; and afterwards, the Russian general prince Labanoff. passed the Nieman. and con ferred one hour with the prince of Neufchatcl: (No. 1.)

The 6th and Bth of June, old style, PHILADELPHIA, August 17. By the arrival of captain Scott, ft cm Liter pool, London papers to the 3i July have been received at Boston. The already important mass of European intelligence, which occupies our columns ol iliis evening, pievents a detail of the news brought by captain Scott. We shall present a summary, and to-morrow pub lish the particulars from the London papers. A conspiracy against the present king of Naples has*been discovered in that city ; 190 persons were arrested, the trials of the conspi rators were progressing, five had been senten ced to death in 24 hours. Six thousand tror ns ot the late king of Naples had been landed in Calabria, and been coq||Jete!y defeated, with great slaughter, by general Regnier. Various accounts have reached London of an insurrection at Constantinople, Imt they could not be traced to any correct source. The Vienna court gazette of June 6. states an in surrection in the camp of the grand Vizier, in which the director-general of provisions had been massacred in the middle of the camp. | formidable insurrection h,s bioken out in Russia, under Been Sing, a man of courage, conduct and enterprise. On a motion respecting the speech of the 1 king of England, a division took place which ! exhibits the best evidence of the strength of j I the old and new administration. In the house ] !of lords, there were 160 in favc of dm new l ministry, against them 67. In the commons on the same question, the present ministry had 350 to 155. Two to one in favor of the pow ers that be. , Sir F. Burdett was chaired to the house with . great parade, and attended by an immense mul- j i titude, on the 22d June. , Some conversation had taken place in both j houses of Parliament, as to the repeal of the 1 .American Intercourse Bill, which it was deter- ‘ mined to continue in operation, and the new ’ ministry have expressed a determination to) pursue a conciliatory line of conduct towards • neutrals, and to preserve peace with the United States. Sir John Duckworth hoists his flag as second in command, in the channel fleet. In a London paper dated July 2,3 o’clock in the afternoon, it is said that a letter from Konigsberg, dated June 17, had been received, which affirmed that only a part of the Russian army had been engaged, that the battle of the 14th had been very bloody, that the Russians fell back only to be reinforced by a body of 60,000 men they had in reserve, and that no fears were entertained for the safety of Konigs burg. This letter in our judgment, is not en titled to credit. There can be ro doubt the French have gained a most decisive victory. SEMLIN, May 81. On tbe C2d, there was an engagement between tbe corps of Stanoje and the Turks; Mutich- \pa attacked with a small corps of troops the Servian battery thrown up near Grufchelve; but was repuifed with fome loss. On the 23d eve-y movement of the Turks gave room for believing ttiat they nropofed to make a freffi attack against the position of the Servians. On the following night, theepn.mandant Stanoje detached the chief Obrad witfW ur battalions and four comparics toward) Kumitza, in order to observe the movements of the Turks and d’ive away the corps which they had near Sitnitza. On the 25th, at day-break, he advanced himfelf with all his forces, divided into five co'umns. to attack the enemy’s camp, about fix hundred paces from Litanza, He had already approached within a fbort diftnnee of it, when n Turkiffi corps of about 2000 men came out bf Sitnitza, and fell upon him, leemingly with intent to cut off the fifth column. The commandant Stanoje then altered his plan, and formed his corps into iour column;; the firil rapidly attacked the camp of the 1 urks, alluding it with a very brilk fire of artillery and niulketry. I'll e Turks supported this attack with intrepidity, and kept up on their fide a very imare fire; however, two divisions of Servian cavalry having fa'len upon the camp, they were obliged to retreat within their own entrenchments, behind Sitnitza. The fecotul co lumn of iniurgents attacked the hatteiie, placed before Sitnitza, and endeavored to drive the Tuiks from them. ‘I he third and fourth columns seconded this enterprize, bet were repuifed with loss by the murderous fire of 1 the batteries. 1 hen the commandant Stanoje, placing himfelfar the head of the fourth column, made a freih attack with such impetuosity, that the Turks were at length obliged to abandon the batteries, at and retreat. *1 he Servians, after having sealed the intrenchment, entered Sitnitza, and cut to pieces all who nude any refinance. Ihe Turks took refuge in the lortiefs of Ulchitza: they were so lowed by the Serv’ans, who, after forming a jtindion with the two divisions who had already taken poll upon the left of that town, in verted it on a.l tides. Mutich Aga found himfelf thus flmt up with his corps, reduced from 11,000 men to 8,000, in a town totally unable to support a siege, and which hardy contained provisions enough to holdout two days. In this crit cal position, and notwithstand ing the luperic ity of the enemy, he resolved to force his way out in order to go and fetch freih troops for t h e ptirpoie of delivering Ufchitza. In consequence, he delivered to Momend Pacha the command of the to an, in w hich he left a gartilon of 2000 men ; and at fout oYock in t! e afternoon, he made a sally with the 6000 men he had remaining, and who were divided into two columns. The Servians advanced on all sides a gainst him, and surrounded him. I he I urns then lot med a iquare, and defended them fe ves with rare intrep dity ; at length they contrived to force a Servtah column, and open to themselves a paflage. Four Servian columns pursued them : the others marched against the fortrefs. One of the Turk i!h columns marched towards Sitnitza,and left 600 men m the castle of Socci, which was not occupied; the other column retreated through Kumitza, anil re infect'd by fevera! Imaii detachments, which weredis united At a small distance ftont Kumitza, it fell in with the Servian corps, commanded by the chief Obrad ; hut in spite of the efforts if the latter, it again furcced ed in forcing a paflage for itfelf, after having sustain ed fomelofs. Tne Servian troops who had marched against Ufchitza,diredlly attacked that town, and made their way into it, after having sealed the batteries, lart of the garrison were killeJ, and the rest made pri fotiers. ihe infurgemseftimate their loss in the leve ral engagements, at 2000 men. The Servian comman der, Bulla lllitz, was dangerously wounded belore Us : chitza, and conveyed to Belgrade. NAPLES, June 3. ( Six thousand Neapolitans, commanded by general Phitipliadt, landed at Reggio, giving themselves out to be the reftotersand conquerors of the kingdom of Na ples. He majesty ordered gen Regnier to lay no ob ftaffes in their way, and to withdraw at their approach, in order to inspire them with more confidence. Con formably to these orders, our van guard evacuated Sem mara, Roffuno and Mileto. General Philiplladt euter ta.ning no suspicion of the snare laid for him, advan ced with his army, anti threatened Monte-I.bone ; but his majesty not wilhing to abandon so loyal a town to the fury and vengeance of these new conquerors, gave directions i o gen. Regnier, who had been reinforced by a bony oi tt o ,ps from Calabria, to attack and dilcomfit the en.my. ’he engagement took place on the 28th May,near M.when theVvhole corps commanded by gei Philip!; were either killed or taken pi ison ers ; lcarrt-iy were a few cavalry enabled to regu n Reg gio.—'lhe conimaiMt in chief of this expedition, is thought to !•*• among it *l is j.i ifuners.

Ihe last news from Calabria is altogether fatisfactory ; all is calm arid lubonlfive. Gen.

We are concern ed to observe, that the conduct ol’ the British cruizers, both in their own waters and the Me diterranean, does not comport with this intelli gence.—-A. Y.fiafur. E.vtract of a letter received at Petersburg , Vir ginia, dated Richmond , August 18— three o'clock. u Burr’s trial is progressing. The counsel for the prosecution have undertaken to examine the witnesses in regular detail, commencing with general Eaton, and continuing through every ramification to the moment the overt act is said to have been committed on Blannct has sett’s island. Eaton went through his testimo ny, notwithstanding repeated interruptions, with a precision and method, that pleased c very honest roan, but confounded the prisoner. His testimony, from the order in which the witnesses are to be examined, went only to prove the fact of intention —the other testimony will prove the regular progress of the conspira cy, to the moment when the overt act was committed on Blanncrhassel’s island. From what I have heard, there remains no doubt of the intentions of Burr, and the future evidence will, it is generally expected, establish the trea sonable deed. Commodore Truxton followed F.aton, and has proved, exclusive of the treasonable inten tions of Burr, that Mexico was to be invaded, revolutionized, and converted into an indepen dent empire. This is a specimen oftha introductory evi dence—!rom whit h it may be inferred, what will be the complexion of the residue.” Commercial Situation of Bordeaux , July 2.
