NFW-YORK, April 24.
By the ship Eliza, capt. Smith, in 29
days from Bordeaux, we have received
papers from France, containing ac
counts from the armies several days
later than those via England, per the
George and Gold Hunter—but we find
no news in them—no exultation on ac
count of French victories over the Rus
sians. This circumstance is a proof
that the French army has at least been
“ worsted.”
The 64th Bulletin is dated Osterode,
2d March. It states that the wounded
on the part of the French amounting to
5000 have been transported from the
field of battle to Thorn, and to their
Hospitals on the left ank of the Vistu
la. That more than 9COO slain on both
sides and near 5000 horses, besides an
immense quantity of military equipage,
were left on the field within the com
pass of a square league.

Ostkrode, March 2, ISO7.
The City of Elbing furnish'd great
j resources to the army. There was
found in it a great quantity of wine and
! brandy. The country of the lower Vis
; tula is very fertile.
j The Ambassadors of Constantinople
and of Persia, have entered Poland, and
i approach Warsaw.
! After the battle of Eylau the Empe
| ror passed every day several hours on
the field of battle. A horrid spectacle,
but duty rendered it necessary. It re
quired much labor to bury all the dead.
' A great number of bodies of Russian
j tions. It appears ’ their decora

J hours after the battle, mo-e than 500
i ' vounJc( l Russians remained on the
ground that they had not W- en able to
carry off. Brandy and bread was nought
j them, and they were successively trahs
ported to their hospitals.
Let one figure to himself upon the
surface ol a square league 9 ar 10,000
dead bodies, 4 or 5000 horses slain,
lines of Russain knapsacks, pieces of
muskets and swords, the earth covered
with bullets—Obus’s munitions, 24 pie
ces of cannon near which were the bod
ies of the conductors killed at the mo
ment they were making efforts to drag

ground of snow—-A spectacle calcula
ted to inspire Princes with the love of
peace and the horrors of war.
1 he 5000 that we had wounded have
Leen all filed off or sent to Thorn and
our Hospitals on the left bank of Vistu

remarked with surprise that the fatigue
of this conveyance has not injured the
wounded.
Here are some details of the battle of
Braunsberg. General Dupont march
ed against the enemy in two columns.
Gen. Brayare, who commanded the
right column, met the enemy at Rag
ern, and forced him into the river, which
runs in the front of this village. The
left column pushed the enemy upon
Villenbergh, and the whole of the divi
sion did not delay sa lying out of the
wood. The enemy driven from his
first position, was obliged to fall back
upon the river which covers the city of
Braunsberg ; at first he stood firm, but
Gen. Dupont marched up to him—
overset him by a brisk charge, and en
tered with him into the city, which was
strewed with the Russian dead.
1 he 9th of light infantry, the 32d and
the 9th of the line which composed this
division, have signalized themselves.
Generals Barrois Lahoressaye, Semele
of the 24th ofthe line—Col. Meunier of
the 9th of light infantry—The Chief of
Batallion Bougeof the 32c], of the line,
and the chief of a squadron Hubluet,
have merited particular eulogiums.
Since the arrival ofthe French army
on the Vistula, we have taken from
the Russians in the affairs of Poltusk

PHILADELPHIA, April 20.
Extract from the private journal of cap
tain Wm. Vic ary, from Batavia.
Saturday, October 18, 1806—This
afternoon the English frigate Caroline,
of SS guns, commanded by Capt. R;>
nier, came into the roads after having
captured two small Dutch vessels to
the westward; and, although alarm
guns had been fired at Ourust, and it
was known to be an enemy approach
ing, yet the officers on board the Bata
via frigate Maria Reygersburg, of 44-
guns, kept her at anchor, with the top
sails on the caps, and fired their bow
guns and such as they could bring to
bear at the Caroline, when at a great
distance.
At this time most of the other Dutch
ships slipped their cables and run a
shore. The Caroline shortly after pass
ed amongst the neutral vessels which
generally anchor farthest out, and in
crossing the bows of the Maria Rey
gersburg, gave her a broad-side which
raked her fore and aft. The Dutch
upon this, cut their cables, but by this
time the Caroline had passed between
them and the land, and hove all their
topsails aback on the Dutch ship’s lar
board quarter. In this position they
continued to engage for some time.
The Dutch vessel was under a great
disadvantage, not being in a condition
to work the ship, nor having more than
about seventy white men on board, and
it was not now in their power to run
ashore as the Caroline kept between
them and the land. They however
continued the action 15 or 20 minutes,
when thev struck the colors, anci wcic
instantly boarded and taken possession
of by the Caroline’s people, who quick
! ly made sail, and carried the prize and
j their own ship out of the reach of the
| fire from the batteries and some sloops
| of war, which had annoyed them during
; the whole action.
| Captain Ranier did not fire a gun
; *»ntil within half pistol shot ofthe Ma
ria V\«. yt r ers burg, nor did he pay the
smalltst attentiun to the fire from the
• shore or the other Dutch ships. Situ
ated as lie was, with his single ship, all
he could hope for was to capture or
dcstioy one vessel, and he succeeded
very well; but had the Dutch laid their
, vessels bioadside on the bank, they
would have defeated all the attempts
he could have made; for he could not
■ have carried his own ship near enough
to do execution, and the Dutch fire
would have sunk all the boats he could
have sent to burn their vessels. None
of the American ships received any in
jury, though the shot flew very thick
among them.
Thursday, November 27th. Being
ready for sea, captain Smith, of the
Bellair, and Mr. Ridgely, of the Re
becca, came on board with their boats’
crews very early, and assisted to get
the anchor up and run the ship further
out, to a clear birth for sailing. This
was effected by day light, but an acci
dent which occurred to myself at this
time, determined me to defer sailing
until the following morning.
About 9 o’clock three alarm guns
were fired at Ourust, and shortly after,
several large English ships made their
j appearance; some of which, after a
short cannonade, silenced the Fort at
Ourust, and took possession of it and a
corvette lying there, which they imme
diately manned and brought in with the
fleet. All the Dutch ships and one
Prussian, then slipped their cables and
ran ashor* near tire Eastern Batteries,
under all the sails they could set. At
this time the Powerful, of 74 guns,
was dispatched to the eastward, in chase
of a large Swedish ship which had sail
ed early in the morning. At half past
10. a. m. the Sea-Flower brig passed
in shore of us, and went in chase of
some Dutch ships on the east side of
the Bay, which had just sailed for Sa
marang. Directly after the Terpsi
core, followed by the Culloden, Drake,
Russel, Belliqueux, the Corvette Wil
liams, and a brig which had been cap
tured the day before, bound from Ban
tam to Batavia, with powder, &.c. came
into the roads in the order mentioned,
and took their station as follows :—The
Culloden, Admiral Sir Edward Pellew,
anchored about 200 yards within where
we lay. The Terpsicore, S. S. E. from
her, well in shore towards the Batte
ries and the stranded Dutch ships—-The
Drake to the eastward of the Terpsi
core, and a little on her starboard quar
ter. The Belliqueux after shifting
from her first position by signal, an
chored S. S. E. from the admiral, and
as near the shore as her draught of
water would permit, to assist in taking
off the fire of the batteries and Dutch
ships from the Drake and Terpsicore.
The Russel anchored three quarters of
a mde to the northward, and the two
prizes about the samedistar.ee to the
eastward of the Culloden.
A heavy cannonade then commenc
ed, and was kept up until about two
o’clock in the afternoon, when the boats
of the squadron were manned and sent
in, under cover of the f.re of the ships,
to burn the enemy’s vessels. This
they executed amidst a shower of shot
which fell about them in every direc
tion and frequently threw the water all
over them ; and, although it appears
surprising, yet the only boat which re
ceived any injury, was the Cullcdcu’s
launch*
She received a shot through her
bows, which killed one man, and wound
ed two others. I believe mortally.—
She was near sinking when towed along
side. Capt. Pellew of the Drake, was
the first man who boarded the Phoenix
frigate.
Tiie following vessels were burnt
near the batteries—viz.
Frigate Phoenix, 32 guns; BrigAd
venturier (Adventurer) 20 do. Brig
Zeapleeg (Sea Flower) 14 do. states
vessels.
Frigate Arnestyn, force unknown;
ship Patriot, 18 guns; brig Ceres, force
unknown, company ships.
Brig Snelheyd (Swift) force un
known.
Ship Deugdzoomhavd (Probity) force
unknown ; East-Indiun, do.; Zuider
Pole (South Pole) Prussian, ditto; pri
vate siiipst
, And four or five others at least,
i whose names are not known.
On the east side of the bay were
, burnt the Andromeda and Debora, the
two iSntat ships in Java, both which be
i longed to the governor of Sannirang,
. and another large ship the name un
| known.
During the engagement, some of the
i American vessels were obliged to ship
their cables and run out to keep clear
ot shot which flew thick about them,
i While the action continued, Sir Ed
ward Pellow hailed, and requested me
; either to come on board myself, or to
send my chief mate. I chose the for
. mer, and was treated by him and the
l different officers, with the greatest civil
’ ity, lie asked me a number of questions,
I but neither offered to examine the ships
papers or any letters. After remain*
r ing an hour, I returned on board .
s Towards evening the firing ceased,
t and the Culloden, Belliqueuic, Terpsi
i core and Drake, shifted their births far
: therout. During the night the sky was
I awfully illuminated, by the blaze of
: eighteen large ships; and the blowing
. up ot several of them, when the fire
: reached their magazines, added to the
grandeur of the scene. No one, how
s ever, could behold the destruction of so
: many fine ships, without lamenting the
. evils inseperable from war, and partic
ularly regretting that so large a portion
of the misfortune should fall to the lot
' of private persons, most of whom were
I probably opposed to the principles and
. actions which first occasioned hostili
i ties.
; Next morning the Drake and Terpsi
coie went in chase of a large ship under
• Moorish colours, which was seen com
, ing in through the inner channel, and
‘ on l^e £ ame evening they burned at
Ourust, the Zea-Bower, (Sea Beater)
formerly the Lucy-Maria, of Calcutta,
and the Beschermer, (Protector) each .
of them company’s ships. I learned
horn Mr. Ridgely, the Rebecca’s first
officer, who came cn board to assist us,
that some of the American boata had
been fired on yesterday in going ashore,
for the omission of hoisting a flag, and
although the Dutch at last suffered them
to land, yet they would permit none of
the commanders to go on board their
snips.
At 6 a. m. I made sail and stood out
through the islands with the wind
w. s. W. and after beating all the latter
part of the day against fresh breezes
and a strong easterly current, was in the
evening obliged to anchor to the east
ward of the great Caboun, with the best
bower and 100 fathoms of cable out,
which scarcely held the ship.
On the 30th, at day light got under
sail and resumed the task of endeavour
ing to work out to the westward, but af
ter seven hours fruitless exertions, find
ing we had gained nothing, at one r. m.
I determined to bear away for the
streights of Bally. At three r. m. pas .
sed Batavia roads, where the English
ships still remained at anchor, but they
appeared to lay farther out. The num
ber of other vessels lying without the
common anchorge also seemed to be in
creased, though from our great distance
and the haziness of the weather in shore,
I could not distinguish in what manner.
