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. Sixty Fourth Bulletin of the Grand Army. 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 t,um a 1 nncc Repmn. Forty eight 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 them oil, all which appeared upon a 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 la upon sleighs. The surgeons have 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 Golyneen 89 pieces of cannon, at the battle of Bergfried 4 pieces; at the re treat of 1)’ Allensteen 5 pieces ; at the battle ofDeppen 16 pieces; at the bat tle of Holt 12 pieces; at the battle of; Eyluu 24 pieces jatthe battleofßrauns- j berg 16 pieces; at the battle ofOstrol enku 9 pieces—-total 175 pieces of can non. J he remark has been made on this subject that the Emperor has never lost any cannon in the armies,which he has commanded, when in thefirst cam paigns of Italjy and Egypt, or in those 1 oi the army of reserve, whether in those of Austria and Moravia or in those of : Prussia and Poland. < BLANKS 1 Oi every description executed at ( this office, with neatness and dispatch. . 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.
