(Private Letter.J Let trs have been received here from Koningsberg, Warsaw and Riga; all of which concur in the statement of the Russians having gained a decisive victory over the French, since their late defeats in Poland. It was con fidently reported 011 ’Change here yesterday, that Napoleon, in consequence of this severe check, had proposed an Armistice to Russia and Prussia; one ot the Riga fetters pat ticulat tv men tions that many wounded French Officers had arrived in that city, as prisoners. The Editor of a periodical publication, printed in French, at Ahona, also received a letter, containing the furl details of the defeat ol the French, and hav ii g shewn .he sani; to the French minister here, he insisted upon its be;rg suj pressed as a false hood.

All the letters, which have reached this city from War saw, Posen, Koningsberg, Sic. are without date or signature, as w hoever circulates false political ‘news, is punished with death, as well as those who sneak or write against the tyranny of the Fienr h. On the 4th inst. the students of Jena having, on the authority of letters from Prussia and Po land, intimated in public places, that :he French had been beaten, the French Commandant imme diately, put up the following pro clamation. “ Inhabitants of Jena ! False repents are in circulation, it is every where rumoured, with confidence, that the French ar my had been defeated on the banks < f ihe Vistula; trust not these rumors, ihe authors of them are your enemies; I de clare, that I shali order every person convicted of circulating ihcm to be arrested and deliver ed over to a Mili ary Commis sion, do you no* know that Napo leon is there wt,h his Invinci ble;?” (Signed) “ POCHOLLE.” Batiks of the MAIN, Jan. 3. The Prussian garrison of Col berg harras.ses continually that country as far as Stettin. On the 12thDecember,a corps efthat garrison fell in w;th a detach ment which had left Stettin,and made pi isoners a lieutenant and 25 men. An Austrian gazette, in an article dated Lemberg, Dec. 2. states, that the French minister had arrived there that day from Jassy. On the 2 6th November the Russians, to the number of 75,000 men, entered Moldavia. Sixtctn thousand men commam* tied by gen.

AL ION A, Jan. 9. 1 hey write from Vienna, un der date December 20, that M.

Kuffia ft ill ptolclfes to refpeft the Inde pendence of the Porte, and to guarantee it, agreeably to trea ty. What can all tkcle things mean ? CONSTANTINOPLE, Dect mber 18. A council of the Ministers was held y esterday, and war was de clared against Russia. Ihe U -1c mas have pronounced it to be just; the standard of the Pro phet has been hoisted; all the country is in motion; tin Pachas ot Romelia have received orders <o advance with their troops to wards the Danube; another at my advances from Asia, Jt wilt loltovv the same direction; the Grand Visier will take the com maud, and inarch with the boR s andard. M. Italinsky wa-. to be sent to the Seven 1 owets; the French Ambassador, far iruin imitating the conduct of that mi nister, was th first to advise the Porte to send him back honora bly. Ten sail of the line are e quipping; the press ’'as taken place, and has produced several sailors The two English ships are” still before Constantinople; the British minister does not ap pear to have had any instructi ons on so unexpected a circum stance- it is the insulting pro clamation of gen. Michelson, which has excited throughout the Empire this general movement; the Turks say that they would rather die fighting scyntitar in hand, under the banners of the prophet, than submit to such out rages. The Patriarch, a venerable man, whc> possesses the greatest influence, and the princes Calii mnehi and Suzzo, have made known to the Greeks, by a pro clamation, the incalculable mis fortunes which will befall them it they do net shut their ears to the perfidious insinuations of Russian agents, alternate vic tims of the Russian arms, ol the arms of the Tuiks, and perhaps of any other power, the country would be laid waste for a centu ry; but the brave have not teas ed to exist in Europe, and they’ will not suffer the vast empire, which extends its confines to China, to reign also upon the Bosphorus. The Turks may peihaps be beaten, but they will eventually be conqueror*; they will have lor them our powerful ally; it is this on which we re pose our confidence. He will not permit that their enemies should provoke them any longer —that the people whom he has already several times vanquished should destroy the most ancient and most necessary of his friends Already’ his camp is upon the Vistula; already the Russians, which at e in sight of our troops, sufficiently manifest the terror which pervades them. Ourene tnies will be confounded, and our empire will come out of this struggle, and re-estailish itself upon its natural alliances. LONDON, February 2. By letters from Holland we learn, that, on the 11th January the man magnificent part of Ley den was the scene of a terrific explosion. A vessel, laden with 40,0U01b. weight of gunpowder, from Amsterdam, destined for Delft, and then lying in the Ra penburgh canal there, bv some means took fire and, instantane ously blew up, destroying all the houses in the vicinity of the canal and occasioning the premature death of some hundreds of the inhabitants—Scarcely a single house or building has escaped without damage ; on the Raptn butgh, where the deplorable c vtnt Occurred the houses to a large extent are levelled with the gtound. At the awiul moment; many families were sitting at din ner with their friends, and thus precipitated into eternity : fathers mothers children, servants, all were rapidly hurried into one pro miscuous grave. Among the tßad are several of the most re spectable families in th* city, and many strangers then on visits. Property to a large amount has been lost, and many of the ne cessaries of life spoilt by the showers of broken glass which filled the shops and apartments. Provisions, money, artificer*, r very thing has since been sent from the Hague and other cities, to comfort an die lie vethew retch ed sufferers.
