the Danes lost 40 men, the Mecklenburgers 100, and the rest in proportion. The Danish gun-boats took a very active part in the engagement. From this island Hamburgh may be bombarded. The Russians are not able to prevent the French from crossing the river from thence; the Danes alone can prevent it. These have near the town 8,000 men and 50 guns.Prince Christian of Denmark, the heirapparent to the Crown, is expected to take the command. "This place appears like a besieged town: business is at a stand. To-day or to-morrow the Danish General expects orders from Copenhagen, subsequent to Count Bernstorff's arrival from England; but every one is assured that the King will persevere in his resolution to defend this town. In the mean time, the Crown Prince of Sweden is as yet not arrived in Germany, though he has for these three weeks past been daily expected. The Swedish troops in Pomerania do not exceed 7000 men, and make no signs of advancing. Hostilities between Denmark and Sweden are on the point of breaking out. The Crown Prince is beset by all parties, to desist from his attempt our Norway, and to hasten to Germany at this critical juncture, with his brave troops; but hitherto he appears most determined to persevere.--The advantage of the French in the late battle arose from superiority of numbers and artillery; but every one is persuaded that the good cause would ultimately succeed, if Denmark and Sweden could be made to co-operate towards the same object, supported by Great Britain with money, arms, and other necessaries."

London: Printed and Published by M. Jones, 5, Newgate-Street. OUR last observations brought up the business of the war to the Battle of Lutzen and the flight of the Allies across the Elbe; the triumphal entry of the French Emperor into Dresden, his interview with the King of Saxony, the junction of the Saxon troops, the arrival of the cavalry from Italy, and the progress of the Enemy at the heels of the "Deliverers of the Continent."-The great Battles of Bautzen and Wurtchen, of which a circumstantial description will be found in the present Publication, have again lifted up the hopes of the Enemy, and have tended to clear away the mist which folly and delusion had contrived to raise, to blind the judgement, and mislead our hopes.-The slaughter at Lutzen was followed by a still more dreadful massacre at Bautzen and Hochkerch, a place of celebrity for the havoc of human kind, having been the scene of frequent contention during the wars of the Great Frederick, and which was now destined to witness the defeat and flight of those ensigns which had been so often led to victory and fame.-The contest lasted four days, and ended in the retreat of the Monarchs of Russia and Prussia, by which the whole of Saxony was placed in the hands of the French, who have since advanced even to the extremity of Silesia; which progress has had the effect of bringing forward the agreement to an armistice, preparatory, as we hope,to specific negociations for a general peace. The French had advanced as far as Breslau, the capital of Silesia, of which they had already taken possession, but which, by the stipulations of the Armistice, has been declared to stand in the neutral ground between the lines of demarcation: and thus have the Allies been clearly driven from the Elbe to the Oder, without being able, notwithstanding the boasted advantages stated to have been obtained in their several struggles, both partial and VOL. III. collective, without being able to secure to themselves one inch of ground, but to the evident sacrifice of all their hopes and expectations. To say they may not have fought with equal valour to their enemies, and with a zeal becoming their condition, would be to argue against the plainest conviction of facts, and only to be equalled by the conduct of those, who, in the very teeth of circumstances, will deny their existence, or falsify their appearance and consequences; and such are they who still contend for the superiority of the Allies, their capability to withstand their more powerful adversary, and the wanton and vapouring denial of his strength, his ability, and resources.-We ask, will it now be contended, that the exhilirating accounts of the numerical force of the combined Sovereigns were founded in truth?-Will it now be shewn, that the pursuit from Russia brought an overwhelming force across the Niemen, equal to the recovery of Poland, the succour of Prussia, or the deliverance Germany?-Where are the crowds that followed the discomfitted Emperor of the French, that outstript him at Smolensko, that defeated his columns at Mohilow, that overwhelmed him at the Beresina ?—If we revert to the statements of those days, we view the French armies, reduced to something beneath contempt, stealing into the towns and villages of Prussia and Poland, uncertain of a resting place, and totally unable to make any resistance to their victo rious parsuers. These latter were at the same time represented to be full of confidence and numbers, to have been rushing forward like a devouring torrent, and accumulating force and efficiency in its progress. Nothing, in fact, appeared to obstruct them or their designs; the armies of Poland, of Prussia, nay, the whole population of Germany, it was represented, would be formed into one collected mass, which would infallibly give the death-blow to French, influence, and indice the dependent States, and those whom circumstances had driven into the service of France, and the support of French inte rests, to cast off the yoke and liberate the Powers of Europe.Against this ardent representation, we had nothing to offer but what reason and observation suggested.We argued, that, however great the disasters of the French army in their retreat from Moscow, there was an enemy common to both, which pressed heavily alike upon the flying as their followers; that, had the latter been possessed of advan tages so great and manifold as was studiously set forth for our belief, it was something beyond neglect, it was culpably disgraceful, not to have seized upon the grand mover of all the mischief, and, by one glorious effort, have secured him in their toil.-That opportunity løst, it never theless remained to be expected that the Russian hordes, joined to the auxiliaries of Prussia and Germany, would have combined a host, capable of setting at defiance any attempt of their discomfitted enemy, either to regain his ascendancy in these parts or to retain the smallest hold in their defiance:-these, we say, were the natural conclusions from the repeated representations and assurances; but what has been the fact?—That the broken and discomfitted myriads which passed the Niemen were still enabled to retire slowly, and even to dispute every inch of ground: that, arrived in a more hospitable region, they maintained themselves even in the midst of surrounding enemies, and kept possession of the strongest positions; and in the end have been enabled to see their pursuers driven back, and to have their safety placed be yond dispute.-But, there was another and a more sure criterion than the fact of the retainment by the French of their positions in Poland and Prussia to direct our judgement as to the capabilities of the Allies or the hopes of Europe, and which was the conduct and opinion of Au stria. To her, the entire strength and expectations of the contending Powers were fully known; she knew their force, she alsò knew their vanity and folly, and she weighed them in the balance with the activity, the energy, the resources, of France; and she decided accordingly. -She saw and ridiculed the vaunting threats of these associated Heroes, and traced the end of all their vast endeavours; she also knew against whom they were directed, nor would she share the consequences by any rash attempts.-While we were amused by the relation of thousands and tens of thousands, flocking daily to the standards of these magnanimous Conquerors and Deliverers, she well knew that they had scarcely the means to raise a regiment from the common mass of the people; that the Russian army, so far from being capable of any brilliant undertaking, was little better in number or condition than those they boastingly pursued; that Frederick, while he vaunted of 200,000 soldiers, had not the hopes or the means of raising one sixth part of that force throughout his whole territory; and that, notwithstanding the invigorating Proclamations and enspiriting Addresses of the heroic and patriotic Friends of Liberty, the Cossacks and their Associates, not one in a thousand either could or wished for any change of condition. All this he knew; and also, that, by maintaining his integrity with France, whose fortune, by reason of her known capability, would still, he was well assured, rise superior to her temporary disaster, she promised herself a more permanent spoil than could result from any coalition with interests that would place her at variance with the Power |
