FutDAV, Jan.?.' This morning arrived two Gottenburgh mails. Thev revive the rumours of the French, being de- feited, but it is apprehended.without- foundation, although they come with all. the appearance of truth-, from a variety of channels. A letter from Elsmeur, dated". Dec; W] asserts, that- a Captain of a ship bad arrived in 30 hours from Stettin, who said the French had received a severe check, and that Bonaparte was shot in the cheek. Accounts from Gottenburgh of Dec. 16, say, .t This day ah English and Russian Courier ar- rived from .St.'Peter.sb.urgh, with dispatches .for ,.tn-lanri; they state that almost all the Russian troops had departed for the frontiers, and that General Kaminskyieft St. Petersburgn a few (lavs before they were dispatched, to take the chief coni- tiiand oi tlieni. One of the Sw-edish ships which was taken by ,t"'Ie" French at Lubeck,wnh troops on board, was, after the troops were landed and made prisoners, put under the guard of seven French soldiers: the wiiid becoming fair oilC; mormug, while the.

Great appfehehsiOhs are still entertatiied that the Spa- niards are about to make. an attick upon Portugal, Jn cpflsequehcjj" of Orders from Bonaparte. The Spanish Government is extremely tardy in their proceedings, because it. 'is with the greatest re- luctaricfe that they undertake th s expedition. Let- ters by this mail mention the r:capturc'of Buenos Ayres \yith tuueh appardht;'fc6iifi,-lehce.A letter is stated, to have been received at Lisbon from Ma- drid which states" that the A^jcerov fecteua. iorc« or 8,000 men, drove in all our out- posts, and 'advanced resolutely to attack our main body, which did pot consist of 1,00,0 of ddferent de- sc ri p tie as. The. engagement was hardly con tes ted, but the great supenot-ity; of the enemy compelled us to retreat, when disorder follo wed, and the Spa- nish cavalry breaking in iipon the ranks, Gen. Be- resford fell, and pur troops,thus divided, fled in all directions." The intelligence is said to have he m brought to Lisbon by-a Portuguese vessel arrived in the Tagus trom fernambuco, the Captain of which asserted that previous to his leaving that place, a Spanish schooner had arrived there with the loss of one of her masts, and that this schooner was the bearer of dispatches for the Spanish Gor vernment, announcing the re-capture of Buenos Ayres by the Spanish troops,collected in the interior of that province. Such is the intelligence con- tained in Lisbon letters there are, however, other letters from houses at Lisbon, interested in such intelligence, which do not take aiiy notice even of thereport. By letters from Oporto, of the 12th ult. it ap- pears, that there are one sail of the line, two fri- gates, and a schooner, Verilizing off'the bar, which have destroyed nine or ten row-boat privateers. A frigate, with the Newfoundland convoy, arrived o'f Oporto on the 12th of December, and the frigate was to see them safe over the bar.

Tt;ksday,.Jan. 5. Sir Harfo'd Jones has br&ugh t the latest accounts to t»<>virumont from the head-cpiarters of the Rus- s>ian araucs.—He had a fail opportunity of seeing them-with his own eyes, and upon hisaÜtbority it is stated, that he never saw an arniy hi a, lusher state of discipline, better-appuinted in every re- spect, or more eager to meet the enemy a L'annc I blanclle,-The two columns of Russians under Ge- nerals Benningsen and BuxhovdHn, amounting in all to 150,000 men; he says, must have joined on the 8th or 9th of Dec. The French were very much reduced by sickness. Above one-fourth ot their whole army vvere down in flux and other dis- eases. The season was open, and the country in; which they have to act, is a series of forest, mo- rass, and rivers. ■ ■■ -• u'; On the TSthof December Lord Hutchinson and ti c t.1 s suite, in.the Sparrow gun-brig, passed the island of Atholm, -or.Christian-see, ana expected to land at PiHauon the 18th. The treasure of the King of Prussia was on board vessels at PiUau, ready to put to sea at .a moment's notice, The Queen of Prussia arrived at Koningsbergj, on tin*. 9th Dec. and the King was to be there on thte'lOth". The Austnans ha-d formed a strong cordon alL along the banks of the Pelisza. Their army is in fine order, and their magazines plentifully sup- plied. The people of Austrian Poland remained, perfectly quiet; and the levies at Petriehau, Plock, Kalis?, Gnesen, and Posen, in Prussian Poland, had by no means answered the hopes of the French.: Some foreign papers have been received contain- ing two more French bulletins, the 37th and the 4,40th.—The former contains, no 'intelligence'.of im- portance.—The 40th bulletin announces the p.ts- sage^of. the Vistula b) i\Lirshal Neyr -and th^,cap- ture of Thorn on the Cti, uit.-A slight action took n r tu> "Bonaparte re- mains at Postn.—tne Russians the huiietn^ nothing.. An article irom the Hague estimates the number of Poles that have taken up arms at 70,000. Had that been the tact/it would have been stated in the ,bulleting. -Tiie :itistrians are said -to have withdrawn from Bohenua. and Moravia, and to form only a slight cordon on the frontiers ol Gal- lacia. v His Majesty's sloop Alert, Capt. Williams, ar-. rived at Yarmouth on Sunday, from Elsineur, after a passage of 14 day s. When she left Elsineur., it was generally known to be true, that the Russians were retiring in Poland, in order to strengthen themselves, aud to entice the French army into "a, situation of difficulty. The Prussian army at Dantzic, and its vicinity, amounted to upwards of 70,000men. The Russians, in Poland, were riot less than 100,000 strong. The Russian troops were five: days in crossHlg'the bridge at Kiga, though they marched botfi day and night. The horses of the Frencji army were dying rapidly, as forage could not be found for them. Several letters, dated the 10th of December have been received fron) St. Petersburgh, which men- tion, thj,t a strong-Russian force, under the com-' mand of Gen. Von Essen, had taken possession of Choczim. It is, stated, that the Russian General on his arrival before the place, summoned it to surrender, which was refused the Russians then began to bombard it, and threatened to take it by Storhri, and put every mah to death found in the garrison. This had the desired effect. A notice to the following effect was yesterday posted at Lloyd's :—"That"the reports received from Lisbon, relative to the recapture; of Buenos Ayres, are such, as may make it prudent for Eng- lish ships bound to the river Plata; to obtain pre- vious inforniatiol1 eitner at Rio Janeira, or any other part of the coast before they enter that river." The island of Sicily seems to have b.Cen a princi- pal catise of the rupture of i he- negociatiou • with France. It may not be wholly unworthy)of remark, that this very istand was the occasion of the dread- ■iui- vrara tsaTrfed -vTrtH" »lt «iuch bitterneM be- tween the rival nations of Rome and Carthage.

Sir, ii entered into a long'dis- cussion of the "tri^aty, Mr. Whitbread said, he felt the deepest regret at from "his Majesty's Ministers. He had ever to militate against the spirit of peace. Of that nature he con- sidered the present.address,; and if he did not most strongly feel it to be such, he could hardly persuade himself to resist. thoSe for whom he en- (teriaincd the a}ont oinccre cstpem—to wliom he would be ever anxious to grapt his support. In the perusal of the papers fie felt himself disap- pointed. The commencement and close of 'theiUe- gociation presented a sfrHung Coiitrast. In the former, all the 'noble frankness and'' simplicity of the late ever to.be lamented Mr. FoXwas apparent; the, anxiety of -tlilt great man was to^get rid o: forms which inipeded.peace nothing remained to obstruct negotiation,, but the coutj-over^v respect- ing a joint treaty with Russia. At that time not a word was mentioned about the term nti possidetis C W r—that unfortunate phrase v/hich; appears to haye defeated the object ol the iiegociatiqn. It was III- said,, that the proposition was > started by Lord Yarmouth, in consequence of some expres sions from M. Talleyrand. To the words ot that () IV noble Lord he wasofcourst,' wiiiing to give the ut- r most credence but he 'must obserye, that there was nothing in the papers on the table to shew that this proposition was ever pressed at that time by the Ministers of this country. That Mr. Fox and the whole of his Majesty's Ministers were sin- cere, in their wishes for peace, he* mo-t tub, ue lieved, and he also believed that the Minister and Government of Francc wereequaHy->ni jo/e in their desire for the same object. Had not unimportant, forms been so pertinaciously insisted upun, the ne- gociatiou mtght have been proceeded .in with all possible-promptitude, and that peace, which, in his "Ile judgment, was quite attainable, might have been concluded"in time to prevent, nuTmpreiy the fate, but the commencemeiYt of the Prussian war, Gur Ministers, as well as France, had departed from the basis oCuli IJóssidetis. He did ntltdike to hear so much Special pleading as to the conduct of the enemy, and. so much laxity as to oufselves. See-' ing, tiren, on the whole of the case, that no such blame w.as attributable to the French Government as the address asserted, he could not persuade himself to accede: to what would only inflame" the c w animosity subsisting between the two Govern- ments,, and tend to preclude all prospect of paci- fication., lie said Lord Yarmouth had actcilpro- I perty in producing his fullppwers at the period he dicl^ FortKo various aCfornpfishm/Jiits af thp ryi. i/ieinan dispatchea-ulttmately on that tinsSion, m professed "to entertain the most Unqualified de- ference..So far from having been capable of sub- mitting to degradation, his complaint was, that he was- rather too peremptory in points of form, which he vitas afterwards "obliged to abandon. Had 1,, -We availed; ourselves of some of the opportunities offered, we should, most probably, have procured such a treaty as might ag;iin be utterly impmcti- cable. The Hon. Gentleman then took an histori- cal view of the grounds of our war against France. The reasons given for wishing to-bold Sicily and Dalmatia, he did not consider of sufficic.it im- portance to warrant the delay they had occasioned in the negotiation. He /concl<itded by moving an amendment, which stated in substance the reso- lution of the House to-assist his Majesty in calling forth all the resources of the country, if necessary, to enable his Majesty to prosecute the war With vigour at the samettme exhjrung his r.F-jesty. to declare his. readmess to afford every practicabie fa- cility to the restoration ot peace, on terms eon- sislent wtth'gd^d faith to his allies, and with the "honour aiid interests of his people. Mr. G. Johnstone seconded the motion, which ision was rejected v^ithout a diyision. Mr, Canning expressed liissurni-ise,th, a. speech of such distinguished ability as that House, han just heard, 'should have been parsed unnoticed by, any .of his Majesty's Miiiisters.—He .differed fipm that Hon, ,0ent. (Mr, Whit'orea<d);,howeyer, in his senltment upon the fact df -the. tferminaiion of the negociation.
