that only 80a of the Britiili troops were killed in the
conrfe of it, Lord Mulgrave, faid, it was a queftion
of climate wind and weather and that to thole a.

On the fame day, the army and navy fupplies were
granted in the Houfe of Commons. The whole num

Under the Hamburg date of the ,4th of Feb-, we
find the following articles ; ' The intelligence is ac

vent has caufed confiderable, anxiety throughout Ger

thing may be hp-d from the interference of the latter.
,c. By ilie ci-mmenta on this article in the London pa
pers the fail appears fubitantiated, that the Empcrcr
Paul Waits to be coaxed by Great Britafri, before he
will again cordially take hia. Brother of Aulltia by the

It appears ptobable that the'H'gH Conful cf France,

of d fpatches Irom CouiUntinople, and aftet wards had
dined with Buonaparte. - -
