Warsaw January 29. ' The details, of the baulc of Moh- rinen are as fullo.w :he ai?ha Prince of Ponte Corvo amved at Jvlohringen, with thcjdiyision of Dou ct, on the 25th at IT o'clock tn the jnorning, at the very moment vr hen the Gen. of Brig. Pactod was attack ed by the enemy. ! Prince of Pome Corvo, ordered an immediate u- , ;ii1o-p of Psarresfelde- ben, M a battalion of t he 26th of hgh infantry. The village was defended by three Russian battalions, which as supported by tfiree others The Prince of Ponte Corvo caused aho two battalions to support that of the 9tlnv The action was very sharp The Eigle of the! 9th rtgirnent ot light Infantry was vaken by the ene my ; but on the aspect of the affront wiih which this brave regiment wrs on the point bfbcinfc covered forever, and from which neither victory, nor the "glory acquired in an hundred combats would havb purified it ; the Boldiers, animated with an ir conceiva ble ardor, precipitated themselves on the enemy, whom they routed and recovered their Eagle. In the me. n while, the French line, composed of the 8th, of. the line, of the 27ih of light infantry, and ol the 94 h, were formed and attacked tbeiRusbian line. which had taken a position on a ri sing ground. The fire of the mus ketry was very brisk, ar.d at point blank distance. -At this moment, Gen. Dupont appeared on the road, with the 32d and 96ih regiments. He turned the right wing of the ene mv. A battalion ot the 32cl rusftetl upon the enemy with its usual im petuosity, put therii to flight artd kill ed many of them- The only pri soners they made were those who were in the houses. The Russians were pursued for two leagues, and were it not for the coming of night, the pursuit would have been conti nued. Counts Pahlen and Gallhztn commanded the Russians. They left 1200 men en the field of battle, lost S00 prisoners, and howitzers. Lap lanche, Gen. of Brig, distinguished himself. The 19th dragoons made a fine charge tigainst the Russian in fantry. It is not only the good cm duct of the soldiers and the talents of the generals, which are most wor thy of rema k? hut the expedition Vith which the troops broke upfrom their cantoitments, and performed a "maich which world b reckoned ex traordinary for any other tn ops, wiih out: a man beingmtssing in the fiid of battle.

MerieMxeder, cJan 27. , " On the 24th and 25th of Jan. two actions took, place at Mohriri gen, in which the divisions of Ney and Bernadotte were almost entirely destroyed or dispersed, and the re mainder of the latter officer's corps is cut off. Murat is wounded and taken fcBernadotte severely wound ed, Rap killed, and" Gen. Fourbier made prisoner. : ! " The 'contributions of Elhing, a mounting to 60,000 crowns, are re taken at Mohringenj with the entire equipage of Bernadotte. ! " The first are at Morienwerder ; the Russians are at Culm ; ' he block-j ?.deof Graudenzis raised ; the bridge of Thorn has been carried away bv j the ice, which renders the passage of theTrench across the Vistula ve-y M Lannes has lost both his legs : six thousand French are killed, and ibur thousand wounded. (The victory was obtained by the arrival of the , two corps of Benningsen and IEs- toco. A general engagement is ex pected. General Victor, who has been made prisoner, is arrived at Bantzic." LONDON, FEBRUARY 14. The Inveterate gun brig has an- corecl at Deal from the coast of France, with dispatcher from the Ad miral on that station. The French are collecting their s mail - irniau 'craft on the whole line of thejr coasts aoMvailing themselves of stealing along their shallows to their northern depot. The substance of the dispatches by the Inveterate gtin-brig, is believed telbe aii ur gent request to government for the employment of a still smaller craft, and an addition to: the force of the ufl brigs on that station.

FEBHUAIIY 17. We are concerned to state, that the French have at last entered Swedish Pomerania.. The tempo- arv retrqat of Mortier has been only a feint, and bv this time a se- rious attack has been made upon Stralsund, a fortress with the main enance of whkh the honor and in dependence of eden is deeply in voked. : The foltowWWivate letter, bro't by the Husum mail, of yesterday confirms this disagreeable intelli gence.

Sir John Newport lately wrote a letter to the Council of the Cham ber of Commerce, of the citv of Dublin, relative to. the participa tion ot Ireland in the East-India trade. The object of the trading interest of Ireland, instead of the present arrangement, is to procure a right to send a ship from that country to China which rhav re turn direct to Ireland, instead of the present unprofitable license, to send outa certain quantity of goods in English vessels. The auswer received by Sir John Newport has been reported to the Commercial Body of Dublin, at a meeting call ed for that purpose-. It states, ' I ht a trade from Ireland is hot practicable to any beneficial pur pose4uncrthe act passed by the Irish Patlfament in 1793, as bv that act, 'the trade from Ireland to Undia i'restrictedtdthe Peninsula j of Indii, and does hot comprehend China, vhichisceherallv conceived to be inmost lucrative obiect of Easteridventure : & the exports from Inland to the 'East-Indies are restricted to goods, the growth pro duce, nd mariufacture of his Ma jesty 'sfcuropean dominions; conse- quentl v the Irish merchant is ex cli dec from shipping specie so ne cessary for Ir)daU adventures and alp from shipping wines, and other jfinciple articles that are left openly the company to be. subjects of ErfUsh private 'trade,?'

It is said that the Russian rhin istry have presented to thVEngi usn government, the dratt ot a commercial treaty, which puts the British trade to the Baltic on a le vel with that of the native Russian merchant, trom port to port. I he greater part of the alien diitjes, as far as respects Oreat-ntain, are to be taken off : and ItU even ex pected that Russia will employ her mediation with the court ;ot Den mark, to procure in favor of Enir- j land, a considerable diminution of the duties pain at the Sound. The latter would be an inestiti;:bie ad ynntage to the British rmrchant. Gen. Whittock is to siil imme diately for South-America with an expedition. On the arrival pf the Gfctt hburg mail yesterday, we immediately gave the only interesting at tide of ly, that Mortier was abojtt to com mence the siege of Straliund, with 17,000 men. The Swedes wili now have an apporturtitv of evin cirig their htreditar courage, in a vigorous deft nee of that garrison, die capture ot which would afford Bonaparteamaignant gratification, as the King ot Sweden has on ah occasions set his menaces at de fiance, and woul never acknow ledge him under1 any other title L t 1 t man as a puunc roooer. Thf hosition of tV kAtln. ... mies. authorise uhdouliedlv the expectation, that a general engage- ment nas tatcen place, i-his may not have been the case. A train of unforeseen circumstances will rtnder nonaparte as cautious of risking all on the event cf one bat tle as the Russians. If any thing presses him to it, it will ht the want - r : i.r ij ' 1 .

Two French Generals Dupoorand .Lescure, and all oernadotte s bag gage, fell into the hands of the vic tors. It is stated that at the time his Lordship was writing the dis patch,' intelligence was received that the French General Thuringe naa deserted to tne itussiansi and declared that if his desertion was maucKnown aiuie auvanceo posts he was convinced that several other Freneh officers , would follow his example. FEBRUARY 25. Some private letters have been received in tdwri, by some mercan nercan. tile houses of Dutch connection. The state of Holland is here repre sented as very different from what has been reborted. The whole form ot auministraUdn, as, well as of government has beep new mo delled. Frenchmen are put at the head of the police, and the system itself has. been modelled after that of France. The. central police, as it i called, is established at Am sterdam The name and clescrip tibn of e Very traveller, in even town, is taken at these several of fices, and transmitted to the. ge neral office. The . wafehrnises of these merchants are likewise put uider the inspection of these offi cers, who have it in general order to prevent tHe introduction and I . - - consumption of Entrlish coods.- The place of which any colonial produce has beven received, must be verlhed by the oath of the mer chant importer.

His derangement we understand, broke out in the field of b-.ittle suddenly, and, in its conse quences, proved very disastrous to the Russians. It is reported, that on one of the days previous to the battle of Pultusk, he entered the field stripped to his shirt, over which he had hune his ribbonds, stars, Sec l Ins ecr.entnc appearance beihir con sulered as an auk w ml, thouch par donable imitation of Suvarrow, did not excite any extraordinary degree oi surpsizeat the time. It was how eve? soon d scoverd, that it uja ra ther the result of derangement than ot policy. He committed -Variety of excesses, and issued orders, whol ly inconsistent with each other, 'f he consequence wathat the arm"was thrown u.to great confusion. It was this unhappy malady, it is said, which oefcasi ,ned the seeming remisness of buxhcevden in not coming to the as- sistance ot Bennmsen, and through which, to all appearance, the French were saved from a total defeat on the 26th of December. Had a junction between these two corps taken plate on the morning of that day, as Be n ningsen had reason to expect, thev would have greatly out-numbered the ... French, r.nd most probably from the ctiirkc mcudo lv the smaller Riii. Svian iorce, have obtained a ffreat and decisive victorv. To the accounts in Danish hews papers is subjoined art assertion, that the Russians, in the ardor of success, had determined on a treneral battle, die event of which might be expect ed every day. 1 his is the circum stance in the present posture of af fairs, which is not calculated to af ford unmixed &tisfattion. We should be extremely sorry to see the Rus sians abandon that system of warfare, which alone has been able to stop the progreasof the French conquests, & to shew to Europe that they are not invincible. Many of the most skil ful military men of the day, are of opinion that Bonaparte, like Hanni ... i bal, is oiny to be beaten by a plan of! protracted wariare, and of partial ac tions. 1 he fate of EuroDe oualit not I J to be risked on a single stake, more especially as Napoleon has always been partial to general-and pitched battles, and as it would be too much to allow him to chu.se-his own mode of warfare.
