The gallant Sir Home Popham, who, to the valour characteristic of his profeffion, unites uncommon general talents, was impoliticly brought to trial at the beginning of the month, for having effected the important capture of Buenos Ayres, a place within the limits of his naval command; and in attacking which, with out pofitive orders, he confidered himself as exerciting the difcretion which it has been customary to allow to commanders on diftant ftations. He was found guilty of the charges brought against him, but difiniffed, greatly to the fatisfaction of the public, with no other punishment than a reprmand.

POLAND.

A gleam of funfhine has broke through the clouds which darken the political horizon at home, and has announced the retreat and difcomfiture of the French annies. The bloody battle of Eylau, defcribed in the following official accounts, was a victory to the allies, inafmuch as it was none to the hitherto victorious French.

It destroyed the beft of the French Generals, and the flower of its anny, taught the Ruffians not to fear its affault, and fet bounds to its progrefs. Famine and the climate have effected as

An administration, excellent and virtuous in other refpects, became in this affair the Lool uf a defpicable cabal, and diminished its popularity by attempting to degrade a meritorious commander. Sir Home is, it is faid, to be one of the new Lords of the Admiralty, and we hope he will, through life, be as fuc ceful in defeating the public enemics of his country abroad, as he has been in the prefent infance, in triumphing over his perfonal enemies at home.

Fifty-eighth Bulletin.

"Pruffian Eylau, Feb. 9. "A quarter of a league from the little town of Eylau there is a flat eminence, which defends the entrance of that place. Marthal Soult gave orders to the 46th and

the 18th regiments of the line to make which defen led this eminence were thrown The regiments into contufion; but at the fame moment a column of Ruffian cavalry made a charge upon the left of the 18th, and threw fome of its battalions into diforder. The dragoons of the regiment of Klein, obferving this in time, all the troops came to action in Eylau. The enemy had placed several regiments in a church and church yard, where they made an obftinate defence; but, after a very murderous affair on both fides, the poLe fition was taken about ten at night. the village, and that of St. Hilaire to the Grand's divifion paffed the night in front of right of it. Marshal Augereau's corps took poft to the left. Marthal Davouft's corps had begun its march early on the following day, to proceed beyond Eylau, and if the enemy had not changed his pofition, to fall upon his left. Marlal Ney was on the march to outflank him on his right. In this fituation both armies pailed the night.

of St. Hilaire.

church, which had been fo obftinately defend"The Emperor repaired to the poft at the ed the day before. He ordered Marshal Augereau's corps to advance, and cannonade the eminence with 40 pieces of cannon belonging to the Imperial Guard. A dreadful cannonade enfued on both fides.

"The Ruffian army, formed in columns, was only at the diftance of half-cannon fhot. Every bill told For a moment it appeared by the enemy's motions, that impatient of fuffering fo much, he meant to furround our left wing.

At the fame time, Marthal Da◄ vouft's tiralleurs fhewed themfelves, while Marshal Augereau's corps advanced in columns acrofs the plain to attack the enemy's centre, and thus, by dividing his attention, prevented him from falling upon Marshal Davoult with

his whole force. The divifion of St. Hilaire approaching on the right, both corps were obliged to manœuvre, in order to form a junction with Marthal Augereau and the divifion of St. Hilaire in the plain, when a fall of fnow, fo thick as to prevent people from feeing two paces before them, covered both armies. In this interval the point of direction was loft, and the columns moving too far to the left, wandered for fome time in a state of uncertainty. This perplexing obfcurity lafted half an hour, when the weather clearing up, the Grand Duke put himself at the head of the cavalry, and with Marthal Beffieres and the Imperial Guards, advanced to the fupport of St. Hilaire's divifion, and attacked the enemy's main body. This is one of the boldeft manœuvres that has ever been practifed, and will cover our cavalry with glory. It was rendered neceflary by the circumstances in which our columns were then placed. The enemy's cavalry, in attempting to oppofe this movement, were thrown into diforder, and the carnage was dreadful. Two lines of Ruffian infantry were penetrated, and the third only maintained itfelf in confequence of being covered by a wood. Some fquadrons of the Guards paffed twice through the whole of the enemy's army.

An attack fo fplendid and unheard of, which defeated upwards of 20,000 men, and compelled them to leave their artillery, would have decided the victory beyond all doubt, if a wood, and fome obitacles in the nature of the ground, had not prevented it General Haut poult was wounded by a cartridge thot. General Dohlman, and a number of his brave foldiers, died with glory. But about 100 dra goons, cuiraliers, and foldiers of the guard, who were found upon the field of battle, lay encircled with upwards of 1000 of the enemy. This part of the field was dreadful to behold.

"During this period, the whole of Marshal Davouft's corps moved in purfuit of the enemy. The fnow, which had fallen frequently in the day, retarded his march, and prevented the junction of his columns. The enemy's lofs is incalculable; our's is confiderable. Three hundred pieces of cannon, fired during three hours, dealt death on every fide. Vic-tory, for a long time uncertain, was decided, when Marthal Davoust appeared upon the level height, and out-flanked the eneniy, who, after feveral attempts to regain it, chose to retreat. At the fame time Marthal Ney's corps appeared beyone Altorf on the left wing. He overtook the Pruffian colunin that efcaped from Deppen, flying before him. In the evening he took poft in the village of Schenadetten. Several battalions of Ruffian grenadiers, which had not been in the engagement, appeared before this place; but the 6th regiment of

light infantry let them approach the points of their bayonets, and foon put them to flight. The enemy was on the following day purfued to the liver Frischling. He retreated

across the Pregel. He left 16 pieces of cannon on the field of battle, and his wounded. All the houfes along the road by which he retreated is full of them.

"Marthal Augereau is wounded with a musket-ball. Generals Desjardens, Heudelet, and Lochet, are wounded. General Corbineau was killed by a cannon ball. Colonel Lacue, of the 53d, and Colonel Lemarois, of the 43d, were killed by cannon-balls. Colonel Bouvieres, of the 11th dragoons, died of his wounds. All have died gloriously!-The exact number of men which we have loft is 1900 killed, and 5700 wounded; about 1000 of the latter cannot recover, so as to be fit for fervice any more. All the dead were buried on the 10th. We found 7000 Ruflians on the field of battle.

"Thus the plan of the enemy, whofe object in attacking us was to extend themselves beyond our right wing at Thorn, has proved moft fatal to them. Between 12 and 15,000 are made prifoners, and an equal numiet killed and wounded. Eighteen ftandards, and forty five pieces of cannon, remain as trophies of victory in our hands. They have been too dearly purchased, however, by the blood of so many brave warriors.

"The unfavourable ftate of the weather, which under other circumstances would have been of trifling confequence, evidently impeded the movements of the French army. Our cavalry and artillery have done wonders. The Imperial Horfe Guard has obtained a degree of glory beyond all precedent, and that is faying much. The Foot Guards' remained the whole day under arms without firing a musket, or making any movement. Circumstances were of that nature which did not permit them to take any part in the attack. Marshal Augereau's being wounded, was most unfortunate; and hence in the hottest part of the action, his corps was without a leader.

"This recital exhibits a general sketch of the day. Many particular events occurred to the honour of the French foldiers. The Staff is engaged in collecting an account of them. An uncommon quantity of ammunition was ufed by the artillery, and less than usual by the infantry.

The Eagle of one battalion of the 18th has not been found; probably it has fallen into the enemy's hands: the regiment, however, is blameless. In the fituation it was placed in, this may be reckoned among the chances of war. The Emperor will present it with another Eagle when it shall take a ftandard from the enemy. Our object is completed. The enemy is defeated, and drivea one hundred leagues from the Viftula. The army will refome its cantonments, and return to its winter-quarters."

It is with fincere regret we mention that the very extenfive Mulical Instrument Alanufactory of veffrs. Clementi and Company, Tottenham Court Road, was destroyed by fire on Friday the 20th inftant about five o'clock in the morning. Upon the fittest enquiry we find that the moft fcrupulous precautions against danger were as ufual employed the night previous to the fire, and that it is n.oft probable it originated in a fpark paffing from the flue and resting in the roof during the whole of the night. Before the engines could be brought to play, the whole of the internal building was one intenfe body of fire. In this defperate ftate of things, the workmen belonging to the houfe, by their uncommon exertions, added to thofe of their neighbours and volunteers, faved a much greater part of the Grand and Square Piano Forte Cafes and dry materials than the most fanguine could have deemed poflible in fuch a dreadfui conflagration. Every tooi belonging to the workmen was defroyed, but we understand a fubfcription has been moft liberally commenced by their employers, which promiles to re-inftate their loffes." We are happy to have received the most pofitive information, that this extensive concern will experience no great inconvenience, the finishing part of their manufacture being tranfacted at their houfe in the City, where an immenfe quantity of materials were always deposited.

On Friday morning, March 8th, a dreadful fire broke out at the Globe Iun, St. Saviour's church-yard, Southwark, which entirely confumed the premises. The landlord and his wife, with great difficulty, efcaped, but two men, two women, and one child, lodgers in the houfe, unfortunately perished. The premifes of Meffrs. Hinchcliff and Goodall adjoining, were alfo destroyed.

Mater Henry White, 15, one of the unfortuuate fufferers in the late melancholy catastrophe at the Old Bailey.

Highly favoured by nature, he poffetfed great powers of body and mind, he was focial and convivial, could at will "et the table in a roar," and was accounted one of the handiomeft men of his time He was very respectably connected both in England and Wales; yet, the humanity of the Officers of the Holpital retained the body a full fortnight in the dead Louse in the vain hope that fome relation might come forward to pay the last fad duties to the deceased.
