I rejoice to find, that my endeavours to perform
with impartiality the important Dtties, which in
that colony devolve upon its Chief Magistrate, should
by the Loyal and enlightened Inhabitants be deemed
worthy of so distinguishing a marh of their regard.
The approbation of virtuous men is the most valu-
able enjoyment of life, it iss therefore highly satis-
factory to ime, to find, in the signatures tu this honor-
able lesiimonuiml, so very large a portion of the worth
aud of the inlependent spirit of the colony.

and polite atteution | experienced in Berbice, were
I not equally alive to the kind expression of private
feeling contained in this Address. Should it be our
lot to mect no more, I shall not cease to indulge the
pleasing expectation, that even time, will not soon
subdue, those reciprocal sentiments in which I make
no doubt we should have continued to live.

Jtis particularly flattering to mark your approbation
of my conduct in the discharge of one public duty,
by confiding to my hand the instrument of a more
glorious destiny: which, in common with every

Corunna, April 2.—The accounts of the evacuation of
I.eon have proved correct ; it touk place on the morning
of the 27th ult.
Santiago, April 2.,—When the French evacuated Leon,
they carried with them all the grain they could, and that
which they were not able to take was sold, and the inhas
bitants obliged to give the highest price for it.
Rio Junciro, Dec. 1812.—The Prince Regent of Por.
tugal has created the title of Duke of Victoria for the il-
lustrious Lord Wellington, and fur Marshal Beresford
that of Marquis of Campo Mayor.
Valladolid, March 19.—It is said that the Army of
Portugal is now reduced to five divisions, as the others
have been united to them, and that part of them have
marched towards Burgos. Every thing proves, and they
themselves confess, that they are going. to retire to the
bro.
Ciudad Rodrigo, March 30.—At a moment when the
enemy’s troops belunging to the armies of the South, the
Centre, and of Portugal, are in movement, we cannot, with
certainty, point oul their Crue situation; nevertheless we
can say something which may satisfy the curiosity of our
readers.
The army of Portugal has changed many of its garrisons,
withdrawing its hospitals and some magazines from between
the Turmes and the Douro. The garrisons of Alva, Sala.
inanca, and Ledesma still exist, and in the rear of these
are others in various places in the direction of Toro and
Medina. In this town, in Arevalo, Olmedo, and other
places in their vicinity, there are likewise garrisons of ine
fantry and cavalry.—l*rom this army some regiments have
proceeded towards the North of Spain. In Zamora, Toro,
and to Leon and Palencia, garrisons are maintained, In
Pordesilias an& Puente Douro there are also garrisons ;
and on marching from Simancas, the troops of the 2d di.
vision, who were there, set fire to the Archives, and burnt
i part of the building and many documents.
General Reijle’s head-quarters contiuue in Valladolid,
although it is supposed he will change them, on account
of Josaph’s arrival, on the 23d. With the great convoy
uf cloathing, ammunition, money, and articles of com-
merece, which came from France and entered Valladolid on
the 8th, there have arrived from 4 to 5,000 men belonging
to various corps. In its Journey through Burgos, a eon.
siderable quantity of powder was left in that fortress, up-
on the reparation and augmentation of which they labour
incessant ly ;
‘*The Russian forces with which the campaign will
open, cannot be less than 220,000 men.
‘The Prussian 70,000.
‘Swedish and Pomeranian 50,000.
‘6A grand total of 340,000 men.
‘To this must be added the force which Hanover, and
Hesse, and Brunswick, and the Hanse Towns, and, per
haps Saxony, may furnish.”
To meet this fu.ce Bonaparte is making the utmost ef-
forts,a demand is made on France for more than 500,000
men; and the whole force we learn is to be distributed as
follows.
‘*An Army of 400,000 men on the Elbe, 200,000 men
in Spain, and 200,000 men, partly on the Rhine, partly
on the 32d Military Division, and in Italy.”
Allowing every thing for great exaggeration, no doubt
the forces which Bonaparte will bring into the field will
be very numerous. Should Austria join the consideracy
he will scarcely dare the fortune of war; if she does not
join it, the contest will be severe, but if the allies remain
united we doubt not successful.

Dereat or BeaunaRrnols sy WITTGENSTEIN,
London, April 26.—Itis as we suspected from the con.
tents of the last Paris papers. Beauharnois’s change of
position aud movements across the Saale en the 7th, were
View original the consequence of the defeat experienced’ from General’
Wittgenstein, two days before. This information we have
received officially by the Ieligoland Mail this morning.
General Wittgenstein acquaints us that the Prussian
General Von Borstell had been sent to surround Magde-
burgh on the right hank of the Elbe. On the 2d inst.
however, his force was attacked by avery saperior divi-
sion of the enemy, and he was obliged to fall back to
Nedlitz, and afterwards, on the 5th, to Gloine, on the
road to Gortze. Beauharnois in consequence of this suc.
cess, conceived the project of making an attempt ayainst
Berlin. Of Wittgenstein’s near approach he seems to.
have been iguorant; and, putting himself at the head of
24,000 men, with 49 pieces of artillery, he marched against
the Prussian Generals Von Borstell and Bulow. Witt-
genstein had arranged bis plan for falling with his whole
force upon him. ‘The battle tuok place upon the 5th,
an‘ was obstinately contested ; but the enemy were al
length defeated, and night alone saved them from expe-
riencing a more severe loss than they did ex perience. How.
ever, they lost 2000 in killed and wounded, and 27 Olli-
cers and 900 men made prisoners. Generals Grenier and
Grundler were wounded, On the next morning Witt-
genstcin prepared to follow up his advantage, but Beau-
harnoise had retired in the flight, abandoned the defiles of
Warlitzand Alten Cluss, destroy cd the bridges, and cross-
edthe Elbe. Wittgenstein immediately threw up entrench.
ments.at Cluss and other parts, to enable General Bulow
to blockade Magdeburg move closely on the right bank of
the Elbe. Wittgenstein’s head-quarters were on the 7th
at Zerbat, midway between Dessan and Magdeburgh,
The eflcet of the defeat of Beauharnois:has been felt in
other parts. Davoust, who had remained at Lunenburgh
till (he Sth, ou Giat day evacuated it in great haste to res
turn to Magdeburgh.
Not less cheering is the aspect of affairs in every other
partof Ceermany. The Saxon troops have separated from
the French, the cavalry retiring to Torgau and the infantry
to Planen, by order of the King of Saxony. This is a
mauifestation of a change of sentiment and policy on the
part of Bouaparte’s hisherto most devoted vassals.
