A Dritifh enfign and three privates killed, and one wounded, and only one wounded, on the American fide. By an arrival at New York of the fhip Lark, from Plymouth (England, the editor of the Public Advertifer hjs received a file of London papers to a late date, con taining important intelligence from i tne feat of war in Europe, of which the following is a luminary : u It appears by the London mini fieri al Courier of the 29th Sept. that there has been a great ban! : 2e a decilive one in its conferences, between the French and Ruffian armies at Majatfk, where it was declared they meant to rifk one. They had thrown up an entrenched camp before the town early in September, and Bonaparte ! attacked them in it on the rth. - The Paris papers, the Moniteur and Journal de Paris, of the 2 4th September, agn e as to the facts ; the former Hates that on the rth at 5 a. m. Bonaparte attacked the Ruffian army at Mojaifk, which ' was complf tely routed, and at r in the afternoon he wa:. Hill on horfeback follow mg up his brilliant fuceels. The Journal de Piis, lays that the battle commenced at v a. m. and that by 3 the Ruffians were that Mojuifk !as fuffered the fate ol Smolenfk ; that the French have J marched on and entered Mofcow ; Uhat the triumphal Bonaparte has seized noon the imp: ::!, treafures of die ancient city of the Ruffian Lsars, and drove the infatuated Alexander behitid the Oka. Mojaifk is about 60 miles from Mofcow, and notwithftanding the flat tering accounts, fays the London Statefman, which have lately been received from lir Robert Wilfon, we apprehend Alexander will be compelled to fue foi peace, & fobmit to fuch terms as Napoleon may think proper to grant him, and England ma) again be reduced to the neceflity of withdrawing their fkel etotl armv from the Deninfula. to proteel her own fhores, or to make a peace when the laurels of victory have tadetl on her brow. Riga is clofely befieged bvT the French. All the official accounts from Ruflia are derived from fir U. Wilfon, who originally nccom panied rnr. Liiion to Conftantino-
