Capt. Riley, of the ship Two Maries, arrived yesterday, in 38 days from Newry, informs us that London papers to the 25th of April, (which he took with him, but which he gave to the commander of an English armed vessel) contained some additional accounts of the movements of the grand armies up to the 3d. The French imperial head quarters were still at Osterode. Marshal Massena had moved forward ten German miles with the right wing of the grand army. No general battle had taken place since that of Eylau. Both armies continued to receive powerful reinforcements; and the emperor Alexander was on his way to take the command of his immense army, which, it was said, amounted to three hundred thousand men. [Our former advices from London were only to the 21st of April.]
