A German Journal, which has an extensive circulation, makes the following reflections on Ru sia: The situation 1 f this empire, it says, is at the present moment very alarming. An innumerable French army is now marching across Poland, which already assembles ai! its strength, in order to lake advantage ol so fine ; an opportunity, which perhaps will not (tiler itself a second time, to recover and lound its; independence. The urks are ri ing 111 tiie | south, in order to make an effort to avenge I their long state of abasement and to prepare | a barrier for the future. Persia, in short, who j is already sending ambassadors to .Napoleon,; will not let slip so favorable an opportunity ol’ repelling from her frontiers so dangerous “a j neighbour, Vlio every day penetrates still fur ther towards the centre ol her empire, i hese facts arc undeniable, and what would it be were the king of Sweden, embracing a policy more suitable to his present interests, to w ish also to profit of present circumstances, to de mand and retake front Russia the provinces which bis predecessors lost, ik. which the r>\ve dish nation still regrets. Attacked on so many points, disturbed on the Baltic and Black seas, whose mouths will be shut up from her, what resistance will this great yet feeble (flasque) and disproportionate body present to a French army, already capable of annihilating it without all this assistance. They write from Vienna, that a Russian general, (who is not named) has arrived inth.it capital with an important mission ; he lodges with the Russian ambassador, who has present ed him to the court. Letters from Prussia state, that a changd is about taking place in the Russian ministry. If this new sis confirmed, it may be regarded as a favorable augur for peace, but the report of advances made Ity the court of Pctersburgh to the emperor of France, is so often renewed without being confirmed, that all news ol tlfis kind must be viewed as doubtful. PARIS, January 1. Letters from Menu mention that a courier] from Berlin had given intelligence in that town, that H M. tlie Emperor of tlie French had ] made his solemn entry into Warsaw, where he iv..s received with the greatest enthusiasm. The head-quarters of the grand army being tints established in the capital of Poland, there ! is reason to believe that military events will shortly resume a great activity. The bankers of the American government at have made known to the pub lic, tlvat on the Ist of January instant, they will pay the interest due on the loans made in Iloi land, by the United Stales. January 2. The report maintains its ground, that Bue nos Ayres has been retaken irom the English. Letters from Dantzick, of the 13th Decem ber, say, that to this day the French have at- j tempted nothing against this citv. The Jews of Dresden, Furth, ami Ham burgh, have named deputies to repair to the grand Sandhadrim at Palis. We are assured, tliat three Rabins are about to leave Constan tinople to join this assembly. j The meafurrs prescribed by the imperial de cree, which declares the Btiufli isl.-s in a tla'e ‘ of b'oekade, is carried into execution on a'.! , points. Several American and Portuguese vrf. ] fe!s arrived in the toads of Cherbourg, having \ touche ! in England, have not been permitted I to enter that port. In execution of the imperial decree, which repels from French ports evi ry ship coming directly irom England or its colonies, and to prevent ships from making use of the pretext: of having been forced into England or her pos sessions, from stress of weather, tlie captains of foreign ships on their arrival in anv French port, must declare the place whence they were dispatched, the one whence they came, and the ports into which they may have put ; to give a summary information of their cargo, and to affirm that they come neither direclv f-ont England nor from her colonies. If the decla m.'.Y'i announces that the ship put into England, she shall be forced to put back; in the contrary cas--, the declaration shall be sent by the com mandcr of the port, to the superior administra tor of the mat it. s. who shall concert with the superior directors of the custom-houses, to ve -1 rify the sincerity of it. If the declaration is found net to be evr.ct. the Vessr 1 shall be seized j with her cargo. ’1 he captain ol any foreign I vc,,cl who sou id refuse to sign his dedaratk n, j shall l>e hold on to sal! out o! port, and to nave no communication whatever with the Led. BORDEAUX, January 8. The last news fiom Teste informs us, that the F.nglish had landed a party there, which ow ing to the heavy surf on the slioie, could not j l c-embark; 110 of these have been taken af ter a smart fire of musquetry, their conductor was a Frenchman, who had been a pilot ior twelve years; he has been brought to this -place and will be shot in a day or two; the re remainder of the prisoners will arrive this even in or to-morrow morning. They had taken the wife of the pilot, who has been restored.—- ; This partv burnt a few barracks, spiked up the ! cannon, and blew up a small magazine contain- , , ing about IGOibs. of powder. Extract rtf alet: rr from Saxony,of the \ 7th Dec. 1 “ The manufacturers of cotton cloths find a ; great scarcity of cotton-yarn or tv. ist; they pro cured it therefore front England. They now turn their views to France, where the spinning of cotton has been brought to great perfection. . A number have applied to the French iilatiucs, J and they flatter themselves that they will ob tain yarn as good as that coming from England. The scarcity of yarn will then cease, and cur ! manufacotrics wiil renew their activity. We arc endeavoting, also, to introduce spinning machines into this country ; but they are yet too few in number lo supply the want of the fa brics ; besides, the difficulty of procuring the raw materials, will always be an obstacle to the increase ol this branch ( f industry.” Extract of a private letti r from Saxony, of the 1 7 th December. Our manufactories have not yet got out of the stagnation they were struck with before the war, and which the breaking out of hostilities was not calculated to put an end to ; but v. e at least have a prospect of its end, which the in fluence of English commerce, previous to the events that have just taken place, had deprived us of. The occupation of Bucnos-Ayrcs by the English is particularly hurtful to the rna- \ nufacturcrs of Lusace, who exported great i quantities of linen to that colony and to the ! whole of South America, where it is in much ‘ greater demand than in Europe. However, even though this conquest had not taken place, 1 it would have been very difficult to find at Ham burgh any captains of ships who, in tlie pre sent circumstances, would have undertaken to convey our linens to South America. The cotton manufactories experience a scar city of yarn, which can only be momentary ; they formerly drew it from England ; but they have now recourse to France, where cotton’ spinning has within these few vears been great ly improved. Several manufacturers have al ready sent orders to the French spinners, from whi m they expect to receive as good and fine: yarn as they formerly had front England. The receipt of this yarn will give fresh activity to cur cotton manufactories. The ribbon manufactories in the circle efi Erizbrig are at this moment in want of dyed silk, which they drew from Berlin, where it was manufactured ; but the manufactories 01 that capital having resumed their usual labors, v.e hope that in a few weeks this momentary scat city will be removed. The interruption of ail communication with the north of Furopc, particularly with Russia and Poland, where Saxon goods have hitherto had the greatest sale, is not without disadvan tage for the Saxon traders ; for the manufac turers have given credit to a large amount to their commissioners in those countries, and it i-> now impossible for them to draw their mo ney from thence by biiis of exchange. The greatest vent they now have is the Austrian states and the Levant. LONDON, December 31. The report of a war between Russia and Turkey, rests on very doubtful grounds. It is dated , m Berlin, the very mint of fabrications. Thi i rumour, perhaps, was circulated with a view to induce the French to suppose, that Bo naparte still retained his influence in the Di van ; that such a war would divide the strength of Alexander. In the mean time, Sebastian! would exert all his arts to dissolve the treaty concluded between the courts of Petersburgh and Constantinople. The French, it is well known, have played off such temporary tricks, when any object was to be carried. 1f it should, however, turn out to be true, that the Turks have driven Russia to appeal to the sword, the theatre of war, in all probability, will be trans ferred from Poland to Turkey. In such a case the navy of this country would be of essentia! service to our ally. Egypt would once more fall into our hands, and a trade with Persia thrown open to our merchants. If the articles of the treaty, inserted in the Statesman of yes terday, be authentic, all the Christians of the Greek church will range on the side of Russia ; for m one of these articles, it is expressly stip ulated, that they shall he permitted to enter into the Russian service, a privilege they have long w ished for, as a dawn of cheering prospects, li’ the war has lately broken out, and if the Russians have stretched so far, as stated, into Turkey, it is a proof of the wisdom and activity of the cabinet of Petersburgh, that it could not be lulled into safe security; and that the most prompt measures were taken to put the army in motion on the first signal of hostilities. A respectable morning paper informs us. that private letters were received yesterday from Charleston, announcing the seizure of some of our vessels in that port, !i the landing” ( end I‘d-eirG’ their carr-ces ir. the custcir.-hoi ve I D O l ’ I I 111 consequence oi tr.fi mit-rmatun. a depu tation of American me: eh a its, is s.ad la hme waited on lord (d.iuifc yesterday, to revcive instructions with re -j;cct to the line- oi cei.a.at most prudent to be a-'; ted under -.he- existing circumstances.

The emperor has \ isi'.e ! the works of Pra ga, ei iit handsome redoubts, paii-saded, toi in an intrenched camp. The Vistula is one of the largest kind ol livers. The Bug, vvfticn is comparatively much smaller, L larger than the Seine. The bridge on this latter river is cm tirely finished. General Gauthier with the’ 25th and 85th regiments of infantry, occupy the tete du ftont, (head eftbe bridge) w hic.li ge neral Cheelop.e, has caused lo be loiti.ie,. in such a manner that this head which has an ex tent of only 400 toises, finds itself supported by marshes and the river, encircled by an inn ei.cit ed crimp on the right bank, which could licit! the whole of the army covered from every at tack. of an enemy. A brigade of the light ca valry of reserve lias constantly small skirmish es with the Rushan cavalry. On the 18th, * m. .ii Sml Davoust, feeling the necessity of strengthening Iris camp on d.e 1 right bank, tool; possession of a little island si- I tuate at the mouth of the Lika. The enemy ] saw the importance of this post ; a ii.eiy at j tack vvi.li musquetry took place between the j advanced guards, but the v ictory and trie island | remained with the French. Our loss whs a J few men wounded; the engineer Clouet, a young man of great hopes, Ims icoeivcd a bail in his breast. On the I‘Jth, a regiment of Cossacks, sup i ported by the Russian Hussars, attempted to carry off the main guard of tire Jit ht cavalry placed in front of the tete du font of the Bug, but it v.as place’ a manner lo be sheltered front all„surpme. The first hussars gave the alarm ; the colonel precipitated himscif at the head of his squadron, and the 13th adv anced to sustain him. The enemy was overthrown. In this little affair vve had 3 or 4 men wounded, but the colonel of the Cossacks was hided, 30 men and 25 horses remained m our power. There is nothing mote miserable and base than-those Cossacks ; they are tlie disgrace cf human nature, they pars the Bug every day and v iolate the neutrality of Austria, to pillage hous es in Galiicia, or to make their owners give them a glass of branciv, of which they me very fond; but our cavalry have familiarised themselves with their manner of fighting, since the last campaign. These wretches might, by their number, and the noise they make in charging, stop troops not accustomed to sec them ; but when they are known, 2Cu-0 of these men are not able to charge a squadron whic h waits for them on a firm footing. Marshal Augereau has passed the Vistula at Ulrata. General Lassisse has entered I’icusk, and driven the enemy from it. Marshal Boult has passed the Vistula at Vi* zoirrod. O Marshal Bessicres arrived on the Sth, at Kikcl, with the second corps of the reserve of tiie cavalry, ike first is arrived at fciepev. Dif ferent rencontres of cavalry have taken place with the Prussian hussars ; a considerable m A.i ber have been made prisoners. The right bank of the Vistula is entirely cleared of them. Marshal Ney, with his corps ol the army, supports Marshal Ilessieres; he arrived the 18th at R’ pen. His right is suppoited by th*’ Marshal I’rince De Ponte-Corvo. Every thing here is movement; if the ene my pcrsist in remaining in his position, there? will he a battle in a few days—with the aid of God. the is. ue cannot be doubtful. General Michel son is decidedly entered into Moldavia; reports state, that lie entered Yassi, on the 29th November; vve ate assured even, j that one of his generals has taken Bender bv assault, and put all to the sword. Here then is a v r declared against the Porte, without pretext or reason ; but it was thought at Bt. Retersburgh that tlie moment in which Franco and Prussia, the only two powers the most in -1 tercsted to maintain the independence of Tur ’ key, were at war, was the favorable moment to subject tins power. The events of amo ilii , hive disconcerted these calcafiitions—the }'vu* i viii owe to them its preservation.
