It would he injustice to say, that the hish emigrant.; are more national than those of other countries; vet, being numerous, though a very minor -■ - lion of our population, they arc capable, from causes it i ; heedless now to explain, of being generally brought to act in concert, and tinder artfu'leaders niayhe, as they have been, en listed tn mischievous combination:, against our government. This view leads me to state to you without reserve, the hesitation that I have idt in your case ; on the one hand we cannot object to the acquisition of inhabitants from a hroad, possessing capital and skill in a bratich of busine •that with line caution mav, w iihutit ii .k of difficulty, and with public as well hs pri v ate advantage, he established among us; hut en the other hand, if lho opinions ol such in habitants arc likely to throw them into the mass of M vlcon ri-.N-rs, tluir fortune shall, and eon sequent influence would make them tenfold more dangerous, and they might become a disadvantage, instead of \ benefit to our coun try. You must be sensible that I possess no sufficient means of forming an opinion losprct iv, vmu- sentiments; but the motives which 1 ad me to intcu letc with vour govenimcut to restrain the emigration of the persons alluded i >, oblige me to observe a due caution on the present occasion; at the same time l de-ire l ot to art with illibcrality, and should be unwil ling to bring upon my country the slightest imputation of inhospitably.

The new cabinet are the very identical per sonsto whom Bii ke alluded in the following poignant and vigorous satiiicul statement of facts in his “ Regicide Peace.” “ rite creatures of the desk, and the crea tures of favor, had no relish for the principles ot the nianilestoes. They promised no go vernments, no regiments, no revenues whence emoluments might arise by perquisite or by grant. In truth, the t: il>e of vulgar politicians are the lowest of our species. There is no trade so vile and mechanical as government in their hands. Virtue is not their habit. They are cut Y>f thcmsclvsc in any conduct recom mended only by conscience and glory. A large, liberal and prospective view of the inter est of states, passes with them for romance, and the principles that recommend them for the wanderings ol a disordered imagination.

Sixty third Bulletin cf tiic Grand Army. Okterc.tr, 2UA February, 1807. Captain Auznis of the- imperial horse guards, mortally wounded in the battle of Eylau, was laying on the field of battle. His contra les came to him tr.ke him tip and carry him to the hospital. He recovered his senses only to sav in them : Let me alone my fiiends ; I die con tented, since we have gained the day, and that 1 can die upon the bed of honor, surrounded by cannon tnkon from the enemy and the wrecks ol their deleat. Tell the emperor that 1 have but one regret; which is that in a lew moments that I shall he no longer able to do any tiling for his service, and the glory of our fine France. To her my last breath.”-v-Thc effort he made to utter these words, exhausted the little breath he had remaining. All the reports we receive, agree in stating that the enemy lost at the battle of Eylau, 20 generals and 9000 men killed and wounded, and upwards of 8000 men disabled. At the engagement of Ostrolenka, of the 16th, two Russian generals were Killed and three wounded. His majesty has sent to Paris the sixteen stands of colors taken at the battle of Eylau. All the cannon arc already sent off to Thorn. His majesty has ordered that these cannon shall be melted down and made into a brazen statute of general llautpoul, commander of the sec ond division of cuirassiers, in his uniform of cuirassier. The army is concentrated in its cantonments ’ behind the Passavga, which is left supported 1 by Marienvverder die island of Nogat ar.d El- Ling, countries which afford resources. Being informed that a Russian division had marched towards Brunsberg at the head of our cantonments, the emperor ordered it to be at tacked. Ihe plines of Ponte Carvo assigned the expedition to general Dupont, a:i officer of great merit. On the 23th at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, general Dupont presented himself before Braunsberg, attacked the enemy’s di vision, 10,000 strong, overthrew, it with fixed bayonet, drove it from the town, and made it remiss the passage, took front it 15 pieces of camion, two stands of colours, and made 2000 prisoners \Y t: had very few men killed. I On the side ei Gustiult, gen. Loger Bclair : repaired to the village of Peterswade, at dav ‘ break on the 25th upon receiving advice that a Russian column had arrived during the night at that village', oveitlircvv it, took the general Baron do Korif, who commanded it, his staff, several lieutenant colonels and officers, and •100 men. 1 Iris brigade was composed of 10 ‘ battalions, which had suffered so much, that they formed only 1700 men under arms. The emperor, in testimony of his satisfac tion to general Lavary for the engagement of Ostrolenka, has granted him the grand insig nia cf the legion of honour, and called him about his person. His majesty lias given the command of the sth corps to Marshal Masse lia. Marshal Lannes continuing to be sick. At tiic battle ei Lvlavi, Ylnrshal Antrereati overrun with rheumatic pains, was sick and hardly in his senses ; but the cannon awakes the brave ; h; ilew in full gallop to the head of his corps, after getting himself tied upon his horse. lie was constantly exposed to the greatest fire, and was even slightly wounded. The emperor lias just authorized him to return to France for the purpose of taking care of his health. The garrison of Ziiberg ar.d Dantzick. avail ing themselves of the little attention paid *o them, had encouraged themselves bv different exertions. An advanced post of the Italian division was attacked on the 16th, at Star-;>.rd, by a party of 800 men of the garrison of Col berg. General Bonsati had with him only a few companies of the first Italian regiment of the line, wnicli took to their arms in time, marched with resolution against the enemv and routed him. ‘ ’ General Teuli, on his side, with the main bo dy of live Italian division, the regiment of mus keteers of the guards and first company of gendarmes on duty, repaired to invest Collievw, 1 on arriving at Nangarten, he found the eiteinv | intrenched, occupying a fort hc*ctj with niece i of cannon.

March IK Independently oi the engagements which have taken piacc between the respective grand armies, from the 18th to the 2Tl‘of February, some others have been knight b„ the Polish and Baden troops, in w hich tliey'linvc gained much glory. The first cf thcsc’took place on the 18th at Stargardt. A body cf Poles and Budcns being on their march to Dantzig, were surprised during the night, by the enemy - their number unknown. A severe conllict'en sued, which lasted two hours; at krai they were loiecd to give way, and betook themselves to a wood, where they could not be persued. 1 hen .ass consisted cfiumit one hundred pris oners, besides several s'rm. It is supposed their force was about SIX) infantry, and 600 cavalry. On the 2 i st, a battalion cf Rader,s, posted nc nr Starguret, whose picket guarcis extended to a biivlge on the road to Derchau, wc:eas s.uled by u corps oi Prussians. 1 hev were however soon made to repent their” •*.;ter prize; a few were slam, but the remainder got off under the protection of their c.aval iv ; retiring, as they had approached, in sledges. Oil the 23d, a severe engagement took place at Derchau, which town was attacked by the uin.cd ioice ot the Polish and linden troops— the conflict was bloody; yet, nctwilstanding the gallant dcience of the enemy, the place was taken possession of. The Prussian com mander, whose force consisted of 1500 men, and four pieces of cannon, had collected all his advanced posts in the town, a great proportion oi whom were entrenched in the church and burial ground; he defended himself most cou raigcousiy, in hopes oi receiving some assist ance; in this he was net mistaken, the brisk and well directed fire of the artillery, was an swered by him with equal firmness; at last, the burning oi the suburbs, occasioned bv the how itzers, tee. opened a chance to the Polish and Baden troops, to rush into the town, when they surrounded the Prussians, & made 300 of them prisoners, among whom were 11 officers ; tho remainder escaped, having taken themselves to flight. 1 he Baden troops signalized liicmselves in this affair. Whilst ih event took place, another body of Baden and Polish troops, had a rencounter with a corps *>f Prussians, on their nvaichto the relief cf the town; its force consisted of - K j° infantry, and two squadrons of cavalry ; then defence was obstinate, as lone- as the town held out; but, no sooner, was it taken than disorder and confusion seized them— more than 800 was either taken, wounded, oi killed—the remainder took the road to Dantz.ig, I hose various engagement - v ere conducted by generals Menard and Doin’ tov sira ; the Po lish and Baden troops which they commanded, have acquired great glory; particularly bO , when it ia considered they are nearly all new ,cvief, and had to light the best Prussian troops which were encamped near and at Dantzig, for j its defence. ** , ’ mm Gsterode, they write, under date of tnc i tli of March, th.u nothing material had taken place between the respective grand a:- xnics. rim sublime Porte has declared war against • the king oi England. \:'F,Trp.T>.M, March 23 | Pat’s pipers of the i 9th inst. nothing] 5 ! 9 rcc". . co:iso!s,.7a 1- I per .•or>*.; ■ .nk share ia i .Hr i-> per I<> •; f-. nc.;.
