Nnv-TORS, May U.
The Brig Alonzo, which arrived at this, port
yesterday, It it Bordeaux on the 4th of April,
and the river on the Bth. It was currently re
ported that she brought Paris papers containing
bulletins from the Grand Army to the 73d, and
they announced the complete overthrow of the
Russians under general Benningsen, who was
represented to be a prisoner. We do not learn,
however, that her Paris papers are later than
the 30th es March. A file of these is in pos
session of the editor of the Mercantile Adver
tiser. It furnishes us with two additional bul
letins (the 65th and 66th,) and these are the
only articles of sufficient interest to be worth
translating.
General Benningsen, according to our last
accounts of him, was sick at Konigsberg.

Having been informed, on the Ist March,
that the enemy, encouraged by the position
which the army had taken, had shewed them
selves ail along the right bank of the Passarge,
the emperor ordered marshals Soult and j\cy
to reconnoitre, and to advance to repulse them.
Marshal Ney marched on the Gustadt, Mar
shal Soult passed the Passarge at Wormditt.
The enemy immediately made a general
movement, and retreated towards Konigsberg.
Tneir posts, which had retired in great haste,
were pursued three leagues. Seeing that the
French did not make any other movement,
and that they were pursued only by the advan
ced guards who had left their regiments, two
regiments of Russian grenadiers returned
back, and in the night approached the canton
ment of Zochern. The 50th regiment receiv
ed them with the bayonet. The 27th and 39ih
behaved in the same manner.
In the little combats, the Russians have had
one thousand men killed, wounded or prison

After being thus assured of the movements
es the enemy, the army had returned into its

The grand duke of Berg, informed that a
corps of cavalry had approached Willemberg,
caused it to be attacked by prince Borghese,

eight Russian squadrons, overthrew and put
them to the route, and made about 100 prison
ers, amongst whom are three captains and eight
subalterns.
Marshal Lefebre has entirely surrounded
Dantzick, and has began at that place the works
of circumvallation.
SIXTY-SIXTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND
•ARMY.
Osterode, March 14.
The grand army continues in cantonments
where it is taking repose. Little combats
have taken place between the advanced posts
of the two armies. Two regiments es Rus
sian cavalry came on the 12th, to disturb the
59th regiment of infantry of the line, in its
Cantonments of Lignan, and before Gustadt.—
One battalion of this regiment took arms, am
bushed themselves and fired close tothe enemy
who left 80 men on the field. Gen. Guyot,
who commanded the advanced posts of marshal
Soult, has had severl engagements which have
terminated to his advantage.
After the little battle of Willemberg, the
grand duke of Berg has driven all the Cossacks
from the right banks of the Elbe, in order to
assure himself that the. enemy was not con
cealing some movement, He came to Wur
temberg, Seeburg, Meusguth, and Birchoflfs
bourg. file had some engagements with the
enemy’s cavalry, and has made about 190 Cos
sacks prisoners.
The Russian army have begun to concen
trate the coast of Bartenstein, on the Alle ;
the Russian division on the coast of Cieiuz
bonrg.
The enemy has made a movement of one
march towards Koningsbevg. Pho whole

brought from the isle ofXogat, which is of very
great fertility'.
General Thulier has invested Colbcrg.
A division of 12,000 Bavarians commanded
*>7 the prince royal of Bavaria, has passed
the Vistula at Warsaw, and has just joined the
r:ny.
ALTON A, March 12.
The Danish government has given orders to
its subjects, to furnish the corps ur.de; Marshal
Jlortier, with every thing in theii power.
Several persons of rank h ive received orders
to quit Peter .burgh, in consequence of being
accused of speaking too feet-ly of the events'of
the war and laying the fault on the government.
Prmce of Benevento, iiiinistefofexterior re
lations, who lately arrived from the imperial
head quarters at Osterode, previous to his re
turn transmitted a note to the foreign ambassa
dors, informing them, that tiiey must return to
Berlin with their suites.
The Court of Denmark has notified to the
ambassador of his Britannic majesty, that they
have viewed with displeasure an English fleet
in the Baltic.
By several arrivals at Ancona, from Con
stantinople, we learn, that on the 12th of Fe
bruary, all the Russian merchant vessels in
that port were seized, and that two frigates
wtfh troops for Corfu, in attempting to pass the
Dai dandles were also captured.
The 1 urkisb government has not relaxed in
Us preparations. -As soon as the reinforce
ments, expected from Asia, shall arrive at An
dri.iople, the Grand \ izier, with all the gene
rals, will depart, and act on the offensive, to
drive the Russians out of Moldavia and Wala
chia. Iho plan ol operations has been agreed
upon between tire grand Vizier, and general
Sebastian, the Trench ambassador, w ho enjoys
the fullest confidence of the grand Seicmor'and
the Divan.
B ANKS OF Till ELBE. March 2l
V e have received accounts from Osterode.
of the 14th instant. It would appear that the
head-quarters, would not bo removed as soon
as was expected; since the latter end of Feb
ruary', nothing ot consequence had occurred in
that neighborhood, the two armies are occupied
with receiving new reinforcements. The French
direct themselves in great strength towards the
corps of marshal Massena at Warsaw, which
according to every appearance, will not long
remain inactive.
LONDON, April L
Yesterday a mail from Husum arrived,bring
ing Hamburg and Altona papers to the 26th
ult. The French head-quarters were at Oste
rode on the 12th ult. and this, we believe, is
the latest intelligence which has been receiv
ed from that quarter. A letter from East
Prussia, of the 18th ult. mentions that they
continued there on the preceding dav, but this
is probably a mistake. Ihe latest intelligence
from Berlin is of the 21st and it is almost im
possible that news from East Prussia, consider
ing the difficulties of comm tliicaliun, could
have reached that city in four days.
The continental Journals arc so extremely
reversed respecting the transactions in Poland,
that it is not easy to discover v. hflt is doing
there. We can however perceive Bonaparte
is not likely to repass the Vistula without once
more appealing to his fortune. The. part of
his army which has been confided to Massena.
has been strongly reinforced. Uncommon ef
forts have, been employed to fill up the im
mense void produced in t lie French army bv
the sanguinary conflicts in w hich it has been
lately engaged, and if general Benningsen can
maintain himself for a short time against the
talents and strength which will be brought to
bear upon him, we are not very apprehensive
of his ultimate success.
PETERSBURG, (V.) May 21.
Burr, ihe trial of this “ iallen man,” as
he was emphatically denominated by Mr. Ran
dolph, one ot liia counsel, comes on to-morrow,
in Richmond. It is understood he has enga
ged the talents of Luther Id art in to aid his de
fence, in conjunction with the counsel he has
retained in Richmond. For the prosecution,
the President in addition to Messrs. Hay and
Rodney, has employed William Wirt and
Alexander M‘Rae, esquires.
We stop the press (says the Orleans Ga
zette) to announce from unquestionable autho
rity, that on the 2()th instant, in Washington
county, Missisippi territory, the secretary of
colonel Burr, Mr. Willy, of Watteville, was
arrested on his route to Georgia. On his ex
amination, he confessed that he was then in the
service of colonel Burr, in the capacity of se
cretary ; that he had been dispatched by colo
nel Burr from Natchez with two pair of saddle
bags, and two valices, cbntaing his clothes and
papers, to some part of Georgia. We know
not how he has been disposed of, but sincerely
hope that he may, with the papers in his pos
session, be sent to the seat of government, and
not suffered to come within the control of ge
neral Wilkinson.
General Robert Todd, general William
Russell, and John Jordan, jr. esq. have been
subpoenaed as witnesses on the trial of Burr,
which was to commence in Richmond, on the
22nd inst. Those gentlemen left Lexington,
(Ken.) on the Bth hist, for Richmond.
! r is curious to hear the poor Irish republi
cans abused and insulted in so many of our
federal papers. Was not Starks an Irishman ?
Was not Mucdougal of Irish pedigree ? Are
not the Sullivans ol Irish extraction ? Was not
Montgomery Irish? The Irish fought and
blecl for the American revolution—that is the
grievance, i hey are not tories, the sons of
torics, or the grandsons of tories. They are
honest and laborious citizens ; they work hard,
and they have fought hard. We will venture
to say, that the Irish supplied more officers
and soldiers in the revolutionary army, than
all the other nations of the world. When this
country ceases to be the asylum of the perse
cuted republicans of the British aristocracy,
whether English, Scotch or Irish, its honors are
then blasted forever, and it will be then fit to
1/i* the enslaved colony of a foreign, tottering
oligarchy.
\) T oev ;: has the feelings of a true republi
can is atvAmcriean In heart—no matter where
he was rock’d in his cradle,” if he respects the
true principles and objects of the American
revolution. II he is the friend of civil and religi
ous liberty, then he will be an American in
heart, whether born on this or the other side of
the Atlantic.
Singular Suicide. On Tuesday evening was
married, at New-York, fMr. Dennis Miller, a
widower, to a young woman of the name of
Russell. Next morning the bride-groom arose,
went to the church yard, and there shot him
self with a pistol upon the grave of Ins former
wife. He left a paper behind him, of which
the following is a copy :
“ Bay not 1 committed suicide. Say not I
was in a state T)f derangement. No: it is the
sensibility of my heart that hurts me. Fare
well to the world, and those, that love me. Take
care of my child. lam not afraid to meet my
Dennis Miller.”
