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. Translated for the Mercantile Advertiser. SIXTY-FIFTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY. Osterode, 10th March, 1807. The army is cantoned behind the Passarge. The prince of Ponte Corvo at Holland and at Brauensberg. Marshal Soult at Lcibstadt and Mchtungcn. Marshal Ney at Gustadt. Marshal Davoust at Allcnstein, Hohenstein, and Dieppen. The head-quarters are at Osterode. The Poiish corps of observation, command ed by general Zayoncheck, is at Neidenbourg. The corps of Marshal Lefebrc before Dant zict The sth corps on the Oran lew. A Bavarian division, commanded by the prince-royal of Bavaria, at Warsaw. The corps of prince Jerome in Selesia ; the sth corps of observation in Swedish Pomerania. The places of Breslau, Schweldnitz, and Brieg are demolishing. General llapp, aid-de-camp of the emperor Is governor of Thorn. We have thrown bridges over the Vistula at Mariembourg and Dirschau. 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 ers. After being thus assured of the movements es the enemy, the army had returned into its tan ton ments. The grand duke of Berg, informed that a corps of cavalry had approached Willemberg, caused it to be attacked by prince Borghese, who, at the head of his regiment, charged 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 of the Trench army is cantoned, and is suppli ed with provisions from the cities of E’rbing, Braunsberg, and from the resources which are 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.” Savannah, Tuesday evening, june 2, 1807. communications! “ May apes, as they rife, proclaim, “ The glories of thy natal clay.” OLYMPICS. There can be no better foundation to form an exhibition, called Pageant by some, than the epoch of the declaration ol independence of the United States, and Its subsequent federative national constitution. By recurring to the sra of independence, we rally round the base of our grand pillar. Lbt the 4th July, 1807, be celebrated primarily, as reminding us, that SI years have then rolled away, and the Ame rican people happy, under a free, equal and rc publicsn gov ern m ent. It is already in the hands of our Rt publicans to pave the way for calling to miud these grid', events i FOURTH OF JULY. A Subscription Paper for a Festival, to be given in commemoration of the cver-inemora- Ue. and glorious 4th of July, 1776, is opened at inis office. she expence to each subscriber is I.inked to a sum which every patriot-citizen raiiy advance without inconvenience. It is pro posed to have the fete in the open field; and tnis simple arrangement, as it is most conge nial with the principles of the day, so it ought, and no doubt will, meet with a general ap probation. Hie Jubilee at James Town, we underffand, was celebrated with great hilarity. From two to three thoufarid perform are laid to have attended on the oc cafmn, among whom were about thice bundled ladies. —-Virginia Argus.
