foreign Nexus. YVEIMER, October 13. * Our situation was dreadful ..ere for some days—the conquerors having en teied pell mell with the vanquished, it wns impossible to escape the pillage. On the appearance of the Emperor Napoleon, tilings were, however, some what bettered, but never can Wciincr forget her Pi incess, who alone remain ed with us for our consolation, and lias obtained for us the piivilege of being preserved from the fury of the victorious soldiers. The disorders whit h were committed lor sonic time have ceased, an the town commandant Denzel pro mised they should, and the price of e very commodity arc in consequence per ceptibly lower —nor can it be properly said, as in the time of the Prussians that there is an actual famine in the place. Avery affecting scene was the fune ral of the Prussian Lieutenant-General Sclunettau, who died of his wounds.— An entire regiment of French infantry followed the hearse in co triple ate un iform ; the pall was supported by French otlicers, and one of them pronounced a funeral oration over the body. Seme of the Prussian field Officers, whose se vere wounds were an obstacle .to their being sent further on, have died of their wounds, notwithstanding all the care of the French surgeons. The act of sur gery being in Germany very far behind, in comparison with the high degree of perfection and address to which it is carried in France, all the wounded Prus sians of consequence have lequested to be placed under the care of the french eurgeons. A young Prussian aid-de-camp, who had begged permission to remain with his general, who was taken by the Fret eh at the battle of Jena, has employed him self in drawing up an account of the oc currences of that remarkable day, and in like manner as the French Official Bulletin, he attribu es, from the first de feat of the Prussian army to the fault of the Duke-of Brunswick in not possessing, while there was time the defiles of Koe sen, Marshall Dcvoust took possession of them at the break of day, and eleven successive attacks were vainly employ- Xl to dislodge them. MAYENCE, October 29. The Empress ofFrance received here last night a courier from the grand army. It appears, that the king of Prussia has demanded peace, and that prince of Be neveuto, the minister of foreign affairs, has been summoned by the emperor to discuss the conditions of it with the Prus sian plenipotentiaries. That prince has •ccordingly quitted Mayence to repair with all possible expedition to Berlin.—- On the same day, the first column of Prussian prisoners, to the amount of 3,180 men, arrived here on their route to N.iucy. Successive columns of pri soners will follow them without delay. HAGUE- November 4. (pAZETTK EXTRAOHIUNAHY.)

As the military movements are no 1 longer uncert.d.l, they arc become still H M e mteiesting, by the contrivances oi Tnarches and manoeuvres— she iudeiat igartie grand dutte ot Berg was at >kul-j dcnick on the ‘doth, at three o’clock in the afternoon, with a brigade of light c.xvJrv, umtci general Ltsiie, while the llxe division oi dragoons under the gen’s. ]>camount aiui Guouccy were marching to the same point. , ine br a ade under general I.tsallc presented itself to the enemy, who oppo-} tea it with cavalry. This was the < w .u>ic of the Bros- ian army that had es-; coin’d from Madgebttrgh, forming the ! advanced guard oi prince Ilohenlohe’s corps, directing their march towards Stettin. At faur in the afternoon, when both divisions of cavalry had arrived, general; Lassalie at'acked the enemy with htsj usual intie.pidity, which has always fonn eu the character of French Hussars and Y agers in the present war. The enemy's line, though foirnod three deep, was bmken ; duty were pursued into the vil* Li4,e ofZw ihenkk, and thiviwn i to con fusion in the defiles. The queen’s regi ment of dragoons endeavored to recover themselves- but thedragoons of Grouchy * dividßt soon shewed themselves fell \tpon the enemy, and made dreadful ha voc k rniong them. A part of these 6000 Cavtui-y aw diimi into the morasses;; fito remaned upcr.tfic field; 700 with their horses wet c mail. prisoners; the colonel and a great number of offi. ers of the queen’s regiment are included. The colors of the regiment are taken. Mar shal Cannes’ corps is in full march to ijoiri our cavalry. The cttrassiers are 1 marching in columns to the tight wing, | and another corps is advancing towards I the Gransco. We shall be at Stettin | before live army that are marching there; ! who being out-fianked, is as good as cut off already. Undisciplined as they are, I there is reason to hope that not a man of them will escape, and that the whole j of that part of the Prussian army, which ( lost two days without any advantage at Madgeburg, in order to collect them selves, will not be able to reach the Oder. The above-men tinned affair at Zed henick, as a martial achievement, is re markable : neither party had any infan try—but that the Prussian cavalry is much inferior to ours, is proved by the, event;-, ol this campaign. They have never been able to make a stand against half their number of French. One of the adjutants of the general stall taken prisoner by the enemy in Thnmigia, as he was carrying orders to marshal Mortier, was conveyed to Cus trin, where he saw the king. He says, that very few troops hud arrived on that side of the Oder either there, or at Stet tin ; he scarcely saw any infantry. The following letter ftom Bei lin, da ted October 27, appears in the Moni teur; ‘ His majesty, the Emperor of the French, has made his entrance into this capitol to-day, at 3 o’clock in the after noon, with the finest weather -in the world, He was preceded by his foot and horse guards, and followed by a fine regiment of Curassiers. All the inhabitants went to meet his majesty. Nothing but heads were tol>e seen, and nothing heard but the cry of ‘ long five the Emperor.’ This evening the whole city is illuminated ; the streets are full of people. -One would think one’s self in f ranee, in the midst of some public fete. We iearn that the day after the Em peror’s entrance into Berlin, a minister ol the elector of Saxony arrived there, and it is thought that if negociatioivs take place, this city will be the seat of them. • WKNTY-FIHST HUELLETIN. Jieriirt, October 28. Yesterday the Emperor made his public entry into this city ; he was at tended by the prince of Neufchatal, the marshals Davoust and Angereau, Mar shal Lelebyr headed the train, with the imperial loot guards. The cuirassiers ot Nansouty’s division were drawn up in order of battle along the road. At three in the afternoon he alighted at the pa lace, where he was received by the grand marshal Duroc. A vast concourse of people had assem bled, as spectators of this ceremony. I he road from Charlottenberg to Ber lin is very good, and the entry through the gate is superb. It was a most beau tiful day. The whole of the civil ad ministration, presented by general Hulin came to oiler the keys to the emperor. 1 he body immediately waited upon his majesty. The general prince Hatz feidt, was at their head. On the 28th, at nine in the forenoon, the envoys ol Bavaria, Spain, Portugal, and die Ottoman Porte, resident at Ber lin, were admitted to an audience of his majesty. His majesty ordered the 1 urkish envoy to send a courier to Con stantinople to inform his court of what had taken place, and to declare that now the Russians should not enter Mol davia, nor mule itake any thing against the Turkish Empire. Afterwards his majesty received the whole of the Lutheran and Reformed consistories.— There were upwards of twelve thousand Frenchat Berlin,whose predecessors took re luge there in con-’ sequence of the revocation of the Edict ol Nantz. llis majesty conversed with 1 the principal persons among these pro testatits, and told them that they had a just claim u|)on his protection, and that their privileges and the exercise of their worship would be restored to them. His majesty advised them to concern them selves with their own affaire, to remain peaceable, and pay obeilience and res- i pect to the sovereign. Ihe Courts of Justice were present oil. His majesty conversed with the members of the courts of appeal, and gave them some instructions as to the manner in which justice should be ad ministered. Count Van Neale coming into the hall ot audience, the Emperor said to him, “ Well, sir,your ladies wished for war, and they have been gratified ; it becomes you to manage your household better.” (Letters had been intercepted from the count’s daughter.) “ Napo leon ‘ v reading these letters) will conti nue the war, let others carry on the war against him.” His majesty said to count Van Neale, “ No ; 1 will cam on no war. Not that I doubt of mv | prowess, as you suggested ; but in order . to spare the blood ol* my subjects, which is dear to me; and because it is pres jeribedtome by my first duty, only to ; shed the same tor their honor and safe-1 ty. But the good people of Berlin have I •been the sacrifice of the war; while i those who excited it have left them and! are become fugitives. I 6hall reduce these nobie courtiers to such extremi ties, that tftey shall be compelled to beg their bread.” The emperor ordered that twenty-four of the Itest “Burghers should be assem bled at the town house, in order to se lect a third of their number to take upon them the civil government of the place Each of the 20 wards is to iurnish a guard of 6!} nvea ; so. that 1200 -of the, best Burgers win be entrusted with the care of live city and the management of the police. ‘1 he emperor said to prince Hatzfelpt, “Do not appear in my presence ; 1 have no nctu of your services; retire to your estates.” The emperor gave audience to the chancellor and Ministers of the kmg of; Prussia. in giving instrucUons to the civil ad ; ministration of the city, theVmperor said,! “ f will not suffer any windows to be j broken. My brother, the king of Prus sia, ceased to be king from the day when Prince Louis Ferdinand was bold enough to break the windows of his majesty's ministers. His majesty would have or dered him to hanged.” 1 his day the 28th, his majesty mount ed his horse to review marshal Devoust’s corps. o-morrow that under marshal Augereau will pass in review before him. 1 he Grand Duke of Berg, marshal Lannes, and the Prince of Ponte Corvcj are pursuing Prince Hohcnlohe. After ‘the gallant affair with the cavalry at Zehdenick, the Grand Duke of Burp advanced to Tompiin, where he found a great quantity of provisions, anil the dinners lor the Prussian generals and j their troops ready dressed. At Grantee; Prince Hohenlohe chung-1 ed his route, and took the road to Furs- j temberg. It is probable that, being xut [ off from the Oder, he will be surreund ■ed and made prisoner. The Duke of Weimar is in a similar! situation with respect to marshal Soult. i The Duke seemed to wish to cross the ! Elbe at T&ngermunde, in order to ap proach the Oder. On the 26th, marshal; Soult anticipated him. It vve come up with him not a man will escape ; if he suc ceeds in crossing the Oder, he wiil tali into the hands of the Grand Duke of Berg, marshal Lannes, and the Prince of Ponte Corvo. A part of out troops are upon the Oder. The’king of Prus sia has passed the Vistula. Count Zastrow was presented to the Emperor on the 27th at Chadottenburg, and delivered a letter from the king of Prussia. At this moment an aid-de-camp from Prince Eugene has announced a victory obtained over the Russians in Albania. LONDON, November 22. Thursday, Colonel Christopher Hely Hutchinson, the brother of Lord Hutch inson, colonel Sir Robert Wilson, colo nel Euston, and colonel Hervey, aides de-camp to general Lord Hutchinson, left town for Yarmouth. The general himself left town yesterday morning, at seven o’clock, for the same place, where the Astrea frigate is in waiting, to con vey his lordship to the most convenient port in the Baltic. The Marquis of Douglas received in structions from Lord Howick, on Tues day, to hold himself in readiness to set off on his embassy to Russia in a few days. On Tuesday “Lord Hovvlck sent Lord Hutchinson his dispatches, in a box sea ted with his Lordship’s official seal, which he was enjoined not to open till lie had left Britain. It is calculated that not less than three millions of foreign property have been vested in our funds within the last ten days. * The Duke of Brunswick is now at Altona, waiting a sufficient recovery of iiis health to enable him to embark for Britain ; we are sorry to add, that his highness has totally lost his sight. I he Channel fleet has been forced to quit its station off Brest ; and, when the post was departing from Torbay, was seen coming into that port. GLASGOW, November 25. From our Corresfioudmt at LloucFs. London, November 22, 1806. Still without any of the mails from Hamburgh, and nothing arrived from the Continent. Lord Hutchinson is gone, and it is whispered that lie is, (if the thing is worth doing) to make an of fer to enter into a subsidiary treaty with Prussia, Russia and Austria. The last power, it is asserted, is certainly friendly to the interests of the two former. The stocks to-day are rather better; the Omnium has been done at 51. pre mium for the account, and 41. for mo ney ; the consols at 61 7-8. [taken from the museum.] LUBEC, November 9. The 6th of this month was the most i dreadful duy in the annals of Lubec j the Prussian Genera] Natzmer beihg in! our town with 4000 men, the French under the orders of Bemadotto attacked the Prussians at 9 o’clock in the morn ing out of the towu; both sides fought: with the greatest bravery and obstina cy ; towards noon the French appeared before the town with very superior for-! ces ; they were received at the gates with cannon charged with laugrage (mitraille) but it did not stop them, they were repulsed at several of the gates, but they succeeded in forcing that of Dcm, Burgthor v then began in t o town the most dreadful Combat: the Prussians had a good deal of Artillery, which did much injury to the French, but nothing could withstand the bravery or supciior- I ity of the French, whose infantry enter- I cd the town, followed the Prussians into ail the “houses, churches, and public buil dings, wheie a terrible carnage was made—the slaughter lasted upwards of three hours, during which the number of killed and wounded accumulated, both in the houses, and particularly at the Burgethor, to a frightful height. HAMBURGH, November 13. It is but too certain, that the whole , Prussian array totally rur.cd and that dispersed ;.one corps after another h. s been dbiige.d to lay clown its arms, and | all the principal towns, viz. btettin, Cus trin, Spanduu, and Magaeburgh have capitulated ; in the latter the French , found an immence treasure, as all the j most valuable effects from Munster, Cassel, and East Friesland had been de posited there as out of danger ; it is re~ j ally astonishing how ill provided with 1 even the most common necessaries those 1 places were, but for which they would * never have fallen into the hands of the French, and particularly Magdeburgh one of the strongest places in Europe ; as to the king ot Prussia nobody knows where he is at present. The army of Marshal Davoust is already arrived at Posen, it consists of 30,000 men. Nothing but accident prevented gen. Blucher iroei coming to Hamburgh, in which case we should have shared the same fate as Lubec, which has suffered dreadfully. A deputation, has been sent from that town to claim the protection of the French Emperor, and one wiil al so he sent from hence. The Duchy ol Oldenburg has been taken possession of in the name of the king ol Holland by 1400 Dutch troops. Hesse has ben obliged to join the con federation of the Rhine, and must con sequently act against Prussia. November 14. The day before yesterday, the body of his most serene Highness the Duke of Brunswick was opened and embalmed at Alton |; on opening the skull it was found that the wound which the lamen ted prince received was mortal. His Highness bore the exquisite torture oc casioned by the wound, with the utmost fortitude and resignation, but when he learnt the loss of ins dominions his heart began to break. His son the Duke of Biuswick Gels, who capitulated with General Blucher, and who so heroically defended the gate of Lubeck, arrived at his lather's house the day after his death. His HighnesS’s horses Were yesterday sold by public action ; his jewells and other effects will be sold to-morrow. An Estate tte has been sent to Napoleon atßeriin, request ing thatjt-he Duke’s venerable remains may be deposited in the fa niiy vault. of his ancestors. This city is now no longer alarmed by the fear of a visit from the Ft ench. The gates are notwithstanding constantly guarded, and the poor dispersed Prus sian soldiers are daily picked up by hun dreds. Many of them are so famished and exhausted, that they can scarce be conveyed along. Tliev are conducted under an escort of the military garrison to the road to Berlin. Since the capitu lation of general Blucher, the French armies have for the most part left Lu beck for Prussia. Marshall Bemadotte remained there with about 1500 men. l'hc Prussians and Swedes taken prison ers will be sent via Hanover, to France. The French flying parties of cavalry have committed great excesses in diffe rent parts of the dependencies of this city, but owing to the zealous and active exertions of the French minister Bou rienne, these excesses have been stop ped. The most positive assurances have been given by Prince Murat and Ponte Corvo, that the French army will res pect our neutrality. The course of posts with Frankfort, Westphalia, Han over, Holland, and the conquered Prus sian provinces, also remains free,as well as the naviginent of the Elbe to Mag deburgh and Berlin. All the ships la ding here for those places have receiv ed passes from Gen. Hulin, the French commandant at Berlin. Immediately after his capitulation general Blucher arrived here- from Lubeck. The inha bitants of that place curse him as the author of their misery. Had he only a start of six hours before the French, he would have thrown himself into Ham burgh, which might have been the ruin oftliis place. In Lubeck the misery and famine ex ceed all the powers of description. The Senate, at the request of that of Lubeck, has sent flour, baked bread, cattle, and meat, thither. After the defeat of the Prussians, the French plundered Lu beck for near six hours. The lower classes of people have almost lost their all, and the excesses committed by the French soldiery are shocking. InLau enburgh, Ratzeburgh, Weimar, Meck linbuvgh, Schwerin, See. similar scenes of rapine and murder have also been committed by them. General Blucher is still here ; and general Drouat and Frere lodged in the same inn with him—but out of particu- J lar respect for him, they would not dine at the same table. After the capitula tion, Bemadotte embraced him ; and ail the French generals and officers could ! not sufficiently express their admiration I of his valor. His most F ;rene Highness the Duke j of Brunswick is arrived at Ottenson, in the Louse occupied by the Duke, his late father, whose body has been open ed and embalmed. It will, it is said, be removed to the family lurrying vault, as | soon as the consent of the French is ob tained. The young Duke most gal lantly defended the gates at Lubeck ; and the French would not have penetra ! ted into the place so soon, if the artillery had obeyed the orders of his Highness 1 and general Blucher. General Frere first penetrated through the Burgh gate ; his adjutant was killed by his side, and his horse shot. In the operations against and Lubeck and its environs, the Trench I by mistake, forced the D.jiish cordon of neutrality, and an engagement ensued between them and the Danes, in which several men were killed and wounded on each side. A Danish civil officer was also murdered by a Frenchman, upon v.hich tha. Fri.-.ff Jkeumrfc sent an acjiuan. to Frir.ce Murat, at Lu beck, why cleared up the mistake, and promised that the neutrality of Lubeck should for the future be racst scrupu lously re.-,peeled. - At Lubeck French soldiers are shot ddiiy for the excesses which they have committed. Beilin letters, of the 11th instant, an nounce the surrender of Magdeburgh, by capitulation, on the Bth inst. The inhabitm its finding tha’. tire French bom bardment would ray the whole city in ashes, rose upon the commandant, and compelled hi rn by menaces to give up the place to the French. Private advices from Berlin talk of an unlimited armistice between Prussia and France. It is said to have been conclu-. ded between Marshal Duroc, and gene ral Zastrow: but it has not yet teen of ficially promulgated. The negoeLtions are •carried on very briskly between Lucchesini and Zastrow, on the part of Prussia, and Durcconthe part of France*’ m Charlottenburgh. Bonaparte still re maincti at Berlin, where he waited for the Grand Duke of Berg’s return fre ni Lubeck, previous to his proceeding to Poland. Terms of peace have been of fered to the king, .but he is said to wish for. the modification, and sent on this ac count a major to Berlin. His Prussian majesty is now said to be at Koening berg, where the last regiments remain-• ing to him have been collected in Old anu New East Prussia, consisting of 3S battalions and 45 squadrons.—Some es timate the remainder of his troops still at 50,000 men. The prince of Mecklenburgh, brother to the queen of Prussia, has been taken prisoner by the French general Savary, at Streiitz. The Mecklenburgh Pro vinces, as well as the two Pomcranias*’ have been terribly plundered by the ra pacious French. With Russia all communication hr now cut off, nor have we any account of the movement of the Russian armies. By a PeLersburgh Gazette of the Bth ult. the Emperor Alexander, by an uk ase of the 18th September, old style, h & ordered 4 men out of every 500 to be> levied as recruits all over the Empire, which ratingthe population at 30.000,000 will produce 250,000 men. This levy is to be terminated by the Ist of January 1807. His regular army is near 600,003 men strong, without reckoning the late ly raised new regiments. Advices from Berlin of the 11th, ar. tually announce the entry of the French army into Poland. This event happen ed cn the sth inst. when Marshal Da voust, with 30,000 men, occupied Poe nania and its environs. He intends to march immediately against Warsaw, from tiie neighborhood of which Louts XVIII. has retired to Courland. This province and Livonia are said to be re served by Napoleon for Frederick Wil liam, who is to lose the electorate of Brandenburgh, Hanover, Bareuth, West phalia and all other German possessions j- The completed Prussian countries ir Germany are divided into four depart ments, viz. those of Berlin, Custrin, Stet tin, and Magdcburgh, of which general Clarke is governor general.—The Min isters and civil magistrates of Berlin, have taken the oath of fidelity to Napo leon. General Savary took two regi ments of Prussian cavalry prisoners on his entering Weimar. The estate of Temolchof, belonging to Count Har-‘ denberg, near Berlin has been complete ly ravaged by the French. Field Mar shal Mollendorff is at Berlin, and in great favor with Napoleon. The arms in the arsenal of Berlin are sent to Po land to arm the inhabitants.—General Dombrosky is to organize them. The parole published at Berlin on thy 9th, makes the Prussians under Blucher, &C. taken by the French in and near Lubeck, amount to 16,000 infantry and 4,000 cavalry; but Blucher’s bulletin corrects this extravagant statement. From. Ike Hamburgh vtmber 15. It appears by a letter from the Inn of the 3d instant, that the fortifications of Brannau are strengthened and irw.reusecl by the French with the utmost ‘'activity. The cordon pursued by the Bavarian troops is also considerably reinforced * The head quarters of die Commanding General are at Old OetUng. A squad ron of Austrian hussars has taken post at Tittmaning in the Bishopric of Salz burg. Letters from Saxony of the 7th inst. state that the important fortress ot Koc nigstcin is to be occupied by French 6c Batavian troops, and'that the Elector of Saxony has acceded to the Rhinish Con federation. Magdeburgh capitulated on the Bth inst. The capitulation was concluded between Marshal Nye Sc Lieutenent-general Kle ist. The garrison is said to have consist ed of 20.000 men. On the 12th inst. the head quarters of Marshal Bernadotte were at Lubeck. On the same day General Berthier gave notice, that ail Russian 8c Swedish ships lying there, might take their departure unmolested. One English ship only was. at Lubeck, when it was taken by assault; the Captain and three seamen of which were killed. Onthe 10th inst. the French took pos session of Hanover, under die command of Marshal Moitier. The fortress of Hameln in the Elec torate of Hanover capitulated on the 11th instant. It surrendered to the King of Holland, who commanded die siege. On the 12th instant, the Dutchy of Oldenburgh whs taken-possession ol Lor the King of Holland, by Batavian troop.-, who marched thither from Last Fiies land.
