WARSAW, Dec. 15.
His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon,
is expected here to-morrow, or the day
after. All the divisions of the Grand
Army have now reached the right bank
of the Vistula, and have crossed that
river in small boats, notwithstanding
the quantity of floating ice it was cover
ed with. The audacity with which the
French soldiers brave every obstacle, is
what peculiarly characterizes them.
—Neither snow nor fortresses are
capable of stopping them. The
Poles who serve, both in the Rus
sian army and in that of the King of
Prussia, desert in crowds, and come to
range themselves under the standards
of the confederation. The Empefor
will soon have upwaads of 50,000 Poles
in arms at his disposal. An enthusi
asm not easy to be imagined, prevails
throughout all classes of this people.
It may already be said, that Poland has
broken her chains. The Polish cha
racter is vefy agreeable to Frenchmen,
who find in it a great resemblance to
their own. Besides, almost all the
Poles, who have a little education, speak
French, which gives several facilities
for mutual relations an<f all the commu
nications of the army.
VIENNA, Dec. 20.
Some pflbns here assert, that counts
Rasumowißmd Finkenstein, the Rus
sian and Prussian ambassadors here,
have delivered, in conjunction, to our
Ministry, a note, in which they state,
that the Emperor of the French appear
ing to be desirous of re-establishing the
Kingdom of Poland, it is the interest of
Austria to make a common cause with
Russia and Prussia, and, in consequence,
to join her forces to those of the twopow
wers ; but the answer which has been
given them, far from proving satisfacto
ry, contains the most positive dealarati
on, that Austria will remain neuter
througout the present war.
STRALSUND, December 22.
Our Court has just received intelli
gence from the army, by an extraordi
nary courier, who has arrived from the
Imperial Head-quarters; and by ano
ther courier dispatched by General
Von Seckendorff, commander in chief
of the Wurtemberg troops. The lat
ter, after the taking of Glogau, joihed
the Bavarians. These two corps form
ed the army commanded by H. I. H.
Prince Jerome, which arrived on the
Bth before Breslau, and began the siege
of that place on the 9th. The Prussi
an commandant refused to surrender,
and in order to be the better enabled to
observe the movements of the beseig
ers, caused the suburbs of Breslau to be
set on fire. During the conflagration,
Prince Jerome ordered several Wur
temburg corps to take possession of
these suburbs, which were immediate
ly carried by force, and the troops even
succeeded in extinguishipg the flames,
and saving a part of the houses. On
the courier’s departure, the bombard
ment of Breslau had begun, and hopes
were entertained that that town would
shortly surrender.
The news which our government has
just published, confirms what has been
already said, that the Russians contin
ue their retreat, and by carrying off eve
ry thiqg on their road, appear to wish to
form a desert between the French and
themselves.
The Prussian corps of Gen. Estory
has been defeated by Marshal Ney’& ar
my. The Russian army of Tolstoy,
consisting of about 30,000 men, has ef
fected a junction near Koenigsberg, with
the remainder of the Prussian army,
commanded by General Count Von
Kalkreuth. ,
PARIS, January 1.
Ih execution of the Imperial Decree
Which repels from our ports every ship
coming directly from England or her
colonies, and to prevent ships from
making use of the pretext of having
been forced into England or her posses
sions by stress of weather, the captains
of foreign ships are ftoiden, at their ar
rival in any French port, to declare the
place whence they were dispatched, the
onfe whence they come, and the ports
into which they may have juit; to give
a summary information of their cargo,
and to affirm that they come neither di
rectly from England nor from her Co
lonies. If the declaration announces
that the ship put into England, she
shall be forced to put back; in the con
trary case the declaration Shall be sent
by the Commandant of the port, to the
superior administrator of the marine,
who shall concert with the superior di
rectors of the custom-homes, to verify
the sincerity of it. If the declaration
is found not to be exact, the vessel shall
■ be seized with her cargo. The captain
of any foreign vessel who should refuse
to sign his declaration, shall be holdcn
to sail out of port, and to have no com
munication whatever with the land.
A courier who passed through Mer
lin, has announced that the French had
already began to bombard Dantzick..
This town is well known to be one of
the richest and most considerable in tliij
north of Europe. It has only belonged
to Prussia, since the year 1793. The
father ol Frederick William now reign
ing, took forcible possession of and unit
ed it to his States ; until then it had re
mained under the protection of Poland.
It is from the port of Dantzick that
most of the corn of Poland is exported
by the Baltic, in brder to stock the mar
kets of those European states, the pro
duce of which does not suffice to afford
subsistence for its inhabitants.
Letters from Mentz mention that a
courier from Berlin had givers intelii
jgence in that town, that H. M. the Em
peror of the French had made his so
lemn entry into Warsaw, where he was
received with the greatest enthusiasm-
The head-quarters of the grand army
being thus established in the capital of
Poland ; there is reason to believe that
military events will shortly rfcstime a
great activity.
The Bankers of the American Gov
ernment at Amsterdam, have made
known to the public, that on the Ist of
January inst. they will pay the interest
due on the loans made in Holland, by
the United States.
FORTY-FOURTH BULLETIN OF
THE GRAND ARMY.
Warsaw, 21st Dec. 1806.
The Emperor inspected yesterday
the vfrorks of Praga. Eight fine re
doubts, palisaded and fraised. inclose
an extent of 1500 toises; and three bas
tiohed inclosures, 600 toises in surface,
form the ground of an intrenched camp.
The Vistula is one of the largest riv
ers existing- The Bug which is com
paratively much smaller, is, however
broader than the Seine. The bridge
upon the latter river is entirely finish
ed. General Gauthier, with the 25th
and 58th regiments of infantry, occu
pies the tete de fiont , which Gcii.Chas
seloupe has fortified with intelligence ;
so that this tete de fiont , which is only
400 toises in extent, is supported by
morasses and by t the river, surrounds
an entrenched camp, capable of con
taining, tipon the right bank, a whole
army secured from the attack of the
enemy. A brigade of light horse of
the Reserve has daily skirmishes with
the Russian cavalry.
The 18th, Marshal Davoust, to ren
der his camp upon the right bank bet
ter ; felt the necessity of taking posses
sion of a seiall island situated at the
mouth of the Warka. The enemy re
cognized the importance of this post.
A brisk fire of musketry
but victory and the island remamed to
the French. Our loss amounted to a
few men wounded. The Officer of en
gineers,Clonet,a most promising young
man, received a ball in the breat. On
the 19th, a regiment of cossacks, sup
ported by some Russian hussars, tried
to carry the main-guard of.the brigade
of light horse, placed in front of the
tete de fiont , across the Bug ; but the
main-gua”d had placed itself in such a
manner, as to be secure from surprise.
The Ist of hussars sounded, on horse
back. The Colonel rushed at the head
of a squadron, and the 13th advanced
