From French papers to the 1 Oth January, via Charleston. 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
