wrecks of their defeat. Tell
the Emperor, that I have but
one regret, which is, that in a
few moments I Ural! be no
longer able to do any thing for
his service, and the glory of
our fine France. To her mv

The Brinish minister residing
at Vienna,, received intelligence
on the Ist hist, that the Porte
had declared war against the
English, Admiral Louis having
threatened to destroy Constanti’
nople, in case the Porte did not
consent to renew his treaties with
Russia and England,and send off
instantly the French minister Sc
his suit. After a council of
state had been held, it was resol
ved to seize on the papers of the
English ambassador, and of all
English subjects. Mr. Arbuth
nor, however, aware of the ap
proaching storm, had previously
made his escape to the English
frigate which had brought the
summons.

BERLIN, March 10.
Letter 1 have been received
from th ,* head -quarters at Oste
rode, dated the 4th instant but
which contain nothing new.
It is said that the citadel of
Silbe: berg, in Silesia, has offered
to capitulate;
A/arch 12.
Letters received from Oste
rode, under date of tire 6>.h of
March, and published in this
clay’s 1 elegraph, mention—that
in consequence of the Russians
having advanced to the Passarge
his Majesty the Emperor and
King, had ordered some troops
to cross that rivet in order to
drive the enemy hack—they have
in consequence withdrawn with
great precipitation, apprehen
sive that the French would reach
IConingsberg before them. Want
of provisions, and bad roads, are
circumstances unfavorable to the
Flench army.
The operation of his Majesty’s
arms, being at a great distance
from Warsaw, it has been order
ed, that the diplomatic body
should be removed from thence
to Berlin. It is even supposed
that his imperial Majesty will go
thither, as soon as the army shall
have leiustated themselves in
tlv-ir winter quarteis.
From Grau, near Pest, it is
mentioned that a Russian squad
ron having endeavoured to cross
the Danau, they were thwarted
in the attempt, and beaten by the
I’m ks. The unanimity and e
nergy which these latter display
seem to have surprised t'ne Rus
sian Cabinet, and would lead to
think they have chosen an unfa
vorable moment fur the exten
sion oi their rapacious views !
March 14.
Independently of the engage
ments which have taken place
between the respective grand
armies, from the 13th to the 23d
February, some others Have been
fought by the Polish and Baden
troops, in which they have gained
much glory, ihe fust of these
took place on the 18th, at Star,
gat dt. A body of Pules and Ba
dens being on their march to
Dantzick, were surprised during
the night, by the enemy—their
number unknown- A severe con
flict ensued, which lasted two
hours—at last they were fore yd
to give way ot betook themselves
to it wood, where they could not
be pursued. 1 heir loss consist
ed of about 100 pi isoners, beddes
several slain. It is supposed
theii burce was about 800 infan
try, and 600 cavalry.
On the 2lst a battalion of Ba~
e'ens, posted near Statgardi,
whose picket guards extended to
a bridge on the load to Lciehau,
were e (Tailed by a corps of
Fruflians. They were how
ever soon made to repent their
enterprize ; a fivv were bain,
but the remainder got oft un
der the proteflion of the ca’
valry ; retiring, as they had
approached, in fledges.
On the 23d a severe Vngage
i ment took pbee at Derchau,
i which town was attacked by tbe
j united force of the Polidi and Ba
den troops- —the: conflict was
bloodv ; vet notwithstanding the
rallant defence of the enemy,
j the place was taken possession
j of. The Prussian commander,
whose force consisted of 1500
j met), and 4 pieces of cannon, had
j collected all his advanced posts
j iti the town, a great proportion
j of whom were entrenched in the
i church and burial ground—be i
j defended himself most courage- 1
1 ouslv, in hopes of receiving some j
j assistance ; in this he was not mis
i taken—the brfik and well dtrect-
I ed fire of the artillery, was an- ;
j severed bv him with equal firm- j
j ness—at last, the burning of the ‘
| suburbs, occasioned by the how
itzers, &c. opened a chance to
the Polish and Baden troops, tcJ
rush into the town when they sur
rounded the Prussians, and made
300 of them prisoners, among
whom were II officers; the re
mainder escaped having betaken
themselves to flight. The Baden
troops signalized themselves t
this affiir.
Whiill this event took place,
another body of Baden and
Polilh troops, had a rencoun
ter with a corps of Prussians,
1 on their march to the relief of
the town ; its force con tilled of
2000 infantry and two squad
rons of cavalry ; their defence
was obflinate, as long as ihe
town held out ; but no sooner
was it taken, than diforderaud
confufion seized them; more
than 800 were either taken,
wounded, or killed—the re
mainder took the road to
Dantzick.
These various engagements
were conducted by Generals
Menard and Dombrowfky ;
the Polish and Baden troops
which they command, have ac
quired great glory ; particular
ly so when it is considered they
are neatly ail new levies and
had to fight the hell Prufiian
troops, which were encamped
near and at Dantzick, for its
defence
hrom Oflerode thev write,
under date of the 7th of March
that nothing material had talc
en place between the respec
tive grand armies.
