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 lalt breath”—The effort he made to utter, these words, ex hanlled the little flrength he had remaining. All the reports we receive, agree in liaung, that the ene my 101 l at the battle of Evlati, 20 Generals and 2000 men killed and wounded, and up’ wards of 8,000 men disabled: At the engagement of 0110---lenka, ---lenka, of the 16th, two Ruf fian generals Were killed, and three wounded.

At the battle of Eylau, Marshal Ahgereau overrun with rheumatic pains, was tick and hardly in his fen fes ; but the cannon awakes the brave; he flew in full gallop to the head of his cprps, after getting him-fell tied upon his horse. He was-cond'antly ex poled to the greatcli fire, and was even slightly wounded. — j i he Empetor has just author- j ifid him to return to France 1 for the purpose of taking care of his health. The garrison of Zelber and Dantzick, availing themselves ■ of the little attention paid to them, had encouraged thetn fclves by different exertions. An advanced poll of the 1 1 a- I lian division was attacked, on j the 16th at Stargard, by a par- j ty of 800 men of the garrison j of Coiberg. General Benfa- ; t.i had with him only a few ‘ companies of the full Italian ; regiment of the lie-, which j took to their arms in time, : pi arched with refoliption a- j gairiit tlie enemy, and routed him.

For some days there has been much talk about an armistice be tween the belligerent powers; but we have not learnt the authority for this report. Scheidham, March 20. 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. The lather of prince Ypsilanti, has been strangled in this prison- Translated for the Times, From Amsterdam Papers, of March 24 1 h. 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.
