They continue their retreat in extreme dim, der. The cantvn, waggons, cailrons, and bag gage, which they abaidon on the toads, are the only obffaclei which they feem anxious to nppofe to us. My advanced guard, which has been confiderably reinforced by the Coffacks of the Don, harafs them incefrantly, and always with confiderable fuccefs. Accrrding to the moll accurate reports, we have taken prifoners, fince the battle of E-ylatt, 43 Officers, 70 fobalterns, and 3205 foldiers, not including 300 others, who have died of their wounds. The rein forcements which I weft from Ruflia are already on their march; and their early arrival will enable me to follow, with as much precifion as confidence, the plan of operations which I have laid down.— The garrifon of Dantzick has made another fortie Agiinil the Polifh infurgents, and has completely beaten ttem near Dirfchau." FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, MARC' - ! 27. SIXTY-SIXTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY. " Oftcrode, March t 4. 4' The Grand Army remains in its cantonments, where it takes repofe. Frequent fkirmifhes have taken place between the advanced polls of the two armies. 44 Two regiments of Ruffian cavalry came on the a zth inflant, to harafs the 69th regiment of infantry, of the line, in its cantonments at Lingnau, before Guttiladt: a battalion of this regiment took up arm , , and from an ambufh attacked and repuifed the ene, my, who left 8o men on the field. General GUYOT, who commands the advanced polls of Marfhal So ti LT, has on his fide had feveral affairs of out polls with the enemy, in which he has had the advantage. 46 After the little battle of Wittenberg, the Grand Duke of BERG expelled the Coffacks from the whole of the right bank of the Alle. In order to affure him. felf that the enemy were not making fome movement, he went to Wa•temberg, Sudberg, Neufgath, and Birchofsburg. He had fome engagements uith the Enemy's Cavalry, and took a hundred Cofficks prifoners. The Ruffian army appears to be concen trated on the fide of Bartenflein, on the Alle. The Pruffian divilion is on the fide of Crentzhourg. 44 The enemy's army made a retrograde move ment, and have approached near to Koningfberg. 44 The whole of the French army is in canton meats, it is provifioned by the towns of Elbing, Brat:nil:011-g, and from the refonrces drawn from the Mind of Nogat, which is extremely fertile. 44 Two bridges have been eldled over the Viflula, mane at Marienwerder, the other at Murienberg.

" Eight days rfter the expedition of there orders f. e . ;he 23d of °Clothes., we received your relations of the 6 I Sth of the fame month, by which you ftate the re-inflatemcut of the Princes Mo rouzi and YLfilanti, confining yourfelf to this ft-utile information, without entering into the leaft detail on any thing which might enlighten the Imperial Mini ftry, conc. tning eircumftances of this nature. Whatever might have been the dcfire of the Emperor, our Auguft Matter, to revoke, from this time, the orders given to General Michelfon, his Imperial Majcfty h..s thought it to be his duty to wait the further eclairciffements Rated in your Report of the 6 .t Bth of Odlober, in order to obtain a more pofitive and detail ed data concerning fubjedts of fo important a nature, and to be ena bled to take meafures in confequence. On there refults, we re ctived your different difpatches of the 11-23 d of Odober. I do not conceal from you, Sir, that by their contents his Imperial Ma jetty has not obferved, without grief and furprife, that in fuch a crifis you timid have conceived it your duty to confine yourfelf to the mere cc inßatensent of the Princes. " Whatever be the interest that, under fo many confiderations, the Emperor has been forced to take in maintaining. with regard to the Porte, this part of his rights, you cannot, however, Sir, be ignorant, that they are not the wily ones which his Majefty is well entitled to claim; and that befides the principal end the Imperial Court has in view, being to afeertaiti, in a politive manner, the dif nations of the Porte,this tingle and naked demonft ration carried into effedt with fo bad a grace, cannot fuffice to afford us in this retptel that guarantee which we hold to be indifpenfable, Who can anfwer to us, in fast, that thi; partial fatisfadtion has not been given to us by the Porte, in consequence of advice even of our common encodes? The Jiff, rent conferences which the Arnhaffa • dor Sebaftiani bad with Ibrahim Ki.iya, and the other Minifters of the Porte, in the cootie of this negotiation, plead but too much in favour of this fuppofition. " Let us fuppofe, for a moment, that the difinifial of the Iforpo dars had been the only grievance which we had to chat ge the Porte with : how, even in this cafe, could we rely with certainty upon the ftridt and full execution of thc reparation which the Im perial Court has just obtained, after the more than equivocal tcr giverfation of Prince Morouli, and in the fad hate wkich Walla chia Is reduced to, the fineft part of which is invaded by the troops of Paffwan Oglou, without the Porte appearing to have either the intention or the receffary means to reprefs there diforders ?--- Were it then only under the latter confickration, his Majefty can not be (*addled with the fatisfadtion given, before he be allured that it will have its full effed : and it is for this purpofe that the pretence of the Ruffian troops mull efficacioufly contribute to reftore to the two Principalities, particularly Wallachia, that itate of calmnefs and fecurity which the Imperial Court has guaranteed to them by the molt foiemn tranfadtions. You very well com prehend, that it is not the perfons of the Hotpotlars Moroni' and Ypfilanti, that effentially intereft the Imperial Court, but the tranquillity and welfare of the two Principalities intrusted to their adminiitration. It is thence that enfues the obligation which Ruf fia is under, of fupporting an order of things which was only etta blithest by her intervention, and under her aufpices ; and file can no longer tolerate thc vexatious with which paffwati Oglou and other Ayans, approximate to Wallachia, overwhelm that unfortu nate province, without effentially der. gatiog from what the owes to herfelf. " Independent of thefe confiderations which relate exclufively to the two Principalitica, there are others which would not allow his Imperial Majefty to look upon the fatistadlion which he has juft obtained, as a fufficient pledge of the tlncerity of the Porte, in her ratan to the principles which have occafioned our remonftrances. Not to repeat again the new grievances fet forth in my difpatch of the s6th Augult, I mall confine myfelf to recapitulating the princi pal ones, without the redrefs of which his Imperial Majefty will never think he can rely upon the friendly difpofitions of the Porte towards him with a fccurity which the fafety of his States requires combined with the prefent fituation of general affairs. " The pretenfion of attempting to hinder the paffage of his Ma jetty's (hips of war and tranfports through the Canal of Conftanti nople, and the reiterated difficulties which the Porte has thought proper to mailifeft upon recent octafions,but too evidently demon ftrate the blind fubtniffion of the Turkiffi Government to the will of France, and the incalculable deviations into which thcfe difpofi tions may lead it. liner it no longer refpeds the croft fokmn trea ties. To obtain in this refped a guarantee proportilmite to the importance which we ought to place in the pref, rvation of our right of paffage through the Canal, his Imperial Majefty thinks it his duty to demand a folemn and authentic declaration, by which the Porte than oblige herfill never, and in no cafe in the leaft, to °barna it, under any pretext whatfoev,r. " Another objet to which the Imperial Court muft attach equa ' importance,is the renewal of the Treaty of Alliance between the Porte and Great Britain. The motive whien makes his Imperial Majefty with that this renewal may take place as loon as poffihle, is moreover only a confequence of his difpofitions, conftantly friendly, towards the Sublime Porte, and of the folicitude with which his Majefty endeavours to maintain the independence and integrity of the Ottoman Empire ; fur if, on the one fide, it is evi dent that the Porte would thereby free itfelf for a long time from the defentic influence of the French Government, it is not lefs fo on the other,that in perfifting in her refute] to the 13ritilh Govern ment, (he might at length provoke the refentment of a Power whole great maritime means would not fail to become fatal to her. " 'ro fum up the contents of this ilifpatch, which I have the ho nour to addrefs to you by cep% fs order of our auguft Sovereign, you will obferve that his Imperial Majefty cannot think the rela dons exifting between Ruflia and the Ottoman Empire as replaced upon their :indent bafes, but r. When the rights and prerogatives fecured to the principa lities of Moldavia and Wallachia by the different ftiputitions rela tive thereto (hall be re-eftablifhed in their full force and vigour, and that, namely. the latter of theft provinces (ball be delivered front the rebel. which lay it wafte, by the care of the Porte, or by his Nlejetly's troops, and that at the lame time its trararsillity and future welfare theft he fufficiently guaranteed by the ettablithment of a national force capable of defending the province againft its neiehht ors of the Danebe. " 2. When the Porte (hall have formally renounced the intention of ohltrudting, under :.ny pretence whatever, the paffage of his Majelly's thies of war iznd tranfpo•ts through the Bofphorus. " 3. When the !hall have Lenewed her Treaty of Alliance with Engl. nd. " You arc charged, Sir, to eveke there different demands come to the knowledge of the Grand Signior through the channel which than appear to you aloft proper. and riot to let his Highnefs be ig norant of ail the importance which otlr auguft Sovereign attaches to their brine duly received by him. But you will take care at the fame time to affure Salters Salim, in the molt pofitive manner, thit i• is with great repugnance the Emperor has been under the nee: fay of having recourfe to the military occupation of the two principalities; and that this determination, far from concealing any hnftile intention ageiiift the Ottoman -tares, has no other aim than thufe declared here above. but (till mere particularly the ardent defire of hi• Imperial Majefty to be fo much the more able to b-111.1 the projedts at invafion which the French Government ha. , ever manifoted at the expense of Turkey, and which, in the pre feet corjeudiure, in which Bonsparte will, no doubt, avail himfelf ' of the pretext of the reinftatement of thellorpodars, might foam be on the ere 01 being put in execution. In general, you will omit nothii g to eutivitice the Sultan Salim more and more of the con Raney of the featiments of friendthip and confederation which the Emperor has vowed to him, adding that his Majtity will only wait the aceetli in of the Porte to the juft demands which you are inftrtidted to addrefs to her by the prefect, to give her anew the molt unequivocal poet's of it. From that time his Majefty would teftify the greateft readinefs to arrange the different other points in cotiteft ; the intimate relations which have fo happily ft:Witted for many years paft between St Peterfburgh and Conftantinople will he re-ellablithed upon a more folid bails than ever ; and, af furcd:y, both empires can only gain by it, in every relpedt. " The more to ennfolidate fo happy a flee of things, his Ma jelly will be ready to receive the minifter whom Sultan Schm mall judge proper to fend him, to prove in the eyes of all Europe an eceinntr odation which than complete the willies of his Imperial Nlaiefiy, and the happy refults of which will thencelorth hihfift without it appearing neceffary that the Porte mould accredit here a permanent minifter. ." You will be kind enough, Sir, to acquit yourfelf of the different offices which the prefent dditatch preferibts to you, with the leaft p0R. , 1? delay, and to inform me in like manner of the refult of your !tees, that I may give an wet account of them to his Imperial Makfty. " I have the honour to be. with very diftinguilbed confideration, Sir, your very humb;c and moil obedient fervant, (Signed) " A. DP. BUDISERG " St Peterroorgh, a sth Nov. a 806.' ..• Mr. CHARLFS Ate aurtimnr, the MinUler of Eng land, appeared at a conference which had been af• (wed by the Parte, and made the following decla ration : " That the Sublime Porte not having ceafed to difplay a pro penaty and partiality in behalf of France, had, particularly fince the arrival in that imperial refidence of General SEBASTIANI, the French Ambaffidor, changed her principles and fyftem toward. her Allies. That the Paid Ambattador having,a few days after his arrival, prcfented a Note, which contained certain threats, this Note ought to have been returned, and its author immediately expelled from the Sublime Porte but ear, on the contrary, the Sublime Porte, giving a favourable reception to the fail Note, had fignified to R ur fia, that her Chips of war mutt no longer pats through the Strait of the Black Sea. •' That in the affair of the confirmation of the,WaiwoJes of Wallachia and Moldavia, an affair which took place at the fequel of the preceding one, the Sublime Porte ought, at the very inttant, to have acceded to it; but her tardy content, which was not grant ed until three weeks after the formal demand made by the Ruffian Envoy, was a proof of the fuperior influence acquired by the Court of France. " That, in confequence, the Courts of England and Raffia have fettled and arranged between themfdaes, that the one Ihould con vey troops by land to the Muffulman tortitory, whilft the other fhoulcl fend its fleet by lea to the capital of the Ottoman empire. If the Sublime Porte will immediately proceed to the renewal of her alliance with the laid Courts of England and Ruffia, on the ancil.nt footing, and if fhe will drive the French Ambaffador from the Imperial refidcnce, the war should immediately ceafc :—but filmid it be otherwife, the rupture of friendihip with England is inevitable. " That, in order to execute the plan already agreed on, the Court of England, without reckoning the fquadron of °lips it has at prcfent Rationed before the ifland of Penedos, was to fend front its harbours a complete fleet, which was to effea a junaion with the Ruffian one, in order to enter together the ftrait of the Dardanelles. " That if the Sublime Porte Intended to give a negative anfvrer to the prefent propufal, the Ambafrador would caufe all the Englifh merchants who were in the Ottoman Razes, to return to their country, and be would remain here to renew the fame pro pofal, and again confer on the fame object, when the Paid combin ed naval forces ihould be united in this Imperial refidence." Each of thefe propofals was anfwered in a molt energetic manner, by the REIS EFFENDII—That the French Ambaffador was fo far from having threatened the Sublime Porte, that, fince his arrival, his Govern. ment had been engaged in a war with PrufEa ; be fides which, the great inferiority of the maritime forces of France was fuch, as could not lead to any fufpicion that that power intended, in the flighteft degree, to injure the Porte ; that it was of her own accord, and with judicial proofs in hand of the crimes of the two Hofpodars, that the Sublime Porte had determined to depofe them; that the French Ambaf faclor had only learnt the depofition of thefe Princes, at the fame time as the other inhabitants at Conftan tinople ; that the Englifh Minifler had difpenfed with reminding him, that having made known, whilft thefe proceedings were going on, the intereft which the powerful King of Great Britain took with re. Bard to the two Hofpodars, the Porte had thrunk from the propofal of being, at the fame time, at war with Ruffia and England; that in confequence, Sul tan Selim, and all his Minifters, putting up with the greateft affront which could be offered to an inde pendent power, re-eltablithed the Hofpodars, who but a few days fince they had declared rebels ; that thus Sultan Selim, by a fliblime effort, had placed himfelf above the feelings which hav e the molt i n . fluence over men, in order to purchafe the peace and happinefs of his fubjeBs at the price of the molt pain. ful facrifices for his heart ; that he had received the Hofpodars in his Palace, and given anew the invef titure of Wallachia and Moldavia to Princes jultly recognized as criminals ; that inllead of the peace and tranquillity he had hoped for, lie had obtained only war ; that his provinces had been invaded, and that, in molt infulting manifefloes, the Ruf fian Generals had taken the liberty to ftate as mo tives for war, their critical obfervations on the ad miniftration of his people ; that thus attacked by Ruflla, he had been forced to repel arms by arms, but that he had then flattered himfelf that a generous Prince, that a nation fo enlightened as Great Britain would appreciate thefe facrifices ; that after having teftified to the Sublime Porte its fatisfaEtion at the re-eflablithment of the Hofpodars ; that, before two months were elapfed, the Minitter of the fame Power would not have declared that this compliance had been too tardy ; that thus the Minifter of England had manifefted, in a thlrt time, different opiniems and oppolite intentions ; that it is a mere mockery to cite, as a proof of French influence, the facility with which every thing has been done that England wilhed for ; that Sultan Selim cannot but appeal to tke mag nanimity of the Sovereign of Great Britain ; that, conitrained to repel force by force, the Sublime Porte hopes, with the afliflance of the ALMIGHTY, that the (hall triumph over the molt unjull of aggreflions ; and that, if at lergth fhe mull fink, the will run in defending her capital ; and that the Englifh na tion, more than any other, will experience irrepara ble damage from the ditafters of the Ottoman Em pire ; that this Empire exit's by the will of the great and merciful GOD; and that if fuch be the Divine will, from the very defpair to which Sultan Selim has been reduced, will refult the neceffary energy for the defence of the State. It Paid, that feveral times during this fpeech the Reis Effendi could not contain his emotion ; and that it was on going out from this conference, that the Englifh Minine: got on board the Endymion frigate, ordered the cable to be cut, and recommended the EnglA whom he left at Conflantinople, to the care of the Dana Mininer, and even to the intervention of the French Ambairador, well perfuaded, that the latter would be far from imitating the condudt adopt ed by the Englifh at the time of the expedition into Egypt, and would confent to recommend the Mer chants of his nation to the Sublime Porte—a Rep which in fact took place. The refolutions of the Emperor Selim, and hi. po !hien under thefe circumßances, are worthy of atten ti, n. Every great and generous mind puts up vows for the fixed's of his caufe. A Levy of 200,000• men has juft been ordered throughout this Empire. Pafwan Oglou is dead ; and the ervians have con cluded Peace with the Porte. _ CTURCtWO, FEB. ts. The Rnfrians, after having fuddenly entered Mal. davia, which was dellitute of troops, advancc/. Buchareft, before the Porte had any time to affernl•le its forces; but Multapha Bayraear has tent ;oto Wallachia 20,cc0 men, which corps will be followed by (till more numerous troops, and has gained feve ral advantag es over the Ruffians. The enemy, w h o had advanced to within fome leagues of the Danube, has been forced out of his potations, and obliged to fall back upon Buchata. The Grand Ottoman army is affembling upon the Danube, and the GrandVifier will take the command. It is animated with the beft difpofitions, and ardently pants to m e et th e enemy . All the roads are covered with troops on their way to the army, and convoys of ammunition and provi. (ions. This war is to every Muffultnan a war of re ligion, to which they batten with enthufiafm ; and the fuccets already obtained in Wallachia infpires the army with new confidence. BUDA, MARCH r. They write from Widdin that during the courfe of January, the Turks had the advantage in feveral en gagements with the Ruffians. Since the unexpe&ed invalion of the Ruffian troops, they have been oblig. ed to make confiderable detachments to reinforce their army in Pcland, fo that their number had con. fiderably dimiliod previous to thofe engagements._. The Ruffians had not ye , been able to crofs the River Alta. Thole wh3 had appeared upon the Banks of the Danube, having been several times overthrown, concentrated therifelves in the environs of Buchareft. The corps of Giurgewo never ceases to harafs them; after having beat them a few leagues from the town, it compelled them to retreat. Another engagement took place near Limnitza, a village upon the banks of the Danube—the Ruffians were beat with lots, fo that Buchareft is in a manner blockaded, the whole country being occcupied by the Turks.

This document ad mits that the Ruffians harafs them in their quarters. They talk of fpeedily undertaking fomething impor tant, and it is probable that by this time another battle has taken place—but whether fought by the French or by the Ruffians, time mull inform us. It a will be feen by an extra& flem a dilpatch of Genera BENNIGSEN of the 27th February, that he is no way intimidated by the threats of the enemy ; that in fad he holds him cheap and that he was in daily expetia tion of reinforcements.—This document is not copied from a French paper. The French Papers alfo contain, an intercepted Difpatch from the Ruffian Minifier of State to the Ruffian Ambaffador at the Porte. It is very long, but by no means interefling—lt was of cantle written before the rupture between thofe two Powers. The fubflance of it is, that the Court of Pcterfhurgh could not confider the relations between the two countries as re-eftablifhed—ift, until the rights and prerogatives of the prineipalitiiaof Moldavia and Wallachia fhould be re-dtablithed, in the fulldt force and vigour : idly, until the paffage of the Bofphorus fhould be de clared free to the Blips of war and tranfports of bit Ruffian Majefty :—and, laftly, until the Porte fhould renew her alliance with England. A Dutch Captain, who arrived in the River yeffer day, Rates, that when he left Amfterdam on the 27th ult. a report prevailed there, of an anion having taken place on the 18th ult. in which the left wing of the French Army was defeated ! , y the Allies. We men tion this rumour as it reached us, without pretending to vouch its accuracy. Some new creations of Peers are talked to increafe the firength of the New Adminitlration, in the Upper Houfe. The names mentioned are, Sir Hastar MILDMAY, Bart. the Earl of HADDINGTAN, the Earl of DA:.HOUSIE, the Earl of ABERDEEN, the Marquis of HUNTLEY, and the Earl of DALREITH. Others may perhaps follows. It is not yet decided whether Lord ABERDEEN, or Lord HUNTLEY gets the Great Seal of Scotland.
