I , After the battle of Mohringen, in which the Ruffian advanced guard was defeated and compelled to fly, the enemy took poft at Liebtladt. Two days after, however, on the 27th of January, they were joined by feveral Ruffian divifions, and the whole marched together to open the theatre of war upon the Lower Viflula. The corps of General Effen, from the heart of Moldavia, where it was to have been employed againft the Turks, together with fe. veral regiments whichhad marched from the fartheft cat-emits of this great empire, had alfo reached the main body. The Emperor fent orders to the Prince of Ponte Corvo to fall back,. in order to favour the advances of the enemy, and draw him towards the Lower Vittula :—at the fame time his Majefty •iflued orders for the army to break up from winter _quarters. The fifth corps of the army, tu.der Gen. Savary, (Martha' Lannes being lick) was colleeed on the 3111 at Bt ok, to hcld General Effen in check, whole corps was cantoned upon the Upper Bug.— The third corps of the army was at MyfinieL—the fourth at Willenberg—the fixth at Gilgenberg—the feventh at Niedenberg. The Emperor left Warfaw, and arrived at Willenberg on the evening of the soth The Grand Duke had been there two days, and had collected all his cavalry. The Prince of Ponte Cory() hai fucceffively evacuated 0 fterode and Lobar, and had taken poft near Stralburg. Martha! Lefehte had collected the loth corps of the army at Thorn. in order to defend that place, and the left bank of the " On the zit of February we began our march. At Paffeuheim we fell in with the enemy's advanced guard, which was already in motion, towards Wil lenberg, for offenfive operations. The Grand Duke caufed it to be attacked by feveral columns of cavalry, and forced his way into the place. The corps of Marfhal Davouft moved towards Ortelfberg. " On the zd the Grand Duke of Berg advanced with Martha! Seth's corps to Allenftein. Martha! Davonfl's corps marched to Wartenberg. In the courfe of the 3d inilant the corps of Martha's Au gereau and Ney arrived at Allenftein. The enemy's army, which had retreated in great hafle when they faw their left flank pufhed towards the Viflitla, which they boalled they should pafs, pt efented themfelves at three in the morning in order of battle, with their left covered by the village of Mnntdken, their centre at Jonkowo, and occnp) ing the high road to Lieb- Bath." BATTLE OF BERGFRIED. " The Emperor repaired to the village of Getken dorf, and formed the corps of Mar(hal Ney in order of hatt:e on the left, that of Mar fhal Soult on the right, that nf Mai !hal Augereau in the centre, with Tinileri.tl Guard as the refrrve. He gave orders to Mart!lal Soult to advance by the road to Gutt fladt, and make !Amt . & mailer of tke bridge at Berg fried, with the siew of taking the enemy in the rear, with the whole of his corps, a movement which mult have been decifive of the fate of the day ; becaure, ii he enemy was beaten, his retreat would be entirely cut GIF. ." Marlhal Souk difpatched General .Guyot with the light cavalt y to make himfeif mailer of Guttftadt, where he tar.l: a great part of the enemy's baggage, and made t&Do Ruffian prifoners. Guttftadt was the centre ~ f the army's depots. At the fame time, tlarfltul Scult advanced with the divifions of Lavel and Lag: inge, to the bridge of Bergfried. The enzmy, convinced that this important paition would cut off the retreat of his left flank, defended the brill to with twelve of his bell battalions. The can ri,litaLle commenced at three in the afternoon. The 4 , h i:siment of the line, and the 21ft of the light infantry, had the honour of being the firft to attack ‘!n•9lly. They fupported their ancient charafter. •t rz.imems :And a battali••n of the 28th, placed the ic'fzrve, were found fufficient to force the eneiity ; they puffed the bridge at a flnrming pace, lowed the twelve Ruffian battalions, took four pieces of rat;n2n, and coverecl'the field of battle with killed a::d v.'^unded. The 46th and 55th regiments, which foli,it.l the fccoral brigade, were in the rear of the for,mr, but larg with defire to come to anion ; but tl.: had already abandoned. all his excellent . • :--d f ,Ituttate omen for the following day. ;:nt.ll - ...; this time Mat fhal 1\1.4 made himfelt ~1"- .t wood which covered the • enemy's tight divilion of St. Hilaire got poffetlion of ‘• • w ;licit the center was polled ; while the (:;and 3erg, .aith leveral Icitindrt.ns of•dra ;146(10 the wood, and cleared. the 4 the enemy in our front. In thefe repeated the easy were continually driven back, and . i.-rifoners-; and In this filuation ap- : proaihed, while the armies were in prefence of each other. The weather was favonrable for the time a the year, though the fnow was between two and three feet deep, and the thermometer flood between two and three degrees of cold. " At break of day General Lafalle. of the light infantry. traverfed the plain with his Hu ff ars. A line 1 of Coffacks, and the enemy's cavalt y, immediately I advanced to meet him. The Grand Duke of Berg formed his "cavalry in a line, and advanced to recon nnitre the enemy. The cannonade began on both fides ; but we were loon convinced that the enemy had availed himfelt of the night to make his retreat, and had only left behind him the rear guards of the right wing, the left, and the center. We purfued and I drove the enemy before tic, fighting for the (pace of fix hours. The enemy's cavalry were repeatedly charged, but the obnacles prefented by the uneven• nets of the ground operated apical the efforts of our cavalry. However, before night fall, the ad vanttd guard of the Fr ench cav4lry reached Deppen, where it pallid the night. The Emperor flept at Schlett. On the sth, by day break, the whole French army was in motion. At Deppen the Emperor re. ceived intellig-nce, that one of the enemy's columns had not yet pallid the Alle; that our left wing was advancing, and followin,.. it at no great diftance; while the main body of the Ruffian army was proceeding along the roads to Ahrendorf and Landlberg. His KijAly gave orders to the Grand Duke of Berg, Marlh.al Soulr, and Davouft, to follow the enemy in that direCtion. The corps of Martha! Ney received orders to pals the Alle with a divifion of the light cavalry under General Lafalle, with another of dra goons, and attack the enemy's corps which bad been cut off. BATTLE OF WATERDORF. " The Grand Duke of Berg having reached the heights of Waterdprf, found 8 or goo() of the enemy's cavalry before him. Several attacks were made, and the enemy retreated. BATTLE OF DEPPEN. 44 During this time, Marflial Ney was cannonading and engaging the enemy's corps that was cut off For a moment the enemy adopted the daring refoltiL tion of cutting their way through our troops, but they met death upon the points of our bayonets they wet e defeated and thrown into dreadful diforder, and lull their cannon, colours, and baggage. The other divitions of this corps, feeing the fate of their advanced guard, took flight. In the evening we had made feveral thoufand prifoners, and took 16 pieces of cannon. Meanwhile, owing to thefe movements,' the com munication between the Ruffian army was in a great meafure cut off. Their depots at Lieb9adt and Gutt: ftadt, and a part of their magazines upon the Alle, had fallen into the hands of our light cavalry. • " In all thefe trifling affairs, our lofs has not been vet y confiderable; it amounts to between So and too killed, and 3or goo wounded. General Gardanne, the Emperor's Aide de Camp, and Governor of the Pages, has received a dangerous contufion in the breaft. The Colonel of the 4th dragoons is badly wounded. Brigadier General Latour Maubourg has received a mutket (hot in the arm. The Adjntant Commandant Lauberdiere, charged with the 'pedal direetion of the Huffars, was wounded in an attack. —l'he Colonel of the 4th regiment of the line, was wounded at the fame time." FIFTY•SEVENTH BULLETIN " Pruffian Eylan, Feb. 7. " The army bean its march at fix in the morn ing : the Grand Duke of Berg, with the corps of Matfhal Souk, to Lantherg ; that of Marfhal Davouft to Hallberg ; and that of Marfhal Ney to Worden ditt, to prevent the Ruffian corps which had been cut off from returning to Deppen. BATTLE OF HOFF. ge The Grand Duke having arrived at Glandau, came up with the enemy's rear, which he attacked between that place and Hoff. The enemy difplayed feveral lines of cavalry, confining of twelve batta lions. Their front feemed to fupport their rear poll ed upon the heights of Landfberg. The Grand Duke made his difpofitions ; and after the enemy's right and left wing, formed upon a circular eminence and in a wood, had been feveral times attacked, the 'dra goons and 'cuiraffiers of General Ha utpoult's divifion made an excellent charge, defeated and cut in pieces two Ruffian regiments of infantry. The Colonels, colours, cannon, and moll of the officers and foldiers were n , tde prifoners. The enemy's army then put itfelf in motion to fuccour its rear. Marfhal Soult bad artived ; Marfhal Augerean took poft on the left v ing, and Hoff was taken poffeffion of. The enemy, ' , moving the importance of this poll, fent ten battalions to retake it. The Grand Duke ordered the cuiraffitrs to make a fecund charge, which nearly annihilated the enemy's battalims. There manceu vres are excellent instances of military (kill, and do great honour to the brave cuiraffiers. They alto merit a par'icular detail. A part of both armies paffed the night between the 6th and 7th in each others pretence. During the night the enemy returned his retreat. 4‘ At day break the French advanced guard began its march, and came up with the enemy's rear be tween the wood and the little town of Eylau. Some of the enemy's yagers on foot, for the purpole of co• vering the tear, were attacked, and partly made pri• loners. We loon reached Eylau, and found that the enemy had taken a potnion behind that place." FIFTY•EIGHTH BULLETIN. • " Pruffian Eylau, Eeb. R. " A quarter of a league from the little town of Eylau there is a flat eminence, which defends the entrance of that place. Martha' Soult gave orders to the 46th and 18th regiments of the line to make themfelves mailers of it. The regiments which de fenckti this eminence were thrown into confufion ; but • at the fame moment a column -- of Ruffian cavalry made a charge upon the left of the 18th, and threw fome of its battalions into diforder. The dragoons of the regiment of Klein, obferving this in 'time, all the troops came to aElion in Eylau. The enemy had placed feveral regiments in a church and church. yard, where they made an obflinate defence ; but after a very murderous affair on both fides, the poll. tion was taken about ten at night; Le drand's di vifion paired the night in front of tht village, and ;hat .of St. Hilaire to the right of it. Marfh4l Augereau's corps tock poll to the left. Marfhal Davoufl's corps had begun its march early on the' following day, to proceed beyond Eylag, an 3 if the caemy had not changed his pofition, to fall upon his left. Marthal Ney was on the march fl4olc him on his right. In this tituation both armies patted the night. BATTLE OF EYLAU. " The enemy commenced the at,ack at day break by a cannonade upon the divifion of St. Hilaire. " The Emperor repaired to the poll at the church, which had been fo obflinately defended the day be fore. He ordered Martha] Augereau's corps to ad vance, and cannonade the eminence with forty pieces of cannon belonging to the . Imperial Guard. A dreadful cannonade enfued on both fides. . a The Ruffian army, formed in columns, was only at the diftance of half cannon thou E - vety ball told. For a moment, it appeared by the • enemy's motions, that impatient of fuffering fo much, he meant to furround our left wing. At the fame time, Marfhal Davoutt's tirailleurs (hewed themfelves, while Martha' Augeteau's corps advanced in• to lumns acrofs the plain to attack the enemy's centre, and thus, by dividing his attention, prevented .him from falling upon Marfhal Davouft with his whole force. The divifion of St. Hilaire approaching on the right, bath corps were obliged to manceufre, in order to form a jundion with Marffial Augereau and the divifion of St. Hilaire in the plain, when a fall of fnow, fo thick as to prevent people from teeing two paces before them, covered both armies. In this interval, the point of direlion was loft, and the co lumns moving too far to the left wandered for fame time in a Rate of uncertainty. This perplexing ob fcurity lafted half an hour, when the weather clear-. ing up, the Grand Duke put himfelf at the head of the cavalry, and with Martini Beffieres and the Im perial Guards, advanced to the fupport of Saint Hilaire's divifion, and attacked the enemy's main body. This was one of the boldeft manoeuvres that has ever been pradifcd, and will cover our cavalry with glory. It was rendered neceffary by the cit. cumftances in which our columns were then placed. The enemy's cavalry, in attempting to oppnfe this movement, were thrown into diforder, and the car-' nage was dreadful. Two lines of R.lll:flan infantry were penetrated, and the third only maintained itfelf in confequence of being Covered by a wood. Some fquadrons of the Guards palled twice through the whole of the enemy's army. 4 4 An attack fo fplendid and unheard of, which defeated upwards of twenty thoufand men, and com pelled them to leave their artillery, would have de tided the votory beyond all doubt, if a wood, and fume obftacica in the nature of the ground, had not prevented it. 'General Hautpoult was wounded by a cartridge flint. General Dohlman and a number of his brave foldiers died with glory. But about one hundred dragoons, cuirafliers, and foldiers of the guard, who were found upon the field of battle, lay encircled with upwards of one thoufand of the ene-;j my. This part of the field was dreadful to 'behold. ' 4 4 During this period, the whole of' Marfhal Da-' vnufl's corps moved in purfuit of the enemy. The fnow, which had fallen frequently in the day, retat ded his march, and prevented the junction of hit'co lumns. The enemy's lofs is •incalculable ours is confiderable Three hundred pieces of Cannon, on both fides, vomiting fire for twelve hours, dealt death and denrodion around them. ViBory. for a long . time uncertain, waldecided, when Martha! Davoitit appeared upon the -level height, and out-flanked the enemy,' who, after five.al attempts to regain it, ch fe to retreat. • At the fame time Martha! Ney's corps appeared:: beyond Altorf on the left wing. He overtock the Prpffiansolumn that efcaptd from Deppen,_ flying before him: In the evening he took poll in the village of Schenadetten. Several battalions Qf Ruffian Grenadiers, which had not been in the engagement, appeared before this place ; but the 6th regiment of Light Infantry let them approach' the points of, their bayonets, and form put them to flight. The enemy was on the following day purfued to the river Frifchling. He retreated acrofs the Pre get. He left (lateen pieces of cannon on the field of battle, and his wounded. All the houfes along the road by which he retreated is full of them. garthal Augereau is wounded with a mulket. ball. Generals Desjardens, Heudelet, and Lochet, are wounded. General Corbineau was killed by a cannon ball. Colonel Lacue, of the 63d, and Col. Lemarois, of the 43d, were killed by cannon balls. Colonel Bouvieres. of the tith dragoons, died of his wounds. All have died glorioully ! The exad num ber of men which we have loft is 1900 killed, and 5700 wounded ; about moo of the latter cannot re cover, fo as to be fit for fervice any more. All the dead were butied on the 19th. We found 7000 Ruffians on the field of battle. " Thus the plan of the enemy, whole objeel in attacking us was to extend themfelves to Thorn, be yond our right wing, has proved molt fatal to them. Between iz and 15,c00 were made prifoners, and an equal number killed and wounded. Eighteen (land. ards, and 45 pieces of cannon, remained as trophies of victory in our hands. They have been too dearly purchafed, however, by the blood of fo many brave warriors. " The unfavourable slate of the weather, which under other circumstances would have been of trifling confequence, evidently impeded the movements of the French army. Our cavalry and artillery have done wonders. The Imperial Horte Guard has ob tained a degree of glory beyond all precedent, and that is laying much. The Foot Guards remained the whole day under arms without firing a musket, or making any movement. Circurnflances were of that nature which did not permit them to take any part in the attack. Marfhal Augercau's being wounded, was molt unfortunate ; and hence in the bona part of the adion, hit corps was without a leader. • " This recital exhibits a general !ketch of the day. Many particular events occurred to the honour of the Frer ch foldiers. •The Staff is engaged in collec ting an account of them: .An uncommon quantity of ammunition was ufed by the artillery, and lefrthan afual by the infantry. !'..The Eagle of one battalion of the I . Bth has not been , found ;•• probably it has fallen into the enemy's hands :.the regiment, bowe.ver, is blamelefs. In the fituation it was placed in, this may be reckoned among the chances •of war. The Emperor will present it with another Eagle wheel it lball take a ftandard fr the enemy. Our objeB is completed. The enemy is defeated, and driven one hundred leagues from the Viet ula. The army Will refnme its cantonments, and return to its winter' quarters." PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY, MARCH 9.

He wifhed to give Gentlemen, who had flatted their objelions, every poffible accommodation ; and though he could not fee how the preamble of the Bill in its prefent form could be produ&ive of the ill confequences that had been fo if rentgly apprehended , yet he would content, by omitting the two firit Aires, to put that preamble in a form Ids objeaionable ; at the fame time, when he recolleded that all the former proceedings of the two Houfes of Parliament, rel - live to the Slave Trade, had been publifhed in all parts 4 the Weft Indies, and there circulated, and efpecially the very Refolution declaring the trade to be inconfiflenr with juflice, humanity and found po• lief, and that thole publications were not productive of any ditturbance or diraffedion among the negroes; he could not think that if the preamble flood in its original (late, that it could be produdive of the leaft evil; this opinion, however, fhould yield to his anxiety for general accommodation on a great queftion like the prefent.
