PRUSSIA FROM THE HAMBURGH AND ALTONA PAPERS. BERLIN, FEB. 15.•••( Front the Telegraph.)—A let ter from Arnfdorf, dated the 6th February, confer ms the accounts we have already given, brought by an officer who left that place on the sth. The letter of the 6th contains the following details : The Emperor, on the 3d of February, left Al tenllein, and palled the night at a (mall village named Getkendorf, two leagues from that place. He went from thence the next morning to Sahlitt, where he palled the night. On the sth he arrived at Arnfdoef. 6$ The enemy was found on the 3d beyond Get kendotf, bat during the night he effected his retreat. He was purfued. A ccrps of twenty thoufandinen was cut off; and it is probable that not a man of them will be able to efcape. From eight to ten thou fend men have already been made prifoners. The enemy is flying in the greateft confulion, not know ing whither he is going. He has already loft thirty pieces of cannon, many Itandards, and a prodigious quantity of baggage. The two depots of Lieblladt and Gultadt have likewife been taken." Fsß. 1 7 —(F r om the Telegraph).—His Excellency General Clarke received yellerday official letters from Eylau, dated the 9th indent, which announce the great events which have taken place fince the ill of this month. We give an abridged account of them, and with refpeCt to any further account, wait until we have received the bulletins. The advanced nuard of the Ruffian army, which was defeated at Mohrjngen, retreated to Lieblladt. Several divifions, inclhding that of General Ellin from Moldavia, arrived to reinforce the army. The enemy . appearing to have the defign of making an at tack'', the Emperor ordered tyre PI ince of Pomo Cor vo to make a feigned Retreat, in order to draw them towards the Viftula. On the eft of February we marched towards the enemy, and joined the Prince at Paffenheim. On the 3d in the morning the left wing of the enemy's army, which had retreated in Italie, was turned, and placed between ua and the Villula. The Emperor pro ceeded to Getkendorf, and placed in order of battle M.arthals ,Ney, .Augereau, and Soult, keeping his guards in referve. In order to cot off the retreat of the left wing of the enemy, )Marthal Sault received orders to feize the bridge. of . ISergfi ied; which the enemy defended with twelve of their bell battalions. Thefe battalions were thrown into diforder by two French regiments ; they loft four pieces of cannon, and 16co prifoners, and were forced to aband::n all their fine pofi'ions. The enemy', cavalry were overthrown on the 4th, by General Lafalle, who purfued them for fix leagues, with drums beating, and who pafild the night at Derpau. A column of the enemy which could not pafs the Alle, found itfelf turned, and cut off by our left wing. Marthal Ney, who purfued them, took feveral thoufand prifoners, and t 6 pieces of cannon. In contequence of thefe movements we took the enemy's depots at Lieblladt and Guttadt, and a part of their magazines on the Alle. On the- 6th the army continued to purfue the enemy. The Grand Duke of Berg took a pofition with his cavalry between Glandau and Hof. The Dragoons and Cuiraffiers attacked the rear guard of the enemy, confittiog of twelve battalions, cut to• pieces two regiments of Ruffian infantry, and took their Colonels, llandards, and cannon. Martha] Augereau had taken poll at the village of Hof, which fix of the enemy's battalions attempted to retake. The Grand Duke of Berg made a fecond charge with the Cuiraaiers. He fell on the flank of the enemy and threw them into diforder. On the next day the aimy continued its march to Eylau,and on re cobnoitering the ground found the enemy drawn up in order of battle behind the town. Two Ruffian re giments, placed on the heights which defend the entrance of the plain behind this little town, were overthrown by the rflth and 46th regiments of the line. The enemy had rationed in a church, and on a burying ground, feveral regiments, who made an obftinate reliflance. After a bloody aetinn, the enemy were diflodged from their pofition. The following day commenced with a bra cannonade on both fides the P Arlan army placed in columns fuffered greatly. At the moment when Marthal Augereau was ma noeuvring to form a junaion with Marthal Davoull, the fnow fell fo thick that it oblcured the atmofphere —This lafted half an hour. The weather having cleared, the Grand Duke t f Berg and Marthal Bef fiers, by a fkilful manoeuvre, fell on the enemy's ca valry and made great (laughter. Two lines of Ruf fian infantry ....ere broken, and the third only remain ed entire in confequence of its being fupported by a wood. The fquadtons of the Imperial Guard twice paired through the whole of the enemy's army.— Upwards of zo,ooo men were ovet thrown, and ((need to abandon their artillery, and had it not been for the woad and fume difficulties of ground, the vielory would have been decided upon the fpot. The Inow, which fell lteeral times during the battle, liktwile retarded the march and the juntlion Gf our columns. Matfhal Ney advanced by Altdorf, and took poll at Sciiniocliten. The enemy, placed between the di vifions' of Matlhals Ney and Davoull, endeavoured in vain in the evening to retake the villages. They la ere reptilfed with lois. The enemy were purfued the next day to the Frif- They palled the P,cgel, and abandoned fixteen pieces of cannon and their wounded. All the boats in the roads by which we paired were filled ith them. On that day alone they had at lull 7,000 k;lled. Flom ; z to 15.000 prifoners, as mars , put hors Je rombat, eighteen tiandards, and forty five pieces of cannon, arc the trophies which we have won in the different anions which have taken place fince the 19 of February. Tne enemy having been defeated, and purfued too leagues from theVillula, the Ft arch army will refume its winter quarters.

B.—The Telegraph of to-day contains as foi -1 :•••= 4 Although the following letter, dated (Fa m Pruffian Eylan on the 9th of February, at five in the evening, was wt itten earlier than the intelligence we gave y efterday, yet we cannot refrain from commu• nicating it to cur Readers: as it comes from a celt ated warrior, who was an eye withers of the battle of Eylau, we can depend upon his veracity : " The battle of Eylau h one of the moll remark able events of the war. The Ruffian army fuffered a molt dreadful difafter. They pared the whole night without being atle to concentrate, and they are a march diftance bef,re its. They loft from 40 , to 45pieces of cannon, at !call eighteen flandards. ten or•twelve thouland prifoners. and ten thoufand wounded. • To !late thrir whole lol•s at thirty thou find men, would be rather to ltffen than to magni• fy it." FFB. 20. (From the 7 e 7 egroph.)—For fome time, a party of Pruflian•, confining ‘,l p ;tmers of war, deferters, &c. has overrun a part of die new Ma'che. Their enter prizes have not been of much importance, and the peafants, with the exzeption of a very (mall number, were difpofed to be tranquil. This patty, therefore, confined itfelf to the feizure of fome iil guarded ammunition, and attacking fome unarmed persons. They, however, fpread terror amongft the inhabitants. M. Schee, Aide de Camp to Gen. Clarke, met with this party near Chritlianfladr, in Saxony, at the moment when they had cut off the c• , mmunication between Frankfort on the Oder and Pofen. M. Schee attacked and difperfed them, kit. ling upwards of forty men, and carrying away as many wounded, including two officers. The Chief of the party fought fafety in flight. He took the road to Soratt, and his troops difperfed themfelves in the woods, where they abandoned fifteen carriages, Wen with arms and ammunition ; forty cavaliers fold theft horfes in the villages, and quitted their uniform. We ate in purfuit of the relt, who will not efcape the vigilance of the French detach ment. Two French Oflicets have been releafed, who had been made prifoners by this party on the great road. STETTIN, JAN. 3r. The General of Brigade, Thouvenot, Governor. General of Pomerania, has ;trued the I.llowing Pro clamation, by order of his Excellency General Clark, Governor General of Berlin : " All Merchants, Shopkeepers, and Inhabitants, are pro• hibited from receiving letters under their addrefs intended tor other ptriOns, if there letters come from, and are forwarded to cnuntries occupied by the enemy. Whcever ts guilty of au infrae non of this article, limit be delivered up to a Military Commif lion.

If the inhabitants of Pomerania with that the French aa thotities Ihould continue to treat them as peaceable c:tiz ns, it i• neceifary that they fhould condual themfelves as fuch, and that they fhould leave to the army and political arrangements the talk of deciding the quarrel which (Wills hetwecu States. THOU vENur, "Stettin, Jan. as." G wernor General of Pomrrania. POLAND. BRODY, FLB. t. Yellerday M. Reinhardt, the late French Refi dent in Moldavia, entered this place with his fa mily. He had been conduaed from Jafry as far as Cremenzuc, in the Government of Pultowa, under a Ruffian efcort ; but, on tile rzth of January, an order arrived from the Emperor Alexander for his liberation. Later accounts mention his arrival at Lemberg. WAR3AW, FEB 14. The battle of lalled from eight in the mor ning until fix in the evening. The united Ruffian and PrufTian army firlt began the contelt with three 'French divifions, which on tins occafion added new laurels to thole they had already acquired After wards the divains of Ney and Soult took the moll decifive (hare in the battle, in which, on acc , unt of the obflinate refillance of the Ruffians, whole ranks of them were hewed to the ground. The Imperial Guards in particular made a dreadful havock. It was the Imperial Adjutant, General Corbineau, who was killed by a cannon ball. Martha' Auger eau is wounded in the arm. The divilion of Mat fbal Lannes, who was pretest at the battle in perfm, and was {lightly wounded, is at prefent in the neighb-ur hood of 011tolenka under the command of General Savaq. Lithuania being quite exhanfled by the mainte nance of fn marry troops for thefe three months pall, the attertinn of the army is turned to Padolia and Volhynia, wht.re the places that have been fpared centain barns with three or four years produce. A hope has been exprelted among the Rufliatn, that old Field Mar that Dolgorucky is on his march with a very confiderable reinforcement. This Prince had been fome time in difgrace, and was but very lately reflored to favour. 1 HORN, FEBRUARY 14. On the I ith inflant, Marlhal Lefebvre attacked General Roquette near Marienwerder. The latter had under hi., orders fix fquadrons, one battalion, and lour pieces of cannon. The enemy were beaten at all points, and pmfued (word in band for 4. leagues. —The road was covered with the killed and the wounded. General Requette only owed his fafety to the fwiftncfs of his hot fe. BRESLAU, FEBRUARY xr. General 1 - I , :douville iffucd yederday the following Order of the Day : The Corps of Obfervatir.n, commanded by Ge neral Ltfevte attacked the enemy on the Sih in the politions of F , ank,:nliein, Wartha, and Neu. rode ; tilde fortifications defend the narrow pa&ges and the defiles. We were obliged to Imifi our at :if lery to the tops of the neighbouring Gererel. • l.elevre attakked the intrenchment in front, whilQ the Adjutant Commandant Reuben, turned them with the light infantry of the Wurtembcrg troops. The enemy refitted for tw•o hours, but mete at length defeated, and driven under the walls of Glatz. We took 3co prifoneri, and the enemy loft too killed, and one piece of cannon. The enemy endeavoured to form under the walls of Glatz, but were difperfed, and forced to throw themfelves into the fortrefs. , "Prince Jerome proceeded on the sth to j• in the divifion which is befieging Schweidnitz. The firti bombs were thrown in his pretence, and let file to the town in feveral plac s. It is hoped that the place will loon be ccmpelled to lurrender. Prince Jerome returned in the eveNing to Breflau." 15.—Relative to tile operations cf the Grand Army under the immediate command of the Em peror, General Iledouville has pnblifhed the follow• ing :—" According to intenignce from Warlaw, dated Eh 9 ; two in the mining, the EmperoCa head quatteys were at Lanetterg en . the 6th. The Ruffian army is in complete diforder : upwards of eight thoufand prifr , ners are already fent to Trance, by way of Thorn. The Generals Gardanne and La tour Mauburg are wounded : Colonel Pappenheim, of the Royal Bavarian light bode, was killed. Ge nerals Sava, y and Orulinot were that day ordered to attack the enemy's right wing." Some negociations had commenced between Prince Anhalt Plefs and Prince Jerome, refpeeting but they terminated without coming to any agree ment. G ir. VIENNA, FIUMUARY 7. General Andre-ffy, the French Ambalrador, had a private audience of his Majelly IA Sunday, at which he delivered him a letter from his Sovereign. The reports which have been circulated recpearng •the entrance of foreign trovs into Gallicia, and having carried off provifions from thence is un founded. We learn from upper Hungary, that all the troops which were in the Circles of Zinfer, Abaniwarer, Gornorer, and Ughwarer, were put in motirn at the beginning of January, to form a cordon on the iron tiers of Gallicia. They are computed at so,oco in• fantry, and mow honk. •Tire Court Gazette of this day contains the follow iag from Turkey : The Sultan fent a refcripton nth December, to the Grand Vizier the Haiti Sherif, which orders him to repair to the camp with all the Pashas, Beys, and other officet s, named for that purpnfe by his Highnefl, to form nn army near Adrianopk, and to erect the ftandard of Mahomet, that all the tvlnfrulmans may join thefe facred colon's. The war againft Ruilia has been declared a war of religion ; and, in conf , tquencd, all the Pashas and Beys of Romelia and Bulgaria, who had differences wilt each other, have agreed to unite their efforts againti Ruffia." S.I. Reinhard, the French Minder. who Tended at _fairy, and who was taken by the Ruffians, has been let at liberty. FEBRUARY 11. General St. Vincent (MI continues at Warrdw.— Our Court has made an offer of its mediation be tween the bellige►ent powers. May its eff3tts be crowned with luccefs ! The Ruffi ins advance again( Varna ; but that Wi.ldin is already in their hands, requites confirma tion. The Pet flan Plenipotentiary, Fatali Shah, has ar rived here. with a large retinue. He came by way of Cordiantinople and Widdin. In a few days he wi!l fet nut for Warfaw. We learn from Cnnflantinople, that Mr. Secretary jouhert left that city on the oth f January with prefents from the Grand Seignior to the Emperor Napoleon. PRESBURG, FEBRUARY I. The Weil letters from Wallachia confirm the report that the Ruffians continue their march through Bul garia to Albania. They have already an army of 4.0,000 men in Bulgaria. Pafwan Oglou, in an at temptto oppofe them, hasbeen compelled to fall back. An infurreei. n has broken out at Nilfa, on the Bulgarian fide: it has already taken a very ferinus turn. The infurgents, after the manner of the Ser• vians, form themfelves into corps of Loop each.— They hive already defeated theTnrks, and we expth to fie much the fame fcenes repeated there as have been exhibited in Servia. FRONTIERS OF POMERANIA, FEB. ti. The French continually hart all the advanced poll of the Swedes. On the fide of Knifpetpont, Colonel Gatdell Trade, on the 9th and loth inliant, a fortie, with zoo chAffeurs, a lquadron of huffars, and duce pieces of cannon. There has been a fki'tnfh near Schuppenkrog and Sappenlizgcn, in which tome were wounded on both fides. In the Rftern,on, unt d'Oxenflierna, at the head of so chaff:AlN, had a combat with the French. FEERUARY 17. SEveral frefh bldies of troops have arrived at S!ralfund from Sweden. At Anchor), Volga ft, &c. all the (hips have been put in tequithion. The French proceed brifkly in their operations for the liege and bombardment of Stralfund. Some heavy artillery is at prefent on its way through Friedland. The report that Come Swedifh (hips of the line had arrived on the fhores of Pomerania is unfounded. The Swedith gun boats have mad: various can nonades at different places. BANKS OF THE MAIN, FEB. ii. The Ruffian Empire having put the whole of i ts forces in motion, in the French Empire and in the Rates of its allies, difpofitinns have been math which are not lefs formidable. Nu French army was ever • Peen in the field fo firing as the prefent is about t o be made. The new confcriptiun has been attended with the greotea fuccefs, and the troops are incef. Candy marching towards the army. At fir fl• 20,000 men were defined to form the army of referve. bin by a new order, this plan has been changed, aid all there troops will join the grand army. All the fates of the corifedetation of the Rhine are obliged to have their contingents always complete, and it is faid that in cafe of neceffity they will be obliged to furnifh the ,ne half of them to the French army. It is afferted alio, that Naples and Switzerland in capacity of allies of France, mutt fend tronps into the field, and that the kingdom of Naples alone will furnifh an army of 33,000 men. BANKS OF THE ELBE, FE8.23. The laft aflions up to the 8!lt inftant or; the theatre of war, now transferred front Poland to Eaft Pruflia, have taken place within an extent of country of 12 German miles. The French army have made a movement from South to North. The divition of Marthal Lafnes, which forms the right king of the army, has now the polition on the Narew, and has rt , t Seen diflurbed during the late affairs, which have taken place in Eafl Prullia. The flatements hithe•to priblithed do not inform us what part of the Ruffian army has been engaged, or what General command. ed. in order to be enabled to give the refpe4live pofitions of the armie4, we mutt wait till it is decided whether the French army will take up their winter quarters in the countries which they have occupied in cenfequencr of the affairs which have taken place up to the 8:h of February, or whether they will return to their former pinions.

May the PanvioFtics and GRACE, which are fo need fary to mankind in al! their undertakings, aad the aid and fupport of the Prophet of GOD, ever attend you ! It has been reprefented in the Grand Divan, lately held in the pretence of all the - Vizier., Ulernas and Chiefs of the Corps of Janiffaries, that the perfi dirtas Ruflians'have molt tinexpetledly broken the trea ties which they had concluded with us, inafmuch as they have take,, polieffion of tie tortreffes of Bender and Choczim, by wltich they have given a demon batiste proof that the malicious arid perfidious defigns which they have long cher ithed, and on various oc cations manifefted towards the Muffulman people, have net ceafed to a4stuate them.
