Behold, thus the Englith are at war againft the briganch, and their coalition is clif f ,ived.—.llwilieur. GkMOA, FEBRUARY 20.—Since the Englifh have fent tt,e greater part of their thipping to the Eati• w ird, this part of the Mediterranean is happily freed horn their prefence, and clrfequently open to the French. Three French frigate and a co; vette have lately patted by this port from Curried, bound to Toulon. MUNICH, FEB. 24.—The Ruffian.: have attempted to mount on limfAack all the tn•bility of Lithuania. Volhiltia, and the Ukraine, but they have refilled with all their force. The Government has threatened to fequeller the property of the lobility, which has caafed great diceoutent in the %thole country.

AUGSEUAGH, Fin. 25 —The lail advices from Vi• enna nieotico, that Mr.Reichard, la:c French Contul at JalTy, and his family, who had been fet:t into Ruf fta by General Miellelfou, were met at Pultova, 200 leagues from JatTy, hy a coulter vim brought the or der to fiit them at liberty. To this order was an nexed a very poiiic letter for Mr. Reinhard, from Bm!bcrg, the Milliner for Foreign Afriirs ia Rutlia. Mr. Rt.n,hard and Lis family are fr lic e ar . in SIXTY-SECOND EtILLITIN OF THE GRAND ARMY: I " Liebßadt, Feb. at. 4 ' The tight of the Crand Army has been as vic torious as the centre and the left. General Ellen, at the head of 25,000 men, advanced to Oflrolenka, on 1 the 15th, along both hanks of the Narew. Arrived at :be village of Fliciec Lawowa, he met the advan ced guard of General Savary, commanding the s'h • corps.._ _ _ _ _ " The 16th, as day break, General Gazen advan ced with a part of his divition to the van guard.— At nine in the morning, he met the enemy upon the road to Newr , mr• d, attacked, defeated, and put him to the rout. The enemy attacked Oftrolenka by the left bank. General Campana, with a brigade of the of GAZAII, and General Ruffin, with a bri gade of the divifi'n of General Ondinot, defended this (mall city. General Savary fent thither the Ge neral of Divifion, lteille, Chief of the Staff of the corps of the army. The Ruffian infantry, in (even' columns, attempted to carry the city. They were permitted to advance half into the ftreets. They were charged, thrice broken, and left the flreets co vered with dead. The lofs of the enemy was fo great, that they abandoned the city, and took a po lition behind the land hills that cover it. 4 4 The divifions of Generals Suchet and Oudinot advanced : at twelve o'clock the heads of their co lumns arrived at Oftrolenka. General Savary drew up hi; little army in the following manner : 44 General Oudinot, in two lines, commanded the left ; General Suchet the centre ; and General Reille commatkling a brigade of the divifion of Gazan, formed the right. He covered himfelf with his ar tillery, and marched to meet the enemy. The in trepid General Oudinit placed himfelf at the head of the cavalry, charged with fuccefs, and cut to pieces the Coffacks of the tear guard cf the enemy. The file was very brilk, the enemy gave ground, and was driven, fighting, three leagues. 6 6 The next day the enemy were purfued feveral leagues, but without having been able to know that their cavalry had been fighting and retreating the whole night. General Suwarrow, and feveral other of the ene my's rfficers have been killed. The enemy left behind a great number of wounded, twelve hundred of them have been picked up, and they are picking up more every infant. Seven pieces of cannon, and two ltandards, are the trophies of the viaory. The enemy left 13co dead bodies upon the field of battle. On our fide we had fixty killed, and between four and five hundred wounded. But a lots that has been deeply felt is that of the General of Brigade Cam pana, wh a was an officer of great merit, and of great expedations. He was born in the Department of I Marengo. The Emperor has been much grieved for his lots. The io3d regiment diftinguiffied itfelf par ticularly in this affair. Among the wounded are Colonel du Hamel, of the 21ft light infantry, and the Colonel of Artillery Neurrit. " The Emperor had ordered the sth corps to flop, and take winter quarters. The thaw is frightful.— The feafon does not permit the doing any thing great. It is that of repofe. The enemy has been the fir( to break up his quarters—He repents of it." PARIS, MARCH 7.—The departure of she Con. fcripts of 1807, may be confidered as finifhed. There remains only a (mall number of youth to fet out, de tained at home by indifpofition. Thus, in the fpace of one month, all thit confctipts of 1807, called to the a.aive array, have fet out to j• in their tiandards. MARCH 9.—On the 2d, the Maufolees of Staniflaus the Fir d, King of Poland, and his Qeen, were tranf• (erred from Nancy to the church of Benzecours. The Argus, obferving upon the operations of the Grand Army, fays—" The Taft vi&ories of the grand army have [tented the advantage of its military port tions, completed the fuccelfes of this prodigious cam paign, and prepared thole of the next, lhould the blindnefs of the Ruffian Cabinet lead it to perfift in a war prejudicial to its true interefls." That " what it has already achieved, has furpaffed the expeaations even of thole who hoped the molt from its courage." Thu:. the Ruffians, unable to defend themfelves in front, determined to attack the French army upon its flanks, to Ili-etch beyond it by the Lower Villula, and difengage Dantzic, Graudcntz, and the whole coun try ; ." but (concludes the article) a feeble divifion of the Flencil army firfficed at firlt to flop the unex peeted match of the Ruffians; and being loon led on by the Emperor in perfon, it beat the enemy, and carried its conquells fixty leagues further than his Maje(ty had thought of advancing before the fpring. " The attack of the Ruffians, therefore, completely mifearried. To flop, was to defeat them. The deli verance of Dantzic and Polifh Praia, was its objea; their entire conqueft is the immediate effeul of this expedition, and the French army has acquired finer poiitions from it. No vu Cory then could have been attended with more advantageous refults." PAALLIMEATART PROCE6DINGS. HOUSE Or LORDS, MARCFI r 7.

SLAVERY IN THE COLONIES. Lord PERCY role, in purfuance of notice, to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the Abolition of Slavery in the Welt India Colonies. The general (cope of the Noble Lord's fpeech was, that it was defirable to put an end to the barbarities exiting in the Well Indies, at the recolledion of which it was impoffible not to fhudder. We ought to endeavour, as loon as poflible, to refcue the Negroes from the condition of Brutes, and raife them to the level of human creatures. The arguments that were good againft the trade were alfo good against flavery ttfelf. He thought, therefore, that a time ought to be fixed when flavery fhould ceafe, and a mode by which this defirable end might be accomplifhed. He concluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill for that purl:rote: The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQFER faid, that notwithfianding his refped for his Noble Friend's motives and his participation in his feelings, he united the Houfe would not be furprited if he role to depre cate all dircuffion on this tubjedt, becaufe he had be fore declared, that he confidered the abolition of the :rade and the emancipation of the fl.tves as entirely dillind queflions.—The dircuffion of the queition of emancipation at this time might deprive us of the advantages of the abolition of the trade, and in this feutiment he bad the concurrence of molt of the emi nent charaders with whom he had converted on the filbjed. All was done that could be done. The emancipation would be a molt ferious injury to the planters, and would not be attended with any benefit to the Negroes themfelves. The emancipation mutt be gradual and arife out of the natural courfe of things, which was the only fate way in which fucb great revolutions could be effctled.—He concluded by moving the previous queltion. Mr. GREENHILL was extremely glad the quef . two propofed by his Noble Friend had been brought forward at to early a period, after notice had been given for its introdudion, in order that the Noble Lr r 1 might have a prompt opportunity of delivering his fentiments, and difpelling the alarms of . thofe whole interefis were fo deeply at flake. Sir C. POLE fpoke to the fame effea, and owned, that after he firli heard the prefent motion announced, he thought be could difcover the cloven foot through. out the difcullion on the former Bill ; and that it was intended by the friends of that meafure, to follow it up by fornething like that now propofed. He was glad, however, that it now came forward, as well as to hear the fentiments expreffed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer . Mr. WII.BERFORCE felt it neceffary to fay (notwithilanding whatever might be his own withes, or remote hopes on the fubjea now propofed) that it was never confidered by himfelf, or any of thole who fupported the former Bill, as any part of that mea Pure, or at all conneaed with it : but that their ob jet was to carry the lint great meafure, as laying the bails for the final emancipation, at fome future day, however remote ; but of which no hope what ever could have been reafonably entertained until the former meafure was effeeted. He was aware of the danger that mutt attend the fudden emancipation of the negroes : they were of courfe unfit for the imme diate participation of full liberty, with any fafety to their matters ; bin he Loked to more gradual means ; to a more tender fyllem of treatment, to a proper courfe of moral inftruCtion, and the inculcating into the young minds of the Negro children all the Chrif tian charities, as the means of ultimately emanci pating that unhappy race of men completely from that Itate. He retorted upon the Honourable Baronet the argument of the cloven foot, and Paid it was mott applicable to thole who oppofed the former Bill. Mr. SHERIDAN, after the anxious expeaation w'lich he had tall night expreffed, that the Bill then palled was but the preamble of the ultimate meafure of emancipation, thought that he fhould be guilty of the graffiti incontinency in giving a fluent vote on the prefent queftion. With thefe fentiments he need fcarcely fay, that the Noble Earl had his thanks for having direaed the attention of the Houfe to this im portant fubjea, even at that early period. The No ble Earl's liatements had been mifreprefented. He had never propofed to enfranchile the living negroes —his mealure, as he underflood him, was to corn , mence with infants born after a period, which would remain a matter of future parliamentary difcuffion. The planters were entitled to fair dealing on this firb jet% If the Houfe meant to fay, that by abolifhing the Slave Trade they had done all that duty deman ded, and that they would leave the emancipation of the naves to :he hazard of fortuitous circumaances, let them be explicit, and fay Co ; but if there lurked in any man's mind a fecret define to proceed in that butinels, a fecret conviaion that more ought to be done than has been done, it was unmanly, it was dd. honourable, not to (peak out. For one, he would boldly declare, that he had further views ; he hoped, that the yc.ung Nobleman who had done his feelings fo much credit, by the propofition he that evening made, would nand to his ground. If he perfevertd in the purfuit of his objea wit*be fame zeal as his Right Hon. Friend oppofite had done, he had nu doubt that he would meet with the fame fuccefs.— An Hou. Baronet had talked of a Cloven foot ; he pleaded guilt) to the cloven foot, but f t e would fay that of the man who expretied pleat - are at the hope of feeing fo large a portion of the tnman race freed from the 'hackles of tyranny ; it ought rather to b e fhid, that he had difplayed the pennon of an ang e l that the cloven font of a demon. It was true n o immediate conne&ion exilled between the abolitio n of the 'lave trade and the abolition of fla-, ! y, b ut . the fame feelings mutt be roofed by the canfideratka of both quell ions ; and he who detected the one prae rice mutt alfo &tea the other. H. did not like to hear the term property applied to the fubjeCts of a free country. Could man become the property of man ? A colony emancipating from the free Confli, cation of England mutt carry with it the principl e of that Conaitution, and could no more !hake off its well known allegiance to the Conaitution than it could (hake off its allegiance to the Sovereign. li e trolled that the planters might be induced to lead the way on the :trbje& of emancipation ; but he caution, ed the Houfe againft being too fanguine on this fob. jell. Were the planters themfelves always reticl e ,.. on the Wands, he fhould have greater hopes ; but it was not probable that becaufe cargoes of human milery were no longer to be landed on their thores, that becaufe their eyes were to be no longer gluttel with the fight of human Coffering, or their ea rs pierced with the cries of human dittraftion in. any further importation of negroes, that the have driven would loon forget their fixed habits of brutality, and learn to treat the unhappy wretches in their charg e with clemency and compatlion. Slavery would not wear itfeif out ; it would become more rigid, unlefs the Legifliture became more vigilant, and reminded the planters of the new duty that had fallen upon them, of rearing the young haves in fuch a manner, that they might be worthy of freedom. Adverting to the quotation from Gibbon, he contended that the flavery of the Weft Indies was unlike any oth er flavery ; it was peculiarly nnlike the flavery of an. cient days,- when the haves frequently attained to the highelt dignities—Efop, Terence, and Seneca wer e haves. Was there a polllbility that any of the nn. fortunate Negroes now in the Weft Indies fhould emulate fuch men ? It might b; dangerous to give . freedom to the haves in a mars, but that it was not dangerous to give it them in detail, was fufficiently proved by a little pamphlet that had been put into his hands IA night, in which it was (tated, that a Mr. David Barclay, to his eternal honour be it fpoken, who himfelf had been a have owner in Jamaica, and who, regretting that he had been fo, on a requeft of the haves being made to him, emancipated them, and caufed them to be conveyed to Pennfylvania, where they were properly intlrufted, and where their fubfequent exemplary condo& was the general theme of admiration. With this fa& before him, fhould he be told that he mull give up all hope of ab o lifhi ng flattery ? No, he would never give it up. •He would exclaim with the poet, in the words of the motto of 4. the pamphlet which he had mentioned, I would not have a have to till my ground, " To fan me when I fltep, and tremble when 1, 1 wike, for all that human finewabought • • " And fold, have ever :arn'd." Mr. WILBERFORCE, in explanation, denied ever having difavowed his with that freedom fhould ultimately be -communicated to the haves. He had deprecated the difcuflion at prefent, becaufe he look. ed to the gradual improvement of their minds, and to the diffulion among them of thofe domeftic cha rities which would render them more fir, than he feared they now were, to hear emancipation. The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQIJER. and Mr. EDEN explained. Mr. P. MOORE, however ftrongly he had advo cated the abolition, was again(' immediate emanci. pation. The abolition would ameliorate the condi. Lion of the haves, by forcing the Weft India planters to treat them well, and they would ultimately be prepared to receive freedom. He hoped llve N o bl e Lord would withdraw his motion, that he wottd turn his mind to the objeft with deliberation, and look at it remotely. Mr. MANNING was proceeding to Rate the rt. Cult of his experience in the colonies, when Sir C. POLE moved that the Houfe be counted —only 35 Members being prelate, the Speaker mediately adjourned the Houfe. THE EVENING STAR, LONDUN.

The details are e;aftly fimilar to the accounts we have already laid before our Readers refpeaing that adiun. The Bulletin is dated Liebfladt, the 21ft ult. but we know from accounts of a more recent date, that the head quarters of the French were afterwards tranf. (erred to Oflerode, and that even there they were not likely to continuelong. This Bulletin is liable to the fame charge to which all the Official Reports have been more or lefsfubjelt, (ince the progrefs of the French was arrefled ; it is occafionally inconfiflent and obfcure. There is an intentional vaguenefs and confuficn in the accounts of the events of the 16th, which convince us that the French obtained no advantage on that day. If they had fo decifively defeated General Vow EssEw as 'they reprefent, why did they not follow up their vie• tory ? Surely the Fifth Divifion of the Grand Army could have nothing to fear from General BENN mug. who was Rated to have been driven acrofs the Preol feveral days before, and who, of courfe, was 4 19 t within one hundred miles of the fcene of aelion.
