extend as far as &an h larow. The lei of recruits goys on with the greatest activity ; great numbers of them arrive from all parts to complete the regiments of the line and light cavalry. Every preparation is snaking for putting Thorn in a state of defence.— Th e garrison of that place, which consisted of 12,000 French, has been reinforced- by 3000 Bar-mauls.— The command of this garrison is given to the Polish General Woyezinski. BERLIN, FEBRUARY IL A great number of French Generals arrive here every day, and afterwards take the road to Magde. burg, Leipzig, Bruuswit k, Mayntz, Bcc. acc. His Highness the Prince of Sayn Wittgenstein, Grand Chamberlain to his Majesty, and Chief of the Higher Police, departed yesterday for Breslau. POSEN, FEBRUARY 6. According to the last letters from Frankfort upon the Oder, a great number of men and horses are al ready united in that town, and in the rural com munes on both banks of the Oder. Medicines arrive in abundance. Whilst those cares occupy the General Staff, we endeavour, but uselessly, to penetrate the intentions of the Russian Army. One day it is thnught, from its movements, that it intends ap proaching the Vistula, and crossing that river; some parties even shew themselves upon the left bank : the following day new reports indicate that it is marching in the direction of Warsaw, giving reason for supposng that it is against the Austrian, &axon, and Polish corps, that the efforts of the enemy are directed. What we know for certain is, the presence upon the line of the Niemen of the greater part of the Russian forces, and of the extreme need they have for refreshing themselves. The epidemia con tinues its ravages throughout all this line. Old Prussia is already inundated with bills deli vered by the Russians in exchange, rather than as payment for the immense supplies demanded for the military magazines. The isolated military also give bills in their lodgings. The inhabitants to_ whom payment in specie had been solemnly promised, are as little astonished, but there is no hesitation with s.lch protectors. _ A Misunderstanding between the Russian Gene rals is talked of. One would be justified in believing it from the irresolution which characterises their operations. It has been remarked,' that General IVittgenstein avoids being upon the same point with General Kutusow. The announcement of the ar rival of the one is always the signal for the departure cf the other. Numerous reinforcements of troops, and many Ge nerals, arrive here. Several companies of sappers are arrived from the Order. The troops who fought against the R.:ssians having recovered from their fa tigues, are anxious to appear again on the field of ::.moor. The preparations for war continue without ir,terruption. The last Konigsberg post is not arrived. By what Nee can learn, the Russians send detachments of Cos. sacks on the left bank of the Vistula ; but it is not announced that their infantry and their artillery are moving forward. Their regular troops remain on the right of the Vistula. The Consul is arrived here from Stettin. His Highness the Marshal Prince of Eck :nub' departed from Posen in the beginning of this month. He takes his rr.ute with his corps towards Custrin, b 7. the way of Landsberg. Th e r ep ort o f Thom having been evacuated by the French, and occupied by the Russians, is not confirmed. —The Oaritriv Casette of the 26th; and private letters to the 28th, contain nothing new.

We have at length received the French Papers, w:.lch contain the anxiously expected Speech of Bo .NAPARTE to the Legislative Body. It may be re ga: Jed as the annual Manifesto of the Tyrant—as t' basis or programme of his policy for the year. 2nglAnd—the last asylum of the expiring liberties ar.d independence of the world 1 England—the et,rnum sub fig dore vulmu to this wholesale butcher of l is species ! is again the leading subject of his ha rangue, and throughout he omits no opportunity of iLmouncing this country as the cause of all the dis orders which Ns own interminable appetites have trought upon Europe. Our army he says was wrecked before Burgos, , a d we have been compelled to evacuate Spain.— La; the career of glory of the Imperial Eagles was rot confined to the Scuth of Europe. While these events were passing in Spain, the battles of Ostrowno, Polotsk, Mohilow, Smolensko, Moscow, Malayro slavits--were fought and g.tined by the victorious French arms—and Moscow fell into their power I Here, however, he drops the curtain over the spkadid 'succession of triumphs which he has been •eltbrating. " A swarm of Tartars"—mark the dramatic effect intended by this new appellation be. stewed upon the universal Russian nation —" a swarm Tartars turned their parricidal hands against the Country 'which they had been called to defend."— Here we have an artful attempt to alienate the popu lation of Russia from their Governors, by shewing that the miseries brought on by the conflagrations of - Moscow and other places,. were a series of wanton barbarities committed by the Cossacks, prompted by their ancient hatred of the Muscovites I—Ot a piece with all this is the monstrous lie which is graiely told, that the prosperous state of his affairs was by no tn2ans changed by these lamentable events ! It 15 the premagurs rigour of the winter which broke up }'`' army, and would have broken his heart, 4 , if," as .:t tells 113—." he could have been accessible to any Other • aenrunents, than those of the interest, the glory, and the future ptutperity of his people."—Admiiable special pleading 1--Most ingenious fiction !—His cowardly sialkifice of a hundred thousand men to save his own vile person from the Cossacks is trans formed into a desire to promote the glory and pro sperity of his people ! After proclaiming principles which never can be acceded to—after insisting upon Spain being insepa. rably linked to the French dynasty, he modestly says he desires peace, because 4 , it is necessary to the world," of which, no doubt, he regards himself as the Parent! America, as might have been expected, is congra tulated upon the glorious contest its which she has engaged for the restoration of the maritime rights of Europe.—Can it be doubted, after this declaration, that there has been a secret understanding between NAPOLEON BONAPARTE and JAMES MADDISON, long kept up, and now finally published to the world ? As to the Concordat between NAPOLEON and the Pope, it will be like his treaty with Switlerland. It will be respected as long as suits his own conveni ence, and not a day longer. In the mean time, it speaks a volume in few words. His defeat has been signal and complete, or he would never have paid court to the very Priests which it was his avowed policy to degrade to perfect insignificance. Can they now afford him any aid ? Would they, if it were in their power, use any efforts to exalt the enemy of their order ?—Either NAPOLEON'S usual sagacity has forsaken him on the present occasion, or he finds himself in the situation of a man in deep water with only a straw within his reach, and therefore he grasps at it in the hope that in the interim some contingent may occur by which he may profit hereafter. Various are the reports respecting the foreigner who arrived from Paris last week. We stated that he was understood to belong to the house of PERI GAVE and Co. of Paris, and that it was rumoured that his mission was purely of a commercial kind; some say to vest money in the British funds, the French being very low at this moment. But there are people, and those well informed, who assert that his name is BASSAN, (a person who has been em ployed on political missions before) and that he has had three interviews with Lord CASTLEREAGH since his arrival. From the complexion Of BONAPARTE'S address to the Legislative Body, it is to be inferred that he has, in some way or other, been proposing a negociation with the British'Government, and it is possible that M. BASUN may be an agent for some indirect pro position. Will NAPOLEON be attended to ? In other words, will Ministers negotiate a separate peace ? That such is the mode proposed by BONAPARTE is plain from his address—for in it he says " the French dynasty reigns, and shall reign in Spain !" We think it impossible that Ministers can listen to any overture for negociation, except in concert with our allies, Russia, Spain, and Portugal. A Heligoland Mail, which arrived this morning, brings us the following article: " HELIGOLAND, FEB. 10. " A boat from the other side came in the day be fore yesterday, the Master of which reports, that the Russians are in possession of Dantzic ; his informa tion, however, seems to rest upon mere rumour. It appears that BONAPARTE is very apprehensive of a general insurrection throughout Germany, and has ordered three or four of the opulent people in each town to be sent to Paris, as hostages for the obe dience of. the rest. The conscription is enforced with so much rigour, that in cases where young men have absented themselves, their fathers are seized till they make their appearance. One thousand French sol diers, who lately served under the unfortunate Ge neral Mallet in the Conspiracy at Paris, have been disgraced, and sent disarmed to Bremen. 66 All the young douaniers are ordered to join the Grand Army : they are replaced in their situations by old men. In fact, every exertion is being made by the enemy to make his force effective by the spring." We this morning received Cadiz Papers to the 4th of February, from which we make the following extracts : " CADIZ, FE,BRUARY 1. " By letters from Jaen, of the 29th ult. we are in formed that the French are falling back upon Ma drid, and that our advanced posts have already en tered Manzanares." " GRENADA, JANUARY 24. " It is said that our cavalry, under the command of General Friere. has obtained important advantages over the enemy." 14 ALICANT, JAN. 16. " A large convoy has set out from Valencia for Tortosa, with many effects, and a great number of those persons who came with Soult from Andalusia, escorted by a very respectable force, destined on its return to pursue the unconquerable El Freile.— We do not doubt but what he will repeat the scene of Massuchelle." ALICANTE, JANUARY 18. 4 1 A person of respectability, who has just arrived from Valencia, assures us that the Poles were, in great haste, preparing to march for France." " ALICANT, JANUARY 20. " The combined army continues in its lines without making any movement. The enemy lives upon the subsistence of the unfortunate• inhabitants of this province." NAVAL INTILLICZNCE.

Accounts have been received from Teneriffe to about the middle of January, and from thence we have no information of her : it was thought probable she might have put in there.—As much as from 60 to 65 guineas premium has been offered on her this morning.
