" FEBRUARY 9:—On the 4th instant, the enemy wishing to procure provisions from the villages about Dentate, made a sally on the left wing, towards Brentau, bin was immediately received by the Cos sack regiment of Rebritow, and the Ist Baschkir re giment under the command of Major Latschkin ; who, after having very much weakened the enemy, and made some prisoners, notwithstanding his obsti nate endeavours, obliged him to retreat. " At the same time, a strong column of infantry, with a number of cavalry, appeared on our left flank, opposite the village of Nenkau, and at first drove in our advanced posts. A Cossack Chief, named Meini know,- taking advantage of this movement, collected several detachments of Cossacks, rode round the ene my's wing, and falling unexpectedly upon his rear, threw him into total confusion ; the consequence was, that the whole column was cut off from the city, and not a single man returned into the fortress : 600 men were cut down on the spot, and 200 privates, and 73 officers, were made prisoners. 66 Adjutant-General Tschernischeff, with his.de tachment, has taken possession of the villages of Schochan, Friedland, and Flatow. Our victorious troops were every where met by the inhabitants with joy, and acknowledged as their deliverers. Prince Schwartzenberg's corps was, by our motions, forced to retreat ; and on the Bth of February, General Mi loradowitsch took possession of the city of Warsaw. On his arrival at the village of Wilanow, he was met by the Deputies of the Co porations of the Nobility, Merchants, and Clergy, headed by the Prefect, Sub- Prefects, and Mayors of the city, who presented to him bread, salt, and the keis of Warsaw. 66 FEBRUARY W.—Count Wittgenstein states, &at on the 4th and 6th inst. the enemy made two sallies from Dantzic, on our position at Oliva, but were both times driven back. Their loss in the field was very considerable in killed and of prisoners we took two Colonels, 22 officers, and about 300 privates. " On the 6th of February, in consequence of a disposition made by Count 'Wittgenstein, the troops under the command of Major-General Count Sievers marched within range of cannon-shot of the fortress of Pillau, and threw up batteries. Count Sievers, in the name of the King of Prussia, summoned the Commandant of the town to surrender. 66 The French General Castelle, on the declaration of the Commanding Officer of the Prussian troops, I who fot med a part of the garrison, that in case of resistance, he should act in favour of the Russians, and as 800 inhabitants were seen ready to support this declaration, called a Council of War, abd on the 7th February, signed a Convention, in consequence whereof, on the Bth inst. our troops took possession of Pillau, under the loud rejoicing of the inhabitants. 66 On the 10th February, a solemn Thanksgiving was rendered to ALMIGHTY GOD, in the Church, at the head-quarters in the town of Plock, at which his Imperial Majesty was present." [The St. Petersburgh Gazette contains a letter from Prince Kutusow of Smolensko, to her Excel lency Anna Neketischna Naryschkin, ownez of the village of Tarutino, which was distinguished by a glorious victory obtained by the Russian troops over the enemy. The Field-Marshal requests that the en trenchments thrown up at that village against the French may remain to future times, •ts sacred memo rials to the Russians of the valour of their forefathers.] PLOZK, FEBRUARY 6. To-day his Majesty the Emperor of all the Rus sias arrived here, as the head of all the Guards, and a division of the 3d corps of Grenadiers, forming to lethbr 28,000 men. Unanimous acclamations of joy accompanied his entry. However great their enthu siasm, their surprise was still greater, for it was ge nerally asserted in Poland, that if the French army had greatly suffered in the retreat by the power of the elements, the Russian army, which was near its dissolution before that epoch, had been entirely de stroyed by the same causes. After this, the coup flail which was presented by the entrance of the Guards, approached to magic, and the inhabitants were for cibly struck on seeing '20,000 infantry of so excellent a descriptions for the French accounts had incul cated that the whole of the Russian infantry was COM . plata/ destroyed. The House having resolved itself into a Committee to consider of the above plan, on the motion nt the Right Hon. Member with whom it had originated, Mr. HUSKISSON rose and observed, that how• ever he might have regretted the necessi.y that had existed for the postponement of the question now brought before the House, he was, nevertheless, fully sensible that considerable advantage would be likely to come from that circumstance, inasmuch as it had given Gentlemen time to study it more atcurately, and to increase the probability that it would receive a temperate and dispassionate discussion. In rising to submit his statements to the House, he would can. didly confess that he had never addiessed them on any former occasion under the pree•ure of so much anxiety as he felt at this moment--noi growing out of any apprehension he entertained that he should now tail of experiencing that indulgence which he had always been accustomed to receive at their hands, but. from a distinct perceptini of the immense im portance of the subject on which he was about to comment, and a ccnsciousness of his inability to de velope thnrolghly, even to his own mind, tae fearful consequences tallith were likely to result G-an the adoption of the measure ii; contemplakn. But tl•ere vi..s another excuse of his perplexity, arising out of the subject it:7eif. It was ,me c:1-tainly w!urh, viewed in all its possi'olc corsewiences, was of the greatest importance, as it would affect a si.ite of war or one of peace, in its bearing on our internal prosperity or our external greatness. He woe. d Neti:u re to affirm, that none of superior importance had ever been dis cussed within the walls of Pal Lament but i: was also a subject of very considerable intricacy—one a hick required much more clearness and perspicuity to rea der it intelligible, than he was able to infuse itico it; but also one which would render any portion of their time which he might occupy of less cons:illience to the House, inasmuch as the little knossledgi: had by most persons concerning it, would preclude the eu f isi. bility of any very protracted discussion. Bt,t, he felt that he would be guilty of a defalcation in he; duty, if he were to let it pass without claiming fur it some share of that public attention which had been so pain fully engrossed on a subject of a most unpleasant nature—one which, he trusted, would never again be agitated within the walls of that House, and the agitae tion of which without those walls, he trusted, th e m o s t effectual means would be resorted to check and sip. press. In an anxious wish to this effecr,lte-was satisfied that every man to whom the honour and general cha racter of the country were dear, would juin. It would be highly unjust, were he to proceed to the examina tion of the question without fiat acknowledging the courtesy and kindness which he had experienced from his Right Hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exche quer, in the course of his endeavours to render him self master of it. He had allowed him to have access to his various calculations, had not even refused him his personal assistance towards obtaining a thorough comprehension of them, and he now trusted that he would not for a moment believe that in opposing his opinicns he was actuated by a mere desire to throw difficulties in the way of his arrangements, or doubt that his only motive was a sense of public duty. It surely was of the last necessity that a plan should be -thoroughly sifted before it was adopted; if, as he would affirm to be the case, its adoption would cause the people of this country to incur the risk of losing the entire fruits of the sacrifices of twenty years--a plan which, if the war should continue, it was more than possible, it was extremely probable, would uta terly subvert that public credit which, during the course of the arduous struggle in which we h al been engaged, had proved the chief defence and support of the country. But this was not the only point in which he will endeavour to prove how exceptionable the measure was to the satisfaction of the House-- The benefits accruing from an unshaken public credit
