_gmensommek . GUITENBURGH MAIL. GOTTENBURGH, APRIL 13 ? The convoy which sailed on the 1 lib, and put back again, his again sailed to-day. 8011 ZENBURG, APRIL 6. The following Address has appeared Sere : TO THE FRENCH GENERALS. • " By the correspondence of General Morand and St. Cyr, I perceive that the most severe measures are intended to be used against the inhabitants of the Hanoverian dominion, who, having been liberated by the victorious arms of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, received in his name orders to consider themselves as the subjects of their lawful sovereign, and who by the express orders of -the Commander of the Russian troops, were obliged to take up arms to de:crid themselves arid their dwelling places. 66 It w.is not in their power to refuse compliance with these orders. A punishment, equally just as severe, would have been the unavoidable consequence of their base : desertion of their duty towards their Sovereign ;send it would undoubtedly be contrary to the laws of nations adopted by all civilized people, should a single Hanoverian subject be considered a rebel, a d treated as such. I will not allow myself to suppose that you, Gentlemen, will permit such an atrocious measure to take place ; but I declare to you, that in all cases I am determined to use repri sals ; and that all prisoners, without exception, which are now, or hereafter may be, in my power, shall be treated witli the same severity as you may spew to wards the inhabitants of Hanover, and that they shall be answerable with their lives for the lives of the lat ter, who, in taking up arms at the express command of the General of the Russian troops, only fulfilled ibeir duty to their King and country. (Signed) Baron Von DORNBIERCL" • • BELTZIC, MARCH St. - - - Yesterday afternoon, the Russian General of Ca valry Count Wittgenstein arrived here, and took up his head-quarters for the present. The following is the proclamatinn which was yesterday issued here Sazous-1 enter your country either to snake I war upon, or to fight in conjunction with you, for your freedom and the restoration of your degraded! honour. Choose ! your choke may place your Crown in danger, and cause your children to blush for the conduct of their fathers ! 44 Look and see what passes around you! See the - noble Prussians, your neighbours. The whole nation has risen in mass ;—in their ranks the son of the ploughman is found by the side of the Prince ; all difference of ranks is mingled together, and disap pears in the great ideas of liberty, honour, King, and ountry. There is Ito other difference of talents and of zeal in the great and sacred cause. Liberty or death I is the word which Frederick William has! given ; and solemnly has his while magnanimous' zeople sworn to conquer, or fall worthily of such a Saxons—Germans—Our pedigrees, our family 4;ci,n.ters close-with the year 1812. The deeds of our `lance -,. .crs are cancelled by the humiliation of their' t ilesceudalts. The restiTation of Germany can alone tenov.:te the nobility pi the race, and restore itlo its original splendour. (Signed) " COUNT WITTGENSTEIN. He;,4l-quartirs, March 31."_ TriE EVENING STAR.

(PRIVATE LETTER.) 41 There is no farther information of the alliance between Austria and Russia ; though it was form ally announced here, in a most positive manner, by a German Prince in the Russian service: it is, how. ever, generally believed. Reports are also spread to-day, that the King of Saxony has declared against France. From the Army we have no news of any event of importance since the victory of the sth, near Magdeburg. The French have left Luneburg, but it is not positively known why. It is certain that they had no appearance of intending to leave it when a letter was brought by a French Officer to General Montbrum, who commanded there ; and who, after reading it, started up, boat his forehead, and ex claimed—" 4h, gad malheur!" and shortly gave an order to march, first publishing a proclamation to the inhabitants, expressing his satisfaction with their conduct, relieving 100 hostages, and declaring hse would shortly return, when he hoped the peopl4 of Luneburg would cease to fear the French.- --A private letter received this morning, which I have seen, brings the news that a second most brilliant ♦ictory has been gained near Magdeburg. That on 1I the first day some thousand prisoners were taken, and on the second the French totally beaten, the Viceroy wounded, and the Prince of Eckmuhl either killed or taken prisoner. No official news of this kind has yet been received here—though Tettenborn has declared that he is in expectation of most important news. —The Russians and Prussians are now advancing in all directions. Alexander and the King of Prussia will probably be soon at Dresden. Wittgenstein has! passed the Elbe at Dessau. General D'York was ate Brandenburg, and at Domstz it is said a considera ble corps is already passed, with orders to advance till they meet with the French. The Cossacks are, without doubt, within ten English miles cf Bremen. Lieutenant-Colonel Estoff is here•raising an English Legion of Hanoverians, to consist of a Regiment of Hussars, and a Regiment of Chasseurs on foot. " A solemn 7e I)eum has been sung at Bremen and Wesel, on account of the decisive victory gained on the 4th of Apia by General Morand over the Rus sian and Prussian troops. Serenity in suffering is decorous and la . udable ; but to blazon and trumpet forth a chastisenient as a particular favour, is the summit of impudence. • • It is seldom that any one is beaten so completely as Morand was, for the whole col ps was de:sr-sled suddenly and unexpectedly, like a man struck with the apoplexy. Yet in Wesel and Bremen Te I)eum is celebrated : perhaps they think ;it Wesel and Bremp, hippy is he who dies in such troublesome times, and thank Goy that he has been pleased to take the whole body to himself." " BERLIN, APRIL 8. General Blucher has removed his lw.t.:luarters from Freyberg to Chemnitz ; his further distination is unknown. "It is now known with certainty, that ti F tissian army in Germany will be brought to the Amber of f 350,000 mcn. CountTolstoi, formerly Amb:tssadar t Paris, has already passed Kiees with 100,000 men, among whom are many Cossacks from the Ural. " It is said, that 600 men of the garrison of Glo gau have been cut off from the rest in a late sally. "The Saxon infantry has retired, by order of their King, from Dresden to Torgau, and the cavalry to Plauen. " On next Palm Sunday solemn Thanksgivings' will be put up in all the Churches of the Capital for the first gloridus victory of the united troops of their Russian and Prussian Majesties, at Luneburg, and for the second of his Majesty's troops at Moeckeon." " BERLIN, APRIL 10. 46 Yesterday afternoon his Excellency Count Pla.! toff, Heimann of the Cossacks, arrived here with 6 or 8 pulks of Cossacks excellently Mounted, sand.se. veral batteries of flying artillery. His Excellency took up his quarters in the Palace of Count Sacken, which was prerared for his reception, and is sand ; there from the Royal kitchen and cellar. 66 The General, Wilson, is gone to Potsdam; and the English Colonel, Macdonald, to Kalisch. _ _ " The French have retired from Dessau to Calbe, 1 'bchincl the Saale. Their chief force seems to extend 1 from Magdeburg to this place. Davoust commands I the separate ccrps in the Alt-Mark and Luneburg.; I - load:ties are already begun liefore Stettin. The besieged are not happy in their sallies, which are always vigorousiy repulsed. The desertion is consi- derable, bec.!ttie the garrison receives no pay. 'l'lle 1 French Governor croceeds with extretre tyranny -1 he lays on exorbitit'nt contributions-1-1 of the most 1 considerable burghers are imprisoned. “ Our Paper contains the following letter from the Head-qtvirters of General Count Von Wittgenstein,. to M. de l'Es!ocq, Military Cowl-el of t'zi.: country between the Elbe and the Od:r t.--n. li Heatl-quavers, Zee) 3t, 7th April, IRI3. it J hasten humbly to inform your Excellency of the happy occurrences of the :5h of April, with the intent of relieving tile good citizers of Berlin from • • - the dread and fear they entertained of possibly again seeing the enemy within their walls. General Von Borstell, with his detached corps, had already advanced as far as Wahlitz, for the pur pose of surrounding Magdeburg on the right bank of the Eibe i but alt the Sid of April, being attacked by a superior force, he (according to his previous in structions) retreated back to Nedlitz, but covered the roads to Burg and Gommern by Cossacks. On the sth of April the enemy obliged General Von Borstell to fall back to Gevina (on the road to Gortzke), and forced the Cossacks past Lutskau, and towards Burg. gs As I had received certain information that the Vice Roy of Italy commanded this expedition •in person, and pith a Corps d'Armee of four divisions, about 22,000 or 24,000 men strong,• among which welt 3000 cavalry and 40 pieces of artillery, he not only caused the country round Magdeburg to be plundered (on the right bank of the Elbe), but like wise, not knowing that my corps was so near him, intended making an attempt upon Berlin. I deter• mine,' on attacking him with my whole strength, to drive him back with my entire force. For this pur- pose, on the 4th April, I concentrated the force of Gensial Von York near Zerbst, that of Lieutenant. General Von Berg at three German miles from thence, in the village of. Lictzo, and fixed my head. quarters at Zerbst. I directed General Von Borstell, and likewise General Von Bulow, who had so early as the 4th April, arrived at Ziesar, to push as far forward as the enemy would permit ; but that they should on the sth, when they would be informed by a cannonade of my having commenced an attack, fall on the enemy with the greatest impenpsity. " On the sth, in the morning, Lieutenant-General Von York's corps advanced to Leitzkau ; and that of Lieutenant-General Von Berg, to Ladeburg. 64 Lieutenant-General Von Borstell had advanced towards Meckern, and Lieutenant-General Von Bu low to Hohenzlez. At two o'clock in the afternoon Lieutenant-General Von York was obliged to send a van-guard towards GOmmern, and Lieutenant-Gene ral Von Berg to do the same to this place. " The first van-guard came up with the enemy near Danegkow, and after a brisk cannonade, forced them to quit that place with a considerable loss ; whereupon I caused the corps of Lieutenant-General Von York, and that of Lieutenant-General Von Berg, to follow the van-guard, which were already engaged, and make a vigorous attack on the enemy. 44 Generals Von Borstell and Bulow did the same on their side, the first advancing to Zchdenuk, and the latter to Vehelitz ; which places were in the ene my's possession, but who was dislodged from thence by the valour of our troops. .s-The resistance , nf tux enemy. wlio had the advan. 1 4 4- tage of the ground, was every where very obstinate, but nevertheless forced at all points to yield to the bravery o 4 our troops, and it was only by the dark ness coming on that an end was put to the engage ment, and prevented us from following up this glo rious victory. 4 ; I cannot sufficiently express to your Excellency my approbation of the Imperial Russian and Royal Prussian troops. The Lithuanian regiment of dia. goons, aid two squadrons of the hussars of the Body Quaru, cut down a regiment of the enemy's cavalry ; ttte rest were taken or disperaed. The Grocino hus sars did the same by a se6and regiment. The tirail 'curs of the brave battalion of Pomeranian grenadiers tyl: one cannon. In all, five powder-waggons were taken ; 27 Officers and 900 soldiers made prisoners. General Grenier and General Grundler are .vounded. 'the loss of the enemy in killed and wounded cannot be less than 2000 men. We have one Officer killed, seven wounded, and 560 men killed and wounded. The enemy did not make and keep a single prisoner: one Cossack, made prisoner, delivered himself, and brought with him a horse he had taken. 44 On the 6th, about noon, I again sent a body of infantry and cavalry in search of the enemy, who, during the night, had already retreated on all points; our search was in vain, as the enemy, in his retreat to Magdeburg, has even abandoned the defiles by Walt. Litz and Alt-Clus, and thrown down all the bridges. At present I cause erftr‘ncliments to be thrown up by Clus, Keenigsborn, and other places, in order to enable Lieutenant General Von Bulow to blockade Magdeburg with all possible security on this side. (Signed) ‘ 4 F. D'ANVIIAY, " la the name of the Count of WI I TGENSTEIN." Baron Dontisetta, who commands a corps of Rus sians and Prussians, and is a Major General in the service of Great Britain, was the officer who obtained the victory over General MORAND. The charge of • revolutionizing Hanover seems to have been entrusted to this gallant officer, and he has certainly given ad mtrable proofs of his talents for such an enterprise. Among other loyal and patriotic effusions, he has published a Proclamation, threatening instant retalia ticn for any loyal Hanoverians who may be put to death by the vile miscreants who still infest their country, This assassination of unarmed inhabitants who dare to chew their hatred to the French, was long practised in Spain ; and it was only abandoned when LoNGA and MINA, and some other heroic leaders, put to death 4n Frewheita, for every Patriot so murdered. —The brave Doatiestuo ought to have this dreadful but necessary example before his eyes.
