PURTHER EXTRACTS. OPERATIONS OF WAR ON THE LOWER ELBE. After the Grand French Army, (including the Division of General Grenier, amounting to 20,000 men, which in the beginning of January had hastened from Italy to its support,) had been reduced by seve ral severe engagements with the Cossacks to abort 18,000 men, and quitted Berlin to lay the basis of future operations, in a more solid manner, somewhere or other behind the Elbe--but where, they themselves do not well know—General Mound, who kept pos session of Swedish Pomerania with about 2500 men, and who, according to his. first instructions, was to have maintained himself there at all events, put him self in march to follow the Grand Army; whose left wing he formed under the name of the Army of Po. merania. On his march he was joined by the Cus tem-house Officers established there, and who wished! to avoid any unpleasant collision with the inhabitants, who had shewn them proofs on many occasions, that they did not consider it as a very high crime to mal treat, or even kill, Custom-house Officers : the moun ted Custom-house Officers formed the cavalry of Mo-, Land's corps ; this cavalry was about 50 men strong. The artiilery consisted of 18 pieces. The Russian Colonel, Baron von Tettenborn, Marched with -his corps in the direction of Ham burgh; his vanguard was at Lunenberg, when Mo. rand, on the 15th March, entered into Molln. Some parties of Cossacks that had been detached in front, and who appeared opposite Molln, caused the army of Pomerania Of halt, and induced General Morand to remain there for the day, and in the night to march to Bergedorf, where he was met by the 11th Military Division, and the Custom-house officers stationed in Hamburgh. General Morand made a feint of march. ing from Bergedorf to Hamburgh, but was prevented by the Danish troops ; 3000 men of whim, with a numerous artillery, were stationed on the borders, to Maintain their neutrality. It now appeared to be General Morand's intention to take a position in Bergedorf and the Vierlanden, and for this purpose garrisoned Eschenburg, a place situated a German mile towards Lauenburg, with SOO men and eight pieces of artillery. From Eschen burg to Bergedorf it is one continued defile, where cavalry was totally useless, and from this defile to the Elbe it is a tnorassy country, cut through with innu merable canals; and possibly General Morand had calculated on being able to keep this post; but the re. giments of Cossacks pushed forward by Lieut.-Colonel benckendorff, commander of the yang uard j fell in with the enemy, when some volunteers immediately dis mounted, and continuing skirmishing, kept the enemy employed till late in the night. The enethy was not spaiirg of his cannon-shot, and answered every bur r 4 of the Cossacks with a tire of grape-shot. Mean while a detachment of Cossacks were sent by a bye road to Bergedorf, who had driven the enemy's pic quets into the town, and put every thing in alarm. After three such attacks, General Morand deemed the whole position untenable, and, at break of day, he marched to the custom-house store, from whence ail 4,he baggage had, in the course of the night, been rent ka !vs! s the Elbe. Colonel von Tetten born immediately caused the enemy to be pursued 1 from b rgedorf as far as Eschenburg; at a mile's dis tance tem the Custom-house store, the enemy made a stood, on a cross-dam and placed a battery of six owns dsainst the only dam by which he could be ap ?reached. The brave Cossacks kept up a fire of nalsketr r , but could makb no impression on the ene -31,y, by a eason of his advantageous situation. Colonel V. a Tettenborn, notwithstanding the apparent disad ,:,ge of the position. then caused a piece of artil-1 kr! , to Ire brourt up. This gun, notwithstanding fee very brisk fire kept np by the enemy with such a superior force of artillery, Reduced a decisive moral effect on the enemy, who retreated with the utmost expedition. The Cossacks pursued him with rapidity, and did not allow him time to carry off the artillery, which was already put on board some *raft. The enemy's convoy escaped in small 'boats, leaving six pieces lif cannon behind them, which the Cossacks immediately made themselves masters of. The day after this fortunate expedition, Colonel Von Tettenlynn entered Hamburgh—the fifth good city of the Great French Empire ; but which had ceased to be a good city, even before the entrance of the Russian troops, and was - merely denominated a city, without any additional title. 8ER.1.114, MARCH 6. Our Gazette of this day contains the following : The departure of the French troops froth this city took place in the night between the 3d and 4th inst. ''kt five o'clock in the morning, they were followed by uiperfal Russian Adjutant General, Commander or .1 Cavalry Corps, and Knight of several Orders, \l. Vnn Tschernicheff, who marched into Berlin.— 'indtr his command, we saw, for the first time in our city, the Colonels Etretnof, Dolon, and Wlasow the' 'id, and the Major Mussin Puschkin. A few hours af terwards, at abort ten o'clock, likewise arrived his Excellency Prince Repiiing, Imperial Russian Ge neral, and Commandant of a Vanguard ; the Impe rial Russian Major General Von Diebitsch ; Major- General Von Benckendorff, and the Cossack General Rodjonoithe 2d. They were followed by some more pulks of Cossacks, a tegiment of Hussars, and one of Dragoons. At noon, between twelve and one o'clock, both in fantry and artillery entered the city. The entry was rerformed in peace and good order, amid a great concourse of people, and the Russian stoops were re ceived with kindness and hospitality. Some of them, and especially the Cossack*, hurried away in pursuit - - ok place in the neighbOaring . -.tally at fiteglitz, from whence the Rt► sent several prisoners intuthis city. • A part of the corps d'arimie, which arrived here yesterday, has again resumed its march early this morning ; and will pursue its further operations. At seven o'clock yesterday evening, a ciciud of smoke arising on our horizon, announced to us the burning of the suburbs and surrounding places of Spandau, contrary to the positive promises and cons given by the Viceroy, only two days ago, that harsh measure should n ot be put in execution, unless in case of the most urgent necessity. BRESLAU, MARCH 3. Our araZette contains the following Address to our fellow-citizens : " The country is in danger. For its defence it is necessary that there should be an immediate reinforce. went of the Army, without expense to the Treasury: Trusting to the love of his subject., the Father of his country has pledged himself. to accomplish this, add _ ioireg by his Chancellor has called out the Voluntem.— Cheerfully will all the youth of the nation, capable of bearing arms, ohq the call. Inhabitants o f: the Mark, and oiSilesia.c4Prussia, and of Pomerania, united by the common band of fidelity to their King and the national honour, will flock with emulation to the standard, and with shouts of "Frederick William, and Prussia our country," brave every danger. " Those, who by their employments, or by bodily feebleness, are prevented from joining, will lament that they cannot share in the danger . and the honours yet may these display their patriotism, and partici pate in the glory of our warriors, if they act in the same spirit, and, from what they possess, contribute what is in their power for the furtherance of the same object, and thus enable the more indigent volunteers mere speedily and effectually to enter on their high destination. In this manner may every citizen co operate in the deliverance of his country. The small Feontributions of the poor, and the larger of the rich, will alike merit the blessing of posterity. We con sider it as our duty, at this moment, when the thought of King and country inspires all hearts, to call our brethren of all conditions, and from all parts of the nation, actively to obey this invitation. The country is in danger, and Frederic William requires from his people their voluntary support. What Prus sian can delay to obey this call with all his power ? The ALMIGHTY will bless the measure: of the best of Kings, and the cheerful zeal of his people ! Peace and independence will render the Pruisian state happy,' and future generations shall learn from our example, to sacrifice every thing for their King and their country.

We present our Readers with the subjoined Pro clantation to the German Nation, with feelings of exultation. The glorious spirit of Insurrection against the French tyranny is now abroad, and stalks with gigantic strides towards the den from which the foul destroyers of the human race hsve so long issued. We find the Germans now calling out for , 4 a war of revenge"-4 , a hunting-war against the French mon ster;" and demanding 64 to hold a criminal court on those plagues, and robbers, and destroyers of nations." These deep-smothered feelings now breaking loose on the sudden, and circulated with rapidity from town to town, and from village to village, may be expected shortly to render all Germany one scene of patriotic insurrection, and to spread into the neighbouring pro vinces of Holland; nor can the Tyrant be certain that he is secured against their influence even by the barrier of the Scheldt. A river may make a very good line of defence against an army, which will afford no protection whatever againt the conwgion of sentiments so powerful, so natural, and so just : " ADDRESS TO THE GERMAN PEOPLE. " Men of Germany, arise ! Take your weapon.. in your hands i The contest is not; for life and death, for property and blood, tor honour, happiness, and liberty. One thing is necessary. A general war of revenge against the arch eat my, a general hunting war against the French monsters. But lose not a moment, go courageously to work, valiantly, justly, and manfully ! Well be gun, and It is accomplished ! No*, at this very ante, we may, if we will, reconquer our former happy, times, solemnize the new birth of the German nation, and hold a criminal court on those plagues, robbers, and destroyers of nations. Now let every one who has complaints to make come forward. From henteforth no roguery will be suffered to pass unpunished. Let the closed wound of the soul weep. Bush tears *ill sum up the spirit of revenge. Sorrow mitigates the pain of departed happiness; no Fret chmen shall hereafter grin with horrid joy at our pains. Let no disgra t eeful act of the enemy, no wickedness, no cruelty com mitted by them remain unpublished; secrecy would now be a crime, meekness a sin, and forgiveness high treason. " In the time of sufferings it was the order of the day to be dumb,to hope and expect. Now that the people are roused, now your amient manhood has returned, it will only be justice to lay open the disgrace of the nation ; its honest anger ; its rage, and Its sacred vengeance. Could we hitherto say what remained of our property ? Nothing belongs to us, neither house, nor wife, nor child, nor even the ground and soil which were the inheri,„ tance of our forefathers ; neither she wages of labour, nor the blessings of harvest, no not even the laws and the Holy Scrip tures. Our houses were turned into lumber rooms In which evil spirits rioted. Our wives and daughters were accounted by the French monsters as mere playthings for their brutal lusts and hellish pleasures ; our young men were every where made fait game to be led and drilled, and taught to oppress other nations ; and our whole country became a nest of robbers end murderers; our carriages furnished the hordes of robbers with the wings on which they soared from one end of Germany to the other. Batas and provision stores were the magazines from which they drew their luxurious suppers, and of our beds they made their tents. We received the destroyers of our happiness as long wished for friends, with hearty welcomes, and like.frlends ac companied then through all dangers. We pitied the fate of war tiacar army with compassion sad mercy, nay even minted mercy to take place of justice. " As if we Germans bad no vilest to bee nation, but merely' perform the part of execetioners, bj murdering each other at the will of. the Frinseh, we took a most tralterous oath against our native country, we assembled in troops and bands, as their guards and warriors, and protected them against their enepiles, guarded them by land and sea, in field and forest gave them shelter and security, when they tested after their murderous deeds, we nursed them to order to enable them to recruit strength, for the perpetration of further crimes; guarded their slumbers, that they might skew their gratitude by inflicting new injuries open us. They revelled in plenty, whilst we pined in went, and wha‘the subtle tormentors had rendered useless from dislike, knavery or the love of destruction was deemed sufficient to ren der us happy for a long time, and then these diabolical monsters boasted of their generodty in- leaving us our eyes to weep ever our misery. " We were forced to celebrate their victories over us with feasts, processions, entertainments, aid illuminations, with vassal services on the ruins and ashes of our habitations, on the dead bodies of our warrices, fallen bravely and honourably in battle, and on the grave of our country. So completely were we sunk in patience and humility, that we clung to and caressed the blood thirsty Tyrant, that we might become our own hangmen 'had executioners. Stupified, cowed, and bewitched, we prided our selves in the degrading honour of being goaded and disgraced in the eyes of nations related to us, and well inclined to Germany. " Under the most happy auspices we commence the war of salvation. We have expiated our old sin of national division by our sufferings in many years of misery; we row know our worst domestic enemies. One spirit animates the whole nation, and wherever the Getman language is spoken there is unity and peace for ever. But a few years back our conquerors were nothing but vanquished and Bying hordes; at all times have our ancestors drove them back over their own border with disgrace. The names of Bin, Ardenach, Masten, Krifeld, Hochstadt, Min den. and Rosbach, sound like the voice of thunder and of PraPhecT. • " Necessity taught the French to conquer, whilst we bad lost the art of defence, the real cause of which has never been dis covered. Cleansed front our sins, manly and German-like, we must break from their hellish chains. We were sunk to the lowest depth, they raised to the highest pitch; they must fall and we must rise, for the eternal system of the world admits of no alternative. " The French art intoxicated with conquest, and this is always followed by defeat. They despise us, and whoever under values his enemy is already beaten. They will not believe that others can have any merit, and thereby make themselves appear little. They estlinate their great exploits by self-love and vanity, attributing them to their own superiority in spirit and courage,' taking accidents for plans, and the otherwise Un-Germanised Generals and Commanders pass with them for our whole people, but which is now, for the first time, entering the lists unfettered. They dream of being for ever in possession of victory, by excel ling In all the arts of war, by puffing their deeds through all the world, and by spreading artfully delusive terrors. They make no allowance of their cunning throwing honour on our open frankness ; of their great feats falling into forgetfulness, that we should sooner have expected the Heavens to fall, than Hell to break out on earth. Our plain and downright minds could not suspect falsehood and deceit in oaths, nor assassination to lurk in peace. They know not their real strength, but merely its de ceitful reflection, and never thought on our much superior, but either ill-employed or nahvbmployed force. Their vanity and folly reckon, calculate on our usual patience for the same slavish continuance ; building new kingdoms on our carelessness and lassitude, and are awaiting patiently the mortal blow. Their arrogance perceives no impediment to the congest of the world, because we good-naturedly omitted laying any in their way. " With mad arrogance they before-hand command us to par ticipate in disgraceful feasts, call our sacred war sedition and re bellion, and banish and punish the most deserving lovers of their country . as worthless criminals. They consider the national war now commencing as a mere play, because we have not for a se ries of years done what we nevertheless could do at any moment. They have no confidence in us—that they have shewa In our Courts of Justice. On our own will the victory depends. In what have these self-praised inconquerable any pre-emlnenee above us T In nought but conceit and arrogance, in sin and evil sonsequences—confusion in their beads, and hen in their hearts• We have the same senses and members as they have, stronger and keener. They cannot fly, cannot live on the air, and go without sleep, and the same breath animates them, their clothing does noligrow on their skins, nor are they born with arms in their bands. They perspire in heat, are benumbed with cold, purish with hunger and thirst, die for want of skip, fall sick with diseases, drown in water, are burnt in Are, suffocate with out air, and bleed to death of wounds. " The only choice now left us is either to perish with the uni versal curse of all ages and nations on us, as enemies to the whole human race, and on our country : or with heroism take up arms against the general destroyer, for our own benefit, and for the general welfare." By the arrival of a Mail from Cadiz, we have received Spanish Papers to the 10th of March.— They inform us that another change hail taken place in the Regency. The Duke del INFANTADO had re tired to make room for the Archbishop of Torino, who is now President of the Regency. General VALE= has been succeeded as Governor of Cadiz by General ALCM, late Governor of Ceuta. All these changes have been occasioned by the bigotry of the lower Clergy refusing to read in their Churches the glorious Decree of the late Cores for abolishing the Inquisition ! If Spain is doomed to be governed by such stupid and ignorant zealots, it will be no easy matter to free her population from the dominion of the French. In the same spirit of hostility to the true interests of their country, the Regency and . the Cones have refused to permit any Russian Auxiliaries to land in Spain. In Catalonia, General LACY has routed a French column, consisting of 7000 men, taking 2000 pri soners, and killing 700. At Alicant, the French have been compelled to diminish their force greatly, by sending off reinforce. ments to other quarters. Sucßrr continues In great force, however, in Valencia. The Spanish frigate Commerce has arrived at Cadiz, from Callao, with one million seven thousand dollars on board,—forty thousand of which belong to Government. ~_ THE EXPEDITION FOR AMERICA. The detention of the Expedition for the Coast of America, now in Plymouth Sound, is repotted to be for the purpose of concentrating and strengthening the squadron.
