ALEXANDER; [ln a second proclamation, the Emperor Alexander announces his intention to erect in the capital of his empire a Church dos* cated to Jesus Caitivr, in gratitude for the favour of DivaNt PnoVincucc. An Address to the Army, issued by Marshal Kutusoff, simi lar to what has already appeared, enjoins the observance of the most rigid discipline, and the most friendly conduct toWards the Prussians. Then follow two Reports of the 9th and 10th January, from that General, which have been already given. Here also are inserted intercepted returns of the 4th French Volt[gents and 6th Tiraillieurs. The former when it left Smo- Insko, consisted of 32 officers and 427 privates, of whom there remained under arms on the I 6th December, only 10 officers and T 9 privates. The latter, consisting of Si officers and 300 privates, Mustered, on the 31st December, only 14 officers and 10 privates.] St. Petersburgh, January 29. MY LORD I have the honour to inclose a journal of the movements made by the several corps of his Imperial Majesty's army, from the 4th January to the 20th January. Your Lordship observe, that by the rapid advance of the corps on the right, the enemy has been driven beyond the Vistula ; the Rus sian troopsbeing in possession of Elbing, Marienberg, Marienwerder, and Neuenberg. The corps from Elbing and Marienberg, being drawn from the Nogat, attempted to make a stand at the tete-du-pont at Derschag, but were soon com pelled to abandon it, and retired, part upon Dantzic and the remainder upon Stargardt, still pursued by the Russians. It appears, that the troops stationed in Dantz;c, advanced to the Pregel, to favour Mar shal Macdonald's retreat ; and that they made no resistance at Elbing, having abandoned their artil lery before their arrival at that place. The attack upon Marienwerder seems to have been nearly a sur prise ; and Beauharnois is said narrowly to have es caped being made prisoner. There is no report of the surrender of Pillau. On the 13th of January the Emperor crossed jie Niemen near Moretz, amid the acclamations of his brave troops, and has continued to march with a divi sion of his army, in a western direction, through Ber juiki, Krasnople, and Subalki to Lique, whence the last dispatches are dated. Generals Milaradovitch and Dokteroff, with the troops which crossed the frontier at Grodno, move in a- line parallel to that of the Emperor, on his left ; and General Sachen's co lunin is still farther to the left. There are also inter mediate corps to keep up the communication between each of these columns. The Austrians remained upon the Bug, probably with a view to create a diver sion in favour of the army retiring upon Dantzic, as long as their own line of retreat may remain open. Graudentz has a Prussian garrison. The Russians have uniformly been received by the inhabitants of the Prussian dominions as friends and deliverers, of which there is ample testimony in all private letters from the army, as well as in public reports. The retreat of the French through Prussia has, like that from Moscow, been marked by the abandonment of maga nines, tumbrils, and other stores. Berthier, Victor, Macdonald, Darn, and Beauharnois, ale named among the Generals who are gone to Dantzic. The precise force in that place does not appear to be clearly ascertained ; but cannot easily be estimated at more than half the number of an adequate garrison. The intercepted courier from Bonaparte to Berthier, is said to have carried orders to complete the provisions of Dantzic for a long siege. The service upon the Vistula appears to have been very ably performed, and I have enclosed a copy of the thanks that have been given to General Count Platoff, and the officers and Hoops under his command, in general orders. The intense cold has continued, and the marches of the columns have been long and severe. I have, &c. (Signed) CATHCART. Here fellows a journal of the operations from the 4th to the 20th of January, the substance of which has been already given from the Gottenhurgh EXTRACT FROM TIIE JOURNAL OF MILITARY OPERATIONS OF THE RUSSIAN AItNIY. General Platoff informs, under date of the Gth of January, that the Prussians receive our troops in a friendly and open manner, and provide them willingly with },revisions, and their horses with torage, for winch we give them receipts. In return for their good conduct, the most rigorous discipline and sub ordination are observed, to the great satisfaction of the inhabitants. When General Chernicheff entered Marienw•erdhr on the 12th of January, the Viceroy of Italy and Marshal Victor were scarcely able to escape from the C9ssacks. General La Pierre, four officers, rzlk! 200 men were made prisoners; likewise a cou. vier, c7:l:edited by Napoleon to the Prince of Neuf chatel, with dispatches. Gn the road to Nuenberg Lieutenant-Colonel A drianeff, in pursuing the enemy, met a squadron of Baden, destroyed it almost entire ly, and took 47 prisoners.

T4l-: LORD—In a former dispatch I had the honour to enclose a journal of reports, received at head quarters, to the 13th nit. with the addition of the im portant news of the capitulation of Memel,, and con vention of the Prussian part of the corps under Mar nal Macdonald. The particulars cf this transaction lave not been published, but nothing can exceed the y.y manitested by the Prussians on finding themselves ac liberty to embrace the Russians, and to renew their former habits as companions in arms ; of this there is the most certain evidence. The terms granted to the Prussians are extremely liberal. A detached corps, under General Mussenbach, was included, in the event that orders could reach him: these orders were to time, and, with the addition of the corps in ques tion, the Prussian troops included in the convention, it is stated to me, amount to 15,000 men. Marshal Macdonald, however, availed himself successfully of ll't:itagern, and, while treating for conference, had iacle progress in removing the remainder of his force tithe direction of Labiate. He was closely pursued dining the night from the Ist to the 2d inst. and. lost la prisoners; but reports being received of a French ':ceps in force at Wehlau, it became necessary to di. net the attention of the principal part of the pursuers to an attack open that post. 'Te occupation of Konigsberg by the Russian army is detailed in two short bulletins, which have been published, and which I have the honour herewith to enclose. His Imperial Majesty has been occupied in forming a new distri bution of his army, which is divided into several corps, which are advancing in different columns. I learn with satisfaction, though not officially, that a very considerable corps is entrusted to Baron Win zingerode, and that he has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-General. The Emperor moved in the night of the 7th of January from Wilna, to join the division which com p re h en d s t h e guar d s , and the head-quarters of the whole army were at Metz CS the 10th of January ; it was thought they would continue there for a day or two. The Aus trians under Prince Schwartzenberg had retired from 13ialistock, and were near Warsaw, burnot in force to render it probable that they wculd contend with the superiority that might be opposed to them. Zam brow is said to be fortified and garrisoned ; but I do not conceive that any disposable force upon the Vis tula can be adequate to the defence of the tetes-du pont and fortresses on that river, especially where ac tive operations can take place upon both banks. The Emperor remained 16 or 17 days at Wilna, where his Imperial Majesty issued many regulations and decrees, for the restoration of order in various pro vinces which have suffered, and for prevention of disease from the infection of prisoners, and from the number of dead bodies and quantity of carrion still above ground. In the neighbourhood of Wilna, six teen thousand corpses are piled up in heaps, for the purpose of being consumed by fire, when sufficient wood can be procured ; but numbers'still remain un collected in the roads and villages; and the morta lity in the hospitals at Wilna continues to be very great. The Emperor repeatedly visited all the hos. pitals. Te Deum was sung in the Cathedral, in pre sence of the Court, on New Year's Day, in thanks giving for the expulsion of the French from the Rus. scan territory, on which occasion the proclamation, of which the enclosed is a translation, was read ; to which I have also to add, the general order given out to the army at Wilna, on the 2d of January, by Prince Kutusoff Smolensko.—l have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) CA THCA RT. P.S. I add the states, found at Wilna, of two re giments of the French guard, by which the condi tions of the others may be inferred. THE EVENING STAR LONDON.

Marshal NEY, who was signalized by the Emperor as one of those Generals who e , had stood the test" of the frightful climate of Russia, has been created Prince of Moskwa ! Lest the world should suppose that his master has put a barren sceptre in his grasp, be it remembered, that the principality of Moskwa is situated not in Russia but in Italy ! The Castle and demesnes of Rivoli, in the latter country, have been metamorphosed into the Lordship of Moskwa. His Majesty's Ship INSOLENT has arrived at Tor. bay, with dispatches from Admiral Lord KEITH, dated on board the Squadron in Basque Roads.— These accounts arc understood to state, that nearly the whole of the crews of the ships of war in the French harbours have been landed, and marched to the interior to recruit the army. Mails from Corunna and from Cadiz arrived this morning. The preparations for opening The cam. paign OR a grand scale continued, and the French are evidently making ready for a retrograde movement : King JOSEPH has left Madrid for Bayonne. The fol lowing are extracts from the Spanish papers brought by the above Mails : " CORUNNA, FEBRUARY 19. . " The French, to the number of 800 infantry and 250 horse, entered, on the 14th, into Astorga, la Ba nena, and other towns. It is also reported that it is their intention to come to Villa Franca. It is believed to be false, and that their object is to extort money." " CORUNNA, FEBRUARY 2.0. g , It is currently reported that a number of French have assembled in Salamanca and its vicinity, and to this it is attributed that the English and Portuguese who were in Braganza, under orders to proceed into Castile, have not advanced. It is also said, that from the same cause the head-quarters of the Mar quis of Wellington have gone to Freneda, which had set out for Ciudad Rodrigo." " OVIEDO, FEBRUARY 6. " They write from Llancs, that the French who occupied Santander and 'Torre la Vega, evacuated those places on the Ist, carrying away what they had plundered from the inhabitants of all the villages in La Montana. The direction of their march was towards Reynosa." " OVIEDO, FEBRUARY 10. de There are reports that there has been an encounter towards Talavera, between the troops of General hill and the French. " King Joseph was preparing to march for France on the 26th of last month, announcing in a procla mation to the people of Madrid, that the motive of his journey was not the defeats in the North, but in order to assist at a Congress at Bayonne. During his absence Soult commands. ~ In the vicinity of the Guadarama 200 French n IFI . _ Made died out of the 2000 who went to Madrid with General Drouet. " They write from Lugo, that the Marquis of Wel lington was already there with his army, and tha: he would immediately open the campaign, which must produce events of great importance to the common cause. Anew regulation has been made in our armies, agreed on between the Government and the Duke of Ciudad Rodrigo." " ALICANT, FEBRUARY 3. " The enemy have begun to concentrate their forces and withdraw their artillery, but still making 'incursions with small parties on the intermediate points between the two lines, and ravaging a country which they must abandon as soon as operations com mence." " MEN, FEBRUARY 10. et In Almodova are the hussars and regiment of Calatrava, with 300 Catalonians, and in Carolina the l other troops which compose the van-guard, which is Irish, and the regiment of Catalonians under the command of Brigadier Falqucz." " ALMADEU DE L'AZOQUE, JAN. VI. " The French continue in the same positions, making great exactions of all kinds of provisions, which they sell to raise money." " MURCIA, JANUARY 243. " It is generally supposed the French will evacuate Valencia, but nothing is known with certainty. Our cavalry which had proceeded to Lorea to rest itself, is but in ill condition, as there are no provisions for either men or horses." " CADIZ, FEBRUARY 10. " It is reported that the French abandoned Madrid on the 3d inst. committting a thousand excesses. " We are assured, that a Proclamation from the intrusive King, in which he takes leave of his beloved subjects of Madrid, on account of the necessity he is in of proceeding to assist his august Brother, has arrived in this place. It exhorts them, during his absence, to preserve order, peace, tranquility, and love for his person. " By the high road of Cabrillas have passed to wards Valencia about 10,000 men, with 11 , pieces of artillery, and 7000 sheep. They had previously made, in the Quintanar, an exaction of 300,000 reals and 2000 bushels of wheat, and the same in propor- Lion from the other places in the neighbourhood." " CADIZ, FEBRUARY 16. " Our campaign is expected to open early next .nonth, and surely the prospect was never brighter. Our army of reserve will shortly be respectable, and we must ultimately succeed. " A change of Regency is said to be determined on : various are the opinions rt.specting the persons likely to form the new one ; the majority, however, think the election will fall upon the Cardinal of Bourbon, Garue, Herrero, and Theron : the two latter are deputies in the Cortes ; the first for Ame rica, the other for Old Spain. " By the Spanish frigate Vinzanza, from Havan nah, we have received 1,0.19,997 dollars, and some effects. " CADIZ, FEBRUARY 17. C 4 lhe Americans, and Greeks from the Black Sea, arrive in great numbers : provisions promise to be down to nothing; and as the American Govern ment have not been able to prevent their ships sailing with provisions for the Peninsula, brother Jonathan continues to carry large supplies of wheat, flour, and rice. Flour is now without a price, and every store in Cadiz piled up to the top. It. is now three p. m. And six Americans in sight." " CAROLINA, FEBRUARY 7. 46 According to a person from Madrid, which place' he left on the 28th ultimo, the equipages were pro ceeding by the road of Alcala, and no one doubted the speedy retreat of the French. He adds, that from Burgos to Madrid there was not an enemy's garrison. gc An express has arrived with the information, that on the sth the isltrusibire King slept at Villa Robledo, and that with his escorts of 5000 infantry and about 2000 horse, marched towards Valencia; that in the whole of La Mancha there scarcely remained 5000 French, including the garrison of Toledo ; and they had, for the last time, exacted in all the province a contribution of 13,000,000 of reals." " JAEN, JANUARY 29. ig The troops remain in the same points. We are assured that General Friere's cavalry ware, on the 44th inst. in Cuadex, and that Wittingham's division was to march to Grenada, and from thence to . . . " JANUARY 30.—The day before yesterday set out, from this place, for Martos, all the artillery belonging to the army ; and that from Consuegra proceeds to Grenada. Every day provisions and money become more scarce. The army has not yet received half " BUGA, JAN. 18. 66 We are assured that General Sarsfield has pass ed the Ebro, and that Gen. Mina was in Barbastro." " ELCHE, JAN. 26. " We expect General Murray from England, to take the command of the allied troops, which already amount to more than 30,000 men. The enemy's army does not exceed 14,000." A letter from Anholt, via Leith, has been received, which affords str.mg to - ounds to hope that the Rus sians arc in possession of Berlin and Warsaw. The same letter adds, that a general rising was expected in the North of Germany. '1 he report that Denmark h id joined the Swedes and Russians against France, is repeated in the same letter.
