TWEN'TY•NINTH BOLLETIN OP THP GRAND ARMY " Berlin, Nov. 9. 4 , The brigs4e of dragoons commanded by Gene. rat Baer, appeared this day upon the parade. His litafajeffy, to (Lew his fenfe of the good conduilifof the corps, made faveral promotions therein. " • 4 6 A corps of woo dragoons, which had nierdied eirfent with the army, and was mounted from the depot at Potfdam, was reviewed yellerday by Mar. . . . fhal Etffieres i it was afterwards completely etittip ped in the belt Rile—all from the fruits of vill'ory. “ His Majefly has ordered a contributionlitsso Millions, to be levied in the dominions of Praia, sad thofe of her Allies '.•p After the capitulation of the Prince of Hohen. lobe, General Blucher, who was marching the fame route, changed the direftion of his progrefs, and en; sleavoured to join the column of the Duke of Wei. mar, which had ptevioufly joined that of Prince Frederick of Btunfss Irk Ocls, fen of the Duke of ftrunfwick. The three corps were then commanded by Blucher ; loose (mall corps afterwards joined these. For many days the divifion endeavoured to eftalse by theft touter, Which were as yet left open by the 'Prsneb troops; but the combined movements of the Grand Duke of Berg, Marthai Snult, and t h e Prince of Poute-Corvo, effeaually (Nitrated the de. liga. At one time the enemy attempted to throw thensfeives into Anklam, and afterwards into Rof. .tock. Checked in theft endeavours they flied to return towards the Elbe ; but in thisthey were alto prevented, They then advanced direftly towards Luhec. " On the 4th of Wrember, they tout a pith-don at Crevifmulen : e Prince de Note Corso cut of! the rear guard, but mild not make muds impretOos uprn the main body, as he had no more than 6co cavalry, while the enemy were very flrong in that rale& Genital \rattier, in this aftii,n. made three 6ne charges, fi-ported by Generals Paßod and klaifoor, the 27h togiulpt of light infantry. and the srb of o , c line. It worthy of remark, in this &aim that a company of Guides, attached to she 94th regiment, commanded by CApt. Rasout, was furennnded by fame of the enemy's bpadrons, but the French light troops were not difmayed by the Meek of the Pruffisn cuisaiest, they received it and kept up fuck a cod and well direacd fire upon the affailans, that they loon retreated.— This defeription of the French forces sated molt !Se eds/idly wine the PrufGan cavalry throughout the whole mink. The Flatness loft (even pieces of salmon, apd about tOOO men. 4 . But, ou the evening of the 4th, the Grand Duke of Berg, whet was advancing on the right, arrived with his cavalry againft the enemy, whole ultimate objeh Agorae!, as yet, uncertain. Marfbal Souk advanced by Ratsburg, and !he Prince de Ponte• Corm by Rest. They Lay, from the night of the grh to that of the 6th, al Schoenberg, whence Mar. fhal retired at two o'clock in the morning. The Prince advanced to Schlukcp upon the Trave, an :I came up with a corp. of 1.600 Swedes. who At length, though proper to relit/ from I..inKnh"rgli. in erder to embark upon the Tram A few difeberges froin our cannon, however, INfabled the yeah in tended for theieepsbaricatino. The Swedes, rafter a ' Drew of refißance,laid dOwn their awns. 4 convoy of 330 weals, which General Savary haditraced to Wittnar, was attacked in the river by the column under the Prince de Pont e-Corvo, and captured. " In the useanNime the enemy fortified themfelves in Lubec. Martha! Soult ud+anced with fuch rapi dity, that be arrived at the gate of Mullen as Rion as the Prince was before that of the Trave. The Grand Duke of Berg, with his cavalry, was between thefe polls. The enemy endeavoured, Wily, to flrengthen the old walls of Lubec, and placed Come goes on the baltions, hoping ; by thefe means, to gain at lealt a day upon us, but he was. millaken, as the reconnoi tring and the attack were almoll at the fame moment. " General Thom, at the head of the 27th light infantry, and the srath and 95th of the line, wried the batteries with that enolnefs and intrepidity which peculiarly Zillingolifhes the French troops! The gates were fpcedily forced, the Wilma efolnded.the enemy put to eight, and the corpsof the Prince of Ponte-Corr o entered by the gate of the Trave. The Corfican thaffeurs, the fuzileers of the Po, and the 26th light infantry, computed the advanced guard of General Legrand, which.had not, as yet, been engaged, and wk. were impatient to attack the enemy, advanced With the rapidity of lightning 1 Redoubts, beflions, ditches, all were cleared, and the corps of Marfhal` Souk entered the town at the gate of Mullen. In vain did the enemy attempt to defend the place, in the Rivets, the firms, dm they were driven back every where, and thole places were covered with the load ! The two divifions of the French troops, which had entered at different gates, joined about the mid dle of the town. Scarcely had the Grand Duke entered the place than the enemy were put to flight. He purfued them-4000 prifoners, 6o pieces of can non, leveret Generals, a great number of officers killed or taken. Such were the refults of this btilliant via )11 ! " Before day break on the '7th the cavalry were mounted, and the Grand Duke of Berg furrounded the enemy near Schwartau, with the brigade of La i'alle, and the divifion of cuiraffiers of Hautpoult. General Blocher, Prince Frederick of Brunfwick Gels, and the other Generals, then came forward to the vielors, and defiled to capitulate. The troops were defiled before the French army. Thefe two days' work detlrnyed the laft corps which remained of the Pruffiao army ; lefide the remainder of the ar tillery, we have takers a number of Randards, and 0,000 prifoners, of whom 4000 are cavalry. " Thor the Pruffian Generals, who, in the deli 'dun; of their vanity. indulged in all forts of [areal - at' againft the Austrian Commanders, have the fourth time renewed a catallrophe fimilar to that of Ulm— Firfl, in the capitulation of Erfurt—the fecond, by that of the Prince Hohenlohe—thirdly, in the reduc. lion of Stettin—and the fourth in the recent capitu lation of Schwartau. The city of Lubec has fuf. feted confiderably ; taken by affault, its Rreets, its lquares, have been fcenes of carnage.. Thefe cala mities the attributes to thole who drew the perils of war towards her walir. Mecklenburg has been equally ravaged by the French and Pruflian armies. A great number of troops traverfing it in various dire&ions, of neceffity fublißed at the expence of the country. This Rate is in clofe alliance With Prullia, and will in fome mea lure prove an example to tbofe Princes of Germany who leek for alliance with a far diftant power, which is perfedly fife from a participation in thefe evils it draws upon them, and which makes no effort to fup. port thofe who are attached to it by the neareß tics of blood, or by the clofeß diplomatic relations. g' Dell', an Aide decamp of the Grand Duke's, obliged a corps to capitulate, which crooned a con. fiderable quantity of baggage, and had got beyond the Peene. The Swede* had paid the fugitives for the covered waggons. This affair produced fifteen hundred prifoncrs, and a great quantity of baggage and carriages. Some of the regiments of cavalry have gained in fpecie and booty to the amount of fe ral hundred thnufand crowns. as Marfhal Ney, who was charged with the liege of 'Magdeburg, bombarded that town. A number of houfes were burned, which caufed the inhabitants to murmur greatly: upon which the Commandant defired to capitulate. A great number of canmin were found in the rowels t ester:rive magazines ; fifteen thoufand men, drafted fro n more than fe amity battalions, and milita:y thefts of feveral regi• menu. M During there important operations, feveral corps of our, army arrived on the Vlfluid. The Watfaw mail brought ninny letters from RulTia, whips of courfe were intercepted: From thee we perceive : that the fabrications of the Eneillt Journals meet with much credit in Raffia. For inflance—that Marfhal Maffena has been killed ;—that the city of Naples was taken and cecupied by the Calabrians) —that the King fled to Rome—and that the Engli(b with five or fix thoufand men were Meters of Italy However, a little refleeion wunld enable them to dil cover the fallacy of rhefe reports. Has not France incteafed, m t diminiCed her military force in Italy? The King of Naples is in his capital ; he has eighty thoufand French troops at hi: back ; lie is mallet of the Two Calanias, while at Peterfbargh they ima. gine the Cslabrians are at Rome! 'fa fewgalley (laves, aimed a:.d stained by the infamous Sydney Smith, the aloft worthlefs artiong the brave Englifh foldlers, 'killed poprotaled :ndividuals, iAd maffitered weal. thy, uouffending, and peaceable proprieterts—Ahe gendarmerie and the feafold has dotie them juice ! The Englilh Navy difavows not in the leaß the epi thet of infamous bellowed open Sidney Smith. Gene rals Stuart and Fox, and all the Officers of i the army, are indignant at beholding the Englifh name afrociat ed with fuch brigands ! The brave General Stuart has even publicly protefled again([ there outrages—as unavailing with WWI to their ohjeas as they are atrocious in themfelves,and which tend to exchange the noble [ciente and bufsnefs of war for a fyflem of robbery and alraffination ! But when Sidney Smith was fele:led to execute the fangitinary fuggellione of the Queen, we can only perceive in him one of chore unptincipled inftruments which Governments do i.fren employ, but whom they always abandon tcrthat contempt which they are the fitli to feel for them I The Neapolitans will one day be informed in detail, of the letters circulated by Sidney Smith, the corn millions he has authorized, and of the mosey be has expended for the execution of atrocities, in which be is himfelf the chief Agent. " We alto fee, by the letters from Peterlborgh, and even in the official difpatches, that they imagine there are no French troops in Upper Italy Thofe perform, however, ought-to be informed, that inde pendent of the Army of Naples, there are more than tomobo French troop, in Italy, ready to puniffithofe who thould dare to attack it. They eapea alfo every day at Patti (burgh to hear of the fuceeffes of the di viGun of Corfu—but, they will portly kara t - that this stivifion had fcarcely landed at the Mouths of the Cattaro, when they were defeated by General Mar moat, that a part of them have beer, captured, and the remainder re-embarked and fled. It is a very dif ferent thing to fight naiad French, (ram what it is to engage with the Teets, whom they hold in fear and partial fabjedion, by artfully fomenting dircord and intimations in the provinces. Refpeflingthefe, how. ever, the Rullians are not at a lufs for means to milt the opprobrium from themfelves. " It is declared, byte decree of the Senate, that at Auflerlitz. it was not the Ruffians, but their Al lies, who were beaten s and thould a new battle of Auflerlitz take place maw; the Villula, it will even then be others than the Ruffians who (hall be can tittered! Although now, as then, their allies had not a fufficient number of troops to form a jimaion with theirs ! The plan of the movements, and that of the march of the Ruffian army, have fallen into our hands. From there, it is evident, that nothing can be more ridiculous than the plan of operations of the Ruffians, except their vain hopes of fuccell. " Gene; l Legrange has been declared Governor- General of Catfel, and the territories of Rai. - Marfhal Mortier, with the troops under his command, is on his marsh (or Hanover and for Hamburg!). " The King of Holland has blockaded Hameln. " It isneceiLtry that the prefent war fbould be the lan, and that its authors fhould be feverely pundhed, in order that thofe who may hereafter take ep arms againit the French people, fhould be well aware of the peril of fuch undertaking, and of its inevitable confequecces." ORDER OF THE DAY OF THE EIGHTH NOVEMBER. The• Emperor hereby erpreffcs his-fatisfacition, at the conduet of General Savory. and Of° of the zit Regiment of Huffer', and of the ytlt of Chaffeun under his orders, which have captured our Witmer, General Huftlunne, with two Regiments of Huf fer', and soco holies, two Battalions of Grenadiers, and two pieces of cannon." ORDER OF THE DAY OF THE NINTH NOVEMBER. The Emperor hereby expreffes his fatiafaCtion at the conduCt of the Grind Duke of Berg—of the Prince of Pante Corvu—of Matibal Souk, and of the Corps of Infantry, Cavalry, &c. under their command, in the brilliant 'Mori at Luber, and for the adlivity with which they continued the parfait of the enemy....
