THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1813. CA N aLtaiwa-pAr.--Holitay a; the Stock Exchange. 4 vessel has arrived in the River from Toningen, she Captain of which states, that the French troops had evacuated the whole line of the Elbe, They have proceeded towards Prussia. Hamburgh, and Bre men, according to the same informant, are now gar risoned by a few invalids, and by the armed Burghers. All the French gan Ins in Alsace and Lorrain have een also ordered for Frankfort on the Oder. In the Tnean time the Russians were described as having arrived on the Vistula. A small vessel from Heli goland also brings a report equally gratifying; the Ems and Weser are once more open, in some mea sure, to commerce, and letters now freely pass be tween the above Island and the Main Land. Those from Berlin speak with great freedom on the sub ject of the politics of the North, and are filled with 'expressions of satisfaction at the result of the cam paign in Russia. While the prospect thus gradually brightens in the North of Europe, the recent arrivals from Lisbon place beyond all doubt the important fact, that the Marquis of WELLINGTON, in assuming the high office of Generalissimo of Spain, has determined that, so far as he is concerned, it shall not be an empty title. An army of 50,000 men, completely clothed, armed, and equipped, is placed under his unlimited com mand, by a solemn resolution of the Cortes ; and this powerful force is to be selected and officered under his Lordship's immediate inspection. The privates will be chosen from among the veteran Spa nish troops now in the fiel.i; and the Officers will, with few exceptions, be British. The allied army will also be placed in a state of efficiency, which will give it an overwhelming superiority over the enemy now opposed to it. , Nothing, in short, but a prompt and vigorous effqrt on the part of Austria is now wanting to rivet the shaft, which has entered the heart of the eomß men Tyrant. If Austria continues steadfast in her unnatural alliance, the final catastrophe may be pro ! tracted it is true, but it cannot be averted, and her own exclusion from all share in the great political fa roily of Europe, will most inevitably follow. Would to Heaven that the deluded Emperor FRANCIS would .call to his recollection the honour, the dignity, and preponderance of the Princes of Austria ; and that the present is a tide in the affairs of Europe, which, if taken at the flood, will lead on to the salvation of his Throne and family ! Some German Journals of a recent date have been received in town. Our Readers will perceive that they contain no intelligence of any magnitude from the seat of war. The conferences between the King of Pttussm, Baron HARDENBLRG, and Count NARBONNE, the French Ambassador, related, we have no doubt. to the farther prosecution of the war on the part of Prussia. Upon turning to the STAR of Jan. 87th, our, Readers will find an account of what passed at one of these meetings, given on the audio' ity of a gentleman now in London, who was in Berlin at the period al• luded to. If the King of PRUSSIA had determined upon furnishing Box APARTE with fresh troops, why shatild Ccunt Nanlowkirs in person be the bearer of his Majesty's letter to NAPOLEON ? The fact seems rather to lee, that NA ftlitONNE has been dismissed from Berlin—and we have no doubt that subsequent arri vals will bear us out in our conjecture : " BANKS OF THE ELBE, JANUARY 8. it A Special Court has been held at Madena, for the purpose of sequestrating all thp effects of rbilip ?au lieu, a native of that place, in the service of Russia. He i; commanded to appear personally within a month, before the King's Attorney-General, and in default he is to be declared a rebel, ansl to be dealt with accordingly. " The Count de Narbonne ? Aide-de-Camp to the • Emperor Napoleon, has had many conferences with the Minister Hardenberg, at Berlin, and has had . the honour of dining with the King, who entrusted . the Count with a letter, to be delivered to his Ippe .rial Master." !'

The Lady Frances packet, Capt, RITIMBR I has ar rived from Gottenburgh with Mails and Dispatches. No direct 'intelligence has been received from the Russian Armies; but at Elsineur it was reported, that the Russians had occupied, with the three for. mid4ble armies of• KUTUSOFF, Wyrousratx, and TITSCHAWITS, the important places of Konigsberg and Warsaw. A Swedish Minister has arrived at Copenhagen, and Denmark may now be expected to unite with her Northern neighbours in the great ob ject of restoring the Balance of Power in Europe. General SARRATIN, who bas been so long buffetted about by outrageous fortune, has been refused ad, mission iato Sweden, and has returned to this country in the Lady Frances. Our Readers cannot tail to remark the renewal of a friendly intercourse Iltwjsen the King of Peussu and the Prince of Hasp, as highly ominous at the present crisis. The latter was awayi considered by BONAPARTE as a wauvais stild. — He 14 now, in all probability, once spore in. a state of insurrection against him. The following are extracts from the papers brought by the above Mails - :—the article from Warsaw, our Readers will do well to observe, is of French autho T Thy. The cold in Poland this winter was intense, beyond precedent : the thermometer, according to the Warsaw statement, has been within five of Zero in FAHRENHEIT'S scale, or 28 degrees below the freezing point Such a degree of cold Was never known in this country ; " PETERSBURGH, DEC. 1111. di No Bulletin or news since the Emperor left this capital. This day we have received the melancholy intelligence of the decease of the Prince of Olden berg, husband of the Grand Duchess Catherine, at Twer, to the great grief of the Imperial Family and public at large." u ELSINEUR, JANUARY 19. " Private information from Germany stares, that 70,000 Russians, under Kutusoff, are gone to Ga licia ; that 80,000, under Wittgenstein, have entered Koningsberg ; and that 70,000 (the third army ) were in Warsaw. " The Russian Proclamation to the Prussians is worded iu a very tiiendly manner, calling upon them to break with France, and join the victorious Rus sian arms. 44 Count Santi arrived on Friday last at Copen. hagen from Stockholm : his mission is supposed to relate to more than mere military events. " It is reported that Russia .has declared Poland independent, and the Duke of Oldenberg their King, which, it is said, gives great satisfaction." GOTTENBURGH, JAN. 22. " General Sarrazin returns to England by this packet (Lady Frances) very much dissatisfied with the treatment he has experienced in this country. He sailed from hence, some time ago, for Copenhagen, but not being able to obtain any satisfactory answer to his application to the vanish Government for pro tection, and having been assured by the Danish Con sul there, that whatever might be the wish of his go vernment, they would be compelled to send him un der arrest to Hamburgh, if demanded—he did not deem it prudent to land." " BERLIN, JANUARY O. " His Royal Highness the King of Prussia and his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Hesse, have determined on restoring the former diplomatic com munications between the two Courts. For this pur pose the Baron Von Leykam arrived here some time ago in quality of Ambassador Extraordinary, and ap- - pointed Minister from the Grand Duchy of Hesse, and has had the honour of presenting his credentials to his Majesty at an audience for that purpose ; and, on the other hand, our Ambassador Extraordinary and appointed Minister at the Grand Ducal Court of Frankfort, M. Von Haculeim, is accredited in the same quality to the Grand Ducal Court at Darm stadt." " DANTZICK, •' The troops which are in the Government of Dant;ick are informed that the 10th corps, under thv command of the Marshal Duke of Tarento, has made its junction at Tilsit. The vangunefl had an engage ment with the enemy on the 21th, in which he was to tally defeated, and two whple battalions and two cannon taken. " The French van guard was commanded by Ge neral Baehelu, and the Russian corps Nvbich he broke through, by Gewall..aslcow." WA)i.SAIAT, DEC. 18. 44 All the accounts received from the seat of war bring confirmation of the Russian armies finding the same impediments, from natural Cause* to their pro gress, as caused the retreat of the French army from the interior of Russia, and rendered it so difficult.— The latter occupies more concentrated cantonments in a plentiful part of the country, and without being much disturbed by the enemy. The following were the last positions ; Wilna, and the whole of the right bank of the Niemen, were evacuated. The head. : quarters of the King of Naples were on this side the Niemen, near Kowno ; the left wing, under Macdo nald, at Tilsit : the head-quarters of the corps d'armee, under command of the Field Marshal Prince von Schwartzenburg was, on the 12th 1 at Slonim. Ilia card Maraud fell knelt to Rolm at did the Tth snip corps to Swialocss. No new battle had taken place with this aupy. The bead-quarters of Field Marshal PT ince Ku tusoff were, according to the latest accounts received here, still on the Dnieper, on the 85th November. The loss of ca ealry-hoyses in the Russian army ap pears to be nearly equal to that sustained by the French. None but Cossack,horses, which are accus. tomed to be in the open air in all changei of the wea ther and season, and to 6nd their food under the dee pest snote, can hold out in such campaigns as the present. The cold here is unexampled for the month. continues nearly always between 12 and 18 de grees. Most of the diplomatie personages that have hitherto been at Wilna are now in our city," sgcoN D EDITION. STAR OFFIQE, TWO O'CLOCK. REPORTED DECLARATION OF AUSTRIA 4cmpl4ll BON4P4RTE. T•, The die is east with respect to Austria!—We have the satisfaction to state, that a Vessel arrived at Dover last night, front one of the french ports, with the important intelligence that the Emperor of Aosrati, has followed the example of the= King of PRUSSIA, I and has made a most peremptory demand for the re stor4tion of the posssessions wrested from him by Trance during the last war, refusing all further as sistance in troops to the unprincipled Invader of Russia, It gives additional probability to this truly gratify. ing report, that there is a striking coincidence be tween the conduct of the Emprooft of AUSTRIA and Km° of Paussuk upon this important pccasion.— This proves to demonstration that they are acting in concert, and the most glorious molts may be ex pected from their cordiality. Upon the same authority, and we have no reason to doubt its authenticity, we are also enabled to con firm the report of the continued disturbances in the French capital. We hasten to lay the letter of our Dover Correspondent before our Readers : " DOVER, FEBRUARY 1. " A vessel has arrived from one of the French ports, and by a Gentleman who came over in her we learn that the Emperor of AUSTRIA has refused to give any snore assistance in troops to France' without having restored to Austria those possessions that were wrested from her in the late unforturme war between those Powers. It is also rumoured that affairs in France are in a most unsettled state. There are disturbances daily in Paris, and the military are hurrying in all directions to the Capital by order of BONAPARTE:2 In confirmation of the above, we have to notice, that we have seen private letters from Gottenburgh, which, after mentioning that the Russians entered, Konigstrurgh on the 4th instant, aid, that the most amicable understanding exists between the Prussians and Austrian; : and that these two Powers have one hun. dred thousand seen in Silesia, ready to Act as soon as cir cinnstances will permit." Indeed, we must conclude human nature to have entirely changed its character, before we can believe that Rulers and Nations groaning under the tyranny and oppression of a Foreign Power, will cease to look for opportqnities to shake off the yoke, and to vindi cate their own independence. The Lisbon Packet, which arrived at Kinsale last week, has at length come round to Falmouth, and the Mail this morning reached the Post Office.—lt appears that King JOSEPH is once more in Madrid, and that Sucuar is preparing to act on the offensive in the South. We see no occasion to be alarmed at any of these movements.—The following are extracts from the Lisbon Papers received by the above packet: 14SPON I JANUARY 7. a By a letter worthy of credit, received from Ba d,ijo4, we know that or the Ist instant the Marquis of Torres Vedras was still in Cadiz. 6 !

BADAIOZ, .14N. 1. fi We are informed that Soult, with his Staff, two divisions of infantry, and some cavalry, remains in Toledo. The contribution (in which are included 3000 beds) was to 130 ready on the 25th.

Ministers have given to Lady CROLLA JOIINSTOn a pension of £250 a-year. All the principal manufacturing and trading towns are actively employed in seconding the proposal of Ministers to open the East India trade. Mr. Ccattas STIRLING and Mr. JAMES OSWALD, two of the gentle. men deputed by the Merchants and Manufacturers of Glasgow, to meet the Deputies of those other towns who oppose the renewal of the East India Company's Charter, have proceeded to London. Mr. Resist DRNNISTON is also engaged in this mission. Mr. CRAWFORD left Greenock on Wednesday for the same purpose. ALEX. DUNLOP, Esq. banker, is his COi. league in the deputation. The three French prisoners, who escaped from the Depot at Perth, during the extremely thick fog of Wednesday se'nnight, got undetected to Brough:y Ferry, from whence they stole a small sloop belong. ing to Mr. Grubh ; and, as nothing fartker has been heard of them, it is supposed they Lave got cleft . The prisoners went to Dundee, and took some re. t.eshment, without seeming to dread any disturbact They afterwards proceeded directly to the sloop which is about 13 tons burden, and was provisioned for ten days. There is, therefore, strong ground for suspecting that they had been assisted in tha escape by persons who had given them information of the means which they adopted. A number of vessels, with French licences, are as their passage from France to this country, krcarg and others are preparing to come over.
