Another party, under the or jersof Lieutenant-Colenel Danizoff, having been de tached alongthe right batik of the Nietnen, attacked t he enemy dear Paine with the bayonet, and made 217 prisonets. This same party having afterwards passed the Niemen, accupied the positionpf Balbers thick. In the mean time Major-General Landskoy o pened the road to Wilkovich, in order to establish a communication with the troops - of General Platoff, at Kalwary, and entirely cleared the country of the enemy between the frontier and the line marked. In these operations be made fourteen officers and 600 soldiers prisoners. Tie Partizan Colonel Davidoff reports on the 21st December, that on the 20th he occupied the city of Grodno, and found there the enemy's magazines and hospitals, of which he will send a detailed report : that he likewise found a magazine at Meretech, and that he left it under the protection of the Moscow regiment of dragoons. which had just arrived there. The Austrian General Froellchb who occupied Grodno, retired. General Count 'Wittgenstein reports on the 21st, that the Aide-deCatup General Gotenistscheff Ku tousoff, in pursuing the enemy from Wilna to several miles beyond Kowno, made prisoners one hundred sad slaty-nine staff and other officers, and OAS thou• sand nine hundred and seventy soldiers, and took one colour; and that on the 17th, a party of his detach ment, going to Furburg, overtook a small column of the enemy, completely defeated it, and took one eatiofficer, seven superior officers, and two hundred men prisoners. This detachment afterwards occu pied the town of Furburg. The Colonel of the Guards Souchosaneff, having been detached from the advanced guard of Major- General Diebitsch, found some small magazines at Kaidancw and Datkoff, took several prisoners; and one hospital with eighty sick. Another party under the orders of the Lieutenant-Colonel of Artillery Kos tomaroff, discovered the enemy on the 29d at Grin kischki, and having attacked him in the evening, made prisoners two officers and 80 soldiers, and also took 200 new muskets. His Imperial Majesty arrived this day In good health at his army at Wilna. DICESIUR 4 6:3.—General Platoff reports on the 31st, that since his report of the capture of Kowno, several magazines have been discovered and 170 tonnelets of brandy ; that 30,000 new muskets with bayonets were found in one of the churches; and that a like numler had been burnt at the arsenal, of which nothing remained but the iron. DECILMBER 24.—General Platoff also reports, on the 23d, that two hundred barrels of flour, one hun dred and fifty of rye, five hundred of oats, and fifty quintals of hay, were found at Kalwary; an& fie* hundred rnuids of flour, and two hundred of flour, at Wilkovich. The inhabitants of the neighbourhood had also engaged to furnish rations, every three days, of bread and grain for fifty thousand men, and also oats and bay for fifteen thousand horses. They were ordered to provide this quantity for the use of the enemy, and they now voluntarily offer to supply our troops with it. During the pursuit from the passage of the Niemen to Wilkoritch, the enemy has lost, independent of the pri+►atese of which one thousand are daily brought in, more than two hunched officers and four pieces of cannOn. General Count Wittgenstein reports oil the 23d, that the detachmen't of Lieutenant-Colonel Testea born, seta by the Aide-de-Camp General Goten istscheff Kutusoff, fell ib with two squadrons of Prussian Hussars before Tilsitt, immediately re pulsed them, and pursued them through that town, and a mile beyond.

Another Gazette Extraertinaty, filled with the do, tails of the further successes of the Russian armies, occupies our columns of to-day. The last hopeless remains of the invading army were totally routed and , dispersed at Kowna. The stragglers who have esca ped have been put to death by the indignant peasants, among whom they had so often scattered thoplagues of war and desolation. Those who reached Konigs berg must have been officers onl?, and perhaps there were two or three hundred of the sacrediguadros" alive at that place on the 27th, when MURAT re viewed HEUDRLST'S division. The gallant Kotosorr might have couched his dispatches from Wilna in the laconic terms of his immortal predecessor, SUWARROVIr. " The Imperial Eagle floats on the walls •of Prague and Ismail— praised be COD and the Empress I" were the words which communicated a most brilliant series of events. —ln the same manner KuTosorr might have written from Wilna to the Emperor, The French Army is annihilated—.Hoarrah, i yeer Sorts 114hasts 1" The private accounts from St. Petesburgb, and indeed from every part of the Baltic,- are even MOM auspicious to the welfare of Europe, than those con ' tained in the Gazettes Extraordinary. Letters from Konigsberi announce the departure of Nay from that city, with 5000 men, in the most ragged and distressed condition 1— and the letters from Stockholm and Copenhagen mention, as we stated yetterday, that the Russians had occupied Konigsberg and Memel, in both of which places they were received with great joy by the inhabitants. Ilast-mentioned letters also state, that both VICTOR and M'Dozw.n, with all the forces under their command, had surrendered to the Russians; but MURAT, it is said, continued to assemble the remains of the Grand Army to the number of 10 to 13,000 men, with whom be had marched to gibing. Tlie Russians on entering East Prussia, paid for every thing required for the isrmy, and published in General Orders, that any person ♦iolating the rigid discipline imposed otx the troops, should suffer death. - Some of the letters mention, that the Russians were expected at Berlin, where they will, no doubt, be received as deli veress ; for the hatred of the Prus. sians against the French is deadly, and hos, for years, been restrained from acts of vengeance only by the impulse of terror. Indeed one of the most important facts apparent on the face of the private accounts, is the general desire of the inhabitants of the North to get rid en tirely of French domination. In Silesia, in particu lar, a disposition to throw off all allegiance to its feeble Sovereign has been strongly evinced, and we are told that 50,000 of the inhabitants are ripe for insurrection. The letters from Sweden state, that the Russians had passed through Friedland : and one, dated Carle. ham, the Bth instant, mentions the arrival of soma vessels from the neighbourhood of Danttic t the mas ters of which stated, that the Russians bad ap• proached that fortress. Amid so much joyful intelligence we regret to think, that any difference of opinion should prevail among the gallant Commanders of the Russian armies. It is our duty to mention, however, that General BENIOSIN has retired from the service, after publicly declaring it to be his firm conviction that BONAPARTZ and his whole army might have been made prisoners, immediately after evacuating Moscow! We understand General 1112114102‘ also to base de•' clared, that had he been supported by the advance of the main body of the Russian army, when he defeated . . . itgaierili*Ast stir knit 1101.6 "0 *lake* aP4 &done blijett would hits been achieved within . 24 hours.

Much as tve regret the persOnal escape of Somalian's, it is not for us to hazard ail topinion where Military men who were present, add who knew th€ relative strength df the two armies, were alone eopip*teat to decide. The destruction of the FrendrAiihY has been effected, and perhaps it is better fur ihaakipd that its sitnguninary leader has escaped, t' meet a fate more suitable to his deserts. Lord CATHCART'S dispatches, since hit Snivel at St: Petersburgb, have been regularly translated into , French and German, and printed in London for ciliation on the Continent. Every opportunity has been eagerly seized .by the Revenue Officers at the outports, and every facility afforded in the imiout de partments of Government, for the wanted: Pun of them interesting documents across the channel. We have reason to believe that upwards of One Hundred Thousand Publications of this de:0;0;os have found their way into the interior of Preece, within these few weeks, where they are sought after with much av;ditya The spirited and unanswerable proilamation against the Americans has in this way also found its way to every place of any note in the Continent, and from Gottenburgh, Stockholm, and Copenhagen, we learn that the unfortunate men who own Mr. James Madi. sea for their a tutelary genius" at these places, are treated with deserved contempt i we trust that Minis ters will persevere in this most judicious method of carrying the war into the vitals of France. It Is not by the further effusion of human blood, now that his armies have been destroyed, that BONAPAHTS is to be bumbled so much as by the propagation of truth, through the medium of the press.

Mails from these places arrived this morning.— The accounts received from the South of Spain are favourable s the French have been compelled to act chiefly on the defensive; and MINA, the Guerilla Chieftain, continues to harass them on every occasion.

Father Gil, who acted so conspicuous a part in the board of Seville, and 27 other individuals, have been arrested in that city, upon a charge of conspi racy against the Cones and Regency. 44 Messina letters of the Bth ultimo state, that the command of the troops has devolved upon General Montresor, in consequence of General Maitland's de parture for England. " Lord William Bentinck was expected to sail in a few days for Alica, to take the command of the two divisions of British and Sicilian troops in that part of Spain.

Suchet and his army are falling back upon Va. lencia. The French who bad come down into La Mancha are retreating upon Madrid. It is said that they are laying in great quantities of biscuit, and it is generally believed that all the French troops are on the point cf withdrawing from the points which they occupy in the centre of the Peninsula. " BABAJOZ, DECEMBER IS. ts There is no account of the French having crossed the Tagus by the Midge of Alrnaraz ; and the latest intelligence ft, that there are 2000 foot at Talavera, 1000 at Oropesa, and 4500, with a pretty strong body of cavalry, -at Lit Colzada, Lagartera, the Archbishop's Bridge, and Valdeverdeja, as far as Navalmorel. They occupy the left bank of the Tagus, and appear to have the intention of re.estab. hulling its former fortifications, with the exception of those at Almarez. We do not think it likely that they will have it in their power to harass this Province to any extent, if some of our troops continue to occupy the advantageous positions in it, and prevent the enemy's columns ranging the-country in small numbers. All the boats have been destroyed by their orders; and on the 6th, 180 foot and 20 horse came down to the river by Almaraz. /ROM TIM GIBRALTAR alma= or Mann 26. 44 The immortal Mina has fought five more actions, no leu glorious than the forma ones.

We are anxious that all our Readers who, their influence or situation, can call the attentTo fr a n : the lower orders in shore places lately disturbed by insurrreetionaty conduct, should exert themselvti to make the Proclamation in 14st night's Gazette, understood by those to whom it is addressed..
