MAGDEBURG, DECEMAER We every day see foreign troops proceed otl the T rAiiary route to join the Grand Army. We have calculated that more than 10,000 have passed during il:e last three weeks. HAMBURGH, DECEMBER SO. After an extremely-severe cold, we hate had, since the 26th, a complete thaw ; it is now very dangerous to cross the Elbe. LEIPZICK, DECEMBER SO. According to authentic intelligence froth Berlin. the army, which has so much suffered ) from an ex. creme cold, which took place so early, and against which it was not prepared, is posted behind the Niemen. This measure was necessary, on account of the im possibility of finding good winter•quartert in Lithua nia. According to the last intelligence, the army was behind Kowna : the Duke of Tarentum had oc cupied Tilsit, with the 10th corps ; the Prince of Schwartzenberg was at Grodno ; and General Rey pier at Bresc.

They containno official details respecting the Grand Army; and the intelli gence they afford is, as usual, scanty: In an article dated LeipLick, December 30, we are informed, that the Army was behind Kowna:" the Duke of tA. RENT., ( IvrAcDONAL,D ) , at Tilsit, with the 10th Corps Prince SCHWARTZNBERG, with the Austrians, at Grodno ; and General REYNIER, at Brew. The last three corps composed no part of the army which crossed the Duna ; and whatever portion of it escaped has been driven behind (i. e. out of) Kowna. But we have our doubts whether a single individual of that immense force is now bearing arms ; for why should MUItAT (the Conimander-in-Chief) and other Officers visit Konigsberg, while the army of which they were left in charge was in such perilous circumstances?— ?a fact, private letters from Paris, to the 12th, thrinv some farther light on this business ; for the writers distinctly state, that MURAT and many French °leers had arrived at Katigslserg as prisoners, upon parole! the whole remains of their army having surrendered at discretion, on the road from Smorgonie to Walla, which last place the Russians have entered in grea' force. Nay, the article froth Dantzic sheen that even Tilsit and Konigsberg are threatened ; for why should the garrison of Dantzic be put into such a statt of alarm, while Tilsit is occupied by MACDONALD, with 30,000 men, and Konigsberg defended by tin invincible King of NAPLES and HEUIR.LET'S diViSiol - 3000 French troops ? Never did the destroying Angel visit the i • niquitie of mortals With less intermission—never was rui. snore complete and unequivocal than that which ha dispersed the foul congregation of vapours Which de. solated Russia. The private accounts from Paris state, that thousands and tens of thousands were found by the Russians in the road from Borisow to Wilna, frozen to death, or doubled up together in hundreds, as a last effort to protract for a few hours their miserable existence. With the exception of Po- NIATCAVSKY, and the remains of his sea:timed brigade, :vhich have entered Warsaw, there is not a human being; net even a horse, which is now able to move a limb in the service of the GREAT EMPEROR, who, but for the Russians, would have been the Dictator of the World I When such have been the perils of the invading 7.rmy, how miraculous must have been the escape of , !s Leader, and how great must have been his con tempt for his unfortunate followers, and for the opi 'ions of mankind, if he supposed that his desertion at Itch a crisis can ever be forgiven ! There are several articles in these papers which , ly threats of a renewed campaign in Russia.— illoa;!eur, however, lays the scene of BONA.. ,res future military glory in Spain. Be this as lay, his hands arc likely to be quite full of business the spring. Notwithstanding the boastings of his slings on the Continent, however, and of his ad .ers in this country, he has no longer the means of intaining a contest at the Northern' and Southern 4emfties of Europe. and may we not expect, as a alt of dextrous negociations at Vienna, that Aus • will threaten the Eastern frontiers of his Empire. Combined with the operations to which we have ;w alluded, we believe we can state with certainty, it it is in contemplation to barrass the coast of ~ ante, during the ensuing spring, by flying expe l:ons, consisting chiefly of the Russian Navy now our harbours, and thei r opetations will be directed British Officers, supported by such of our ships war as are best adapted cot the service. Wen disiuissiag The topi •cs connected with the Vrenels Papers, Ire eight to nodes their details from the Peninsula, as recording some most gallant, al though unsuccessful, exertions on the part of the Spa niards in Catalonia. The continuance of such a spirit as that which animated the Spanish General VILLA. MU. and his brave comrades, must ultimately rescue the Peninsula. STAR-OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK. Letters have been received this morning from Hamburgh, by the Mail from Heligoland, which state, in the most positive and unqualified terms, that the French Army capitulated near Wilna, and that the whole of the Officers surrendered, on condi tion of being allowed to return to their homes ) not to serge during the war. The following article has been sent to us for inser tion t'..J 4 A paragraph appeared in a Morning Paper of yesterday, and was afterwards copied into the STAR and other Papers, attaching considerable consequence to the PRINCE REGENT'S journey to Windsor on Mon• day, and intimating that it was supposed to be in con sequence of another paroxysm of the KING. After considerable pains in making inquiries as to the cor rectness of it s it has been found to be very erroneous. A communication was sent from the Princess CHAR-. Lams of WALES, on Sunday, from Windsor, to the PRINCE Ronan, by one of her Royal Highness's foot men, who arrived in town about half past two o'clock. A groom of the QuEr.m's was also sent off from Windsor with letters to the PRINCE, who arrived in town on the same afternoon about five o'clock. There was no other communication to the PRINCE during that day or night from Windsor; but in fact there is no importance to be attached to this mode of cor responding by the Royal Family, as but few days pass without such a circumstance taking place. 4 , At a late hour on Sunday night, the PRINCE RE GENT sent to the LORD CHANCELLOR, at his house in Bedford-square, commanding his Lordship's a- tendance upon his Royal Highness early in the morning. Accordingly his Lordship was at Carl. ton House by ten o'clock, and set off with the PAINCE REGENT at about a quarter before eleven, in his tra velling carriage, for Windsor, where they arrived at one o'clock, as we stated in our Windsor letter on ' Monday, and not before nine o'clock, as the para graph stated. The business they went upon, we have every reason to believe, was not any thing rela tive to the KING, but quite of a different nature" The Duke of Sussex is better. But his complaint (a spasmodic asthma) is exposed to vicissitudes that are very violent and sudden. In this attack, too, there have been some symptoms additionally bad, and quite hew in their species as well as violence of degree. The QUEEN, who was then at the Duke of CRWRRIDGEIS, directly added Dr. BAILLIE to the con sultation of the Duke of SUSSEX'S other Physicians. Yesterday morning the Earl of LIVERPOOL had an audience of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House. Yesterday a numerous meeting of the Ship-builders, &c. of the Port of London was held at the City of London Tavern ; and several ltemlutions were en tered into, expressing a determination to support the renewal of the East India Company's Charter. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the Eist "India House, when Captain C.W. BUTLER was sworn into the command of the William Pitt, des tined-to Madras and Batavia. It iS Captain HOTHAM, of the NORTHUMBERLAND, who destroyed the two French frigates at the en -ranee of L'Otient, that is appointed Captain to the fleet under Sir J. B. WARREN. A large supply of stores, for the fleet under Sir J. B. WARREN, is to be sent immediately in the Pre voyante store-ship, from Portsmouth. It has been ascertained by Government that Com modore RODGERS.iS now, or was very lately, off the Azores. It was for the purpose of intercepting him hat the ELEPHANT, of 74 guns, (one of the fastest „tiling 74's in the service), and the HERSIES, com minuted by that most active officer Captain BROWNE, were sent out. The THESEUS, Captain BROWN, and the —, of 74 guns each, with the NIESIEN, have again sailed from Portsmouth on the same errand. The latter are to cruize off the Azores for a little time, and have orders to run down all the latitudes between them and the shores of the Chesapeak. By accbunts from St. Helena, brought by the Whalers which sailed from thence on the tenth of November, we learn, that up to that time no advice had reached that plate, of war having broken out with America. An account has been received at LLOYD'S, that three strong American privateers, mounting from 18 to 20 guns, and whose crews amount to about 170 men each, were cruizing near the island of Fer nandez de Nohrons, with a view of intercepting some of our East Indiamen, either outward or homeward bound. We trust their object has ere now been frus trated, by the vigilance of some of our frigates on the South American station. A Gentleman, conversant in the politics of Ame rica has suggested to us, that the writer of the inter cepted letter to JOEL BARLOW, is Mr. FULTON, the in ventor of the Steamboat, but better known as the original projector of the Catamaran scheme, for the invention of which he endeavoured to obtain a reward from the British, Frenchi aid American Govern ments. The person alluded to in the letter, under the feigned name of Babasidie, is perhaps Mr. BAR LOW himself ; the words Baba and Sidie being both Moorish terms of affection or respect, not improbably applied to Mr. BARLOW; in reference to his long resi dence as Charge d'Affaires at Tunis.

Friday last some of the prisoners at the Perth depot were detected in an attempt to effect their escape. They had begun an excavation from one of the necessaries, and atter piercing a thick wall, had carried their mine laterally about five yards. Five of them were found at work, and were pet into close confinement. A deduction will, as usual, be made from their stated allowance ; equal to the expence of repairing the damage.. ich de- rnpl re- i'he ble AR] lye 1T1; tv4 tl .ces ave !ra-. be- test cry, pat r.GyA Nes that Ltest Fra Ge' its- , the rate d of cow • iV4PAL iNTBLLIGPFCB: .

We ale most anxiously expecting the arrival of the Little Auckland, from Gottenburgh, as she was supposed to have sailed near three weeks ago, we can only account for her non-arrival, in conse quence of having met very severe South-westerly gales, and being driven to the Northward.—Wind South, blows hard.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Monday last a sloop from Plymouth, bound to Cork, having got embayed near Slade, in the county of Wexford, a boat belong ing to that place, with seven men on board, went off to pilot her out of danger.
