It consists of a squadron of cavalry, and a - battalion of infantry; the former was complete long ago, and the infantry will soon be completed. • DOMITSCH, DECEMBER ti. The well-directed fire of the batteries which we • Itave established so near the fortress of Torgau. Com pelled the Enemy last night to evacuate fort Zinna, after Withdrawing the artillery, and blowing up three osterns of masonry. Fort Zinna consists of four kbastions .and two ravelins, with a dry ditch, 18 feet deep and 30 feet wide. This fort is on an eminence 1260 Races from the body of the place, so that it , commands the town and environs. It is stronpr and larger than Fort Prussia, in advance of Stettin. The possession of this important work gives hopes that Torgan'will speedily surrender; the more, as the . zAtal,ancl valour which animate our troops brave all, • ;he difficulsies presented by a siege at this season of the year. . tgipme, DECEMBER 22.

The 2d battalion is daily expected. The strength of this le slots is estimated at 2500 men. There are here, - and in our vicinity, troops of dif ferent arms to the amount of 12,060,men, who are exercised, and part of whom are in immediate expec ;Aim of marching orders. Coma Rasumowski, who, after having been Am bassator from Russia at our Court, has resided here as a private individual, is abOut to reQair to the head qua.rters of thikEmperor of Russia. The followin,g are the Articles of the. Capitulation of stettki and its dependent forts.

The former di rected Hampton to unite with him at St. Regis ; th latter thought that a point lower down would be better, - and took measures accordingly.. So soon as .this. - wa: known to Wilkinson, the army was ordered to tint at Salmon river for the winter. :Ile battle of the 11th is represented as most se. vine, and to have lasted four hours. Our loss is 'estimated at abeiut 500 men killed and wounded.— General Covington, a Captain, and two Lieutenants, are said to be dead of their wounds. Colonel Preston of the 18th regiment; and twenty-two other Officers, are wounded, some severely, others dangerously...-. The accounts frorri General Hampton's army are truly distressing ; more than a thousand are said to have been sent to Burlington since the attack on th front-guard, and the retreat- to Chateauguay, sict and wounded, and otherwise unfit for service. The .elements - appear to have fought against us. • GO7TENBURGH MAILS. ST. PETERSBURGH, NOVEMBER 30. A courier, 'dispatched Lieutenant-General de Ratischeff to the Chancellor of the Empire, has arri ved here, and been sent of to the head-quarters of Ms' mperial Majesty. No doubt is entertained of this courier having brought accounts of the conclu• sion of peace bettveen Russia and Persia. Many persons assert, that it has been concluded upon the principle of status quo ad presentem, and that this treaty is likewise favcurable ida the commerce of -the Em pire. Thus PnovmAce every where seems to bless the cares and labours of a Prince whom he has chosen to reign over an empire penetrated towards him with love and gratitude. The value of all the effects given up to the Allies, by the capitulatiin of Dresden, such as cannon, am munition, aims, etc. is estimated at twenty Ilion: Of Cranks. STOCKHOLM, DECEMBER 20. On the night between the 16th and 17th instant, Lieutenant Baron Stedingk arrived here as courier, and brought with him dispatches and the keys of the city of Lubeck, to the King, from his Royal High cm: the Crown Prince. . 2 FRENCH PAPERS. •$, I Jt-• • • PARIS, DEC. 27. The accounts which we receive frem Alsace and Pranche Comte, inform us, that at the first signal of the invasion of the enemy, the sentiments of national honour, and of the common defence, united all the French. The cry of To drme! resounded on all sides.. The Mired soldieTs having rallied, threw themselves into the town for their defence. It is im possible to , find terms to describe the entbusi4am which has been excited in slit 4.o:mint of the Up per Rhine, by the arrival 0 . 1 . 64 tcslmun of cavalry commanded by General Milhaud. The inhabitants hasten to meet the soldiers, offer them provisions, wine, and embrace them as brothers ansideliverers. This; itiovement spreads on airsidekeTh in a few days all Prance will be in arms ; the hour of national vengeance is ready to strike. Numerous corps are ,marching from all quarters ; tire enemy will have to combat our armies, and the whole nation united der the command of the Sovereign. The French soM will be the grave of an arrogant enemy. .The fields of battle, in which foreigners were vanquished, every where strike our.eyes: the earth, which swallowed up their legions, is ready to open itself anew. Let the Allies cease to hold to us a hypocritical language : let them not try to seduce us by a false moderation : whom do they hope to persuade, that they invade us Otil of friendship, that they pillage us for the sake of our happiness ? They must believe the French to be very destitute of sense, or very degenerate, to insult. .the nation this manner,—to attempt to make it believe, that it is with 'the design of making it enjoy all sorts of felicity that 160,000 professors of mode. ration (160,000 moderes) are come to occupy its ter ritory, to carry off its money, to plunder its towns, nod to lay waste its fields. No, our enemies do net iherish this idle hope; twenty years of war have taught Om what we are ; they depend less on our weak.' ness than on our want of unanimity. History tells them, that if the Saracens had succeeded in ceparat-i ing Charles Martel from the nation, it would have been all over with France. They come among us with al much rage, but with more perfidy ; they will 'not deceive us; the snare which they lay for us is too palpable; they have mistaken the national charac ter ; their awkward attempt fills all proud and gene tons minds with indignation ; and we all feel that the highest-mark of contempt which can be shewn to a nation, into insult it in the person of its Sovereign, tit the moment when he is most in need of its en?' soll4t Ah l this infamous manoeuvre betrays the *cret of their we i lloess : the remembrace of so many triumphs, .of such brilliant successes, makes them tremble for the moment' when the Sovereign shall have united in his hands all the resources of the nation. Well, this moment which they dread is not remote ; the signal fee battle sounds, armies are marching, victory ay inow)edgot then for her own s Let all the French aid them ill their labours I let all the eitisens make thetWlTes Mme.'s in their glory ; in the depart, mend which are thmetenefl, let free corps be formed, fOr chF purpoN gilCares /AWN of • • • I •• a provisions, surprishas detachments, in ,dait his communications. France is covered Si old soldiersovith veteran officers, who will serve as guides. Fire-arms of every calibre may be success. fully employed in these corps, which have no regular 'battles to maintain. Their business is not to attack the columns, the bivouacs ; but to surprise single de bailments, Garry off the scouts, the couriers, the sick, the marauders, to take away all the provisions scat tered in the villages, destroy bridges, to render the roads impassable for artillery, either by digging ditches or forming abattis of trees. These measures, superintended by old and intelligent soldiers, may re tard the march of whole columns, and even cause them to fall into the hands of the regular national army. - The forest keepers, ganse.kebpers, &b. are excellent sentinels (taws) for the free corps. They may:be particularly serviceable by giving useful information to the regular army, concerning all the enterfirisitit the enemy : - for them it is a point of honour to watch his operations, to give information of his smallest movements. . . If a bivouac of carriages, or a convoy, fires itself near a village, let the inhabitants comein the night, carry off the horses, sastl.burn the carriages ; in a word, let the citizens o every rank concur in the defence of their homes, their families, of all that tbey kaki dear and sacred. These are obstacles which may be opposed to the emy with more success, since the farther ad: antes, the more difficult it will be for him to repir his losses. Why should we not have the same ad- Vantages in combating him on our territori as he had against us in combating on his ? Let him find himself insulated, without resources, without succour, wherever he shall appear. Let all the French recognise in the enemy's ranks thoie who have shin their sons, their friehds, their fathers ; let a tioble resentment animate them. Re venge is for them a duty—it becomes a virtue.— A Dove all, let no one dwell with a false grief on the evils inseparable from our situation—a genuine, noble and patriotic grief does not vent itself in vain com plaints—it displays itself in generous efforts.— Whateierbe the cause of the danger, it exists, and the national himour allows only one reflection, the necessity of repelling it. PARIS, DEOEMBER 49. - The Emperor has issued a decree, dated from the - Thuilleries the 17th instant, for the or ganiption of cohorts of grenadiers, fubjeers ; and pf;rpixed co : horts,-composed of companies of grenadieraand fait. leers, and of national guards and artillerymen: They are to serve as garrisons in-fortresses, to maintain or der, and support the civil authorities in thee: which , an not fortresses, where aftworsilion has been made by former decrees for these fireimmes and places. They are to be taken from among the owners Of real estates, whose property is the highest taxed in the town; or from among the merchants having a licenCe, or those exercising some useful profession, or their sons. They are to be armed and clothed at their own ex pence, but not required to be in uniform. They are not allowed to procure substitutes. They are to as semble every Sunday to exercise in the fortresses, un der the orders of the Commandant. They may be 'called on by the Prefects, and the Mayors, to main tain.the public tranquillity. COLOGNE, DECEMBER 25. The code. Napoleon has been abolished in all the ncient provinces incorporated with Westphalia or the Duchy of Berg, and the Prussian code restored. It is not known whether this change is to be retro spective ; but the proprietors of estates are terrified, at the effects which this rash measure may have on the security of their fortunes. The Russian Governors have ordered the present magistrates in the Grand Duchy of Berg to continue their functions till the Ist of May ensuing, when they are to be replaced by others. French property, even that of private persons, is .., strictly.sought after. General Sebastiani is still here with his corps. The Duke of Tarentum is at Nimeguen. Here, and all along the Lower Rhine, all is quiet: the enemy does not skew himself. We learn, that the Old Mark, and Verden, have been separated from Berg, and restored to Prussia.— This gave rise to the report that Prussia had taken pgpsession of the Grand Duchy. It is Russia that causes it to be governed in her own name ; it is she who makes war against the preponderance exercised by the Emperor Napoleon in Europe. The enemy's agents have thrown upon the left bank of the Rhine some copies of a proclamation full of insults to the French nation. It is a repetition of , the diatribes which Kotzebue, and other German scribblers, print in their gazettes. Those who have found copies of this disgusting libel gave them imme diately to the magistrates. At the-beginning of this month Hambargh was in a formidable state, defended by SOO pieces of cannon. New worts were raising on the side towards Altona, which is the most accessible. Five thousand oxen were driven into Hamburgh iu November. BESANCON, DECEMBER 26. All the inhabitants of this place have, with unpa ralleled patriotism, offered to defend their town.— gvery one is ready to make a vigorous defence : no thing indicates the presence of danger, but it is wise to be prepared for it. The Prince of Moskwa is here and *Arlin, bT his lsreseuce, all our reparatiOllk , VESOUL, DECEMBER te. The enemy's corps, which has penetrated into the department of the Upper Rhine, has summoned Be. fort to surrender, which has been refused with fi . ness. The enemy has pushed some patroles Within two leagues of Befall, in thedireCtilan of Lars be behaves as ill as possible. The Austrians confine themselves to devouring all the eatables they can , and pay for nothing. The Cossacks get drunk; but the CAlmucks, the Baskin, and other Asiatic troops, plunder and destroy, like their ancestors the Huns. Some Cossacks having gotinto a farm-house, where they gorged themselves with wine, a few chil- dren of twelve years of age got on bor4ei•ack and sounded the tocsin ; and soon a wumbvr of 'peasant:, from all the neighbouring villages, art ed with pit:!; forks, pikes, end some fowling-pieces, flocked toge ther and fell on the enemy, of whom very few escapee. The spirit of the people is excellent in all FranOte Compte. Every family has a hero in it ; the mili tary ardour, which is hereditary in this loyal people, does• net permit them to be idle spectators 'of t!.e dc. vastations with which they are threatened by an army partly composed of troops unacquainted with Euro pean manners. - TOULOU SX, DECEMBER 23. The da: is of the 9th,. 10th : 11th, 12th, and 13th have has no result favourable to the enemy ; he bas not been able to obtain the smalkst advantage, though he suffered immense loss. His situation is such, that he cannot advance a step. lie has.on his flanks the army of Bayonne, and that which is at St. Jean de Pied de Pon ; with the Ado'sr in front, which is defended by one of our divisions. His situ. ation is very perilous ; he can neither advat:ce nor retreat; so that those persons who were the most afraid are now quite easy. Our military position on the Lower Pyrennees seems to be still vary good._. The army of Bayonne is mistress of itt motions; it is going to be considerably reinforced by the corps which are forming at Toulouse and ar Bourdeatur, We shall also have immediately a lisle and numerous corps of cavalry cantone4 in the departments of the Upper and Lower Pyrennees, and of Gen, which re mains inactive, because the enemy on that side does not venture to leave the mountains, On the 10th, the Anglo-Portuguese thought they should be obliged to repass the Bidassoa, and com. milted at St. Jean de Luz acts of violence as horrid as those of their good friends the Cossacks we know this, and-ve now tremble at the. thought of seeing them in our fine country. People's minds are affected by it; their courage increases daily ; and the deceit ful confidence with which some too credulous per sons were inspired; by a few instances of good beha. vittur in our s enemies, on their entrance into the French territory, vanishes, and makes way for thlp only sentiment which we ought all to BOURDEAUX, DECEMBER $& x • A pretty considerable number of English'prisonerst is just arrived here. Twelve or fifteen cadre: of regi. menu have been here these. few days past to receive the depots. The Prefect has given a grand dioner to the Commanders and officers, to which the principal merchants were Invited. STRASBURG, DECEMBER 25. A corps of infantry has just set off for the Upper Rhine. We expect many troops from Metz and the environs. • The corps of the enemy, which had penetrated 04 the way of Colmar, has been obliged to make a retro‘ grade movement. COLOGNE, DECEMBER es. We learn from Nimegnen and Bois-le-Pue, that the whole line of the Waal is put in the best state of de. fence, which does.not,hinder the French troops from occupying . the whole island of Bonimel, situated be tween that river and the Rhine. This position, ren. - dered formidable by nature and art, is inexpugnable, till these rivers are frozen, which there is no appear ance of their being this year. LIEGE, DECEMBER i 7. The letters from Namur, Brussels, and Antwerp , confirm the continual march through 'those places 6f troops of the finest appearance. Letters from Grave, Venlo, Wesel, and Maestricht relate that the different corps receive daily consider. able reinforcements. VERONA, DECEMBER 19.
