THE NATIONAL REGISTER. ton Don, SUNDAY, JANUARY 24. WSPATCHES FROM LORD CATHCART. The Eltraordinary Gazette, of which we gave the sub. stance last week, will be found in another part of our co- lutnns. It will be -seen by the dispatches since received from Lord CAT tic ART, containing the last Russian Bulle tins, that the tear of the enemy which had been left at Kowno, after defending itself the whole day of the 17th December, within the fortifications of that place, attempted to leave it at night, hut was routed with the loss of 6,000 prisoueis, and '23 pieces of cannon. Offensive operations seem then to have been suspended on the part of the Rus sians, as Lord CAT RC A RT'S last dispatches, published in last night's Gazette, and dated the Qd inst. make mention of no further military movements. According to the Gotten burgh mails, the Russians had entered Koningsberg, and were on their march to Dantzic, whilst MuitAT, having col lected his troops midway between Dantzic and lVarsaw, pre. pared to give them battle, although without cavalry. We rattier doubt the advance of the Russians farther than Ko ningsberg, if they have entered that fortress, which would, no doubt, have been defended. They would await the effect Of the two following proclanihtions, issued by Prince SMO LENSK° at Wiltia, before they would proceed fiather with out giving rest to their army, which must also be much fatigued, after such incessant marches.

FOREIGN OFFICF, JAV. n3•' A dispatch, of which the fullow•ing is a copy, has been received by Vibe:Alit CA STLLRE A G 11, from Gen. Viscount CATIICART, K. T. dated St. Petersburg}, Jan. .2, 1813. My Lortn—l have the honour herewith to transmit to voiw Lord- ship copies of two Proclamations, together with a nominal list of the General Officers who have ben taken prisoners by the Russian armies. which I have just received from \Vilna, but which have not yet been published here. No further official intelligence of military operations has been re• ceived here since my last. Private letters of the Suth, from Lieba'l, mention, that the French troops stationed at rha( place marched, on the 2•2 d of December, fur Memel ; from which it appears impossible that they should not have been cut off, if 'hey attempted Tilsit, which was occupied, ott the 11th. by Count ICrriot i r EIN, who was near to•Konigsberg. I have the honour to be, ike. (Signed) CATHCART. DECLA it AT To N. At the moment of my ordering the armies under my command to pass the Prussian frontier, the Estetron, my Master, directs me to declare; that this step is to be considered in other light than as the in' evituble consequence of the military operations. Faithful to the principles which have actuated him at all times, his Tst- PERI A L MAJI STY is guided by no view of conquest. The sentiments of moderation which have ever characterized his policy are still the same. after the decisive successes with which Divim Providence has blessed. his legiiimate efforts. Peace and iedependerce shall be their result. These his MAJESTY offers, together with his assistance, to every peo ple, who, beiog at present obliged to oppcse him, shall abandon the cause of NAPOLEON, in order to follow that of their real interest invite them to take advantage of the fortenate opening which the Rus sian armies have produced, and to unite themselves with them in the pursuit of an enemy whose precipitate flight has discovered its loss of "power. It is to Prussia in paiticuLar to which this invitation is ad dressed. It is the intention of his Use Farm. MAJESTY to put au end to the calamities by which she is oppressed, to demonstrate to het King the friendship which he preserves for him, and to restore to the Monarchy. of FREDERIC its eclat and its extent. He hopes that his PausStAN MCI Esrv, animated by sentitneuts which this hank Decla• ration ought to produce, wi'l, under such circumstances, take that part alone which the wishes of his people and the interest of his states (its tumid. Under this conviction, the Ester:non, my master, has sent the the most positive orders to avoid every thing that could betray a spirit of hostility between the two powers, and to.-endeavour, within the Prussian provinces, to soften, as far as a state of war will yectuit, the evils which for a short time, must result from their occupation. • (Signed) The Marshal Commander in Chief of the Armies, PRINCE KUTUSOFF SMOLENSKO.
