On the followin,T mornioz, at five o'clock, ti.,2 Prince of Pleu ordered him to be attacked. General Montbrun, taking advantage of the ugh votimble position occupied by the enemy's infantry mule a movement to the left, turned , him. killed a r.umber of men, made 700 prisoners, took four pieces of cn. , non, and many horses. The !arieicipal forces, however, of the Prince of Pless, lay behind the N. is. where he assembled them alter the ei , gagement of Strechlen. He left Schur. gait, and marching day and night, advanced as far as the bivouac of the Wurtemburg brigade, which were drawn us in the rear of Hub? anise Breslau, at eight is the morning he attacked with 600 men the village of Griesten, occupied by two battalions of infantry, and by the Litange light horse, ender the command of the Cjutant Commandant Duvey tier, bathe met with so trgeirous a reception, that he was forced to make 8 , pedi y reueat. General Montbrun and Minucci ri-cetved orders immediately o t their return from Ohl tu, to cut off the enemy's retreat. Cut the Prince of Plat made haste to disperse his troops, and made them return by de• t tell:news into the fortresses, abandoning in his flight a part of his artillery, a great deal of baggage, and sever Ai horses. He bad a number of men killed In this affair, and left us 200 prisoners. His Majesty has given orders to testify his seas faftion to the Bavarian and Wurtensburg troops. Letters received horn Buchare.t give some de. tails concerning the preparations for war making by Barey&ar and the Pasha of Widdin. OR the 20th of December, the advareed guard of the Turkish army, consisting of 15 000 Men. were on the frontiers of Wallachia and Moldavia. The Prince Dolgorrouski was also there, with his troops; they were dies in tl•e preseuce of each other. In passing thro' Bucharest, the Tu'ki•h Officers ap. peered very much animated s they said to a French Officer who was in that town —u The French shall see what we are capable of, we form the right of the army o f P u lsed s we shall thew ourselves worthy to be praised by the -Emperor Napoleon " Every thing is in motion through this vast em pire; the Sheiks aid Diann give the impulse, and every one in to arms, in order to repel the most unjust of aggressions. Count Italinsky has hitherto only avoided being mot to the Seven Towers, by promising, that en the return of his 11essenger, the Russians will have re ceived orders to abandon Moldavia, and restore Cheezim and Bender. The Streians, whom the Russians no longer dis- IWO* for allies, have talon possession of an Island in the Danube, belongi , bg to Austria, whence they vino:ma& HelgraJe. Auetsiaa Government has ordered it to be re-taken. Au.tria and France are equally interested in not seeing blohlavia, Wellseha, Servia, Greece, Ro- Incli4, and N atolia, become the sport of the Murco• vites. The interest of Engler's' in this contest is at least as evidcet as that of Prince sod Austria ; but will she acknowledge is ? Walshe impose silence on the hatted which dire Els her Cabinet ? Will she listen to the les.ons of policy and experience? Should she shut her yrs to the fulure, should she only live from day to dab should she listen only to her jea hmsy of France, Ole will, perhaps, declare war against the Porte, become the Auxiliary of the in satiable ambition of the Russians, and form for her self an ahyss, the depth of which she will not per ceive unt:l she hills hit° it. YIETY•FIRSi i.JLLErI , UF TITE ;RAND ARMY. AisAw,lAg. U. On the 29th of December, tine anneteJ dispatch ' 'anal Bennigsen, was received by the King of ..iatetl.origsbuig;i,w.ts immediately published i • postr,i up tiron,:;:rast t'..e town, where st excited the grear.st traospurts of j sy, the King was corn. plimears; on thr ocra,i,ra ; on the 31st in the evening, intelligence was gives by some Prussian co.rolsorattsl by cn;s-r advices from the country, of the real st see of taint:. Sadness ald constcrnstim were ;Ina so much the greater, as every one had airantlonesi himself to jny. It was the t resalyrJ to erdeu tte lirs%ing , hurg, and pre. /walkers! were immediately made for that purpasa. The treasure and must valusess:e property WAS im racd'iatcly sent off to Mraul. 11 The Qom, who was ►till iU, masked on the 3d Jan. from that lowa. the King set out from thence on the 6th, the remains of General Lestocq's division also departed from the same, after leaving At Kooingsburg two battalions aod a company of invalids. The King of Prussia's Ministry is composed in the foil ,wing manner t General Michel, still ill of the wound he received at the battle ofJena, is appointed Minister of Vat.% The President Sagebarthe is appointed Minister of the Interior. The present forces of the Provian Monarchy are as follow t The King is attended by t5OO troops. Gen. Lestocq has nearly 5000 men, comprising the two battalions left at Koningsburg with the ccmpany of invalids. Lieut. Gen. Hamburger commands at Dante; c, white he has a garrison of 6000 men. The inh.t bitaws h •re been disarmed, and it has been intimat ed to them, that in case of alarm, the troops will Era on all them who shall quit their hettses. Cusadon commands at Culberg, with 1800 men. Lieut. Gm. Coubiere is at Grandams, with $OOO men. The Frenehtroops are in motion. to surround and besiege these fortresses. A certain numb,r of recruits, whom the King of Prussia had caused to be assembled, and who were neither clothed nor armed, have been disbanded, because there was ao method of keeping them in order. Two or three English officers were at Konings. burg, and c.rosed hopes to be entertained of the ar rival of an English army. The Prince of Pless has io Silesia 12 or 13000 men, shut up in the fortresses of Erieg, Neis , Schweidaitz. and Kesselt. which Prince Jerome has csused.to be invested. Wr shall be silent concerning the ridiculous dis patch of Gen. Bennigsen, we shall only Tunic, that it appears to contain something inconceivable. Thss General seems to accuse his colleague, Ges.Busheiv den ;be says, that he was at Holum How could be be ignorant that Buzbovden was gone to Golymia, where he was beaten ; be pretended to have gained a victory, and nevertheless be was in full retreat et ten at night, and this retreat was so hasty that he abandoned his wounded. Lit him show us a single piece of cannon, a single French standard, a single prisoner. but 12 or 13 men who might have been taken here and there on the rear of the army ) while we can show him 6000 prisoners, two stand ards which be lost near Puhusk, and 3000 wounded, whom be abandoned in his flight. Should General Bushovtlen bare given, on his side, as true a relation of the engagement of Guly. min, it will be evident that the French army was beaten, and that in consequence of its defeat, it took possession of 100 pieces of ordnance and 1600 bag gage waggons; of all the hospitals of the Russian a:my ; of all its wounded, and of the important po sition of Sieroch, Pultusk, Ostrolenka, and obliged the enemy to fall back BO leagues. With regard to the inference attempted to be drawn by General Ben nigsen from his nut having been pursued, it is suf ficient to observe, that good ease was taken not to pursue him, because cur troops oetstretched him by two days march, and that but for the bad roads which hindered Maisbal Souls from following this movement, the Russian General would have found the French at Ostrolaika. It remains for us only to seek what could be the intuition of such a relation t It is the same, no doubt, as that the Russians proposed to themselves at the battle of Austerlitz. It is the same, no doubt, as that of the Ukzses, by which the Emperor Alexander declined accepting the Grand Insignia, because be said he had not commanded at that bat tle, and accepted the small Insignia for the sneers* he had obtained in it, although udder the command ul the Emperor of Austria. Ile says furthermore, he had the Grand Duke of Berg and Marshal Demons: against him, whilst. in lad, he had only to cope with the division, of Sachet. and the corps of Marshal Lames ; the 17th regi. meat of light infante', the 34:h of the line, the 64th, and the SBth, ara the only regiments that ught against him. He must have related very little on Cie position of Pultusk, to suppose that the French would take possession of that town, com manded within pistol shot. 'I here is, however, one point of view, under which the relation of General Bennigsen may be jus tified. Nn doubt but apprehensions were enter tained of the ere.% which the truth might produce throughout Prussian and Russian Poland, which the enemy were to cross, had it reached those countties, previous to his being enabled to place hie hospitals And si.attered detachments safe from all insult. TLese relations, so evidently ridiculous, may still prc,Jlce the advantages fur the Russians Lf delaying, for some days, the ardour which faithful recitals wU aet fad is intplie the TitAt with; and there are circumataucis in which a few 4471 gala a delay of some importance. Flperierce, however. has proved, that all wiles defeat end. and that in all things. simplicity and truth are the beat means is policy. FIFTY-SECOND OF T:IE GRAND ARMY. WAIISAW, JAM, 19, 1807. The Bth corps of the Grand krmy, commanded by Marshal M utier, has detached the second bat talion of light infantry to Wollin ; three companies of the SAMe regiment had scarcely arrived there, when, before break of day, they yr:T. attacked by a detachment of 1000 foot and 1 horse. with 4 pieces of cannon, from Colberg. The French, not appalled by the enemy's great superiority of num ber, carried a bridge, took 4 pieces of cannon, and made 100 prisoners. The rest were put to flight, leaving behind a number of slain and woctuded, in the city of Wollin. the streets of which were covered with them. The city of Brieg, in Silesia, has surrendered, after a siege of five days. Poland, rich in grain and provisions, affords us a plentiful supply ; IVarsaw alone, furnishes 100,000 rations per day. No diseases prevail in the army, nor k it possi• ble to take more care of the health of the soldiers than is done. Although the winter-season is already. so far advanced, no severe •frost has been hitherto experience/. The Emperor is daily on the parade, and reviews the different corps of the army, as well as the de tachments of Conscripts who arrive from France, and are supplied w;tis shoes and other necessaries cut of the magazines at lifarsaw. In the debate on Mr. Basun cries motion, last night, in the House of Commons, Lord Hume Party declared, in the most positive terms, that . since the accession of the present ►Ministers, net a single place had been granted in reversion ; but that, on the contrary, they bad solemnly renounced a ptaaice so pregnant with evil, and calculated to entail national abuses. Several colliers, we understand, have been•taken up by Govismanst, to befitted out as transports.— We also learn, that part of the 21 Battalion of the sd Regiment of Goatds will march to-morrow to Chad inn. This being Ash.Wednesclay. the Bishop of Lois. DON will preach before the Nobility. at the Chapel Royal. The ROYAL FAMIL• dil not come to town yesterday, as was expeaed. but will come today. Yesterday morning, His MAJESTY, Princesses AuansT A. Sestet* and Altai-lA, attended by lady Bot.art.EY. Generals Seances ant Flexes's', and Colonel TAT Loa, took an airing stn horseback. It is said, that a proposal of rather a delicate na ture, has been made to the Spanish Government, through a neutral medium, for the recovery of Gen. EIRRISPORD, and his army; but that, through a premature discovery of it by the French Resid nt, it has entirely failed. Thirty-six ships are fitting out at Hull. for the Davis's Straits and Greenland Fisheries, the ensuing season; being four less in number than last }ear. The Spanish Gazettes, received by the Lisbon Mail, contain the O ffi cial Accounts of the Re-captute of Buenos Ayres, on the 12th of August, and of the appointment of the PRI sca of Peace. to the great office of High Admiral of Spain. and the Indies, and Proteftur of Commerce. with the title of " Se. rene Highness."

A Meeting of the Committee of Ship Owners for the Port of London. was bell on Monday at the London Tavern. at which it was resolved. that the new Financial System, so far as it proposes to continue the War Taxes upon the Tonnage of ships and vessels of Great Britain. must be at tended with ruinous consequences t the shipping interest of this country, and that the shipowners in London and the outports should immediately petition both Houses of Parliament. imploring them not to accede to any proposition for the continu ance of said duties on tonnage, after the termination of the present war ; and as the continuance of the war duties, on British matsufaCtures expo** and carried cm itwire. must also be attended with far ther bad cnnsequenr's to the shipping int.rest ; that an early communication be had with the marling and maatlearri,se interests, to call.their attention, not only to the probable consequence of the said l'.ess but to the present lamentable s ate of British shipping. .to the depression in the Ntarkets of all sort of West ham and Avast bah, p-educe and ma nufaaures, and to the sragnatiesi of Trade ingemerd, principally resulting from the relarstioa of our old maritime regulations, and to the indulgences which have been afforded by the Bri'lisA Government to Nertrah, both in the trade of the contours of the INSINieI of Great Britain, and in the trade of the Kirs's dominions. swox LA?
