The inlet air stal be his head-quarters at Poem. The following address from General Kosciusko ris the Poles, has been circulate] amongst them:— " Amidst the clangor of arms. which re-echoes from Poland, Kosciudto is about to join you. In the enterprise of the French, in their triumphs, and by their awful eagle hovering before them, you will dibtingnish those legions which display their cou rage in the four quarters of the Globe, and in on campaign have dispersed the ut.ited farce of two great Empires, and have lately, in one week, anni• bilated the labour of a century, the woik of Fre derick, and the trophies of his old and celebrated Generals. " Dear Countrymen and Friends, who have proved yourselves to possess a degree of fortitude equal to our misfortunes ; you who, banished from your native soil, have remained under a nation ti ;easily to Poland ; and you, who, having become strangers in the heart of that country, nevertheless preserved the sense of glory, and the recolledien of your brethren, arise ! the Great Nation is before ; Napoleon expels, mad Kosciusko calls you." This Declaration concludes with the following p usages—ea I soon shall again behold the paternal e.rth which my arm defended ; those fields which I hsve bathed with my blood ; and, with t • f joy eadat.ce thole unfortunate friends whom I was n t permitted to follow to the grave; beloved and brave countrymen, whom I was compelled to abandon to the yoke of the cestmaerets, I ha►e only lived to avenge your wrongs, aed I sow return to restore you to freedom. Sacred remains of my country I I hail you with translate , and embrace you with a sacred mania. I will join you, never more to part Worthy of the great man whose arm is trended towards you, worthy of the Poles who now hear my voice. I shall now endeavour to establish a mare splendid and stable basis ; or, if the name of my native country ameunted to nothing mire with my fellow-citizens than empty words, in tl.is ca•. I shall know how to avoid my disaster and pier disgrace, by burying myself under the noble ruins of our aspiring fortune.

JANvAtiv S. We announced, on Saturday, the arrival of the fourth Gottenburgh Mail then due. It contained letters and papers to the 28th last. We have also received Parts Papers to the *oth, containing the 38th and 39th Bulletins of the Grand Army of France; but we wee already in possession of the intelligence which they bring, through the medium of the Gottenburgh and other Foreign Papers. The reports of battles betaeen the French and Russians, in Poland, are exploded by the latest ac counts from the theatre ut War. Bo AAAAA xi ap. pears greatly disappointed by the prudent condo& of the RUSSIAIII, in declining a general battle prema turely.

At the date of the latest accounts, he was still at Posen, but he was expected at Warsaw on the nd. Great as his ambition undoubtedly is, Warsaw will pro bably prove the limit of his campaign.

Frw this purpose, the conscripts are flock ing from France, and Koscrosco is ordered to in vite the Poles to join the ranks ot N A etti.rom. The relations between France and the Ottoman Porte have been hitherto the subject of contradictory state ments. The 39th Bulletin, however, asserts. that war has not only been &dared by the Emperor A Lig SNlDtit against the Ottoman Porte, but hosri• lities have actually been commenced. General Mictietson, who has the chief command of the Russians in Wallachia, has closely invested Choczim and Bender, and has pushed his advanced posts over the Dniester, as far as Jassy. In Silesia, Jasosee—Borearanrc eorstinues Isis progress without the most distant chance of a check. Given, as we have already stated, hat fallen by a shameful surrender, and the fortress of Plastem burgh shared its fate. The Thirty-eighth Bulletin speaks, in confident terms, of the speedy reduaion of the whole of Silesia. General Moscriza is making preparations for the siege of Stralsund. The King snd Queen of Paussta were at Ke ningsberg en the 17th last. The Negotiation Papers will be taken into consi deration this day, in the House of Commons.— Upon 'Ounce to our Report of the Debate upon that subject, in the House of Lords, on Friday night, it will be found that Lord Cinema& declared, that a shade of difference of opinion in thircoaJudi of that business, never existed among His Mastilltrv's Ministers —This declaration is interesting to those who have read the impudent articles circulated ty the French Government, intimating that hie auo ciates in office all differed from Mr Fox, and weie only restrained by his superior talents ; and the no less candid remarks to the same rife& in some of our own loyal, liberal, and truly patriotic Prints ! ! !

ALEXANDER, iliftloll 07 •LL TUC RUSSIA% &C. &C. &C. Our Manifesto of the 30th of Alguit, declared the situation of our affairs with the French Govern ment. At that period of our hostile situation. Prussia still formed a barrier between us and the French. who tyrannized over various parts of Germany. But. soon after. the fire •1 , 1 war blazed asst in Prussia also ; after various disasters and important losses on her part, our own dominions on the frontiers are now threatened by the game. To Russians. accust,,rned to love the glory of their country, and to sAcrifice every thing to it, it is unnecessary to caplain bow unavoidable these events have made the present war. Honour unsheathed our sword for the proteeion of our Allies : how much mere justly must it be drawn for the defence of oar own safety 1 Before these events could approach our frontiers, we took, at an early period, every measure to be ready to meet them. Having, in gond time, ordered our away to more loaritcl the frontier, we hen t stew otoliwininond oar Ot•eral Field-Marshal Kamen eko, so doioinaad it. and to ao aguinit the enemy with all the forces entrusted to him. We are assured, that all our faithful whj•Rs will join us in fervent prayers to the Almighty, who di reds the fate of States, and the issue of battles, that he may take our righteous cause under his all-pow erfal p rotedion, that his victorious strength and bl-ssing may dire& the Russian armies employed for rep lling the general foe of Europe. We are confident, that our faithful &Ojeda of the Government on the frontier will, in the present cir cumstances, particularly, redouble the proofs of their attachment and their seal for the crAtmoss good; ar d that, unshaken by fear or delusive promises, they will tread with firmness the same path in which, under the protedion of the laws, and of a mild go vernment, they have hitherto enjoyed tranquillity and undisputed property, and shared in the univer_ sal prosperity of the whole empire. Lastly. we are confident, that all the children of the land. relying on the help of God,on the valour of our troops, and on the known experience of their leader, will spare no sacrifice. no efforts, which patriotism and the safety of our country may demand.
