FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, JvLI , €.l. SIXTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY. " WILNA, Jell 11, 1812.—The King of Naples Continues to follow the enemy's rear-goard. On the 3th he met the enemy's cavalry in a position upon the Dwina. ;fie caused it to be charged by the brigade of light cavalry, commanded by General Baron Su. beryie. The Prussian regiments, the Wirtembergers and Poles, which form a part of this brigade, charged with the greatest intrepidity. They overturned a line of Russian dragoons and hussars, and took SOO prisoners, with their horses. When they arrived ou the other side of the Dwina, they broke down the bridges, and showed a disposition to defend the pas: op of the river. General Count Montbrun then brought up his five batteries of light artillery, which, during several hours, carried destruction into the !mks of the enemy. The loss of the Russians has been considerable. " General Count Sebastiani arrived on the same • day at Vidzoni, whence the Emperor of Russia had departed on the preceding evening. " Our advanced guard is upon the Dwina. , " General Count Nansouty was, on the sth of Suly, at Postavoni. In order to pass the Dziana, Xproceeded six miles farther on the right of the ing of Naples. The General of brigade, Roussel, with the Ath regiment of Polish light cavalry, and the 2d regiment of Prussian hussars, passed the ri ver, overthrew six Russian squadrons, sabreda great number, and took. 45 prisoners, with several officers. general Nansouty praises the conduct of General Roussel, and mentions, with commendation, Lieut. Berke, of the Prussian hussars, the Sub-Officer liranse, and the hussar, Lutze. His Majesty has 4iranted the insignia of the Legion of Honour to Ge neral Roussel, and to the Officers and Sub-officers above-named. " General Nansouty took 130 Russian mounted hussars and dragoons prisoners. " On the 3d of July, the communication was opened between Grodno and Wilna by Lida. The Netman Platoff, with 8000 Cossacks, when driven out of Grodno, moved towards Lida, and found there the French posts. He descended to Ivie on the sth. " General Count Grouchy occupied Witchnew, Traboni, and Souboinicki. General Baron Pagol was at Perchia ; General Baron Bade Soult was at Blackchtoni ; Marshal the Prince of Eckmuhl was in advarice of Bobrowitzki, pushing heads of co lumns in every direction. " Platoff retreated precipitately on the 6th, to 7cikolaew. " Prince Bagration haring set out in the begin ning of JO) , from Wolkowisk on his route for NV& na, was intercepted in his march. He turned back with a view to reach Minsk; anticipated there by the Prince of Eckmuhl, he al'ered his direction, gave up his intention of proceedit.g towards the Dwina, and moved towards the Boristhene, by Bobruisk, across the marshes of Beresina. " Marshal the Prince of Eckmuhl entered Minsk on the Bth. He found there considerable magazines of flour, hay, clothing, &c. Bagration had already arrived at Novoi-Sworgiew : perceiving that he was anticipated, he sent orders to burn the magazines ; but the Prince of Eckmuhl did not give time for ef fecting these orders. " The King of Westphalia was on the 9th at No wogrodek ; General Replier at Konina ; magazines, baggage waggons, quantities of medicines, and strag gling parties, fall into our hands every instant. The Russian divisons are straying in these countries with. out any previously arranged route, pursued on every tilde, losing their baggage, burning their magazines, destroying their artillery, and leaving their places without defence. " General Baron Colbert took, at Vileika, a ma gazine of 300 quintals of flour, a hundred thousand rations of bread, &c. Ile found also at Vileika a chest containing 200,000 francs, in copper money 66 All these advantages have scarcely cost the Trench army a man. Since the opening of the cam paign there have been but about 30 killed in all the Corps, about 100 wounded, and 10 prisoners, whilst we have already taken from 2,000 to 2,500 Russian prisoners. _ _ " The Prince of Schwartzenherg passed the Bug at Droghitschin, pursued the enemy in different di rections, and made himself master of many baggages carts. The Prince of Schwartzenberg praises the rir ception he has met with from the inhabitants, and the spirit of patriotism which animates these coun tries. " Thus, ten days after opening the campaign, our advaoced posts are upon the Dwina. Almost the', whole of Lithuania, containing four millions of in habitants, has been conquered. The operations of the war commenced at the passage of the Vistula. The projects of the Emperor were from that time plainly unfolded, and he had no time to lose in car- ! Tying them into execution. Thus, the army has been making forced marches from the period of passing ; that river, in order to advance by means of ma- ! pceuvres upon the Dwina, for the distance between the Vistula and the Dina is greater than that be-1 tween the Dwina and Mosiere, or Petersburgh. " The Russians appear to be concentrating them selves upon Dunaburg : they give out that it is their intention to wait for us and give us battle before we enter their strident provinces, after having abandoned Poland without a contest, as if they were constrained by justice, and had wished to restore a country badly acquired, is as much as it had not been gained by fireaties, or by the right of conquest. 44 : The heat continues to be very violent. ". The people of Poland are in motion on all Mats. Ti n White Eagle is heisted every where. — Nests, Nobles, peasants, women, all call for the independence of their nation. The peasants are ex tremely jealous of the happiness of the peasants of the Grand Duchy, who are free; for, whatever may be said to the contrary, liberty is considered by the Luthuaniaus as the greatest blessing. The- peasants express themselves with a vivacity of elocution,_ which would not seem to belong to the climates of Ithe North, autlall embrace with. transport, the hope . r , 11 l'il 1:i. k ft 1 t P: l' .1 .. .

' " &moseys !—To communicating to you the Proclamation of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, I am convinced of the sentiments with which vou will reply to his appeal, and that yon will readily perceive that a new field is opening to you in which you will cover yourselves with glory. Already in two wars you have had an opportunity at recognizing the restorer of mour coun:ry, and of la) jag the foundation of the glory of the olish army. I have no doubt that, forming as you do In the present war, in the grand army, a corps, which this powerful 'Protector has hia self denominated the Army of Poland, and which is to decide the fate of many millions of Poles, your countrymen, -you will then prove yourselves worthy of the French, in conjunction with whom we fight, as well as of those projectors which has e, daring so long a period, formed the ob ject of our wishes, and which now begin to he put in execution for us. We ought, then, to redouble our efforts. l.et no fa tigues -no privations, enfeeble the warlike spirit which we have inherited.
