9s of Elbing, Liebstadt, and (Arendt, are the tiqest , n this country, and the Emperor has chosen them for the of his left win. Marshal Mintier has gone back to Swedish Po merania. Stralsund is blockaded: and it is to be regretted that the enemy have, withcrit any reason, burnt the fine suburb of Kiiiper. The fire pre sented a horrible speeacle, and more than 2000 per sons are, in consequence of it, destitute of any home or shelter. PROCLAMATION.

'int Polish corps under General Dombrowski, goes into winttr-quarrers with the Grand 41my ; its cantonments will be at Gniewie, Amsterwalde, Geehlt, Backwi;t, and Nowie. Poles who are with Marshal Lefebvre consist chiefly of cavalry, and very much distinguished themselves in the a.Son at Matienwerder. The Marshal had his tleaftquarters at that place on the 12. h. 8. . . While the principal part of the Grand French Army was employed in driving the Russians beyond the Preget, General Savary, who, in consequence of the indisposition of General Lames, had the corn mand of the fifth corps of the Grand Army, which was left behind on the Bug, to hold in check the atuss:atiGeneral Von Essen,who was cantoned on the upper part of that river, attacked the enemy on the 14th, at Ostrulenska, and gained a comph te viflory. The accounts received here of the less sustained by General Essen, state it to consist of eight pieces of cannon, two standards, and 1900 prisoners. Prince Italinski, the son of Gene ral Suwarrow, who commanded the Russian cavalry, is severely wounded. General Savary pursued the enemy there leagues, but as his orders direeed him not to leave hip position, he could not follow them farther. The last accounts from the French head quarters, are dated Lisbstadt, the 20th. since tbe affair of the 16th, no aaron had taken place. The Russian and French armies were occupied in resuming their respective winter quarters. It is asserted that the French head quarters will be re. moved to Osterode, in order to establish a better communication with the different corps of the army. On the 17th, the Grand Duke of Berg had his head quarters at Wittenberg, not far from the Preget, while his pattuies were pushed close to Konings berg. With respect to the exchange of the Ftench Ge neral % ictor, it is said that it has probably already fakeer pliee,thnugh not flr General Blucher, but for the Prince of Orange. If this report be realised, it expected that Gen-r.,l Victor will be employed against Colberg, as that enterpriae was formerly allotted to him. We learn from Memel, that the Prussian Secretary of Legation, Schulby, is ap pointed Cherg,: .I,fairts to London. IT:TTIM, FEL 4. RespeAing the military operations commenced on the left . bank of the Vi.tela for tile bkcitade of Colberg and Darotz.ic, we have received the folios-. ing information On the It the town of Star gard was attacked ty a Prussian detachment of 500 infa7t: y, 200 cavalry, and three pieces of cannon, from the garri.;en of Colherg. The Frcnch garrison which wai in Colimerg made so brave a resistance, that the Pr siaos were obliged to retreat with the loss of some dead acd wounded.

We received, last night, Hamburgh Papers to the 4th, French to the 7th ; and Dutch to the 10th inst. The Voniteur cordaiiis the 59th, t:Oth, and Gist Bulletins of the Grand Army; the turn former dated Eylau, to the 17t 1, the latter Land.berg, the Ifith February. The French head quarters, how ever, had been removed to Liebstadt on the 20th, from which they were expeeled to be carried farther back to Osterode,and front thence to Thorn:llre Rus sian army had previously crossed the Pregel on the 9th, and fallen back upon Koningsberg. It thus appears that no ali'on had taken place between the Grand Armies, subt:equert to that on the Bth, at Eylati, acid that the French are retreating to the Vistula. The titM: Bulletin states, that they were going into cantonments, with their left wing in a line from Liebst.:dt. and Osterode. General Bah r 11117 had written ten days before to Madame BO NAPANCE, boasting. that on the day after the date of his letter, the French army would be at !Coning,- berg. Waria.r au r a has, however, thought fit to charge his mind. His patroles had been pushed as far .4% that car ; but be unfortunately discovers that it is not worth taking, and that he has no interest beyond the Pregel. The weather is very fine. and yet he must go into winter quarters. Nailing will satisfy him but winter quarters. One would suppose, that he is one of the Seven Si2epers, and not the man, whose aElivity in the field only increased with the vigour of the climate and the season. These apparent inzonsistencies may be easily explained. The French stray auflemil severely at Eylau. The 59th Bulletin is indignant at the Russian repent of claiming a vi Tory, and asserts that the alleged capture oh 9 French Eagles, is false. We care only say, that Graeral Baansosast sent 19 to St. Peters burgh, six of which float upon the walls of that city. ft is also admitted, that 3,0(a) of the Russian pri soners have been liberated by a ccrps of Cossacs Letters from Warsaw state, that the corps of General ESIMN was defeated at Ustiolenka, on the I fith February. We had been led to suppose that General Ef.stri's corps had jqined the grand Rus. sian army.

The loss of the French was about twenty-five men. salsr, res. 27. We have received a fresh proof of the total in efficiency of the English system of blockade. 'ibis day a French man of war, of 80 guns, stood into the Bay of Bertheaume, in order to enter our roads. This ship is the Foudroyant, commanded by Captain Antoine Henry. and has on board Rear Admit al Willaumez. This Admiral, who commanded the squadron of which Prince Jerome's ship formed a past, was obliged to run into the Havannah. This unobstructed arrival will probably form a subjell of accusation against the English Admiral who commands the fleet stationed before this port, as neither wind nor weather favoured the entrance. Bats, MARCH S. Of the six ships of the line which comprised the division of Vice-Admiral Willaumez, the Ccsiti:d. and the Ve:cran, have long since arrived in our liar. bnors. The &obit, and the Patr:ot, are in the piked States.

The Fosulroyarst, which, in consequence of the same storm, was obliged to pot into the Histannah, is now returned to Brest. Thus this division, after a long cruise on the coast cf Africa, the South of tire Line, in the Antilles, and to the North of the United States, has eluded all the enemy's squidrcns which pursued it ; done consi derable injury to the English commerce ; and not lost a single ship, in consego:•ace of any cif in of the overgrown power of an enemy, vvho boasts of commanding in every sea. H•MBUROH, MARCH 3. It is remarked. that since the conference took place at Kr.l, between the Crown Prime of Den mark, .r.d the Swedish and French Ministers, an evident coolness has prevailed between the Courts of Sweden and Denmark. The former, it appears, has reielled the mediation of the latter, though the Danish Govern ment a:fried to use its good offices in endeavour ing to resit:we the ancient friendly ream:its which subsisted between Sweden and France. It is re. fated, that. at the last conference, a certain per:o. nage, of t1..7 highest consideration, said to the Swedish Minister, Baron Von Taube—i• Well, be it so; since your Master is determined to lose Po• merania, let him lose it." ••• Fa to Account "( the New Anotllate, dike Limo &c we the lea ritgo.
