BULLETINS ,OF CROWN•PIIINCE. Head-Quarters, Nentuumiter, Dec. 12, ISMS. His Ttoyal Highness, after having,.passed by Oldeiloh and Segeberg, removed his head-quar, , tees to Neumanster on the 11th inst The troops of General llorstell had an affair with the enemy before Wesel, on' the 2d of December. The re-' salt - was advantageous them. The regiment of Cossacks of llisculoff, which has already distin guished itself , on mail other'occs,sions, vv;as there covered with glory. Major Knoblock, of the corps of General Dor stell, surprised the town of Netts, opposite Dus seldorf. An eagle, a Colonel, 18 officers, and some hundred soldiers, were there taken. rbs 7 session was - also obtained of a magazine Of forage, and regimental clothing. Colonel Hole, who cimunanded the expedition, pursued the enemy as far as the road to juliei's. Thus the troops of the army of the'North of Germany find themselves on the French territory. It is still hoped, how ever, that the Grand Confederation, armed for the liberty and independence of the Continent, will not he forced to pass on, and seek in ancient France, that peace, of which all the inhabitants of the earth have slid) need. After a short bombardment, the corps of Ge neral Winzingerode has possessed itself of the fort of I.lothenburg. The garrison have been taken prisoners of war. The Prince of 'Eckmuhl, with a view of ob taining intelligence, and to make prisoner'S', has made a sortie' from Hamburg!) with all his cu valry : he had supported them with ;i reserve of si!veral battalions. .This corps, under the orders of the General of Division Vichcry, attacked an advanced post of the Cossacks placed at Toodorff, and pursued its march with so much impetuosity, that it entered Rahlitedtr along with the picket. The. regiment of COssacks which entered that place was obliged to retire upon Seik., where General Pablo& was, with six squadrons of regu lar cavalry, placed by General Woronzotf. In less than four minutes, these last forces were under' arms. General Pahlen, .well knoWp in the army bjrliis,military talents and manly intrepidity, int mediately led them to the charge. Col. Timen,. at the head of a squadron of the regiment of Izontn, began the attack with oo much vigour, that it immediately overthrew the enemy, who was from thenceforth in complete rout. ,They were pursued to \Vandsbeck. The road between 00(1 Wtmd , lis , rit strewed with dead ; more than 200 were counted ; and aboVil 150 pri soners, of whom one was an officer ; were taken. The Colonel of the Jutland dragoons was wouna cd, and died soon after Of wounds. General Durenberg attacked,with three batta lions., three regiments ut Danish infantry that had ennui out of Oldesloh. 1 lie enemy were briskly pressed as far ,a Bode, and night put an end to the combat. The General made. some prisoners. A squadron of dismounted hussars attacked the village of Bentliorst, where there . .wavUAoinPany of Danish inbuitry, , It made, 21.1 'prisoners, 'and dispersed the rest. A detaehmert of the advanced guard of General Walmoden has taken:ri , tiart of the enemy's baggage near Eckenfuhrile, and made some hundreds of prisoners. _ . Central Tettenborn, who has passed the Eyder with his corps; has occupied Prederichstadt, Ton siingen, and Husum, and has sent detachments to wards FlensboUrg and Sleswick. lie has 'stir iounchul the fort of Vollerwyk.' Ile has surprised at flarnau 120:carriages, conveying the sick of the hospital'of Altona. One hundred and twenty of the escort were made prisoners, the rest saved themselves by favour of the night, At I fusnin he t oo k seven cannon.: The General 1110 alsn dis armed the. Landsturm of Tonningen and frusum. More than 300 Muskets were taken there., One o f his detachments has destriiyed the depots yf ca.- N alry which were at Itzehoc. The enemy has lost many men in killed and Avounded. One officer, 100 soldiers, and 120 horses, have been taken, The Swedish army has advanced upon the Eyder, between Iteudsburg and Kiel. Its detach ments occupy this latter place. The head-quar ters of Marshal .Count Stedingls are at Preetz. The inhabitants of :Men, and of Eutin, have re ceived the Swedish troops with great acclama tions of joy._ .:Those towns have been illuiniated. General ;711doldebrand, who was engaged in the pursuit of the enemy, came up with them in front cat Bornhoft. He found that their force, Consist= pig of three, 'oattalions of infantry, and tWil regi ments of cavally, was.drawn up in battle, and had a battery of six pieces upon their left tlank. The fire of their grape shot became lively- and debt inc tive; but General Skioldebrand himself,. at the heattl'af- hiS troops, cl u with 'so mach vigour, that the: battery was carried, the battalions' broken, and forced to lay down their artos. Th 6 ene my's cavalry took to flight all tll;it of Ge neral Skinlitebrand pnrsued it, Ic;Ivil!g only a squadron W. reccive the hatialions which bad surrendered. By treachery, or at „the insthp,- tion of some their otiiceys, these troops toOk up their arms, fired upon our cavalry, and did great mischief. Sonictotadrons of hussars which pursued the enemy, immediately returned to the charge, and abredd those batfatiops.: As the ene my bad in the village of Bnrithoft a considerable carps Of reserve, only the battery, and about 300 prisoners . , could be taken. Their . lass in killed and wounded i* very heavy ;.onrs amounts t o about, 200 wen, and us many itorAcs, -; Captain Plant , • lug, Adjutant Cock, of the - Morner llussars, have been killed and Colonel cerierstor„,• of the game :•egistiont, wounded. The :Swedish • cavalry' displayed in this affair a rare iiltrepjai4 charged on very difficult ground three direren t kinds of arms (cavalry, artillery, and infantry),. and obtained complete success. It is painful to be obliged t mention combats which hive taken place bet:‘ : vveit the children of the North. They (night only.,to produce mourn ing and silence. The Sovereign whose policy has provoked them can aloue desire that they should be prolonged. Let us poke, that the King -Denmark will put an end' to this War of bee, ; and that his kingdotn, at»l that of Swed present. the image of one family united, tranquil, and happy. The enemy, cut off from Rendsburg by General Walmoden,tetired upon Kiel, twilled by General Sk ioldebrand. Be passed the canal, and pro ceeded by the opposite bank, npon the fortress after having destroyed tlie bridges. It required twenty-four hours to repair them. General Wal inoden, who had advanced to Klawenseck, threw others across ; and detached General Dornberg upon Eckernfolude, after having received iutclli gence that the enemy was retiring upon that point. The adVanced guard of General Walmoden had passed long . before. Some battalions, and a regi ment of hussars, is Ilia should have.,gttarded the , bridge, anti kept up the comtitunieritions with Ge neral Dornberg, were attacked at Ostenrode by the enemy's army ; which fearing, doubt,. that it should be destroyed'in its march upon Culling, took the sudden resolution of piercing to Fiends burg. The corps of General yalmodeat being separated could not arrive itt- time to take part rtn the action. This General sustained, with one regiment of husSars,' four battalions, and four pieces of '.cannon, t 1 lOttg and obstinate coin bat, against a : force of 1(1,000 men at least, with a numeNnts artillery. Success was ft long time balanced ; but ittlast the enemy were ena bled to gain possersimi of the road to Ilendsherg. The soldiers were often . mixed with each Other and ,although the number of DAlles was in the proportion of three to one, the field of battle re mained with Count Walmoden, The foot and horse chasseurs of, Mecklenburgh, which formed the advanced guard of General Vegesack, arrived in time to take part in the engagement, and to decide it. Its cavalry made a brillia»t charge' against the regiment of llolstein, and tinder the cross-fire of several battalions, which were piney& behind the hedges. Prince Gustavus of Meek leuhurgh, who has distinguished himself in an ex,- traordinary manner, has been wounded. His' great valour having borne him into the midst of the ene my, he fell into their hands ; but he was after wards exchanged for an officer of the same rank. It is hoped that his wounds will permit hint to continue the war. His conduct has been above all praise. Colonel Muller, of the Mecklenberg chasseurs, has conducted himself in a brilliant manner. Coant Waltnodcn has lost in this affair one cannon, anti (rain five to 600 men kill ed, Wounded, or missing. The loss of the enemy, 'by his own confession, is more than 1000 men:,— In this engagement, which does great honour to Count iValmoden, and in the preceding, which consisted of skirmishes, that General has taken eight pieces of cannon, and -100 prisoners. Young Lieut. Muldenfers, of the hussars of the legion, and Lieut. Matwenholz, of the intasars, with score of hussars, and the same number of verian chasseurs, have performed prodigies of va lour, and taken five cannons. The .Prince of nesse.has demanded an armis tice. It is probable tlrat the differences between Sweden and Denmark will moo be settled, and that Denmark will at last join herself to the • HEAn-QUARTERS, KiFt,, Dec. The armistice defflanded by the Prince of Hesse has been granted. It began on the kith initant, at midnight, and will finish, on the 29th, .at the Same hour. We shall rirofit . by this intervhl to push the operations against Hamburgh. The Danish army has been able to enter Rendsherg as it were by a miracle. Two hours later, and it would have been forced to buy clown its arias, or to disperse. The fort of Vollerwyk, has 'surren dered to the corps of General Tettenborn, after having been cannonaded for some days. The garrison are prisOners of war, and are notto'serve again till they ore exchanged. Eighteen cannons, and ten mortars have been taken there. The num ber of pieces of cannon taken by General Tetten born, since his entrance into the Duchies, amounts to thirty-eigl.t. The characteristic talents of the Cossacks, of extricating themselves out of difficulties on all emergencies, has shcwn itself on this occasion. For scant of artillerymen they themselves served the artillery, with which they fired against the battery. The most severe weather, roads almost impracticable, nothing stops these warriors; An army which has .Cossacks at its conimathl will al ways find its operations and its success facilitat-, ed by their vigilance. The forts of Frederickstadt and Cilnekstadtr are not included in the Armistice. If Abe Danish vernment wishes l'or peace, thesesplacts.u:M not., experience the horrors of a bgnnhardment. The' army has halted in the midst of its successes ; the time which it loses- by wai t ing for the cohclosion Of a peace is, of incalculable -importance. Thus have the Allies given to Denniark, and to Europe, an evident ,proof of their moderation. If hosti- I:ties recommence, it will doubtless be a great misfortune ; but no one can reproach the Allies with. those consequences. Two regiments of Cossacks, of the corps of General Benkennorf, . 'rove advanced upon Breda, The ,garrison. has evacuated that place, and re tired upon Antwerp, pursued by the Cossacks. The town of Breda, wherein 600 prisoners have been made, was immediately occupied by the al lied troops. Titus the Army of the North of Germany occu pier, at this moment, a line from Breda to, Dm- . seldorf. In consequence of, the armistice, it has recalled all the -parties . in Schleswig]; and Its troops bold in this duchy the line from .Eekern forde to Husnin. The dispositions have been so taken, that upon the 'extremity of each of its wings, it can assethble, an - apry of ,35,,000 risen in three 'flinches. This exposition ought to he sufficient to con. vince Denmark of the wrong which she has done to the Allies-and to the good cause. Every day is an age lost to the interests of that Govcruimmt, COTTENBZAGII MAIL. COITNIJACEt4, Dec. 3.---The Danish auxiliatty corps has certainly left DAVOL , S7, and according la the latest accounts were at (Jeltse. The al tillery is g'one CO Kid. General .W.EPNER, was disgyccd and imprisoned at Copenhagen for firing on. the French at.Wilhelmsteg, has been Set, • . at liberty, and got the whole command of the army at Sleswig and Jutland. Three more regi ments which had received orders to march for Holstein, have been countermanded, _so that thingibegin to wear it better aspect. Count liomneLL, who is said to be a great dir plomatist, has arrived here; he came_from Fran;- fort, by Rosttick, to Moen Island ; he was,ap.ip with M. ROSENKRANTZ, and we hope that .sotay arrangement will take place froth this last epan nel, and prove more successful than DULGO ROWSKY'S DUTCII P.II9EItS. Tits HAGUE, DEC; 27.—The following itnpor tont information, with regard to the situation of Antwerp, is derived :from persons worthy of cre dit, who reached Breda from that city on the 22d and 24th instant : " On the 20th instant, the naval force at Ant werp, consisted of 21 soil of the line, with some frigates sand gun-beats. They are provided with sufficient ammunition, and with a great deal of gun powder; with regard to which the French have given • out, probably to keep,the inhabitants in awe, that they will employ it, to blow up the town. Theshipi • crews are estimated at 900 men, who have al . - most all been 'transferred to the land set vice, only six or eight men being placed as a watch to each ship, Thelon(' troops may be about 9,000 men 1 they consist of some lancers of the guard, and a regiment of chassenrs of the guard com plete : moreover, 'all the depAts of the guard, and other troops which have been marched from , N Lisle, Valenciennes, Brussels, and the adjoining places, into the city ; between 3 and 400 dona- niers ; and, lastly, the 113th regiment, composed of mere boys, of the youngest conscription, who are not only unfit for bearing arms, but arc ex cessively disinclined to the service: The inhabit ants of Antwerp are in a ,rest degree destitute of ifrovisions ; all the wheat, barley, and rye meal have been collected ,for the teoops. The best spirit, however, prevails among them, and they anxiously long for the period of deliverance from the French." A DAC. 23.----Therc nre, reports here, that the advanced guard of a Russian force of 30,000 men, de3tined for Holland, has Veached Munster; and that they will cross the Rhine by a bridge of boats at Emmerik.—We expect here 2000 Russian troops, who arc coming from Zpol, and will cross the %Vaal by a bridge of boats be low Nimegum—Accounts from Wesel state, that the garrison there is daily weakened by the deser tion of German and Dutch troops. DbIIDRECII.T. DEC.—His Highness our Prince is expected to-morrow at Williamstadt, fur the purpose of inspecting that place, and the other fortresses on our frontier in succession, that they may be placed in the best state of defence. According to authentic accounts, the enemy broke up frotn before Breda, 'on their retreat to Antwerp, on Thursday morning ; and yesterday, at three in the afternoon, crossed at Zmlert.-- Their- force was about 800 cavalry, mostly lan cers, 3000 regular infantry, and a number of donaniers, national guards, &c. Our troops have advanced to nage, where they found 17 dead, of the 33J regiment. In all parts of our territory where the enemy has been, he left the usual marks of his robbery and love of plunder. The 'Village of Huge has suffered considerably. .. The garrison of Breda, by which they were so bravely repulsed, consisted of a division of Rus sian cavalry, two regiment of Russian infantry, commanded' by (general Benkendorf, and a newly raised 'national re 6 iment of 500 men. The latter, though mostly consisting of very young men,who had seen no service, behaved extremely %yell. TIEL, DIM 23.—The day before yesterday we received the joyful tidings, that the French had evacuated the greater part of the territory be tween the Maese and the Waal. It is 'supposed that thi4 retreat of the French has been caused by, the manoeuvres of the Allied troops on .the heft bank of the Maese. They are in possession .of Rave Stem, and their picquets arc advanced as far as (Irave. Tan lIAGus, DEC. 26.--A 7 oluntiry contribu tions are daily poured into the treasury, for the purpose of speedily equipping oar national army. Among others, a lady of the name of Vantioorn, has given 6,ooo,guilders for 'that purpose; and Messrs.
