It is - this moment reported that 18,000 Prussians have arrived at Zstioll. , r The hallowing is an extract of a private letter received here, dated Nancy, Nov. 18, 1813 : '''' I received your lett4ir of the 12th, which tranquilized me with regard to your personal safety, about which T was not a little alarmed. It was yesterday reported here, that in order, to prevent the enemy from entering Holland, orders had been given to cut down the dikes. So desperate a step has struck me with horror. You can have no idea of all that is said here,—how men speak out and , clamour, not only in . private houses, but its coffee-houses, Inns, the streets, and market-places; country-people and town's-petTle, all are loud in their complaints, and what nut a little contributes thereto is, that we are now assured of the destructive defeats of the army, of which, it is currently reported, that there arts not now ao,ooo men left in a state fit for sect ice; officers and men conic back with sticks in their hands; the former have no longer any soldiers to command, and the latter arc without arms. But the most horrible spectacle of all are the sick and wounded. The hospitals are crowded wills them; they are lying upon straw;` about eight hundred of. them have been sent to lleauceryille, where they are starv ing like mice. In short, ail that you see is lamentable, Some who are less sick than others, are begging alms on-the high ways. They arc must of them young conscripts; who look so pale and misshapen, that every one exerts himself to give theM something to eat and to warns them : hut what adds to our misfortunes, we are to have 15,000 men quartered upon us, fur wham we must not only find lodging hut also food. Since last week the price of the common wheaten loaf, which cost 30 soup, has risen to 44 sous; and this not from any want of corn, of which there is abundance, but from the want of hands to , thresh it, which is not woolen's ;work. To-du t y sonic fugitives have arrived from Cologne. • " At Meta 40,000 men are eolleettd. Not a lodging in to be got the: e, "'The people here are afraid of- being sooner invaded by the enemy than you in Holland. Pork costs here 22 sou.;, and other kinds of meat 17 sous. There' are no longer arti sans here. When you want a pair of shoes, you must be speak them two months beforehand. Such is the wretched situation of Nancy. • ".1s to the army, I can give you no certain information. All who come here from it, bring with theta the most dismal reports." AmwreanAst, Nov. 24.—Major Marklsy this day appeared with a party of Cossacks, before the Halfweg of Haarlem, and took possession of ' that place in consequence of the capitulation of . the French garrison.
