Stettin is in our possession : while the left wing of the Grand Duke of Berg's corps, commanded by Gen. Milhaud, forced a Prussian column of 6000 :nets to capitulate at Passewalk, the right wing, mil -1 manded General Lassalle, summoned the town of ' Stettin to surrender, which it did on a capitulation, the ts.rins of which are subjoined. Stettin is a town infa good state for defence, well armed, and provid ed with pallioadoes. We found in it 160 pieces of cannon, and considerahle magazines, with a garri son consisting of 6300 line tro•ips, and a mother of Generals, who were made prisoners of war. Such is the result of the capitulation of Stettin, an event which can only be accounted for by the utter dismay which the destrudion of the great l'iussian army has produced on the Oder, and over all the territory on the right hank- of that river. Ot the whole of that great army, 120,000 strong, not a man has crossed the Oder. They %sere all either taken or killed, except those aho still wander between the Elbe and the Oder, but who will within four days be made prigoners of war. It is unneces sary to dwell on the unpoi lance of the rediaelion of Stettin, which is one of the first commercial towns of Prussia. and which secures to the army as exiselb nt line of operations. As soon as the columns commanded by the Dike of Weirnar and General Blucher, which are cut off on the right and left, and pursued on the rear, shall sue render, the army will take a few days rest. Nothing has yet hen learned respelling the Russians. Vie long much to see I 00,000 of them strive, but theoports of their march, we are afraid, are mere gasconade ; they dare not meet us. The battle of Austerlitz is still before their eyes. But what 411 intelligent persons must despise, is to hear the If Alexander and his direaing Aenate de dare, that it was the Allies of Russia writ) were de feated. It is well known over all Europe, that there is scarce a family in Russia that does not wear mourning, and it is tint merely the loss of their Al lies they d plore. Besides, 195 pieces of Russian sonnets which were taken, and are now at Stras burgh, were not the cannon of their Allies. T.e 50 Russian standards which are hung tip in the church of Notre Dame at Paris, are not the colours of their Allies. The crowds of Russians who died in our hospitals, or are imprisoned in our towns. Were not the soldiers of their Allies. But the Emperor Alexander, who commande4 so great an army at Austeilitz and Wischau, and who now displays so much ostentation, dui not, it seems, command the allies. The Prince who capitulated, sod bound himself to evacuate Germany by forced Osieches, was doubtless no allied Prince. When Mean deceptions like these are resorted to, it is im possible for one to hear them stated without a drug of the shoulders. Such, however, are the conse quences of the weakness of Princes, and the corrup tion of Ministers. It would have been a more plain and a more honourable course for the Emperor Alexander, had he ratified the Treaty of Peace which hit Plenipotentiary signed. and thereby given repose to his country. In proportion as the war continuo* the illusion of the powe? of Russia will be exposed; and that false idea will at last be completely remov ed. It was the policy of Catherine to produce a great impression by the display of her power ; and she succeeded no less in that objeft than the present Ministers will, by their extravagant efforts and fully, succeed in rendering the influence of Russia con temptible in Europe. On the 21st, the King of Holland arrived with the advanced guard of the Army of the North at Got tingen. On the 26th, Marshal Mortier arrived at Fulda. with the two divisions of the &h corps of the Grand Army, commanded by the Generals La grange and Dupes. At Munster, in the county of Mark, and in other Prussian States, the King of Holland funnel maga zines and artillery. At Fulda and at Brunswick, the arms of the Prince of Orange and of the Duke have been removed. Neither of these Princes will reign again. they were the principal instigators of this new coalition. The English would make no peace—they shall make it; but France will include more coasts and states in her federative system. [ l'he Capitulation of Stettin, which follows this bulletin, stipulates, that the town, and all the forts, shall he given up to the Conquerors, %with the Trolls sury chest, and all property belonging to the Prue. sten Government.

PARIS, NOV. 8. We have received London Papers to the 29th OR. We are unable to give any mare of them to-day than the most interesting articles relative to the ge neral affairs of Europe. Among this number is the Declaration of His Britannic Majesty upon the rup ture of the late 'lbis State Paper demands particular attention.— Since His Britannic Majesty judges proper to justify himself indireftly on the war which has just been re kindled upon the Continent, he must feel himself to be the author of it. indeed, upon perusing his De claration with attention, it will appear that he look ed upon the Negnciation which he opened (at least after Mr Fox's sickness had rendered that Minister a manger to the secret deliberations of the Cabinet) much less as a means of attaining Peace, thin as a feint fur the purpose of more effectually organizing the avowals he makes, and the information which break, through the vague and hidden expressions of this State Paper, will serve to bear as out in this opinion. It firmally results from the very words of this declaration, that it was France who again made the first overtures of Peace, upon the basis of afloat pos session, and on the most moderate terms. Now this t i n gle avowal actioite France of the reproach of am -baton, which the King of the Ut.ited Kingdom makes her, ar.,l shows England to be the with all its concomitant evils.

However, that on both sides the negociatir without any concert ; and a RI signed at Paris a Irp4rute treat hardly possible to believe that andet would have consented to he had entered into a contrary , the common rupture can ouly be segoent intrigues. We see in this vague and artful then the cnnditions at first proposed by the restrietions which were ►uccessively by the English Cabinet. The Em -- shewrd more ft wiliness, because' interest in concealing the truth. t. these conditions, and every sensible been as well surprised, at the modedat. see, from w that u i t d t e i b e e uec p a r c e proposed them, as at thr stnpidity or perfidy , caused them to he rejeCted. ;L it t i owwnaestrhees severalned . times puyt rumoured em a t navies tinn, that, at the moment of their being on the t of beirg so, the negociations were embarrassed to new incidents. The secret of these delays was, wait the result of the i:trigues then at weir, t o pet the Cabinet •of St. Peter:burgh changed, and agi. tate Prussia. Every time the distinsitims of the,: two Courts appeared to he pacific, the negrciatiet were resumed. They &al not take a decisive and warlike turn till alter the arrange refusal made !e , the Emperor of Russia to ratify the Treaty he had promised to approve without rest rye. Then indeed the negocietion proceeded only n ith diplomatic forms. When Islis Britannic Nlejonty speaks of Alt Akar. he makes no mention of Prussia. Yet the blockade of the Prussian ports was not executed. The two Cabinets were very amicably ennnelled in secret ye. latiom ; the English Goverfrme:.t would not expose Prussia ; however, the hostile attitude they kept with her was only a political masquerade: it breaks through the declaration. France WAS not the dupe of it ; but she, perhaps, too long suffered Lord Lau derdale to In it pair. which, from that moment, ap peared useless to the general good, sad unworthy of his personal charatter. The English Ministry did not reveal their alliance with Pi ussia before they saw her arrived on the field of battle. Then they sent her an Ambassador and 117011(1/ : then they looked upon the Prussian army as their own. This was first seen by the exultation with which they got it praised by their hireling %ni ters ; and afterwards by the ridiculous rumours • they set afloat cf its victories. Nothing would bet ter set off the successes of the--. French army, than to relate the extravagances with which the English Journaiists endeavoured to lull public credulity. We heartily regret our net being able to afford our readers this entertainment. Indeed, the very re treat alone of Lord Morpeth evinces the falsity of them to enlightened Englishmen, until the arrival of the inevitable trutu loads the hawkers of these reports with indelible ridicule. The remembronce of Austerlitz ought to have for ever disgusted the English Ministry from having recourse to such unworthy subterfuges. What are we, in general, to conclude from this de clef ation and these new shifts? What, indeed, bet that the war has again been made by the intrigues and for the sale interests of England ! After sacri ficing to this cruel projett the advantages which were proposed to her, is it not. singular she should still accost: the ambition of France ? that she should reproach her with seeking to make acquisitions, to the very moment when she was making cessions to her, which she is unable to deny ? It may torcher be seen, from this Declaration, that those whcm iingland calls her Allies, are necessarily the enemies of France. Thus, it anthorises the Emperor Napo- Icon to reduce them to an impossibility of hurting ; it forces him to augment the power it complains or; it evidently shows that peace is adjourned until England be whelly excluded from the affairs of the Continent.—(airztis.) mats. coy. I The Diunlution of the English Parliament makes or some days a haepy diversion from the news of the Continent. The iotrigties going forward every where for the General ,h leition. absorb the attention of politicians ; they seem to adjourn every other care. The hlinistry spare neither pains nor money to fill the Parliament with their creatures: the mistrust of their own strength bk. invert then to this measure. Bat the circurricences are far from being become more favonrab'e to them. the Grenville party are now betWecn two lires ; they have for their enemies the ftieesis of Mr. Pitt, and the supporters of Mr. Fox's system. — They have entirely alienated the former, AA can no longer adept their exaggerated opinion, without exposing themselves to public contempt and a cer tain downfal. Their position is maw equivocal and critical beyord which it has ever been. Several Ca binet conferences are every day held, at which the Prussian Minister attends. lluno when the Eighth Government have drawn any Continental Power to the brink of ruin, they have no other succour to af ford her but conferences/ But this serves at least to eso the concert which exists between the two Ca binets, and to enlighten those who night yet let themselves be misled by the dangerous promises of England. We are still at a loss what to think of the Russians. who never come hut as it were to witness the destruc tion of their abies. But we see by the late Bulletins, that the Emperor of the French is takmg measures to spare them a great part sit the journey.
