General HAUTTOULT had died of his wounds. The 80th Bulletin is also dated at Eylau, and the 6lst at 'ntisberg on the 13t.h. The former relates princi pally to some successes said to have been obtained by the French in Silesia ; the latter announces the retreat of the French Army in Poland for the purpose of going into winter quarters. It is curious to observe the inconsistencies into which the writers of late French Bulletins have fallen, by en deavouring to convert d defeat into a viaory.- We are told in the GI st Bulletin, that the gt eatest,alarm prevailed at Konigsburgh - on the gth, in consequence of the vi6lory of the French on the sth ; but " it was fortunate, however, for this town, that it did not come within the plan of the French Generals to drive the Russians from this position." It is very singular that General BERTHIER should have been so totally ignorant of the plan of BONA PARTE as to vvrite, on the 7th, to her Imperial Ma jesty, that the French would be in Konigsburgh the next day, But these Bulletins acquaint us with another very important faa, viz. that though the Russians have been uniformly defeated—though they have lost above 40;000 men, and almost all their artillery, and have retreated in dismay behind the Pregel, yet it is not thc intention of the French General to pursue them any farther " that River is a 'boundary beyond which the French Army has no interest to pursue them." This is the first time that the River Pregel has been announced as the boundary of the French conquests. But a few Xnouths are passed since we ,were told that the French Eagles would be displayed at St. Petersburgh is well as at Vienna and Berlin. This determina tion is now, it appears, given up : the Pregel is dtelared to be the ne plus ultra of the French arms, and having:_approached that important Vershaving - attained .that great objetithe. purr.. .i 3 o s ts of the Catri . p alga are efft4ed, and the French 'Army have nothing more left to do . but to retreat quietly i n t o winter quarters. Such are the absurdi ties Lv, which m ONAPARTE is . reduced id endea- . ksours to delude the People...6f France, and. to conceal rrom them the late events in Poland.

ST. PETERSLURGH, PEE. 15.—0 n the Bth of this mouth the Russian Army gained a splendid vi&ory over the French at Prussian Eylau. The French army on this occasion consisted of more than 120,000 men ; the,Russians, of General BENNIGSEN'S divi sion and of that which was formerly commanded by Gen. BUXIIOVIDEN. The battle began on the 7th of February, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and continued till 6 o'clock on the evening of the Bth. Bo NArARTE renewed the attack eight different . times, and was as Often repulsed. According to General BENNIGSEN'S Letter to the Emperor, dated the Bth of February, the Russians have lost in this battle more than 6000 men, the French above 12,000, among whom are reckoned 1000 who were made prisoners; besides this, the Russians have taken 12 stand of colours.l In another account it is said, that a great part of the French Army (chiefly chosen troops) were fairly cut down by the Russians; and that on the Russian side four Generals were killed. It is remarked, that in case BONAPARTE'S design had succeeded, it would have been conclusive of the campaign.. He knew that General BENNIGSEN'S Division was stationed at Mahrungen, and Gen. ESSEN'S at Wisocke-Mase wiek, and as they were consequently at a great dis, tance from each other, lie threw himself with his whole force between these two Divisions, in a right line with Konigsburgh, in order to separate them, or cut them of from each other, and fall with more effed upon the weaker part but the success of this plan was prevented by General -BENNIGSEN'S opera tions and rapid movements.' Towards tilt conclusion of the battle, there was a want of cartridges on both sides; and, therefore . „re course was bad, to the bayonet, which caused .great carnage. raom - THE FRENcII P4PERS. FIFTY-NINTH BULLETIN RAND ARMY. " PRUSSIAN EYLAIT, rZIS, 14.... The enemy is taking a position behind the Pregel. Our troops have approached.

The number of can non taken since the battle of Bergfried amounts to nearly sixty. The pventy4our ,which the enemy . left •behind'them at Eylau have been sent to ThOrn. " The enemy has circulated the following ac count : every syllable of it is false. The enemy at tacked the Vistula, and was continually repuls,,M.— He acknowledges to have sustained a loss of .26,000 in killed and wounded. His loss is a great deal more.

This was believed at Konigsbtirgh the whole of the evening of the 9th. However, the Russian Army and the Head-quarters making their appearance soon after, excited a very great alarm. Presently, some cannon shots were beard, and the French were seen' masters of a small eminence which commanded the whole Russian camp. " The Russian General declared he would defend the place, which in some degree . increased the de spondency of the inhabitants, whoexpeCted nothing less than to undergo the same fate as Lubec had ex perienced ; but, happily for the City of Konigsburgh, it was not among the objeas of the French General to drive the enemy out of his position. " The number of dead in Generals and Officers of the Russian army is very considerable. " In consequence of the Battle of Eylau, upwards of 5000 wounded Russians, left upon the field, and in the neighbouring hospitals, have fallen into our bands. Part of them are since dead ; the others, who were slightly wounded,. have increased the number of prisoners of war : 1500 have been sent back to the Russian army. It is thought the Rus sians had 15,000 wounded, exclusive of the 5000 that fell into the hands of the French. . . " The army is gone into quarters. - The neigh bourhood of Elbing, Liebstadt, and Osterode, is the finest,part of the country. The Emperor has made choice of this situation to establish his left wing. " Marshal MoRTIER has advanc,ed into Swedish Pomerania. It is a pity that the enemy should unne cessarily have set the fine suburb of Kuper on fire. .It exhibited a lamentable speetcle.

LowER ELBE, MARCH-I.—The last battle, fought five miles from Koning,sburgh, has been one of thd most destruetive in the history of the present war. The number of killed on both sides ;s stated At 30,000. It seems that a strong colump of Russians that had'escaped the battle of. Mohringen, and ap proached the Vistula, was cut off from the main *body, and was not able to force its wa y th roug h t h e enemy without the greatest difficulty, and the loss of much artillery and men. The Russian centre was six times attacked by the French; if they. had suc ceeded in breaking through it, they would have be come masters.of Konigsburgh, and the rich maga zines in that city. The Polish insurgents have to' regret the loss of one of their bravest leaders, Gen. KOSINSKY, who' has had the misfortune to be taken prisoner by the Prussians. . . . • The Prussian marauding party, that has penetrated as far as Franckfort on the Oder, has, it 'is said, taken a considerable transport of money. . Frequent skirmishes take place between the Prus -slang and the Polish Confederates in Pomerania. We are assured that General NricTort - has been ex changed for the Prince of Orange. The former, we know, is charged with the expedition against Colberg and Dantzic. . BERLIN, Fta.
