(new style) of this year, trintsmitted to his Imperial Majesty the follow ing report from his head-quarters, at the village In all accounts received from the army, state -1,10,Af,:; ha.ve been giVen of , the ,extraordinary great lose; sie,tained by the French ariny witltiiiY the borders of Russia, in the course of the present campaign. tiuch publications may at times ap pear to be exaggerated, or inserted through par but it confirmation of thein, the original report on the condition of even the French regi ment of the guards, which has lately fallen into the hap& of the General of Cavalry Count 'Wen%Ex- . stet..l, since the expulsion of the French Over our borders, is laid before your imperial Majesty, Irmo which it clearly appears, that the con fe:.4on'of the 'enemy himself, shows his own, I Qin still more dreadful light, and serves , us' a substantial proof of the destruction of his army, 03 likeavii;e of every thin'else that has before been made public. The ComayLn d :!r-in-Chief of the Armies, Prince KuTou.ofF, of Smolensk, has reported as follows to hi ci Imperial Majesty, from his Head-quarters, Orany, De eembar 28, ~.Tart• 9). Koningsberg, the ancient capital of Prussia,, is, subjectlo your Imperial Majesty; This vast'city was oermyied on the 25th December (6th January) by the Count WITTGEZ4 STEI N's .. adVanced guard, under the orders of Major-General SCItEPgLEFF. • Marshal MACDONALD occupied the town with a r , corps d'arntee,,, composed of the old French" Guards, and some troops who had escaped the generld destruction of- the enemy's Grand Army. The wreck of his particular corps, constituting part of his total, was reduced to 2500 Men, after the Prussians Separated from them; there remain ed to him in .all but obout 7000 men. At the ap proach of the advanced guard which. briskly pur sued, the enemy without halting, passed by Konigs berg and abandoned it to Major-Gen. StIRVELEFF, who entered it without meeting any roistance.— The astonishing facility in giving up the 'poses- Sian of this , City is a con3equenee of the victo ries with which the arms of your Imperial Majesty Yy !lave been crowned during the last two months. MAcoortat,p's corps is -pursued by WII`TGEN STEIN'S and Admiral TSCIIITCHAGOFF'S armies, by diagonal routes. OEFICIAL ccou,..r3 FROM THE ARSIY. The Commander in Chief of the Armies, Field- Marshal General Prince G, •Kirrusow, of Smo- Nerisko, has transmitted to his Imperial Majesty the following Report froni Head-quarters, at the village of Meretsch, date'l 29th December (10th Jan.) " L have the happiness of most submissively informing. your Imperial ANcsty, that, previously to our taking possession of the city of Konigs berg, the van-guar': of General Count WirroE sr. STEIN, under the corntrhind- of Major-general SCHEPELEW, whilst continuing to pursue the ene my from Tilsit, came up with him on the 23d inst. (4th Jan.) near Lobraw. " The enemy had here taken a very advanta tageouaposition, and the engagemott, in which he lost three cannon, and 300 men of the lower ranks, continued half a day. After that the ene, my was completely beaten, he commenced his re. ttcat to Konigsberg, Major -General ScHErELEw seized on this opportunity, drove the enemy air: Cermun miles before him, and forced himself on their shoulders into Konigsberg, which was taken possession of by our, troops at two o'clock, after midnight, an the 25th .1) ec. (6th Jan) :-1300 man were made prisoners in the city itself, "'rhe enemy retreated with such haste, that Ile threw 30 pieces of artillery with the cartridge bOxes into the Over, and lett behind him. 8 ,00 0 men, who were wearied out, and who were made prisoners by our troops.' Very considerable quan tities if provisions and foroge have fallen into our hands at Konigsberg, The gum which were thrown into the water are of the number of those which were in CourLand, and are now drawn out again by the inhabitants. " This success, although of so much conse (titmice, has nevertheless not. detained Alajor-Ge octal SCOXITUIT in thc , further pursuit of the enemy. " General Count VIT` C;ENSTEIN attributei it to the wise ITieRSUreS of General yeitErELEvp, his dis, patch and "determined bravery." Pads Papers to the 9.oth instant reached town la:4 night.

As we have too often lied occasi'm to ob j ect to • the political conduct of Sir FRANCIS 111.11;rnrr, we readily avail out elves of the opportunity af forded last night of bearing testimony to the tem-. rr, moderation, and' candour 'with which he brought forward and supported his motion in th e House of Commons, for leave to bring in a Bill - I to provide against any interrup tion in the exercise of the Royal Autho rity, in case of the death of his Royal High ness t h e P RIN e R RRGRNT during the continuance of his i‘lajesty's indisposition. We need not enter into any observations on the subject of this motion, as it was ably discussed, and die arguments of the Honourable Baronet were forcibly contbated. Perhaps this change in the temper of the Baronet may be ascribed to the loss of his old political tutor; for we can assert, upon indisplitable atithdrity„ that Mr. Fox had often said, that he knew when the Baronet had been at Wimbledon, as be always returned as if Ire had been "heated in a political furnace, and it was generally a folt fortnight before he could be cooled to the temper of the British Consti tution."
