Thtse oetails, which are given at length, .with the signatures of all the deputies, in the Monitear and other papers, are too long and too revolting to be given entire.— They present a series of pictures, Which may serve as companions to those of the atrocities of the French themselves in those unhappy .countries, which have witnessed the retreat of their discom fited armies. The desolated environs of Leipsie and 'Jam burgh, if we arc to believe these accounts, find their counterpart on .the banks of the -Seine and the Marne ; end the scenes of Woerdcn have been renewed and revenged on French ground. The following passage, which is nearly repeated - in all the'accounts. chews at least the impression which it is wished to give the citizens of Paris concern ing the views of the Allies : " To annihilate us S.:SS their principal and infamous desire; we are resolved, said they, to exterminate you, and to take from you, for 30 years to rotor, the means of fighting and de fending yourselves. We have not heguu to plunder till we got to Cliaurciat, because we mean to fix you: frontier there; hit if, contrary to all expectation, our immense army should experience reverses, the thunder will nut be more terrible than our veng,.ance. I n th e i n t o : t ic•ii ;on of t'vir ephemeral soccesses, the Rus sians pahlicly announced their near entrance into Paris; and their design to carry off all the-precious monuments, the jin x:tonal tri:phies of our victcries: to give up Paris to pillage, to carry off the women to people their horrible deserts, to blow up the nuilitsries, and, in short, to turn the Seat, of the line arts into a heap of raius." In another part the Prince of Wurtemberg and the young Prince of Prussia are accused of ap propriating to their own use wkatcver articles pleased theta.

FIFTH BULLETIN of the ARMY before ILINIBURGT Headquarters at Pinneberg, Feb. 12. " As the General in Chief of the Polish Army, Count Von Benningsen, bad taken his measures for making an attack on \Vilhclmsburg, on the 9th February, he issued the following Directions for that day . Gen. Ahrenschild, who, in the absence of Count Walmoden, commands the corps d'armee before Haarburgh, received 'directions to amuse the garrison by a strong demonstration, and there by support the attack on Wilbelmsburg, which it was appointed to take place at four in the morn ing. The rest of the troops, under,his Excellency Count Benningsen, were ordered to march to the .appointed place, in the direction of Willielms burg, by four o'clock in the morning. Of the two columns under the orders of Gen. Doetoroff, the first was commanded by Lieut. General Emme, and the second by Count Toistoy ; Gen. Markoff had the command of the third. " The first column, tinder Gen. Doetoroff, and the third, had orders to attack and drive back all the enemy's posts which they might find o❑ their road, which he executed with precision, as the first column broke through the great road from Hamburgh to Haarburgh, nn the one side, whilst the third, under General Markoff, did the same from the other side; but the arrival of the column under Tolstoy was detained by an unex pected inundation, and other obstacles. " The General-in-Chief having accomplished his purpose, ordered the troops to fall back to their former position. '• The enemy lost about 1000 men in killed and wounded by this incursion, among whom are the two Generals Von Asten and Rome, and about 900 or 1000 men, among ivhom are 16 Officers, were made prisoners. By this progress of the brave Russians, the enemy likewise lost 12 pieces of artillery, 60 casks of gunpowder, above 30,000 cartridges, 60 hogsheads of wine, and a great quantity of provisions." SIXTH BULLETIN. " liead-quarters of his Excellency the General in Chief of the Army of Poland, Pinneberg near Hamburgh. " The 17th February deserves to be accounted among the fortunate days of this glorious war, in which the Russians on the Elbe strove not to be behind hand with their companions in arms on the Seine. " The General in Chief, Count Benningsen, on this day gave orders for a similar expedition to that of the 9tll of February against Willieluis burg to be undertaken, by causing the fortrerieS of Hamburg and Ilaarburg to be threatened by the Generals Tschaplitz, Chepelef, and Ahreed z,eheld, by making false attacks. 'The (general rstf Infantry, Von Doetroff, pushed forward with two ,columns under the command of th e G enera l s Count Tolstoy and Von blunt!, towards Wilhehus burgh, by the way of the Bill and Ochsenwerder, for the purpose of joining the column of General Von Markoff, on the road of communication be tween Hamburgh and l-laarburgh which column was taking the same direction from .the side of Altona, by the way of the Itheierstieg. " Marshal Davoust knowing us to be the real masters of Wilhelmsiburgh, and nevertheless obliged to defend this fortified island, to preset ve his communication with Haarburgh, although unable to remain there, gave, we arc sorry to say, as being too early apprised of our attack, on the approach of our columns, several signals, by burning a house on Wilhelmsburgh, and tiring of rockets, on which the enemy's posts on Wilhelrusburgh and adjacent islands endeavoured immediately to form a junction, and by fighting their way, to receive assistance from the for- tresses. Our columns would not permit this junction to take place, but pushed directly forward towards the high road, where they then formed enfronte against Hambrough and Haarburg, and drove the separated enemy behind the walls of that city ; Gen. Arentcheld supported this ope ration by a demonstration which be made at the same time against Ilaarburg, to the satisfaction of the General in Chief, and thereby rendered it eisier for the troops pushing forward against Haarburg from SVilhelmsburg to effect the burn ing of the bridge of communication near fiaar burg,. which was of the greatest consequence : Haarburgh si . as thereby become totally sepa rated from llambnrgh, had it been consistent with the plans of the General in Chief to keep pos session of Wishenburg.. As the intent of this ex pedition had by this means been so unexpectedly soon fulfilled even before noon, and the Prince of Eckmuhl with his army, which has already de-• creased to about 20,000 men, was shelter ing him self in dread, behind his walls ; the General in Chief ; Count Benningsen, gave orders for quitting again Wilhernsburg in the same manner as before, and for bringing the troops back to their fanner cantonments. " As trophies of this day they brought with them seven Officers and 393 privates as prisoners, and the soldiers drank to vietory.in the wine they had taken from the enemy. " The enemy, who fled too soon, lost on this day about 500 men killed and wounded, among whom there arc said to be several Officers of high rank. Our loss could not be otherwise than trifling, as our brave soldiers would not give the enemy time to face about again. It nevertheless consists in 87 privates, and seven officers, a pro portion which is greatly to the honour of our Officers." BRUSSELS, FEB. 14.—The Prussian and Saxon troops which bad been here for some days, are broke up for Mons. FEB.

A great quantity of besieging artillery is arrived before Antwerp from the frontiers of Holland. ROTTERDAM, FEB. 22.—According to letters received from Brussels of the' 18th February, 6 or 7000 Saxon troops had, on the morning, passed through that city towards Enghlen and Ath, whi ther the bead -quarters of the Duke of Saxe Wei mar, are likewise gone.
