" FREDERICK WILLIAM. " Lciprig, Oct. 20, 1813. " To the General of Cavalry Von Blucher." Fa A NKFORT, Nov. 20.—The terror of the French during their retreat. from Hanau to Frankfurt and Mentz, may be inferred from the following circumstance :—On the night of the 2d Novem ber the Generals Morand, Bertrand and Lorge, belonging. to Mortier's ,corps, together with fifty otficees of different ranks, lay at the 'Eagle, at Bernheirn, a village about two miles from Frank furt, and abort 1900 men bivouacked wherever the could find room. The Generals behaved well : the honk! was not pillaged ; but the rest of the village, which swarmed with French, suffered the more severely. The Generals frequently de-. dared without reserve to the landlord, that they had only brigands and not soldiers under their coot wand ; and did all that lay in their power to pre vent them from plundering. After they • had supped, - - they lay do.vn, all together, upon straw. In' an hour, about eight o'clock ln the evening, the gluts which had been' drawn through the city and posted on eminences, began to play most tremendously. The officers with their embroidered uniforms and orders, sprung' from their uneasy couch, and posted away to the village. Six or eight cannon-shot were fired after their departure. In about half an hour they re, turned, and Morand sitl to the host : intagiacz vow mew brigands dorment, pendant que les Cosaques montew lei colline, et leur prennent wit canon.— " (July think, my brigands a ere asleep, and let the Cossacks conic up the hill and take one of their cannon. I have ordered infantry to adv.ince from the next vilhge, continued he. We must be off as early as possible in the morning. The ene my's tire is not above a p.stul shot from us." Ac cordingly, between four and five the next morn ing, they were gone. The Cossacks arrived in the village about seven, and picked up between twenty and thirty men. BURG, DEC. 7.—Ott the 30th November, tha French made a sortie front ,Magdeburgh to the vil lage -of Barleben, situated on the left balk of the Elbe. They not oniy completely plundered that place, hut treated the wretched inhabitants with unparalleled cruelty. With the most inhuinan brutality they murdered nine unarmed and peace ably disposed peasants, and wounded.ll men nttd • women, most of them mortally, or very dange rously. Christopher Cirun;ller, a tanner from Wohnerstadt, who was going to Barleben, was stabbed and.wonnded in 17 places ; and they hung Lieprecht, another inhabitant of the same place, because he was unable to pay 50 dollarS, which they demanded. Even women and little children were objects of their fury ; and Nv ha t they could not carry away they destroyed in the most wanton Who would not revolt at such barha rims excesses ? who would not be inflamed with just indignation against wretches who trample . under foot all the laws of honour, justice, •and virtue ? , But would it be credited that a man of German birth,, and bearing a German 'name, shlnild lend himself to such atrocities ? Ma jor Kossmann, who commands part of the few cavalry in Magdeburg, has been for three months a despicable tool, in the commission, of all sorts of devastations, and wherever he - has yet come he has cat tied with him the execrations of the inhabitants. Would it not be an act' of jus tice, on the capitulation of fortresses, to make a point of punishing such renegadoes ?—The brave solder is formidable to the soldier only, but pro tects the peaceful citizen. A . nation which mas sacres the defenceless, maltreats women and eh& .to I practises enormities upon the innocent, disgraces itself in the eyes of the world, and arms every well-meaning individual against it. mannci .

French Papers, one day litter than those from which we have made' such copious extracts yes terday and to-day, were received on the coast yesterday morning, and forwarded by express to London. We do not learn that they contain any intelligence of importance. In fact, so little of truth flows from this corrupt source, that we look for no authentic information from it, and attach importance to the,e papers only in so far as their date.; inform us of the prolonged exercise of Sovereign power by the Usurper. The Duke of CLARENCE , us will be seen from our Naval Kews,_ sailed yesterday morning for Holland. On getting under weigh, his Royal Highness was saluted by the Russian, men of war at anchor in the Downs. A very fine body of the Guards, nearly 600 stiong, were, at the same time, embarked by :t)ie Defal boatmen on board his Majesty's ship Dic!utor, for Holland; they were to Sail this morning. In spite of the severity of the weather, which has retarkle , l tlle arrival of letters from every dis- taut part of tiro empire, we have this morning re ceived two Datch and two Dremen %lulls, the prnv!ipal contents of which precede this notice.— The cruelty of DAVouST, in banishing from their sacred homes, and (driving forth to perish, through faniine , or the tigohrs of the season, thirty thou sand of the poor and helpless inhabitants of Ham burgh, has afforded the Prince of SwanEN a Elle opportunity of acquiring popularity and the esteem of mankind ; by administering largely to the wants of these.wretehed creatures, and by relieving them from the miseries' into which the barba tity of the ruffian had plunged them. This anxious and prompt benevolence forms a noble contrast with the inhuman conduct of DAvousT, and must raise against the lattei- thousands of mo re bitter enemies than even the mil-Hilts led by adveriary. At Heligoland tibe impulse has been felt, and MI. HAMILTON, the Governor, done himself and- his country honour in stepping for ward liberally to second the good intentions of the CROWN PRINCE. - But, Nve ask, will such proceedings as those re sorted to by the Enemy be tolerated ? Will the rules of war, or the law of nations, authorize such gross violations of the laws of ,justice and nature ? or. rather, will not these infathous and cruel acts of oppression be visited on the heads of their perpetrators, and the Scoundrels DAvOust and HOGGENDORP and all their associates, be held responsible for the lives of these misera ble people, and of those, scarcely less to be de plored. ‘'vborh they have retained within the walls ? At Pamplona, the starving population we:e re turned to the Governor, and he was assured, that for their safety he should be made accountable when the day of surrender and of reckoning ar rived.- The CiIOWN Paixcc has followed another course,.politically wise, which will add gieatly to the mural force of the Allies in the North, and, we trust, he will'in the end administer their re ward to the ferocious Spoilers of free and inde p‘ cndant Hamburg!). The Rae - A - ger Berg (or hill), cvhich lies be tween that city and Alton'', has been consigned to the flames, in order to strengthen the defences to the place. Hambiugh is certainly, most assail able on this side, and if attempted by storm, might be botitharded froth the river (of which either our naval superiority or the frost must give us the command), and thus, although - very strongly fortified, we are of opinion be conquered for the Allies, and its oppressors brought to condign punishment. The accounts from Brenien state the formation and march towards the Rhine of vast masses of force to strengthen the Allied Armies. Corps, alivost strong enough of themselves to war against France, are being brought up to form the reserve of the invaders. Of•these the chief are under Ge nerals LANGERON SACON; aml' Bi ABRAzow , to which we may add the ti nops Iron; Dresden, and a new army of 50 0r60,000, organized in Prussia. Malin is stat , Nl to have capiqated—the gar- rison t4nconditionally prisoners of `War. At Bre men the Caui,vN pniuca was expected with his corps d'arm6e on the route to holland; and the Hanseatic Legion were under orders to break up for the same destination. We do not think the affairs of Denmark are yet sufficiently arr:lnged to admit of the march of his Royal Highness ; but it is probable, that he will lose no time in proceeding to a Theatre where his presence will be so important, a' nd - where so glorions.an oppor tunity is presented for, him to signalize himself still snore, and acquire for ever the regards of the People and Sovereigns of Europe. - We rejoice to observe that Count BELLEOARDS took the imi,nmand of the Allied Army in Italy on the 15th at 'Vicenza. The noble coadjutor of 51.1.• WARROW will speedily do something to prove him self worthy of this most important trost. Sore actions favourable to the Austrians had previously taken place. We this day continue our extracts from the French Papers, and had prepared some observa tions upon them, which the receipt of the Foicign Mails compel . us to postpone. The fabt : ication to which the date of " Cleves, Dec. 31," is put, shews.to what pitiful fallacies the enemy resorts to deceive the people of Franc.e.

We have received Barbadoes Papers to the Ist of December;. but excepting the unusual occur rence of a Spanish vessel having been captured off Antigua by solne pirates in au open boat, they present no news. On the II th of - November the schooner Nereis lett St. John's for the Main, and and-on the following morning a Spaniard was picked up on the beach dreadfillly wounded: He stated that , an open' boat, with two white men and two black men, had hailed the vessel, and asked for water, Being desired to come on board, One of the whites jumped on deck, and instantly stabbed him, and he tell over. Another Spaniard reached St. John's, who had jumped overboard on seeing the Captain stabbed ; and the body of the Captain was afterwards washed on shore:— These villains escaped with their pr;ze, though the deed was done almost in port.
