This corps has suffered.very little, One lulf of the soldiers have nor had an 9ccasion to fire shot, but they all had the same intrepidity. The appearance pf t 1 4 .1 corps was magni4cent.

The Duke of Wehrtar passed the Elbe at Havel.. berg. „Marshal SOULT proceeded on the 2gth to Rathnau, and on the 30th to Wertenhansen. • . On the 2cdth the column ofthe Duke ofWeimar was at Rhinsberg, and the Prince' of Ponte Corvo (iiIi.IDOTTE) was at the same time ht Furstenberg. There is no doubt that this corps, consisting of 14,000 men have already fallen into the -hands of the French Army, or are at this moment in thee& of surrendering. General BeucnF,:u also left Rhinsberg in the morning of the 29th, with 7000 men, in or der to prOceed to Stettin ; but Marshal LetiniES and the Grand Duke of BERR had, three days march in advance of him. This column is therefore now in our powPr, or will be captured.. within 48 hours. In the last Bulletin we mentioned that the Grand Duke of-BERG, in, the affair of Prentzlow, obliged the Prince of Houcteeorte, and his 17,000 men, to ley down their arms. On the 291 h, an Enemy 4 corps of 0000 men likewise capitulated to General •MiLh4up, t at asseWalk. This gives u5"2.000 horses more, with their saddles; harnesses, and baggers -- There are besides more than 6000 horses, which the •Einperor has still at Spandau, after having mounted all his cavalry. Marshal Solna. having arrived at Redman, fell in with five squadrons of Saxon cavalry -they solicited a capitulation ; which was granted. This produced a further supply of 500 horses for the Army. We have taken, up to this period, 150 stand .of colours e among which are some embroidered by the hands of the beautiful Queen herself-7 , a - beauty which has proved as disastrous to the Peopleof‘Prus sia, as that of HELEw did to the Trojans: The States of the Duke of BIWNYWICK are taken possession of, and it is believed that the Duke has fled to England. All his troops ire disarmed. If he deserves the hatred of the French people, be has no less merited that of the - Prussian nation and army.--of the nation, which accuses him of being one- of the promoters-of the war—of the army, which complains of hismaucenvres, and 41 his military preceedings. The reliance' so imroperly platted on the young gens d'armes is pardonable ; but the condua of this Prince, in the 72d year.ofhis age, exhibits ati' ex : ample of folly, the necessary consepenees of which to himself can awaken no regret. What; indeed, is therein pge to command respect, when the'osten tatiop and inconsiderateness of youth are joined to all the frailties of declining years ? The capiti,lation of the 6000 men mentioned hove to have taken place on the 29th was concluded be- tlt'en Brigadier 1-I.toet.,cominanding the regiment of Treuenfels, and the column detached by Prince Ho- HENLOBE, and Lieut.-Col. GuieLAuje, of the 13th regiment of horse chassenrs,who signed it in the name of General MlLHnun. 'lt was stipuhaed that the whole corps should lay - down their arms in the pro sencp of the 13th regiment of chasseurs and the gth dragoons; and surrender themselves Prisoners of War. The Officers, hoWeVer, were allowed to re- taro their horses and baggage, and to depart on their parele. THE TWENTY.F(PURTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY. Stettin is in our possession : while the left wing of the Grand Duke of BERG'S Corps, commanded by General MILHAUD, forced a Prussian . column of 6000 men to capitulate at Passewalk, the right wing commanded by General LASALLE, summoned the, town of Stettin to surrender, whiA it. did on capi tulation, the terms of which are subjoined. Stettin is a town in 4 good . 4tate sadelence,, well armed, and provided with pallisadoes. We found in it 160 pieces of cannon, - 2nd considerable-mktaziues,- with . • a garrison consisting of 6000 fine troops, and a num ber 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 destruction of the great Prus sian Army has produced on the Oder, and over all the territory' ,on the Right Bank of that River. Of the whole of that great Army, 180,000 strong, not a man ,has crossed the Oder. They were all either taken or killed, except those whOstill wander between the Elbe and the Oder, but who will within four days be made Prisoners of War. It is unneces sary to dwell on the importance of the redi&ion of Stettin, which is one of the first c.Ornmercial towns of Prussia, and which securos'to the Army - nn excel- lent line of operations. As soon as the columns cominanded by the Duke of WElmmt - and General ELUditlt, which are Out off on the right and left, and pursued on the rear,. shall surrender, the Army will take a few days rest. - -Nothing has yet been lenra.ci Tespeeci.ng the Aussians.
