paper is*of tbe31stafDecember,coiisequetitly the
intelligence which he brings has. been anticipated i
by arrivals at New York and Charleston. We no
tice and > extractjthe following articles from a paper
of the 31st December.
OPERATIONS IN SWEDISH POMERANIA. ^
Marshal Mortiei having pushed a strong corps a
cross the Pene, and occupied Stolpe, from whence
a small Swedish guard retired, the French af
wards advanced to Ludershagen; where baron
Armfeldt was posted with about three thou*
sand men. He resisted, and defeated several attacks
of the enemy, but deeming the post- not tenable a
gainst the accumulating force which was opposed
to him, he withdrew to Griefwald, and on the 10th
he had taken a strong position about six miles from
Stralsund.
The French had, on the 10th, appeared at Dam*
garten and Grimme. Mortier waited the arrival of
15,000 men, who had been ordered from Hanover,
&c. to reinforce his division, when it was suppos
. ed he would invest Stralsund. That fortress is pro
vided for a seven months siege. -
Several English vessels have arrived at Tonnin
gen, but had not unloaded in consequence of the
danger which would attend in the inland carriage of
their cargoes.
WAR BETWEEX RUSSIA AND THE PORTE.
By official accounts from Berlin of the 13th Dec.
we learn that Russia has declared war against the
Turks, and invested Bender and Cocheim; and that
the imperialists under the orders of gen. Michelson,
have penetrated into Wallachia. A column of Rus
sian troops was advancing to act in concert with
Czerney George and the Servian insurgents. The
Russians, who now occupy their own frontiers, are
very numerous there, and their garrisons are abund
antly supplied. General Kutusow commands at
Kiovia, and gen. Korsakovv at Welna.—Gen. Tol
stoy has formed a junction with the king of Prussia,
who has deemed it expedient to fall back from Oste
rode to Koenigsberg, and is followed by a consider
able force under gen. Buxhoevden.
Napoleon having refused to permit the remains
of the duke of Brunswick to be interred in the
tomb of his forefathers, the corpse has been depo
sited in the church of Ottensen, a village adjoining
Altoua. The collection of hunting and fowling
pieces, which cost the late duke near a million of
marks, was sold fora trifle by the first French de
tachment which entered Brunswick. Guns really
worth from five to ten pounds, sold for no more
than a couple of crowns.
The apartments in Hampton Court Palace, which
were occupied by the prince of Orange, have, we
understand, been prepared for the reception of the
dfitchess of Brunswick, as soon as the state of her
royal highness’s health will admit of her removal
to this country.
The surplus of the treasure of the elector of
Hesse CasseJ has, by the direction of a traiterous
spy, been discovered by the French, in a subter
raneous vault at Wilhelmsec. It is valued at
18,000,000 of dollars, exclusive of a gold and sil
ver table ahd tea service.
The British property belonging to Hamburgh
merchants, and purchased by them, will, it is said,
be respected. The amount of all the British pro
perty seized, is estimated at no more than 1,600,000
marks, about 1,500,0001. sterling.
From the National Intelligencer.
COMMIUCATION. I
General Eaton, on appearing before the commit*
tee 9f claims on the 10th inst. thus addressed the
chair: * !
Sir, |
On a review of the statement, accompanying
my petition of 20th Feb. 1804, now before this ho
nourable committee, I cannot find a paragraph
which needs correction or modification. That state
ment surveys the chief ground and origin of my
claims. Have the goodness, sit, to pass attentively
over it, and to carry forward, in the examination,
a view of the events which have since occurred1 to
establish the correctness of the measures there ad
verted to. It will satisfy you that a perseverance in
those measures has given peace to this country^. and
emancipation to three hundred of our fellow citizens;
and that, while it has done something to stamp a
good impression on the pirates of Barbary, it has
saved your treasury more than a million of dollars.
My reward, hitherto, is penury and wounds. I
ought not, perhaps to say this; it carries- some
thing which savours of reproach:' this I do not
mean. I have no where been refused indemnity.
On the contrary, three years ago, when as yet the
effects of my arrangements had not been realized,
your committee expressed an opinion that I had a
Kell founded claim upon the government. But the de
lay, in the decision necessary to a reimbursement
of my expenditures, has greatly distressed me in
my individual concerns—Expenditures of which my j
country now reaps the beuetit, and of which a vast
majnritry of nay countrymen appear to be very sen-!
sible.
1 do not present myself here to ask alms, nor to
expect gratuities—nor yet to draw on your sensibi
lity to awaken a consideration for all the sacrifices
to which I yielded in standing to the duties of my
Station at the court of a piratical despot, and in
the court of a savage enemy. Yoif cannot make
me such indemnity—You cannot, sir, under any
shape 1 can present the claim, award me a remu
neration foi the sacrifices of property incident to
the vexatious impositions and proscriptions which
the bey of Tunis practised on me in consequence of
my resistance to his unwarrantable exactions
against the United States. You cannot bring back
to me nine years of tictive life—You cannot restore
to me the streugth of an arm. Bat for. actual dis
bursement for the benefit of our common country,
whether voluntary or extorted, 1 have a right again
« to resort t<> your justice, .and to believe that this
justice will be no tanger delayed. . . *
It is only fit here, therefore, that I avow the per
jset confidence I feel, sir, in the disposition and in
the righteousness of' this committee to'give'my
claims a deliberateuod reasonable review* and an
equitable award. , \-.g* — 'j * .-j
With regard, however, to the last'item of my
charge, it should he remarked—this tau not origi
nally intended ta be brought against the Vnited States'.I
i had faith that the honour of the court of Sardinia
fbe hi'gji trust of a national negotiator; and, in
case offailure here, hud confidence in the exertions
of the sow of that nobleman to reimburse me the
cash 1 was compelled to pay, as his surety, forthe
redemption of the child of his affection and for the
honour of his family, I should undoubtedly have
realized these confidences, had not a dispensation
of the government of the United States (unac
quainted with the usages of that country) released
the surety I held at Tunis for the debt, and been
construed by the Chevalier Porcille as a generous
acquittal of the debtor. A reimbursement ought
to come from the court of Sardinia to our govern
ment.
Papers toilthing this transaction are submitted
with my other documents.
The heavy expenses ^incident to an appeal to this
chancery, for such a length of time as I have been
before you, and at so great a distance from my
home, together with the circumstance of these pri
vate funds lying so long useless to me, have neces
sarily laid me under pecuniary responsibility to my
friends. The suspense of another year must lodge
me in a prison/
If you find, sir, that I have been upright to my
country—let my country, by reciprocity, now ena
ble me to ransom myself. v , ;' ,p '
SUPREME COURT OF THE U. STATES.
'i he court on Friday delivered their opinion on
the motion for a writ of Habeas Corpus in the case
of Erick Bollman and. Samuel Swart wout.
Chief Justice Marshall delivered a long and ela
borate opinion, to establish the right of the su
preme court, in virtue of its appellate powers,' to
grant writs pf Habeas Corpus, and concluded bis
remarks by declaring that the court granted the
writ in the present instance. • 4 , J
Mr. Justice JohnSbtf dissented froth tbe arpthsFrh

From Gen. Kosciusko t6 the Pmet.
1 Brave countrymen 1—At the sound bf aftrts
\vhich once more resounds ih Poland, Kosciuskf
flies into the midst of you; it is no longer barbari
ans in search of plunder, which advance into out
plains; it is no longer those: ferocious men whe
come to divide our fields, and insult our'weakness,
after having fattened themselves on our mtsforfe^ies
and our blood. By their valour, by their triumphs,
by the thundering eagle which Sdars before the|a
you will know the unconquerable legions Which ba|j
illustrated the four quartets of the glob* by their
victories; who have, in one campaign, adnwilatef
the uiiited power of two vast empires ; ^d who
have, in one week, crumbled into, dust a throw
raised by an ^ge of successes, tha work qf Frede
rick and all his old generals. • •
1 bus cos the destiny of Napoleon decreed who
destroys and make kings, who falls with the rapi
dity of lightning on his enemies/ and who knows
-how, by the force of bis arm* and the rpncepiiptt
of his genins, to raise up nations, bowed down un
der the yoke of a frightful policy. s t
Polanders, thousands amongst you have followed
the first general of Europe, in the defiles of Italy.
Your battalions have rallied With the army of tiie
brave—Napoleon comes to you; his eye Observes
you; he brings into the bosom of Poland those
Frenchmen, amongst whom We havefound a second
Country, who have collected the Wrecks of us ui
their camps j who, treating us as brothers, have
Concealed our misfortunes under their laurels; these,
generous Frenchmen, in the midst of which Kosci
usko has ceased to believe himself proscribed, be
fore -Whom hp has at last been able to raise up with
a sentiment of coalition, and perlmpirof pride, his
vanquished bfit not dishonored bead, and amongst
which he has been permitted to entertain the love
of bis country and the hope of its future liberty.
Dear countrymen, all you .who banished from
your paternal soil,' have remained Polanders in a
foreign land, and you, on the contrary, who having
become strangers in the bosom of Poland have re*
mained faithtul to your brothers and the country,
rise up, it is time, the grand nation is before you}
Napoleon regards you and Koscjuzko calls you,
bee Europe shaken to her ancient foundations,
hastening at the voice of genius to re construct the
social edifice, and to immortalize the nineteenth
Century, by new creations and new titles to glory.
See how the yoke of the tyrant of the .seas, of the.
enemy of the repose of Europe is breaking to pieces
on every coast; every where the people raise up
sheltered by monarchies constituted by the laws ;
every where the oppressed nations march towards
their independence. Polanders what is wanting yet
to inspire you and render you to yourselves 1 With
out doubt you are the children of those heroes who
saved Europe 'from the yoke of the Afusselmen—
your hearts shall burn with the fire which filled
with esteem and fright even your enemies’ conquer?
ors—Because they have divided you, you should be
more united by blood, by language, by misfortune*
and by every thing which is most dear and must sa
cred amongst men. ^ • "
If Poland has been effaced from (he political
Chart, she exists still 'fenfire in the hearts of tei
ranct

iiy for oar support the justice of ear'eauM and oar
valour, we were able,to balance fortma between «»
aua three empires who unitedthemselvrs to op
press us ; what triumph shall appear doubtful,
when the conqueror of the tripple alliance baafieed
your frontiers, when the man of destiny hat cast his
views on you—do you not feel in-his presence youf
blood quicken in your veins ? Do you not see the
shades of so many heroes who have died fighting for
you, press around him and implore vengeancef
Hear their groans, hear the voice. of the. country
who demands from us its glory and independence*
Polanders, escaped by a miracle from the sword
of your assassins, from the chains of your tyrants,
I have collected you, I have brought with me ^be
last sighs ofa dying country, full of confidence: '
day I will make her last wishes resound am.
y°“—I g° to see that paternal land which my
has defended, which my blood has.-ndiMu^L^U
which I will coyer, on seeing it, With tedhkVkhd
kisses. Unfortunate friends, who I ■have tfob/hsto
able to follow to the tomb, deaf and brave 4h>rnjnpi>
OOS whom I hare heed constrained to leave- under
the yoke of our usurper, I have only liv«$ *%ith
the hope of avenging you—I return to break yoff
.fetters. *,' » .. jtf
Sacred remains of my Country, I salute you with
an holy enthusiasm.* 1 unite myself to y«e never
to be separated. Worthy of the grand mad, whose
arm is raised for us. Worthy? Polander? who heat
my voice, I will aid to raisp up my country and to
