LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.
FROM THE LOWER ELBE, NOV. 11.
The report of his excellency gen. Blucher, respecting the operations of the corps under his command.
"Under the greatest depression of spirits, I am compelled to inform your majesty of the gradual annihilation and capture of the corps I had the misfortune to command under circumstances in which no alternative remained.
"That a corps, separated from the heart of the kingdom, and from all the other troops and forresses, after it had expended its ammunition in four engagements, should be annihilated by a force six times its number, stands in no need of justification; but it will be a great consolation to me, should your majesty follow my report step by step, and scrutinize all the measures I had adopted.
"In taking a review of these measures, it may be necessary previously to observe that the operations of my corps, till the 28th, viz. when the army of prince Hohenlohe capitulated, were directed to the gaining of the Oder; and that afterwards the whole of my exertions and the movements of my troops, were calculated to draw the French from the Oder, and out of the heart of the Prussian monarchy. It was
also my object to supply the fortresses with provisions, and to gain time for the approach of the Prussian troops and the Russian armies.
"That I have not been altogether unsuccessful, the consequences will prove, since three of the principal of the French corps, under Murat, Bernadotte & Soult, surrounded me at the time when, deprived of all my ammunition, I capitulated with 9,400 men, at Ratkau, between Kiel and Lubeck
"On the 24th of October, the prince of Hohenlohe entrusted me with the command of the corps which had been under the duke Eugene of Wirtemberg. This corps was much reduced in consequence of losing a battle near Halle; and besides one half of a battery of twelve pounders, had a few six pounders, and only their riding artillery, and were without forage and bread. This artillery belonged for the most part to the corps that had been engaged in the battle of the 14th, and was much reduced in consequence of forced marches.
"With this corps I marched into the neighborhood of Rappen on the 26th.—Prince Hohenlohe was then in the vicinity of Lychen. My view of proceeding to Zehdenick the direct road to Prenzlow, was disappointed; the enemy had occupied that place and Gransee. I, therefore, marched on the 27th with the first division to Farstenberg, and sent the second to Lychen. Towards evening my rear was attacked near Menz; it repulsed the enemy. I afterwards drew my rear off to Furstenberg, and placed the troops composing it, near the first division.
"On the 28th, at day break, I joined the division of my corps at Lychen, and directed my march to the Gortzenburg. Prince Hohenlohe had passed through Schopernmark to Prenzlow. Such a detour was more than I dared to make, and I therefore resolved to drive the enemy out of Gortzenburg; as otherwise I must have given up all hopes of joining prince Hohenlohe. During this march the enemy attacked my rear not far from Lychen, but were repulsed by my regiment, which made about 30 prisoners, and cut down about 50 of the French.
"Upon my approach, the enemy left Gortzenburg; my patrols, however, fell in with them in all the adjacent villages, and during the night I was compelled to take possession of some of these villages, to prevent the men and horses from dying of hunger, and to drive the enemy out of them.
"Early on the 29th, just setting out upon the march to Prenzlow, I learned from some stragglers of prince Hohenlohe's corps, that the prince had capitulated there. My corps was 10,500 strong; the army of Murat was within 2 leagues ahead of me; on my flanks, and in my rear, was the corps of Bernadotte; each of them was double my force, which had neither bread nor forage, and was almost entirely exhausted by the forced marches it had been compelled to make. My resolution was soon taken; instead of marching directly for Prenzlow, I immediately took the left to Strelitz. I there hoped to join the corps of Weimar, and then to approach Magdeburg; or, according to circumstances to pass the Elbe, in order to furnish Magdeburg and Hameln with provisions to hold out longer against the enemy, and to operate in his rear.
In the mean while several officers and yagers whom I sent out were unable to procure me any information of the Weimar corps. I marched on the 30th by Strehlitz as far as Dunbeck, and there unexpectedly fell in with that corps. Here I learnt for the first time that Soult's corps had anticipated my arrival upon the Elbe. In the mean while my rear guard, before they arrived there were harassed by the enemy.
On the 31st I sent two officers to the Elbe to provide the vessels necessary for passing that river near Gortzenburg & Lauenburg. I continued my march to Wahren, and on the following day to Old Schwerin and Slave.
"After the arrival of Soult's corps my situation became more critical. I had joined the corps of Weimar; but these troops during the night it was necessary to distribute in several villages, to prevent them from dying of fatigue and hunger. In consequence of this distribution my corps ran the risk of being dispersed entirely by an attack from the enemy.
"On the first of November my rear guard was attacked by the enemy near Wahren. The enemy pushed as far as Schwerin, where my head quarters were fixed. The whole of my corps were in quarters, between Kuppentin & Serrahn; and as the enemy knew he could not penetrate by Old Schwerin, I looked upon
his last movement as a feint, and expected his real attack between the towns of Wahren, Kow and Schwerin.
"A large corps of my troops had arrived at their place of rendezvous previously appointed. The enemy proceeded towards the Elbe, and I set out some hours before day break to reach the vicinity of Preston and Kladrum. My corps was distributed over a space of five leagues. It was necessary to possess a number of villages to obtain provisions. Several soldiers dropped down, and expired from hunger.
"On the 3d, I marched into the neighborhood of Schwerin; here I hoped that both my wings would have been covered by the marshes of Lowens and the lake of Schwerin, and that I should be able to obtain some bread and brandy from that place for my people. On the following morning it was my intention to have marched to Lauenburg, to avoid the corps of Bernadotte and Soult.
"During this march, my rear-guard was engaged in a warm action, which terminated in the evening, near the village of Fahre. The detachment under colonel Osten, at Wittenberg, had left that place without orders. Of this I was informed. Had the enemy attacked me at this moment while I was between the villages of Fahre and plate, I should have been forced upon the lake of Schwerin. The enemy's attack upon Fahre seemed to be only a demonstration, in order to draw my attention to my left wing, while he surrounded my right.
"The bloody affair with the rear-guard at Fahre did not terminate till an hour after dark. The head quarters of both armies were not more than half a league distant; mine were at Osdorf. Marshal Bernadotte summoned me the second time to capitulate. I then forbade him, once for all to repeat this summons.
"In pursuance of my plan for drawing the enemy's force, in the first instance, as far as possible from the Oder, and to hazard an engagement only when I could advance no further, I marched immediately from Schwerin to Gadebusch and Rostock. During the night, the troops under general Salita, and also those of my right wing were annoyed by the enemy. It was still in my power to approach the Elbe, near Lauenburg, but I had no time for deliberation. Thus there only remained open to me the road to Hamburg or Lubeck; or I must have resolved to give battle the following day. My troops, horses and men, were so exhausted that I could expect no favorable issue from engaging with an enemy six or seven times my number. The grand duke of Berg was upon my left flank, marshal Bernadotte in my front, and marshal Soult on my right. In this critical situation I determined to march upon Lubeck, keeping the Trave in front. Had my troops obtained any refreshment, they might have engaged again; any moderate superiority, even though there had been but little probability of a favorable result.
"On the 5th of November our march was happily continued. The gates of Lubeck and the Trave, from Travemunde to that place, were all occupied, as far as the Danish frontier. The army, in this position, would have been in a condition, in the course of a few days, to have resisted the enemy's prodigious superiority, supposing that every one had done his duty; but this, alas I was not the case. The enemy, on the 6th at noon, forced their way through the Bug-gate of Lubeck, upon which ten pieces of cannon were planted, and which was also defended by three battalions. The enemy would not have succeeded in forcing the gate, if the cannon had not been partly withdrawn, contrary to orders, and, just at the decisive moment, ceased to do any further execution among the enemy's troops.
"As soon as I was apprised of this unexpected event, I attacked the enemy in the streets, with as many of the troops as I still could collect. The contest lasted a considerable time, and with much bloodshed. The city was at length filled with the enemy's forces, and it was now no longer possible to withstand their superiority or numbers. The regiments of Tschammer Owsien, the greater part of the regiments of Brunswick Oels, the Magdeburg brigade of fusileers, and a party of Iverouts' yagers and fusileers, were almost cut to pieces, or made prisoners.
"The remaining troops which still consisted of nine thousand, and between two and three hundred men, had not rallied during the night; and our principal want was ammunition—I had now to resolve upon risking a doubtful attack, and rushing upon a foe at least eight times my strength or upon violating the Danish territory. The latter I deemed imprudent, as it was

protected by a Danish corps, and the violation of its neutrality might be inconsistent with our political relations. The consequences of the former must have been that the whole corps would have been destroyed or taken a circumstance which would have been much more to be deplored than that of surrendering upon certain conditions. On the seventh of November therefore, at the moment when three French armies were upon the point of attacking me, I resolved to capitulate. A copy of the article of capitulation is subjoined.
The weakness of my corps proceeded partly from the loss which I suffered in the succession of petty engagements which I sustained and especially in the battle of Lubeck, and partly from the fatiguing marches, during which from the want of provisions, each battalion was compelled to leave behind them forty and fifty men daily. General Von Peltz also with four squadrons of Bayreuth dragoons and Gen. Von Uedern with ten squadrons of hussars, had separated some days before from the army; and it should be further observed that the troops belonging to the corps of the duchy of Wirttemberg had previously suffered very severely in Halle.
At the moment of capitulation the senior officer on that staff committed the mistake of taking in the general abstract he gave in the effective strength of the regiments as much greater than it really was, and also to include the troops which had previously been detached, or which had the day before been killed or made prisoners in Lubeck. The French generals, however, in mustering the troops which have capitulated, must have been convinced that their number did not exceed that which I have above stated.
The troops in general have manifested a degree of constancy, fidelity and bravery which has exceeded my expectation; and under different circumstances would have immortalized them. Though the regiments belonging to the corps lately under the command of the duke of Wirttemberg, had fought an unsuccessful battle at Halle, in which they suffered severely—though my whole corps during an incessant retreat of three weeks, performed forced marches of from five to seven German miles daily, and was destitute of all the necessaries of life, without suitable clothing and numbers of them without shoes; and what is more, having had no bread for the last three weeks, nor any pay for the preceding fortnight; nevertheless there was not a single regiment or even a detachment, but was continually ready to perform whatever they were desired to execute. Their alacrity, their unbroken constancy, and their readiness to make every sacrifice, were evinced to the very last moment, even after the loss of Lubeck.
I conclude this report with that heartfelt tranquility, which the consciousness of having done my duty inspires, and remain, &c. &c.
"VON BLUCHER."
BERLIN, Nov. 3.
The Prince of Hohenlohe to the king of Prussia.
"SIRE," I HAVE not had the good fortune to conduct the army entrusted to me over the Oder, and to screen them from the further pursuit of the enemy. After I had reached the neighborhood of Boitzenburg, by forced marches, on the 27th of October, and had the intention of passing those defiles, in order to reach Prentzlow on the same evening, I found them already in the enemy's possession. I forced them, but did not think it prudent to continue my march in a direct line, because the whole of my cavalry, being without forage for several days, was quite exhausted; and by break of day I had reason to expect the cavalry would be engaged, and that the issue would be unfavorable. I therefore immediately turned to the left, and in the course of the night reached the vicinity of Sconermark. I had already given orders for pushing strong patrols towards the enemy; about two in the morning these returned, and brought me no information of the enemy's being at hand. At length I pushed a patrol as far as Prentzlow, which brought intelligence that they had seen nothing of the enemy, and that the French patrols had not shown themselves at Prentzlow. I then continued my march for Prentzlow, where I hoped to find bread and forage, of which every one stood in need. I had no sooner reached the heights of Prentzlow than the enemy showed himself upon my
right flank. An engagement immediately ensued; the enemy's superior numbers & artillery compelled me to retreat through Prentzlow. The hope of finding bread & forage here was now extinguished by the enemy's advance. Several of his battalions showed themselves on my right, and being much superior in artillery and cavalry, he was upon the point of renewing the attack upon my front. Many of my battalions were without ammunition; the whole of my riding artillery was lost; and for the cannon that was left, according to the report of colonel Huser, there was not ammunition for more than five discharges. I was still seven miles distant from Stettin; and the very last hope of obtaining any thing upon the march had vanished. From my support which still remained near Lycheu, and from general Blucher's corps I was already cut off, without cavalry fit for action, without ammunition, and above all without provisions; and convinced that I should only risk the lives of the few that remained as an unavailing sacrifice in your majesty's service, I submitted to my hard fate, and entered into a capitulation with the enemy, the conditions of which your majesty will see in the supplement to this dispatch. I can safely lay my whole conduct during the campaign before your majesty and posterity, and await the result with an unshaken confidence. I believe can prove that I have been the unhappy sacrifice to the circumstance of not having had my earliest proposals acted upon. The misfortune alone, and not the shame, affects me. The superiority of the enemy's cavalry had, for some days past, nearly ruined the whole detachment under general Schimmelpfennick. It was upon the existence of this corps, which had destroyed all the bridges over the Rhinow, the Havel and the Fl now canal, that I rested the practicability of my retreat. In the supplements, your majesty will perceive the extent of the losses sustained by the above mentioned detachments; I have conducted an army without bread, forage or ammunition, while the enemy moved in the same direction. The impossibility of obtaining my object is neither imputable to my want of zeal, good will, or to the inadequacy of my orders. The greatness of my misfortunes may be regretted, but I cannot be deprived of the truncheon of honor.
"I am preparing to lay at the feet of your majesty a circumstantial detail of all the events which have occurred since the 14th inst.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. On Monday the supreme court of the United States commenced its sittings in this city.
APPOINTMENTS.—James Anderson, agent for seamen and commerce at Havana, and also agent for the navy department in the island of Cuba.
Letters have been received from New Orleans as late as the 2d of January. These state the arrest of Lieut. Small, on a charge of being engaged in Burr's conspiracy, and that six boats had passed Natchez, after an examination.
Letters are received in this city from Nashville, as late as January 15th. They contain nothing material relative to Burr's conspiracy except the universal execration in which the conspiracy and its author are held in the state of Tennessee. The same sentiment exists, and we feel the pride of an American in being able to say so, throughout the whole extent of the western country.
There is not, we believe, the least foundation for the paragraph, taken from British prints, intimating a rupture of the negotiations between the United States and Great Britain.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6.
On Friday, in the house of representatives of this state, Leib brought forward his resolution for a committee to enquire into the official conduct of governor McKean, with the view of an impeachment. Several constitutional members were absent—in consequence of which the resolution obtained by a majority of one. [Phila. paper.]

The governor of Jamaica has issued two proclamations, both bearing date the 27th day of November, 1806. The first rescinding after the 27th day of May next, the permission granted by his proclamation of the 20th day of August last, to import into that island and the exportation therefrom of certain articles specified under certain conditions expressed, in neutral vessels, &c. The other permitting, until the 17th day of September next, subject to be sooner terminated, varied or altered, as is thereafter provided, in any ships or vessels belonging to the subjects of any state in amity with his majesty, the importation into that island of staves and lumber, and also of horses, mules, asses, neat cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, and every other species of live stock and live provisions, and also of every kind of provisions (beef, pork and butter, always excepted) which are of the growth or produce of the country to which such ship or vessel importing the same shall belong.
And also the exportation from that island of rum and molasses, and of any other articles, goods and commodities whatsoever, except sugar, indigo, cotton, wool, coffee, and cocoa, upon the like terms, charges and conditions, and subject to the same rules, regulations, visitations and searches, as are observed with respect to British vessels in the like cases: provided always, that such ships or vessels shall duly enter into, report, deliver their respective cargoes and reload at such ports only where regular custom houses shall have been established: and provided also, that notwithstanding any thing hereinbefore contained, the said permission and authority to import and export, shall cease and determine, or be varied and altered before the expiration of the period hereby limited, at the expiration of six months after notification in the London Gazette, of any order of his majesty, by and with the advice of his privy council, for revoking, varying, or altering, such permission or authority, or shall cease and determine at the expiration of six months after the ratification of a definitive treaty of peace. [Ibid.]
Late from New-Orleans.
"Captain Bowen, of the brig Sukev & Betsy, arrived at New York from New Orleans, informs, that for some days previous to his sailing, the alarm had in a great measure subsided, and that the embargo was raised on the 31st of December; but that, on the morning of the 2d January, an express arrived from Cumberland, and a second express reached New Orleans in 3 days from Natchez, with information that general Adair, with an advanced guard of two thousand men, was within three days march of Natchez, and that Burr was following with 6000 men. This occasioned a new alarm at New Orleans—another embargo was expected—and all the inhabitants were exerting themselves in removing their property.
"A boat with 30,000 dollars pursued the Susan and Betsy down the river, but was too late. If this news is correct, there can be little doubt of Burr's success against New Orleans, if he should be wicked enough to plunder that place, on his way to Mexico, as there were only about 600 regular troops under gen. Wilkinson, and a few volunteers; with 4 gun-boats, 2 ketches, and one schooner."
Almost all the kingdoms of Europe are corrupted. There is not one of them—not one—which can support the contest. It is lamentable to say it, but, from some cause or other, there is scarcely a sovereign in Europe who is beloved or respected by his subjects. With the exception of England, there is not an army or a people on the continent who will worthily defend their country from the invader. In this state of things, what can save them? Prussia is gone—Russia will perhaps follow. Let England look to herself and not dissipate her strength in expeditions to Buenos Ayres and South America.—England may yet save herself, but we are grieved to say, she cannot now save Europe.

THE AGREEABLE INTERRUPTION.
Unconscious of an Angel near, I gazed on Burns's page, O'er his misfortunes drop't a tear, And thought of maxims sage.
Maxims which had they been his guide, Throughout life's various ways, The first of poets, Scotia's pride, In peace had clos'd his days.
As thus I read and moralize, My much-lov'd Fair draws nigh, Her graceful form, her heavenly face, Now strikes my raptur'd eye.
Quick I forget the poet's grief, Who from Eliza torn, Sung, while of death he sought relief, That "Man was made to mourn."
I gaze upon her lovely form, Where all the graces shine, I feel within me love's alarm, And swear the nymph's divine.
Who could encounter charms like these; And call his heart his own? Or who preserve his mind at ease Should such an Angel frown?

Stop Thief!
RAN AWAY, from the subscriber, on Sunday evening last, an apprentice boy, about 15 years of age, by the name of James West—has light curly hair, full cheeks, and his toe next to the smallest one on the right foot has been split with an axe, which causes it to stick up remarkably. Had on when he went away a blue roundabout Bath coating jacket with pearl buttons, a red cloth vest, black buckskin pantalettes, blue stockings and buckskin mockasins—he has stole several pair of buckskin gloves, mockasins, and gallowes.
I will give Five Dollars to any person who will secure him in any jail, and reasonable expenses if brought home. He is an apprentice to the glove and buckskin breeches making business. I forwarn all masters of vessels and others from harboring him, as I shall prosecute them as the law directs. It is supposed he has gone to Baltimore to take shipping, or with a waggon up the Leesburg road.

VALUABLE LANDS,
To be Sold very Cheap.
I WISH to sell my Mill Tract of Land, situate on Back-Lick and Indian-Runs, about six miles from the town of Alexandria; containing about eleven hundred acres. On this tract are two plantations besides the mill farm—on the latter there is a very good mill, in which are one pair of burr, and one pair of culina stones, with elevators, &c. complete for merchant work—a distillery convenient to the mill, with four stills and every necessary utensil in complete order—a dwelling-house, kitchen, barn, with stables under it to accommodate 20 stalls, with every other out house requisite on a farm—a very good garden, an orchard of about 2500 trees of the choicest fruits this country can afford. There is about 300 or 400 acres of the tract cleared, the remainder in woods and a great part of it heavily timbered; about 30 or 40 acres of meadow, and nearly 500 acres more may be made on the bottoms adjoining the two runs. ALSO,
One other tract of one hundred acres, about two miles from Alexandria, part of the Cliesh Tract, and adjoining the lands of Messieurs John C. Herbert, Robert Patton, and John Ricketer, the Mount-Vernon road running through it. This tract is mostly in woods, and conveniently situated for country seats. If these lands should be sold at private sale, (which I would prefer) I will take in payment, if more convenient to the purchasers, stock of any of the banks from Richmond to New-York, or any kind of stock of the United States.
If they are not sold before Friday the first day of May next, the Mill Tract will, on that day, be sold at public auction, to the highest bidder—and on the following day the Cliesh Lands will be sold in like manner. The Mill Tract will be divided into three or four farms and sold subject to a lease of four and an half years from the first day of July last. The Cliesh Tract will be divided into lots of 10 or 20 acres each. If sold at public auction the terms will be made known on the days of sale.
