VERY IMPORTANT FOREIGN NEWS.
BATTLE OF PULTUSK.
Russian official account.
Gen. Benningsen to the King of Prussia. I have the happiness most respectfully to acquaint your majesty, that I have succeeded in repulsing the enemy, who yesterday morning attacked me on every point near Pultusk. The main attack was made by gen. Souchet at the head of 15,000 men, on my left wing, near Krasnarska, in the view of getting possession of that town; I had only 5000 men under gen. Baggonaut, to oppose the enemy on that side; they made a brave defence, until I sent a reinforcement of three battalions of reserve, and afterwards three more under gen. Tolstoy, by which means the right wing of the French was totally defeated. The second attack, equally brisk, was made on my right flank where general Berkeley de Tolly was posted, with the van guard. The wing extended on the road towards Stogocyn to a small wood where I placed a covered battery, which the enemy attempted to turn. I therefore made a movement backwards on their right, which succeeded so well, that I not only frustrated the attempt of the enemy, but was also so fortunate as to reinforce gen. Berkeley de Tolly, with three battalions, ten squadrons; and one battery to repulse the enemy; on which the enemy retreated from the wood.
The attack commenced at eleven in the morning, and lasted until dark. From the relation of all the prisoners, I was opposed by Messrs. Murat, Davoust and Lannes, with an army exceeding 30,000 men. They have lost about 5000, according to their own account.
All my troops fought with the greatest bravery. The following generals particularly distinguished themselves; Osersman, Tolstoy, Berkeley de Tolly, Prince Dulgorucky, Baggonaut, Somoff, and Sitoff, of the infantry, also colonels Davidoffsky, and Gondoff, &c. &c.
Field-marshal, Kamenskoy departed from Pultusk for Ostrolenka on the morning of the 26th Dec. previous to the attack, and again gave the whole command to me, so that I had the good fortune to command alone on this affair, and to beat the enemy.
I have to lament that the long expected succor of general Buxhoven had just arrived, although he was but two German miles distant and even halted half way. I should otherwise have been able to follow up my victory. I have further to lament that the total want of provisions and forage obliged me to retire with my corps to Rozaw; the enemy has not molested me in my retreat.
(Signed) BENNINGSEN.
Rozaw, the 27th, (15th) Dec. 1806.
Abstract of other official Russian accounts.
Daily skirmishes from the 23rd December preceded the battle of the 26th, when Benningsen, having been reinforced by a division under prince Gallitsin resolved to make a stand. The French were under the immediate command of Bonaparte, who confided the attack upon the Russian wings to Davoust and Lannes—they appeared to have made some impression in the early part of the attack. Davoust forced general Baggonaut to fall back; but the latter having been promptly reinforced, Davoust's progress was effectually checked. Meanwhile Lannes was endeavoring to turn the Russian right wing. The principal attack and heat of the battle appears to have been in that quarter. Bonaparte directed the operations in person. An underwood favored the approach of the French who obliged the Russian advanced guard to fall back upon the main body. But Benningsen had foreseen that the chief effort of the enemy would be made upon his right wing, and had thrown up a masked battery between the front of his main body and the advanced guard that had been posted to cover it. So soon therefore as the advanced guard was forced by the impetuosity of the attack made upon it to fall back the masked battery opened upon the enemy a most galling fire of grape shot which soon checked
their progress. General Tolly, who had the command of the advanced guard, pushed forward again, but was again obliged to fall back, and the enemy attempted to outflank the battery. Benningsen saw that this was the critical moment, and with great promptitude, skill and decision, ordered his right wing to change fronts, reinforced general Tolly from his centre, and having thus stopped the progress of the enemy, made an attack upon them himself, general Osterman advancing with his division towards the right and Benningsen supported him with a strong train of artillery and 20 squadrons of cavalry. He ordered also the remainder of the cavalry to form their front in his centre, which had the effect of keeping the centre of the French from making a movement to support their left wing. The attack and defence were furious and sanguinary; the French fought with desperation, but were obliged at last to fall back, and were driven in confusion from the field.
PETERSBURG, Jan. 6.
The prisoners we have taken declare that they have lost in killed alone, above 6000; our loss does not exceed 2000 men.
LONDON, February 10.
It is supposed that the campaign is over, and that as the French are gone into winter-quarters, no warlike operations will take place for some time. But it should seem from the last dispatches from Russia, as if marshal Kaminskoy had concentrated his army within the circuit of a few miles, for the purpose of resuming offensive operations immediately. He is only waiting the supplies that are on their way to him of forage and provisions. The Russian troops are peculiarly calculated for carrying on war during the winter, and we should imagine that Kaminskoy will attack the French in their cantonments. The two armies are so near each other, particularly those detachments that are between the Omulcio and the Oreye,
That the fird centines almost receive. Thesecret whispers of each other's watch. The Russian army is in the best state, full of confidence, and enthusiasm, and impatient to meet the enemy.
We are more and more convinced, that Buxhoven was not engaged at all on the 26th December. If our readers will refer to the disposition of the Russian divisions, they will find his division occupying a position in the rear of Ostrolenka, at Glenki, Nowygrod, and Loniza.
The utmost exertions continue to be used in the king's dock-yards at Chatham, Portsmouth and Plymouth, in order to get ready a fleet for the Baltic. Sixteen of the line, mostly old 74's, are to be cut down and fitted for sea, with masts of the rate of 64's.
Gen. Paoli died on Thursday night, at a very advanced age, at his house near the Edgware road; famous for the part he took in the affairs of Corsica, in the reign of Louis the fifteenth, and the god-father of Bonaparte.
Private letter from a very respectable merchant at St. Petersburg, to his brother in London, dated 6th January.
"Long live our brave emperor and his gallant army! is the universal exclamation at St. Petersburg. Vasilizikoff, the courier, arrived from the army in Poland yesterday, at 11 o'clock, and brought the auspicious tidings that our brave soldiers had defeated the French in a masterly style, with the loss on the side of the enemy of 4000 men killed and 6000 prisoners. The particulars I have this instant learned, from a highly respectable quarter. They are as follows:
"The scarcity of provisions in the French army, and the hope of ending the campaign by a decisive blow, concurred to induce Bonaparte to pass the Vistula, at the head of 60,000 men. On the 23rd of December he advanced to the out-posts of gen. Benningsen's army, where gen. Osterman commanded. Although Benningsen's force was formidable, (55,000 men,) he preferred at first the prudent alternative of retreating, during the 23rd, 24th and 25th December. On each of these days skirmishes took place, but on the 26th the two ar-

made a stand in sight of each other, at a village called Selim, which lay between them. This village Bonaparte, who commanded in person, set on fire, to cover his attack on the Russians, whom he thus thought to enclose in smoke. This artifice, however, was soon turned against himself; for Bennington discovering his intention, instantly formed his reserve into a hollow square, which advanced, unperceived, under the smoke of the village. This gallant corps marched with fixed bayonets; the Russian line opened to let them pass through, and they never stopped till they reached the centre of the French. Here an obstinate conflict took place; but the Russians succeeded in not only routing their centre, but also turning both their wings. The left wing of the French being shaken by the Russian infantry, was entirely borne down and dispersed by general Chaplis, at the head of the cavalry, who killed 2000 men. Their right wing shared a similar fate from gen. Kozen, at the head of his Yagers. The rout of the French was complete. Davoust, Lannes, Bonaparte himself, all fled in confusion to Pultusk, which is eleven miles from the scene of action, and had been Bennington's head-quarters until the 23d instant.
"It is inconceivable what exultation this victory has caused throughout St. Petersburg. Bennington is by birth a Hanoverian; but such is the enthusiasm for Britain in Russia, that the people persist in calling him an Englishman. His victory is very generally compared to the battle of Maida. Both of these memorable events have proved that the only way of fighting the French is to charge them with the bayonet."
"The Cossacks particularly signalized themselves in this glorious affair. Their general orders from Kaminskoy are, to rush ventre à terre , into the very heart of the French artillery. It was this artillery which annoyed the Russians so dreadfully at Austerlitz; but we trust our brave irregulars, the Cossacks and Bashkirs, will prove an overmatch for it: in which case Kaminskoy has declared he will answer for the success of the war, since our infantry is decidedly superior."
"Bonaparte's spies appear to have been as unsuccessful as his soldiers. When Kaminskoy was at Grodno, one of these, pretending to be a Prussian general, brought a letter, signed apparently by his Prussian majesty, and requesting a confidential communication of the intended route of the Russian forces. The sagacious veteran instantly penetrated the fraud. Two Cossacks stripped the wretch, and, after administering to him some salutary correction, Kaminskoy ordered him to return to Bonaparte, and to shew him on his back the route of the Russian army."
"The account I have given you has been personally confirmed by Vassilkoff, the courier, who was an eye witness of the action; and I send it you by a messenger, who is on the point of departure for England."
DEMI OFFICIAL BULLETIN.
"Colonel Kawski arrived at Koningsberg on the 2d of Jan, with dispatches from gen. Kalkreuth, and a Russian messenger following the day after, with dispatches from gen. Kamenskoy. Excepting a trifling affair on the 28th Dec, in which a detachment of French cavalry made an unsuccessful attempt to cut off a corps of Cossacks, which was posted in advance of Rozaw, it does not appear that any engagement has taken place subsequent to the 26th."
"The victory of the Russians, on the 26th, was decisive; its own consequences would probably have been more important, had not gen. Bennington been restrained in his pursuit of the enemy, by intelligence that the divisions of Ney and Augereau had formed a junction near Grodick, and were advancing in his rear; the approach of night likewise contributed to the escape of the enemy."
"Upwards of seventy pieces of cannon taken from the enemy on the 26th, had on the 30th arrived at Ostrolenka, several others were buried in the roads. The peasants cheerfully assisted in their conveyance."
"Fresh troops are joining the Russian army, which by the middle of February will comprise three hundred thousand men between the Neimen and the Vistula."
"Gen. Tolstoy commands a corps of 16,000 men at Seitz; gen. Bagnot is posted at the little village of Martinky, on the Omulcio, across which river he has established a bridge: generally Tolstoy commands the advance of the left wing of the army at Seitz; the rear, with general Osterman, has fallen back
upon the strong position of Kolo, and the other corps of the army, under the orders of prince Dolgorouky, gen. Sandom, &c. occupy Wizna, Bialystok, Mazow, &c. General Buxhovden's division occupies Nowygrod, Clinki, Lomza, &c."
"The whole of the army is thus concentrated within the circuit of a few miles, notwithstanding the difficulty to provide provisions and forage; and it is hence obvious, that general Kamenskoy is determined to resume offensive operations the moment he is in a condition to do so. The Russian army is impatient to meet the enemy—nothing can surpass their enthusiasm and confidence."
"General Sifflé, previous to the affair at Fraingurkay, read at the head of his detachment one of the French bulletins, containing scurrilous reflections on the Russian army, on which the soldiers in tumultuous indignation exclaimed, "Lead us on, and we will punish our calumniators." A strong Prussian corps has taken possession of the defiles of Nikolajew. The French division under Ney, has fallen back behind the Dribeatz; and a corps of about 300 men, which had pushed beyond Ostrode, was surrounded by a Prussian regiment at Dentsch Eylan, and cut to pieces."
"That you may judge of the risk and danger which attended Bonaparte's person, his aide-de-camp, Segur, is taken prisoner. Every one is anxiously waiting further particulars."
"Such is the official account published at Petersburg. In every point of view it deserves to be considered as a great victory. We shall be told, perhaps, that no ground was gained, and that it did not produce the effect of forcing the French to abandon the Narew, and fall back upon the Vistula. But it is the first decisive check that the arms of Bonaparte have experienced upon the continent. He has gone on from victory to victory, in an unbroken series, till at last it had almost begun to be believed that wherever he carried his arms they must be successful. The Russians, however, have weakened that belief, and beat him in a battle in which he commanded in person, superintending the operations and directing all the movements. Had he not been there, it would have been said the battle was lost because he was absent. It is to be remarked too, that the French were beat, not by superior numbers, but by the promptitude and decision of the Russian movements, by the dexterity and skill of the Russian manoeuvres."
"Considering the victory in this point of view, deem it an achievement highly honorable to the Russian arms, and affording us an earnest of future success, we must say we were disgusted at the cold, cheerless manner in which the government gazette speaks of the battle. Instead of the tone of congratulation and triumph, we find a chilling comfortless acknowledgement, that the Russians "though unprepared for this contest, have made their retreat without any considerable loss, certainly with an army, unbroken—with a victory, by their own accounts."
"By the middle of this month, the Russian army between the Neimen and the Vistula will be 300,000 strong."
"The Petersburg official accounts makes no mention of any battles after the 26th; and it is to be remarked that in that account, as well as in general Bennington's letter to the king of Prussia, not a word is said of Buxhovden's division.—Was it really not engaged? and is the French report of the battle with Buxhovden, a mere invention? We must suppose it to be so, because we find Bennington's left wing engaged with the division under Davoust, who was said, in the French Bulletin, to have attacked Buxhovden."
COLONEL BURR.
FRANKFORT, (K.) Feb. 27.
"By an express, this morning, which brought the Natchez mail, we received the following letter from a friend, dated Washington, near Natchez, Feb. 9."
"After the grand jury acquitted colonel Burr, he went to his boats on the Mississippi above Natchez a few miles—harangued his people, told them that he was obliged to leave them—that he could not now comply with his promises to them—but assured them that they should have the lands he had promised on the Washita—that it would be some months before he could see them again; but, that they should not be disappointed."
"It is reported, but I know not on what grounds, that he then crossed the Mississippi, accompanied by one Ashley, who was formerly of the party of
Philip Nolan. I have been inclined to think that he is still in this neighborhood. Three of his company have been arrested, viz. Mr. Blannerhasset, Mr. Davis Floyd, and Mr. Halston—on the ground it is said of information given by persons formerly in the scheme, stating the intention to seize Baton Rouge, and probably Fort Adams.—They are not yet finally committed for trial. The party seems to have frittered away to nothing—and many people ignorant probably of the real views of Mr. Burr, will be most materially injured."
"Never, perhaps, did an enterprize of such vast extent, and aided by such a concentration of intrigue and talents and energies, terminate in effects so truly contemptible. A Spanish officer came to Mr. Burr ten days ago from Pensacola. His friend governor Folch, after forbidding the passage of the U. S. troops from Fort Stoddard to New Orleans, to arrest the progress of Burr, has come into the settlement of Baton Rouge to make an idle parade of resistance. Possibly the ex-vice president may next show himself there! But let him show himself where he will—if from the scattered embers of a fallen faction he ever revives in a shape formidable to the safety or tranquility of the U. States,—he will be a Phoenix indeed."
NEW-ORLEANS, Feb. 12.
"It does not appear that Aaron Burr was confined on board of one of the U. S. armed vessels, as was stated in the Orleans Gazette of yesterday. It was contemplated to arrest him, and the plan was intrusted to so many secret keepers, that Mr. Burr's spies learnt it, and he thought proper to be off."
Extract of a letter from Matthew and Alexander Buchanan, belonging to the Miranda expedition, to their relations in New-York dated,
"Carthagena Prison Dec. 30, 1807."
"Since we wrote you last, giving a full account of our unfortunate capture and situation, nothing extraordinary has happened us. We are still kept in close confinement, loaded with chains, and death staring us in the face. Unless our country will interfere, in our behalf, there is not the most distant hope of our effecting our liberty. We have been very ill, but have recovered our health a little. Several of our unfortunate companions are already dead; and considering our miserable situation, poor living, scantly allowance, exposed to fevers and other diseases incidental to this climate, it is surprising to me that one of us has survived so long. Benjamin Davis, and Wm. Long of your city are well, and pass our prison window in chains to and from their labor every day. John Scott has lost his heating, is very low, and cannot live many days. Of the number confined in the cell with us, two only have died."
GEORGE-TOWN, March 21.
"So much has been said, and so contradictory have been the reports, respecting the treaty, or the articles intended for a treaty, lately signed at London by the American and British ministers, that Conjecture has been baffled, and Opinion wanted data to rest upon."
"We believe we have it now in our power to relieve the public mind from that uncertainty in which it has heretofore been suspended. The treaty will be immediately returned to London for further negotiation. For this purpose the Wasp ship of war is ordered to be got ready for sea immediately, the officers are selected; the crew completed, and Thursday next is named as the day on which she is to sail. Captain Smith, who is to command the Wasp, will be the bearer of the treaty to London; from thence the Wasp will repair to the Mediterranean where she is to be stationed."
"In conversation on the subject of the treaty, the president has been heard to declare, that had he laid it before the senate, and that body had been unanimous in advising its ratification, still he would have withheld the sanction of his signature. So hostile does he feel himself to some of its principles, and so determined on its total rejection in its present form."
WASHINGTON CITY, March 24.
"Col. Burr.—The following is an extract of a letter, dated Cohetic, Creek nation, the 4th of March, received by a gentleman in this city, on Saturday evening."
"Yesterday Colonel Aaron Burr passed here conducted as a prisoner of U. States, by a guard of ten men."
"Col. Burr again.—We have just received certain intelligence that the executive have ordered a party of marines to meet colonel Burr in order to escort him to Richmond in Virginia, there to be kept until the meeting of the Federal Court in that state, on the supposition that his expedition was fitted out from Blannerhasset's island which is said to be in Virginia."

POLITICAL SPECULATIONS.
"THE annihilation of all power in Russia to act in Europe, is one of the primary objects of Bonaparte's policy: And this is to be done, indirectly, by making complete the subjection of those other nations who have a resemblance to independent sovereignties; or, directly, a campaign or two may shew to the world the standard of France waving upon the ramparts of St. Petersburg."
"Things, far more arduous and wonderful in execution than this, have been effected in the years that have passed in our own experience. We have seen Dumourier complete the conquest of Flanders in a few months; and it was but the other day that the squadrons which lined the shore of Boulogne, and made the "Army of England" broke up their encampment and marched in full career to the gates of Vienna—a march from Warsaw to St. Petersburg is not more difficult than was either of the above feats of triumphant conquest. The armies of those great commanders Marlborough and Eugene, were longer occupied at the single siege of Lisle, than Dumourier was in taking nearly all the fortified towns in the Netherlands—and in former times it required more fighting, and cost more blood, to penetrate the strong line of the Austrian states, than it did lately for Bonaparte to reach and to enter their very capital."
"Vienna is as distant from Paris as St. Petersburg is from Warsaw—and what a difference in the intermediate countries!"
"It was necessary for France, in her war with Austria, to open a way through the mountains of the Tyrol—always esteemed one of the most difficult labors for a general to accomplish. There is no Tyrol between France and Russia—but there is an open champaign country, best fitted for battle ground, and peculiarly adapted for the operations of the light troops, cavalry, and flying artillery of the French armies; the fortified places in Russia, are few in number—not constructed by the best rules of art—and the Russians are without experience in the arts of attack and defence and of consequence are entirely wanting in the ability to defend a town against the battering fire of French artillery."
"Russia, we say then, is a power by no means a match for France—and she has very much to dread from a desperate attack, if such should be made by Bonaparte."
"Of the maritime power of Russia Bonaparte may pass at this hour as the great controller. If he shuts up the entrance of the Baltic, and he certainly has it in his power so to do, and closes the Hellespont, Russia will have no access to the ocean, and must confine the sailing of her fleets to the waters of the Baltic and the Euxine."
"It is in vain that some deceivers talk about the moderation of France, as manifested after the battle of Austerlitz; moderation has no part in her policy, unless it be in moderation of necessity."
"At the battle of Austerlitz, Austria, to be sure was completely humbled, and so was Russia; but we would tell political empiricks, who talk of every thing and know nothing, and French intrigu-

ers whose business it is, at one time to picture in high colors the power of France, and then to preach about her moderation, that they should remember that time is as necessary for the securing of a conquest as force is for the making of such conquest.
France was very faithfully occupied, after and before the battle of Austerlitz, in the delicate work of keeping together her various dominions. Holland was to be fastened completely. Italy was to be made secure; the Imperial seat was also tottering and in danger of falling; and if at that period the Austrian territories had been added to the already troubled and heterogeneous empire of France, the consequences might have proved fatal to Bonaparte; he therefore deferred, but he has not given over the conquest of Austria, she falls when his Polish majesty is so well fixed as to render a hearty assistance to the emperor of the French.
Bonaparte has more policy than Charles of Sweden; he knows that before new conquests can be made the old ones are to be well settled.
In fine then, we give it as our opinion that the independence and freedom of the states on the Continent of Europe are gone; and gone without a hope of their quickly rising again. But we look with a cheering countenance towards an island, which strong in her situation, strong in her most laudable pride, strong in her liberty, strong in her patriotism, and in that zeal which her inhabitants glory in cherishing for their king, their country and the altars of their God; will we hope and trust live unhurt in the fury of the murderous tempest; and which
"In the midst of seas like a tough man of war." Will keep off the Dragons and the Centaurs of France, and leave them to prey and grow gangrenous upon the rotten victims that have fallen under their destroying fangs.
As for America, she must look for protection to some other governors than her present; and will find the ark of safety to be her constitution, administered according to its principles and its spirit by patriots and federalists, who are not now to be found at the posts of peril and official duty.
A state troubled on all sides—vexed by British spoliations—undermined by French intrigues, and played upon by their instruments, Spanish poltroons, A state thus fretted by foreigners and vitally affected by treason at home, must be considered as exposed to terrible evils and as requiring salutary measures and a vigorous application of the national strength to bear her thro' such conflicts and dangers.
Look at a green and sickly administration—frightened at French whiskers—giving the wall to a little bully of a Don and guilty of a senseless act of spleen against a nation who is now their natural friend; and then of sneaking out of a difficulty in which they had swamped themselves—Look at an administration ignorant or careless of the progress of a treason hatched under their very nose—and tell me what can be expected or what can be asked of such a pulling set, but low and mean devices, equivocal shifts, unmeaning and unprofitable measures and a bad execution of all.
Oda qui nimium limet regnare nescit. The times are tempestuous and the aspect of the day is threatening—we must have our best tried patriots at the helm, or the ship must founder.

"The public will learn with interest that the literary monument which has long been projected to the memory of the most illustrious character of modern times, is at length completed. No apology can be requisite for erecting such a monument to him, who was the first in war, the first in peace, and the first in the hearts of his fellow-citizens; to him who was the founder of a great and prosperous empire, and whose moderation and pure patriotism challenge the imitation of all statesmen—This performance of Judge Marshall, has already been distinguished by the most honorable and unequivocal testimonies; it has been hailed as an acquisition to standard literature; and it has been considered as deserving, in point of execution, a place by the side of Robinson's Charles the fifth, and as unrivaled in the authenticity of its materials, by any work in
the entire compass of history and biography."
Subscribers to the American edition, will learn with pleasure, that the 5th Vol. is now published.
REMONSTRANCE TO WINTER.
BY J. MONTGOMERY.
AH! why, unfeeling Winter! why Still flags thy torpid wing? Fly, melancholy Season, fly, And yield the year to Spring.
Spring —the young cherubim of love, An exile in disgrace, Flits o'er the scene, like Noah's dove, Nor finds a resting place.
When on the mountain's azure peak, Alights her fairy form, Cold blow the winds—and dark and bleak, Around her rolls the storm.
If to the valley she repair For shelter and defence, Thy wrath pursues the mourner there, And drives her weeping thence.
She seeks the brook—the faithless brook, Of her unmindful grown, Feels the chill-magic of thy look, And lingers into stone.
She woos her embryo flowers in vain, To rear their infant heads;— Deaf to her voice her flowers remain Enchanted in their beds.
In vain she bids the trees expand Their green luxuriant charms;— Bare in the wilderness they stand, And stretch their withering arms.
Her favorite birds, in feeble notes, Lament thy long delay; And strain their little stammering throats, To charm thy blasts away.
Ah! Winter, calm thy cruel rage, Release the struggling year: Thy power is past, decrepid Sage! Arise and disappear.
The stars that graced thy splendid night Are lost in warmer rays; The Sun, rejoicing in his might Unrolls celestial days.
Then why, usurping Winter, why Still flags thy frozen wing? Fly unrelenting tyrant, fly— And yield the year to Spring.
