THURSDAY, Dici sts 11.

We have received a series of the Haredurer
C.rrespuidenirn to the 4th inst. and Dutch and
Paris Papers to a late date. From the latter
we have extrafted, with other articles, the Thirty-
second and Thitty-third Bulletins of the Grand
Army, emitailling a Copy of the terms of the
Armistice between Prussia and France. The con-
ditions are such as we expeElcd. Fit u ERICK WIL-
LIAM has been required to put almost the whole of
his dominions into the hands cf the French, and• to
throw himself upon the mercy cf the Conqueror.
Koenigsberg appears to be almost the only strong
place of which he is allowed to retain possession.
At that place, the Prussians are to assemble from the
right bank of the Vistula, and the French are to
retain possession of South Prussia, on the right bank
of that river, to its junaion with the Bug. Thorn,
Graudentz, and Dantzic, the three principal places
upon the Vistula, north of that point; and Glegau
and Breslau upon the Oder, with the Duchy of that
name on the right, and a certain portion of territory
on the left, are also to be put into the hands of the
French. Stettin and Cumin, the two other strong
places on the Oder, were already in their possession,
by conquest. The fortresses of Hameln and Niem-
burg ar also to be delivered tip to them, on con-
dition that the garrisons are not to be made prisor•.ess
of war ; but it appears from the 31th Bulletin, that
Hameln had, been takes, and the garrison made
prisoners. Western Prussia, and the greater part of
South Prussia, beirg thus covered by the French,
and the Prussian troops collated and pent up in
Koenigsburg, the other parts of Eastern Prussia are
not to be occupied by any troops, Prussian, Russian,
or French. If the Russians have arrived there, they
are to fall back, and the King of Pavut• engages
not to receive any of them, during the continuance
of the Armistice. The Armistice was signed it
Charlottenburg, on the 16th November, and the
exchange of ratifications was to take place at Gran-
dente, on the list last, at farthest. The negocia-
tioss which led to it, were opened so far back as the
13d of Otflober.
The 52d Bulletin recapitulates the force of the
Prussian Army, aad states it at 145,000 men, all
of whom have been either killed, wounded, or taken.
The force remaining to the King of Peluso., is
estimated at not more than 20,000 men.
At the signing of the Armistice, the French bad
taken the following positions : Lam is was at
Thorn; A;:ote esti at Bromberg, nearly opposite
Graudentz ; DAVOUST was advancing from Posen
to Warsaw t -hamar 800 AAAAAA was besieging
Gros Gloga. and Breslau ; Louis Bort aaaaaa had
been ordered back to Holland, to defend his King-
dom in person.
The Hamburgh Papers state, that the Armistice
has not been ratified by His Patssi•a MAJAST
in consequence of which, BON aaaaaa left Berlin
on the evening of the 25th ult. for Custrin and
Posen.
The greatest part orate French troops have Left
Hamburgh.
From Hallam, Nov. Mit is observed, that " not-
sr./Wending the war with Prussia is ended, troops
from all parts of the French empire continue to pass
the Rhine, to reinforce the Grand Army. The plans
of NArot.zos are not yet completed to their full ex-
tent, as great changes may be expo:led in Poland
and in the North of Europe."
An article from Vienna, dated Nov. 18, sayst—s
" All the reziments on the frontiers have had orders
to march immediately to Poland, and to halt but
one day out of five. Since the theatre of war has
been removed into Poland, hese troops, it is said,
are to form a new Cordon of Observation."

From Bamberg, Nov. 21, it is stated, that Bres-
lau, the capit.l of Prussia* Silesia, has oie..ed iu
gates to the vt&orioUs French army.
The Pais Papers of the !nth ult. mentirn the

Deeatu, in 33 daps.--Tait mutt 5e a mistake. It

It appears from an article in the 'A.
pers, that Russia and Turkey have ►ettled
ferecces.

Government, we understand, have
ligence, that Bo AAAAA TC is making
exertions. to increase his navy, and are
least to keep pace with him. Several new ships
to be im nediately laid down, and those now on
stocks ordered to be finished with all expedition.
