" A survey of the map of Germany chews us, th
the Circles of the Upper and Lower Rhine, Swa
his, Bavaria, Upper and Lower Sammy, hay
changed their anvent political existenae and form,
for new ones. The creator cf an these changes ii
the incomprehensible genius, trom whom so many
Provinces and States, from whom Germany alsc

" The Rhenish Confederacy will be a confederacy
of peace, of tranquillity, of simplicity, and of happi-
ness, for Germany, and, probably, for Europe. They
marrow-spiiiied and short-sighted policy cl ordivaryl
men, admits not of an elevation to those measures'
which are destined by genius and wisdom to en-
dure for ages. Pygmies would, in vain, attempt to
keep pace with Titans ; they creep where the others
Ay ; and, without making any progress, they run
themselves out of breath, and wonder that their
antagonists, without appearing fatigued, have
reached that goal, which, to them, seemed unat-
tainable.

" Disorder must precede order. Germany has
passed through the worst, and betters days are at
hand. The will and the wish of the Hero, and the
wise man of the age, of Napoleon the Great, is a
ger.cral and a permanent peace. Germany, Eu-
rope will obtain it, in spite of all the efforts of the
powers, misled or corrupted by the mercantile po-
licy of the Ktitish Cabinet, to prevent it. A long,
uninterrupted peace will reign over th., nations of
Europe; ages of blessing and of repose will be the
reward of the exertions of the wisest of heroes, of
the most heroic of sages'; an indemnification for the
long-protrafted sufferings of nations, oppressed and
treacherously deluded by a contemptible policy."

The Moniteur of the 26th of December, contains
a series of intelligence from the English Papers,
which is partly accompanied with observations.
Of these, the following is s specimen :—" Inha-
bitants of the Continct t, the English will remit the
capitals which you have in the English Funds.
Can there be a question on the subjed ? As they
have conceived such an idea, it is evident, that at
some future period, they will be capable of putting
it into execution."

ST LTTIN, DEC. 22.

According to the last intelligence from Konings-
berg, the King continued to retire towards the
North ; it is certain that his equipages have set out
for Memel.

tIVREMIIESO, DEC. 26.

The Ducal Houses of Sax qty have concluded a
treaty with France, br which they accede to the
Confederation of the Rhine, and furnish a contin-
gent of 2,800 men, in consequence of which they
are not only re-established is seam fro, but are ex-
empted from all requisitions, contributions, and
passage, of troops, and will have returned whatever
has been levied on them.
BANKS OF TEllt DANUIIII, DEC. 12.

It is said that a person of distioaion, who ei.jnys
the full confidence of His Majesty the Emperor of
Austria, will soon set out fur the French head-quaa-
tens.

There is a report, that in case of the restorarion of
the kingdom of Poland, Gallicia will be ceded to it,
and Austria will receive in exchange a much more
important country, acr entry which it has seen Stith
regret in the p issession of a foreign power, for more
than sixty years. The report of the cession of :he
principality of Salzburg. and the Innviertel, to Ba-
varia, is, as yet, too uncertain to be relied on. The
negociations carrying on at Vienna, are, however,
certainly of great importance. Numerous couriers
and expresses are continually passing, and M. M.
Andreossi and Durand have frequent coufereaces
with the hlinister Count Stadion.

VARSAW, OTC. 12.

The Gazette of this place, the Correrpvdenta,
contains a circumstantial detail of the events pre-
ceding the retreat of the Russian and Prussian
troops from Warsaw, in which are the following
particulars
As soon as the intelligence of the unfortunate
;fur^ of the battle of Jena had reached this city, the
garrison was dimir.i.hed by the departure of two
regiments of infantry, and a squadron of hussars,
fur Silebia. The remainder, on the Advance of the
French army, made preparations tor leaving us en-
tircly, and fur organising a city militia. Of this,
Prince Jostehloniatowsky aisurned the command.

Soon afterwards, several thusand Russians arrived '
in Praga, and two or 3,000 crossed the Vistula, and
proceeded to the Raure. Near this river an aftion
took place with the advanced posts between
Sochavrew and Blank. Many Cossacks and
Prussian cuirassiers were brought hither, wounded.
The Russians now undertook the defence of both
ends of the bridge over the Vistula : they covered
the supporters and pontoons with pitch, and bnuod
them round with straw, when they had adopted the
resolution of retreating from Warsaw to ['raga.—
The ev-ning before this took place, the Governor-
General, Von Kohler, left us. This worthy man
had, during tae eleven years of his government,
acquired the love and esteem of all the inhabitants.
If The Russians, under General Sedrnorazky,
marched hence on the 2d of December. Every
thing was put in requisition for repairing the bridge,
with the utmost expedition. A regiment of cavalry,
under the command of Colonel Latiosse, an I se-
veral companies of Pontonneers and Sappers, recon-
noitred the river.

" The Russian General, Bennigsen, on the 211th of
November, still had his Head-quarters at Pullusk,
beyond the Bug, 12 (German) miles from this city.
The King of Prussia, with his Adjutants, Kokritz
and Klein, was also there the week before. He re-
viewed the Russian troops, relinquished the com-
mand of the remnant of the Prussian army to the
Russian GenetAl, and returned to Konigsberg,
where the Queen still resid-d. He likewise pre.
rented the Russians with 100,000 ducats from the
Royal Bank at Konigsberg.
" Warsaw is 50 (German) miles distant from
Dantzig, 40 from Cracou. b 2 from Breslau, 41 l
from Posen, 72 from Berlin ; and SO from Vienna.
It is situated on the left bank of the Vistula, and
has neither ramparts, walls, nor ditches, but is
perfectly open. It is about one German (44 English)
mile in length, about half as broad, and 3 in cir-
cumference. The place is ♦ery inegnlarly built.
palaces and wretched huts being intermingled. In-
cluding the suburb of Praga, the city has 299 streets.
The amount of the numbered houses is 3,619. The
number of inhabitants is 63,369; among which are
302 Monastics, and 9,427 Jews."

?Awls, tor.c.

Several rich Jewish commercial houses at Lyndon
and Amsterdam have sent considerable sums to
Warsaw, for arming the Confederates.

Our Papers state, a that Austria will cede her
share of Poland for indemnifieatinns elsewhere."

POLITIC IL REGENERAI lON OF POLAND.

While France was ere ling herself into a Repuh-
lie, the Republic of Poland was annihilated. On
the 25th of November, 1795, its Chief Magistrate,
the unfortunate Stanislaus Augustus, was ohiged
to lay the Royal Crown at the feet of the same
Monarch, who, thirty years before, had plat d it
on his head. Fin,' nw—The end of Poland—
were the words with which the wounded Kosciusko
surrendered to the Russian Generals, Suwarrow
and Fersen, after the battle of Matschievitz, on
the loth of Oaober, 1794. How impossible was
it then to forsee, that Poland would experience a
change in her fate within so short a Fleriod. Three
of the first powers of the Continent had partitioned
her provinces among them ; and that any State
should acquire so great a superiority, as to be able
to cope with all these three powers, and to suhjva
the fate of the Sarmatian to its decision—how
far was such a presumption from entering into the
circle of polisical calculation
And nevertheless this remarkable period has now
arrived. Poland is to be regenerated. Her new
destiny was decided at Jena. Since the conclusion
of November, the Eagles of Napoleon have been
hovering over the banks of the Vistula. lie resolv-
ed to proclaim the independence of Poland, at
Warsaw, when the Poles sh ,uld have organized an
insurreaion of 30 or 40,000 soldiers. Towards
didaing this objea, the utmost exertions were made
by General Dumbrowsky, who has recently com-
manded against the insurgents in Naples, in that
very same South Prussia, in which he had, in the
year 1791, commanded the Polish insurgents, with
General Madalinski, against Prussia. Kosciusko, as
it is well known, was still at Paris.

The heretofore quiet regions of Poland, are now
the theatre of the greatest tumult of war, by which
they were ever pervaded. More than half a million
of warriors, of various tongues and nations, are as-
sembled in Poland, and on its frontiers.

Before the first partition, in 1793, Poland had, on
a surface of 13,400 German square miles, more than
twelvp millions of inhabitants, of whom about one-
fourth was snatched away by Prussia and Russia,
which were formerly feudatories of Poland. On
the breaking out of the French revolution, r-rr su.
perficies of Poland still comprehended 9960 German
square miles, and 8,354,620 inhabitants. The Jews
in Poland, who exceed half a million in number,
look forward to new times

While at 13;:lin, Napoleon declared w the Polish

deputies sent thither from Pc.sen, that Prance
never acknowledged any of the partitions of P,l
He has now repaired in person to that
the head of a greater force than he ever
dusted. I'te impending changes in the
not be doubted, any more than e
which must feat to the net:int:urnsg
the world, from the establishment of a
pire in Poland.
