E2TE, DEC. 1111.

Resides the Russian ships of war, an English fri.
gate and cutter have been far some months cruising
of our harbour. and they rigidly search all vessels
passing and repassing. Early this morning they
were attacked. a short league to the westward of
this harbour. by 7 large gun-boats fitted out at
Venice. The a,ftion continued till one in the after-
noon, with what success is net known here, because
a fog intercepted the •iew. Upwards of 1,500 can-
non-shot were fired. The fire of musketry was
likewise brisk. as the gun-boats were probably well
manned. About noon this firing seemed to become
more and mare distant. To-morrow we shall,
doubtless, learn the particulars of the whin.

'APRS Of Till hIAINK, bee. 30.

The property acknowledgeJ to be English, say
accounts from Leipzig, is now delivered up, and
has been deposited in the arsenal of %is city. It
amounts in the whole to an inconsiderable sum, and
should the English make reprisals on the commerce
of Saxony, there would bss a large balance in their
favour. It has been proved, in an authentic meinnir,
that Saxony has &math oa Enhod for some

principal articles, as linens, cobalt, &c. to the
mount of 620.000 &Mars, and this only rel rtLs to
what is known at Leipzig. With' mpett to the
E,glish wares, which have become, by payment, the
property of. Leipzig merchants, a srmonctrance
-oneerning these has been made to the French Em-
peror. The hostile measures against English com-
modities and manufatlitres, is extended to all the
principal towns of Saxony. In the capital, the
amount of English goods, most of which were
already sold, was 60,000 dollars.

sgieLts, jaw. 3.

The ratifications of the Treaties lately concluded
at Posen, between His Majesty the Emperor of the
French and King of Italy, and their Excellencies
tiie Dukes of Saxe Weimar, Gotha, Muningen,
lichrtighausen, and Cohnurg, were exchanged at
Berlin on the 30th of December, between General
(lake, Governor-General of Berlin, &c. nn the
one side, and the Plenipotentiaries of those Princes
n the other.

Barracks are preparing here to lodge the troops
which are to form our garrison. It is thought that
these troops will be those of the Grand Duke of
Nassau Weilberg. The Volunteers of the Emperor
are still here, they are all young men, of good fa-
mly, and who maintain themselves at their own ex-
pence: they form three companies, commanded by
M Nforknorarny, and are constantly exercised every
day.

TLe telegraph announces that Breslau is in pos-
s• ssion of the French.

On the 26th December. the standard of the No-
bility of the Palatinate of Posen WAS consecrated at
that place.
WARSAW, DEC. 25.

The Emperor set out for the advanced posts on
Tuesday, at five o'clock in the morning ; he passed
the night at 'abloom, at the house of Prince Joseph
Poniatowskr. The same day a bridge was con-
structed over the Wrka, at the place where it CA%
into the Bog. The R ussians were forced from two
Islands where they had entrenched themselves.—
That day the Emperor slept at Okunim ; the fol-
lowing (the 2141) the Russians were driven from
their positions at Pomikowo and Cyarnowo; they
fell back and joined a corps of 10 or 14,000 men,
posted at Nasselsk. This corps was beaten, some
prisoners and three pieces cf cannon were taken from
the enemy. His Majesty passed the night at Nas-
selsk. The Austrians permit to pass freely the pro-
vi.ions drawn from their country for the use of the
each army.
DRFSORN, DEC. 28.

All is perfeetly tranquil in Bohemia. the troops
are returned to their former garrisons, and have been
placed upon the peace establishment. The letters
from Vienna speak of nothing but peace. The con-
tingent of Saxony, destined for the Grand Army, is
forming, and gives undoubted proofs of the senti-
ments which actuate it.

NCIDIMBEIIG, DEC. 29.

Letters, which we have just received from Vienna,
state, that the Archduke Ferdinand has sunk under
his malady, and died at the age of 5^ years. The
same letters add, that the Arc! Jukes of Austria
will in future assume the title of Imperial Highness.
Letters from Jassy announce that the Russians
have occupied Choceim with the consent of the
Porte.

AIJOSZUIIICIt, DEC. 2S.

Brannan is again open for the course of the post
and travellers, !Art only daring the day. The fortress
remains :inn at night. Every stranger who visits
Brannan received at the gate by a :ens d'urtne
who accompanies him wherever he goes while he re-
mains in she city. The garrison is estimated at
4000 men.

SANK{ 0! TNt SLIM JAN. S.

In a public paper we find the following observa-
tion :—From the position taken by the French army,
after passing the Vistula, it appears that the Rus-
sians hare qiiitted the mouth of the Bug, and that
they are aot in force in that quarter ; their principal
army is now posted on the frontiers of Lithuania.

A letter from Anclam, without date, inserted in
a public print, says, among other things :—Mat shat
Monier, who has hitherto been engaged in augructv-
ing his army, is about to enter Swedish Pomerania
with his corps, and to surround Stralsund. The
Swedes appear to be prepared for this event.—
Lieutcnant•General Baron d'Armfcld is at their
head. The Swedish troops in Stralsund are com-
puted to be equal in number to the army marching
against that plate. But Marshal Monier is con.
tinually receiving large reinforcements from
Italy, France and Holland, and is particularly in
want of artillery. A raps of S3uo Swedes has
taken possession of the Island of &Igen, the tan-
giest of which has always been one of the principal
pints previous to an attack on Stralsund.
It has been rumoured, that the troops in Silesia,
under the command of Prince Jerome, hare received
orders to repair to Warsaw, and that the siege of
firesl 11.1 has of course been raised; but this intelli-
gence wants confirmation.
According to a letter from Lent'xrg, it is not a

few reginsents,but a considerable corps of Austrian
troops, principally Hungarians, that are advancing
towards the frontiers of Gallicia.

KONIGSEZRO, DEC. IS.

The public are uneasy with respta to the heal
f Her Majesty the Queen, who is ill of a nervous
fever. Her situatior„ however, is not dangerous:
And as this fever has n-A yet been attended with any
ball symptoms, hopes of her speedy recovery are en.
tertained. It is said, that two columns of French
troops are on their march, one towards Thorn, and
the other towards this city, which many people z:e
quitting, to go to Memel, and even beyond th,
kontiers.

z tmacno, DEC. 23.

The following was the posi;iun' of the. Grand
French Army, after it had passed Warsaw in fur.
suit of the Russians:—Prince Murat was 31. tls
head of the advariced guard. Ile had under Ins
command five divisions of cavalry, vie. the corps of
Generals Beaumont, Klein, Mi!t.,u•!, Nalisno:i,
and I laurpolt. Theo followed three divisions of
fantry, via, those of Morand, Friand, and
and a division of cavalry, the v.-hole rirnmand,d Ly
General Viallanne. The corps ot the army of
Marshals Davoust and Augereau follow'd these
divisions. The corps of Marshal Lams covered
the left wing on the side of Thorn, and the corps
Marshals Bernadette and Souk, comm coded by the
Emperor Napoleon himself, farmed the centre.
General Baron D'Essen commands one of the
three Russian armies. The Army of Reserve,
formed near Kiow, is under the coriamand of Ge-
neral Count Buxhowlea.
