PETITION.

Sire—r.My Isaptismalixtrac Cii:sated 1690, therefore lam
at present 117 years old. 1 seem yet to my mind the battle of
Vienna, and the times of John fferLieski. 1 thouglrt they
would out be reproduced i but aesuredly 1 expected sun less to
see again the age of Alexander. lkty old age has procured
for roe the benatactions of all Sweerergns who hare been here,
and I ask thure of the Great Napoleon, being at my age, more
thao secular, incapable of work.

The ardour which animates the Conscripts seems
to increase every day. The Departments of l'Ain,
Charente Interieure, l'lndre, &c. have pro-
duced tt:eir contingents by the time fixed for the first
departure. The Conscripts of the Depatimect of
l'Ain have shewn the mint • lively enthusiasm upon
their departure, repeatedly exclaiming, it Vies
elsiniacte4. !" Those of the Lower Meuse left
Maestricht, accompanied by military music, pre-
ceded by the l'refeit and several Olfi.ets Civil and
Mil::ary. In the two Sev;es, Lot and G.ironne. and
all through the immense majority of tl.r depart-
ments, the business has been condulled witii the
greatest regularity. Even the States of Parma and
Plaisance rival the old departments in zeal ; and the
efforts of the Administrator-General have been
crowned with that success, which evinces the deer,-
tion of the inhabitants to HIS Majesty the Emperor
and the King. The 28. h of February had been
fixed by Government as the period for the comple-
tion of all the contingents. This period is near at
hand; but we have good reason for believing, that
out of the whole number of conscripts called out,
there kill not be :sttuo left bel.iutl, or who ate nr•t
upon the match by the I sth of that month.—(Meat-
tees.)

On the 20:h. several hundred Russian prisoner
arrived here under an etc int of Poles. They have
been lodged in some of the pnblic building% and
supplied with warm meat, beer, Ste.
Sixteen Russian °Seen were brought in to.d.iy.
The Prince of Ponte Corvo is Generalis.imo over

WARSAW. JAN. 20

The Russians are still ►ehiod the Niemen, but,
for W4Ol of provisi lit. we are aeured, cra►sider-
able part of them will. march towards Memel.
Ostrolenka and Bialystock, as being at ton great
a distance from the principal French odps, have
been abandoned.

The bridge of boats over the Vistula, considerably
damage,i by the drifted ice, has been repaired. Gen.
Vicror, we hear, has detached some troops by aay
of Mat lenhorg and Jibing to Koningsberp,.
*1 lie day before yesterday the works before Praga

sr sesAvr, JAN.

The Austrian Minister, Baron %intent, is still
here, and is treated by His M;4iesty with great dis-
tinaion. use Emperor has hall several conferences
with the Baron, who has likewise frequent interviews
with the Prince of Benevento. The Grand Duke of
Berg seldom appears in public ; the climate, it
seems, operates against h.s recovery from the fever
brought on by the fatigues of the last campaign.
A large transport of corn arrived here yesterday :
bread, of course, is again cheaper. Mole Russian
carmen has been brought hither and to Zarockzym ;
and travellers say, many pieces still remain sunk in
the mud, with their carriages, near Ph.l usk Most
of the Marshals are here ; they relieve each other
in the c• mmand upon the Bug erkry day.
A part of Marsh's! Ney's corps has entered West
Prussia, and invested Graudentz. Ostrolenka is
again in our hands, and we further learn, that the
French troops which have lately passed the Vistula,
are cantoned between Bionic and Lowicz. We
hear from our advanced posts, that the Russiatis
only shew a few small patroles upon the Narew.

VIENNA. JAN. '24.

•
The best understanding subsists between our
Court and the French t even the dispatches re-
ceived yesterday from Baton Vincent, at Warsaw,
are of that nature to at; ird gen-ral SA tiAACtion.
We are assured that the rcque.t of a passage for
40.000 French troops through the Austrian States to
Turkey, is one of the principal reassns for sending
Baron Vincent to Warsaw. In the mean while,
both the Gallicias, and even Hungary, experience
the good efeas of the disp sition of Austria : these
provinces supply the French armies with p ovisiJns
and ne,:essaties, and never was bard cash so plen-
tiful as at present.

JAN. *B.
From Tw key we !earn, that the bad we eller had
prevented the Russian troops from iuvesti•tg Giur-
gegen in the beginning of January. They had since
put themselves in motion, and their advanced posts
were already at Czerucze and KlAdova. Both these
are up•'a the Danube, between the Austrian hontwr
and Widdin.

The Russian army in Moldavia and I.Valiarilia in-
creases every day ; but the report that Brail.; and
Ismail were in their hands, is premature.
HAMBURG it, Fra. C.

An order was issued at Hanover on the .iuth, for
making domiciliary visits in search of English goods.
In future no pot-ash is to be exported from that
country, except to France.

IiEOMORN, JAN. 12.

Our correspondence with Sicily is much embar-
rassed. by letters horn Palermo, it appears that
the Prince of Hesse Philipsthal had sketched out
the plan of a new campaign in Calabria ; but there
is so formidable a force in that province, and the
inhabitants are so weary of the florid scenes they
have experienced, ti..tt the English cannot hope for
success.

FROM THE HAMRURGH PAPERS.

lIRA'DINBUIO,_YZII. 3.

From Warsaw we learn, that His Majesty the
Emperor Napoleon set out again for the army on
the 27th of January.
Mar►hal blawiena has left Berlin for the Grand
Army.

From Pahusk, of the Bth ult. we are informed,
that the French bridges upon the Vistula and tl.e
Bug, were broken by the ice, in the night of the
6th. Ga!Lela is still open : the Court of Vienna
permits both the Belligerent Powers to pu:chase
provisions and forage in that Province.

SWIDISH POMMIUNIA, JAN. 31.
Before the French entered Grietewald, they were
compelled to fire upon the place. A chasseur of the
26th, and a soldier of the 60,11, were killed, and five
or six wounded. There W. 41 another skirmish near
