The Emperor continues his short excursions.
Yesterday he passed the night at %Villenberg, and

in with any of the enemy's advanced posts.
An Order of the Day prohibits the admission of
any Prussian OtS:ers into Berlin, who, being pet.
sowers of war, leave their 'talons contrary to thjr
parole of honour.
The Tartar Iktehim, a laniaary. and the Creek

w, continue their journey to England.
Alt that we have advanced relative to the nip.

official letters received by the Turkish Minister in
this city. The Greek Courier, and the Tartar,
have brought dispatches respeAing this event to M.

Not only with Sweden, but with the Emeriti!. of
Germany, Napoleon uses the same diablical in-
trigues of state, but with es little success. By
tespetaable private advice' from Vienna, of ;he Ist
instant, the Hungarian army ss arrived, in great
part, over the Carpathian mountains, on the Cana, a
of GalEcia ; and all the temptations, and alluring
baits, held by the great despoiler rf moral ay eat
mankind, are rejected by the Aus ruin Court. As
the latter has paid up all the lineal's of the contri-
butions due to the French, the fortress of Brau•
nau will, it is said, be delivered up again.—
Private letters are said to have reached Vienna, from
Cracow t that the Austrian General, Baron Viecerts
is gone from Warsaw to St. Peer•burg. The
ex-
change of Couriers between Warsaw. Petersburgi,
and Memel, was mote brisk than ever. Orders horn
Napoleon have been sent to the interior of Franc-.
as well as to the Confederate German Coons, to
send troops to Italy, where great apprehensions are
etstettained of a visit from the Russians.

LONDON.
THURSDAY. Faisal:Aar 2.6.

We :untreated, pesterdey, the arrival of !lairs
(torn Denmark, with letters and papers from flans-
burgh and Altona, to the I4th east. coataining ac.
counts from the immediate theatre of war in PO-
land, to the Stlih of January. These accounts.
dated Elbing and Warsaw, the 09th. confirm the
report which we communicated in a SICOND EDI'
nee, eachurreiy, on Monday last. of the defeat of
the French by the Russians on the 23th of January.
The reader will recolleel the Fifty-fourth Bulletin,
dated the 9.7 th, stated. that " on the right and
centre of the army, the enemy were then more than
33 leagues from the French poets." The idea
sought to be conveyed by this ezpression was, that
the Russians dire nit approach nearer on these
po;nts ; but th:s was a wilful misterresentation.
The diennce between the two armies was ir.cressel
in that direelion, because the French wer- strength-
ening their left. with a view to penetrate to Konirgs
berg. and tare the tight of the Russians.—
Fat this purpose, BaRNADaTTE had. previous to
the fecle taker. possession of Elbing, and Nee had
forward to support him. .• Ntv's corps,"
the 51 t:1 Bulletin adds, " had advanced 1:0 leitgu.3
from their cantonm •mi, and the Rwsim army,
r a 1.4 m, in id a movenient upcn its f!glit,
and battalions returned within tlet lir.e of
their cantoiorenns, with tut sustaining any loss."
This is a dir•ft admission. that the Russians suc-
ceeded in pieventiog the purpose of NE Y. and
ntough that is SA;d, in the French Bulletin, to have
ken effetled without any efliutt, it is (Luther ad-
mitted, that a Russian column, haring crossed the
lisle river Piessarge, advanced to Leibstadt, and
diore in the French out-posts. 'lt also adds, that
suis ieduc-d Be Ilk abOT WE to Week up from Elbing,
and that Itutiez marched South, to the support of
Net, an aBion was fcught by him, on the 23:h. in
Which the Russians were repulsed, and obliged to te-
tras% the Passarge. The S3th Bulletin, in giving a
d•teil of th.a bettle, stiles. that it was fetig'.a at hlch-
riug.n. that the French lost an Eagle, but after-
nerds recovered it. and that the Russians had 1200
killed, and 503 taken pr.soners. Snell is the sub-
tierce of the French official accoutre of the mili-
tary operatioes, up to the ta h of January. Let
us n w set.str the situation of the re.peeive armies
on illf• 2AI. according to the accounts of that date
from Libiug sod Warsaw, bnsught by the Danillt
Mails, and published in Papers net under the con-
trottl of ,Zoma PA II to fiThi.i last point is material,

because we find, in an article dated Posen, that in
a ty place in tile power of this French. it is death to say
anything tillavourahle to their arms. The French, we
leirned, (rim their own accounts, have evacuated Er j
bng and all the c:-:untiy in that neighbourhood, of
which they were in possession, to the shores of the Bal.
t;c. The accounts brought by the Danish Mail, add,
that these phases have been re-occupied by the combin-
ed Russians acrd Prussians. The :aver are stated to be
at M.:rienwerder, and the former at Calm, within a
few miles of Thorn ; the blockade of Graudentz
has been raised, and the King of Pausste, who
had withdrawn with his family to Memel, has re-
turned to Koningsherg. The Russian Army, still
under the command of General BtllNlNGits. is
estimated at 200,000. It expeas a reinforcement
of 30,000 Cossacks.. and is distributed as follows:
Ge'-eral Esser+, with 40.000 men, is near Brochi
an ' Wissochi, in East Prussia; another corps of
20,000 men, is near Johansberg and Cloy, be- I
tween the Lakes; the other seven divisions ex-
tend franc Passeoheim and Neidenburg towards
Eglan. The Prussian Ceneral L'Esrocsa is
posted from Salfeidt to Marienwerder. It thus
appals that the Russians have abandoned the
line of the Narrw, and are transferring the thea-
tre of war into Western and Southern Prussia. On
the other hand, the French have abandoned Ostro-
lenka, Byalistock-, &c. and have nearly all crossed
the Vistgla, spreading tl.ernselves in Silesia. The 1
official report of the Royal (nivernment of tl.e Ge-
tv:ral Staff, dated Elhiog, January 29, in wind'
most of these positinns are laid down, adds, that
Beatranarxe has beets driven back into the forests
of Strasburg, twenty leagues from Elbing, where '
he is cpretpletelv sort-minded ; and Marshal Net to
Preasniez, in New East P:ussia, but that the latter
has joined ?ducts., and a gen:ral battle wa re-
pented. If .hese movennnts and r sition, even
approach toe truth. the French must have suf-
fered a sTette cheek upon their le:, in the battle
of Mahringets, of which day they avi,usly
appear to have besas the crireequxnce. Some ac•
counts indeed, state. that the adios at that place
was not co-fined to a single day, but that it
•was renewed on the 26:4, when the French ex-
perienced a severe defeat. The result in killed and
wounded Genentls i.f distinaion, as ;leen in some
acme's. is, as we stated yesterday, nr.ih-1 ' "'III
exaggerated ; but coming from E...!ng Ana War-
, SAW, planes in the vicinity of the operations
which they describe, we have so reason to
presume that they are not substantially true....
11 But these successes of the Russians, when we take
i the season of the year into consideration, carn.ot Le
supposed to have a decisive influence upon the fin?)
issue of the great contest in which they are engag ..t.
Bo
r T., In fore the b stile of A uerstadt, told the
Xing of raIIISIA that Ise must he conquered; and
the reason assigned was, because the population of
France was three times greater than Prussia.
1./pon the same principle. if Austria looks tamely
on, and Russia is left to her eau resources,
while Bort *rause swells his fumy horn the popu-
lation of all the rest of Europe ; from Italy, from
Spain, horn Holland. Hanover, Saxony, Hesse,
Prussia, and Poland, we tear his force will, ere
long, greatly outnumt.cr the army of Russia; and
we know it is by sttperimity ref numbers, and the
skilful and continued direaion of large masses to
particular points, that the French Pave achieved
most of their viaories.

Mr. JACKiON, brother to the lete Minister to the
Court of Berlin, arrived at a late hour on Tuesday
night, from the Prussian head-quarters, at Konings-
berg, with dispatches horn General Efutctitusote,
