Marshal Lefebvre attacked Gmeral Rnquette on
he 11th of lobtuary, at Nlarienwerder. The latter
had seven squadrons of cavalry, one hattzli,,n r f
infantry, and lour pieces of cannon. The eneo'y
was rooted at all points, and pursued, sword in
hand, more than four leagues. The road was co-
vered the whole way with dead and wounded. Ge-
neral. Roquette was indebted for his escape to i.e
swiftness of his horse.

It is confidently asserted, that the French army
in this neighbourhood is to be in:Teased to 103,0 CA
men, and is likewise to be joined by 25,000 Spanish
and 25,000 Neapolitan troops. At Venice, a land-
ing nt the Russians from Corfu is apprehended ;
the Gulph of Venice is filling more and more with
enemy's ships.

CONSTANTINOPLE. JAM. 9.
'rho 26th of December was the day of the depar-
cure of the Russian Amba3sador, the Chevalier ha.
linsky. He took with hint all the 7ersons belonging
to the embassy, and embarked in the English Admi-
ral's ship the Canopar. We have, however, not yet re-
ceived intelligence of his arrival in the Dardanelles.
where :a Russian frigate is watiog to convey him to
Malts. liis hotel, and all the houses belonging to
Russian subjeas, at Constantinople, have been
rigidly respe&ed by the Turkish *Government lnd
pen pie.

The evening previous to his departure, a packet
from Sebastopol, bound to Corfu, freighted with
military stores and specie, entered the Streights.---s
This vessel was toz.-,lly ignorant of the existing
rupture between the Porte and Russia, and was
cannonaded as she passed by the batteries situated
on the Streights. She nevertheless continued h-r
way to this city, where she was, at length, compelled
to submit, after the Captain had thrown overboard
all his dispatches, the loss of which is exceedingly
regretted. Some remonstrances of the Biitish Am-
bassador were suffic.ent to procure liberty for the
officers and crew, ail of whom M. Italinsky like-
wise took with him.
On the 27th, the Declaration of War was for..
malty pulisired in the Divan, inasmuch as the
Ilescript of the Giant! Signior to the Grand V4ir,
was read aloud. Nevertheless. the departure of
thin Prime Minister tnr the army, of which he has
the chief command, will not take place before tire
month of March. Nor has he yet appointed cry
Kcimakan or deputy. But as, according to cus-
tom, he must be accompanied by the Reis Eleadi
and the Ki. j s Bey, the persons who are to odie:ste
for the latter during thew absence, were omnivared
the day before yesterday. Haled Eircodi, who not
long since returned from his embassy to l'arii, has
received the appointment of Chief Secretary in the
Department of Foreign Affairs.
. In short, all mea urea have been taken in each a
manoer, that, by next spring, a very respe&able force
will be colleted. It is said, that the troops of the
111 W organination will not be employed in this war,
in order not to offond the people, on whom it is ee-
letssary particularly to rely during the preset
crisis.
