THIRTY-EIGIITH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND

ARMY.

rostra, nee 5.
Prince Jerome. who commands the army of the
Allies, after having closely blockaded Glogau, and
caused batteries to be construdled around that
place, proceeded with the Bavarian divisions of
Wrede and Deroi, towards Kalitsch, to watch the
Russians, and left General Vandamme, and the
Wirtemberg corps, to continue the siege of Glogau.
The mortars, and several pieces of cannon, arrived
on the 29th of November. They were immediately
placed in battery. After a few hours bombard-
ment, the place surrendered, and the annexed Ca-
pitulation was signed.
The allied Wirtemberg troops have displayed
great gallantry. Two thousand five hundred men,
considerable magazines of biscuit, corn, powder,
nearly 200 pieces of cannon, are the results of this
conquest, which is so important, particularly on ac-
count of the excellence of the works, and the situa-
tion of the fortress. It is the capital of Lower Silesia.
The Russians have refused battle on this side of
Warsaw, and have repassed the Vistula. The Grand
Duke of Berg has passed that river Mpurewit of
them, and has taken the suburb of Prase. 'lle
Emperor has consequently given orders to Prince
Jerome to advance on his right towards Prnlau,
and to invest that place, which must also soon fall
into our power. The seven fortresses of Silesia
will be snccessively attacked and blockaded. When
the temper of the troopswhich are in these places is
considered, no one can expel them to make a long
resistance.

The little fort of Culmbarh, called Plassenburg,
h.s been blockaded by a battalion of Bavatims
Being furnished with provisions for several months,
there was no reason to expeß that it should have
surrendered so soon. The Emperor ordeted artillery
to be prepared sit Cronach and Forchein, for batter-
ing this fort. On the 24th of Novemb?r, 22 pieces
of cannon were placed in battery, which determined
the Governer to surrender the place. M. De
Becker:, Colonel of the 6th Bavarian regiment of
the infantry of the line, wh• commanded the
blockade, displayed much skill and ataivity in the
situation in which he was placed.

Dated. Pn‘efif Dec. 7.

The Russian Army, enramanded by Gen. Denis-

'the following address from General Kosciusko to
the Poles, has been circulate] amongst them:—
Amidst the clangor of arms. which re-echoes
from Poland. Kosciusko is about to join you. In
the enterprise of the French, in their triumphs. and
by their awful eagle hovering before them, you will
dibtinguish those legions which display their cou-
rage in the four quarters of the Globe. and in on,
campaign have dispersed the suited force of two
great Empires, and have lately, in one week, anni•
bilated the labour of a century. the work of Fre-
derick, and the trophies of his old and celebrated
Generals.

" Dear Countrymen and Friends, who have
proved yourselves to possess a degree of fortitude
equal to our misfortunes ; you who, banished from
your native soil, have remained under a nation
iiieadly to Poland ; and you, who, having become
rrangers in the heart of that country, nevertheless
preserved the sense of glory, and the recolleftion of
your brethren, arise ! the Groat Natioo is before
r.l; Napoleon expelbs. and Kosciusko calls you."
This Declaration concludes with the followi,ig
passage:—o' I soon shall again behold the paternal
e.rth which my arm defended ; those fields which I
hive bathed with my blood ; and, with tears of joy
I ersibrAce those unfortunate friends wham I was
n t ptttnitteJ to follow to the grave; beloved and
have countrymen, whom I was compelled to
abandon to the yoke of the cesqusrets. I have only
lived to avenge your wrongs, and I now return to
restore you to freedom. Sacred remains of my
country I I hail you with transport, and embrace you
with a sacred mania. I will join you, never more
to part. Worthy of the great man whose arm is
trended towards you, worthy of the Poles who
new hear my voice. I shall now endeavour to
ettablisb a mare splendid and stable basis ; or, if
the name of my nrive country amrunted to nothing
m rc with my fellow-citizens than empty words, in
r.is tee I shall know how to avoid my disaster and
yncr disgrace, by burring myself under the noble
runs of our a.piiing fortune.
" But oto, she goo! times of Poland have return-
ed; destiny has not led Napoleon and his Invinahle;
