ble. Ocular witnesses are necessary to prove the facts to France, to
Gerrnanyv and to Italy, before the slow progress of troth will fill those
countries wish mourning and consternation. Indeed it is difficult to
conceive that in a ca►apaign of only fonr months duration, 130,000
prisoners should hove been taken from the enemy, besides 900 pieces
eh canetm, 49stand of colours, and all the waggsn train and baggage
of the army. A list of the names of all the Generals taken is hereunto
annexed. It will be easy to form an estimate from that list of the num-
ber of Superior and Subaltern Officers taken.
It is sufficient to say, that out of 300,000 men (exclusive of Austri-
ans), who penetrated into the liven of Russia, not 30,000 of them, even
if they should be favoured by fortune, will ever revisit their country.
The manner in which the EMPNROR NAPOLEON repassed the Russian
frontiers, can assuredly be no longer a secret to Europe. So much
glory, and so many advantages, cannot, however, change the personal
dispositions of His Majesty the Est penon of all the RIASTAS. The
grand principles of the independence of Europe have always formed
tt►e basis Of his policy, for that policy is fixed in his heart. It is beneath
Ms character to permit any endeavours to be made to induce the
people to resist the oppression and to throw off the yoke which has
wei,glied them down for twenty years. It is their Governments who'e
eyes ought to be opened by the actual situation of France. Ages may
elapse before an oppommity equally favourable again presents itself,
and it would be no abuse of the goodness of Providence not to take ud.
vantage of this crisi, to reconstruct the great work of tl,e equilibrium of
Europe, and_therehTto insure public tranquillity and individual happi-
teas.

had so entirely cancelled all the merit of his former deeds,
that no gratitude was any longer due to him ; as one who
ought to remember that the welfare, nay even the liberty of
Britain was so intimately connected with that of Spain, that
the one cannot exist without the other. Such is the language
of one of the Spanish public journals ; did not a spirit of
black ingratitude reign throughout, we should feel no other
sentiment but that of contempt fnr its writers; for is it not
absurd in the highest degree to hear them talk of our liberty
depending on theirs, when the whole world is a witness that
our liberty resisted their efforts, when they -had espoused
themselves to the cause of France. But the they
in question
is of so heinous a nature, that it calls forth our utmost resent-
ment, and could we suppose it sanctioned by the Regency
and country at large, it would induce us to wish that a nation
so devoid of all sense of the greatest and most important
obligations, should he left to work their -own destiny, and
see if, unassisted, they could repel their invader.

The Swedish Expedition is said to be again preparing.—
Mag;:zines are collecting, and large ships are detained for the
transport of the troops.
The French Government is said to have cal!ed upon the
King of DENIII ARK to send the whole of his force to join the
French in active service. It is also said to be in order to
prevent their doing so, that the Swedes are renewing the
appearance of their expedition.
A society of Patriotic Ladies has been formed at Peters-
burgh, under the patronage of her Majesty the EMPRESS, for
the support of the families who have sot ered by the war, and
for the relief of the wives and children of those who are with
the army.
We have learnt, from a Russian correspondent, a curious
anecdote, illustrative of the altered feelings of those soldiers,
who bad been taught to look up to this same NAPOLEON, as
a tutelary deity. For a long time he rode in a close carriage,
surrounded by his half-famished and dispirited troops. At
length the men, indignant at seeing him sitting at ease, and
feeling no part of the calamities he had so wantooly brought
on them, cried aloud, " u Las la voiture," (down with the
carriage). This call- was not to be slighted : BUON APART E
instantly quitted the vehicle, and mounted his horse, covered
with his cloak, and muffled with fur. This condescension
did not, however, appease his followers, half naked and fa-
mishing with cold, they again cried out, " d Gas le manteau,"
(down with the cloak). The great NA PO LEON, in compli-
ance With the mandate of his soldiery, immediately threw off
his cloak and fur, and in common with his men, exposed his.
person to all the inclemencies of the season.
Other accounts describe the apprehensions and anxieties
of BUONAP ARTE'S mind, when left with his few remaining
troops on the march toward \Vilna, as most acute. On hear—
ing that NEY had escaped, he is said to have exclaimed, " I
would give the two hundred millions I am worth in the
Thuilleries, if that report could be confirmed." When he
saw NEY actually entering his camp, with a handful of men,
he could scarcely speak to welcome him. The Marshal is
said to have loudly reproached DAvousT, and indirectly
BUONAP A RTE himself.

It is said that the General, supposed by PLATOW to be
NET, killed in the battle of kowno, on the 14th ult. was Ge-
neral LARIBOISSIERE, the Commandant of the Artillery.
MURAT is said to have lost two of his fingers by the frost.
The city of Paris, wishing to testify its devotion to its de-
feated EMPEROR, has pompously made him the 'offer of rais.
ing and equipping a corps of 500 cavalry at its expence, in
expectation that this example will be followed by the relit of
the country !
