The latest accounts from St. Peteisburgh, brought by the
mails, are dated the 29th of December, at which period there
had not been any intelligence published in that city, subse-
quent to the departure of the Emperor from that capital. It
is stated in a letter from Elsineur, of the 19th ult. that
70,000 Russians, under KerusoFF, had proceeded to Gal-
licia ; that 80,000, under WITTGENSTEIN, had entered
Konigsberg; and that 70,000 were at Warsaw.-
MuItAT has been disgraced and deprived of the command
of the grand army, prubably because he imitated BUONA-
PARTE. and retired from Modoloscheno to Elbing, without
trying to maintain Vilna, and sacrificed every thing to
secure his personal retreat. EUGENE BUONAPARTE is ap-
pointed in his stead, as more accustomed to a grand admini-
stration, and enjoying the whole confidence of the Est PEROR!
Lisbon Papers to the 12th ult. at rived on Tuesday. Jo-
SEPR ba.s returned to Madrid; Sec HET is still in Valencia;
and SOULT is expected to recommence operations early in
the spring. The Marquis of W ELLINGTON was expected
at Lisbon on the 'Bth. It is confirmed that his Lordship
had obtained an army of 50,000 `%paniards, completely
clothed, armed, and equipped, should be placed under his
unlimited command, and selected and officered under his
immediate inspection. The privates will be chosen loin
among the veteran Spanish troops now in the field ; and the
Officers will, with few exceptions, be British.—Private let-
ters state, " that the British army had nearly recovered from
the fatigues and relaxation of discipline incident to the late
retreat.—An issue of ray, clearing the arrears to the 24th
of August, bad been made in guineas, at 21s. each, which
was a great benefit as %veil as a great relief, each guinea be-
im*, current for us. Lord \V ti I.INGTON was to pass some
days at Lisbon, previously to his joining the army ; a large
mansion wa, prepared for his reception."
Further Lisbon Papers to the 21st ult. arrived on Wednes-
day. The Marquis of WWI_ L.INGTON arrived there on the
Gth, and was received with all the distinction doe to his
eminent services in the cause of the Peninsula. His Lord-
ship set out on the 20th to rejoin the army, and was ex-
pected to ascend the Tagus by boats to a certain distance,
and thence to proceed by land to head-quartets. It is stated
in some intercepted letters, that it is the intention of the
enemy to make a great effort early in the spring to drive
the British Army from the Peninsula, by uniting the four
armies of the North, the Centre, Portugal, and the South.
Other accounts state, on the contrary, that the French are
reducing their forces in the Peninsula; that 24,000 had re-
turned to France, exclusive of 8000 under CAFFAILELLI.
