THIRTY-SIXTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND

AR Y.,

PeSEN, DEC: 1-Thp head-yiarteri of the grand
Dukeof BERG were, on the. 27 th (.4 November, at
-Lowicz. Gen. BENNINGS.EN, Who commanded the
Russian, Army, had, in the hOpe of antic:rating the
French, entered Warsaw, and pushed. forward an
advanced .guard to take positi6as'along the river
Drizura..

011 tho 26th the out-posts of the resPedive Ar-
mies fell in with each other, andthe Russians -Were
thrown into confusion. General WAUMONT passed
the Drizura to Lowicz, killed and wounded several
Russian hussars, and made a regiment of CoSsaeks
prisoners, and piirsued the Ehemy
,t 9 Blouie.
On the 27th some skirmishing took place between
the 'advanced postS of the caNlilry of both Armies,,
When the Russians were pursued, and some taken.
prisoners:
On the. 28th, towarth evening, the Archdoke'of
BERG entered Warsaw with his cavalry, and on the_
29th the Corps.of Marshal DAVOVST advanced to
the capital. • The RusSiins had retreated over the
Vistula, and had burnt the bridge after they had pasS-
ed.. It would be diVult to describe the enthusiasm
Of the P4les. - Our entrance into the capital was
tfuite a triumph, and it is impOsSible. to form an idea
of the zeal which the Poles of every rank display'.
Patriotisth and national spirit have hot dirhinished-
iit the hearts of this people, but have acquired new
force amidst misfortune.. The most fervent desire,
the.rinlY wish of the • Poles, is to become again a
,Nation. The powerful abandon their castles, and
come to irriplore with earnestness the restoration of
their Nation; 'and offer their children, their for-
tunes, and all their influence towards accomplishing
that end. ThiS spectacle is indeed interesting.—
They hale already every where resumed their an,
cient dress, and their former customs.
• Shall the Polish Throne be re-established, and
shall the Great Nation secure for it respect and in-
dependence ? Shall she recall it to life. from the
graVe ? God only, who direds all human affairs,
can resolve this, great political question. But cer-
tainly il'ever did More memorable, more important
events, arise. From a • congehiality of sentiment,
which does honour to the French,the few stragglers,
who were guilty of e•cesses in other countries, have
experienced' io goell a reception from the people
here, that no severe regulatidlis have been necessary
-to make them condud themselves with propriety.
Our soldiers often, observe, that the solitary wil-
dernesses of Poland itre very diOrent, from the
ing fields of their owri country—but they Mime-
diately add, the-. the Poles ate good. ' Jacked, the
peOple of this country exhibit themselves in such a
light, that it is impossible not, take an interest in
their destiny.

The day after this Bulletin ,was published, =Me.-
lye the memorable 2d of December, there was ad-
dressed; in the name of the Emperor, t() the Grand
Army., the follw.vidg Proclamation : •

Imperial Ilead-Quarters at Pvsen, Dec. 2, tBO6.

SOLDIERS

A yearamgo, at this same hour, you were on the
memorablield of Austerlitz. The scared cohorts
of Russia fled defeated before you, or, surrounded,
laid down their.arms at the feet of their conquerors.
To the moderation, and the (perhaps) blameable
generosity, which overlooked the criminality of the
third Coalition, is the formation Of a fourth to be
ascribed. But the Ally on whose military skill
their principal hope rested, is already no more. His
principal towns, his fortresses, 'his forage and am,
munition magazines, 28.0 standards, 100 pieces of
cannon, arc in our power. Neither the Oder nor
the Warta, the Desarts of Poland, nor the rude sea-
son of Winter, have been capable of arresting for a
moment our. progress. You have braved all dan-
gers, have surmounted them all; and every Enemy
has fled on your approach. •In vain did the Rus-
sians wish to defend the Capital' of ancient anti illus-
'trions Poland. The French Eagles hover over the
Vistula. The unfortunate, but brave Poles, on cott-;,
templating you, fancy they behold= the celebrated
Legions of the Great SouttsKt returning from a mi-
litary expedition.
Soldiers ! We shall not'lay down our arms until a
General Peace has confirmed and secured, the power
of our Allies—until it has restored to our commerce
its freedom, and given be& to us our Colonies. On
the Elbe and on the Oder we have reconqueeed
Pondicherry,---all our Possessions in India,. the Cape
of Good Hope, and the Spanish Colonies. What
right has Russia to hope that she shall hold the ba-
lance of destiny in her hand ? What right has she to
expeel she should be placed in so favourable a situa-
tion ? Shall there be a comparison made' between
the Russians -and us' ? Are we not then the Soldiers
of Austerlitz ?

The Gulden Grove, Capt. PEACE, a Transport

day, when off the. Needles, 'fired into by a French
Privateer. Capt. PEACE itnniediately bore up, and
succeeded in' running the Privateer down. Forty-
seven of the Frenchmen were drowned ; the residue

Wight, a few days ago., by a French Privateer,
.which, on boarding

Mate's arm, and actually threw -overboard eleven
soldiers, every one of whom perished. They then

Among others eleven persons belonging to the

Our 'Government has now received information
respe6.ling the terrible hurricane which raged with.
so much fury in the West Indies, on' the 9th and
'lath of September. These advices, hOwever, af-

of Martinique, which was supposed by the English
-to have suffered'far more than the British Colony of

Extra: ;ganictlicial Letter, dated St. Pierre, Mar-
-1806.—" Duritig the night be-
lween4.lx4th i
nd tOth, Martinique experienced
most seversttorm. Four Ships which were iu St.
Pierre itoads were driven on shore,. This storm,
however, is not *to be Compared with the hurriCa*-,
which at-the same time devastated Dominica.

",.In consequence of the 'unexampled deluge of
rein which had fallen, the river of Ito;eau was 30
feet'abo,,:e- its usual height. i'dore than 200 houses
of the lower Gown are swept away, and, according to
the.lowest calculation, about 300 persons have been
drowned.

"- A great quantity of merchandize and produc-
tions of the pol9ny have been destroyed. Ail corn-
with the interior is cut off, in conse-
quence of the water having pverflown the roads ; and
all the Ships which were in the harbour have been
wrecked.

. •
The situation of this English. Colony is so dis-
tressing, that the Administratioh of Martinique have
permitted the exportation of a certain quantity of
flour, in order to afford to the inhabitants that first
aid which humanity requires."

The rumour of the arrival of Sir SIDNEY SMITH,
in the Termagavt,. is untrue.
A private Letter from Memel, of the 18th ult.
contains the following'intelligence ;
" MEMEL, Nov. 18.—Since the 15th of Oaober
we have been without any New:papers; our army
and King are at Osterode, in Ermelande. Our
good King has been most scandalously misled, and
treacheryusly dealt with by his Ministers; for sane
years.bacic. One of these cabinet villains has de-
tained.die dispatches to the Emperor ALEXANDER,
which. is the reason the Russian troops have not
reached our Frontiers before. BQNAPARTE has form-
ed eleven complete. Regiments, commanded by
"French Officers, out of the Prussian Prisoners ; these
are td stand the first fire of the Russians, and-should
they refuse to Atilt he. has part of his artillery,
charged with arape, placed in their rear, with thu

.BERLIN, DEC, I.—The Emperor of the French
has left this capital, as we have for some time ex.-
peßed he would do. His Majesty has at last pro-
ceeded to the head-quarters of the army which is
:,destined to drive back the Russians and re=establish
R.Poland. We therefore.sbon.expea .to hear of very
inipertant events. to judge from the passage of the
troops, And the .known bravery of the French, it is
not likely that the Russians will be able to contend
with them. In fiia,
