regular Physician, who put a temporary stop to the viru-

time; but growing, in spite 'of all ineuicine and the advice
of the first Gentlemen of ',the Peculty here, worse and
worse for two years,. I was reduced to a state annost un-
paralleled and beyond description, being an entire leper, .
and ulcerated from head to foot.—My head, throat, mouth,
nose, legs, arms,- ere. have been alternately in danger of
becoming uteless; in short, I have had troM twenty to
thirty eating. ulcers on my body, and nearq totally de-
prived of sight.—lt would be voluminous to particula-

will he, one of a more dangerous, or of a mote -compli-

4"rhe Marquis LUCCHESINi appeared before the
advanced posts, with a letter from the King of Prussia.
The Emperor sent the grand Marshal of his Palace,-
Duttoc, to confer with him.
" Magdeburgh is blockaded. The General of Di-
vision LEGRAND, in his march to Magdeburgh, hat
made some prisoners. Marshal SOULT has his•RostS
round the City. The Grand Duke of BERG. has sent
thither General BELLIARD, the Chief of his Star.
This General saw there the Prince of frontNl.O.Hg.
The language of the Prussian Officers was much
changed : they loudly demanded peace. What
does your Emperor want said they. to us.`Will
lie pursue us continually so-closeiy.? We have not_
had a moment's repose .since.the battle ?' These
Gentlemen were, doubtless, accustomed to the ma:-
nceuvres of the Beven-. Years' War. They wanted to -
ask three days to bury their dead. ' Think of the
living 5' said the Emperor, leave to us the care of -
burying the dead ; there is no need of a truce for
that.'
" The confusion in Berlin is extreme. All the
good Citizens who groaned under the else dire -
tion given to the politics of their Country, 'reproach
the fire-brands kindled 'by England, with the sad
eifeds. of their Intrigues: There .is but ohe cry in
all the Country-against this Queen-. ' The Enemy
appears to be endeavouring to rally behind the
Oder. •
" The Sovereign of Saxony has thanked the Em-
peror for the generosity with which "he has treited
him, who is about to snatch him from the Prussian
influence. However, a great number of his 'soldiers
have perished in all this squabble."

FIFTEENTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
" WITTENBERG: OCT. 23.-:-';-Herels the intelli-
gence we have colle&ed concerning the causes of
this strange war.
" General SCHM2TTAU (dead, a priSoner at Wei-
mar) drew up a.memorial, written with much foice;
in which, he established., that the Prussian army
ought to regard itself as dishonoured : that it was,
notwithstanding, in a state:td beat the: FrenCh ; and
that it was necessary to make war. - •
" Generals RUCHRL (killed) and Minot-mg (who
only saved himself by asubt.crchge, and by abusing ,
the French good faitiO subscribed this memoir, •
which was drawn up in the form of a petition to the
King. Prince Louts FeammAlsn of-Prussia (killed)
supportecl.it by every species of sarcasm. The flame
spread through every head. The Duke of Brims- '
wick (wounded„ very badly), a man known only to
be _without a vill, and without decision, was enroll-
ed in the war-faaion. In- Short, the memoir, thus
supported, was presented to the King. The Queen
undertook to dispose the mind of the King, and .to
make known to him what was thought of him.;-•
4e reported to him that he *as not thought brave,
ifid that if he did not make war, it Was.because he
was afraid of putting himself at the head of his
army. The King, really as brave .as any Prdssian
Prince, gave way, without ceasing to preserve tho
opinion that he committed a great fault.
We should signaliie the then who have not
partaken of the illusions of the 'war partizans
These are the respedable FieldMarShal MOLLEti.
DORF and General KALKREUTFI.
We are assured; that after the fine charge of
the gth and loth regiments of hussars, at Saalfeld,
the King said, Yon pretended that the- French
cavalry was worth nothing—see,'nevertheleSs, what _
the, light. cavalry is doing, atili judge What Cuiras-
siers will do. These troops have acquired their su-
periority by i years fighting. As many are ne-
cessary in order to equal them but who among us
' could be so much the enemy of Prussia as to de-
sire this terrible proof ?'
" The Emperor; already master orthe Cdfnmuni-
cations and mag#ines of the Enemy, wrote, on the
12th of this month, the Letter which is annexed;
which be sent to the KIt4G of PRUSZLA, by the Or-
derly Officer, MONTESdUIOU. This Officer arrived
at. 4 in t;te afternoon of the 13th, at the Quarters
of General HOHESILONtiIi who kept him there, and
took the Letter•of which he was the bearer. _
" The Camp of the KING Of PRUSSIA was about
two leagues behind. That Prince should; therefore,
have received the letter of the Emperor at six in the
evening at the latest. We are however assured thitt.
he did- not reciive it till nine in the morning, tin the
i4th ; that is to say, when the battle was already
begun,
." It is also mentioned; that the King of Prussia
said. then---,' If .this letter had arrived sooner, pei-
haps we might not have •fought ; but these your
men's heads are sp high, that if there had been qua- '
tion here of peace ye3terday, I should nut have led
back a third of my army to Berlin.'
" The Xing of Prussia bad two hOrses shot un.
der him, and received a musket ball in his sleeve,
The Duke Of Brunswick has had all the blame. in'this
war. He has ill conceived, and ill direded, the
movements of the ariny. He thought the Emperor
was at Paris When he found him on. his flanks ; he
-thoUght tQ have the lead in the movements, and
.he found hiaiselfalready turned. '
" for the rest, on the morning of the battle
consternntion was already aniong the Chiefs. They '
perceived .that they v:ere ill 'posted, and -that they
were going to play the last stake of the monarchy.
'They all said, Well ! we shall pay in person's'
the common sentiment of men who preserve little
hope. The Q.L:cch was always to be found at 60

head-quarters of Weimar. It was necessary at last
to tell- her that circumstances were serious, and that
on the morrow great. events- for 'the Prussian Mo-
narchy might occur. She was desirous that the
King should bid her go away, and in ell-ea she was
reduced to the necessity of going away.
" Lord MonPwi'H, sent by the Court of London
to buy .the Prussian .blood—a mission really un-
worthy of a man like him;--arrived, on the filth,
at Weimar, charged to make 'seducing offers, and
to .proprose considerable subsidies. The horizon
was already very cloudy; the Cabinet was not will-
ing to see this :Envoy iThe was told, that perhaps
there was little safety for is person, and they en-
gaged him to return to Hamburgh, there to wait
the event. What would' the Duchess of MINTON-
SHIRE have said, had she seen her kinsman charged
with spreading the flame -of War, and corning to
offer poisoned gold, . obliged sadly to retrace his
• steps in' so great haste ? One cannot repress one's
indignation to see England. compromise the rank
of respeaable agents, and play a part so odious.
\V have, as yet, no news of a Treaty between Prus-
sia and Russia; and it is certain, that up to this day,
no Russian: has appeared in the Prussian territory.
In other respe&s, the Army desire much to see them;
they will find another Austerlitz in. Prussia.
Princelouis FERDINAND of Prussia, and the
other Generals who have fallen under the first'blows

of the French, are at present mentioned as the
principal movers in this incredible frenzy. The
King, who has run all the chances of it, and who
supports all the misfortunes which have been the
results of it, is of all men who have been drawn in
by it he who would have remained the most foreign
to it.
" There is at' Leipsic such a quantity. of, English
goods, that sixty millions have been already offered
to redeem them. It is asked what will. England
gain by all this ? She might have recovered Ha-
- Dover ; kept the Cape of Good Hope ; preserved
Malta ; made an honourable peace, and restored
tranquillity to the world. She was willing to excite
Prussia against France—to provoke the Emperor
and France ! she has condu&ed Prussia
to her ruin,`procured greater glory for the Emperor,
.and greater powers for France ; and the time ap-
proaches when we may declare England in a state
of Continental blOckade. Is it then, with blood
that the English hoped toleedtheir commerce and
reranimate their industry. Great mischiefs may
come upon England : Europe will attribute them
to the loss of that honest man and Minister, ,who
wished to govern by great and liberal ideas, and
whom the English people will one day deplore with
tears of blood.'
" The French columns are already marching
upon Potsdam and Berlin.. Deputies from Pots-
dam are arrived to request proteEtion.
" The Impetial head-quarters are now at Wit-
tenberg."

SIXTEENTH BULLE TIN OF THE CRAND ARMY.
" The Duke of BronsWick has sent his Marshal
of the Palace to the Emperor. That Officer was
entrusted with a letter, in which the Duke recom-
mended his States to the proteCtion of his Majesty.
The Emperor. said to' him, If 1 were to demolish
the city of Brunswick, and if I did not leave one
stone upon another, what would your Prince say ?
Does not the law of retaliation authorize me to do at
Brunswick what he would have done in my capital ?
To threaten to destroy .cities may he merely the
a& of madness ; but to attempt to deprive a whole
army of brave men of their hondur—to propose to
• them to quit Germany at stated marches—is what pos-
terity will hardly credit-The Duke of Brunswick ought
not to have committed such an outrage. Men who
have grown giey under arms, should respe& the ho-
noUr of military tnen ; it was not in the plams of Cham-
pagne that that General acquired the right to treat
the French colours with such contempt.. Such .a
summons only dishonours the soldier who makes
it. That dishonour does not belong to the King of
Prussia : it attaches to the Chief of his Military
Council--to the General, to whom, in difficult cir-
cumstances, he had confided his affairs. It is the
Duke of Bab. swicK Marie whom' France and
Prussia can accuse of the war. The frenzy of
which that .old General set the example, encou-
raged a set of turbulent young men, and hurried
on the King contrary to his own dispositiOn and
convikaion. Sir, tell the inhabitants of the country
of Brunswick, that they will find the French 'ge-
nerous enemiei; that I wish to soften the rigours of
• war 'with repfd to them; and that the inconvenience
which the passage of troops may occasion, will
,be
against my inclination. Tell General Brunswick
that he shall be treated with all the °attention
due to a Prussian ,Officer; but that I cannot re-
cognise a Sovereign in a Prussian General. If the
.rs,
HouSe of Brunswick lose the soxereignty of its
ancestors, it can only 'be ascribed to, the author of
two wars—=who, in one, would have sapped the
Great Capital to its foundation ; and who, in the
other, attempted to dishonour two hundred thou-
sand brave men, who perhaps might be conquered,
but who would never be surprised out of the path.
of honour and glory. Much blood .hai been shed.
in a feW days.. Great disasters press. upon the •
Prussian Monarchy. flow blameable is the man,
who, by a single word, might have prevented them,
if, like NESTOR, rising, in the midst of the Coun-
cils,, he. had said, Be silent, ye inconsiderate
youth ! Women, return to your spindles and to the
management of your domestic concerns ! And you,
Sire, believe the companion.of the most illustrious
of your predecessors; since the Emperor NAPOLEON
does not wish for war, do not place hilt) in the al-
ternative of.war or. dishonour. Do not,engage your-,
selves in a dangerous eonttm with an Army that
boasts of. 15years spent in glorious labours, and that
viaory has accustomed to every sacrifice.' Instead
of holding this language, which agreed so well with
the prudence of his years, and with the experience
of so long a career, he has been the first to raise the
cry of war; he has even been faithless to the ties of
consanguinity, in arming a son against his father :
he has threatened to place his colours on the Palace
of Stutgardt, and accompanying those proceedings
with :invectives against France : he was the declared
author of that frantic Manifesto, which he has de-
nied for these fourteen years. although he could not
deny that be had given it the sanaion of his sig-
nature.'

' It has beet remarked, that during this conver-
sation, the Emperor, with that warmth with which
he is often animated, often repeated, to overturn
and destroy the habitations of peaceable Citizens, is
a crime which can be repaired by time and expence;
but to dishonour an Army, to wish that it should
fly from Germany before the Prussian Eagle, is a
baseness that none but the person who advised it
could be capable of committing."

of her child. This is (said the Emperor) the first
time that I alighted to avoid a storm, and I had a
presentiment that it would be attended by some
good action.'
" It was remarked as a singularity, that the Em-
peror NAPOLEON arrived at Potzdam, and entered
into the same apartment on the same day; and
almost at the same hour, that .the Emperor of
Russia did when upon his visit to Berlin last year ;:
and which has been so fatal to Prussia. From that
moment the Queen entirely quitted domestic af-
fairs, and the suitable occupations of the toilette,
to meddle with those of the State, to influence the
King, and by these means to excite every where .
the same flame that animated her own bosom. The
thinking part of the Prussian Nation regard this
visit as one of the greatest calamities that could have
happened to Prussia'. • No idea can be formed of the
activity of the FaEtion to induce the King to go to .
War in spite of himself.
• " The result of the celebrated oath taken upon
the Tomb of the GREAT FREDERICK, 'on the 4th
of November, 1805, Was the battle of Austerlitz,
and the evacuation of Germany by the Russian
Army, by forced marches. Forty-eight hours after
this event, a plate was engraved, and exposed in all
the shops, and which excited even the ridicule of
the peasants. Here was seen the•great Emperor of
Rtissia, near him the Queen, and on the other
side, the King, raising his hand over the tomb of
the GRENT FREDERICK ; the Queen herself,
covered with a shawl, much in the same manner
as the London engravers represent *Lady HAMIL-
TON, rests her hand on her heart, looking at the
Emperor
,of Russia.. One cannot conceive how
the Police of Berlin could suffer such-a pitiful sa-
tire to be disseminated. At any rate the shade of
the Great FREDERICK could not but have been of-
fended at such a scandalous scene. His mind, his
genius, and his wishes were with that nation which
lie had so much esteemed, and of which he said,
that if he was their King; a cannon-shot should not
be fired in Europe without his permission. •
" 'lt being All Saints day yesterday, there was no
•buSiness at • the Exchange ; nor to' day, it being
.Sunday."

ARNIY.

" The Emperor has reviewed the-Imperial Foot
Guards, consisting of ten battalions, and tie pieces
cannon, served by the Riding Artillery. These
troops, which have undergone so much fgtigue, had
the same appearance as when they were at Paris.,
" The General of Division, VICTOR, received a
musket-shot in the Battle of Jeua, and was obliged to
keep his bed some dal S. The General of Brigade,
GARDANNES, Aid-de-Camp to the Emperor, had a
horse killed, and is slightly wounded. SOMe Offi-
Cers,of rank are wounded ; others have had horses
killed undei• them ; but all of them were anxious to
distinguish themselves by valour and courage.'
" The Emperor has been to view the tomb of
FREDERICK the Great. The remains of this great
man are enclOsed in a wooden coffin covered with
copper. It is placed in a vault, without any orna-
ments and trophies of viaory ; without any dis--
tindion to recal the memory of his great and 'heroic
anions.

The Emperor has presented to the Hotel of the
'lnvalids, at Paris, the sword of the Great FREDE,-
uck, the ribbon of his Order, the Black Eagle, and
also the colours which he took in the. Seven Years'
War. The old invalids of the Hanoverian Army
will receive every thing with a. kind of religious ve-
neration which. belongs to one of the greatest Gene-
rals in the annals of history.
" Lord MORPETH, the English Envoy to the Prus-
sian Court, was (Ally six hours distance from the
field of battle on the 14th. He heard the firing. A
Courier informed him that the battle was lost; and
in a moment after he was surrounded by fugitives
pouring in upon him on all sides. He ran away,.
exclaiming, ‘ I must not be,taken I' He offered 60
guineas for a horse : hp obtained one, and fled.
" The Citadel of Spandau, three miles from Ber-
lin, and four from Potzdam, strong by its situation,
in the midst of water, having a garrison of 1200
men, and a great quantity of-ammunition and pro-
visions, was surrounded in the night of the 24th.—
General BERT .RAND, the Emperor's Aid-de-Camp,'
had previously reconnoitred the place. .The can-
non was ready open upon it, and the garrison
began to be alarmed, when Marshal LANNES pro-
posed the capitulaticin subjoined, to be signed by the
Commandant.

" Large magazines of tents, cloathing,, &c. have
been found at Berlin ; we are employed it; taking
inventories.

" A letter from nelmstadt, lately intercepted,
contains .some interesting particulars,.

CRIEFEN FORMLY, a Privy Counsellor M. M.
ReEK, SIEGREN, HERMENSDORI,, Counsellors, sent
as Deputies by the City of Berlin, have this
morning delivered the keys of the place to his
Majesty at Potzdam. They were accompanied
by M. GROOTE, Counsellor of Finance, and the
•B3rOnS VICIINITZ and ECKARLSTEIN. They con-,
tossed the reports spread through the city of..Berlia
were tatse that the citizens „and the mass of the
people had viewed the war with regret ; that a hand-
ful of women and young Officers were the only per-
sons who had promoted it ; that the King was a man
of no penetration, who could not foresee what was' to
be expeaed from it. Like. all the rest of the Prus-
sians, they censured the visit of ALEXANDER as
thecause.of their misfortunes. The change which
then took place in the mind of the. Queen, who,
from a timorous and modest female, engaged in her
household affairs, became bewildered, wishing only
for war; this change, Obey said) bad produced
a.dreaeful, revolution. From that moment she wish-,
ed to bave a regiment. She intruded herself into
the• Council, and took the lead in the Monarchy so
far,' that ill A few days.she brought it to the brink
of destruEtion.
