riages. Some of the regiments of Cavalry have
! gained, in specie and booty, to the amount of seve-

ral hundred thousand crowns.
" Marshal NEY, who was charged with the siege
of Magdeburgh, bombarded that town. A number
of houses were burned, which caused the inhabitants
to murmur greatly; upon which the Commandant

desired to capitulate. A great number of cannon
were found in the Crtress ; extensive magazines ;
15,000 men drafted from more than 70 battalions,
and military chests of several regiments.

" During these important operations several corps
of our Army arrived on the Vistula. The Warsaw
Mail brought many letters from Russia, which, of
course, were intercepted. From these we perceive,
that the fabrications of the English Journals meet
with much credit in Russia. For instance—that
Marshal MASSENA has been killed ; that the city of
Naples was taken and occupied by the Calabrians ;
that the King fled to Rome ; and that the English,
with 5 or 6000 men, were masters of Italy ! How-
ever, a little refle&ion would enable them to dis-
cover the fallacy of these reports. Has not France
increased, not diminished, her military force in
Italy ? The King of Naples is in his capital ; he has
80,000 French troops at his back ; he is master of
the Two Calabrias ; while at Petersburgh they ima-
gine the Calabrians are at Rome ! If a few Galleys,
armed and trained by the infamous SIDNEY SMITU,
the most worthless among the brave English sol-
diers, killed unprote&ed individuals, and massacred
wealthy, unoffending, and, peaceable proprietors—
the gendarmerie and the scaffold have done them
justice ! The English Navy disavows not in the least
the epithet of infamous bestowed upon SIDNEY
SMITH. Generals STUART and Fox, and all the Of-
leers of the Army, are indignant at beholding the
sEnglish name as ociated with such brigands ! The
brave General STUART has even publicly protested
against these outrages—as unavailing with respe& to
their objects, as they are atrocious in themselves,
and which tend to exchanp the noble science and
business of war fora system of robbery and assas-
sination ! But when SIDNEY SMITH was selected to
execute the sanguinary suggestions of the Queen,
we can only perceive in him one of those unprin-
cipled instruments which Governments do often em-
ploy, but whoM they always abandon to that con-
tempt which they are the first to feel for them ! The
Neapolitans will one day be informed in detail of
the letters circulated by SIDNEY SMlTH—the corn,
missions he has authorised—and of the money he
has expended for the execution of atrocities, in which
' he is himself the chief agent.

" We also see, by the letters from St. Petersburgh,
and even in the official dispatches, that they imagine
there are no French'troops in Upper Italy : Thtse
persons, however, ought to be informed, that in-
dependent of the Army of Naples, there are more
than 100,000 French troops in Italy, ready to punish
those Who should dare to attack it. They expca
also every day at St. Petersburgh to hear of the sue,
cesses of the division of Corfu—but, they will short-
ly learn, that the division had scarcely landed at
the Mouths of the Cataro, when they were defeat-
ed by General MAI6IONT, that a part of them have
been captured, and the remainder re-embarked and
fled. It is a very different thing to fight against
French from what it is to engage with the Turks,
whom they hold in fear and partial subje&ion, by
artfully fomenting discord and insurre6tions in the
Provinces. ReSpeeting these, however, the RussianS
are not at a loss for means to shift the opprobrium
from themselves.

" It is declared, by a Decree of the Senate, that at
Austerlitz, it was not the Russians, but their Allies,
who were beaten and should a new battle of AuS-
terlitz take place upon the Vistula, it will even then
be others than the Russians who shall be conquer-
ed ! Although now, as then, their Allies had not a
sufficient number of troops to form a junEtion with
theirs ! The plan of the movements, and chat of
the march of the Russian army, have fallen into
our hands. From these, it is evident, that nothing
can be more ridiculous than the plan of operations
of the Russians, except their vain hopes of success.

General LAGRANGE has been declared Go-
vernor-General of Cassel and' the territories of
Hesse.

" Marshal Moanutt, with the troops under his
command, is on his march for Hanover and for
Hamburgh.
" The King of Holland has blockaded Hameln.

a It is necessary that the present war should be
the last, and that its authors should be severely pu-
nished, in order that those who may hereafter take
up arms against the French People should b,e well
aware of the peril of such undertaking, and of its
inevitable consequences !''
