FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.

They write from Lunenburoh, that the , Prus
\sian corps under General-LEcoa has crossed the
Elbe a few leagues fi um that town, -without having
encountered the French. The General proposes
to march along the coasts of the Baltic to Col-
berg ; but he will find it difficult to effea -it.—
The garrison of Magdeburgh made a sortie on the
25th of October; but they Were speedily driven
back. The report of the surrender of this place is
premature.
There is nothing to oppose the progress of the
French in Silesia. In this extensive province' We
are assured there are not
,more than five or six
thosuand Prussian troops ; there ark no depiits ; and
the two fortresses of Schweidnitz and` Glatz -are
destitute of every thing ; so they cannot pos4ibly
hold out.
Letters from Harnburgh mention, that the Prince
PAUL, second sett of the King of WitztEmßuttcti,
Who quitted the of his father to enter into
the service Of Prussia, under the auspices Ofrthe
Duke of BRUt4SWICK, his near maternal relative,
had recently passed through that city. Among' the
regrets which accompanied the, last moments of the
-Duke of BruNswlckt, Was, doubtless, the reflet-
lion of having instigated a young Prince, over Whom'
lie possesSed 'an.' ascendancy, •to take arms against
his father..

" The conduet of the English excites my indig- •
nation, particularly at the moment when every
thing seems to indicate that our differences will be
,adjusted, in consequence of M. JAcosexarrival in
London. One would think that justice was banish-,
ed out of the-world. In the mean while, what can
be said.? The English have -at , all times enriched
themselves by plunder ; they will be thieves and
pirates as long as the world stands. People here,
however, wish to make us believe, that we shall
be -indemnified by Government; but we should be
simpletons to believe it. Right would indeed de-
mand it ; but since our Government puts up with
such conu6l, the English will never alter, and we
shall be brought to beggary. Even now, while thn
thieves take what they like from us, they pretend
to have a great respeet for our Sovereign ; but this
is only because he is marching against the French ;
and even on this account, as well as the present
subjea of our complaint, we shall be the greatest
lOsers. All our misfortunes-come upon us at once.

QUEEN-SQUARE.—Yesterday eight boys, the old-
est not t 5 years of age, part of a•ga,ng of 50 lads,-
were apprehended and examined, being charged.
with stealing a great number of articles of brass,
iron, lead, and solder. Alex. Dallas, constable of
the pariah of Saint Martin's, stated, • that a wo-,
man of .the name of Davison, in Swan-yard,H
Drury-lane, kept a lodging-house for the reception
of such boys, without any other accommodation
than straw to lay upon. Stich of them as brought
no stolen property with them; were turned out of
doors; with scarce any covering upon them. A
woman of .the name of Horn, in Short's Gardens,
Drury-lane, used to buy the stolen goods from Da
visor', which she resold to a roan of the name cif
Fisher, in St. Giles's. These three persons are held
in custody. While the above constable, with two
other' Officers,
_were in the shop of Fisher, a brick-
layer's labourer entered' the shop, and offered three
pieces...of lead for sale to .one of. the Offiders, con-
ceiving him - the master.of,the shop, and told
where he 'had filched them, when he was likewise
taken into custody; and brotight to this Offiee.---
They, were all committed for 're-examination.
The boys were intended to be sent to the Marine
Society.
