THIRTEENTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND
ARMY.

HALLE, OCT. 20.—General MACON; Com-
mandant at Leipsic, has made to the bankers, mer-
chants, and traders of that city, the subjoined Noti-
fication. " Since the Tyrant of the Sias will not
respeal any Flag, it is the intention' of the Emperor
to seize every where their, merchandize, and strictly
to block them 'up in their Island." There were
found in the 'Military magazines of Le;psic 15,000
quintals of meal, and a great quantity of other spe-
cies of provisions.

The Grand Duke of BERG arrived at Halber-
stadt on the 1 eth. On the Moth be inundated the
whole plain-of Magdeburgh with his Cavalry, even
to the mouth 91 the cannon. The Enemy's troops,
consisting of 'isolated detachments, were taken at
the moment when they were endeavouring to en-
teF the place. A Regiment of the .Enemy's Hus-
sars, believing that Halberstadt was still occupied by
Prussians, were charged by the 22d Kussars, and lost
300 men,
".General BEAUMONT has taken 600 men of the
King's Guard, and all the equipage of that corps.
Two hours before, two companies of the Royal
Foot Guards were take by Marshal SouLT. I.,ieut.
General Count DE SCIIMETTAU,Who had been taken
prisoner, has died at Weimar: •
Thus of this superb Army, which a few days
since threatened to invade the confederation of the
pdtine, and which inspired its Sovereign with Bach
confidence, that he dared to order the Emperor
NAPOLEON to quit Germany before the Bth of Oc-
tober, if he did not wish to he constrained by force-;
. of this superb Army, we say, there remains nothing
but the wreck—rap unformed chaos, which merits
• rather the name'of a mob. than hat of an Army.
Of 160,000 men, , whom the King of Prussia had,
it would be difficult to unite More than 59,000, and
those without artillery 'and without baggage, partly
armed and partly, disarmed. All these events jtis-
tify what the Emperor said in his first Proclamal
tion, in which he expressed himself thus :—" Let
them learn, that although it is easy to -acquire•an
in-
crease of dominion and of power by means of the
friendship of a great people, its enmity is more ter-
Obit! than the tempests of the ocean."
". Nothing, 'indeed, resembles more the present
state of the Prussian Army , than a shipwreck. It
-was a fine iißd numerous Fleet, which pretended to
Utithing less than to sweep, the .seas;, but the it'll-
p4tnous north wind has raised the ocean, against it.
:There only returns to, port a small part of the crews,
who have only found -security by saving themselves
upott•the wreck. The subjoined letters truly de,
piet the situation of affairs. Another letter, abo
subjoined, chews in what respe& the Prussian Cabi-
'pet Was duped by false appearances. It took the
moderation of the Emperor NAPOLEON for weak-
ness. Because that Monarch did not wish for war,
and did every' thing that could be' suitably doni to
*avoid it, it was concluded that he was not prepared,
and that he wanted 200,000 conscripts to recruit
his Army.
• " The French Army; however, was na longer
cooped up in the camps of Boulogne—it was in
Germany ;:and M. CHARLES L. DE tIESSE, and
D'l-140cW174, might have counted It. We
Tecogni4e,.therefore, the will of that Providence,
which leaves riot to our Enemies' eyes to see, ears
to, hear, or judgmeot or reason to guide . their
conduat. •

• "it appears that M, CHARLES L. Da 1-4 SSE
only coveted Mayence. Why not Metz ? Why
not the other places to the Easiof France ? us,
then, no longer, • that the ambition of the French
forced you to take Up. arms ; confess that it was your
own ill-judged ambition that has excited you to
war. Whilst there was a French Army in Naples,
and another iu nalmatia.„ you projeEted to fall upon
the great people ; but ict seven days your projects'
have been coutbunded. You wished to attack
'France without running any risk, and already you.
hfie ceased. to exist.

It is Stated that the ;Emperor NAPOLEON,
having, before he quitted Paris, assembled his Mi.=
nisterS, said, to them," I am innocent of this war;
I have done,nothing to provoke it ; it did not entcr
into my calculatiOns. Let: tne.be defeated if it is
of my *making. One of the principal motives of
the confidence which I have that my enemies Will
be destroyed, is, that I see in tlreirconduCt the ringer
of Providence,. who, wishing that traitor& may be
punished, has so far set aside all wisdom in their
Councils, that when they design to attack me at the
moment of 'weakness, they chose t.t.w very instant
'when I am, strongest."

" Quedlinburgh O. !9, zBo6, eight in the morning,
" MADAME—Your Royal Highness will haveseen
by the letter which my wife had the honour to ad=
dress to your to what extent the commencement of
the war has been disastrous. I could add many
traits to this Sorrowful picture ,- but it is sufficient
to apply the words of Famwrs I.—that every thing
is lost but honour; for the troops have well done
their duty. As to That regards the situation of this
quarter, I can only speak of mine, Wkicla is dreadful;
we exped. the French here every moment.
‘‘. Yesterday and last night the rear-guard, corn-
manded Jay Prince HOIIENLOHE, accompanied by
M. DE TATTEIsTZIEN, had their head-quarters in the,
town ; they proceed to Magdeburgh, where thia
Wreck of the Army is assembling. Since the de-
parture of the last Courier, the panic, andtite pas-,
sage'-of troops and baggage, has. not failed to spread
the alarm. The troops and baggage arrive helt4.
skelter—=this cuts me to the heart".

This morning, 'at three, the signal of departure
was given, in consequence of a report absolutely false,
for it was said that the French would arrive in three
hu'urs, and that they had burnt several villages qt
crartz„, which the reporter said he had seen burnt.

" In spite of the authenticity which this report
appeared to derive, I was not able to see the least
trace of fire on rising, and at the hour stated we saw
nothing of any French troops. It is certain, -how.
ever, that they followed the rear guard very closely;
for the day before yesterday, in the evening, Gen.
BLUCHER' -had an euVgemeht with the French, near
Nordhausen, but he was repulsed. flow pinch the
retreat has been precipitated, and how considerable,
the hiss of baggage has been, your Royal Highness
will be'enabled'to Judge,' since neither Prince Ho.
lIENLOIIA nor my brother-in-Iaw,TAUENZIN, have
undressed' fig eight days, or changed the shirts with
which I furnished them, they having lost thei;
baggage.

He passed the night before last at Ballenstadt, from
thence he was carried, by, the way of Neustadt and
Whale, to Blankenburgh„ from whence he Was tci,
set out yesterday on the road to licupswick. Great
God ! i this Prince had but bounded his desires to
the making his people happy !,-.--According to what
is stated by the Prussian 0111CCFS: of the Staff, Fieldl
IViarshat Mo4ll,4tiLlotip and the Prince of ORANog,
were at Erfurth when the capitulation, took place.
It is said also, that on a proposition, being made for
an armistice, the Emperor NAPOLEON replied,, that
he would sign the Peace at Dresden and Berlin.. •
" The refledions which all these events give rises
to immediately present themselves -- the conse-,'
quences are incalculable: For my part,. I feel that
1 am about to become the most unfortunate of men iA
but the hope supports me that your Royal HiOnes4
will not abandon a faithful servant. '

" I have written a letter to the French General,,
which DUBS will convey to him as soon as, the
French shall arrive. I claim his protection for the
Abbey in general, and for the rqsidence, the dornaha,,,
and, the House of Goetm I demand a sateguard.

but also that ofGeneral RUCHEL.. A, Prussian Ge-,

King was for some days Much alarmed. The French
artillery has done us much damage."
