FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

MirdEL, I‘B. 19.—We have been for some timi.
under no small anxiety, because the fate of arm;
depended upon the issue of a battle, which, if it hall
,been lost to us, would have opened a, wide field to
•
the
French, and extended their victorious arms stilt'
• •
forther ; for• there was not a.single point upon which
• •• • • •
the Missians could bave retired with safety—a situa-
tionthe more critical, as the Russian army was only.
70,000 stronj. It has since received -a reinforce-
.• • ~ • „.
ment of 613,000 men, and, besides these, we have,
lately seen thirty Pulls of Cossacks pass throUth this
place, each P.ulk consisting o• 500 men.

The armies have beeu taught to know each other
at the 'Attie of Eylau, and to do justice to each '
other's val Out. - The Russians confes-s th6y are un-
der great obligations to thc..--hrayePeneral LESZOC2,
who was at the head, of 12,000 Prussians; and op-
posed the most determined resistance to Marshal
wa's charged to turn the Prussian wing.
The loss of the Rnislans is very considerable, parti•
cularly in Officers ; 'that of the enemy is greater.
According to the report of General ESSEN, the Em-
peror NAPOLEON :§ Guard. suffered considerably.

We flattered ourselves for some time, that a
tle So bloody would have bran decisive, and have led
to negotiations for peace. In faft, a French Officer.,
*llO is said to be a -Gen. BERTRAND, did arrive here
an the 17th, With proposals for peace, but we -art
certain thathe returned yesterday, \vithout being able;
to effe& it; Blood must-therefore again be shed,; but
for otar great tranquillity*, these bloody scenes 1:,• 1
not take place upon the territory where the armies are
to timraintrated3*since, according to every-aCcOun',
the-fail4e of provisions increases :e...ery, diiv to such
a'degree; that people have been compelled to strip
the-straw from the roofs of the peasants' c:Atages to
feed the horses with. We therefore hope the theatre
of war will be removed from our environs.

BAMBERGi MARCH 8.

(EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED FASSENHEIM,
FEBRUARY 14.)

Our departure from the Vistula for Old,Prussia
was so precipitate, that we marched 100 Miles in
five clays and a half. The soldiers have as%nished
every one by the fortitude with which they hpve
supported the forced marches which they daily
Made. Upwards of two thirds of the Inhabitants
have abandoned their habitations. Four regiments
of infantry were quartered here during, four days,
besides a Marshal and ten Generals. Among the
few inhabitants who remained, we could find
neither bread, flour, or; ,any thing to eat or drin,l,-..
You may \veil conceive, that we ire not in the
midst of plenty, particularly as the convoys of bis-
cuit. and other provisions cannot be brought without
great difficulty. The army quitted Polat:,l with very
great satisfa6tion."
