PROCLAMATION,

tONCRII/iING'THE ABOLISHING SEVERAL ABUSES

IN ARMIES

In consequence of the unfortunate and almost to-
tal dissolution of several corps of the army, sent into
the field against the. French, it has been impOssible
for his Prussian Majesty, on account of a total want
authentic information, to diStinguish truth from
falsehood, rumours from 'faas, to reward merit,
Or to infli& punishment. His Majesty therefore
Must Postpone drawing any conclusions until that pe-
"°d, when. his Majesty shall be enabled to do so with
more certainty and precision. His Majesty is far
from ascribing to his braVe armies all the calamities
and misfortunes which he himself and his dominions
have experienced. It is, on the contrary, very -sa-
I-isfactory to his Majesty that many of his soldiers,
front the highest to the lowest rank, have distin-
guished themselves by a steady courage, continued
perseverance, and a true sense of honour. But, un-
lyrtithately, instances have occurred (roved by
facts that speak for themselves) of such a .nature
ot.to be passed over any. longer in silence : on the
r"ntrary, -they ought most severely and most pt;b-
-,iclY to be animadverted on as an example for -the
...kmougit those whose conduct is most
highly reprehensible are—
t; !St. All those Officers who have more orless par-
ticipated in the unheard-of condo& of-the surrender
o the Enemy of the Fortresses of Stettin, Custrin,
Pa. ndau, pnd Magdeburgh.
All those Officers who, not being present at the
eaciptattib' of their. respective Corps, nevertheless-
in offered th-mselves voluntarily to surrender, as he-
w-3'1,1N to such Corps. nay,. even persnaded their
'`nrades their subalterns to take a similar scan-•
(Lions resolution.

31 Lastly. all who, without having received'
'4ny furldugh., or having been made prisoners, nave
absented thems,-lves from the armies, and went,
either hOftie or elsewhere, &c.
in consequence of which his Majesty has, for the
present, clismiss-d his service; with 'disgrace, for
.enver, the Major atid Commandant. at Erfurth,. Vox-
4-ItuscitaNcK, because, though the city, of Erfurth
turrendered, there was no necessity to deliver up the
'forts of Petersberg and Cirianburg, the Com...
Ilandani had taken the' necessary precautions. At
Stettin, the Lieutenant-General . and Governor,
,„°ll Itctiuuat, is cashiered, as well as the Major-,
'General Von KNO 913 olt FT. Major7General Von
lAveR -aS•C'erriluander in Second, is i.tanissed with
%cilracei-and for ever.
Major- and Fort Engineer of Stettin, Von
'IA,RENIkERG, is broke. "
in Oustrin, the Colonel and Commander, von..
'l7,,trt..QsaErl,' is condemned to be shot. -
4, in S'pandau, the Major and Commander, Von:
•L'ENztEi.:nottFF, is dismissed with disgrace.
Magdeburgh, the General of Infantry, Von
'LEIst, and the Commander, Colonel DE I'ROS SEL,
are dismissed with disgrace.
ts. Al! the remaining Generals who were at Magde-
'urigh at the time, and who, in the Coun6l ofWar,
,Voted for the surrender of the fortress, are likewise
dismissed with disgrace ; as also alllhose Officers
who have signed any of the above-mentioned capi-
tulations.
tx,:`llY-, All the Officers of the corps of HOHENLO#E,
1. bblonged to it at the affairs of Pasenwalk and
rentz.low, who arrived at Stettin before the capi-
tulation of that .place, and who joined those who
were included in the capitulation, are also dismissed
e service for ever. All Officers who, previous to
"therb capitulation 'concluded at Anclam, had passed
t town, but returned,in order to surrender them-
-e'ves Prisoners, are also dismissed the service
3dlyf All Officers who during the retreat of their
corps left them without having a furlough, or with 7
out halting been taken prisoners, and shall have re
-
tithed home or elsewhere ; alkali Officers not be-
longing to any corps that was obliged to capitulate,
and who have gone over to the enemy , in order to
get passports that they might return home without
molestation, are all dismissed the service for ever.

Fuitber, his Majesty reserves to himself to bring
to account all those Officers, high and low, particu-
larly those in the Commissary Department, whose
action's Still remain* doubtful, or who, in the eyes of
the army have shown themselves unworthy of the
trust 'reposed in. them 5 and, 'if upon the 'future in.;
Testigation of their conduct, the above stated facts.
are found 'to be more criminal than the. 'present ap-
pear, then, and in that case, the punishment will
ut pfoportionably severe ; but in ,order to prevent
futuile dereliction from duty his Majesty has thought
Proper to publish the following Ordinances :
1. All Governors and Comthandants who in future.

of a want of the necessary requisites 'for supporting a
or under any groundless pretence whatever,

itb whatever resources they possess, the fortresses
entrusted to, their charge, shall be shot without any
Xvery Commander or Governor of Fortresses who
Straii consent to any secret articles (in the capitula-.
i°ll which the Enemy may force them to conclude),

jesty, shall be cashiered and drafted into other regi-
intim s.

3. Every Officer who in future shall be guilty of
the rnifidemeatiours first above described in Nos. 2
And. 3, or shall leave the field of battle without
being wounded, shall be. cashiertd with infamy;
each soldier who in running away throws away his
amts, shall be immediktely shot.
4. Every Officer who shall meet with any dis-
Persed soldiers shall rally them, and lead them to
_ !be first corps, or to another place of rendezvous.--7
If he does not perform this duty he shall be-ac-
euuntable for his condua:
• 3. The regimental and company Surgeons are to
14 as near their respe6tive corps on the day of battle
al possible, and they must be provided with all the
rttluisites of their profession, under pain -of being
saiAmissed with disgrace.

• Whoecttr wantonly fires a musket to create a false
alarm, shall be immediately shot. .
Any waggon-driver who shall unyoke his horses
frorn his 'waggon,'in order to run away with them,

produce a serious alteration in the Commissary De.-
partment of the Army, the plan of •reform to be
adopted shall be communicated as soon as possible
to the different corps.
7. On any upfdreseen occurrences, for example,
on extraordinary fir ced marches, retreats, every
Commanding Officer of a Corps shall be entitled to
make a requisition upon the inhabitants for the ne-
cessary quantity of provisions and forage for the men
and horses under his command, giving
.his receipt
for the same ; but if be exceeds the necessary quall.
tity in his requisition, he shall be shot.

8. The Officers of the General Staff, with their
Adjutants, are to take charge of condu6ting the
several corps, and are never to leave their respe&ive
commands. 'The pioneers are to be at the head of
each column, that they may be ready to repair the
roads or to cut out new Cocamunications.. The Offi-
cer's of the General- Staff must take care of every
thing that can facilitate or accelerate the march of
the respe&ive corps. If the army, is to form before
the enemy„ those Officers must reconnoitre and dis-
cover the best ways of retreat, as also carefully mark
out the ground.
9.- As ,long as -the war continues, the subalterns as
well as the privates, if they distinguish themselves
for courage and presence 'of mind, shall be equally

gitished himself and dies in the field of battle. shall
"'receive a pension 'proportionate to the rank of her

. "1. i . Jr is hardly necessary to say that every a& of
insubordination is tuverely punishable: Every onp
is already well acquainted with the regulations of the.'

FIZEDEaICK WILLIAM.

HAMBURGII, DEC. IB.—General KAMINSKOY was
Marching at the headlifBo,ooo men against Turkey;
when, being informed of the renewal of the Treaty
between Russia and the Porte, be immediately pro-
ceeded and put himself at the head of the Russian
Grand Army in Poland, which he reached on the
sth. instant.

Letters from Dresden of the 21st instant state,
that a division of the Saxon Army, amounting to
about 6000 men, is ordered to march to Poland on
the 6tb of January ; and that the remainder of the
contingent, amounting to 20,000 men, is to be'
speedily completed, and the whole Army will be
newly Organiied. Lieut. Colonel THAIRD is to or-:
ganize the Saxon Army, and to ratify the Treaty
in the name of NAPOLEON. The same Officer is
French Commandant. of Dresden.—The French
Army in Poland, or on the march for that country,
is now rated .at 300,000 men. ,
Private letters from Lemberg, of the 11 th inst.
state, that 67,000 Russians crossed the Dniester on
the 26th ult. and entered the 'distria of Soroka,.,in
Moldavia. They detached 2000 men to ChocziM,
and 24,000 to Jassy.
30,:—BONAPARTE, in his conversation with
the Deputies of this city, made several violent sal-
lies against Great Britain ; and, among other things,
is reported to have said—" I hate the English, and
the more I can injure them the happier shall I be !"
It is hinted in a popular French Journal, that the
three Hanse Towns Will have to pay a forced loan of
30,000;000 offrancs—out of which Hamburgh alone
is to cptribute -15 millions.
Private letters froze Naples, of the sth bf Decem-
ber, mention General BatoNiErt's having defeat-
ed an '.Angld-iciiiau corps, near Scylla, in the
attempt to cross over to Sicily. They amounted to
between two and three thousand men.

The white- flux continues to rage among the
French Army in Poland, besides another shocking
disorder .called the Vistula-queues (Plica Polonica).
In the latter purulent matter flows out of the end
of every hair on'the head, and , the hairs swell and
grow to the middle of the body In the form of
queues. The disease is almost incurable. The,
body of the patient is also in general covered with a
leprous eruption. The Faculty of Medicine at Vi-
enna having been- consulted about . the best method
of curing the white flux, have returned for answer,
that the patient must eat very strengthening food,
and drink choice white wine.--The Emperor of
Austria has, it is said, offered 14,300 barrels Of Hun-,
garian wine for the relief of the French sick.

EIGHT P. 111,—It. is now strongly reported, that
the French have !Drell defeated by the Russians on
the Narew.

Friday night, as Mr. Richard BiShop, of Birdlip,
Gloucester and Cirencester carrier, was returning
home from the latter place, his horse fell with him,
and he was killed on the spot. The animal coming
home about midnight ‘‘ithout his :poster, the thinly

ot..ti of our Monarchs of the realms offashion in
this Owe, the KING Of the Upper Rooms, had his
Bali on Monday last. It was thronged with visi-
t.ds ; a circumstance that was to be expgaed, 'as
he b6rs his faculties •so meekly," all is-much
esteemed for his conduct, public and pridite. The
-country dancing began soon after seven, and went off
with great spitit ; but when the Tea-room opelied,
r`then was the` tug of war," as such a struggle was
haruTi ever seen on a similar occasion. The dresses
of the Ladies .Were terribly ravaged in this, general
effort to. obtain refreshments, and if squeezing be a
fashionable:enjoyment, most of the company must
have been abundantly gratified. • When the dancing
re-commenced, the Tea-room 'reSenibled a field-of,
battle after an aetion, as the various decorations of
.etnale attire, fiis, bracelets, combs, feathers, rings,
&c. &c. Ste. were scattered •in all dire&ions. The
company.amounted to near two thousand persons.
