We this day Continue our attracts. Trot I tii4o ,
German Papers, brought by the lieligoland Mail.
Amongst them are two admirable Proclamations
addressed to the Inhabitants. iirtbe Vorih of Ger-
many by Count Witrteiattb*stwi in the name of
A.Laxiascosa tne titsitasTost, the title iustly
given to the Emperor of, Rossix. WErirorse
tram, himself a German, has spoken to his
countrymen in a language which. cannot fail
to have a decisive effect upon the minds of all
classes and discriptions of tbe natives of Germany.
,Every feeling of patriotism is roused into action
by these animated appeals, which strike upon every
chord of the human heart responsive to the call of
freedom, and all the endearing remembrance: co
nected with the name of country. The title of cone
quetor, disclaimed by the Emperor of Russ lA, is
superseded by the amiable designation of libera-
tor, and in his 'name the GerMitns' are promised
the restoration of their ancient laws and customs
and of their lawful Princes. Let them but he
true to themselves, and let them answer in arms
the call thus made upon their patriotism, and
they must be free. As impossible will it be 'for
the Tyrant of France again to enslave, them as it
bas been for biin to subjugate the Penitrnla.
We rejoice to observe, that wherever there is an
opportunity, the spirit of the people is displayed in
a manner which forcibly indicates the universal
detestation of the French, excited by their cruelty
and oppression. A striking instance of .this has
occurred at Dresden, in the popular commotion
which took place there on the approach of the
Russians. •

In some places whim the•Frencli have a tem-
porary superiority, they endeavour, by the display
of. their Wee, to revive for a time the reign of
terror, and thus, we are informed in private let-
ters, that ST. Ova, who was at the heasi of 4000
men,at Bremen, sent a strong party to Bremerlee,
which: succeeded in defeating the inhabitants arid
the British detachment- there, and that several of
the latter were killed, and the rest made prisoners.
But this event, however much to be regretted,
can have only a trifling effect. The advance of
the united Russian. and Prussian force, aided by
the patriotic spirit of the Germans, cannot be
rhecked by the discomfited eagles of France.---
Events concur in rapid succession to. overwhelm
the last remnant of French oppressioniin Ger.
many, and their irresistible force must bear down
all, opposition.
It will be ,seen that thi'most cordial and inti-
mate union subsists between the Emperor A.a.tp;
ANDER and the King of PitusstA, who had an
interview at Breslau, and their forces are united
as one.

The Declaration of the King of PRUSSIA. against
'mate we have not yet seen; but of the adoption
of die most energetic measures of war by that
Monarch • in conjunction with the Emperor of
RUStiIA, ;here is no doubt.

Since writing the above, the following BuL
letin has been issued

WAR DUARTMENT.

April 8, 1813.

A Dispatch has been received from the Lieute
mutt-Governor of Heligoland, dated the 30th o

March.

It appears that of the detachment of Veterans
sent by Colonel HATAILTON to Cuxhaven, a party
conskting of one lieutenant, three serjeants, and
25 men, had marched to Brernerlee to occupy
the battery at that,place, and to afford some sup-
port to the insurgent, peasantry. The enemy ap-
pears to have collected a force of $ or 6,000, men
at -Bremen, and on the 24th a detachment of
about. -seven, hundred marched rapidly upon
Bremerlee, dispersed the peasants, and forced
the bridge, which was bravely defended by
part of the Ist Veteran Battalion, under
Lieutenant lizAtmxr.srca. This officer, with
tnelve or fourteen of his men, were killed. The
env:ll37.lm) attacked the battery where the rest
of thu Veterans, and a body of peasants, were
stationed. These people capitulated, in the hope
of saving their- lives. Th`e French spared six
,Or
evert of the British veterans, but massacred every
one of the peasants. They then pillaged the
town, mill ret aimed hastily to Bremen.
'l7:)e Frenph sustained some loss in forcing the
f ridge, and 2.1 of the Nreteratv, and about as many.
al 'be I.iCa.4ikras, were lost inithis affair.

'l"h sippear to have poshed some Cosi-
sacks, tQWAr6 111Anntniees- and it' waii reported that
Count WITTGENsTEN had ermtied the I.tbe

force,

It is hot our business to enter into tiq disoites
between the ilforningehronicle awl any other Jour,
nal,except da points in which that Paper betrays a
readiness to give credit to any , reports injurions
to the British Government, The assertion madeby
the French Usurper, that the Departments of the
Elbe and Weser have been offered to Denmark for
the loss of Norway, seemed to be received by the
catoide as matter .of fact, though indeed it called
on Ministers to justify themselves from so foul a
charge. This call implied, that the Chronicle, ever
ready to believe any thing against Ministers,
without hesitation, considered them as concerned
in such an arrangement, utter) y ignorant, whether
in fact it-had any existence. Yesterday, because
an Evening Paper of flie.night before, denied that
such an offer had heeji intitleto:Denniark, the Chro-
nicle coolly said, "40- favivell,"--adding, however,
they do'not denlr.the shameful compromise
With KERNADOTTE, for the purchase of hiS.services
Wy the dismemberment of Norway friAuthe Crown
of Denmark. ,It is three weeks stisce we first an 7.
nou laced this Frenchiliedtransaction; and wcare war-
ranted irt, believing it true, from its not having re.
ceived the slightest contradiction. " Does the Chro.
nick then think it necessary that Ministers should
alwayseome,forward in order to contradict lie as-
sertiono4—crrance, or to detect the artifices of the
Opposition ? It is enough that theyattend
to the businesscof the pation, and endeavour, by
the policy of their measures, to baffle ;the malice
of their enemies', and :support the honour acrd in-
terest of the Empire.
