The Commander in Chief of the Armies, Field-

Nerisko, has transmitted to his Imperial Majesty
the following Report froni Head-quarters, at the
village of Meretsch, date'l 29th December (10th
Jan.)

" L have the happiness of most submissively
informing. your Imperial ANcsty, that, previously
to our taking possession of the city of Konigs-
berg, the van-guar': of General Count WirroE sr.
STEIN, under the corntrhind- of Major-general
SCHEPELEW, whilst continuing to pursue the ene-
my from Tilsit, came up with him on the 23d inst.
(4th Jan.) near Lobraw.

" The enemy had here taken a very advanta-
tageouaposition, and the engagemott, in which
he lost three cannon, and 300 men of the lower
ranks, continued half a day. After that the ene,
my was completely beaten, he commenced his re.
ttcat to Konigsberg, Major-General ScHErELEw
seized on this opportunity, drove the enemy air:
Cermun miles before him, and forced himself on
their shoulders into Konigsberg, which was taken
possession of by our, troops at two o'clock, after
midnight, an the 25th .1) ec. (6th Jan) :-1300
man were made prisoners in the city itself,
"'rhe enemy retreated with such haste, that Ile
threw 30 pieces of artillery with the cartridge
bOxes into the Over, and lett behind him. 8,000
men, who were wearied out, and who were made
prisoners by our troops.' Very considerable quan-
tities if provisions and foroge have fallen into our
hands at Konigsberg, The gum which were
thrown into the water are of the number of those
which were in CourLand, and are now drawn out
again by the inhabitants.
" This success, although of so much conse-
(titmice, has nevertheless not. detained Alajor-Ge-
octal SCOXITUIT in thc,further pursuit of the
enemy.

" General Count VIT` C;ENSTEIN attributei it to
the wise ITieRSUreS of General yeitErELEvp, his dis,
patch and "determined bravery."

Pads Papers to the 9.oth instant reached town
la:4 night. They'contain very little of import-
ance not a word is ineiltioned respecting the
Expose, and the state of the' French troops at
, -
Posen is passed over in silence,
From Vienna, the State Prisoner is mysteriously
mentioned, but no hint, is given of his title or
rank.

Connt GorronP, tile' Ex-King o Sweden, has
married, in Switzerland, a young woman of iiutu•
ble station, resident at .Basle.

We mentioned yesterday the expected departure
of a Gentleman for Russia, upon a cqnfidential
, -
mission of importance, stared to
be the Count Pt LA FEngtiAYE, Frcrio Nal le-
man, Ivho, gntainted by the revoluticoary doc.
trines of his country', and oninhkhred ley totsfor-
tune, has preserved his fidelity to his rightful
Sovereign.

As we have too often lied occasi'm to object to
•
the political conduct of Sir FRANCIS 111.11;rnrr,
we readily avail out elves of the opportunity af-
forded last night of bearing testimony to the tem-.
rr, moderation, and' candour 'with which he
brought forward and supported his motion in
the House of Commons, for leave to bring
in a Bill -Ito provide against any interrup-
tion in the exercise of the Royal Autho-
rity, in case of the death of his Royal High-
ness the PRINeR RRGRNT during the continuance
of his i‘lajesty's indisposition. We need not
enter into any observations on the subject of
this motion, as it was ably discussed, and
die arguments of the Honourable Baronet
were forcibly contbated. Perhaps this change in
the temper of the Baronet may be ascribed to the
loss of his old political tutor; for we can assert,
upon indisplitable atithdrity„ that Mr. Fox had
often said, that he knew when the Baronet had
been at Wimbledon, as be always returned as if
Ire had been "heated in a political furnace, and
it was generally a folt fortnight before he could
be cooled to the temper of the British Consti-
tution."
