" Prince JEROME having discovered that
outworki of Neisse, alongside, the -Bielau,' impede I
the progress•of the siege, ordered Gen. 'AND MM
-to' occupy them. In the night -fropllo aoth of
April to he Ist of May, this General, at the. head
of the Wurtemburgh troops, took.t he said works,
put the enemy's troops by whom they were defend-
ed'to the sword, took I'2o 'prisoners, and 9 piec(s
of cannon. The.' Captains of :Engineers, I)Erox-
THOU and PROS.T, were at the bead of the columns,
and'gave strong proofs of bravery.- The Lieutenants
HOHENDOEFF,` RAWER, and MUMMA, 'distiagfaisli:
ed themselves in a;particular manner.

'c On the 2d of May, Lieutenant-General CAM-
RER took the command- of the Wurtemburgh

vision.

",It seems, that a Grand Council of War Was held
at Bartenstein, since the arrival in the Camp of 'the.
Emperor ALEXANDER, at which the King of .Prus-
sia and the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE asilsted ;
that the dangerous situation of the city of Datuzic
was the subjed of the deliberations of the said Coon;
cil,and that irw,as found, Dantzic could only be re-
lieved in two ways; first, by attacking the French,
army, to cross the Passarge, and to Like the chance
of a general engagement, the result of w‘.hich,(pro-
iided any advantage was obtalned) would be, to
compel the French army to raise the siege of
.Dant-
zic; the second,' to throw succours into nantzic
frOtn'tlrt'sea-:;side. It Seems that tl?e 'first plan was
deemed impradicable,- unless the. enemy Would ex-
pOse hiMself to: be.completely defeated and routed.
It was-therefore resaVed to confine theMselves to
the other plan, of relieving Dantzic by water. .

ff " In consequence thereof, Lieutenant-G4ierill
kAmiNskoi; son,Of the Field Marshal, embarfiel at
Palau, with two 11uSsian.divisiOni, 'formed of twelve
regiments, and several, Prussian Regiments. On

. .
the 12th; the troops were landed from 'sixty-six
transports, under convoy of three frigate's, in Cie
port of DantzTo, under the protection of the Fort of
Weichsehmtnde:'

" The EnVeror iminediately ordered Mari!,al.
LAsNEs, who corm-hands thelleserve of the Grind
Army,..tO advance from Marierstburgh (where Iq3
had his head-quaiiers), with the division of Gel:o-
-ral OUDIOT, to' rehiforce the army of Marshal i,1,:-
FEBIRE. 'He arrived, after an tin'ihterrupted nrarcil,
at the very niOkhent when the.onemy' troops were

landing.

" On the
.t 3th and 1 .4th-the enemfmade prepara-
tions for the attack." .Thy were separated from the
town by the distanCe of somewhat less than (JUL:
league, hitt that part ~vas occupied_ by FrenCh trOdp.
On the 15th, the enemy advanced frcim the -fort in
three colUtnns,:,.vith intention to penetrate to'thq
. .
town along the right bank of the Vistula. • The
neral of Brigade ScEIIANIN-I(WlO`waS.at. the advan%-d,
posts with the ;9,d regiment of light infantry, and one
battalion of Saxons and Poles), received the" first fire,
.andyoSisfed the enemy at the distance of cannon shot

" Marshal LEFEBVRE had repaired io.'th'e bridge
which is situated below on, the Vistvla,, and ordered
the 12th,regiment.of. liAht infantry, together with
the Saxons, to cross over that way, to support Ge-
neral Scuatimit. General G.ARPANNE, who
charged with the defence of the right bank of the
Vistula, also pressed that wan with the. rest ;of his
troops. The enemy was superior., in numbers, and
the contest was continued with, equal, obstinacy.
Marshal LASNES, with the reserve of OurnKor, was
placed on the left bank of the Vistula, where it 'at as
expeaed ;he day before that, the enemy would make
his appeadnce; but when Marshal I,As,tEs saw the
movements of the,enemy disclosed, he crossed the
Vistula With four battalions of G,!neralOon,rNo-c's
reserve. The whole of the enemy's line and resery -e
were thrown into, confusion, and purstied,_to the
palisadoes, and at nine in the morning,th.e enemy was
shut up in the fort of Weichselmunde. The field of
battle was strewed with dead bodies. Our loss con-
sists of 25 killed, and 200 wounded. The enem‘ 's
loss is goo killed, 1500 woundedi land 200 taken.'
In the evening we could dktinguish a. number
of wOunded, which were embarking On board
the- vessels, the latter
.sheered off successively to
return to. Konigsburgb., From
.the, town no sally
was made &ring this affair, and no
_more w
done, from that quarter than to supportthe•R.l;-
. .
sians with a heavy cannonade. , Tbe.eneray,‘fr.:Lii

the height of his demolished and almost destroyed
ramparts, was witness to the whole anion. He was
dejettk d, on seeing the hopes vanishing which he had
formed of receiving succour. General OUDINOT has
killed three Russians with his own hand. Many
Officers of his Staff are wounded. - The 12th and the
2d regiment of light infantry have distinguished
themselves. The particulars of this at tion were not
yet received at head-quarters.
" It will appear from the journal of the siege of
Dautzic, thaLthe works are carried, on with equal
a&ivity, that the covered way is completed; and that
we, are occupied with preparations for passing the
ditch.
‘f As soon as the enemy knew that this maritime
expedition had arrived before Dantzic his, light
troops began to reconnoitre and alarm the whole,
line, from the position occupied by Marshal SOULT,
on the Passarge, to that of General MoRAN-p, upon

the Alle. They were received at the mouth of the
musket by the Voltigeurs, lost a considerable num-
ber of men, and , retired with more precipitation

than they came.
" The Russians also presented themselves at
Malga, before Gen.' ZAYONOIisEK, the Commandant
of the Polish Corps of Observation, and carried off
one of his posts.. The General of Brigade FISCHER
put sued, routed t hem, and killed 60 men, one Colonel,
and two Captains. They likewise presented them-
selves before the sth Corps, and insulted Gen .GA zAA's
advanced posts atWillenburgh. This General piirsned
them several league'. But they made a more serious
attack upon the bridge of Omelaw at Drenzewo. The
General of Brigade GIRARD marched against them
with the 88th, and drove them into the Narew.
General SucuET arrived, pursued the Russians
closely, and defeated them at Ostrolenka, where be
killed sixty men, and took fifty horses. LAURIN,
Captain of the 64th, who commanded a head-guard,
surrounded on all sides by the Cossacks, made the
best resistance,' and deserves to be distinguished.
Marshal MAssENA, at the head of a brigade of Ba-
varians, had reason to be satisfied with the zeal and
good behaviour of the, troops.
"'On the same' day, the 13th, the enemy attack-
ed General LEMARROIS, at the mouth of the Bug.—
This General had passed that river on the 10th, with
a Bavarian Brigade, and a Polish regiment, who, in
the course of three days, had constru&ed seveeal
totes-du-pont, and had advanced to Wiskowo, with
the intention of burning the rafts which the enemy
had been at work upon 'during six weeks. This
expedition completely succee&d, and the ridiculous'
work of six weeks was destroyed in a moment.
On the 13th, at nine, in the morning, 6,000
Russians arrived at Nar, and attacked General LE-
MARROIS in his entrenched camp. As soon as the
General saw that the enemy, who was upon the
bordlers of :the ditch, was repulsed,. he made a sortie,
and pursued hiM sword in hand. The Colonel. of
the 4th Bavarians,ia brave soldier, was killed. He
is universally regretted. The Bavarians lost 20 men,
and had 60 wounded.
" All the army is encamped in divisions of square
battalions, in very wholesome situations. These
affairs of advanced posts have not occasioned any
movement in the army. Every thing is quiet at the
head-quarterS. This general attack upon our ad-
vanced posts seems to have h'd no other obje& than
to occupy the French army, so as to prevent them
from reinforcing the troops employed in the siege of
Dantzic. •

The hope of succouring Dantzic, by means of
a maritime expedition, appears very extraordinary
to well-informed military men,' acquainted with the
ground and the position occupied by the French

army.
" The leaves begin to appear; and the season
resembles the month of April in France."

SEVENTY-1II•TH BULLETIN.

FINCKENSTEIN, MAY 18.—The following are
further particulars relative to the affair of the 15th,
Marshal LEFEBVRE makes a very favourable report
of General SCHRAMA4, to -*horn he, in a great mea-
sure, imputes the favourable issue of the affair. of
Weichselniunde.

" On the morning of the 15th, at two o'clock,
General SCIIRAM AI had formed in order of battle, co-
vered by two redoubts thrown up opposite the fort
of Weichselmunde. He had the POles on the left,
the Saxons in the cen tie, and the regiment of Paris
in reserve. The Rusian General KAM ENSKOI sal-
lied from the fort at day-break, and after two hours
fighting, the 12th regiment of light infantry, sent
by Marshal LEFEBVRE from the left shore, and a
battalion of Saxons, decided the vilory. Scarcely a
battalion belonging to OUDINOT'S corps had any oc-
casion to take part in the anion. Our loss is very
trifling. M. PARIS, a Polish Colonel, was killed.
The loss of the Enemy is greater than we supposed.
We have buried 900 Russians. We cannot rct kon
their loss at less than 2500 men. We observed no
more movements on the part of the Enemy, who
seen;ed to confine himself very prudently within the
circuit cf the works. The number of vessels sent

off with the wounded was fourteen. Tfie tmperor
has issued a Decree for making every person who
distinguished himself on this occasion a Member
of the Legion of Honour : they are about thirty in
number.

" On the 14th a division of 5000 men, mostly
Prussians, from Konigsburgh, landed on the Neh-
rung, and advanced against our light cavalry as far
as Kahlberg, who thought proper to fall back upon
Furstenwerder.

" The Enemy advanced to the extremity of the
Frisch Half. We expected they would have pene-
trated from thence to Dantzic. A bridge thrown
over the Vistula at Furstenwerder made the passage
easy fur our troops cantoued in the island ofNogat,
so that the infantry might have attacked the Ene-
my's rear ; but the Prussians were too wary to pro-
ceed. The Emperor ordered General BEAUMONT,
Aid-de-Camp to the Grand Duke of BERG, to at-
tack them. On the morning of the 16th, at two
o'clock, the General of Brigade ALBERT advanced
at the head of two battalions of grenadiers of the
reserve, the 3d and. the Ist regiments of chasseurs,
and a brigade of dragOons. He met the Enemy
about day-break, between Passenwerder and Steele,
attacked him, routed, and closely pursued him
.11
leagues, made 1.100 prisoners, killed and wounded
great number, and took four pieces of cannon. Ge-
neral ALBERT distinguished himself on this occa-
sion ; as did also the Majors CEIEMINEAU and SAL-
.
MON. The 3d and th th regiMents of chasseurs
shewed great intrepidity : a Captain of the 3d and
five men were killed, and eight. or 'ten wound-M.—
Two of the Enemy's Brigs, cruizing off the Haff,
approached to annoy • us ; a howitzer that struck
one of them upon the deck made them. get under way.

" Thus the Enemy has sufired considerable losses,
at various points, since the I 2t11..

" On, the In th the Emperor caused the Fusileers
of the guard to manoeuvre : they are encamped near
the Castle of Finctenstein in barracks equally as
handsome as those at Boulogne.

" On the 18th and loth the Imperial Guard en-
camped upon the same spot.
Prince JEROME is encamped in Silesia with a
Corps of Observation, covering the siege of Neisse.

" On the t(.2th the Prince learned that a column
of 3000 men had left Glat 7, to surprise Breslau., Ile
ordered General LEFEB VIIE to advance with the Ist
Bavarian regiment, and a detachment of 300 .Saxons.
In the morning of the 14th the General came up
with the Enemy's rear near Cauth, which he im-
mediately attacked, made himself master of the vil-
lage with the bayonet, 4nd took 150 prisoners.. One
hundred of the Bavarian light cavalry fell upon those
of the Enemy, 500 in number, routed, and dispersed
them. The Enemy again formed in order of battle,
and offered, resistance. Three • hundred Saxons
fled ; this extraordinary conduEt must have been the
effeols of disaffealion, as the Saxons have always be-
haved with valour ever since they joined the French.
}:lowever, this unexpeacd event brought the Ist
Bavarian regiment into a very' critical situation._.
They lost 1,50 men, who were made prisoners, and
they were compelled to beat a retreat, which they
tiffeaed in good order. The Enemy retook the
• village of Candi.
In the: morning, at eleven o'clock, General
Dt/MAY, who bad advanced froth Breslau with 1000
French dismounted dragoons, hussars, and chasseurs,
attacked the Enemy in the rear : 150 of the hussa rs
re-took the village, atter a charge with the bayonet,
made locrprisonetcand- liberated all the Bavarians
made prisoners by the Prussians.
" The Enemy, in order to_facilitate his retreat to
Glatz,.had separated in two columns. General Le-
FEBVRE, who left Schweidnitz on the ist'hy fell in
with one of these columns, killed ton, and made
400 prisoners, including 30 Officers. A Polish
gin-let-it of lance-bearers had arrived on the preced
ing evening at-Frankenstein ; and a detachment of
these being sent to join General LEFEBVREi by
Prince JEROME, distinguished themselVeS on this
occasion.

" The second column endeavoured to regain
Glatz by passing the Silberberg. Lieuienant-Ge
neral DUCOUDRAIS, the Prince's Aid-de-Camp, fell
in with them, and threw theM into disorder. Thus
'a column of between 3000 and 4000 men, that left
Glatz was unable, to return. They have been
either killed, made prisoners, or .dispersed."
