PARIS, 19.—Her Majesty .the Empress,
Queen and Regent, has received the following in-'
formation respecting the situation of the armies
on the morning of 'the 13th. •
The fortress of Spandau has capitulated. This
event astonishes all military men. His Majesty
has ordered that General Bruny,The Cominauriant
of Artillery, and (kunuandant, Engineer of the
place, as well as -011€ Ministers'of the Council of
Defence, who may not have protested against it, to
be arrested and tried betor,e-a. Marshal's' Commis-
sion, presided by the Vice-Constable.
His Alitlesty has likewiie ordered that the capi-
tulation of Thorn should be the subject, of an in-
quiry. if the garrison of Spandau has surren-
dered without a siege, a strong fortress surrotind.
ed by marshes, and .subscribed to a capitulation•
which must be the subject of an inquiry and a

judgment; the conduct observed by the garrison
of Wittenberg has been very different. General
LAPOYE has perfectly well conducted• himself, and
supported the ‘ltimoitr of arms, in the defence of
that important point, which is besides but an
different fortress, having but one inclosure, half
destroyed, and which could only owe its resist',
once to the courage, of its defenders.
Baron De MOntarati; an Equerry to
peror; on the Gth May, lost his -Way two days
journey from Dresden. Re fell into the bands 'of
a parole of light cavalry, consisting of 3t) tnen,
anti was taken by the enemy.
A new Courier, sent from Vienna by M. De

Stackelberg to M. De Nessebode, at Dasd,m, has
just been intercepted. What is remarkable is this,
that the dispatches arc dated the Bth in the even-
ing ; and that, notwithstanding, they contain
congratulations from M. De StaciAberg to, the
Fanaseror Alexander, upon the brilliant victory he
haslnst gained, and upon the retreat of the
French beyond. the Saale ; the Grand Dtiehes*

dopted a different conduct in such a civilized
country as Germany. •
PAim, Max 20.-liee Majesty the Empress
Queen and-Regent, has received the following in-
telligence relative to the situation of the army on
the morning of the 11th of May. The army of
the Elbe has been disFolved ; and the two armies
of the Übe and the Mein form only one.
" The Duke of Bellitno was on the evening. of
the 13th near Wittenberg. The Prince of 'Mos-
cow has left Torgati to proceed to Luknu.
" Count id,euriSton Willi marching from Torgau
on Dobreleigh....
'' Count Bertrand was at Koenigshrttck.
" Tina:Duke of 'resent°, with the I Ith corps,
was encamped,betW?..en Bischollswerdcr and Baut-
zen.. I.le, on the 11th and 12th, briskly pursued
the enemy: . . •
General Miloradovitz, with a tear-guard con-
sisting- of 20,000 men, and 40 pieces of'caonon,
endeavoured, 013 the 12th, to retain the positions
of Fischbach, Capelhenberg, and of Ilisholswer-
der, which brought, on threesuccessive battles,
in which our troops behaved with the Utmost in-

trepidity.
" Charpentier's division distinguished itself on.,
the locusts on the right. live enemy was turned
in this position, and dislodged at. all points ; one
of his columns was cut oft:. We have taken five
hundred prisoners, and he had upwards of 1;500
men- killed or erssmded. The .Itrtillery of the
llth coi ps fired 2,000 cannon .shot in the en-
gagement. •
" The remains of the Prussian army, under the
command of the King of Prussia, which passed at
Medi-tau, took the road to Bautzen, by Koenigs-
bruck, to join.the Russian army.
" Yesterday at noon, the Duke of Reggio.'s
corps passed the bridge of Dresden. The Em-
peror has reviewed the cavalry corps and fine
cuirassiers,. under General Latour Maubourg.
" It is said the Russians have advised the Prus-
sians to burn Potsdam and Berlin, and lay all
Waste. They began by setting the example
themselves. In their galete de emir, they burned
the little town of Bishofswerder. The King of
SaXOny dined
,with the Emperor., on the 13th.
The 2d division of the Young Guards, com-
manded by General Barrois, is expected to-mor-
row at Dresden." •
PA3IS, MAY 21.—Her Majesty the Empress
Queen and Regent has ieecived the,following in-
formation of the situation of the armies on the
16th, in the evening : •
". On the 15th, the Emperor and King of
- Saxouy reviewed four regiments of Saxon cavalry
(one of hussars, one of lancers, and two of
siers), which forme part of General Latour 'Mau-
bourg's corps. Their Majesties afterwards vi-
sited the field of battle' at the -tete-du-pout at
Prulnitz.
The Duke of "Tarenti put himself in motion
.on the 15th, at five in the morning, to march op-
posite Bautzen. He met at the debouche from the
enemy's rear-guard ; some charges of cavalry
were attempted against our cavalry, but
cessfally. The enemy, however, wishing to main—
tain himself in this position, a fire of musketry
took place, and be was driven from the post. We
had 250 men killed or wounded-in this rear-ghard
affair. The eueny's loss is estimated. at. train 7
to 800 men, of Whom 2po are prisoners.
" The second division of the Voting Guard,
commanded by General' Blierois, arrived at Dres-
den yesterday. • All the army has passed the
• Elbe. Independently of the grind bridge at
Dresden, two bridges of boatss have been esta-
blished, the one above, the Other below the town.
• " The Berlin Gazette of the Bth, contains! the
regulation for the Lamistarin. Folly cannot be-
carried further,lsatt it may be foreseen that the in-
habitants of Prussia have too much good sense,
and are too much attached to the real principles
of propriety, to imitate barbarians who hold no-
Oleg sacred. At the battle of Lutzeo, a regiment
composed of the -.Elite of the Prussian nobility,
and who were called Pritsiiian Cossacks, were en-
tirely destroyed, only HigNeen belonging to it re—
main, which has covered all allele families with
inonettiugs These Cossacks really feigned Cos-
sacks of the Don ; these tender delicate young
• men had Winces in their hands, which they could
scarcely. support, and were dressed like real Cos-
-sacks. What would Frederick say, if he saw his
• great nephew, at this day, seek models of nuiform
anti appearance trout them ? The Cossacks are ill
. clothed, they are moriated upon small borses, al-
nsost vvithout saddles and harness, 'because they
are irregular Militia, which the inhabitants of the
Don Ittenish, -and which are e.ittiblished at their
expense. go there to scelz fur a model for the
Nobility of Prussia, is to shetv to what point the
spirit of folly and incompetency is carried, which
directs the affairs of that kingdom."

troops, and ito confound the ftillatiolis proinkei
our enemies have made thentselvei,' The cam-
paign is scarcely opened, and we ayeitttv see the
oracle fulfilled. The first day of- hoitiiities has
tlischarged this imposing engagement of a great
genius, Supported by the often-proved protection
of Heaven, and animated by the noble feelings of
stremrth, our august Alajesty then laid before
the nation his hopes, supported by the guarantee
vt twenty years of triumph, the Mot of which
ell: ices all the reputation of history.
ci Our enemies, emboldemed by the defection
pf the most vervtile of our allies, who already
expiates for the blindness of his folly, entertained
no.dotxbt oithe ferll .access of tiwir new coalition
against, France, Thus, whilst their frozen climate
suspended' the course of our vi;::',ories, the Hos-
siquK, forgetting all their defeats last year, which
they celebrated by so many 'public thansgivings,
considered the fugitive ptoteetiort Ili elements

this foolish belief of our military degradation,_
that they made, during the wUitcr, a campaign of
ideal invasion and conquest.
" They flattered utl ..einselves. to Brice us out of
Germany, and even to carry the seat of war into
our ancient territories, should we refuse to submit
to such laws as their arrogance should please to
dictate to us from the banks of the Rhine, nor did
they awaken from this dream of glory till the mo-
ment of their disenchantment in the plains of
Lutzen. -
" The s6verity of an early winter alone tri-
umphed over our army, always victorious in those
diAtalit and horrible climate,. But proud of a
calamity, whereof they, like us, had partaken
the rigours, the 'Russians considered our projects
as mere dreams, our preparations as fabulous sto-
ries, and our resource:l as chimeras.
" Four tuouths of prodigies on the one side, and

of illusions on the other, have enabled France to
meet them, by shewi lig herself to istoniShed Ger.
many More powerful than ever. - winter's rest
has repaired every thing. A noble emulation of
devotion and volUntary sacrifices has relieved the
finances, the great resource of war, front all its
deficiencies, by renerving our army, without bay-
iOng necessity to require any increase of imposts
on the nation, without reducing us to make use
of any minims expedient ; and 110 sooner was our
military preparation established, than at the re-
turn of the armed coalition presented itself
to receive that chastisement krhich was .prepared
for it by our brave warriort.',. Uod, who enjoys

immediately vanished See them now, htimiliat-

querors, who so lightly reckoned on our diSho-
your, exclusive of the new and flourishing aspect
presented to our
~army the glorious victory for
which we are this day going to render to the All-
Powerful the most solemn acts of thanksgiving, it
announces triumphs more decisive in our favour
to the eyes of, the wise, who can judge of the fu-
ture by the present, andsead beforehand, in these
great events, all the glorious pages which they
promise for history. Every day will develope the
result to us. We shall drive these Tartars .baek
to their frightful climate, which can no longer
save them.

In fact, the campaign which commences un-
der such brilliant auspices, apparently ought, to
manifest to us the designs of Providence, in the
magnificent destiny of the Emperor, in their full
extent, Powers who are enemies to Prance, ye
had numbered our legions, ye had ealeulated of
how many arms they are composed ; but ye had
forgOtten at the sammie time to appreciate the ex-
traordinary genius of their Chief, Whose sublime
combinations know 'how to balance their actions,
to chacert time whOle, to supply-their means, and
double their force. You suppose our soldiers to be
without experience, and you dare to despise that
youthful courage which had not yet seen the dread
'Jul fire of battles ; but_ye do not dreamy that the
renown of the great man who commands them»
would render them heroes when before you all.
You still belieted him to be far from his army,
whilst his history, as well as your dreams, should
have taught you that in his mareqes his post is

the presence of the first of Captains, both for the
inammuvres and enthusiasm of his troops, and by
the ravages of time thunder which has destroyed

The contents of French Papers. to the 22d will
be found in our preceding columns. They bring
down the BUONAPARTEAN history of the ivar to
the evening of the IGth, by three dispatches ad-
dressed to the ENIPItESS REGENT, dated on that
day, and on the 13th and 14th. The -strong
fortress of Spandau has surrendered to the
Allies, to the greatdis pleasure and mortification of
the Tyrant, who has given Orders for the-trial (as
a prelude, we suppose, to the-execution) of the
Officers who commanded at the period of the Ca-
pitulation. The only actions alluded to are men-
tioned in so confused and indistinct a Manner,
that it is not easy to diicover any thing concern-
ing them, more thud that the enemy must
have been very severely handled, although they,
as usual, claim a vietoty, and assert that Alt Lo,
annov yrcu lost 1500 killed and wounded, and
500 prisoners. The_ contest seems to have been
contintted from the 12th to the 15th. It com
menced near Bischotiswerder on the former, and
terminated between that place and,Bautzen on
the latter day. The Russian force is stated at
20,000 men, but no Mention is made of the num-
ber of the French army, which consisted of the 11th
corps (under 14licuoN.ALD, as the successor of
BxAunAnNots) ,anti conseptently of the most ve-
teran troops of the enemy. We know that llmo-
annovrrett is one Of the best anti most enter-
prising Generals in the Russian service; and front
the admission that INIACDONALD ryas encamped be-
tween Bisehotis werder and Bautzen previous to the
12th, where he still was on the 15th, we should
not be surprised to bear that our brave Allies
were the assailants instead of having been pur-
sued, and that they had obtained sirional advan-
tages iu3tend of baying been. defeated..
