representations, to induce him to tVoye the Empereril
to be less rigorous to the Hainburahers. It -is .said
that NAPOLEON, in his conversation with, theDepki.,-
ties,-spoke very violently against England, declarin :
that the objet of the measures he had adopted, ill •-
fl
regard to their city, was to distress the English, aeci. I
their trade. ,

The Italian troops quartered in this City were ern'

yesterday, being replaced by a battalion of Dutch)
troops that arrived the preceding day, which have
since been increased to 11,000 men ; and this num-

the'Eniperor NAPOLEON, bungs the news that a de-

ly for this purpose. The ttuss.iitns have occupied
a very strong position. The Emperor set out with
the utmost expedition for Thorn, where almost

all the French Army was collthed since the 14th.—
It is not, however, thought that this Battle'tati be so

near at hand.

Several vessels laden with arms, ammunition,&C.

SLESWICK, DEC. 30.—We learn that NAPOLEON
arrived at 'Warsaw on the 19th inst. where Prince
MURAT was confined to his bed with a cold'and fe-
ver. The French • have rebuilt the bridge over the
Vistula, and established tetes du pones on the Bug,
the Narew, and at Thorn, which latter place sur-
rendered on the ,7th inst. Skirtnishes daily take'
Place between the Russian and French out posts on
the Narew, in which the success is alternate. The
Cossacs are said to have a decided superiority over
the French horse.
• Five hospitals have been established at Warsaw;
Where Kosmusito is, who left Paris the beginning
bf January to put himself at the head of the Polish
Confederation.
General BENNINGSEN, with 73,000 men, retreat-
:
ing before the French ,to the Narew, destroys all the
provisions, lnd takes with him ail those Poles who
are able to sell e in the army; so that the whole
country between Praga and Nultusk, on the Narew,
Is made a desolate waste. In the hospitals at War-
Saw great numbers of Soldiers and Officers are dying
daily of the flux and other diseases, one of which is
necompanied with a general leprosy and foetid effiti-
tia ot putrid matter from all parts of the body, and
is deetutd incurable.
