of cannon, and two stand of colours, as well as the

forests of Strasburgh, twenty leagues from _Ming;

BENNINGSRN, and consists often divisions, or bf up-
Wards af two hundred thousand men, which Will be
joined in a fortnight by HaTSMANN PLATOU, with

" The remaining seven divisions, which are
fronted by two Van-guards and a Corps of Cavalry,
Lave their left wing extended towards Neidenberg
and Passenheim, with their right towards Egiau.
" According to some reports, for the veracity of
which we cannot, however, altogether vouch, a large
corps of Cossacks and Calmucks is shortly to come
from Pillad, through the distrid of Dautzic, to ad
against the insurgents."

The Counsellor Tatttourr writes as follows to the
Government of Dantilt. His Dispatch is dated
Marienwerder, January :
." On the 24th and 25th of January two actions
took pike at Mobringen, in which the divisions of
NET and BEENADOTTE were almost entirely de-
stroyed or dispersed, and the remains of the latter
Officer's corps is cut of. MURAT is wounded and
taken, BERNAnoTTE severely wounded, RAPP killed,
And General FOuRBIER made prisoner.
" BONAPARTE is ill at Warsaw of a nervous fever.
The Polish insurgents are in a wretched condition.
The contributions of Elbing, amounting to 60,000
Crowns, are. re-taken at Mobringen, with the entire
equipage BER NADOTTE. •

" The first are at Maiienwerder ; the Russians
are at Culm.; the blockade of Graudentz is raised
