The Sun.
London, England, 1807-03-25 00:00:00

WE received this morning French and Data: Pa-
pers, the former to the 18th inst. and the latter to
the 2I st. They contain the Sixty-third and Sixty--
fourth Bulletins of the French Army ; the substance
of the former we gave in our Paper of yesterday, un-
der the head of a Letter from Berlin ; the latter is of
very little importance, and. seems to have been pub-
lished merely to remove the doubts which appear to•
be very generally entertained on the-Continent re-
tipetling the Glorious Viaory obtained by the French
at Eylau. BONAPA RTE lately seems to have conceived a
great horror for War, and to regret very deeply the
number of lives sacrificed to gratify the ambition of
individuals. The 64th Bulletin, after giving a
dreadful description of the scene of carnage which
the field. of Eylau presented immediately after
the battle, contains the following observation :
" cc speekele est fait pour inspirer crux Princes
l'amour dc ltz pain et l'horrear de la glleire."—lt is
singular that BONAPARTE never
,should have enter-.
tained this horror of the slaughter of human beings
until his career of conquest was stopped, and he had
began to experience the vicissitudes of fortune.
The Russiaas as we expedted, have not permitted
BONAPARTE to retire quietly into Winter Quarters
on the commencement of Spring. General BEN •
NIGSEN having been joined by the expeaed rein-
forcements, again advanced, and some Anions took
place on the Banks of the Passarge, on' the tsth
and 26th of February, in which the French of
course claim the advantage. It does not appear
however, that any thing like .a general engage-
ment took place j they were probably nothing
more than skirmishes between the advanced guard
of the Russians and the rear guard of the French.

We know not whether it proceeded from BONA-
liars's sudden horror of the r:Efusion of human
blood, or whether, after his late disasters, he wished
to gain time to receive reinforcements, but he cer-
tainly did apply ,to Gen. BENNIGSEN,the defeated
General BEtortasert—for a Suspension of Arms,
and to the K p-ING of PRUSSIA to open a Ne-
gotiation for a Peace. In both instances, how-
ever, the attempt failed, and General BEA..
TRAND, who was sent upon this mission to General
13eNtmts.er.q, returned with this. laconic answer—
that. belGeneral BliNsiosui) came to fight, and

not to negotiate:". • It h probable that tOiciiittrt
waA in a great 'degree induced to adopt this huiti:-
tineistli'e by the discontent' which has begun to,
rHullifeSt itself openly in his,Army. 'We stated yes-
trdAY; upon an authority in which We placed great
rcliancel that the French Troops openly expressed
their indignation against Mur AT, who was supposed
to have -advised BoNA.PA'aTE to reject ilte. Overtures
for Negotiation which were made by -.!-te KING of
PRUSSIA immediately after the. Battle of AuerStadt ;
and this attempt at Negotiation was. very likely made
in the hope of appeasing them.
We are extremely sorry to find that the Porte bas
so far suffered itself ki be influenced by French
Councils as to declare Wi* against Great Britain.7=

nate enough to make hIS- *escape in the 'Endymion-

Another ilevobation has taken place in the new
Empire or Hayti. It happened on the itth. of last
month, and vas not accomplished Nv i t 'rout those
horrible massacres which nm.;t natUrally,be expetied
in Governments founded upon such principles, and
hastily put together. Citalsl'ohts fell in this dread-7
fill contest, and the Government was vested in Ge-
neral Pictiisr, on the day when the Vessel which
btought.this intelligence left the Island:

An American Paper was received this day, con='
tainino- the Mesage of the. President of the United
States respeaing Colonel BURR'S Conspiracy, as well
a 3 some letters from one of his Associates in the
Plot, to deneral WILKINSQN. We have not room
for these Articles._ to-day, but shall insert them to-
morrow. It appears that BURR'S aterprize was by
no means well devised or formidable in its nature.

The Royal Assent was given this morning by
Commission to •all the. Bills 'which had passed both
Houses of'Patliament:

His MAJESTY, who was not expeEted in town
till this day, arrived yeAerday afternoon, about five
,;clock, as we mmtioned in last night's SUN. Soon
after His MAJTSTY'S 'arrival at Buckingham House,
the Duke of PoRTLAND and Lord lIAwkESBURY
tended him, with a List of the New Ministerial
Arrangements, which are expecled to, receive the
Royal approbation this day: The foll Owing is given,
as the new Arrangement, aud it is probably the most.
correct that has hitherto appeared.

HALF-PAST TWO o'cLocn, P. M.

IT is with the most sincere smisfaetion that we

botnrnunicate to the Public the guitifyiug intelligence

whkh has just reached us, of the sorrel-I'd& of soore

Coips of the French Army, 'and the retreat of the

remainder out of Poland.

The iteact-quarters of the French Army were

about to be' transferred to-Berlin, and BONAPARTS

was expL-,aed in that City at the end of last week.

General BLUCHER, who has been exchanged

for General VICTOR, was about to set off to take a
command in the Prussian Army.

The Prussian Insurgents on the, right bank of

the Oder are become so formidable, that the com-

munication between.Stettin and Thorn is almost en-

tii‘ely cut' off.

Several Corps of French, worn down by famine

and fatigue, among the rest a considerable part of

OUPINOT'S Division, are reported to have laid down

their arms.

General BENNIGSEN, subsecpient to the battle of

Eylau, received a reinforcement of sixty i!,ousand

Regulars, and 30 Pulks of Cossacs, of 500 Inca

each. On that memorable occasion the, Russian

Army, according to the official statement„ was only

seventy thousand strong. The French were calculat-

ed at one hundred thousand arleast.

The want of forage is so great in that part of Po-

land occupied by the French, that they have been

under the necessity of taking the thatch coverings

off the houses to supply their horses with provender.
