FIFTIETH BULLETINsethe GRAND ARMY.

WARSAW, JAN. 13.—The troops found at Ostro-
lenka several sick Russians,whona the enemy had been
unable to take off with him. Independent of the
loss of the 'Russian army in killed and wounded, it
has suffered still greater losses by the illness which
increases in it from day to day.
On the Bth of January the Garrison of Breslau,
consisting of 5500 men, defiled before Prince Js•
ROME 3 the town has sustained considerable damage.
From the first moment it was invested, the Prussian
Governor caused the three suburbs to be burned.
The fortress was regularly besieged ; we Were al-
ready battering it in breach, when it surrendered.
The Bavarian and Wurtemburgh troops distinguish-
ed the►rtselves by their intelligence and bra Very..
Prince JEacimu is now investing and besieging at the
same time all the other fortresses in Silesia. It is
probable that they wil► not hold Out long. .

The corps of 10,000 men, whom 'the ,Prince of
PL:ES3 had formed cf the garrisons of the fortresses.

were cut to pieces in the engagements of the 29th
and 30th December.

Gen. MONT-BRUN, with the Wurtemburgh Caval,
ry, went to meet the Prince of PLESS, near.Ohlau,
which he took possession of o❑ the ogt h in the even-
ing. The next morning, at five, the Prince of PLESS
ordered him to be attacked. Gen. MONTERUN taking
advantage of the unfavourable position of the enemy's
Infantry, made a movement to the left, turned him,
and killed a number of men, made 700 prisoners,
took 4 pieces of cannon, and as many horses.

The principal forces, however, of the Prince of
PLESS are, behind Neis, where he • assembled them
after the engagement of Streciden. He left Schnr-
galt, and, marching day and night, drivanced as far
as the bivouac of the Wurtemburgh brigade, which
were drawn up in the rear of Hube, under Breslau.
At eight in the morning he aftacked,• with 600 men,
the village of Griesteti, occupied by two battalions of
infantry, and by the.Litange,light-horse, under the
command of the Adjutant 'Commandant DtrvEY-

BIER but he met with so vigorous a rceeptioh

WaS also there with his troops ; they, were, thus in
the presence of each other..., In passing Bucharest,
the 'Turkish. Officers .appeared yery much ;itiimated;
they said 'to a French Officer who' was in •that town,
The French shall see what we are capable of ; we
form the right of the army of Poland ; we shall
shew ourselves worthy to he praised by the Emperor
NAPOLEON.'

Every thing is in motion through this vast EM-
pire, the Sheiks and Uiemas give the impulse, and
every one ties to arms to repel the most unjust of
aggressors. Count ITALINSILY has only avoided being
sent to the Seven Towers by pronsing that on the
return of his Messenger the Russians will have orders
to abandon Moldavia and restore Choczim and Ben-
der.

The Servians, whom the,Russians no longer dis-
avow for Allies, have taken possession of an Island
on the Danube, whence they cannonade Belgrade.
The-Austria► Gffernment have ordered it to be re-
taken. 'Austria and France arc equally interested in
'not seeing Moldavia, Wallachia, Servia, Greece,
Romelig, and Natolia, become the sport of the Mus-

covites.
The interest of England, in this contest is at least
a; evident as that of France and Austria, but will
she acknowledge it ? WiR she impose silence on the
hatred which directs her Cabinet Will she listen to
the lessons of policy and experience ? Should she
shut her eyes to the future, should she only live
from, day to day, should she listen only to her
jealousy of France, she will perhaps declare war
against the Porte, become the auxiliary of the in-
satiable ambition of the'Rtissians, and form for her-
' self an abyss, the depth of which she will not per-
ceive until she falls into it.

FIFTY-FIRST BULLETIN OF THE GRAND
ARMY.

WARSAW, JAN. 14.—0 n the 2gth December,
the dispatch of General BENNINGSEN was received
by the King of ,PRussia. at Konigsburgh, It was
immediately published and posted up throughout the
town, where it excited the greatest transports .of
joy. The King was publicly complimented on the
occasion ; but on the 3 ist in the evening,. intelli-
gence was_given by some Prussian Officers, corro-
borated by other advices from the country, of the
real state of things. Sadness and consternation were
now so much the greater, as every one had aban-

doned himself to joy. If was then resolved to eva7
cuate Konigsburgh, and preparations were imme-
' diately made for that purpose. The treasure and
most valuable'property was immediately sent off to
Memel; The Queen, who was still ill, embarked
on .the 3d January for that town ; the King set out
for thence on the Gth. The remains of General
LESTOCQ.'S division also departed for the same place;
after leaving• at Konigsburgh two battalions and a
company of invalids.
The King of Prussia's Ministry is composed in the
folloWing manner :—Gen. RUCHE', still ill of the
wound he received at the battle of Jena, is appointed
Minister of War. The President SAGEBATHE is
pointed Minister of the Interior.
The present forces of the Prussian Monarcby-are
as follow :—The King is 'attended by fifteen hundred
troops,'
,both foot and horse. General LESTOCQ has
about five thousand men, comprising the two Bat-
talions left at Konigshurgh with the company of in-
valids. Lieutenant-General HAMBURGER commands
. .
at Dantzic, where he has a garrison of Six thousand
men. The inhabitant's have been disarmed, and it
has been intimated to them that in case of alarm the

troops will fire on all those . who shall quit their

houses. General GVtADO'N commands at Colberg,
with .I.Bo_o inen. Lieut. Gen. COI:MERE is at Oratt-

dentz, with 3000 met;.
Thee-Freuch troops are in motion to surround and
b.:siege these fur-tresses. A certain number of re-
,
cruits whom the King of Prussia had caused to 'be
a:serobled, and who- were neither clothed nor armed,
have been disbanded, because there was no' method
ofkeeping theln in order.
Two or three English Officers were at Konigs-
burgh, and caused hopes to be entertained of the
arrival clan English Army. The Prince-of PLESS
has in Silesia 12 or 15,000 men shut up in the for-
trzfs,es of Brieg, Neis, Schweidnitz, and .Kusel,
%:.itich Prince JEROAIE has caused to be invested.

the.army ; while we can -shew him 6000 prisoners,
two standards, which• he lost near Pultusk, and 3000
wounded, .whom he-abandoned in his flight. •

Should Gen. nUXIIOVDEN have given. oti his side
as true a relation of the engagement 'of Golymin, it
will be evident that the French army was beaten,
and that in consequence 4, its defeat., it took p. Os-

session of too pieces of ordnance, of 1600, baggage
waggons, of all the hospitals of the Russian army,
of all its wounded, and of important position of.
Sieroch, Pultusk, and Ostrolenka; and obliged the
enemy to fall back 80 leagues. With regard to the
inference attempted; to be drawn by Gen.BENNING-
SEN, from his not having been pursued, it is suffi-
cient to observe,. that good care was taken not to
,pursue hiM, because our troops outstretched him by
two days' mattch ; and but for, the bad roads ‘.vhich
, hindered Marshal SouLT from following this mme-
ment, the Russian General would have found the
French at Ostrolenka. •
It remains for us only .to seek what could be the
intention of such a relation.- It is the same, no

doubt, which the Russians proposed.to thems2lves at

the battle of Austerlitz. lt is the same, no doubt,
as that of" the Ukases, by-which 'the Emperor At:Ex-
ANDER declined "accepting -the Grand Insignia, be-
cause,
.he said, he 'had net 'commanded at.that' ba'r-
tie, and accepted the small insignia for the success
be had obtained in it, although under the cotntaand
of the EAIPEROR of AUSTRIA. •

He says, furthermore, he had the Grand Duke of
BERG and Marshal DAVOUST against him, whilst in
fact he had only' to cope with the division of.SUCHET
and the corps of. Marshal LANES ; the'l7th regi-
ment of light infantry, the '34th of the line, the 64th
and the 88th, are the only regiments Who. fought
against him. He must have reflected 'very little on
the position of Pultusk, to suppose, that the French
would take possession of that town, commanded
within pistol shot.
There is, however,. one point of view under
which the relation of General BENt4IGStN may be
justified. No doubt but apprehensions were enter.--
tained of the cffea which the 'truth- might produce
throughout Prussian and Russian Poland, which the
Enemy were to cross, had it reached those countries
previous to his' being enabled to place his- hospitals
and scattered detachments safe "from all insult.

These relations, so evidently ridiculous, may still
produce the advantages for the Russians of delaying
for some days the ardour which faithful recit4ls. will
not fail,to inspire'in the Turks; and there are-circurn-
gtances in which a few days delay would be of some
importance. Experience, however, has proved that
all wiles defeat their end, and that in all things sirnw
plicity and truth are the best policy.

scarcely arrived there, when, before break of day,
they were attacked
.by a detachment of one thousand
foot and one hundred and fifty horse, with four pieces
of canhon, from Colberg. The French, not appalled
by the Enemy's great superiority of number, carried
a bridge, took four pieces of cannon, and made roo
prisoners; the rest were put to flight, leaving be-
hind a. number of slain and wounded in the City of
Wallin, the streets of which were covered with
them, The City of Brieg, in Silicia, has surrendered,
after a siege of five days.—Poland, rich in grain and
provisions, affiards us a plentiful supply; Warsaw
alone furnishes one hundred thousand. rationS daily.
