SIXTY-FIRST BULLE rIN.

LANISItgRG, FEE. 18.—" The battle of Eylati was
at first represented by several of the enemy'S Officers
•
as a vi&ory. This was believed at Konigsbtirgh the
whole of the evening of the 9th. However, the
Russian Army and the Head-quarters making their
appearance soon after, excited a very great alarm.
Presently, some cannon shots were beard, and the
French were seen' masters of a small eminence which
commanded the whole Russian camp.

" The Russian General declared he would defend
the place, which in some degree.increased the de-
spondency of the inhabitants, whoexpeCted nothing
less than to undergo the same fate as Lubec had ex-
perienced ; but, happily for the City of Konigsburgh,
it was not among the objeas of the French General
to drive the enemy out of his position.

" The number of dead in Generals and Officers
of the Russian army is very considerable.
" In consequence of the Battle of Eylau, upwards
of 5000 wounded Russians, left upon the field, and
in the neighbouring hospitals, have fallen into our
bands. Part of them are since dead ; the others,
who were slightly wounded,. have increased the
number of prisoners of war : 1500 have been sent
back to the Russian army. It is thought the Rus-
sians had 15,000 wounded, exclusive of the 5000
that fell into the hands of the French. . .
" The army is gone into quarters. - The neigh-
bourhood of Elbing, Liebstadt, and Osterode, is the
finest,part of the country. The Emperor has made
choice of this situation to establish his left wing.

" Marshal MoRTIER has advanc,ed into Swedish
Pomerania. It is a pity that the enemy should unne-
cessarily have set the fine suburb of Kuper on fire.
.It exhibited a lamentable speetcle. Upwards of
`AGO persons are without home or shelter."

PROCLAMATION, •
. —SOLDIERS---We began. to enjoy a little rest in our
winter-quarters, when the enemy fell upon our ad-
. vanced corps,andshewed themselv'eS upon the Lower
Vistula. We marched against them. We have pur-
sued them upwards of thirty leagues. They have
fled to their intrenehments, and again passed the
Pregel. in the battles of I3ergfried, D,ppen, Hof, and
Eylau, we haste taken si xty7frve ofcannon, six-
teen standards ; and killed, ,-v:.,unc;ed., and taken pl-.
soners•40;000 teen; "The brave men who have fallen ,
in the bed of honour, 'lave had La glorious death.
This is the death of a true soldier. • Their families
shall experience our care and benevolence: Since we
have baffled the designs of the: eriuny,.* we slab
again return to the Vistula, and occupy our canton-
ments. Should the enemy then dare to disturb us,
,••.,•i• • ••. .
it shall be to his sorrow, for beyond the Vistula, !is
well as beyond the Danube, in the middle of a hard
winter, or in the beginning of autumb,. ;re "war
always remain French soldiers, and soldiers of the
Grand Army."

LowER ELBE, MARCH-I.—The last battle, fought
five miles from Koning,sburgh, has been one of thd
most destruetive in the history of the present war.
The number of killed on both sides ;s stated At
30,000. It seems that a strong colump of Russians
that had'escaped the battle of. Mohringen, and ap-
proached the Vistula, was cut off from the main
*body, and was not able to force its way through the
enemy without the greatest difficulty, and the loss
of much artillery and men. The Russian centre was
six times attacked by the French; if they. had suc-
ceeded in breaking through it, they would have be-
come masters.of Konigsburgh, and the rich maga-
zines in that city.
The Polish insurgents have to' regret the loss of
one of their bravest leaders, Gen. KOSINSKY, who'
has had the misfortune to be taken prisoner by the
Prussians.

. . .
• The Prussian marauding party, that has penetrated
as far as Franckfort on the Oder, has, it 'is said,
taken a considerable transport of money.
. Frequent skirmishes take place between the Prus-
-slang and the Polish Confederates in Pomerania.
We are assured that General NricTort- has been ex-
changed for the Prince of Orange. The former, we
know, is charged with the expedition against Colberg
and Dantzic. .

a When you receive this Letter, yon.will perhaps
have he.ird 7, he terrible battle taught three days
ago, between our army and the Freneh. As I snit.-
poseo you might. be vety uneasy respecting nay fate,
I haiiten to satisfy you by the presentkletten ,No-
thing disagreeable has occurred to me, though I
have been A whole day in. the rnidst•of a shower of
balls and bullets. I know not how it was pbssible
to come out of such a i'ceue of .desolatiOn hilt,
after all, thank God, I have not received a scratch,
and therefore am much more fortunate than most of
the brave Officers of our regiment, Who have fallen.
Those who are not killed, are almost all wounded.
This battle has been more fatal than that of Ails-.
terlitz.-

. .
" Our army has performed prodigies of valour.
Though we have lost a liueriber of men, it is gene-
rally agreed, thlat it is 'an astonishing 'Circumstance
not to have lost more; and this is looked upon as
an etfeCt. of the excellent disciPline which prevailed.,
in the army, during the heat of ;the •.aaioni, and in
the midst of such a fire'as never was seen.
During the last three 'days, the question who
were the victors, has been frequently asked among
us. This. may appear singular ; hut in reality, 'J
' cannottsay which of the ,armies fought with the Most
'courage and firmness, or which did the most
chief to the other ;, however, thi's is certain, that Wse
Jost a very great number of men. tut as we have
not kept possession of the field of 'battle, and, of
course, have not yet been able to verify the results
of the anion, there .is room to hope that a great
part of the men who have hitherto been absent on
the Falling of the rolls, have not perished. kis less
:painful to acknowledge, that the enemy has made a
number;of prisoners. 4 . ,
" In. spite,of our losses, this memorable day has
clone great honour to our arms. Every corps, every
officer,., every private' man distinguished himself.
.Our retreat after.the battle, is no proof that we haVe
beenbeaten, We did not go to take a military po-
sition, bUt.merely to find an opportunity to come to
an engaOment with the enemy at a time when we
hoped be would not be in a situation to resist the
'Mass 'Of the faces brought to a6l against him. If we
conqUered; other operations "would have imme-
diately hilloiyed; but otherwiSe it was our ditty to
retreat, which.we are doing at this moment; 'and
this only proves, That our enterprile has not had'ill
the success which it prOmiseti.
"As for the rest, I cannot our situation is the
'Most brilliant. The enemy has the advantage over
lI'S, of making 'war '6OO Miles from his,oWn country,
and living at the expellee of 'the vanquished. Should
he, as it is thdught, arrive Upon Onr territory, the
people of , our frontidis will. have two dreadful
