rr dead-tinarters of.theCenera! is chief the.Aistoy
of Poland, at Pimitbr:ri, I;efore Hamburg.' .
Davoust, after having' sustained so
,nano losses at Withelmsburg, appears to hare
given up ail idea .of 'defending it against us, as he
keeps there merely posts for information and coin
munication between Hainborgh and Marburg;
which arc fortified with the greatest skill, and con
necteci with each other.

" Insurmountable obstacles continue to compel
the besiegers to content themselves with obtaki-
ing small advantages ovrr the enemy, and the Ge-
neral In Chief, Count Dennigsen, directs these to
be•carried-as far 'as moral and physical causes will
permitour.scildiers to do it, against, the advan:
tageous position of the enemy. For this, purpose.
small expeditions' of a few hundred volunteers are
daily, and especially by night, sent either against
the Island of Wilhelmsburg, or the enemy's ad-
vanced • posts on the other side, Which arc Mean-
tiously pushed too far, and witt`ch are really amuse-
ment to our soldiers, but which wearies out the
besieged, and causes them many losses.
" Among many such daily fortunate occur-
renees, and in which there are alwa‘vs more or less
prisoners made without suffering any considerable
loss on our side, the folloviing 'tire most worthy
notice..

" On the 23d of February the enemy was d;s-
turbed on several points at the same-Ptime, and by
corryink, off some of his advanced posts, alarmed
him so much that he mr.de signals, and fired with
his heavy artillery on small patroles, even. At a
great distance.
" On the 26th the enemy, rendered more se-
cure by the trifling skirmishes of the preceding
night, suffered a strong column, under
.the com-
.mand of General Bulatoff, and the corps of
Marko% to approach so• near Wilhelmsburg, Unit
these. were enabled to surprise several-oflicers'
posts, and push forward to the road of communi-
cation between Hamburgh and Haarburg
which the nearest batteries of. Harnbuigh' and ,
Haarburg began to fire on us, sltshotigh without
causing tts theJeast loss and after having'attain-
ed the object intended, we returned to our old
cantonments with the pris6ners We had taken.--
The speedy retreat .of the enemy prevented us from
cutting off his cannon.
" On the 2Sth, General Von i‘larkoff again un7
dertoOk an 'expedition . against Wilhelmsburg,
overthrew all the posts establiShed on it, and
pushed across the whole island between Ham
-
burgh and. Haarburg, alarming both. these fort-
ressei, and likewise Bell and. Oehserwerder, to
the other end of it, where General Von Doctoroff,
who cominanded. there, sent some battalions to
meet him. The result of these three expeditiOns
is the more fortunate, on account of the very
small loss sustained in them, which does not ex-
ceed 20 men in killed and wounded ; whilst that
of the enemy consists in eight officers and3S3
privates made prisoners, exclusive of a considera,
ble number of killed and wounded.

" On the sth March, Prince Bagratitm, who
commands the-advanced guards on the side of Al.
sand bad daily small affairs with the enemy,
',,sent another trifling expedition against Wil,-
helmsburg, broke the posts of carabineers sup-
ported by infantry, and made 13 cuirassiers and'
.18 infantry prisoners, with the loss of only three
Cossacks ~rounded. • _

" In the following night (6th March), General
Bulatofffrll on the outworks of the Star Battery,
and With the smile insigni6cant loss, took one of-
ficer, six serjeants, and 67 privates, prisoners.
" In the night 13.1",'ween the 11 th and 12th of
March, Prince Bagration again A.urprized the ene-
my's • head post of carabineers at wilhelms-
burg, and was to fortunate as to carry off 43 cui-
rassiers and 49 horse Chasseurs, without losing a
single man.—The prisoners assure us that 'one of
their officers was killed.

" On the side of Haarborg, where the English
General Lyou'commands a part of the besieging
army, several petty affairs have recently taken
place, several sallies made' by the enemy from
Haarburg having been continually repulsed, and
always to their loss. _The Hanoverian troops sta-
tioned there-keep the enemy-in check. The Ge•-.
• neral-in-Cilief has, on the whole, taken the most
proper measures against any_ sallies of the gavri-
son of Hamburgh. • The Generals of Cavalry
Tschaplitz and Chepelef, command the whole of
.the advanced guard, and Generals Doctor:4, Tol-
stoy, and Markoff, support ,them with their divi-
sions of infantry. The ringlish Gener6.l4Lyon
commands a mixed corps Of Russians, Hanove-
dans, and Hanseatics, before -Haarburg. .
"The General' in Chief has latterly again de-
tached some corps of cavalry to the Ithine, and
has retained no more before Hamburg anti Haar-
burg than what is requisite for the service there ;
on the other hand, he is drawing consitteVable.de-•
tachments of infanfry. to reinforce him-self. The
thaws which may soon be expected, will require
anew and different kind of operations befOre the
fortresses of Hamburgh and Haarburg, and the
needful preparations are accordingly making for
that purpose.
" By several officers.who have deserted to us,
slid among whom there are some native Freitch,
we have received the most particular information
concerning both the strengths and the spirit of the
garrison.. If we were to calculate, merely on the
number of soldiers, the corps d'arrnee tinder Mai-
shal Davoust, and his walls, might be
deemed force sufficient ; but the' moral and phy-
sical state of the garrison reduces them at least
one half part. The Commanding General in Chief
Count Bentrigsen has, at the request of the Sove-,
reign Prince.of the Netherlands, given permission
for raising a company at Blankanese, out of the
Dutch prisoners and deserters, and to send them
front thence to Holland. By these means several
hundreds of these unfortunates are already gone
from Hainhurgh, that unfortimate'city, and Which
may be considered as one of the last French dun-
geons, to assist in the liberation of their native
emintry."
