EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM PRUSSIAN POMERANIA,

JANUARY 24.

" The winter-quarters promised to the French
Army do not appear likely Io be of long dumion.
It seems that the Russians want to occupy the po-
sition which the French hold at present, between
the NareW, the Bug, and the Vistula, in order to the
re-commencement of actual hostilites. There is no
longer any probability that the French can advance
into Eastern Prussia without corning to an a&ion ;
and it is probable, that, before they can reach Ko-
nigsburgh, they must fight the Combined Russi-
ans and Prussians in the environs of that City."

SOLZIK QUIS DICERS FA:ltiNt AUDZAT?

LONDON,
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1807.

Notice was► this day given at the Stock Exchange,
to the Gentlemen who tnwn to Bid for the Loan,
and they were requested to attend at the Treasury,
at, twelve o'clock to-morrow, for that purpose.

WE this day submit to our Readers some further
Extrads from the Foreign Journals which ar-
rived yesterday, all of which tend to confirm the
tat of the defeat of the French at Mobringen. It

is singular that the French should have thought it
necessary to publish two accounts of that Battle,
and that these accounts should be, in .:otne particu-
lars, essentially different from each other. The
55th Bulletin begins abruptly with an account

;of the Battle of Mobrincren without stating what
,
were the causes that led to it. A vidtory, of course,
is claimed on the part of the, French ; but no notice
whatever is taken of the Capture of Gen. BERNA-
DOTTE'S Baggage. In the account published in the
Hamburgh Correspondenten of this Battle (which
we must consider .as official, because 'no
,article is
inserted in that Paper, particularly if it relates to the
Armies, without the permission of the French Com-
mandant), it is fairly admitted that BERNADOTTE
• was in danger of being cut off from the Maio Body
of the French Army. A part of his Army had ad-
vanced as far as Elbing, which is near one ot the
Mouths of the Vistula. This movement was
dangerous ; but if it had 'peen successful it
would have been attended with incalculable ad-
' vantage to the French. The right of the Russian
Army would have been turned, Konigsburgh and
the remainder of the King of Prussia's dominions'
would have been exposed, and the Allies would
have cut olf from all communication with the
Baltic. Such were the advantages which were likely
to result.from- this movement of BERNADOTTE'S, if
it proved successful. On the °thir hand, he was
completely separated from the mail • body of the
Army, and exposed to the datr;er of being entirely
cut off by a rapid advance of the Russians. The
declaration made by 'MoNa.rARTE of his intention of
phicinz 11;.c Army variers, was obviously

only a feut to deceive the Allies, bechnse at tl-,e
very moment he was talking. of puttinglilis troops
into cantonments, BER'NADOTTE was advancing
Avith all possible speed towards Elbing, for the
purposes we have mentioned: The advance of the.
Russians, 'however, totally .disconcerted this plan,
and BERNADOTTE was obliged to retreat from El-
bing with at least as much rapidity as he advanced
towards it. We do not, however, see any reason
for believing that BERNADOTTE'S Corps was cut
off from the train army after the Battle of Mob-
ringen ; on the contrary, it seems clear that he
had effe&ed his retreat to Loebau, for the pur-
pose of rejoining the main army. So far BERNA-
DOTTE appears to have succeeded—ghat is to say,
though he was defeated with considerable loss, he
was not completely cut off. The Hamburgh ac-
count, as well as the Bulletin, claims the viaory for

the French, at Mohringen. The Russians are re. I
presented to have tied in every direction; yet so
great was BERNADOTTE'S apprehensions of being
overtaken by these Russians who were running
away from him, that he retreated upwards of thirty
miles in two, clays, viz. froth Mohringen to Loebau,
and upon ltii arrival at the latter place; he drew up
his men to wait for the Enemy. The consequence
of this retreat 'of the french was, as we stated
3esterday,. that the Siege of Graudentt was raised,
and Calm and MarienWerder were taken possession
of by the Allies. It was also stated in some of the
accounts, 'that the KING of PRUSSIA and his Fa-
'mily had returned from Memel to,Konigsburgb.-ae
This, however, is not correct. His PRUSSIAN MA•
JESTY, at the time of the last Dispatches, re-
mained at Memel. There seems strong reason to
believe that BONAPARTE had left WARsAw,with the
intention of putting himself at the head of his troops,
in order to try the event of a general battle. If
Gen. BENNwassti should depart from the system
_which hes-hitherto been prciduaive of so 'much ad-
vantage, we are bound to suppose that it must be
upon good groundi. Undoubtedly, in the present
ituation of affairs, the consequence of a defeat
would be infinitely more fatal to the French than it
would be to the Russians.
The Dispatches which were yesterday received
from Lord HUTCHINSON fully confirm the account
a the defeat. of the Wrench at Mohringen, though
not quite to the 'extent stated in the Prussian ac-
counts. Two French Generals, I)4.7rotia. and LES-
CURE, and all BERNADOTTSeg baggage, fell into the
hands of the viaors. It is stated) that at the time his
Lordship was writing the Dispatch, intelligence 'was
received that the French General Tutrapreis had
deserted to the Rusiiaes, and declared that if his
desertion was made knower at the advanced posts,
be was convinced that several other French Officers
would follow his example. seme private Letters
were yesterday received from very respeaable quart
ters, and of a later date than the public intelligence.
brought by the Mail, or the official Dispatches,
which state, that the French had evacuated the
whole of the eastern side of the Vistula; but this
account does not appear to us deserving of credit.
Jr affords us great satisfaEtion to find that the gal-
lant General BLUCHER, whose retreat after the fa-
tal battle of Auerstadt attra&ed the observation and
admiration of all Europe, is again likely to be cm.
played. He is, it is said, to be exchanged for Ge-
neral Vicron. It is also stated, that his Regiment
of Cuirassiers, which Was taken Prisoners at Potz-
dam, have made their escape, man by man, and have
reached Memel, where they now form the King's
I3ody-Guard.
It is certainly true that Generals KANIINSKOI and
BU.FIOVDEN are recalled, and that BANNINGSEN is
now invested with the chief command. Prince
BAGRATIIIOII, who distinguished himself so much in
the Campaign of 1805, is the second in command.

WE are happy to find that the beliwce, of
74 guns, which was driven from the Downs in
the late violent gales, and for the safety of which
some apprehensions were entertained, has arrived in
safety at Portsmouth.

Y-esterday being the Fast-day their MAJESTIES,
