FIFTH BULLETIN of the ARMY before ILINIBURGT
Headquarters at Pinneberg, Feb. 12.

" As the General in Chief of the Polish Army,
Count Von Benningsen, bad taken his measures
for making an attack on \Vilhclmsburg, on the 9th
February, he issued the following Directions for
that day .
Gen. Ahrenschild, who, in the absence of
Count Walmoden, commands the corps d'armee
before Haarburgh, received 'directions to amuse
the garrison by a strong demonstration, and there-
by support the attack on Wilbelmsburg, which
it was appointed to take place at four in the morn-
ing. The rest of the troops, under,his Excellency
Count Benningsen, were ordered to march to the
.appointed place, in the direction of Willielms-
burg, by four o'clock in the morning. Of the two
columns under the orders of Gen. Doetoroff, the
first was commanded by Lieut. General Emme,
and the second by Count Toistoy ; Gen. Markoff
had the command of the third.

" The first column, tinder Gen. Doetoroff, and
the third, had orders to attack and drive back all
the enemy's posts which they might find o❑ their
road, which he executed with precision, as the
first column broke through the great road from
Hamburgh to Haarburgh, nn the one side,
whilst the third, under General Markoff, did the
same from the other side; but the arrival of the
column under Tolstoy was detained by an unex-
pected inundation, and other obstacles.
" The General-in-Chief having accomplished
his purpose, ordered the troops to fall back to
their former position.

'• The enemy lost about 1000 men in killed
and wounded by this incursion, among whom are
the two Generals Von Asten and Rome, and about
900 or 1000 men, among ivhom are 16 Officers,
were made prisoners. By this progress of the
brave Russians, the enemy likewise lost 12 pieces
of artillery, 60 casks of gunpowder, above 30,000
cartridges, 60 hogsheads of wine, and a great
quantity of provisions."

SIXTH BULLETIN.

" liead-quarters of his Excellency the General in Chief
of the Army of Poland, Pinneberg near Hamburgh.

" The 17th February deserves to be accounted
among the fortunate days of this glorious war, in
which the Russians on the Elbe strove not to be
behind hand with their companions in arms on the
Seine.

" The General in Chief, Count Benningsen,
on this day gave orders for a similar expedition to
that of the 9tll of February against Willieluis-

burg to be undertaken, by causing the fortrerieS
of Hamburg and Ilaarburg to be threatened by
the Generals Tschaplitz, Chepelef, and Ahreed-
z,eheld, by making false attacks. 'The (general rstf
Infantry, Von Doetroff, pushed forward with two
,columns under the command of the Generals
Count Tolstoy and Von blunt!, towards Wilhehus-
burgh, by the way of the Bill and Ochsenwerder,
for the purpose of joining the column of General
Von Markoff, on the road of communication be-
tween Hamburgh and l-laarburgh which column
was taking the same direction from .the side of
Altona, by the way of the Itheierstieg.
" Marshal Davoust knowing us to be the real
masters of Wilhelmsiburgh, and nevertheless
obliged to defend this fortified island, to preset ve
his communication with Haarburgh, although
unable to remain there, gave, we arc sorry to
say, as being too early apprised of our attack, on
the approach of our columns, several signals, by
burning a house on Wilhelmsburgh, and tiring
of rockets, on which the enemy's posts on
Wilhelrusburgh and adjacent islands endeavoured
immediately to form a junction, and by fighting
their way, to receive assistance from the for-

tresses.

Our columns would not permit this
junction to take place, but pushed directly forward
towards the high road, where they then formed
enfronte against Hambrough and Haarburg, and
drove the separated enemy behind the walls of
that city ; Gen. Arentcheld supported this ope-
ration by a demonstration which be made at the
same time against Ilaarburg, to the satisfaction of
the General in Chief, and thereby rendered it
eisier for the troops pushing forward against
Haarburg from SVilhelmsburg to effect the burn-
ing of the bridge of communication near fiaar-
burg,. which was of the greatest consequence :
Haarburgh si.as thereby become totally sepa-
rated from llambnrgh, had it been consistent with
the plans of the General in Chief to keep pos-
session of Wishenburg.. As the intent of this ex-
pedition had by this means been so unexpectedly
soon fulfilled even before noon, and the Prince of
Eckmuhl with his army, which has already de-•
creased to about 20,000 men, was shelter ing him-
self in dread, behind his walls ; the General in
Chief; Count Benningsen, gave orders for quitting
again Wilhernsburg in the same manner as before,
and for bringing the troops back to their fanner
cantonments.

" As trophies of this day they brought with
them seven Officers and 393 privates as prisoners,
and the soldiers drank to vietory.in the wine they
had taken from the enemy.
" The enemy, who fled too soon, lost on this
day about 500 men killed and wounded, among
whom there arc said to be several Officers of high
rank. Our loss could not be otherwise than
trifling, as our brave soldiers would not give the
enemy time to face about again. It nevertheless
consists in 87 privates, and seven officers, a pro-
portion which is greatly to the honour of our
Officers."
