*Wr.: have received _Paris Papers to the 31st
which • contain
~the. 6501 Dulletin of the irrench
Army, which ,gives..us. a very particular account
-.of the position..,of -French, Army on the.
loth March, the day onwhich the Bulletin is dated..
It is stationed: in cx-Itonments on this side of the
Passarge, extending, frem.Elbing to Osterode;. the
head-quarters being at. the latter. place. In the mean
time, the Division of Gen. 13;FEBV iS, it said,
.
employed in the Siege of Dantzie. No account is
•_ . .
.given of the poition of the Russian Army; but
it seems quite clear that
~13oXfAraitTE will risk
enother .battle ikfore he t6--crOSS-CS
The position'‘i'hi6l-1 he now. occupies will en-
able 'him efreaually to cover the siege of Dantzic-; •
and unless General Btl,l/4§'EN. can dilOdge hin3,,
that important place must fall. The reinforcements
which the Russian Army has received mUst 'have
put General BENNIGSEN in • a satiati&ri-:_to-resutne
offensive ppCrations, and of course he `would Make:
every effort in •his power to preserve' That:City;
because." the possession of 'it could' be 'lrighly'-'iid7
vantageous to the French --during the remainder
of the CamPaign. It' is thettfore probable 'that. a
decisive aalon • 'has. taken 'place' before this tittle.

so long. ICi.s..equaily well..hnown,that the Con-

scripts, who have been ordered to join the Army in

Poland have manifested the most dPcided repugnancp
to marchi, immense ilurilbors-of'thern have dts-ertdd,
. and it has become necessary "to guard them like

'Prisoners. Thc. report of a Peace nay lessen their
unwillingto :join the Army: We
, .
however, :,belieVe that BortApotTE. would. oder
such terms -a.S. the EMPI?.ROR. •of. RUSSIA.. 'could
accept eithei 'consistently With-his interest' or his
honour; though. tl,)e former would, we have no

the very appearance of a Negotiation`would be of
the utmost advantage to him. .‘

Ttte new Ministers have already been accused for
counterading- the Economical •Regulations of .their
PredecessOrs, and the 'prodf which has been aisign7
ed in support of this charge is, that they will not
consent to abolish the office of Barrack-Master-Ge-
neral, in order to establish a Board for the perform-
ance of the duties of that office. , We do not see
that any saving could .be effeeta4 by the Fhange
which has been- propose:.: The salary of the Bar-

lek-Master-Generalis exa&ly 2g241. a-year (not
50001. a-rear, as has been stated), and the Com-
missioners who were to be appointed in his room
were to 'have WOOL a-year each. In fa& the
only obje;t which- would be attained by the pro-
. posed change w'o.uld be tolransfer the patronage of
that Office from the Commander in Chief to the
Treasury, by whidi certainly the Public would not
be benefited icy the least

by those who were the most violent against his

Public. Print, that the Resolution against Lord MEL.
VILLE ought not to be rescinded, because the
judgment of acquittal, pronounced by the Hopse of
.Lords, by no 'Means decideS that there waS no
fonnotation .for the prosecution." We certainly
did not expe& to hear, such •doarine from those
who censured ,Nfr, WUSD /IA so much se-
verity for having, after the State . Trials in, the
year 1794, advanced 'a similar proposition. It
seems, however, as if it were determined that Lord
, .
MErvlL4E's case should be in every respea.
gular. Punishment is infliaedupcin accusation--but
trial and acquittal is not in antdegree to be considered
as establishing innocence : a verdia cif" Guilty,"

were well founded—but a verdiEt of." Not Guilty,".
by no-means decides that there was .no foundation, or
the. charges.

It was yesterday reported, op the authority of a
letter from DOminica) dated Jan, 27th, that a. very
large body,of French. troops had assembled at Gua-
daloupe, which had excited. much alarm at the for-
mer Island, where martial law was immediately
proclaimed, and a.request-sent to Barbadoes 'for re-
inforcements. It is. not, however, believed that
any. powerful number of French troops were really
assembled at Guadaloupe, however proper it might
be on the' part of the people of Dominica to adopt
every possible means to guard against a, surprizg;
becadie in'the letters from Mount Surat of the eith,
and from Antigua of the 2d of February, Which
have been received, no notice is taken of any extra-
ordinary preparations at Guadaloupe, or any particu-
lar 'arrivals from France.

The DUKE of KENT is returned to town from

We understand that the slenkiid 'Medals 'which

Txa THEATaft.-.-The new After-piece of The
Wood Damon was represented again last night at
Drury Lane Theatre, and, being much
by a curtailment in its ilialogue,was Very wellimproved
received
by a numerous Audience. In faCt it is Chiefly to be •
considered as a magnificent and beautiful speCiacle,
which, by the course of its events in action, is calcu-
lated to.take a strong hold of the feelings. So far th-e
Authorr-has formed an outline,.-which theliherariiy of
theManagers,and the ingenuity of the NI echanist,have
filied ap with inipresaive grandeur, and rendered,
caPableof producing an awful and interesting effeet.
Upon the mind. It is aided too by varied and dm=
raaeristic music, as well as by admirable aaing.
As a Speelacle, therefore, this Piece is likely to
be so attractive, as not only to indeMnify, but
to reward the Proprietors for their •adventurous
profusion, in attempting to gratify the prevailing taste
of the Public, for compositiops of a splendid and
impressive charaCter.

SIXTY-FIFTH BUILLETIN'op T.HI GRAND ARMY.

OSTEROD, MARCH 14.--The',Artny IS 'gone

,olPoNrg Guava is at Holland and Braunsbtingh;
Marshal Savvy at Liebstadt and Moll-reit:igen; Mar 7
shal at Guttstadt ; Mitshal ilAvousT at Allen-
stein, 1-iJlenstein, and Deppin ; the head-quarters,
are at ()stet:ode ; the Polish Corps of Observation',
under G‘tkral ZAYONSCHECK, is at Niederberg ;
IVlarshal LEFES-VRE is before.Dantzie.

cr The tsth Corps is Upon the Omulew ; a 'division
of Bavarians, under the Crown Prince, is at War-
saw; the Corps of Prince JERbili, in Silesia ;'the
hsth- Corps of Observation is hi Swedish Pomerania;.
the fortresses of Breslau, Schvveidnitz, and Brieg,
'are demolished ; Gen. RAPP, Aid-de-Camp to the.
.Puperor, is Gov-arnor of Thorn ; bridges are thrown,
over the Vistula at Marieuburgh and Dirschau.
On the jst of March; the Emperor-having been
inforined that the enemy, encouraged by the position
of our army, had shewn themselves on the right bank
of the ,Passarge, ordered Marshals Nay and SOLI
to advance, reconnoitre, and drive the enemy back.
Marshal NEY proceeded towards Guttstadt ; Mar-
.
shal Sonia. passed the Passarge at Worreditt. The
enemy's posts, -which "retreated with precipitation,
were pursued to the distance of eight league's.
The enemy, observing that the French were not
dined to pursue them any further, and that our force
was merely an advanced guard, that had 'left their
main body ha the rear, brought forward two regiments
of grenadiers, and; in the course of the night, at-
tacked our cantonments at Zechern. The soth Re-
giment received them 'upon the point of the bayonet,
The 27th and 39th Regiments also condu4ed
selves with great courage. In these trifling affairs -
the Russians had nearly 1000 men killed, wounded,-
and made prisoners.
" After having thus disturbed, the erieniy, the
army returned again to its cantonments.
" The Grand Duke of 13sao, being informed that
a corps of cavalry had advanced to Willenburgh, or-
dered the Prince of BORGHESE to attack 'that place,
who, at the head of his regiment, charged eight Rus-
sian squadrons, overthrew, and put them to flight,
making moo prisoners, -including throe Captains and
eight Officers.
" Marshal LEFEBVIIL . has completely ingested
Dantzic. and commenced the lines of circumalla-

Extraordinary, and Plenipotentiary from the Court
of .11.11ssia, we are assured, has been recalled from
this capital.
FROM THE THERM FRONTIER, MARCH 4.—The
Russians continue in 'Moldavia without advancing a
step. In the meanwhile their rapid movements at
ist, and the interest they had in penetrating into
the heart of our province 4„ make it evident that their
present inadion is- much against theirwill. We are
now assured that Prince DOLGORUCKI has arrived in
Moldavia:with a considerable reinforcement, and is
now on the march "for Wallachia: If this latter report
be true, 'the arrival of an enemy's corps, which must
• weaken 'him elsewhere,will be or very little' service,
as the Grand. Vizier will have time to assemble
.his
auxiliaries. •

NAPLES, MARCti B.—On the 14th ult. the Eng-
lish approached the coastof.Montepugano, near Te-
iamo, and seemed disposed to make .a landing but.
,as the Country was under arms, and the • National
Guards watched the threatened places.day and night,
the English thought proper to put to sea'again. The
Administration oz the Commune, willing to.reward
th; young men who turned out on the occasion; of-
fered them pay, which they to a man ,refused.. •
FRANKFORT, MARCH 21.---the reinforcements
for the Grand Army seem to increase rather than
diminish. They are approaching the banks of the
Rhine in all directions, from, Holland to Switzer-
land. From Italy,"we know that several corps have
paSsed through Augsburgh ; and at, present "we hear
that a part of thigarrison,of Brannan, on their march
for. the Grand Army, passed through RatisbOn on
th.e 17th. They will be replaced by other troops.
• - WARSAW, MARCH I. 1 OrisiOns of
