RXTRACT oi, A PRIVATE LETTER FROM witqA,

DATED ItTH JULY.

"'Already anti separated GOO leagues from you,
and am ignorant what greater distance may
'still be placed bet'veen us. Those in Europe
who believed that Russia had premeditated-,
to retire without fighting, in order to draw'nl.
into her deserts-, have been strangely mistaken;
1,0- army extended to all points of Russian- Po-,
land, and the Emperor ALEXANDER was etjoying
fetes at Wilna : can the very day
,we passed the
Niemen, when-he learned„ with the utmost asto-
nishment, of 'the passage of this river, he was
at a hall given him by General. BENNIGSEN,
at his_ magnificent castle in the .environs of
Vilna. It was, therefore, the rapidity of thet
march of the French Army, and the harmony. 4
of its movements, to which are owing the so'
.spcedy conepte,t of Lithuania.
