GENERAL ORDERS.

" Head-Quarters, Frankliaton, Nov. 19, 1 Me.
44 The Commanding General returns his thanks
to Brigadier-General 1 upper, and the corps wht"
late advanced to the Miami Rapids, for the perse-
verance, zeal, activity, and bravery with which they
conducted themselves on that enterprise. A casual
circumstance only, and one which neither the General
or his men could control, prevented them from sure
prizing and cutting to pieces a detachment of the
enemy, equal in numbers to their own. The mot.
sures.pf Gesseral Tupper appear to have beetakhly
judicious, both in his advance to the enemy, and •
resisting their attacks. The General is sorry tit
any circumstance in an affair which reflects Isom-1
on almost the whole of the troops engaged in
should deserve his censure; such, however, is merited,
by the small detachment( which in the face of a posi.
tive order from their Commander, left their ranks '
gather corn and pursue a drove of hogs. But fi
this disorderly conduct, General Tupper would bin
brought back in safety his whole command. The
Commanding General however, so much mor
to praise than blame, in the conduct of General Tu•
pet's detachment, that he derives no small satisfa...
tion in exhibiting it as a worthy example of milttai
spirit and enterprise to the rest of his army.

" In my report to your Excellency of the 7th inst.
acerning the military events in Arragon, I
you that Colonel Colbert, Commandant of a column
cn the left bank of the Ebro, being attacked by the
1‘hol.: force of Mina, had been obliged to retire as
fg as Zuera, near Saragossa; bat that General Paris;
Commandant of that' city, having tent-him a rein-
forcement, he marched to Huesca, whither it ap.
Feared the enemy had proceeded. In fact, Mini, b 0
V7th Nov. had, with his whole force, made him.
011 master of that city. Captain Couty, of the Bth,
Commandant of the fort, with a detachment of his
regiment, caused him to be reconnoitered by Lftut.
Desbaufs, at the head OF a piquet bf 80 mens This
eetachmebt charged with the bayonet 200 'ltem on
the Coca, put to the :bete and penned then nearly
under Mina's windows, when they rallied froln yll
points to repulse this handfdl Of men% the retreat was
then performed with the greatest say froid, and Isieut.
Desbaufs, although Wounded in five places ht the
arms brought all -his men safe back top Castillo, after
'olving, before the iyes bf the whole poulation, car-
ried terror amongst 16 or 1800 aritied rebels, killed
two of their men, wounded eight, and taken one
hate, with a mule, which carried a piece of artillery.
In th'e evening, and during the whole of the night,
Nina kept up a continual fire on the Castillo% and lit
poured to bring his artillery to bar. On the 28th,
in the morning, he commenced his fire. Commandant
CiZty made every disposition for a good defencel and
retuintd a vigorous answer to a stimmons sent by
3fina. 'thishief perceiving that au attack by Main
force would not succeed against such brave fellows,
and informed of Colonel Colbert's movement, de-
parted in the night, taking his road towards Barbastis.
" On the 2d December, the castle of Ferrol was re-
connoitred by WO infantry and 80 horse, of Villa
Campa. Capt. Motillet, of the 20th of the line, and
Commandant of that place, having seen the enemy's
force, attired a sally to be made by 100 men of the
tarrison, in two columns, who attacked the bridge
and heights occupied by the enemyi he was soon dis-
lodged and put to the route. His cavalry, tndea-
'vouring to charge the left of one of the columns,
commanded by Serjeant-Majer Bulan, wits received
with the fire of his musketry, and two or three shells
from the fort 'bon forced the enemy to take flight,
with the loss of several men killed gild wounded.

" On the 18th rose. General Bertolletti, Common•
dent of Tarragona, atter having secured at that port
a rich English prite (the Vicissitude, of 500 tons).
laden with colonial piciduce, by the intrepid niva-
teer, against all the attempts of the English resolved
on driving from Reuss 1600 men, under Fabregan,
who was every dg strengthening himself, and ap-
infied determined on establishing himself in that
towns Having committed the charge of the place to
Canoe Moth he left it at two hours after midnight,
'at the head of a cohtinn of 600 men, formed ut cho.
sen compantes of the 20th French regiment of the line,
and the 7th Italian of the line, a detachment of the
Royal Choosey% and the necessary artillery luta to
iteifve-ene firth-pounders besidp the ettnpanies of Spa-
nish:mu gramma.
" Having fallen in delth the enemy's adeanced
posts' =of *bid was surprised and killed, Ge-
neral Beni changed his route ; and whilst the
enemy were coming in his front, took poSsesoion of
Reus, to fall on their rear. The ciairknett of the night
did not permit his profiting by that advantage. At
day-break the enemy was in a position behind the se;-
Min:try, on the heights of Castitrel. General Ber-
tolletti again immediately crossed through Reus, at the
far de charge, threw himself on the enemy, made his
dispositions, and attacked him at three points with
used bayonets, without firing a musket. The shock
wino great, fiat our troops, without sustaining any
loss, put the insurgents completely to route, pursued
them without being able to come up with them, and
saw them gain the mountains, leaving behind them
about 60 dead, among whom were tour officers, a
number of wounded, one of whom is an officer, and
upwards of 200 muskets:
" In consequence of this action, the enemy has
t'astained a great desertion. This sally is a fresh
proof of the vigour with which General Bertolletti
always knows how to drive the enemy to a distance
from his place, and to secure, by his good measures,
the defence and provisioning it. I am, &c.

We have already noticed the Cortespondrilg energy
With which Ministers were determined to meet evcry
auspicious indicatioh of the popular reeling in the
North of Europe. We have hoW the satisraccion to

state, that from the vigorous measures about to be
adopted, nothing short of a total distnembertnent
front the #rench Empire of the Northtrn States of
Europe may be expected. The nuke of BaUNSwica

OEI has been among the first to apply for permis-
sion to revisit his native land, and it is said he will

hoist the standard of revolt iA Mecklenburgh and
Pomerania. Several other foreign Officers of dis-
tinction are also preparing tO embark for the same
quarter. We have also heard it staked, that the
young Prince of ORANGE, who has terVed as Aide-1
de-camp to the Marquis of WsumiNorbt4 with ho much:
credit to himself", has been sent for to take a conspi.
cuous shat in the great revolution wllich is now
known to be secretly preparing throughoiit the whole
Continent, for the overthrow of BONAPARTE'S dy-
nasty. The States of Holland are expected fkkrthwith
to follow the example of those of Prussia:

4ii".•11.•.•m••••

The ettracts from the Papers brotlght by the Got-
tenburgh Mail of yesterday, and our ettracts from
the last Paris Papers, furttish Us with but little cir-
cumstantial or detailed statements of the positions of
the Russian or French troops. In reading the Got-
tenburgh or Russian details, however convinced we
must be, that they are strictly true in the main cir
cumstances„ we must, nevertheless, guard ourselves
against that esagpetation which netessatily results
froirrthe eagerness of our Northern allies to witness
the overthrow of French tyranny. On the other
hand, the Paris Papers are now filled With the
grossest falsehoods on the subject of their military
operations in the North. The report of the surrender
of MACDONALD'S corps, received by the way of Got-
ter:!)!lrgh, must allude to the defection of the Prus
.ians. There is still a probability) however, that this
redoubled Marshal of the Grand Army has not been
so fortunate as his brother Satraps. Be this as it may,
after-the revolt of his Prussianh, he could Make no
stand against the overwhelming force which the
Russians could bring against him. MACDONALD
being disposed of, the Grand Army must have been
reduced to AuoentAu's divisions.

One of these, consisting of cavalry, and command.
ed by General Buyastsa, was sent out from Wilna,
on a voyage of discovery) while the Hero was mak-
ing his escape from Smorgonie. From Lord CATH-
CART% dispatches we learn, that BONAPARTE fled on
horseback from Ocksmiany, in disguise,, and with a
few followers. At the next small town, on the road
to Wilna, called Syzemsk, he made a still narrower
escape. No sooner had he alighted and entered a
!miserable ale-housp for refreshMents, than a thousand
candidates for the honour of Miss PLATOFFIS hand
entered the town “ upon the shoulders" of the sacred
squadron. The cry of auk arms 1 a la voitars ! reached
.the ears of the terrified Emperor, arid with that de-
cision which marks the character of your true coward,
he vaulted from the window of a back apartment,
and ran across some fields Upon foot to a strong Bi-
tonac, while nineteen of his Imperial Guards, or
Sacred Squadron, (a' import,. I) allowed themselves
to be cut down at the ale-house door. Bovasratel
division from that moment formed the tear guard,
and succeeded in carryibg off the prize from the
Cossacks.
Beside Botinswes, there were three other divisions
of Anoennau's corps, and they were thus stationed,
Viz. LoisoN's, at Tilsit ; CLAPEREDE'S, on the Preget ;
and BEUDELET% at Danttic. The French Papers
lately informed us, that all these were collected at
Konigsberg f and it appears probable, that by leaving
Vantsic, Gumbinnen, and other posts almost or aim+
gether without defence; MuttAT was enabled to as.,
semble at least two corps (BRUM-n.3 and CRAPE-
ISEDes) in as tolerable condition as the season would
permit. Of Lorsou's) our Cotrespondent furnishes
more particular account. This fellow (whose tame
ought never to be Mentioned without execration, for
his infamous atrocities in Portugal); found it ad-
visable to March on the nth ult. froth Tilsit; for
the purpose of scouring the pusitiOn of Labiaus be-1

L' hardly exchange some Musketry shot with their
guard. I can as yeksay nothing respecting the pl
as I have not had timer to examine it particularl)
but on-my taking a rapid turn round it, I could
ceive that the works were in good condition, and
