important in its confevences ; yet no battle was ever

ytt of fo little advantage to either. On the Bth, the

entire a want of proviii acs, that Lieutenant Gerte•
ral Von lienniafen was deprived of the means of re.
cwirtg the engagement on the Following day. He
rcflrlved the, clot e to furniflr Martell fink wi:h the
evirite ammuhit;nn ; and, a; the enemy had, on
rare preceding day, evinced the intention of attacking
bioninglberg with his left wing, he deemed it pru-

his, army a little towards the town, in older to keep
open the Communication with it, fo important for the
receipt of lupplies, again(( the attacks of the fcour-
ing parties of the enemy. The right wing of the
F. circh army withdrew on the evening after the en-
gagement, ten leagtes from the field of battle. The
left wing kept its pofition, and thus affrirded the re.
tnAining troops time to cone& themfelves.
FEBRUARY 14.—At this inflant the following intel-
lizenee is juft arrived from Prince Bagrathion, to
tieiitenan* General Von Bennigfen he French
prrpofed to turn to-day the left wing of our pofition,
and had already pn(hed forward the avant garde as
far as Guttenfeld ; but here they met with fo good a
reception horn the Hetman Platow, and Prince Bag-
rathion, that 500 men were taken prifoners. The
Rnflian polls are now advanced again into the neigh-
boorhood of Friedrichs-flein.
FEE. 2 I The column of Ruffian priforers thatwere
liflerated in the neighbourhood of Willenherg, by a
(cOadron ref Ruffian dragoons, were to have been
conreved front Thorn to Strafburg. When theft men
were fait taken, they were (tripped by the French of
the belt they had, and at leng)h the Ruffian Officers
were even compelied to pull off their hoots, and
give them to the French. But what can he ex-
when even their Generals encourage this
conduit ? When the Pruflian Lieutenant Tudeman
complained to Marlhal Ney, that his foldiers had cut
the !;::tons off his coat, he told him he fright think
}timid; happy they did not take coat and all. There
prifoners were a!fo feveral days withotit Stead, were
grofsly abnfid, and fubjefted to ill ufage of all kinds.
Several of the poor fellows, unable through fatigue
to keep up with the French, were put to death—
twenty two Ruffians, and two Pruffian fufileers, were
murdered io this manner by the troops that efcorted
them. On the other hand, the condua of the Ruf
flans, every where (Tied down by the French for their
crock y, has been in molt cafes uncommonly humane
and generous.
22.. .—The corps of General Sicimoratz has
effefled a junflion with General Bennigfen's army.—
He brought with him about 1400 Pr Lillian and Come
lkoflian prironers, as well as the two or 300 French
I.y whom they were guarded. Bonaparte's retreat

owing to the fpeed of the Coflack horfes that lo
t•r.iny p:ifoners arc daily made. Within thefe three
drys 750 feveral Officers, and a quantity
of waggons and forage, have been brought in. At
the figh: of: the Ruffians, detachments of French, ex-
liaurled by fatigue and famine, throw down their
Prms. The Ruffian advanced guard is already
at

Vi!lula, and in a fhort time, it v.ill be feed on the
other fide of that river.
Fzittuarty 23.—Pruill.in Eylau has filtered all the
horrors of war within a fhort period. It was floured
three times fucceflively by the Ruffians, and the
French' do iv en out. After the battle, this unfortunate
place spas repeatedly plundered by the French; and
even the Eirperol's own refidente, where he had his
heat' quarters, did not etcape, and the greaten dit-
order was committed in his pretence, What he either'
could, cr welder not put a (trp to it. His ha; a
poor Man, coming to complain of the hard fate of
Limfelf and his.neighbours, received a prefent of no
more than i?. Frederick's d'or.
The fitirrnifhes which preceded the retreat of the
Trench army, and the frequent flags of truce fent in
l tiler.), gave fufficient indications of their defign.
In all thefe fleirmifhes, the Isravery of our troops de.
f-trves notice, and only tended to eflablifh the firperi.
ity of out light troops over thole of the enemy.—
We gained conliderable advantages on the 1401, at
I;orcherfdorf, and on the 15th at Mansfield 1- and on

lots, we rHained great advantage:.

MEMEL, FEBRUARY 18. •
The enemy is retiring in all direEtions, grid is pur-
Ned by our light troops. All our intelligence, and
deferters likewile, con(rm the account of the enemy's
retreat. According to the latter, the want of proVi-
lions, in conjunEtion with the imprcffion made upon
them by thelofs of the battle, has nude a very deep
impteffion upon the minds of the French army.—
They defect in parties of forty or fifty at a time.—
Napoleon has ufed every engine in his power to
deceive them as to the Me of the battle of Eylau.
Their lots, according to their own account, was 30,000
men, and 8000 hones. That is what they now freely
confefs to each other, and this increafes their dejec-
tion.

DANTZIC, MARCH 2.
Various accounts which have been received, agree
that the difiatisfaftion which prevails in the French
army has become general, and has rifen to loch a
pitch, that even the officers loudly complain of their
lituation, openly faying, that they are everlaftingly
deceived with the vain hopes of a peace.

Government received yellerday difpatches from
Lord DOUGLAS at Peterfburgh. They confirm the
accounts of the facceffes of the Ruffian army. The
Emperor ALEXANDEK is fatisfied that he has no
caufe to regret the refult of any of the conffias his
troops have had with the enemy.

In the preceeding columns, we have kid before
our readers a number of interefting particulars, re-
fpeaing the proceedings of the contending armies,
which the length of the debates in Parliament pre.
vented us from inferting yelterday.

Froth the complexion of all the accounts, it Can-
not be doubted, that fince the battle of Eylan, the
French have been in the greateft difirefs, harafred
daily by the Ruffians, and almon Ilarving far want of
provifions ; but, by comparing all the details, it does
not appear, that there has been any general adion
fince that time, the French doing every thing in
their power to avoid one, though fome of the ikir-
mifbes have been moll bloody.

Nutwithflanding the repeated affertions and bulle-
tins that have appeared in the German Papers, of the
French having beat the Ruffians at Eylau, it is ad-
mitted in every private letter, even from thole places
that are in the power of the enemy, that another fuch
battle would have annihilated the French army ; but
the Ruffians had neithei provifions nor ammunition
left for another day, and were therefore obliged to
draw towards their magazines—and which there was
the greater neceffity of doing fpeedily, as the French
were in a worfe fituation than thetnfelves, in point of
provifions, and, flimulaterl by defpair, might have
made fome bold attempt to get between them and
their fupplies.
One letter, which we have received from a moll ref-
peEtable quarter, (fates that the battle of the Bth was
undertaken by the Ruffians ander many difadvan.-
tages, their force not exceeding 80,000, while that.of
the enemy was about 150,000: but the fate of the
Ruffian magazines depended on the refult. The
letter, after fome preliminary Matter, proceeds thus :
~ L, FFBRUARY 59.
" NAPCLEnN'S griat plan to brea the centre of
the Ruffian army, and get pofTeflion of Koningfberg,
with all the immenfe magazines of the Pruflian and
Ruffian armies, &c. has been baffled by the cool re-
folution of Genetal BENNEGSEN, and the heroic con
rage of the brave General PErroco with 12,000 Pruf.
flans. All the force of the French wasbettt againtt the
centre ; the attack on the wings being only meant as
maths to the grand defign. Brtnatostrr, aware of
' this, had collated likevae all his force, and an im-
merife artillery, particularly in the center. Five
times the French attacked with incredible fury, but
were alsiFiye repulfed with immenfe lots by the
Ruffians, who flobd like. an impenetrable wall. Upon
this BONAPARTE made a fpeech to his Garde d'Elite,
and Fort:mired they fhould plunder Koningfberg for
