44 This morning arrived from Heligoland, the
Diligence of this port, W. FRYER ; previous to their
getting under way (Tuesday last) they boarded a
boat which was from Elbing, a port near Dantsic,
from which they learned, that sums: still favoured
the Russian array—that they had nearly over-run
Poland and Prussia, and were joined by Polish and
Prussian troops in great numbers. It was reported
that HAntburgh would shortly become the mArt for
the Not theta Powers ; and there was great rejoicing
on the Wand of Heligoland when the intelligence
became Inown. Passed this morning a plcket from

have persisted in maintaining, that not a man of the
Confederation troops, who were dragged from their
homes to assist in the sad wotk of the desolation of
Russia, could be depended upon by BONAPARTZ in
the event of a reverse of fortune. No sooner did
MACDONALD appear before Riga,, with the Prussian
contingent in his train, than secret negotiations com-
menced between General Essen and the Prussian
Officers; and 201CAPARTt himself had not crossed
the Duna, when assurances of amicable dispositions
were given by the Commanders of the Austrian con-
tingent, as authorized by their Codrt, to the Russiaa
Generals. Their ...b,equent inaction has confirmed
the sincerity of their friendship. We bring these facts
again before our Readers, because we have no doubt
whatever that the Revolt of the Prussians will_be fol-
lowed by a still more formidable blow at the Mon-
strous system under which Europe has groaned for
many years.
The terror with which the French Ruler has been
struck, on this occasion, cannot be concealed even by
the masterly chicane of the Editor of the No/akar.
He calls the Senate hastily together, frightens them
as to he security of their own ill-aequ:red honours
and possessions, and then extorts a Decree for a new
• levy of 530,000 men ! He thus openly crnfesses that
his army in the North has been annihilated. He has
the matchless pi*smption to detuttld a new army,
ostensibly for a mar campaign against Rdssia. Its
operations, howeirtv, if it ever takes the field, will be
confined to the frontiers of Trance and her immediate

the Northward, with Mails, and as the wind was

boats were launched, we could not learn where she
was from."

gs A courier has just arrived from St. Petersburgh,
and is said to bring intelligence that on the 10th ult.
the Russians entered Wilna, taking in and before that
place eight Generals, 398 officers, 94,330 privates,
385 cannon, two colours, six eagles, and the whole of
the magazines. The Niemen is believed to be impas-
sable. Macdonald's corps is surrounded, and it is
hoped will be obliged to surrender. The Emperor has
left Petcrsburgh for Wilna."

KA UTOUZUFF TO HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, DAVID
" Beuzlns, eats Nov. (2d Dee.)
gi In my preceding Report, I had the honour to ac-
quaint your Imperial Majesty with my arrival at Ba-
betowetsche, where I discovered the corps of Count
Wittgenstein, and established a communication be-
tween him and the main army. In the mean time, I
acted on the enemy's flank, and almost at the same
moment on his vanguard, from Orcha to Boressoff.
By our repeated attacks the enemy found difficulties
at every step, and I took in different affairs three Ge.
nerals, 73 Staff and other Officers, and 5929 rank and
file, and killed of course as many.
" Near Boressoff I joined Count Wittgenstein, and
by his orders I act and defend his right flank. I
have taken to the right of the Beresina, from whence
I hope to cut off the mad from the enemy, in order
to have no difficulties in crossing the Beresiaa, and
to be before him on the road to Weleika.
44 On my arrival in Lepel, 1 was informed by the
inhabitants that a strong corps of the enemy, under
the command of General Wrede, was in Dokeheu.—
I immediately sent out a strong vanguard under the
command of Lieutenant-Colonel Tillenborn, to re-
connoitre him ; and he reported that the enemy, the
moment he perceived our troops, retired on the road
to Weleika, probably with the intention of joining the
main army.
46 I this moment am going to march in pursuit of
him. Having joined Count Wittgenstein, I shall of
course now remain under his orders, according to the
directions rofeived from the Conimander-in-Chief."

The Russians are at this moment rapidly advan-
-ting Into the heart of Europe, carrying all before
theta they have driven MACDONA LD (the only
French General in Russia whose corps was entire)
across the Itiemen, for it was during his rapid re•
treat that the Prussians deserted him. We ate not
afraid of the charge of exaggeration, if we now esti-
mate the total loss of the French in the late ruit.ous
campaign, at 300,000 men.— How much more they
have lost in popularity, in reputation for military

skill, and in finances, time will chew.
To retrieve his shattered fortunes, all that BONA-
PARTE Can do, is to call out for service Ilya the
frmtiert,.loo,ooo men, the remaining 250,000 are to
protect France. With the disposition manifested by
the Prussian and Austrian Generals, with evidence
before us of the total inability of Saxony, Bavaria,
Wirtemberg, Italy, nay even Poland, to supply fresh
contingencies, is it possible that a fresh campaign
can be commenced against Russia ? again we say that
se deadly has been the wound inflicted upon France
by her wanton aggression upon Russia, that twenty
years even of war in moderation will not repair it !
Her means tf malting war both prtroaa/ and material
WO annihilated—the once potent leader of her ar-
mies has been stripped of the magic of his name—
the spin is dissolved—and he now stands before the
world a recorded coward and deserter—a defeated,
disgrteeth incapable General !

We refer our Readers to the extracts from the Paris
Papers 'with infinite delight—the fermentation has

tray of anticipated ruin !
