Again we have to announce the arrival of saris
hers. They are to the 10th inst. being one day later
than those received yesterday. They containno official
details respecting the Grand Army; and the intelli-
gence they afford is, as usual, scanty: In an article
dated LeipLick, December 30, we are informed, that
the Army was behind Kowna:" the Duke of tA.
RENT., (IvrAcDONAL,D), at Tilsit, with the 10th Corps
Prince SCHWARTZNBERG, with the Austrians, at
Grodno ; and General REYNIER, at Brew. The last
three corps composed no part of the army which
crossed the Duna ; and whatever portion of it escaped
has been driven behind (i. e. out of) Kowna. But we
have our doubts whether a single individual of that
immense force is now bearing arms ; for why should
MUItAT (the Conimander-in-Chief) and other Officers
visit Konigsberg, while the army of which they were
left in charge was in such perilous circumstances?—
?a fact, private letters from Paris, to the 12th, thrinv
some farther light on this business ; for the writers
distinctly state, that MURAT and many French °leers
had arrived at Katigslserg as prisoners, upon parole!
the whole remains of their army having surrendered
at discretion, on the road from Smorgonie to Walla,
which last place the Russians have entered in grea'
force. Nay, the article froth Dantzic sheen that
even Tilsit and Konigsberg are threatened ; for why
should the garrison of Dantzic be put into such a statt
of alarm, while Tilsit is occupied by MACDONALD,
with 30,000 men, and Konigsberg defended by tin
invincible King of NAPLES and HEUIR.LET'S diViSiol-
- 3000 French troops ?

snore complete and unequivocal than that which ha
dispersed the foul congregation of vapours Which de.
solated Russia. The private accounts from Paris
state, that thousands and tens of thousands were
found by the Russians in the road from Borisow to
Wilna, frozen to death, or doubled up together in
hundreds, as a last effort to protract for a few hours
their miserable existence. With the exception of Po-
NIATCAVSKY, and the remains of his sea:timed brigade,
:vhich have entered Warsaw, there is not a human
being; net even a horse, which is now able to move
a limb in the service of the GREAT EMPEROR, who,
but for the Russians, would have been the Dictator
of the World I
When such have been the perils of the invading
7.rmy, how miraculous must have been the escape of
,!s Leader, and how great must have been his con-
tempt for his unfortunate followers, and for the opi-
'ions of mankind, if he supposed that his desertion at
Itch a crisis can ever be forgiven !
There are several articles in these papers which
,ly threats of a renewed campaign in Russia.—
illoa;!eur, however, lays the scene of BONA..
,res future military glory in Spain. Be this as
lay, his hands arc likely to be quite full of business
the spring. Notwithstanding the boastings of his
slings on the Continent, however, and of his ad-
.ers in this country, he has no longer the means of
intaining a contest at the Northern' and Southern
4emfties of Europe. and may we not expect, as a
alt of dextrous negociations at Vienna, that Aus-
• will threaten the Eastern frontiers of his Empire.
Combined with the operations to which we have
;w alluded, we believe we can state with certainty,
it it is in contemplation to barrass the coast of
~ante, during the ensuing spring, by flying expe-
l:ons, consisting chiefly of the Russian Navy now
our harbours, and their opetations will be directed
British Officers, supported by such of our ships
war as are best adapted cot the service.

STAR-OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK.
Letters have been received this morning from
Hamburgh, by the Mail from Heligoland, which
state, in the most positive and unqualified terms,
that the French Army capitulated near Wilna, and
that the whole of the Officers surrendered, on condi-
tion of being allowed to return to their homes) not
to serge during the war.

The following article has been sent to us for inser-
tion t'..J4 A paragraph appeared in a Morning Paper
of yesterday, and was afterwards copied into the STAR
and other Papers, attaching considerable consequence
to the PRINCE REGENT'S journey to Windsor on Mon•
day, and intimating that it was supposed to be in con-
sequence of another paroxysm of the KING. After
considerable pains in making inquiries as to the cor-
rectness of its it has been found to be very erroneous.
A communication was sent from the Princess CHAR-.

Lams of WALES, on Sunday, from Windsor, to the
PRINCE Ronan, by one of her Royal Highness's foot-
men, who arrived in town about half past two o'clock.
A groom of the QuEr.m's was also sent off from
Windsor with letters to the PRINCE, who arrived in
town on the same afternoon about five o'clock. There

was no other communication to the PRINCE during
that day or night from Windsor; but in fact there is
no importance to be attached to this mode of cor-
responding by the Royal Family, as but few days
pass without such a circumstance taking place.
4, At a late hour on Sunday night, the PRINCE RE-
GENT sent to the LORD CHANCELLOR, at his house

in Bedford-square, commanding his Lordship's a-
tendance upon his Royal Highness early in the
morning. Accordingly his Lordship was at Carl.
ton House by ten o'clock, and set off with the PAINCE
REGENT at about a quarter before eleven, in his tra-
velling carriage, for Windsor, where they arrived at
one o'clock, as we stated in our Windsor letter on
' Monday, and not before nine o'clock, as the para-
graph stated. The business they went upon, we
have every reason to believe, was not any thing rela-
tive to the KING, but quite of a different nature"
The Duke of Sussex is better. But his complaint
(a spasmodic asthma) is exposed to vicissitudes that
are very violent and sudden. In this attack, too,
there have been some symptoms additionally bad,
and quite hew in their species as well as violence of
degree. The QUEEN, who was then at the Duke of
CRWRRIDGEIS, directly added Dr. BAILLIE to the con-
sultation of the Duke of SUSSEX'S other Physicians.
Yesterday morning the Earl of LIVERPOOL had an
audience of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House.

Yesterday a numerous meeting of the Ship-builders,
&c. of the Port of London was held at the City of
London Tavern ; and several ltemlutions were en-
tered into, expressing a determination to support the
renewal of the East India Company's Charter.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
Eist "India House, when Captain C.W. BUTLER was
sworn into the command of the William Pitt, des-
tined-to Madras and Batavia.
It iS Captain HOTHAM, of the NORTHUMBERLAND,
who destroyed the two French frigates at the en-
-ranee of L'Otient, that is appointed Captain to the
fleet under Sir J. B. WARREN.
A large supply of stores, for the fleet under Sir J.
B. WARREN, is to be sent immediately in the Pre-
voyante store-ship, from Portsmouth.
It has been ascertained by Government that Com-
modore RODGERS.iS now, or was very lately, off the
Azores. It was for the purpose of intercepting him
hat the ELEPHANT, of 74 guns, (one of the fastest
„tiling 74's in the service), and the HERSIES, com-
minuted by that most active officer Captain BROWNE,
were sent out. The THESEUS, Captain BROWN, and
the —, of 74 guns each, with the NIESIEN, have
again sailed from Portsmouth on the same errand.
The latter are to cruize off the Azores for a little
time, and have orders to run down all the latitudes
between them and the shores of the Chesapeak.
By accbunts from St. Helena, brought by the
Whalers which sailed from thence on the tenth of
November, we learn, that up to that time no advice
had reached that plate, of war having broken out
with America.
An account has been received at LLOYD'S, that
three strong American privateers, mounting from
18 to 20 guns, and whose crews amount to about
170 men each, were cruizing near the island of Fer-
nandez de Nohrons, with a view of intercepting some
of our East Indiamen, either outward or homeward
bound. We trust their object has ere now been frus-
trated, by the vigilance of some of our frigates on
the South American station.
A Gentleman, conversant in the politics of Ame-
rica has suggested to us, that the writer of the inter-
cepted letter to JOEL BARLOW, is Mr. FULTON, the in-
ventor of the Steamboat, but better known as the
original projector of the Catamaran scheme, for the
invention of which he endeavoured to obtain a reward
from the British, Frenchi aid American Govern-
ments. The person alluded to in the letter, under
the feigned name of Babasidie, is perhaps Mr. BAR-
LOW himself ; the words Baba and Sidie being both
Moorish terms of affection or respect, not improbably
applied to Mr. BARLOW; in reference to his long resi-
dence as Charge d'Affaires at Tunis.

Friday last some of the prisoners at the Perth
depot were detected in an attempt to effect their
escape. They had begun an excavation from one of
the necessaries, and atter piercing a thick wall, had
carried their mine laterally about five yards. Five
of them were found at work, and were pet into close
confinement. A deduction will, as usual, be made
from their stated allowance; equal to the expence of
repairing the damage..
