RETREAT OF THE FRENCH;

STAR OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK.

We have kill received further advices from the
Continent, of a very late date. They furnilh intelli-
gence of very great impartazce indeed, of which we
have only time to give the principal heads.

The head quarters of the French army were about
to be transferred to Berlin, and BONAPARTE was ex-
peeled in that city at the end of IA week. '
General BLUCHER, who has been exchanged for
General VICTOR, was abcut to fet off to take a com-
mand in the Prufßan army.

The Pruthan Infurgents on the right bank of the
Oder are become fo formidable, that the communi-
cation between Stettin and Thorne is almon entirely
cut off. Several corps of French, worn down by
famine and fatigue, among the Tea a considerable
part of OUDINOT'S divifion, are reported to have
laid down their arms.

General BENNICSEN, fubfegnent to the battle of
Eylau, received a reinforcement of fixty thoufand
Regulars, and thirty Pulks of CoifAcc, of five hun-
dred men each. On that memorable occafion, the
Ruffian army, according to the official flatement,
was only feventy thoufand firong. The French
were calculated at one hundred thoufand at leall.

The want of forage is fo great in that part of P,
land occupied by the French, that they have been
under the neceffity of taking the thatch coverings
off the houfes, to (apply their hot fes with pounder.
