WARSAW, DECEMBER 25.

Prince Joseph Poniatowski, our General-in-Chief
and Minister at War, who distinguished himself in
the last campaign, has been here eight days, and
shews the greatest activity in completing our army.
The regiments which compose the Fifth Corps have
re-entered the Duchy. Twent.y thousand conscripts,
the levy of which was ordered two months ago, daily
arrive at the depots, where ti:ey find their clothing
and arms. Our army will soon be completed ;it has
brought back 30 pieces of cannon, and its horse equil
page, which at first caused astonishment; but it is
explained on what account it was mon fortunate than
the other corps of the Grand Army; our horses were
enured. to the climate ; they were better able to resist
the cold, and their conductors were more accustomed
to take precaut;ons, which tended to their preceru-
don. The demand of 10,000 horses ordered in the
departments tor remounting our cavalry, has been
executed, and the first convoy of remount ha,s already
arrived at the corps.
Our fortresses of Thorn* Modlia, Siereck, ?rags,
and Zamosc, are in very good condition,' and welt
provisioned.
We every day see arrive here a great number of
officers and soldiers. We are assured that the rations
daily distributed from our magazines exceed 410,000.
The remounts for the French army, which are direr.
ted by Major Custori, ace made with success. There

PROCLAMATION PROM THE =MAL CONEEDIIMA,TMOt

OF THE KINGDOM Of POLAND.

Poles !—Lately we demanded sacrifices honk
you, which would have appeared impossible to any
other than you. At the same time, however great,
hoivever painful they might be, they were only call
culated upon the constant success of the victorious
arms of our liberator; *and they are now insufficient.
But you who have sworn to die, or to recover
kingdom which force and tyranny alone Gave torn
from you, you feel as we do; that so long as a single
drop of Polish blood shall run in our veins, we nave •
not done for the country all that we ought to d 0....
Unexpected events, the consequences of the present
war, demand from us this last sacrifice. The dan-
ger a the country, the national honour, duty, our
common oaths, imperiously demand it.
44 To arms, Citizens! It is the country which
calls you ; every thing which is most dear to us is
concerned, viz. this country, of which it is sought to
deprive us, our present existence, and the fate of our
posterity. It is now that this bravery so natural to
you should become the rampart of our frontier, me.
naced by an iniquitous aggressor.
44 Come for a moment to join your valotir tiithat
of our brave soldiers, and let your constancy enable
them to wait the epoch in which the liberator of Po-
land will re-appear among you, to recover, at the
head of a new victorious army, the advantages of
which the rigour of the season has just deprived him.
To arms, Citizens I This cry cannot be 1 stranger
to you—your forefathers have otten heard it! Often
have they sacrificed for ►he country their fortune, their
blood, and their lives ; it is according to the most an-
cient usages, the most respectable constitutions,, the
most holy laws, that you have formed this sacred tie
which binds us all. Now is the moment to pay that
debt which the law has made you contract,
4, You, brave descendants of so many Heroes.
shew yourselves worthy of your ancestors ; prove to
the universe that in inheriting from them these dis-
tinctions, which they so well merited, you have ac-
quired a right to them, by services equally evident.
Rise, generous descendants, of Czarnecke, and act so
that the bond we have just formed for the defence of
our religion, our monarch, aad the national rights.
become as that of Tyszowice's was formerly, the sal-
vation of Poland. Rise, heroes of Lanchorone and
Czenstocan ; retrace those times, when, in the ab-
sence of chosen soldiers—disciplined troops---the

uniting of simple gentlemen, inflamed by patriotism,
supplied the knowledge of the military art by
vere and unceasing discipline ; manoeuvres, by
prudent circumspection • tactics, by a bravery proof
against every thing those times in which that war.
like nobility, armed for the first time, delivered
many battles—battles frequently successful against
that very enemy which menaces our frontiers.
" We give you for Commandant General Prince
Poniatowski, General in Chief of the armed force
that warrior, whose soie name awakens in our he,
all those sentiments which the remembrance
heroes who have done the greatest honour to roisoa
hive always iuspited us with. We rest all our hopes

Trench Papers to the 9th instant have arrived, and
they furnish us with some details from the North.
I They are studiously scanty, it is true, for great
misery is best described in few words, but they fully
confirm all the reports Which have been in circula•
tion, and fulfil, even beyond ,c the letter," all our
predictions as to the fate of that stupendous force
. which was collected against Russia.

There wag a cautious reserve in the 29th Bulletin*
tespetting the futute destination of the broken and
disheartened remains of the Grand Army, We bad
been told in previous details, that liter wete falling
back, or rather, as their friends in this country told
Its, they were making a lateral movement upon their
tnagarines and winter 'quarters at Grodno, Kowno,
and Wilna. We foresavt, from the Russian details,
however, that their armies wete pursuing a course of
operations which would cut off their fugitive enemies
from all Communication with these places, and we
apprized our Readers (vide the STAR of January 5);
that if a handful of the French army was reserved to
relate their sufferings, they must make their way to-
wards Konigsberg, where only they could expect to
enjoy, in the elegant words of their Mager, 4* a few
moments repose !"

At Konigsberg, accordingly, we are told in the ac.
counts before us, King MURAT has arrived. Not a
word of the Grand Army, of which he was Lieute-
nant-General—not a syllable respecting I.lE.tuttnallots,

\te letters from the opposite coast go still

farther—the Russians are said to hare actuAlly en.l
tered Warsaw ; and there is a letter in town from
St. Gall, in Bavaria, which positively states the total
annihilation of the 6th and 7th corps, consisting of the
Bavarian and Saxon confederations. The passage in
the letter alluded to is in these words—" Le: troupe:
de Ravi:re et de Saxe n'existent plus. Ces corps de P armee
alt ete entierensent detruits."

The Polish division, under Prince PONIATOWSKY)
has escaped better than any other of the corps
d'armtle which entered Russia ; for if we can believe
the present - accounts, they have brought back to
Warsaw thirty pieces of cannon. We put some faith
in this article, both for the reasons therein specified,
and for othtrs which we shall now mention.

PONIATOW:PLY seems to have been always a fa-
vourite cavalry Officer, and the very circumstances
of his men and horses being of Polish origin, emi-
nently qualified them for bearing the brunt of the
retreat. They were, accordingly, always in advance
—they came first out of Moscow—they cut their
way through the Russians at Viasma, and they were
seat forward with the Imperial Guards from Smo-
lensko, towards Wilna. That they have arrived at
Warsaw, therefore, in such a condition as to excite
4g astonishment," we are inclined to believe; but is
not this expression of astonishment, a most convincing
proof of the tremendous catastrophe which has over-
taken the invading army ?
Amid all these disasters, defeats, and discomfiturest
their author continues to vapour about his resources!
He has summoned the Legislative Body to meet him
on the Ist of February. New levies are pouring into
the North of Europe, and his armies in Spain are to
be furnished with reinforcements capable of livening
the Peninsula to the French Dynasty. Infamous
charlatan ! Let the Russians and their Allies vigor-
ously follow up the blow which has been struck, and
in six months there will not be a nation in Europe
which will not be in arms against you! Where is
the population--where are the resources with which
you are to support the double campaign in Russia
and Spain, which you threaten ? Recollect, proud
boaster ! that those countries are ho longer the
proper theatres for exhibiting your favourite system
of fraud, plunder, and deception. " War can no

Buenos Ayres Gazette; to 17th October, reached
town this morning. They contain the following im-
portant communication :

" BUENOS AYRES, OCTOBER 16.
4' By a dispatch whisth has just arrived from the
army of Peru, we have received the grateful intelli-
gence contained in the following official letter, which
we hasten to publish for the gratification orthe
American people :

" EXCELLENT SlR—The country may glow in the
complete victory which her arms obtained on the
24th instant, the day of our Nuestra Senora de Mer-
cedes, under whose protection we took seven cannon,
three flags, and one standard, 50 officers, four chap-
lains, two curates, and 600 prisoners-4.00 were kill-
ed.—The cannon and muskets, ammunition, all the
baggage, and even the greater part of the enemy's
equipage are the results of this victory.

44 From the meanest individual in the army, to
those of the highest rank, all behaved and conducted
themselves with the greatest honour and valour. I
have ordered the enemy, who, with the remains of
his army precipitately fled, to be pursued. I will
give your Excellency a more detailed account when
circumstances will permit me.—Gon preserve your
Excellency many years 1"

" BUENOS AYRES, SFPTPVIBER
(PRIVATE LETTER.)
44 Unfortunately discord between the Europeans
and Americans is beginning in Chili, and several of
the former have been imprisoned at St. Jago, on the
charge of real or supposed conspiracy. The Viceroy
of Lima has issued Letters of Marque against vessels
of the United States, on the coast of Chili, and four
have been taken. We do not yet know if this measure
extends to British vessels, which, however, is very
likely, as the trade to the coast of the Pacific has
never been opened to foreigners by any legal autho-
rity, and under this uncertainty it would be running
a great risk to send British ships there.
Goyeneche's troops, to the number of 2400 men,
entered Jugin and Salta on the 24th ult. and are ad-
vancing en Tucuman. We know not the extent of
the force with which he comes, and as 3000 men are
hourly expected from Europe, affairs are drawing fast
toa general result, whichwillprobably re-establish the
tranquillity of the country, and open a communica-
tion with the interior provinces."

and by order of my Court, disavow in the most
authentic form, the correspondence of Capt.. Fleming,
of the ship Standard, which was puAished in the
Buenos A yres Gazetteof the 3d of January of this year,
assuring your Excellency that that officer had no
right to make such declaration, nor to enter upon
such matters, having only been ordered to the eastern

to Europe the commodities wished to be transmitted
thither, either upon the account of Government or
