thoufand infantry, two fquadrons of cavalry. and rat pieces of
cannon, in order to carry a redoubt thrown up by General Duras
This redoubt, which was open, without palifades and without
cannon, was defended by a company of Voltigeurs, of the sEth
regiment of the line The !inn:tore fuperiority of the enemy hal
no effect upon thefe brave men, being reinforced by a company of
Voltigcurs, of tl-e 4th of the line (Light Infantry), under Captain
Barrel, they refitted all the attempts of the SwediOx ifrigade
Fifteen Swediffi fuldiers reached the parapet, but there found tilde
death. All the enemy's attempts were equally fruitlefs. Sixty
two dead bodies of the Swedes were buried at the foot of the re
doubt. It is fuppolcd that :so were wounded, and so were ni de
prifoners, though there were not more than iso men in the redoubt.
Several Sweilifh Officers were found among the dead. dittinguioted
by their military decorations This inflance of bravery has at.
traded the Emperor's attention. Ks Nl..jefty has fent three orders
of the Legion elf Honour for the companies engaged. Captain
Drivet, who commanded on this weak redoubt, highly dillin-
guithed himfelf.
" the acth, hlarfbal Lefebre ordered the brigade ut der Ge-

morning. The Prufflans were routed, and 300 of them fell into
our hands.
" At fix in the evening, the garrifoo of Dantzic Pent out a de-
tachment of eoco men to retke the pot; but they were mulled,
with the lots of tome hundreds of prifoners, and one piece of can-
non. Gineral Schraans had under his command the ad battalion

" The winter in Poland teems to have resembled the winter at
Paris, that i. to fay, variable. It freezes and thaws in alternate
fueedlion. However, we have the good fortune not to have any
lick in the army. On the contrary, all accounts agree that the
Ruffians have a great number of tick. The army remains tranquil
in its cantonments. The works which compote the the: du pot of
.Sierock, Modlin, Prep, Marlcnburg, and Marienwerder, arc
every day becoming more formidable • and tbe magazines arc or-
ganized, and are every where _receiving provinces*. Three bun•
dred thoufand bottles of Bourdeauz wine were bend at Elbing-r
and though each bottle colt 4 francs, the Emperor paid that price
to the Merchants, and ordered the wine to be diftributed among
the army.—The Emperor has Cant the Prince Borgbefe upon a

REPORT OF THE SIMMER OF WAR. TO HIS &SWETT
THE EMPEROR AND KING:
N Imperial Wad-quarters at Ofterode, Much fp.*
gg Sire—Never were your armies fo numerous, to
well chfciplitied, and organized as at prefenr. •
gg The .'enalu, Cmjihum of Sept. as, 1895, had put
So.coo of the Cf.nfzription of I 806 under the dirporal
of Government. That of the 4th of December laft
h..s ordered the calling out of an equal number of
Ct nrcripts for 1807.
" There men, amounting to ific,ooo, are already. .
affembled under their tefpeelive colours. I cannot
, but bear the molt honourable teftimony to the aEti-
vity of the Prefeels, and the good conduit of the Re-
cruiting Officers, and the Gendarmerie, not to men.
tinn the loyalty uranifefted on this occafion by the s
,t 4
Empire at large.
4' But, Sire, notwithflanding this general union of "
ull fentiments and opinions, we are not to conclude
..
that Your Majefty's armies are at prefent more • Mi.'
merous by 160,000, than they_ were at the period of
the commencement of the Fourth Coalition.
" Since the tft of September the annual reviews
have doled, and in confequence of the double infpec-
tion which your Majefty had ordered, We have beet'
in a frtuation to pick out and difniifs thole .old fol.
diers who had fulfilled the period al their engage-
matt, and who, of tootle. had a right to the reward
of their-fervices, and more erpeciaßY on .account -of •',
the honourable wounds they had received. In this
manner re,ooo men have been difcharged. 'The -
men, which an army fo numerous as your Najd?'
has loft by ficknefs, and who have fallen uponthe
field of battle, for inaance, in the battles of &Mena
and Saalfeld, Jena, and in the affairs of Prentzlo*,
Golymin, Lubeck, Patna, Bergfried, and Hoff, an 4
in the battle of Eylau ; and chore whom I have been
obliged to fend to the depots. in order that they sqy
be difcbarged.after the firft hapeaion, have alto been '
the cattle of a dccreaft of 14,000 men. The real in•
.
creak, therefore, Sire, of your military force, does
not exceed t 30.000 men. At the conclufion of the
war of the Third. Coalition, your Majefty had fine,
numerous, and formidable armies, and this clnfidera-
ble increafe 'has rendered them Rill finer, more nu.
merous and formidable.'
" The army of Italy, which your Majelly-bac all
.1 fembled in Frioul, in the phis' of Brefci., TAre(Pnel

130ffano, and Aletatultia, is the *.I terpeaahte that
France ever had in that quarter. No detachment
has been fent from that army to join the Grand
Army in Poland. Come cavalry excepted, and which
has fince been replaced by others, in confequence of
your Majefiy's decree to double the number of your
cavalry.
Is The army of Dalmatia has Coffered by ficknefs,
which has been put a (lop to by the return of the
fide weather. Its lodes have been repaired, and the
depots in Italy are numerous.
44 The army of Naples has received tomoo Con-
fcripts drawn from the depots, feveral of which have
been ellablithed in your MajeAy's Italian States.
" The vieteries of the Grand Army have covered
the frontiers along the Rhine ; thefe frontiers are
covered by a fecond line of the Army of Referve,
under the command of Martha' Kellerman.
44 The Corps belonging to the Camp of Boulogne,
filled up by the confcnption of 1807, defend the
Islorthern coatis of France, againft all attacks from
the enemy.
" Your Majefiy has given orders to form three
Camps ; at Sr. Loo, at the City of Napoleon, and in
La Vendee, for the fafety of the coatis of Brittany,
Normandy, and Gascony. We are occupied in the
execution of your Majefty's commands.
“ The Grenadiers and Yagers of the National
Guards, belonging to the departments of Gironde,
the Lower Seine, and the Rhine, contribute towards
the fafety of the interior.
64 In this flotation of affairs, and in obedience to
your Majeay's commands, I fubmit to your Majefly
the neieffity of calling out the Conferiptiln of 1808,
and to form them into five legions of Referee, for the
defence of the interior. Your Majelly had given me
to underftand, that, betides this line of camps, and
this union of the National Guards, you wished to have
a triple referve, to fecure your territory againft any
plan of hoitile attack whatever. Your Majelly fur-
ther °braved, that the camps of Boulogne, St. Loo,
the City of Napoleon, and La Vendee, found employ-
ment for a great number of the old battalions, who,
betides, would be in a condition for fervice elfewhere,
as it might be required, and that your coasts would
be ftiffieiently proteled by the National Guards, and
the new legions of referve.
44 Sire, this prudent forefight is wiry thy of the Chief
of a great Empire. and a great. General ; one, who
though continually attended by vittory, I have con-
Randy feen carefully adopting every meafure calcu-
laced to repair the confequencec of a defeat. When
your Majefty advanced and obtained the vielory of
Jena, I received your commands to provifion the
fortrelfes on the Rhine, just as if our own frontiers
bad been threatened by the enemy.
But however weighty there confederations may
be, there is Bill one which is not lefs worthy your
Majefty's heart. According to the ufual eourfe of
things, the Confcripts of tBoB Ihould be called out
within the limit of fix months, and alTembled under
their respective colours. Confequcntly they would
have to endure the pain of long marches and heavy
fatigues ; but now your Majefty's goodnefs conde.
(tends to inure them infenfibly to the fervice ; for
being called out fix months before the Confcription
of 1808 was expected, they will have an opportu-
nity of learning the ufe of arms in our fortreffes, in
Our own fields, and even in the heart of their Own
Country.
" In confequence of another of your Majefty's
determinations, in which, aEtuated by the love of your
people, you have entrulled the training of the young
men to perfons diftinguifhed by their tank, and the
Cervices they have performed for the State, your
Majefiy, of courfe, has confided the command of
the Legions of the Interior and the Referve to the
Members of the Senate—men who had before dif-
tinguifited themfelve by their military (kill and cou-
rage. There are the fathers of the country, who will
Loutith and intim& her children. Their honourable
experience (hall open the career of the French youth
iu the paths of glory.
" Thefe advantages, Sire. muft have determined
yoor Majelly to call out the Confription for the year
ifioB.
“ One objeaion, Sire, may be made againft the
motives which have prefcribed this meafure to your
Majefty ; that is, the increase cf thes expenditure
which it will oecafion. But your Majefty's finances
are in the nit:oft flourifiting fituation. Your Majettyts
good conclu&, in providing extraordinary means for
extraordinary meafures, hat prevented the neceftity
of laying any hat burdens upon your people ; and
without requiring any.frefh facrifices from them, your
Majeity will be able to anfwer every claim that your
own glory and the fafety of-the country can require.
