PRAGUE, NOVEMBER 29.

The two first divisions of the the two hussar regi-
ments of the Austro-German 'region, under the orders
of their chief, Major• General Count 13entheini, passed
tin °ugh here on the 25th, on their route to the
army. Field-Marshal Couiit Collowrath went on
horseback to meet them, and accompanied them to the
gate called Reictisthor, where they defiled before him.
These two regiments quitted the Westphalian ser-
vice in the month of September, to come under the
Austrian colours. They were the first who shook off
a foreign yoke, and who gave to their German bro.
thers the great example of fighting for liberty and
independence. Their fine appearance and martial.air
were much admired.

BULLETIN OF THE CROWN PRINCE.

" On the 16th, the Pr rice Royd quitteai Hanover,
' and. arrived at Bremen on the 17th in the morning ;
on the `.:Otli his Royal Highness arrived at Celle; on
the 22d, at Ueltzen : en the 23d, at Lunebourg ;
and ) esterday here.
The Swedish army has passed the Elbe ; Mar-
shal Count de Stedingk, with his Etat Major, and
the first brigade, is at Boitzenburg ; the other Swe-
dtsh brigades in the environs.
66 The corps of Lutzen haS passed the Elbe with
the Swedish arm.
44 General Bulow's advanced guard, commanded
by General Oppen, has made a movement upon
the Yssel, and has been, since the 23d, at D,,es-
bourg. General Bulow, with the rest of his army,
is on the banks of the Rhine, and the frontiers of
Holland.
64 At the attack of Doesbourg, a great part of the
gatrison was cut to pieces. The approach of night
prevented tl.e exact number of prisoners from being
known ; but when the report was sent off, 200 had
been reckoned, including a Commandant and five
Oitcets. The capture of Docsbourg does great
honour to General Oppen, by the wisdom of his dis-
positions and the vigour of his attack.
" All the Duchy of East Friesland is delivered
from the enemy. At Embden, Auriein and through-
,. tit the country, the Prussian troops have been re.
ved with great marks of satisfaction.

46 Major Elswangen has got possession of Zwoll,
and made two officers and several gene-d'armes
prisoners.
6' The Cossacks of Colonel Narishkin have taken
the town of Canpen, and made one Colonel, five
Officers, and twenty-five Bens-d'armes, and eighty
infantry, prisoners.
" Groningen has been taken by the troops of Ge-

800 men were made prisoners.
Deputies from Groningen and other Provinces

;pa rejoice At it.
" The ft its of Carlsburg and Blinn have been
uken by a Russian detachment commanded by Co-
}mei Riedinger, seconded by an English brig under
the orders of Ca?tain y.:3u4r. Twcaty Officers,

334 sub.olficers and soldiers, and 50 pieces of
non, were taken.
fis The navigation of the Weser is free.
" Stade, strong by the marshy ground in-the midst
of which it is situated, was occupied by a numerous
garrison. The Comme.dant had caused all the
dykes (one excepted) to be cut, and in consequence
of the inundation, Stade seemed placed as it were in
the midst of a sea. Count de Strogonof, however
,undertook to attack it. The troops advanced with
intrepidity along the only remaining dyke, under a
cross fire from the place, and arrived at a bridge
which the enemy had destroyed. Impelled by their
courage, and the ardour of mountiiig. to the assault,
several officers and soldiers rushed into the fosse,

where Count de Rostignaik, Chief of the regiment
of Saarlow, and the Officer who commanded the
head of the column, perished. Notwithstanding this
example, it required all the General's authority to
prevent the soldiers from continuing the attack.—
The garrison, however, fearing a renewal of the en-
terprize, evacuated the town during the night, and
embarked for Gluckstadt, where they were received
by the Danes. On the same night General Strogo.
noff entered the town, and found in it three pieces
of cannon, and a great number of killed and wound-
ed. The loss he sustained may amount to about
two hundred men ; that of the enemy was very con-
siderable.

44 Lieutenant-General Count de Woronzow, who
since the 22d, has had his head-quarters at Winsen,
has surrounded Harburgh.
a Notwithstanding the superiority in number of
the enemy's troops who passed the Elbe at Zollen-
spicker, Lieutenant-Colonel Lowenstern, forming
part of the corps of Count de Woronzow, drove them
back, killed 100 of them, among whom 'were two
Officers, took two pieces of cannon, and made more
than 40 prisoners.
a Lieutenant Jacobson, of the corps of General
Woronzow, attacked with 100 Cossacks, two squa-
drons of Horse Chasseurs, of the garrison of Horne.
burgh, and after havinz killed 20 men and made 30
prisoners, took possession of the town.
" Stettin has capitulated. The conditions are—
that the garrison shall surrender prisoners of war on
the sth of December, if not relieved before that pe-
riod.

" The German troops which were in Magdebirrgh
have been permitted to return to their homes, under
the condition of not serving against France before the
term of °ire year. The garrison is badly provisioned,
and the soldiers arc discontented.
" GenerA Narbonne, Governor of Torgair, is
dead. General Dutaillis, who replaces him, and three
other Generals, are dangerously ill of the epidemlcal
fever which prevails in the town, and which daily
canies off a great number of victims.
" Marshal St. Cyr has capitulated, and Dresden
is in the possession of the Allies.
44 Thus, with the exception of some strong places,
which are about to be attacked, the whole country
between the Elbe and the Rhine is delivered from the
enemy. All the inhabitants are arming themselves,
and Germany will soon present the spectacle of an
entire people aimed for the protection of their inde-
pendence.
" The free Hans TGien of Bremen has resumed
its ancient constitution. It must be expected that the
sister cities of Harnburgh and Lubeck vAll soon enjoy
the same happiness.
" According to recent intelligence, a melancholy
despair reins among the unhappy citizens of Ham-
burgh. 'I he soldiers are tired of the war, and desire
to return to their families. The Bank has been car-
ried off, and thus a public crime has been committed.
The pi incipal inhab tants are forced to work at the
fortifications, and their labour is continued during the
night as well as the day.
" All 'the trees of Wilheltnsbourg have been cut
_down, and the bridge built by the French between
that island and Hamburg!' is destroyed.
" In pursuing the noble object of all its efforts,
that of a general peace, the Army of the North of
Gel many could not permit an enemy's force to be
cantoned upon its communications.
66 Germans by origin and language, the inhabi-
tants of Holstein ought to rejoice in the liberty which
has just been restored to their fellow-countrymen;
they must desire the removal of an army whose pre-
sence presages nothing but misery.. If their territo-
riesi be the theatre of war, they have only to accuse
the policy of the Danish Government.
46 But it is still not too late ; it still depends upon
" the King of DENNAUK to spare the country this
" scourge—a country which, for several generations,
44 has been the seat of prosperity and peace—ln aban •
" cloning the cause that tas been so fatal to his own
46 dignity. and the interests of his people—finally in
,6 accepting the proposals of the Allied Powers, the
44 KiEg of Denmark may divert the storm that
" threatens his dominions—Their present and future
fate depends upon the resolution he is about to
66 adopt." •
Pampeluna has capitulated. The victorious
troops of the Marquis of Wellington are now upon
French ground ; it is for having attacked the Spa-
niards in the bosom of peace, that the peaceful inha,
bitants of the Adour behold an enemy's army upon
its banks. The Emperor of Russia, the Emperor of
Austria, the King of Prussia, and other formidable •
armies are upon the banks of the Rhine. One single
object directs all these masses—a general peace, foun-
ded upon natural limits. the sole guarantee of its soli-
dity. In the long miseries that have desolated the ,
Continent, the instruments have been as much to be
pitied .as the victims ; and it is the happiness of •
Frenchmen, as well as that of their own nations, that
the Allied Sovereigns desire. War can have but one
honourable object, a conquest which alone is desirable
and just—Peace. Millions of voices demand it of the
French people. . Will they be deaf to the voice of,
humanity, of reason, and of their dearest interests ? •
" Who is the Frenchman—who is the man that is
a true European, that has not been profoundly affec-
ted in reading the reply of Napoleon to the Senate ?
—Tue President of that. Assembly, in the name of
France, demands peace of the Emperor ; and this So-
• vereign, who for two years has been the witness of
the death of six hundred thousand men, replies coldly,
and merely says, that posterity shall acknowledge
'that the existing circumstances were not above him.
46 Thus, the Emperor Napoleon does not wish for
peace; and as gurope desires it, she ought to pre-
pare to obtain it by means of arms.—Let us hope
that the wishes cri ale FMICh will unite With those of
Euroße

Dee. 9.—A report from General Beauvois, to the
Duke of Tarentum, dated Neuss, the 4th of Decem-
ber, gives an account of the surprise of Neuss, in the
night of the Ist, by 900 Pruisian infantry, and sixty
hussars. This event is attributed to the negligence
of the Colonel of the 150th regiment, who was asleep,
and whose negligence was imitated by his soldiers,
who were not at their posts.
The eagle of the 150th is supposed to be lost, and
the Colonel taken in bed.
The Colonel of the 154th retreated from the town.
General Beauvois was sent by General Sebastianit
with 500 foot and 200 horse.
The enemy, on seeing this force, retreated hastily,
and General Beauvois entered Neuss, at nine in the
evening ; 15 Prussian hussars were taken prisoners.
1 The Colonel of the 15Uth is suspended by the Major
General.

The Major-General being informed, that severe
General Officers have their wives with them, orders,
that within 21 hours after the publication of this order,
all the women with the army shall leave the canton-
menu, and return to the interior.

" SIR—I have the honour to submit to your Ex-
cellency a copy of a letter from the Commandant of
Peniscola. The situation of that place is very satis-
factory. Its stock of provisions cannot be estimated,
because it has been much increased by successive ar-
rivals of privateers.
" Your Excellency will observe that the garrison
of Tortosa had, on the 16th, a new advantage over
the enemy.

Commandant Bardont, bait I believe it correct.

Letter from Mr. Bardont, Commandant of Penis-
cola, to General St. Cyr Nugnes, Chief of the Etat
Major of the Artily of Arragon and Catalonia, dated
November 20 :
44 Since the 9th we have had two engagements of
out-posts with the enemy, who was so well received,
that he has not fired a shot since.
" The troops are employed in works useful to the
place, which might be dispensed with indeed, but
which it is prudent to do when there is time.
" On the 16th, the garrison of Tortosa made a
sally on the side of Amposta, and did much injury
to the enemy.
" On the 17th, several waggons with wounded
passed La Rapitta. The head-quarters which were
at Uldicona, are now at Vinaroy.

BOURDEAUX, DECEMBER s.
All the accounts we receive confirm the misunder-
standing which exists between the English Govern-
ment and the Spanish Government.
They write from Bayonne, that they have just re-
ceived there a Gazette of Madrid, containing a Decree
of the Cortes, ordering dile Spanish troops to obey
only their own Generals, and to take no orders from
the English Generals. The Spaniards rank apart in
the army, and do not mix either with the English or
the Portuguese.

It is certain that we have an army of 30,000 men.
at Sedan, which is not farther from us than we are
from the Rhine. That another still more consider-
able army is at Metz.
That Luxemburgh is full of troops.
That the Duke of Tarentum, with his army, is at

SPIRE, DECEMBER 1.
According to accounts from the other bank, the
allied troops are obliged to extend their cantonments,
in order toprocure subsistence. The country which
they occupy is so exhausted, that it is quite incapa-
ble of complying with all the requititions imposed on
it. They draw from Bohemia and Warta, being all
the corn which can be procured there to supply the
allied armies. The conveyance is the more difficult,
as the incessant rains and the marching of the troops
have rendered the roads impassable.
On the other hand, these rains have swelled the
river to such a degree, that the navigation is partly
suspended. Diseases continue to make great ravages
in that part of Germany.

nor diminished. All remains in this respect in the
same situation. _ _

It is affirmed that the greatest part of the garrisor.
of Manheitn has left that city'.

Though many French troops have descended the
Rhine, to repair to the Department of the Roer, ard
replace those that are on the march to Holland, the
military force which defends our Department (Mount
Tonnerre) has not been weakened ; on the contrary.
it has been lltely much strengthened by troops froks
the depots of the regiments which have been *eta
hither, and by numerous detachments of the conscrip.
tion of 120,000 men, and by cohorts of the grenadiers
and chasseurs of the national guard. Those of the
Moselle and Meurthe are united in our Department,
and arc distinguished by their good appearance, seal,
and activity.

the positions of the hostile armies are still the same
before Ment; and Cassel, on the right bank of the
Rhine.

Nothing has happened on this s►de.

We have furnished great supplies for Landau.
which is six leagues from our tone. This excellent
fortress has been completely provisioned in a very
short time, is provided with a very good and nume-
rous garrison, and is in the most respectable state of
defeice. Laulerberg, on the Rhine, has been also
provisioned, and put in a good state ofdefence.
