TRENCH PAPERS.

Lail night we received Paris Papers to the Bth int
one of which contains the Fifty•third Bulletin. _ It
appears from it, that the French General Vtcroa,
who is mentioned in the Forty-ninth Bulletin as
hav; r.t out, with the tends corps of the army, to
Wage Colberg and Dental; and to " tale thefe
places during the winter," is aerially a prifoner in
the hrt thefe fortreffes. He was intercepted and
taken by a Yruf6an patrole as he was on his way to
Stettin. Nothing is faiti about his divifion, but we
lhosad not be furptifed if, inflead of attacking Col-

berg and Dantzic, it was originally defined to co-
operate with MORTIER in the liege of Sttalfund.
Our Readers will obferve that Devous r's account
of the battle on the 26th December, given in the,
preceding column under the article Batnberg;diffeti
confiderably from the (latements in the 47th and '
5 Bulletins.

FIFTY-THIRD BYLLETIN OP THE GRAND ARMY.
Very conliderable magazines of provitions have
been found at Brieg. Annexed is the capitulation
of that fortrefs.

4, Prince Jerome continues the campaign in Silefia
with great affivity. Lieutenant General Deroi had
already invefted Karel, and opened the trenches.
The liege of Schweidnitz, and that of Niefle, con-
tinue at the fame time to be carried on.

4g General Vidor, as he was proceeding to Stet-
tin in his carriage, accompanied by an aid•dacamp,
and a angle domeflic, was carried off by a party of
twenty-five chaffeurs, who were fcouring the country.
The weather i► become .cold, and it is probable
that in a few days the rivers will be frozen. Never.
thelefs the (talon is not more fevere than it dually is
at Paris. The Emperor makes it a daily practice
to attend the parade, and to review tome of his re-
giments.
" All the magazines of thy army are organizing,
and receiving Rotes, &c. &a. Great quantities of
bitcuit are preparing. The Emperor has jun ordered,
that vaft magazines fhnuld be formed, and that a
confiderable quantity of cloathing fliould be made in
Siiefia.

44 The Engligh, who can no longer gain credit to
their affertion, that the Ruffians, the Tartars, and the
Ca'mucks, are about to deftroy the French army ;
becaufe, even in the London coffee houfes, it is well
known that there worthy allies, who cannot bear the
afped of our bayonets, now, call to their aid the dy-
fentery, the plague, and the whole trail; of epidemic
difeafes.

" If there evils were at the difpofition of the Ca-
binet of London, there cannot be the leaft doubt that
not only our army, bnt even our provinces, and the
manufaouring clafs of people on the Continent, would
become their prey. In the mean time, the Engli(h
content themfelves with publilhing in every way, and
under every form; by their numerous emiffaries, that
the French army is ddiroyed by direafes. If they
are to be believed, entire battalions fall around, like
thole of the Greeks at the commencement of the liege
of Troy. They would employ a very commodious
way of getting rid of their enemies ; but they mull
renounce it. Never was an army in a better condi-
tion. The wounded ate recovering fait ; and the
number of deaths are very incontlderable. There
are not fo many tick as in the preceding campaign.
There are even fewer than is ofual in France, accor-
ding to the common calculations, in time of peace."
