a German Prince in the Russian service: it is, how.

ever, generally believed. Reports are also spread
to-day, that the King of Saxony has declared against
France. From the Army we have no news of any
event of importance since the victory of the sth, near
Magdeburg. The French have left Luneburg, but
it is not positively known why. It is certain that
they had no appearance of intending to leave it when
a letter was brought by a French Officer to General
Montbrum, who commanded there ; and who, after
reading it, started up, boat his forehead, and ex-
claimed—" 4h, gad malheur!" and shortly gave an
order to march, first publishing a proclamation to
the inhabitants, expressing his satisfaction with their
conduct, relieving 100 hostages, and declaring hse
would shortly return, when he hoped the peopl4
of Luneburg would cease to fear the French.-
--A private letter received this morning, which I
have seen, brings the news that a second most brilliant
♦ictory has been gained near Magdeburg. That on
1I the first day some thousand prisoners were taken, and
on the second the French totally beaten, the Viceroy
wounded, and the Prince of Eckmuhl either killed or
taken prisoner. No official news of this kind has yet
been received here—though Tettenborn has declared
that he is in expectation of most important news.
—The Russians and Prussians are now advancing
in all directions. Alexander and the King of Prussia
will probably be soon at Dresden. Wittgenstein has!
passed the Elbe at Dessau. General D'York was ate
Brandenburg, and at Domstz it is said a considera-
ble corps is already passed, with orders to advance
till they meet with the French. The Cossacks are,
without doubt, within ten English miles cf Bremen.
Lieutenant-Colonel Estoff is here•raising an English
Legion of Hanoverians, to consist of a Regiment of
Hussars, and a Regiment of Chasseurs on foot.
" A solemn 7e I)eum has been sung at Bremen and
Wesel, on account of the decisive victory gained on
the 4th of Apia by General Morand over the Rus-
sian and Prussian troops. Serenity in suffering is
decorous and la.udable ; but to blazon and trumpet
forth a chastisenient as a particular favour, is the
summit of impudence. • •
It is seldom that any one is beaten so completely
as Morand was, for the whole col ps was de:sr-sled
suddenly and unexpectedly, like a man struck with
the apoplexy. Yet in Wesel and Bremen Te I)eum is
celebrated : perhaps they think ;it Wesel and Bremp,
hippy is he who dies in such troublesome times, and
thank Goy that he has been pleased to take the
whole body to himself."

" BERLIN, APRIL 8.

General Blucher has removed his lw.t.:luarters
from Freyberg to Chemnitz ; his further distination
is unknown.

"It is now known with certainty, that ti F tissian
army in Germany will be brought to the Amber of
f 350,000 mcn. CountTolstoi, formerly Amb:tssadar
t Paris, has already passed Kiees with 100,000 men,
among whom are many Cossacks from the Ural.
" It is said, that 600 men of the garrison of Glo-
gau have been cut off from the rest in a late sally.
"The Saxon infantry has retired, by order of their
King, from Dresden to Torgau, and the cavalry to
Plauen.

" On next Palm Sunday solemn Thanksgivings'
will be put up in all the Churches of the Capital for
the first gloridus victory of the united troops of their
Russian and Prussian Majesties, at Luneburg, and
for the second of his Majesty's troops at Moeckeon."
" BERLIN, APRIL 10.

46 Yesterday afternoon his Excellency Count Pla.!

or 8 pulks of Cossacks excellently Mounted, sand.se.

" The French have retired from Dessau to Calbe, 1
'bchincl the Saale. Their chief force seems to extend 1
from Magdeburg to this place. Davoust commands I
the separate ccrps in the Alt-Mark and Luneburg.;
I-load:ties are already begun liefore Stettin. The
besieged are not happy in their sallies, which are
always vigorousiy repulsed. The desertion is consi-
derable, bec.!ttie the garrison receives no pay. 'l'lle
