BERLIN, MAY 18.

According to accounts received this day, there is
nothing to fear for Berlin. The French are retreat-
ing on all points towards Dresden, and Lieutenant-
General Von Bu-low has pushed forward a consider-
able distance in pursuit of them.
AUTHENTIC STATEMENT OF THE MOVEMENTS OF THE,

CORPS OF GENERAL VON BULOW OF MAY 17.
According to certain intelligence received, the corps
'of Lieutenant-General Von Bulow, which, by the
enemy's manccuvres fromTorgan, had been forced to
make a retrograde movement, is again going to act
on the offensive, and will, with its full force, protect
the line of defence which extends down to Magde-
burgh, and protect Berlin.
The Russian Corps of Observation under General
Count Woronzow still continues in its strong en-
trenchments before Magdeburgh, and keeps up the
communication with General Bulow ; under these
circumstances, there can be little cause of fear for the
capital—and more especially, as his Royal Highnesst
the Crown Prince has landed at Stralsund, and will
jointly with the other Swedish corps which had pre-
viously landed, and are already in part arrived at the
Lower Elbe, operate strongly against the enemy.
Last Saturday, the following publication was pos-
ted up here :
" The theatre of war on which the Grand Armies
are combating being removed further off from Ber-
lin, but the local situation of this metropolis being
near the river, the passages of which are in part in
the enemy's hand, prudence renders it necessary, al-
though there is no immediate danger, to remove such
articles, the transport of which, at a moment of less
tranquillity; would be attended with difficulty, and
require means and strength which might then be em-
ployed to better purpose.
4, The public cannot, therefore, form any disquiet-
ing ideas from this prudential measure, which merely
arises from the local situation of Berlin.

" Lieutenant-General Von Bulow is in readiness
'with a sufficient force to cover Berlin ; and, even in
the case of his being constrained by a superior force
to commence a retreat towards Berlin, yet he will
receive continual reinforcements from the troops col-
lected, and find a line of defence which. the enemy
will not pass ; and what, above all, must appear
dreadful and be destructive to the enemy, is the cou-
rage of each brave Brandenburgher, who, true to his
King, enthusiastically devoted to his Country, ap-
peals as the defender of his wife, his children, his
home, and every thing dear to him, against foreign
oppression.

" On this courage, in case of danger appearing,
the King relies, and in it we place equal confidence ;
the enemy dreads it. Every fear, with such means
of protection, is therefore unnecessary.
" If the servants of the State and those of the higher
class, whose circle of action extends through the
whole Monarchy, have absented themselves, this is
done by the express command of his Majesty, and
proceeds from the very natural cause of preventing
any interruption to the course of business.
" Weak-minded persons, who, without having re-
ceived any orders for so doing, have, nevertheless,
privately absented themselves contrary to the law,
may, nevertheless, take themselves away ; their un-
patriotic minds might only be productive of harm in
moments where activity of performance is requisite.
They are to be deplored.
" We shall neglect no prudential means which re-'
quire time for preparation ; btu on the other band e&-
_.

peet from the good sense of the public, that it will
not from hence draw a proof of the public affairs be-
ing in any worse situation, or consider that any dan.
ger threatens this metropolis.
