BREMEN, MARCH 25.
stvENTH BULLETIN.
Head Quarters of the General in Chief of the Army
of Poland, at Pinneburg, before Hamburgb.
f‘ Marshal Davoust, after having sustained so many
locses at the Williamsburg, appears to have given up
all idea of defending it against us, as he keeps there
merely posts for information and communication be-
tween Hamburgh and Harburg, which are fortified
with the greatest skill, and connected with each other.
Insurmountable obstacles continue to compel
the besiegers to content themselves with obtaining
small advantages over the enemy, and the General
in Chief, Count Bennigsen, directs these to be carried
as far as moral and physical causes will permit our
soldiers to do it, against the advantageous position of
the enemy. For this purpose small expeditions of a
few hundred volunteers are daily, and especially by
night, sent either against the Island of Wilhelmsburg,
or the enemy's advanced posts on the other side,
which are incautiously pushed too far, and which are
really amusement to our soldiers, but which wearies
out the besieged, and causes them many losses.
" Among many such daily fortunate occurrences,
and in which there are always more or less prisoners
made without suffering any considerable loss on our
side, the following are most worthy notice :
" On the 23d of February the enemy was disturbed
en several points at the same time, and by carrying
off some of his advanced posts, alarmed him so much
that he nude signals, and fired with his heavy artil-
lery on small patroles, even at a great distance.
" On the 26th the enemy, tendered more secure
by the trifling skirmishes of the preceding night, suf-
fered a strong column, under the command of Ge-
neral Balatoff, and the corps of Markoff, to approach
so near the Wilhelmsburg, that :hese were enabled to
surprise several officers' posts, and posh forward to
the road of communication between Hamburgh and
Haarburgh, on which the nearest batteries of Ham-
burgh and Haarburgh began to fire bn us, although
without causing us the least loss ; and after having at-
tained the object intended, we returned td our old
cantonments with the prisoners we had taken. The
speedy retreat of the enemy prevented us from cut-
tine :off his cannon.
On the 28th General Von Markoff again under-
took an expedition against Wilhelmsburg, overthrew
ad the posts estaialished on it, and. pushed across the
whole island between Hamburgh and Haarburgh,
alarming both, these fortresses, and likewise Bell and
Ochsenweider, to the other end of it, where General
Von Doctoroff, who commanded there, sent some
battilions to meet him. The result of these three ex-
peditions is the more fortunate,, on account of the
very small loss sustained in them, which does not ex-
ceed twenty men, in killed and wounded ; whilst that
of , the enemy consists in eight officers and 383 pri-
'fates made prisoners, exclusive- of a considerable
number of killed and wounded.
" On the sth March, Prince pagration, who corn-
tnands the advanced guards on the side of Altona,
and had daily small affairs with the enemy, van ano-
ther ttifling etpedition against the Wilhelmsburg;
broke 'the posts of carabineers supported by infantry,
arid made 13 cuirassiers and 18 infantry prisoners,
with the hiss of only three Cossacks wounded.
. •' In the following night (6th March), General
Bulatoff fell on the outworks of the Star Battery, and
with the same insignificant loss, took one officer, six
serkanti, and 67 privates, prisoners.
" In the night between the l'lth and 12th March,
PiinCe Bagration again surprised the enemy's head
post of carabineers, on the Wilhelmsburg, and was
so fortunate as to carry off 43 cuirassiers and 49
horie chasseurs, without losing a single man. The
risoners assure us that one of their Officers was
killed.
64 OR the side of Haarburg, where the English
Genet-al Lyen commands a part of the besieging
army; several petty affairs have recently taken place,
several sallies made by the enemy from Haarburg
having been continually repulsed, and always to their
loss. . The Hanovciian troops stationed them keep
the enemy in check. The General in Chief has, on
the v.1:,1,:, tarcen the most proper measures against
any sallies of the g-irrison of Hamburgh. The Ge-
nerale of cavalry Tschaplitz and Chepolcf command
the whole, of the a..ivaliced guard, and Generals
DoctoroiF, Tolstoy, and Markoff, support them with
their ei v 3i: )11 s of infantry. The English General
e! inmands a mixcci corps of Russians, liana-
veri..ns ttl 1 Hanseatic', before Haarburg.
" The General in Chief has latterly again detached
Some cerps oh cavalry to, the Rhine, and has retainu.l
.re before Hamburgh and Haarburg than what
is requiSite for the service there ; on the other hand,
he is dra,viiii; considerable detachments of infantry to
reinforce himself. The thaws which may sown be ex-
pected, will require a new and different kind of opt-
,...tions before the fortresses of Hamburgh and Haar-
an ! the needful preparations are accordingly
making for that purpose.
By several officers who have deserted to us, and
afnung whom there are even some native French, we
have received the most particular information con-
' ceraing both the strength and the spirit of the guru-
son. li we were to ealetia:e merely on the number of
soldiers the corps-d'arrnee under Marshal Davoust,
alei before his walls, might be deemed force suffi-
cient ; but the moral and physical state of the gar-
rison reduces them at least one half pact. The Com-
manding General in Chief, Count Bennigsen, has at
the request of the Sovereign Prince of the Nether-
lands, given permission for raising a company at
. Blankanese, out of the Dutch prisoners and deser-
ters, and to send them from thence to Holland. By
these means several hundreds of these unfortunates
are already gone from Hamburgh, that unfortunate
