FORTY-NINTH BULLETIN.

" The principal forces,how ever, of the Prince of Plefs, lay be-
hind en the fide of Nets, where he affembled them after the en-
gagement of Streitlen. He left Schurgalt, and 'marching day and
night, advanced as far as the Night Camp of the Wurccmburgh
brigade, which were drawn up in the rear of Hube, near Breflau.
At eight in the morning he attacked with boo men the village of
Grit:item, occupied by two battalions of infantry, and by the Li-
range light horfe, under the command of the Adjutant Commandant
Duveyrier, but he met with fo vigorous a reception, that he was
forced to make a fpeedy retreat. General Montbrun and Minucci
received orders immediately on their return from Ohlau, to cut
off the enemy's retreat. But the Prince of Plefs made hafte to
difperfs his troops, and matte them return by detachments into
the fortreffes, abandoning in his flight a part of his artillery, a
great deal of baggage, aid liven] horfes. He had a number of
men kill:d in this affair, and left us Soo prifoners.

of Wallachia and Moldavia. The Prince Dolgoroufki was alfo
there with his troops. They were thus in the prefenee of each

FIFTY-SECOND BULLETIN OF THE CRAND ARMY

Wariaw, Jan.l9, 03::,•7.

" The Bth Corps of the Grand Army, commanded by IVlarftal
Mortier, bus detached the fecond battalion of light infantry to
Wollin ; three companies of the fame regiment had fearcely arrived
there, when, before breakof day, they were attacked by a detach-
ment of zt.so foot and Iso bode, with four pieces of cannon, from
Colberg. The French, not appalled by the enemy's great fuperio-
rity of number, carried a bridge, took four pieces of cannon, and
made zoo prifoners. The reft were put to flight, leaving behind
a number of slain and wounded in the city of Wollin, the streets
of which were covered with them. The city or Beeg, Silella,
has furrendered after a firge of five days. Poland, rich in grain
and provifions, affords us a plentiful fupply—Warfaw alone fur-
nifhes ICO,OCO rations per day.
" No difiafes prevail In the army,nor is it poffible to take more
care of the health of the foldiers than is done; although the winter
feafon is fo far advanced, no fevcre froft has hitherto been expe-
rienced.

" The Emperor is daily on the parade, and reviews the different
corps of the army, which, as well as the detachments of ci.nfcripts
who arrive from France, are fupplled with shoes and other need-
fades out of the magazines of Warfaw."
