MODLIN.

DAendels, General of commands at Mod-
lin. Its garrison is composed of 1000 Saxons, 100
French, and 6000 Poles. The fortress is provisioned
with bread for several years, with meat and other
articles for nine months.

These great supplies of bread in the fortresses of
the Vistula, proceed from the immense army-maga•
zines which were found in them.

ZAMOSE
Has a garrison of 4000 Poles. -
CZENLOCHAN
Has a garrison of 900 Poles.
The Prince of Schwartzenberg, on the 12th Feb-
ruary, had taken the position Mica. A fresh Aus-I
trian corps of observation was collecting on the fron-
tiers of Bohemia.

General Regnier with the Seventh Corps marched
by Patrikau and Rau-a upon Kaliscb. His cavalry
was attacked, on the 13th of February, by a Russian
corps of troops, which passed the Vistula upon the
ice, between Thorn and Modlin, on the site of Ploek.
General Regnier repulsed this attack, even in the
town of Kalisch.
A Saxon General of Brigade, with his brigade,
was cut off by the enemy ; but he fell back upon Ge-
neral Poniatowski's corpse which had effected its
junctiOn with the Austrian corps, and was between
Pilica and Cracow.

Oeneral Regnier has repassed the Oder, and taken
a position in the front of Dresden.—So ninch for
Ppland,
the ViceNT had, in the be?innins of Februnhl

aimed the 11th carps to advance hors Berlin to
wards the Oder. This corps arrived at Frankfort
just when the Viceroy (being informed of the evacu-
ation of Warsaw) perceived that his position on Po.
sen was then or no farther utility, and he retired,
without being disturbed, behind the Oder.
On the 18th February, a corps of 1500 Russian
light cavalry crossed the Nether Oder over the ice.
The Marshal Duke of Castiglione ordered General
Ppinsat to meet them with two battalions of infantry
and 100 horse. In a reconnoissance a few leagues
distant from Berlin, that General killed about sixty
of their men, and among others a Prussian Gentle.
nun, called the Count de Schwerin. In the night,
the enemy's horse turned Berlin ; they surprised the
post which guards the gate of Oranunbttrg, end S oc
400 of them penetrated into the city ; this was on the
morning of the 20th February. The Duke of Cas.
tiglione caused some cannon-shot to be fired at them,
and drove them away with his infantry. The lower
class of people at-Berlin endeavoured to profit b 7
this circumstance, but the Burgher Guard, which is
composed of all the citizens, performed the part of
the Police, and order was immediately re-established.
After this affair the enemy's light troops disappeared,
On the 'Ad February, the Viceroy, with 600 horst
of the Guards, arrived at Berlin. He afterwards took
a position at Kopnik.
Lieutenant-Colonel Cicero, with his battalion, oe.
cupied the post of Furstenwald on the Spree. He
suffered himself to be imposed on by 600 Russian
horse, who made him believe that they bad artillery
and infantry with them. He had the simplicity to
quit the post which he ought to have leleaded, and
fell back with his battalion on the army. Orders havo
been given :o arrest this officer, who will be puttithed
according to the rigour of martial law.
General Gerard had remained at Frankfort with a
brigade to burn the bridge ; 2000 of the Russian ca-
valry cut him off from Berlin. He marched against
them, killed from (SO to 80 men, made several officers
prixoners, burnt the bridge at Frankfort, and rejoined
the Viceroy.
The Viceroy had to take one of these two steps
either to cause the cavalry of the Ist and 2d corps,
!licit were re-organized on the left bank of the Elbe,
to come up, and employ them in scouring the coun-
try between the Elbe and the Oder, or to march be-
fore the other armies whilst approaching towards the
Elbe. Bdt this c.ivalry was not yet entirely recog.
nized, and a great many old soldiers, such precious
resources, might be compromised bi a premature
step ; and besides this, General Bulow, commanding
a Prussian corps on the right bank of the Lower Oder,
had suffered the enemy's light cavalry to pass the river.
The Viceroy took the resolution of retiring in good
order towards the Elbe. He left the Oder defended
in the following manner :—General Grandjean, with
A garrison of nine thousand men, and supplied witty
provisions for eight months, commanded at Stettin.
The General of Brigade Dufresse holds the second!
command ;—General Chamberlane commands the
Engineers.
General Fernier d'Abbe secures the town of Cuss
trin, with 9000 men.
General Lapland and General Doan, of the ena
gineers, are at Glogau, with 6000 men.
Spandau is guarded by General Bruny, with SOOQ
men. All these places are provided with provisions
an stores from nine months to a year.
On the 4th, between Berlin and Wittenberg, 1200
.'t the Russian light cavalry attempted to charge the
Viceroy's rear-guard. A battalion of the 6th of the
line received them with fixed bayonets, and killed
'bout 106 of them—atter which that cavalry dis'ap-
peared, and we have not seen them since.
We have just shewn our position in Poland and oz
the Oder, and shall now spew that on the Elbe.
General Lanriston, with five new divisions, formed
of old troops drawn from France, and famished with
a numerous equipage of artillery, provided with dou-
ble sets of horses, and with the Westphalian corps.
and the Ist corps of cavalry, occupies Magdeburg,
and collects a great military force at this point.
The Prince of !ckmuhl, with the first corps of the
Grand Army, and the Duke of Belluno, with tin
second, were near the Elbe.

General Grenier, with the 11th corps, was before
Wittenberg.—This place was armed and put in a
state of defence. The Saxon General Thielinan wai
with 6000 Saxons in garrison at Torgau, a place
which the King has caused to be constructed since
1809, and the works of which have been pushed cm
with so much activity, that it is now in the best state
of defence. It is defended by 200 pieces of artillery.
General Regnier was m the front of Dresden, will;
the Saxon corps and the division of Darutte, having
a Bivarian division on his lett. This corps sParissa
will be reinforced by yen thousand men, who will at.-
rive from the depots in Saxony. After having pro-
vided for all the points of this line, the head-quarter;
were removed to Leipzie
In this state of affairs, the King of Saxony had re/
tired to Plauen, judging it proper to keep himself a;
a greater distance frorn the theatre of war. The King.
on his departure, which was on the 3d of February,
issued the proclamation hereunto annexed.
The ring of Westphalia. wishing to have hisguards
and his troops at his own free disposal, to lead them
in person, wherever circumstances may require, Jae
desired that the Queen should go to France, and that
Princess should at rive this day at Compeigne.
Meanwhile General Lauriston had with good reason
withdrawn all the troops of the 32d military division,
to concentrate themselves at Magdeburg. The corps
of General Vandamme, composed of fifty battalions,
which had already left Wesel, to occupy the 32d mi-
litary division, did not arrive time till towards the
end of March. Hamburgh was, therefore, only de-
fended by a very weak toter. The lower class of
' people wished to take advantage of this. and on the
24th of February, they insulted the Custom-house
Officers, who fired on the most mutinous, and the
mob dispersed. The citizens oL Haniburgh had the
good sense to feel the necessity of restraining the po-
pulace. They formed themselves into a national
guard, and re-established proper order.
Several picquets of Danish cavalry contributed to
restore order in Harnburgt4 A Russian spy was ar-
rested and shot, as were six men who were the Au-
thors of the sedition.

On the 12th of this month, General Casa St. Cyr
judged proper to cross to the lett uauw of
and to fix the head-quarters of the 32d snilit:4ry di-
vision at Artlenburgh. The Ist corps of observation
ithiae) cosotpos4 of the. Bthi Pa), IVth 11th,

ip

t9th, S9tb, and §9th divisions of the Grand Ann%
bad united on the Maine. The Prince of Moseowa,
who commands them, has at this moment his head-
qi3arters at Hanau. General de Wrede has taken
bis head-quarters at Bamberg, with a Bavarian divi-
sion. The Wirtemberg, Hessian, and Baden divisions
will unite themselves at Wurtzburg.
The 2d corps of observation of the Rhine,' com-
posed of the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 12th divisions of
the Grand Army, will unite at Frankfort, under the
orders of the Duke of Ragusa. General Bertrand
has marched out of Tyrol, with the five divisions
which compose the corps of observation of Italy. The
division of the Imperial Guards under the orders of
the Duke of Treviso, have arrived at Frankfort. Up-
wards of 20,000 old horsemen, who have been in all
the wars, are remounted, equipped, and united on the
Elbe. They can all rejoin their ranks in the begin-
ning of April.
Sixty thousand of the cavalry are equipping them-
in our depots in France. One half of them are al-
ready en the road to Metz and Maintz.
Notwithstanding the losses vice have sustained this
winter, an army far more numerous, and having one-
third more artillery, will very soon take the field. A
corps of 80 battalions are forming themselves to the
roancelivres in camps, or are in reserve in the interior.
Independent of the corps which the kingdom of
Italy has in the Grand Army, 40,000 Italians will
form several camps, to defend the coasts of Venice, of
the Illyrian provinces, and of the Adriatic.
The Army of Spain has sent back to France nearly
150 skeleton., of battaliotu, and about 50:isle/ear of qua-
droll:, but they have found recruits, which far more
than compensate for this loss.
The 7th Regiment of Polish Light Horse, the fine
Legion of dens d'armes, which in such a distinguished
manner overthrew the English cavalry, and four re-
giments of Guards, are the only entire corps which
have been withdrawn from Spain, where they have
been replaced.
This is the true military situation of France ; it is
the result of the energy and patriotism of the French.
The Russians were received at Konigsberg and in
Old Prussia with those impressions which attracts one
to whatever is new; but their leaden administration
has already made itself felt. The Cossacks pillage
wherever they come ; the country is obliged to sup-
ply all their wants ' • and all their expenees, even those
of the Generals and the Officers ; those of the Posts,
and at the Inns, are paid merely with notes, or paper
rubles. There is no longer any gold or silver coin to
be seen. Thus is the ruin of that country completed,
which the Russians pretended they came to liberate.
Prussia is a prey to the same factions as those which
preceded the war of 1806.—(Meniteur, March 18.)

The Paris Papers received last night, contain an
account of the late defeat of the American army, on
the Raisin river. They also contain the following
accounts from New-York :

" NEW-YORK, FEB. 11.

0 Letters from Norfolk state, that that town was
greatly alawned at the approach of Admiral Warren's
squadron ; the Governor immediately put 5000 mi-
litia under arms, and a courier was dispatched to
Washington. The Legislature has voted a loan of
500,000 dollars to cover the-necessary expences. The
Constellation frigate having been chased, grounded
some miles below Norfolk, but was won got off by
the prompt assistance of the gun-boats. We axe as-
sured that the English Government has lately issued
an Order of Council, which permits American ships
to carry provisions and colonial produce into the ports
of all nations, friends of Great Britain. Commerce,
by licenses, has therefore finished."

A Letter was received on Saturday afternoon, from theCnAst-
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, addressed to the Governor and
Deputy Governors of the Bank of England, acquainting them,
that Lord LivzsrooL and himself would be ready to see one
of the parties in each Banking-house in London, and such ether
Gentlemen as have been Contractors for Loans, at the Treasury
Clambers, on Wednesday, at one o'clock, to communicate to
them the amount of Exchequer Bills intended to be funded, and
the terms to be proposed for that purpose. The days for sub-
ser bing the Bills will be from Tuesday, the 6th of April, to
Friday, the 9th, inclusive.

Paris Papers to ,the :4th inst. have been received
since our last; and never, certainly, have any Jour-
nals under French influence communicated more joy-
ful tidings to the suffering nations of Europe. The
irlabitants of Westphalia are in arms to assert thtir
liberties: JEROME BONAPARTE has sent his Queen to
Paris, for safety ; and he is now at the head of his
guards, " leading them wherever circumstances may
require." In other words, he is making the hest of
his way, perhaps in disguise, from his enraged and
oppressed sub;ects.
While such is the case in Werphalia, 41 Prussia is
a prey to the same factions as those which preceded
the war of mos?" Here we have a confirmation of
'he important fact, that an indissoluble alliance has
t.i!:en place between Russia and Prussia.

In addition to all these exterior causes for alarm in
the breast of the Corsican, the urbanity of the good
people cf i aris is so much upon the wane, that they
are in the hasit of insulting; ,6 well-dressed women"
in the Gardens of the Thuillerics, and interrupting
the promenades ! We have no doubt that the women
so insulted were dependents on the glorious dynasty
which governs Prance.
Through the same medium we are favoured with
an expose, of the present state of the French Army.
To chew the absurdity of this document, it is only
necessary to enumerate the trocps said to be at this
moment in arms against the Russians—they amount
to THREE HUNDRED AND FIETY THOUSAND MEN ! Nay,
they will enter the field Ns ith one-third more artillery
than they had last year
But it is'not from the French Papers alone that we
are now to look for materials upon which to prognos-
ticate the total ruin of the French stystem. The

whole inhabitants ea the shored the Elbe, the Eno,
and the Weser, are in it state of insurrection, and
hoist the English flag as the legitimate signal of li-
berty and independence. A Hanoverian Nobleman
Baron KIIILMANSIKKii, has arrived with intelligence
to this effect, and with an earnest supplication on the
part of the inhabitants of Hanover in particular, for
such succours as Great Britain can afford.
At Antwerp, the batteries on the Scheldt had been
doubly manned, lest any attempt should be made by
the seamen to surrender the fleet to our blockading
squadron.

Near Bremen Lehe, a military station had been at-
tacked by 3000 peasants ;—a great number of the
enemy were killed, some taken prisoners, and the .e
mainder surrounded.

The flame of insurrection had also spread to Hol-
land; in Amsterdam and other cities riots had broken'
out, and in the •illages and remote places, distur-
bances had arisen to a great extent.
