GENERAL DOUBROWSKEY'S ADDRESS TO THE
POLISH CLERGY.
" Pofen, December a.
41 The Polilh Clergy have at all times participated
with the nation at large in the love of the country
and of liberty. While others were litflamed by fa-
naticifm, and plunged into every excels in confe-
quence of different opinions cn religion, the Polifh
Clergy have always exhorted their flocks to the lore
of their neighbours ; and, in cafe of war, their con.
dull has been candid and open.
66 Minifters I The voice of the country was never,
beard fo !Lod as at prefent. Now, after * long fi-
lence, let each of you (peak to the people with the
tongue of an *pale. Recommend unity and eon.
cord among all families, and flimulate them again*
the enemy of the count, y, whole power overthrew
lath War throne and our altars. Kindle the fpirit
offatriotifm, that it may lead them to the fulfil-
meat of every civic duty. Expofe to all the people
our innocence, and allure them that we expea help
from Hsavew, and from the juflice of our caufe.
" In the churches offer your prayers to the MOST
Timm ; may HIV/SS preferve the invincible Napo-
leon. Thank Goo for giving him an exiffence
dear to the Poles. He is the perfen whom HsAves
has fent for our deliverance, and to overcome and
chaftife our oppreffors. May he humble our ene-'
Mies who would retain us in perpetual fl'avery. Ani-
mated by the protection of our invincible hero, our
nation willies once mote to :watt fetal its former
flumber.once more it willies to enjoy its ancient
freed mt.
" Let the voice of alarm proceed from your pul-
pits.' We will either die or be a nation.' Proclaim
the Patriotifm of the *Waywrde of Gnefen. Lee
every fon of the country fallen, without lots of time,
to imitate the examples of Zodkiesstki, Cholkiewie,
sad Czarnecki. If we neglett to avail outfelves of
the prelent moment, when PROTIDINCS offers the
powerful al.l of the invincible Napleon, we are for
ever 1011. Tel every father' and mother that if our
want of (pith (lipoid once more place us in the power
of our •enemies-.-fhould they once more fucceed in
rivetting our fetters, both tbemfelves and their chit-
dtcn will have nothing to expeit but perpetual flare.
ry nr an ign •minious death. Their churches will be
covered with contempt, and their property become
the booty of the enemy. Fire and fword sal fpread
defolation all around, and letleenetkies behind hot
the trhees of sretchednefs and matey. nos 'mug
you (peak to the people : lift up your base alto to
leavan, as Moles once did, and *Aare 'Wry for
our aandards ; then, in the unjoymene of pease add
fusty. we than all join together- in returning thanks
to the Moss MGM. 4$ 1101611011P3u.s,"

Mr. Secretary WINDHAM (aid, it was to the
courfe of execution now, as to the preliminary part
of it, fuch as Ballot, &c.; but as to the extent to
which it was to be carried into execution, that mull,
from the nature of the meafure itfelf, be left to the
difmetion 'of Government, under all circumftances
which might apply to it—hut to a certain degree, it
was now in the aa of being carried into execution.
Lord CASTLEREAGH (aid, *hat he -wanted
to know was, not whether the preliminary meafures,
foch..as-proceeding on the Ballot, or the like, had
been commence 4 but whether, in a military feisfe, it
was intended to put this Aa in force ? In a word,
whether it was intended that the population of the
country fhould be traineil
Mr. Secretary WINDHAM Paid, he mould have
conceived that the Noble Lord would have confider-
ed this as a meafure to be regulated by eireumllances
and expedience, as it might appear to his Majelly's
Government. He few no change likely to take place
loon, to alter the prefent opinion of Minifiers upon
that fubje& arterial, it was the iotaitizeitrGoesroonesit
to carry this wafers late All awl execution ;
meaning thireby, that the meafure is to be carried.
into full and complete execution in one fen& ;—to
enforce it in every part of the kingdom had never
been intended; but in that part of the Kingdom
wherein it was intended to carry this meafure into.
effea, he could venture to fay, it would be carried into
full and complete execution in every refpeft.

An Order has been iffued to big Majefly's (hips of
war and privateers, to detain and bring in all (hips
and veffels belonging to neutrals trading from one
port of France to another, or any port under the
contrnul of the French Government, where Britigh
veffels are not permitted to trade.

We are happy in being able to Rate, that Adviees
were yefterday reoeived by Goveranseat, that tord
Hurcutason had arrived middy wen at Dantzig,
and was proceeding to join the Kona of PRUSSIA
wherever he might be. The nniverfal tenor of the
Letters brought by the Mail, confirm the report that
the French Army in Poland was rapidly thinning
by dyfentery and fever.

matter, which has arrived at Falmouth from the
port of Rochefort, after a ;siege of fermi days ; we
learn that when the failed there were lying in that
harbour, waiting for an opportunity to put to fen,
five French fail of the line, and two frigates. full of
troops: one of the Gips a three decker. We hope,
and indeed we hare no doubt whatever, that a proper,
lookout will be kept to prevent them from effeaing
their purpofe ; or to bring them into an Englint port
Gould they attempt it.
It was currently reported at Rochefort before the
Diana failed, that the Ruffians had heen defeated 14
the French in a battle that, had taken place an the
banks of the Vitlula; but the time was sot mentioned
nor any circumfianceoso enable eisipa decide whether
the report is 'ridded toaoy cr.dti. They knew no-
thing whatever at Rgehsfoxt refpe6ing the armies
but what was fugerecl to appear in the Paris papers.
The Maßer if Lief el which left Stettin on the
27th ult. and reached( the River yeaerday, reports,
that prior to his failing, advices had reached that
place, that a ituffian dad Pruffian force had appeared
at Stallard, a town, about twenty miles from Stettin.
'lt was-fold that there troops had come a conlideral4e
diflitace, by a circuitous route, for the purpofe of
attacking the French in the rear. Should a Ruffian
and Pruffian force have obtained poffeffion of Stettin
by fuch a en, de nabs, it would deferve to be clef-
fed with the molt brilliant exploits by which any
war has been Cliainguilhei The inconvenience that
would refult to the French; fuppofing them under
the necefficy of evacuating Poland; would be excel.-
five ; it would narrow theirliite of march, and Conti
pel the different divifions to retreat by almoß chef
:fame route, a oircumßance which could not fail to
:produce much confufion, and the greateß difficulty
with refpea to obtaining provifions.—But we are
apprehenfive the intelligence is altogether unfounded.
Priyate letters, of the date of the Both ult. froin
. Altona, received by the laft Mail, and written jags',
the Poll wis letting out, mention, that a report was
current in that City, and at Hamburgh, that the
French had been defeated with very great lots, by
the Ruffians on the Narew. The arrjval of the veffel
from StettintWhere no intelligence of the kind appears
to hare been received, takes away coniderably from,
the credibility of this report. The Commandant II
