WILNA, NOVEMBER 26.
According to the late accounts from Prince Sch-
wartzenberg, he has obtained further brilliant advan-
tages over the enemy, and diitinguishedthiinself filth
the same activity which characterited him at-the
commencement of the campaign, his advanced guard
having arrived at Sloneim, at the moment when 'the
enemy did not think themselves pursued so closely.
On their leaving that town, a corps of Russians,
20,000 strong, under General Saken, were left be-
hind, and found themselves 'cut off from the army .of
Tschitchakoff. General Regnier immediately halted
his army, tcripake head against this corps. Prince
Sch ►artzenberg opened a communication with him,
and marched two 'Attstrian divisions to joie: him. The
Russian General perceived the danger of his position
and attempted to force his passage-through, on the
15th, at Wolkowick ; li(ut he was repulsed, and ex-
perienced a great loss.
The 16th was passed in mancetivring.
On thi 17th the enemy were attacked, and driven
back at all points. '"
On the 18th the two armies came to an engage-
ment, and the enemy were 'put to complete rout.—
FroTri three to four thousand men killed or wounded,
3000 prisoners, 40 caissons loaded with ammunition,
and antnormous quantity of baggage, were the fruits
of thtx day. The Russians are briskly pursued, and
on the 19th all the villages were fiilbd with their
led and wounded. Not a remnant of the wrecks of
his corps'will join the principal Russian army. 'rhos;

The Journal de PEmftire refers its readers to the
i intelligence from L'Orient, as affording an explana.
tion of a paragraph in the STAR of the 30th ult.
lin which it was stated, that a French General nil
two French Colonels had been landed in Fiance by
the Arnlide frigate. 0 The pretended General,"
it
says," was the old Chouan Chief Debar, and his,,;
di;ant Colonel, Droz and Degnern, ruffians notorious
by the crimes which they committed in dur
broils. They embarked at P;typiouth in the be,gin-
,
nine of November, and arrived in Quiberon Bay,
where they remained four or five days on board,
pot daring to land. At length they caused thetas
Selves to'Be conveyed to the Isle of Houat, where
they were put on shore on the 16th November!.
—Mier stating their capture, it saysi4 there wem
found on Debar, who was shot en the 23d November,
several detailed reports of his operations, dated
France, Morbihan, the 2d, 3d, and 4th December._
The first is Addressed to the Prince of Wales, the se.
cond to the Duke of Kent, and the third to the Be.
cretary of State for the War Department: Debar
announces in these reports, that he had made his way
into Britanny in the midst of the greatest dangers ;
that he had already assembled A great number of
tnalcontents and deserters, and would soon be in a
situation to strike some decisive blows ; in short, ha
ga4e a daily statement of his progress up to the 4'.h
December. Thus, it appears, that before he had err.
rived at Houat, and perhaps before he had left Lou-
don, this able General had drawn up a faityid at.
nt of the signal allvantagei which hp was to ols.
tain twelve 'days after eis death. 'We cannot refrain

NOVEMBER 24.
WORT OP' Tin ADJUTANT-GENERAL MARQUIS PAU-
/A=4 TO HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, DATED LUGA,
NOVEMEIR l 8 :

igin my dispatch of the 15th, I had the happiness
of informing your Majesty of the taking of the town
of Kreuzburg by Major Felatow. At the same time
I made an humble representation of my intention of
taking possession of the town of Friederickstadt, it
being a point of consequence, from whence the enemy
might easily have made inroads, both into Livonia,
and the Government of Pskow. For carrying this
into effect, agreeably to the plan I had formed, the
following has been performed t
g, A detachment from the corps of Lieutenant-
General Lewis, consisting of 1300 mess, under the
command of Major Bogaunau, attacked the town
from the left bank of the Duna, whilst the troops
under Colonel Redenger attacked it from the right
bank of the same river.

" To cover this attack, and prevent the enemy
from assisting the town, another detachment from
Lieutenant-General Lewis's corps, consisting of 1000
men, under the command of Major Jelestrow, was
detached to make a false attack on Wallhoff, for the
purpose of amusing the enemy and taking off his at.
tention fromFriederickstadt. The attack on this town
was made on the 15th inst. at niae o'clock a. m. and
at one o'clock in the afternoon, the enemy, after a
defence rather obstinate, quitted the town, and fell
back in disorder on Jacobstadt. He was pursued
about the distance of ten wersts on his retreat by
Major Bogaunow. In this affair we have taken one
officer and about 70 privates prisoners. On our side
we may estimate the loss of all the three detachments
at about 460 men. The dead bodies fctund in Friede-
rickstadt, and round that town, prove the lost of the
enemy to have been Very considerable
" As I had previously supposed; Marshal Macdo-
nald detached a cessiderable reinforcement from
Misshof to Fredericbtadi, which being on Ms way
opposed by dui tietaidaawat lumbar Major Jeboptiew, ate•
tacked him, but not being able tb fore: their way past
him; could not prevent the capture of Friedrickstadt,
in which there were about SOO Bavarians, and three
squadrons of Prussian cavalry. The enemy having
for some time past fottned a plan for fortifying his
sight flank, he, for this purpose; on the morning of
the Sd (ISth), attacked the detachments of Lieutel
rant-General Lewis, which covered Riga, and endea.
'oared to force hini to re&reat iato the fortifications of
the City, in order thereby to cover his tight flank, and
by taking advantage of the river Duna being frozen,
to find means of carrying on his operations in my rear.
" The enemy, who had a greater number of troops,
especially cavalry and artillery, the half of which was
horse-artillery, drove back the advanced guard, pos-
ted at the Customhouse and Plankinzum, and forced
them to fall back on their own corps.
" Lieutenant-General Count Lewis left the posi-
tion he had hitherto occupied near to Dalei Church,
and took another which was far more advantageous
for his force, at the distance of three wersts from his
former one.

---
" The former position was advantageous to us, on
account of the surrounding morasses : but this advan-
tage was now last, as being, at this season of the year,
rendeted by the frost, ih some measure, passable for
the cavalry ; and consequently the corps of Lieute=
nant•General Lewis, being very inferior in cavalry to
the enemy, might easily have been turned : whereas
the new position, being less extended, strong by means
of the defile, and surrounded by coppices, does not
permit the enemy's cavalry to act with effect.
" This action, which ceased when the night came
on, was not decisive, and on the following day, be-
ing the 16th, at 9 o'clock in the morning, the enemy
renewed his attack, with a heavy cannonade. Our
artillery, by a well-directed fire, soon silenced that
of the enemy ; and our cavalry having a favourable
Position, although furiously attacked by that of the
enemy, repulsed it, and obliged it to retreat, which
by the good effect of our artillery, was done in great
disorder. In such manner all the enemy's attempts
were defeated at every point, and he, at 12 at noon,
entirely discontinued his attack, being compelled to
retire. In this action the enemy lost about 400 men
killed, and 18 were made prisoners. On our side
We had about 100 men killed or wounded.

Papers. some of our contemporaries say to the lsih
instintioi-bnt this is a misprint—the real date being
the 19dt. The intelligence ht these papers is impor-
tant. We are informed of the defeat of O. part of
TsnoLtocriPr's army, but the details are, as usual,
so suspicious in their texture, that we put no faith
in them

We were the first to announce the landing of an
unfortunate French General and two Colonels on the
French coast, for the avowed purpose of taking ad-
vantage of the insurrectionary symptoms, which, for
many months, have appeared in France. The Jour-
nal de PEseepire does us the honour to allude to our
statement, of November 30, with a view to chew that
they were exaggeiated. The laboured efforts of the
French papers to conceal the real truth, convince us,
however, that our accounts were under, and not
over-rated.

The Paris Papers contain nd intelligence of BONA-
rAwrz, nor do private letters enable us to say any
thing on the subject—in the mean time, Rumour, with
her thousand tongues, is busy, and his death, in a
♦ariety of ways, is reported throughout the whole
Continent. Every hour that we do not hear some-
thing of him in an authentiC form, increases the pro-
babilities against his escape.

Since writing the above, we learn, that French Pa.
pers, of the date of Thuisday last, have been received
in Town. They are understood to state, that BONA.-
PARTE was alive and well on the 90th of November.
They are constrained, however, to admit that the

imprisonment of his Minister at Cadiz, proceeded to
