PRIVATE LI

OF THE ELBE, MARCH 2S.

The battle of Preuffifch-Eylan was murderous on
both fides, but the :loft of the French was the greater ;
fo great, that coupled with their unfavourable pa
Gaon, the army was threatened with diforganization.
It was vifited at once by hunger, ficknefs, and die-
content. No inconfiderable number deferted to the
Ruffians. There have taken place fence, a number
of partial engngements, in moft of which the ad-
vantage has been on the eibe of the Ruffians. JuR
as I was wt icing this, I received information that the
Pruffian Minister M. de Vofs, has written word to
the Pruffian Ambaffador here, that General Bennig.
fen obtained a viaory over the French on the sth,
at Heilfberg, and that he was in purfuit of the fu-
gitives.
We received here, tome days fine, the fame ac-
count, in like manner, from the fame Ptuffian Mini-
fter ; but it came in fo queftionable a fhape, that I
did not think it worth while to communicate it to
you ; and even now, I confefs, I fee little reafon to
give credit to it.
The lateft intelligence, independently of what you
I sill find in the public papers, appears to be

- -
On the tyth of March, the head quarters of the
French were fill at Oterode, and Martha' Mgena
was occupied in preparing an expedition, as it hems,
againft the left wing of the Ruffians.
Auflria, it appears, is difpofed to preferve her
neutrality, in fpite of appearances which teemed to
promife a contrary line of conduit.

[TIONS.

It is generally reported that our new Miniflers
have already projeaed Come military movements,
which it is hoped will at once harafs the enemy, and
give fuccour and fupport to our Allies. The Trani.-
port Board has in confequence intimated to the ufual
contractors for providing transports, that it will
loon be at liberty to treat for an unlimited number
for three months (mice, and that the contract
will not be limited to copper-bottomed (hips. It
is certainly the opinion of many diiiinguiffied mi-
litary men, that while the enemy was kept fo fully
occupied by the vigorous movements of the Ruffians
in Poland, and fo much preffed by our brave ally as to
be obliged to march to the grand army every (Didier
that could be removed from France ;—this country
might have taken the opportunity to dearoy All the
works at Boulogne, and annihilate the cock-boat flo-
tilla there—an enterprise which would have produ-
ced incalculable benefit in depreffing the arrogant
views of the common enemy, and railing the confi-
dence, and exciting the energies of other powers to
alfert their independence.
We would not, however, be underßood to fay, that
this is the objea of the projeled enterprise. We
have no pretenfions to any knowledge of its object,
and we fincerely hope that whatever it may he, Mi-
nifiers will difcharge their duty to this country and
to Europe, by keeping it a profound fecret, till the
blow can be (truck, without the enemy being able to
prevent it.
