FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

NAPLES, FED. 18.—The fo:lowing is an extras of
a letter, dated Mon:e Larne, the 7th inftant : " We •
have received this day certain intelligence that there
has been lately at Meffina a fanguinary battle betv.een
the En?,fill] and tke btigands. Thirty five Englilh
have been killed, and the btigands have loft snore
than 100. Tire van guard of thefe latter, divided
inro two columns, tork refuge, in part, in the fort of
.P:late, while the other part paired the Streight,- and
debarked near Reggio. The E,,glifix on that day
opened the prix. r. to the uidortunate perfons who
have b;en expiating in isms the tufpkion of being
partifans or the French. Behold, thus the Englith are
at war againft the briganch, and their coalition is clif-
f ,ived.—.llwilieur.
GkMOA, FEBRUARY 20.—Since the Englifh have
fent tt,e greater part of their thipping to the Eati•
w ird, this part of the Mediterranean is happily freed
horn their prefence, and clrfequently open to the
French. Three French frigate and a co; vette have
lately patted by this port from Curried, bound to
Toulon.
MUNICH, FEB. 24.—The Ruffian.: have attempted
to mount on limfAack all the tn•bility of Lithuania.
Volhiltia, and the Ukraine, but they have refilled with
all their force. The Government has threatened to
fequeller the property of the lobility, which has
caafed great diceoutent in the %thole country.

BORDERS OF THE MEIN, FEB. 28.—We read in the
Gazette of Biellot, that the Prince nfhalt Pith,
v.ho WAS thought to he (hut up in Glatz, is let off for
Bratinau, in 13-hemia, with a (*lngle let Vant.
AUGSEUAGH, Fin. 25 —The lail advices from Vi•
enna nieotico, that Mr.Reichard, la:c French Contul
at JalTy, and his family, who had been fet:t into Ruf-
fta by General Miellelfou, were met at Pultova, 200
leagues from JatTy, hy a coulter vim brought the or-
der to fiit them at liberty. To this order was an-
nexed a very poiiic letter for Mr. Reinhard, from

SIXTY-SECOND EtILLITIN OF THE GRAND ARMY: I
" Liebßadt, Feb. at.
4' The tight of the Crand Army has been as vic-
torious as the centre and the left. General Ellen, at
the head of 25,000 men, advanced to Oflrolenka, on 1
the 15th, along both hanks of the Narew. Arrived
at :be village of Fliciec Lawowa, he met the advan-
ced guard of General Savary, commanding the s'h •
corps.._
_ _ _ _

" The 16th, as day break, General Gazen advan-
ced with a part of his divition to the van guard.—
At nine in the morning, he met the enemy upon the
road to Newr,mr• d, attacked, defeated, and put him
to the rout. The enemy attacked Oftrolenka by the
left bank. General Campana, with a brigade of the
of GAZAII, and General Ruffin, with a bri-
gade of the divifi'n of General Ondinot, defended
this (mall city. General Savary fent thither the Ge-
neral of Divifion, lteille, Chief of the Staff of the
corps of the army. The Ruffian infantry, in (even'
columns, attempted to carry the city. They were
permitted to advance half into the ftreets. They
were charged, thrice broken, and left the flreets co-
vered with dead. The lofs of the enemy was fo
great, that they abandoned the city, and took a po-
lition behind the land hills that cover it.

44 The divifions of Generals Suchet and Oudinot
advanced : at twelve o'clock the heads of their co-
lumns arrived at Oftrolenka. General Savary drew
up hi; little army in the following manner :
44 General Oudinot, in two lines, commanded the
left ; General Suchet the centre ; and General Reille
commatkling a brigade of the divifion of Gazan,
formed the right. He covered himfelf with his ar-
tillery, and marched to meet the enemy. The in-
trepid General Oudinit placed himfelf at the head of
the cavalry, charged with fuccefs, and cut to pieces
the Coffacks of the tear guard cf the enemy. The
file was very brilk, the enemy gave ground, and was
driven, fighting, three leagues.
66 The next day the enemy were purfued feveral
leagues, but without having been able to know that
their cavalry had been fighting and retreating the
whole night.
General Suwarrow, and feveral other of the ene-
my's rfficers have been killed. The enemy left behind
a great number of wounded, twelve hundred of them
have been picked up, and they are picking up more
every infant. Seven pieces of cannon, and two
ltandards, are the trophies of the viaory. The enemy
left 13co dead bodies upon the field of battle. On
our fide we had fixty killed, and between four and
five hundred wounded. But a lots that has been
deeply felt is that of the General of Brigade Cam
pana, wh a was an officer of great merit, and of great
expedations. He was born in the Department of
IMarengo. The Emperor has been much grieved for
his lots. The io3d regiment diftinguiffied itfelf par-
ticularly in this affair. Among the wounded are
Colonel du Hamel, of the 21ft light infantry, and the
Colonel of Artillery Neurrit.
" The Emperor had ordered the sth corps to flop,
and take winter quarters. The thaw is frightful.—
The feafon does not permit the doing any thing
great. It is that of repofe. The enemy has been the
fir( to break up his quarters—He repents of it."
PARIS, MARCH 7.—The departure of she Con.
fcripts of 1807, may be confidered as finifhed. There
remains only a (mall number of youth to fet out, de-
tained at home by indifpofition. Thus, in the fpace
of one month, all thit confctipts of 1807, called to the
a.aive array, have fet out to j• in their tiandards.
MARCH 9.—On the 2d, the Maufolees of Staniflaus
the Fir d, King of Poland, and his Qeen, were tranf•
(erred from Nancy to the church of Benzecours.

The Argus, obferving upon the operations of the
Grand Army, fays—" The Taft vi&ories of the grand
army have [tented the advantage of its military port-
tions, completed the fuccelfes of this prodigious cam-
paign, and prepared thole of the next, lhould the
blindnefs of the Ruffian Cabinet lead it to perfift in a
war prejudicial to its true interefls." That " what it
has already achieved, has furpaffed the expeaations
even of thole who hoped the molt from its courage."
Thu:. the Ruffians, unable to defend themfelves in
front, determined to attack the French army upon its
flanks, to Ili-etch beyond it by the Lower Villula, and
difengage Dantzic, Graudcntz, and the whole coun-
try ; ." but (concludes the article) a feeble divifion
of the Flencil army firfficed at firlt to flop the unex-
peeted match of the Ruffians; and being loon led on
by the Emperor in perfon, it beat the enemy, and
carried its conquells fixty leagues further than his
Maje(ty had thought of advancing before the fpring.
" The attack of the Ruffians, therefore, completely
mifearried. To flop, was to defeat them. The deli-
verance of Dantzic and Polifh Praia, was its objea;
their entire conqueft is the immediate effeul of this
expedition, and the French army has acquired finer
poiitions from it. No vu Cory then could have been
attended with more advantageous refults."
