TENTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
" Naueutourg, oOuber d.
" Among the fifty Rand of colours that have
been taken at the buds of Jena, are found feveral
belonging to the King of Pruffia's' Guards, and one
Cclonging to the Body Guards, upon which the in.
riptton is vtlitten in French.

,ft The King of PruUls hat demanded an armiflice
for fix weeks. The Emperor anfwered, that it was
impoffible after a vi Tory to give the enemy time to
rally. The Pr uffians, however, have fu indufitioufly
f, read the report, that a great many of our Generals
having met them, were made to believe that this ar-
milliee was aCtually concluded. Marfhal Soule, on
the 16th, arrived at Greuffen, in putfun of the co-
lumn where the King was, which is eftimated at ten
or twelve thoufand men. General Kalkreuth, who
commanded it. rattled it to be notified to Maraud
Soul!, that an armittice had been concluded. The
Marikal replied, that it was impollible that the Em.
peror Ihnuld have committed that error ; and that he
would give credit to the armiflice when it ffinuld be
announced to him officially. General Kalkreuth
jellified a defire to fee Medial Soule, who went to
the advanced pofis What would you have of)
us (laid the Psuffien General to him).; the Duke
of Bronfwick is dead ; all our Generale are killed,
wounded, or taken ; the giastell part of our army is
put to flight ; your fuccefs has been lufficieotly great
—the King has demanded a furpenfinn of arms--it is
impollible that your Emperor fh ,uld not grant it."
"General (anfwered Marlhal Soult), we have Fn. a 'I
long time b:en thus dealt with. Pe•tple appeal to
our geoerofity when they MC vanquiffied, and forget
the moment after. the magnahignity which we have
been accuflamed to Blew. After the battle of Au.
fladitz, the Emperor granted an armiflice to the
Ruffian army. This armiflice laved the army. Oh.
levee the unworthy manner in which the Ruffians
have now ailed. It is laid that they with to return.
We boon with impatience to meet them again. If
there had been as much genets:di y among them as
among 11,, they would have left us to remain in
peace at lan. after the m..derition which we have,
(hewn in the midlt of vianry. We have in no way
provoked the urjull war which you wage againfl us.
You have declared it wantonly. The battle of Jena
has decided Ilse fortune of the campaign. Our bull.
oefs is to do you all the injury we can. Lay down
',Aar arms. and I Mall wait in :hi, fituation for the
orders of the Enamor." The old General Kalkreuth
few well Olathe had nothing to fay in reply. The
two Generals feparated, and hoffilities reeommeneed
the moment alter. The village of Greuffen was
taken, and the enemy routed and purfued with the
(word at their backs.

The Grand Duke of Berg, and bfatlltals &tilt
and Ncy &mild, in the marches of the 117111 am! t Bth,
re unite by combined mo►ements, and milt the
enemy. They will, without doubt, hare feen a cow
fi.'erable number of fugiti►e,—the plains are cosered
wish them, and their Inures are encumbered with
cif siage, and baggage of ;very f.,rt.

Martha! Davoull is ruse this day to take poi•

The Imperial Horfc Guards have at length joined
us. Independently of cunfiderable magazines fcitad
at Naumburgh, a great number have been found at
Weilsenfels. The General in Chief Rucliel has
been found in a village mortally wounded. Marfbal
Soult has fent him his futgeon. It appears as if it
were a decree of Providence that all thole who have
raid forward this war (hould be cut off by the firtl
blows that were (truck."
ELEVENTH BULLETIN OF TUE GRAND ARMY.
" Maithourg, Oauber 19.

" The number of prifoners that have been made
at Erfurth, is more confiderable than one would have
believed. The paffpoits given to officers who are
to return home on parole, in virtue of the articles of
capitulation, amount to Gz hundred.
.1 The corps of Martha! Davouß took poffeffinn
of Leipfic on the r Bth.
" The Prince of Ponte Corvo, who was, on the
t7th, at Eifleben, to cut off fome Praffiart columns,
having learnt that the referve of his Majeßy the King
of Pruffia, commanded by Prince Eugene of Win.-
temberg, had arrived at Hall, marched thither.—
After having made his difpofitions, the Prince of
Ponte-Corvo caufed Halle to be attacked by Gereral
Dupont, and placed the divifion of Drouet in referee
oa his left—the 32d and 9th Regiments of light in-
fantry palled the three bridges at the charging pace,
and entered the city, fupported by the 96th. In lefs
'than an hour the enemy was completely routed.—
The ad and 4.111 regiments of hufFars, and the whole
divifion of General Rivant, fed the city, and
chafed the enemy from Fienitz, from Peiffen, and
from Nabatz. The Prullian cavalry endeavoured to
charge the Bth and 96th regiments of infantry, but
were gallantly received and repulfed. The referee
of the Prince of Wirtemberg was moll completely
routed and purfued for the fpace of four leagues.
" The refults of this combat, which merits a par-
tienlar and careful detail are soon prifoners, of whom
two are Generals, and three Colonels, four Rand of
colours, and 34 pieces of cannon. General Dupont
condueed himfelf in the wort dißinguithed manner.
The General of Divifion Rooyer had a horfe killed
ander him. The General of Divifion 'Drone', has
taken the whole of the regiment of Frefkow. On our
fide the Ws does not amount. to more than 40 men
killed, and zoo wounded. The Colonel of the 9th
regiment of light infantry has been wounded. Ge-
neral Leopold Berliner, Chief of the Staff of the
Prince of Pont. Curvo, has behaved In a diainguilh-
ed manner. By the refult of the combat of Halle,
there are no more of the enemy's troops that have •
not fuffered.

a The Pruilian General Blucher, with sOOO men,
has pallid threugh the divifi.tt of dragoons of Gene.
ral Klein, which had intercepted him. Having at
ledged to General Klein that el armillice had been
concluded for fix weeks, thateeneral had the fim-
plicity to believe him.

" Montefgnion, the orderly officer near the pegbn:
of the Emperor, who had been fent with &bit of
truce to the King of Proffla the evening before the,
battle, is retnrned. He has been carrierralong .for.
feveral days with the flying enemy. ,He piftures die
diforder of the Pruffian army a. inexprelTible. He-
verthelefs, on the eve of the battle their boalting4as
unequalled. The quellion was about nothing lets than.
to cut off the French army, and take from it columns
of forty thoufand men. The Pr tartan Generals aped,
as much as they could, the manners of Frederick the
Great. Although we were in their country, the.
Generals appeared to be In the molt complete igno-
rance of our movements. They believed that on the
little plain of Jena there were no more than Atooo
men, and that ton when the grcateft part of the ar-
my had fpread over that plain.
" The enemy's army retreats in confiderable
force upon Magdebourg. It is probable that feversl
columns will be intercepted before it arrives there.

No news have been received for fevers) 443 i
from Marfhal Sault, who had been detached with
forty thltufand men to plan: the enemy's a►my.

" The Emperor has eroded the Geld of the battle
of Itolbaeh. He has ordered that the pillar which
had been ereaed there litonld be traorported to Paris.
The head quarters of the Emperor were on the llltb
t blerftbmitg. On the 19th he will he at Halle.—
Very eonfiderable maga ,in of every kind have been
found in the latter city."

" General Macon, Commandant at Leipfic, has
made to the bankers, merchants, and traders of that
city the lubjoined notification. Since the tyrant of
the feas will not rape& any flag, it is the intention
of the Emperor to feize every where their merchant-

The Grand Duke of Berg arrived at Malber-
nadt, on the 19th. On the sock he inundated the
whole plain of Magdeburg with hi► cavalry, even to
the mouth of the cannon. The enemy'. troops, con-
fining of ifolatcd detachments, were taken at the
moment when they were endeavouring to enter the
place. A regiraent of the enemy's huU4rs, believing
that Halberhadt was Rill occupied by the Pruffians,

Generul Beaumont has taken 600 men of the

" Nothing, indeed, refembles more the prefent

Napoleon, at the prefent modtent, will combat with the PtufS.n
form, and thofe of almoit aU Europe united agaiat him without
a Coalition, by the impulbon alone of the Indivitlual fecurity of
each Rate, Bighting in its own elute, which is at the fame time the
general caufe, but that he will prefer to negotiate, and even to

facrifice, perhaps, fome provinces to Prufna,pining by that means
the time tioceffarY for the formation of ano,ocio ounferipts. But
next year, after having carried Into execution his other views anti
wait plans he will endeavour to make us pay him with ufury, when
we taped him kaft, after having taken this year to make kW pro.
partitions. For this reafon It is that we thuuld abiblutely have
%Peel at the peace, and alto that the prefent Grand l)uchy of Bus
Should be eompemated for in Aufpaeb. Mayerce wit always terve,

kalt think of It.
" If the Rlsioe and the Mahn are net decidedly the frontiers of
the Northern Confederation, It will not be in a flats to reflft any

If Frankfort with its territory, Hoelit and Konletein, do not be-
come Hefran, with all the intermediate country, bleffe will be
eaten up without power of refinance,fooner or later, and the ntua •
tion of Praia become very precarious. By indemnifying the Pri.

demnify Darniftadt for ell l's poffefflons on this fide the Rhine;
the entire castle of the Lower P.hine from I.ahn will then belong

have paff.d, fix irrevocably the afcentiance of France,
evet y thing gives reafon toli,.pe, every thing prefages
h tut:doers to the Dutch. They ait allied to the moll
powerful elation in the ortiverfe— their dearefl intrretls
unite them to France; they may partake of prof-
petit y with, ut ever fearing that fhe will Attie her
power over them. Whet, they fee the Ilrength of the
tie which eaills between the two States, the dynaflies
of which are united by the ties of blood—the Chiefs
of whiCh have only one mind and one heart, and
whole fplendid qualities art recognized, not by their
enemies, (ibis cannot be, fence the mat benevolent
and noble fentiments afluate them under every cir-
etiool.l axe), but by tloife envious of their virtue and
their glory. If the Dutch, I fay4ook upon there
advantages with the eye of impartially ani of truth,
they will fee the detliny of their country confirmed.
England regards the eflablifhment of their Monarchy
and her call of a French Prince re govern them, as
the greateß obflacle to her maritime fupctiority; let
them ceafe, therefore, to liflcn to her agents, when
there perfons proclaim that the I^t of their State
not fixed, aid when they fuppofc that the State of
Holland differs in nothing from an aelual units, with
France. The Dutch have only t i employ that found
judgment wi;11 which they are gifted, to preeive,
that if France had not withed to fecure the indepen-
dence of Holland, nothit.g could have prevented her
from effening that union, and that (lie would not
have bounded herfelf to the acceptance of the offer of
the throne of Holland for a Fiends Prince, although
that acceptance was the certain guarantee of an
eternal union between the two na:ions.
The Throne of Holland will be the eternal in.
hctitance of the dynaily of which Louis Napoleon is
she Moak. The love of his brother, his virtues. and
his good qualities are his r;uarantres. Let the Dutch
leave to the enemies of the Continent, and above .111,
of their prolpetity, to have recourle to ridiculous
means of counteraCtion; iet them oblerve in all the
ideas of the Englilh, the ferment of difeord with
their country, and let them difcover in the ardour
which they evince, to create and to propagate the
feeret of their true intentions. N 3 Dutchman can be
ignorant that thole, Iflanders have for a long. time
regarded the tottune of his conntry as their Inheri-
tance; that without having any need to concoct
Holland they reckon on fribdtting it by means of in.
minting its diffentions; (balling, by deflt ling its
marine, and invading one alter the other it. torein
poffellions.
" As the eonfolidation of its Monarchy mull
therefore drive the Englidi to dcfpair tcfeett t.,
their country, their Government dues every thing to

•M”III••••

retard it. Thole amongil the Dutch who can be
delirous that this confolidation thould not take place,
forget their own interell., and it may he laid, immo-
late themielves with their own hands."

in the coitift. of the lilt month the Roffianr,
learning that- the treaty figned at Paris by M.
Oubr iI, had not been ratified at Peter (burgh,
continued their muctovres for the purpofe of
railing the inhabitants of Montenegro, and the
IMouths of the Cattails. They focceeded towards
the latter end ctf the month, in affembling 9000 armed
peafants, to whom wee united neatly all the Ruffian
troops who were at Corfu, amounting to about 6;:o3
men. This army, thus complied, was nommanied by
General Pantalokoff, having under his orders Gene-
' ral Prince IVafininfky, who had recently art ived at
Corfu with reinforcements. The enemy not withflan-
ding, kept either on board his veffel-, or tinder the
wails of Caflelnovo. The General itt Chief Mar-
moot did not with to attack them, but being defitnna
neverthclefs to meet the ardour of our foldiers.'he I
made a retrograde march of two days, in the hope of
thawing the enemy from kis entrenchments. The
blind confidence of the latter induced him to conflict
this movement as a retreat, in eonfequence of which,
I on the 29th of September, the hOOO Ruffians, and the
goon peafants, were encamped on theihill of Biliblick.
'flit General in Chief advanced in the morning r,f
that day with 6000 men, to attack the enemy. At ten
the combat commenced, and after a brifk. fire of mid.
ke.ty, the Montenegrins were chafed from their pat-
! than, and they were teen to retreat front mountain to
mountain, in order to j tin the Ruffians, who formed
a fecond line. The General in Chief ceafed the pure
fait of them, and detached two battalions to turn the
petition of the enemy. On the morrow, at break of
day, we had a new attack, and we this time waited
tr the Ruffians. Our (tidier, precipitated them-
] (elves on the enemy, bayonet in hand. Although
both parties were defeated with great flatightert the
vifloty was not for an inflant doubtful. The enemy
retreated in the greatelt diforder, and left the field
of battle covered with killed and wounded, thofe who
could not regain Caffeint,vo,ll.d on board chalnupes
fent by the veffels to receive them. The foburbs of
Callelnovo, as well as the provificns crllefted by the
Ruffians, have become a prey to the flames. The
refults of theft two days to the enemy, were S5O kil-
led, of whom 350 %vete Ruffians, more than torn
Ruffians and Montenegrins wounded, 21 llandards
taken, and borne hundreds of prifoners. The French
army had not more than 25 killed, and 130 wounded.
The General in Chief has tranfmitted to his Majelly
the mott fatisfaelory account of the conduit of the
troops in theft different atlions.

" It has been afferted for lonic days, that an inflance
of the blickell treafon ...as been difcovered, and the
names of perfons of the highefl rank in the Pruffi rn
State are mentioned. It appears certain that an Of
ficer of come rank was (hot in the front of the Pia
flit army, it having Seen found that he had been in
the French camp, where he had difclafedthe intended
hour of attack, which BONAPARTE confcquently antici-
pated. It is added, that,the C—t H—z has been
fent prifoner to Stettin, and Alfa Isl. : the
' firll, for having kept back fur twenty-three days the
rder fur the Ruffians to advance. The latter is laid,
in letters horn Stettin, to be arrelled by order of the
Queen. it was reported here IA night that C—t
f-f
—z had 111.1 himfelf, but all Critic things require
farther confirmation. The If range delay of the
Rut:lens, and many other circumstances may per.
haps have excited lufpicionri of treafon which does
not exill. We are in great confufion here. Im
menfe quantities of goods that were already on the
way to Magdeburg, have been fent for back, and all
, goods dettined for Saxony, &c. are of courfe flopped.
It is mulch lea ed that all the Englilb goods at Leipfic
fair will be confifcated. It is tinderftood that all the
Enalifh (hips here will fail without delay ; though
moil people hnpe that the French will not vifit us."
" Ocr. 28.—T0-day we have received the Eng.
taut Mails of the 2tlf and 241 h. From the theatre
of war, and all the countries beyond it, we have no
news whatever. All the mails from the Empire,
from Saxony, Silefia, Prullia, and Itufflii, are 11111
wanting. To make up for the want of certain news,
we have reports in abundance. It is generally be.
lieved that fornething very extraordinary has hap-
pened to Bonaparte. It is, in fad, fingular, that
we have no account where he is, or the head quar-
ters of the French army. It has been cot:fidently
aliened here. fence Saturday, anti by many believed,
that Bonaparte is dead ; the Dory is, that he has been
(hot by a (Indent of Jena of Halle. As we have ab•
folutely no account" whatever, fume perfons believe
it Dill. The French Militia received couriers on
Friday and Saturday, but nothing has tranfpired
We are equally ignorant refpccling the Ruffians,
who however mull be in Silefia and Saxony. Some
pretend that they are in Berlin, having got there be-
fore the French. Travellers alio report, that there
has been a battle, in which the French were d4zated;
—but all this is to vague to be depended on. The
Duke of Brunfssick, as 1 learn, from good authority,
is expected to morrow at Aliona, where he has taken
lodgings for fix months."
