HELIGOLAND *AIL.

HAMBURGH, SEPTEMBER 21.
The Russians and Swedes have already shown
themselves on the other side of the Elbe, and after
an affair which took place near Dalenberg, two Ger.
man milts distance from.Luneburg ; and where they
nearly cut to pieces a corps of 5000 French troops,
have entered Luneburg ; only General Pecheux him-
' self, with about 200 men, escaped. The .General
has arrived here.

It is reported that the Hoper battery is taken by
the Russians; but this is, however, not quite certain.
General Cotten is dispatched in haste with a parr of
the troops to Haralberg.
Yesterday still more of the Prince of Eckmuhl's
corps again arrived here, and who are going the
same road, so that we may very shortly look to a
battle taking place there. What is to become of us
GOD only knows. We are under great apprehensions
for our city ; for voluntarily they will not quit it.

TUE FOLLOWING ORDER OP THE DAY lIA3 JeZT
APPEARED :
• " Zarenthein, Sepetuber 19.
el Marshal Prince of Eckmuhl conceives it a duty
to acquaint the 13th corps with an event which has•
occasioned us some loss, but which covers with glory
the active part of the .50th division, commanded by
the General of Division, Pecheux. •
This General had received orders to pass to the
left bank of the Elbe with four battalions of the :;..1
regiment of the line, and one of the 105th, six pieces
of cannon, and 80 horse, to keep in check the troops
which the enemy had passed to the left bank, a:r act
according to circumstances. •
a This General was attacked on the lGth about
!iron near Dalenberg, by farces five times as many
as his. Surrounded on all sides, and fired upon by
a numerous artillery, the six cannons having quickly
been put hors de service, by the enemy's artillery, very
superior in number, General Pecheux, obligel to
make head on all sides, and obliged to support more
than twenty charges, without any of his battaliims
having been penetrited, opened himself a passage
and-brought back all who had not been placed hen
de combat.

• The troops preserved their eagles and the honour
of arms ; they, as well as their chiefs, merit the
highest eulogiums."

TOTAL DEFEAT nes PA lit orDAVotIBI•Ps
ARMY ON THE ELBE.
A i-leiigOlancl Mail, which arrived late hit fright,
iir..inglu an official confirmation of this impartaht in-
telligence. We were already atintainted *ith the
tiutlines of the fact in a lets authentic shape, antfhow
We have the details from the Prince of Eckstein.
himself. It appears •that the division of the Chime
PRlNtec army; which he left behind him to watch
the movements of Davousr in the Mecklenburgh
enuntry, has stilt only succeeded in clearing the whole
dr that itnnienee district, but has actually pushed a
Wong torpi Across the Elbe in the direction of Lune-
burg, which they have occupied. They ate thus in
the rear of Davousr's positions around Hamburgh,
and the%are also able to communicate with the main
army in the Vicinity of Torgau. But they did not
obtain this advantageous situation without covering
themselves with glory, nor will they be permitted to
retain it without another desperate struggle, for 1341
VOUST has dispatched reinforcements from Hambitrgh
in all haste to dislodge them, if he can.
Of the affairs which preceded the occupatiorroT
Luneburg we know little, but the career of the/killer
must have been of a brilliant description. The
French division, commanded by General Feeney;
has been literally annihilated. The Hamburgh article
states, that it amounted to 5000 men, and that 200
only returned t—this is probably correct: but what
arc we to think of Monsieur DaViousr's statement ?
lie Says, that PECUEUX sustained twenty charges
without any of his battalions being penetrated, and
that he brou2,llt back all who were hot hot': de comht.
This is an ingenious way of describing a defeat, but
it would have been gratifying to have been told what
was the number of the band of Heroes who were
thus able to Am awartvith d 4 their eagles and the
honour of their arms."

• Our Readers will Lee that the theatre of the war is
now reinoved to the left ank of the Elbe—this is
positive proof that tl:e Allies, with the exception of
the memorable attack en Dresden, have been every
veuere sUccessful. We may now daily expect the
most agreeable intelligence from the head-quaiters
Of die CROWN PRINCE.

By the subjoined letter it will appear that hopes
are entertained that Hamburgh will be orate more de;•
livered. from tht French yoke :

confirmation of the defeat of DAvousr, brings intell!
ligence that the Danish forces who were, conjointly'
With the French, garrisoning Hainburgh, had been

posed to indicate a disposition on the part of that Go-

GENERAL Monsatr.--=The following anecdote is I
related of this distinguished character i M. D'Orsay,
an emigrant, had forfeited all his property to the State,
but had been allowed to return to Paris, and was con-
sequently compelled to live in the most penurious way
on the trifle he had saved, when he *as one morning
surprised by a visit from the General, who, after ex-
pressing his compliments, said, I have bought an
estate, Sir, which before the Revolution WAS your's ;
you know such property sells very low ; I have had it
valued, and must beg your permission to leave with
you, as your just right, the difference -between the
price and the estin tte, and he laid down a sum of
Money sufficient to make the poor emigrant Com-
, fortablc."

EARLY LIFE OF BERNADOTTE.—This celeb:aated
personage, upon whose actions the attention of Eu.
tape is now fixeyl with anxiety, was born on the 26th
of January, 17;',3. at Pau, the capital of Beam, the
birth-place of the Cleat Henry. His father, who was
a Gentleman. of moderate is-rtune, followed the pro-
fession of the law, and took care early to inspirkin his
son just and elevated sentiments. It appears, however,
that he did 'not succeed in familiarizing hitn with
'elassicai knon ledge, or literature, in general. The
youthful John -had too touch vivacity of character to
attend to the repulsive duties of study: Beam, a
province of France, situated to the 'north of the Py-
rennees, has alw.sys furnished excellent soldiers. Tile
inhabitants are well made, roblist, active, courageous,
seher, and lively. Agreeably to the manners of the
tountry, Bernadotte was early enured to fatigue and
hardship. In winter, as well as summer, he was tic-
tustomed to run about bare-headed and bare-fabled,
with the children of the lower classes ; and his fa-
vourite aliment was bread, with some fruits. At the
age of 15 he eloped from his father's house, and en-
, listed in the regiment of -Royal Marines, in which corps
he served in the East Indies, during the American
war, Under the orders of M. de Bossy, and with the
squadron of Bailly de Suffrein. He was made a col--
' poral a year after his enlistment, and was appointed I
serjeant on his return to France, in 1783. Some
time after this he was made Adjutant under Officer.
His regiment *as then gartisoned at Marseilles, and,
soon after his arrival at that place, the French Revo.
Ititibn broke out, which opened, at once,.a career ler
Bernadotte, and many others Ike him, wherein they
might signalize dick Wells, and reap the reward of
them. His condUct, however; has generally been held
to he more pure than some of the Revolutionary Gene-
rals, and he was always much beloved by his soldiers.
An anecdote is related of hitt which thews that he can
assume a requisite dignity of station. When he was
serving with Bonaparte in Italy, the latter invited
Bernadotte to dine with him, and requested him to
come early. Bernadotte did so ; but when he arrived,
llnroc, who was then Captain Aid-de-Camp to Bo-
naparte, informed Bernadotte that General Bonaparte I
was busy finishing his post, and be?ged him to wait
a while. Bernadotte replied; "'1 ell the General *,
Chief that it does not suit General Bernadotte to w
D.
in the anti-room in the army, since at Paris the D
rectors thernstives never exposed him to a similar
mortification."—Duroc was going to reply, when
Bonaparte suddenly made his apptarance, saluted
Bernadotte in a smiling manner, apologised for not
having come immediately, and proposed to take a
walk in the garden whilst waiting for dinner.—
As they were going along, Bonaparte said, ,4 I am,
sorry, General, that, instead of sending in your name,
you did not come straight into my closet. You need
not sluilbt the pleasure I should have felt. The Of-
ficer told me, that two Generals requested to speak
with me, without giving me their names; but as soon
as I heard your voice, which I know very well, I
was anxious to repair the mistake. I am sorry you
could suppose I had the intention to use etiquette
with you, whom.l consider as the right arm of the
army." To this, Bernadotte replied, ~ I am, my
General, of a country where the men have as warm
heads as good hearts; I have only to congratulate
myself on your goodness towards me, and it was on
that account I could- not help expressing surprise on
hearing Duroc tell me to wait."

Saturday a Gentleman of the name of Pluocumr,
ascended one of the tallest poplar trees, in the Dane
John Field, Canterbury, in his endeavours to recover
a cockatoo, which had escaped from the custody of
sister, Mrs. MUTLOW, of the Precincts ; unfor-
tunately at the moment he had caught the bird, and
was about to descend, from the breaking of a branch
lie fell to the ground, and was so much hurt on his
back, that little hope was entertained of his recovery.
