FROM THE PARIS PAPERS.
FIFTY-FIFTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
Warfaw, Jan. 29.
44 The details of the battle of Mobringen are as
follows :••••
al The Martha' Prince of Ponte Corvo arrived at
Mohringen with the divifiem of Drouet, on the 25th
of this month, at eleven o'clock in the morning, at the
very moment when the General of Brigade, Padod,
was attacked by the enemy.

44 The Marlhal Prince of Ponte Corvo ordered an
immediate attack of the village of Pfarresfeldehen,
by a battalion of the ninth of light infantry. The
•village was defended by three Ruffian battalions,
which were fupported by three others. The Prince
of Ponte Corvo caufed alfo two other battalions to
march, to rapport chat of the ninth. The aflion was
very Corp. The eagle of tae ointh regiment, of light

- • 7

infantry was taken by the enemy ; but on the afpert
of the affront with which this brave regiment was on
the point of being covered for ever, and from which
neither victory, nor the glory acquired in an hundred
combats, would have purified it, the foldiers,
mated with an inconceivable ardour, precipitated
themfelves on the enemy, whom they routed, and
recovered their eagle.
• In the mean while the French line, compared of
the Bth of the line, of the z7th of light infantry,
and of the 94th, were formed, and attacked the
Ruffian line, which had taken its pofition on a riling
ground. The fire of the musketry was very bras
and at point blank diffance.
44 At this moment General Dt.pont appeared on
the road, with the 3zd and g6th regiments. He
turned the right wing of the enemy. A battalion
of the 32c1 ruffled upon the enemy with its nfual
impetuolity, put them to eight, killing feveral of
them. The only prifoners they made were thofe who
were in the houfes. The Ruffians were purfued for
two leagues, and were it not for the coming on of
night, the purfuit would have been continued.
Counts Pahlen and Callitzin commanded the Ruffians.
They left r zoo dead on the field of battle, and loft
300 prifoners and feveral howitzers.

" Laplanche, General of Brigade, diffinguithed
himfelf. The 19th Dragoons made a fine charge
againa the Ruffian infantry. It is not only the good
condo& of the foldiers, and the talents of the Ge.
nerals, which are moll worthy of remark, but the
expedition with which the traps broke up from
their cantonments, and performed a ma-sh whicle
would be reckoned extraordinary for any other troop,
without a man being miffing in the field of battle.
It is this which eminently diainguiffies foldiers who
have no other impulfe but that of honour.
" A Tartar Meffenger is jut} arrived f, m Con-
ftantinople, which place he left on the tft of this
month. He has been difpatched to London by the
Porte.

16 On the Both of December, war with Ittla:A ;Lia
beenfolemnly proclaimed. The Pell& and the Sword
had been fent to the Grand Vizier. Twenty eight
regiments of Janiffisries fet out for Conftantinople ;
feveral others pared from Alia to Europe.
66 The Ambafrador of Ruffia, his whole fuite, all
the Ruffians in that city, and all the Greeks belong.
ing to them, to the amount of lEVen or eight hundred,
quitted Conilantinople on the 29th.

" The Englifh Minifier, and the two Englilh men
of war remained fpellators of thefe events, and ap.
peared to wait for orders from their Government.
" The Tartar paired through Widdin the isth of
January. He found the roads covered with troops,
who marched with alacrity againa their eternal eat.
my ; 60,00 p men were already at Rodfchuk, and
zg.ooo, compofing the advanced guard, were between
that town and Buchareft. The Ruffians halted at
Buchareft, which they occupied with an advanced
guard of 15,0cr0 men.
" Prince Su zzo was proclaimed Hofpodar of WA.
lachia. Prince Ypfilanti was proclaimed a traitor,
and a price (et upon his head.
" The Tartar met the Perfian Ambalrador half
way between Connantinople and Widdin, and the
Ambairador Extraordinary from the Porte beyond
that town.

41 The vidories of Pultuile and Golymin were al-
ready known in the Woman Empire. The Tartar
courier had heard the news from the Turks before he
arrived at Widdin.
" The Thermometer continues at two or three de-
grees below o. It is the moll favourable feafon for
the army."
