EXTRACT FROM THE OFFICIAL REPORT

TO THE ROYAL GOVERNMENT, OF THE LIEUTENANTS
AND COMMANDING OFFICERS CV THE GENERAL
STAFF, MESSRS. VON BODT
Dated ELEINO, January 29, 58.4.
46 The intended junetion between Marfhal Berna-
dotte and Marfhal Ney, the former of whom marched
in the night between the 24th and 25th from Elbing,
has been interrupted on the retreat of the latter near
Mohringen, in confequence of the expeditious and
unexpeFted arrival of the combined Ruffian and Pruf-
fian corps. In the enemy's retreat, near Mohringen,
Lich(lair, and Saalfeldt, four thoufand of them were
taken prifoners, ten pieces of cannon, and two (lands
of colours, as well as the whole baggage of Marfhal
Bernadotte. The brave Lieutenant-General Von
Anrepp, however, of the Ruffian corps, has been
killed by a mufket-ball.
" Martha' Bernadotte has been driven back, by the
perfevering advance of our forces, into the forells of
Stralburg, twenty leagues from Elbing ; and Marfhal
Ney to Przafnics, in new Eaft Pruffia. The former
is completely furrounded ; but the latter has joined
Prince Murat, and the combined army will fhortly
give them battle. The Ruffian army is commanded
by the General in Chief Von Bennigfen, and confifts
of ten divi(ions, or of upwards of two hundred thou-
fand men, which will be joined in a fortnight by
Hetismatin Platou, with twenty pieces of riding ar-
tillery, and thirty thoufand Coffacks.
POSITION OF THE TEN DIVISIONS OF THZ ARMY.
" T. General Von Eden, with forty thoufand men,
(lands near Brochi and Wiffocki, in Macomiecki,
New Eall Pruffia.
" 2. Major-General Sedmorataey, with twenty
thonfand men, near Johandburg, Cloys, and Nicko.
laiken, between the Lakes.
"The remaining fevers divifions,which are fronted
by two van-guards and a corps of cavalry, have
their left wing extended towards Neidenberg and
Paffenheim, with their right towards Eglau.
" General L'Eftocq is potted from Saalfeldt to
Reifenberg and Marienwerder.
4 According to fome reports, for the veracity of
which we cannot, however, altogether vouch, a large
corps of Cofricks and Calmucks is thortly to come
from Pillau, through the dittrid of Dant:tic, to aCt
againit the infurgents."

The Cnunfellor Theveuit writes as follows to the
Government of Dantzie. His difpatch is dated Ma-
rienwerder, January 27 :

44 On the 24th and 25th of January, two aelions
took place at Mohringen, in which the divilions of
Ney and Bernadotte were slmoß entirely deflroyed
or difperfed, and the remains of the latter Officer's
corps is cut off. Murat is wounded and taken, Bet•
nadotte feverely wounded, Rapp killer, and General
Fourbier made prifoner.

" Bonaparte is ill at Warfaw of a nervous fever.
The Polifh insurgents are in a wretched condition.—
The contributions of Elbing, amounting to 60,000
crowns, arc retaken at Muhringen, with the entire
equipage of Bernadotte.
The fiat are at Marienwerder ; the Ruffians are
at Culm ; the blockade of Graudenz is railed ; the
bridge of Thorn has been carried away by the ice,
which renders the paage of the French acrofi the
Vidula very difficult.
11 Lannes has 101 l both his legs ; fix thoufand
French are killed, and four thnufand wounded. The
vianry was Ate:fled by the arrival of the two corps
of Benningfen and L'Etlocq. A general engagement
is expeaed. General Viaor, who has been made
prifoner, is arrived at Dantzic."

Our Readers, by comparing the above with the
54th and 55'h bulletins, will fee that BERNADnTTII
moil have he:n worhecl, as Rated in the -Official
Report ; for his ohlett was to form a junaion with
Grnetal MY, vdACII was prevented. Ttle French
themfelve: Rated, that a number of light battalions

belonging to /sTsy's divifion returned to their canton-
merits, after marching twenty league's, and alarming
the right wing of the Ruffian army. It is not hid
i what the objet of this extentive excurtion was, and
an equal !Bence is preferved as to the circumnances
which compelled the expedition to return. We have
little doubt it was occafioned by the defeat of BiR•
PiIDOTTE, and that, if the jtmetion had not been pre.
vented, both divifions would have appeared before
Koningfberg, perhaps advanced to Memel.
Upon the accuracy of the &ft of thefe official re-
ports, we have.the greateft reafon to rely. Indeed,
the circumftance of its being publifhed• at Elbing, of
which the French had been previt'ufly in poffeffion,
is fufficient to convince us, that the enemy had bona
fo completely defeated, as to be obliged to abandoi
that country. It was probably the intelligence of this
reverie which caufed Borravarr a to quit Warfaw in
inch a hurry on the 27th ult. as Rated in the fifti-i
fourth Bulletin. From the pofitions of the refpeelive
armies, a,s well as the confiderable affairs which were
daily taking place, it is probable that a general en-
gagement has been fought before now.
Their Pruflian Majeflies, in confequence of the
fucceffes on the part of the Combined Army, have
returned to Koningfberg.
The fubjoined extra& from private letters and fo-
reign journals received by thefe mails, will put our
Readers in poffeffion of other particulars.

BERLIN, FEBRUARY 1•

We have received intelligence that the troops of
Heffe Darmftadt, with two fquadrons of the fourth
regiment of huffars, entered Graudentz on the z3d
ult• from whence they drieve out the PrufEans, who,
were compelled to leave them in pofrefllon of the
fortt efs.

WARSAW, FEBRUARY:.

The Emperor continues his thort excurfions. Yef.

any PrufGan Officers into Berlin, who, being prifoners
of war, leave their nations contrary to their parole
of honour.

The Tartar Ibrahim, a Janizary, and the Greek
Stephani Alexandrake, have paired through this city,
on their way to Holland, from whence they will con-
tinue their journey to England.
All that we have advanced relative to the rupture
between Ruffia and the Porte, is confirmed by official
letters received by the Turkifh Minifter in this city.
The Greek courier, and the Tartar, have brought
difpatches refpeiling this event to M. d'Argiropoloo
and Rate, that befides the troops on the Mores of the
Danube, which are very numerous, the Grand Vi-
zier hied-elf will foon join them with a refpeßable
force.

PASEN, FEB. S.

41

An Order of the Day publi&ed here notices the
falfe and abfurd rumours circulated refpaling the
army, in which it-is obferved, that people who are in
the habit of exercifing a cool and difpaffionate judg-
ment upon what, they hear, are not likely to fall into
thefe flimfy nets , but the credulous being deceived,
has a tendency to interrupt the public tranquillity.
In confequence of this, orders have been given to all
the. Imperial gendarmerie, the Police Officers, &c. to
apprehend all perfons who may utter any thing pre•
judicial to the interelts of the Grand Army, and the
fecurity of perfons and property ; Inch perfons are to
be brought to the Head Qarters, and there confined
till his Majefty's pleafure be known. Such offenders
are alfo informed, that it will not be confidered an
excufe for them to fay, they heard fuch news from
others.

General Dombrowfici's divition, on its march to
Dantzic, dated Head Quarters, Conitz, Jan. 27,
dates as follows :

The Pruflians fly before us. This day we look
poffeflion of Stargardt. My left wing at Stolpe cuts
off the communication between Colbert; and Dantzics
and we have not feen a fingle patrole belonging to the
enemy. If they fhould defend Dantzic with as mach
courage as they have defended thefe provinces, it Will
be neceirary for the Poles to come forward in nn►on
with their brothers in arms.

immenfe fore& feparate me from General Dom•
browfici ; but to-morrow I Mall certainly join him in
the rear of Stargardt.
All the inhabitants, particularly the Germans,
awaited our arrival with great anxiety. They tx•
peßed to meet with avengers in us : and they htTe
found us brothers. The town of Canitz, notwitb•
(landing the complaints that have been made again&
it, has given me (hiking proofs of its patriotifm.
demanded cloathing and other necefraries for money'
—the town has promifed to deliver them gratis, and
it is already attively engaged in realizing its promifc.
'Plink, then, what we have to expel from Danttic.

BANKS OP THE MAINE, FEB. 7L

The Frankfort Journal lays, '4 The Court of Vi
enna having paid the contributions that were re.
quired by France, had arplied to the Emperor
Napoleon, that the fortrefs of Braunau might be
evacuated by the French troops. Four regiments
have already received orders to march towards Up.
per to take poffeffian of that fortrefs."

PRIVATE LETTER.—ALTONA, FEB. t. 3.
lsy mofi refpeaable advices from Stockholm, via
Copenhagen, under date the 9th inf. it appears, that
Bonaparte has been indefatigable in his attempts to

make his Swedifh Majelty renounce his alliances.—
Monier was his principal agent in dick dark and
infidious neguciations, in which Napoleon prornifed
to reward Swedifh perfidy with Nt.rway, which be-

Lungs to Denmark, with which power the French feign

to be on fuel' a friendly &wing. Theft bafc terms
were patiently heard and tranfmitted to the Court of
Malmoe, but being only verbal, the Swedifk Cabinet
fent orders to have them in writing, Which requea
was alto tomplied with. Hereupon the Swedilh Mo•
starch fent copies of the perfidious offers not only to
the Courts in alliance with him, but even to his neigh-

bour the Danifh Coutt, who will now plainly per.

ceive what it is to be the friend of fuch a being as
Bonaparte. Suffice it to fay, that the terms were
fcornfully rejetled by the Swedillt Monarch, who tent
for ananfwer the following laconic lines ja-
tnais de ma tie, je druiendrai tele d'un brigand comme
voser."l4 I than never in my life become the ally of
loch a robber as you !" This anecdote is authentic,
and communicated from a mofl unexceptionable
fource. Not only with Sweden, but even with the
Emperor of Germany, Napoleon ufes the fame dia-
bolical intrigues of (late, but with as little foccefs.—
By refpeEtable private advises from Vienna, of the :ft
itatant, the Hungarian army was arrived, in great
part, over the Carpathian mountains, on the confines
of Gallicia ; and all the temptations, and alluring
baits, held out by the great defpoiler of morality and
mankind, are rejected by the Aullrian Court. As
the latter has paid up all the arrears of the contri-
butions due to the French, the fortrefs of Braunau
will, it is laid, be delivered up again.
" Private letters are laid to have reached Vienna
from Cracow, that the Aultrian General, Baron
Vincent, is gone from Warfaw to St. Peter (burgh.
The exchange of couriers between Warfaw, Feted.-
hurgh, and Memel, was more brifk than ever. Orders
from Napoleon have been lent to the' interior of
France, as well as to the confederate German courts,
to fend troops to Italy, where great apprehenfions
were entertained of a vifit from the Ruffians."
ANO rHER LETTER, SAME DATE!

"- It appears, that 4ft c r the battle.fought between
the Ruffians and French on the 25th ult. at Nlultrin-
gen, in which the French were far from being
yiElorious, the Ruffians retreated to get more tein.
forcements, and returned to the field on the 26th
ult. when they attacked the French telt wing under
Monte Corvo, at Muhringen, and completely routed
:rad repulfed it. On this occafion, the conttibution
in money, which Bernadotte hid tailed at Elbing,
fell into the hands of the victors. Unfortunately
the Ruffian Li-attenatit General Anrep 101 l his life
in the tint battle in Aiohtingen. It was the plan
of the French, who were abfolutely without pro
vitions, to proceed firaight to Konigfberg and every
other part of Pr uflia. For this purpofe, Bernadotte,
at the head of 3oco men, had entered Elbing, al-
lady on the 3 tfl, while the tell of the French left
wing endeavoured to turn the tight i.f the combined
' Ruffians and Pruffians, in which they completely
failed. Bernadotte (offered not only a teat .lefeat
a: Moltingtn, but the Ruffians put toed him farther.
• Matlhal Ney cam to his affiilance, but met with 01,
Lime brave reception ; and the two Ftench corps,
v ho were zo have wined the Ruffians, found thei:
irvlc left wing turned by the combined efforts c:

the Pruffians, who are Rated to have followed
up their advantages ; infonich, that the „whole
left wing of the French was cut cff from every
communication with the grand army, on the. 27th
ultimo. The latter railed
,the blockade of Gran-
dentz with the utmoft precipitwion ; while the
Pruflians, from one quarter, transferred ti.c thea-
tre of war, with their allies, frOm EaR .to. Weft
and South Pruffia, fince the former occupied Mai ien-
' werder, and the latter Culm, at the dillance of a few
Englifh miles from Thorn. The Itiflians fi.l!owed
the fl; ing enemy, who fell back as far as the Yittula ;
where, however, ;all the bridges were broken and
dragged away by the thawing !boa's of ice. The
news•of a battle may, therefore, be hourly exreaed.

"Mat (hal Kamenikoi, with the R Alan grand army,
was alto faid to be advancir.g, from Byaliiir,ek, Of.
trclenka, &c.. which places dlr. Freoch hed evacnatekl
for want of neceffaries, to make a divertior. Tke
number of couriers who have palled through Frank-
fort on the Mein in the night oft.he 6th init. were all
to demand the acceleration of the ari ival of the con
fcripts and other troops."

General Visor, who is arrived a prifoner at Dant-
zic, will, it is Paid, be tranfported to St. Petersburg,
at the exprefs requell of, the Emperor Alexander.
The news of Count Bernftotff, Datiilll Prime Mi-
niller of State, having teceived the grand crofs of
the Leginn .of Honour .from Napoleon, is untrue.
The Commandant of Brannan has fent to Warta...,
