EXTRACT Or AN OPTICIAL LETTER FROM TRECEN-
BRIETZEN, OP SEPT. S.
a' The enemy has this morning been attacked and
.driven out of the pt'sition-he occupied, and as it ap-
pears has thrown himself into Wittenberg.. We are
as yet unini,:rined of the details of this affa;r. The
town of Zahne has been burnt down. The Crown
Prii ce has fixed his headquarters at Rideke, a town
sii uatrd near Niemeckb, and two German miles from
Treuenbrietzen."

• WARSAW, AUGUST f.,8.
. Hit Excellency -General Baron Bennigsen, Com-
mander in thief of the Russian Army, denominated
the Army 'of Poland, has issued an Order of the Day
Lathe said Army, to the following effect :
ORDER OF THE DAY.
" Soldiers 61 the Army of Poland !—The Armis-
tice is at an end, and you are again to march against
the enemy. New laurels call you to the field of ho-
ne+ on a foreign soil, and Europe again impatiently
experts your most powerful exertions, that she may
then with justice call yott• the creators of,the world's
repose. This ished-lor epoch is not far distant, and
GOD, the Protector of -the Russian arms, evidently
supports the champions of the good cause, and gives
the insolent and untameable enemy a prize to the
vengeance of their swords.
64 The French army now consists only of the re-
mains of the remnant that fled, and which, as wit-
nesses of the destruction of the innumerable heaps of
those killed in Russia, can only serve to carry terror
into their own homes, and to inform France how
detrinietaal for her, in the war against the Russians
in their own country, and how contrary it is to her
interest.
" Powers that were in alliance with our enemy,
discovered how vastly detrimental alliance was to
them, and save accordingly forsaken it. Even Aus-
taia now combats in conjunction with us :—another
victory, and the baleful influence of this proud and
haughty Foe will be annihilated.
" You, old warriors! your courage, so often tried
-,--your attachment to religion, the love for our Mo.
narcl}. .and our native country, which you have so
often sealed with your blood, leave me no occasion
to exhort you to new exertions ; and I have no doubt
that every step you take, will lead forward to glory.
Never will you fsrget what you qwe to your country,
and what it has a right to expect from you.
" And you, p.ting warriors ! called upon from
the bosom of your happy native country, to fellow
the same course, prove, by your actions, that you are
worthy of bearing the name cf Russians.
The first lesson of beating the enemy was learnt
• by yi u last sear hi your own homes, and at the.side
of all that was dear to you ; before you w.erc ac-
quainted with what it is to be a soldier, you already
performed. his duties and, placed in the ranks of the
defenders of 'our country, your blood flowed in
streams.
46 I rejoice, in the army which I have the honour
to command, to loci warriors who have taught• un-
der my command in tie last war against • France,
which will for ever be Memorable in the annals of the
wars .f Russia, and which then put our country iu
security against the inroads of the enemy. .
.66 The happiness which falls to my lot of being
-• still amongst you, assures me of fresh victories. The
world ha's learnt what the Rtissian can perfortn on
his native soil ;—but may it again learn how unani-
mously he acts with his allies, aqd with what enthu.
siasm he endeavours, before any thin else, to deserve
the name of a true warrior !
(Signed) “ The General and ComMander in
Chief of the Army of Poland,
. • 66 Baron Bioisicaum."

mand of the General of Cavalry Von Blucher, have
