NINTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
Beckenkoviski, July 25.

The Emperor removed his head-quarters on the 23d to Kamen,
passing by the way of Ottchatsch. On the fld, the Viceroy oc-
cupied the bridge of Botoheiskovo. A recounoisatice of 100 ca-
valry, sent on Bechenkoviski, met two squadrons of Russian and
two of Cossack hussars, charged them, and took or killed about
a dozen of men, one of whom wasan Officer. The Chef d'Esea-
dron, Lorenzi, who commanded the reconnoissance, praises
Captains Rossi and Ferreri. •
At six in the morning of the 23d, the Viceroy arrived at Be-
: chenkoviski. At ten o'clock he passed the river, sad threw a
bridge over the Dwina. The enemy wished to dispute the pas-
sage; his artillery was dismounted. Colonel Lancrobe,

who are made to march against their will, and model
Ito march by the cane. The French soldier, a free. I
,
I man, knews no other bond than honourand the law.
We have never been told that you thought lightly ot,
our valour : that would be too absurd. Amsteten,
liellabrunn, Austerlitz, ‘Pultusk, Eylau, Fried-
land, are too fresh in your memories. As for tts, we
see at this moment merely what ,:e have always seen.
Fly before us ! You fled from Swisserland,—you fled
from Austerlitz—(happy that you were suffered to
regain your own country)---you continued to fly after
the day of Friedtand,—and you fly still! We ex-
petted nothing less ; and it cannot surprise us now.
By the most able manoeuvres, your armies are sepa-
rated and divided from teach other,—your columns
wander without a point,—all your intrenched camps
are abandoned,—your vast magazines fall into our
hands or are destroyed,—the capital of Russian
Poland is in our power, and six millions of Lithua-
nian Poles, confederated with five millions of Poles
of the Duchy of Warsgw, lake up arms to demand
their rights! Already more than• 600 e of those
generous Poles have deserted your camp, and' come
to our's. You foresee our retreat :—where have 1
weever beaten the retreat before you ? You hold the I
same arrogant laziguitti that you held twenty years
ago. There has been *Apia change since in the

You speak of the insatiabie ambition of our S9ve- I
reign : but which is the move inibitibus=the Sove. ,
reign who, after victory,• evacuates immense provin.
ces, through love of peace ; or he who, after defeat
and disgrace, unites, almost at, the same time, Fin-
land, Moldavia, and Wallachia, to his States—seizes I
on 'melons of Eastern Prussia and Gallicia—and
feeds his ambition with the plunder of his Allies, the
Swedes, the Prussians, and the Austrians ? Where "
would this man have stopped, if he had been victor 1
nines ? You give us your advice to desert ! None litt
traitors advise treachery. We will not offer yon
that advice : we despite desertion. We will c.ll only
to the unfortunate Poles—we will tell them that their
country is re-established,—we will tell them to quit
the ranks of their oppressors, to come over (and, in
fact, they do come, and will more and more every
day), and form under the white eagle of Poland, I
which led their forefathers up to the walls of Mos-
cow. We will tell them that the hour of resurrec- 1
tion has sounded for their country •, that the Conic.
deration of Poland, under tho Grand Mareschal I
Adam Czartoriski, calls them from the service of
Russia—and that honour and religion command them
to come and take their part in the mighty work of
the revival of their country. You oiler us an
asylum in Russia. What, would you have ns quit
I our lovely land for your horrid climates ?—quit
1 the protecting laws -of a civilized nation, for
bondage to the soil and slavery ? "We are men—
should we become beasts of burthen ? and what could
you give us in return ? Your whole empire in one,
would not be o oriti a single province of our's. You
talk to us of the conscription—of military tyrauny I
The conscription is a law of the land : sixty millions
of citizens easily supply the recruiting of our armies.
We march because it is the command of the law.
But you, pitched upon by the masters whose pro-
perty you are, you are here for life, without know-
ing why one has been chosen rather than another, I
and simply at the good pleasure, of your Lords.
I You are delivered oter by them to the recruiting, as
they would deliver bellies or oxen. Military tyranny I
ilo you say ? The tyranny is with you, who are
I called, and can never rise to rank !..-with you, with I
" whom fear, and not honour, is the nerve of disci- •
plies! At all events, the hour is not fir off, 'rhea ;
. we will give freedom to your brothren,--when we
will extinguish slavery in the Russian Empire,—and
when we will re-establish ev(en you in your rights. 1
Every peasant shall then be the subject and citizen I
t of the State,—he shall be master of his labour and
his time,—he shall be no more the property of his ,
l Lord, like his horses or oxen. Now,then, and thus, I
we will solicit you to desert; we will -tell.yon, that
Iwears actually fighting for your rights and your fa-
milies, and that you ought to second us agaihst your 1
1 oppressors. The shivery of man is against his rights;
and against his religions. We end, by thanking yes
tiler your communication of your Plan of the Canso
paign. Yon retire to draw us on : you say we site
sensible of the generosity of telling us so. Continue
:to inform us of your inteatiOns by the noble means
which you have adopted; we will net fail to turn

Russians are retiring at every point, and it is not
-supposed they will take any position between the
Duna and the Dnieper.—According to intelligence
from Bucharest, Iltnhader Effendi arrived on the
27th in that town. He is charged with a mission
from the Porte, the object of which is not at present
precisely known.
BERLIN, JULY 25.—0 n the 20th of this month,
' arrived here his Excellency M. Baron de Humboldt
lour Minister at the Court of Austria, from Vienna,
and the General of DiViSioll Count de Ca ' mem,
from Naples.
" Mimeos JULY U.—The army commanded by
Prince Bagration is cut off from that of the Emperor
Alexander, and cannot any more continue its opera.
tions with those of the latter. It is said that it is
moving towards Mohilow ; but according to all ap.
petrances the French will be at Mohilow much
sooner than the troops of Bagration. This General
has drawn all his troops from the southern parts of
Lithuania, by ordering them to come and join him as
soon as possible, in such matiner that considerable
districts on this side have likewise been evacuated by
the Russians.
The Austrian Corps d'Armee, commanded by the
Prince de Schwarzenbarg, penetrates in this direc.
tion towards the Dnieper. The corps of the Russian
army, which it was said was assembling on the Iron.
tiers of Gallicia, and menacing that frontier with an
invasion, is extremely weak, and is not able to on.
dertake any thing to operate as a diversion in favour
of Prince Bagration. The reinforcements which
were destined for him were from Moldavia and Wal.
lachia, but under the present circumstances, they
cannot even quit those provinces. News had been
spited that General Kutusow was arrived within e
dozen leagues of sir frontiers of Gallicia, and that
he was to take the command of that corps of the
Russien army which was under the orders of Torma.
soff; but it is now asserted, that this wit a mistake,
and that Kutusow has been recalled to the Russian
head-quarters.
PARIS, Auo 4.—Letters from the army mention,
that his Majesty has departed from Glouhakoe on
the 23d July, to put himself in front, and continue to
pursue the Rufedan army, which has not dared to
await the French army in its intrenchments on the
Dwina' and which, by the retreat it appears to make
towards Moscow abandons a part of its maritime
provinces to the French army.—(Gazette at Francs,
Aug. 5.)
NAPLES, JULY IL—The Palermo Journal, dried
the 29th of July last, contains a Royal Edict, prohi,
biting the exportation of corn under the most severs
penalties. Could it ever have been beffved, that, at
the very moment when the riches of a new harvest
should have indemnified Sicily for the privations sad
for the horriblefamine of the last winter, that the
IGovernment of the Island, oppressed eed despoiled
lby the English, should have considered of meanies
for preventing, or rather retarding, asecenddistress,
still more dreadful than the former. The extreme
rigour of this measure proves how verydesolateis the
actual condition of the Sidlians. They have not
solely to deplore an incredible dearth of provisions,
but likewise that of all articles of the trot necessity;
from whence an innumerable host of malcontents am
every day arising, and complaints and revolts am
heard of from all corners of the Isle. Things ere
come to such a point, that the fury and violence to
which the people have given wdy, are atone sufficient
to she* how far the epoch is actually dreadful iR
Sicily. Lately, at Catania, the populace, goaded by
hunger, by main strength and force of arms, possessed
themselves of some remaining provisions which re*
found in the public magazines, and this tumult cost
the lives of several individuals.
At Messina, in the centre of the commerce of Si-
cily, the weight of misery is, perhaps, still more
dreadful. The peopleare in an inexpressible ferment;
proclamations distributed about, and fixed up in all
the streets excite them to threw off the yoke, and
to deliver themselves from the power which oppresses
them.
Such preventions have doubtless no need of any
commentary, but the actual circumstances render
every day more remarkable the expedient adopted by
the English to obviate so many evils—an expedient
which they so well know how to conciliate with the
kind of waifare of which they have so often given
us proofs. In order to diminish the mass of the
consumers, they employ the gallies, they mety
the prisons, and vomit on our coasts a heap of those
unfortunates, in the hope of exciting some disorders
in our prOvinces. But their hopes have beendeceived;.
for the individuals which they have sent us, who art
usually thrown into the sea in the middle of the
night, bale been constiwined to gain the Continent
by swimming; where they have fallen into the howls
of the Legionary Guards of the coast ; or tithe-miss
they have voluntarily presented themselves before the
Local Authorities, in order to obeli° it milder des-
tiny from a clement and generous Government.—
i
Thug, if those Allies in the prisons and on bon:
the gallies, are reduced to curie England, whet must
be the sentiments and the hopes of the upfortunate

Lord Castlereagh contrasts the officers of the old
mime with those of the new, and eulogizes the for-

tKer at the expence of the latter. Without doubt, j
he does not comprehend in this hypocritical interest,
the French whom his Government sent to perish on '
iloiberon,Rock, and all, those renowned seamen of
which its fearful jealousy caused the loss to the last
tan. Bat without detaining ourselves any loner
iith afflicting recriminations' we are content to take
up the gauntlet which the Noble Lord bat thrown
down. In every time Frenchmen have held lonoor
dearer than life; the itscontestible facts we have ad-

duce& prove we hare not degenerated, and that our
officer- were for a considerable time provoked by ex•
n;..ple, before they followed it. Bat here is the dif-
ference between tbe past and thepresent. It was a
ter:lent of giddiness in which Auglo-maala had in-
vaded all Fiance. At that epoch our military men
would, as at present, bare shed their blood for their
country and their honour ; but led away by a dan.
;crous enthusiasm, kept- carefully up by men who
knew how to profit by it, they had not at heart that
fore for the country, that legitimate pride, that just
Lured for our enemies, which now forms the charac-
ter of the nation • then scarcely any person, neither
the monarch, the court, nor the people had an idea
of the force of France, nor foresaw the grandeur of
Ler destinies. Now Frenchmen are thoroughly
worthy of that name • are proud of it, and we

most all obtained assistance, administered with a
noble liberality, but they have even enjoyed their

it'in peace; and thus, by a It pipette-Oft, add to
the happiness of their existence. We admit them
into our manufactories ; they follow, without ob-

In the same discussion, the same Minister, forget-
ting all the reproaches merited by his countrymen,
upon the subject even of his. complaints, dared to
threntee the French prisoners with a more severe con-
dition. What are the fresh barbarities which this
Noble Lord promises us? According to an authentic
snavootion, signed at Gaylen, it was decreed that
121C"00 French shoeld evacuate Spain, preserving
their a rms,ott condition of net serving till exchanged.
501reely had they arrived et Cadiz, when it was noti-
ied to them in the name of England, that the capitu-
hlinn ',geoid not be carried into execution, and that'
they were prisoners of war. Not a soldier, not an
English Cenoall had appeared upon the field of
battle; we had not treated with them; under no
pretest whatever could the English Government
interfere to prevent the excretion of a capitulation
signed between the two Belligerent parties. After
''eh a violation of laws observed in star by civilized
'rations, all the French had a right to escape from ties
.ads of their enemies, as they have done, after e.
,etention of more than a year; Generals Minima's,
'd Lagrange were demanded by the English Con.
