EXTRACT FROM TIIE JOURNAL Or MILITARY OPC-

RATIONS OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY.

General Platoff informs, under date of the 6th of
January, that the Prussians receive our troops in a
friendly and open manner, and provide them willingly
with provisions, and their horses with forage, for
which we give them receipts. In return for their
good conduct, the most rigorous discipline and su-
bordination are observed, to the great satisfaction
of the inhabitants. When General Chernicbeff en.
tered Marienwerder, on the 12th of January, the
Viceroy of Italy and Marshal Victor were scarcely
able to escape from the Cossacks. General La
Pierre, four Office', and two hundred men, were
made prisoners ; likewise a courier, expedited by
Napoleon to the Prince of Neufchatel, ‘vith
patches. On the road to Neuenberg Lieutenant-
Colonel Adriaueff, in pursuing the enemy, met a
squadron of Baden, destroyed it almost entirely,
and took forty-seven prisoners. The Emperor's
bead-quarters are at Souwalki (no date) : on the
13th of January, at Ratschky.
Read-quarters on the 19th of January at Lyck.

When the voice of the Swedish People called on
me to succeed to the Throne, I hoped, on quittisl
France, tft be always a,ble to unite my personal af-
fections with the interests of my new country ; my
heart cherished the hope that it might identify with
the sentiment of this people; yet always preserving
the remembrance of its first affections, and never
losing sight of the glory of France, nor of the sincere
attachment which it has vowed to your Majesty ; an
attachment founded on a confraternity in arms, which
so many great deeds' have illustrated.

The rupture between Sweden and France at this
time is unquestionably of consequence to usl'as cos-
fleeted with the affairs of the North; but by no

tach to it. It should be,considered at what time all
this came out, and that so many events are related
at so distant a period from their occurrence.—

When the French Charge d'Affaires was ordered
to quit Stockholm In four-and-twenty hours, Borth.-

It will hen!' object of curiosity to see how the Chief
of the Great Nation will take this affroqt. It is not
clear that he will direct his vengeance particularly
against his formerly beloved Prince of Potrro Convo,
since he informed BONAPARTE, that the regal
power was greatly limited by the constitutional laws
of Sweden. Perhaps the enraged Emperor may aA•
vise .the PRINCE ROYAL to leave the kingdoms
he placed him in, and that he will provide
hi., with a better; and that this will be the
only way he has to prove his esteem for the interest
of a country which he served with his sword nearly
thirty years. Our Ambassadors have not made
much figure at their respective stations of late years:
we shall we how far General Bore will be able to
