from the Grand Army, dated the 22d. His Majesty
the Emperor was at that epoch at I.i.lueubarg,• upon
the Bober, and enjoyed the best Iletldt. The cam.
paign was opened, and the mititar' nperatitkti which
every where were executed .have btken to our ad-
vantage. The Prussians and Russians. under .Gen.
Langeron, have been completely beaten. We shall
. . not delay receiving an official Bulletin.
On the other side the Prince of Echmuhl has taken
possession of Schweren, anti important place, and the
capital of Mecklenburg. • In short, it is probable our
troops entered Berlin ou the 23d.

.........—. . .
. Paris Papers have been received to the 31st ult.
containing very impnrtant intelligence, viz. that the'
campaign has actually commenced. , The first article
engaging onr attention is the letter of
,titil count
Dmv to the Minister at War, which we, likvi"..mb-
lished, and which, though evidently written us haste,
holds a tolerably clear perspective to flinty-can po-
litician, what will he the fate of the Allies,•lf-it
should tyro out contrary to the assertions of` thialt.,

of Government itself, that the Emperor Falp.Ncts 1411
not declared war against France. 'rite: extent to'
which-the Allieh Army has been beaten and repulsed
is not shown; but the consequence` of a first inc.
ceuful blow of the French must biierious'to'
them. The intimitien which that letter gives,
that white the French Armies on the Elbe were 1

of Beaudenberghiwert expected to enter Berlin en

of the CROWN PRINCE'S Declaration, that On fere.'
seeing what might- be. considered the object of the
enemy, he had placed his army between Berlin and •
Spandau, for the protection Of that capital.
Nothing, however, is, said of Austria—nething
has been done by her. . ..
