KeNIGsBxsG, Feb. 10, (22) 1907.
General Sedmoratzky, who has juft effect
ed ajunelion with my army, has brought with
him 400 Pruf1ian prfoners, from 9 to 500
Frenchmen, and great deal of baggage, which
he has taken from the enemy. The retrograde
march Of Bonaparte rather refembles fight
than a retreat. It is foley to the fwiftnefs of
our Cohack's horfes that we are indebted for
the enormous quantity of prifoners that have
been daily made 6noe the battle ofEylau. The
day before yefterday they took 600, yefterday
$50, and to-day ss5, 4 officers, beGdes baggage
Wagons, forage and provifions. Every thing
that we can come up with is taken. The French
folders dying with hunger and fatigue, no lon
ger feel difpoGtion to defend themielves. At
the mere fight of our troops they throw away
their arms and demand bread. NV advanced
potts are at Lebfat. The whole army is in
full March. My head quarters alone remain at
Konisiberg, as my ill health, and the extreme
fatigue have undergone, compel me to take
few moments ofrepofe here. fet out to-mor-
