who leap'd on board. An abide camp II
| Gen. Kalrcuth from the Russian head
quarters, Besides many English officers
were taken on board. The slocp OF war
is called the Fearless. Independently Of
the 100 English, there were 60 Russians in
this vessel.
The loss OF the enemy at the battle OF
Weichselmunde ON the 18th, was greater
than was at first supposed, q whole Russian
column which extended along the sea, Was
put to the bayonet. According to our ac-
count they have buried 1900 Russian dead
bodies.
The 9th, division of 1000 Russians,
commanded by general Tuckows, marched
from Brok, on The Bug, on Pultusk, to OPP
pose Itself to the new works W Jich had been
ordered to render the head Of the brigade
, more respectable. These works were de-
Tended by six battalions OF Bavsrians, COM
man12d by the Prince Royal OF Bavaria
The enemy made SIX attacks. In all, they
were rcpulsed by the Bav;,a iAi;s, and COM
| plctely cut to pieces by the different bat
Jeries Marshal Massena estimates the
loss OF the enemy At three hundred killed
and double that wounded.-What renders
this affair more briliiantis, that the Bava-
rians had 4CC0 men hess.
The Prince Royal bestows particular
praise on Baron dc Wreaen, a general off,
Ger in the service of Bavaria and of distin-
guished merit.
The loss of the Bavarians was l. men
killed and $50 wounded.
There was IS much absurdity in the at
tack made or the works of general Lemar-
rois on the 1871 and i'll the attack OF the
10th on Pul,usk, - there was SIX weeks
ago in the construction of Che great NUM-
Der OF RATS which the enemy threw up ON
the Bug. The result has Seen, that those
RATS, which cost six weeks labor, was
burnt in two hours Whenever we felt dis
posed 10 DO so, ard that those successive
attacks against we'll defended works, and
sustained by good batteries, caused them
great losses without any hopes OF profit.
il would appear that the object OF these
assurances was to draw The attention OF the
French army towards their right but the
positions Of the French Army defensive as
well as offensive are wen grounded in all
their bases and in all their hypothesis.
During al this time, the intervening siege
OF Dantzic continues 10 so on. The enemy
Will experience Il very serious injury in
losing this important place, and the 20 coo
men which are shut up therein. 4 mine
was sprung on the B.aCkheusCn which caus-
cd it 10 blow up. We opened ON the road
covered by four dccoys, anl executed the
descent OF the ditch.

Dantzic has capitu.ated. Iris fine place
is in our power. 900 pieces Of Artillery,
MAGAZINES of ali kinds, more than 100000
quintals of grain, considerable cellars of
liquors, immense provisions of Cloth and
groceries, every Kind Of ncoessaries for
tie army, in short a place o. the greatest
strength, eXhaus;ing our left as Thorn eX-
hausted our centre and Prag our right;
these are the advantages obtained during
the winter, and which nave s;gnalizcd the
leisure oitbc Grand Army. il is the first,
the finest fruit of the victory OF Eylu.-
The rigor of the season, and Snow which
has added new difficulties 90 il, have been
no obstacles to our .abor5. Marshal Lee
fybre has surnountcd every thing. Ec
has animated with the same spirit, the
S.;.scns, the Poles, the Radens, and has u
nited them all TO his purpose.
The difficulties winch the artillery has
had TO combat, were considerable. One
hundred mouths Of fire, 500 Co0lbs. ofpow-
der, an immense quantity of bullets have
been drawn from Stettin, and other places
in Siicsia II had been necessary to van
quish the difficulties Of transportation, but
the Nistula afforded a means prompt and
easy. The marines Of the navy forced a
passage for the beats, under the fort Of
Graudcn;z, with their usual resolution and
ability. General ChasscIoup and general
Riesener, CO.. LacosCe, and in general all
the officers, have served in the most distin-
guishcd manner. The miners have shewn
a rare iutrepi6ity. All the corps Of artil-
icry, commanded by gen. Lariboinicrc has
sustained It's reputation. The second re-
Igiment OF light infantry, the 12,h and the
Patisian troops, the general Schramm, and
the general Puthod have distinguished
themselves a detailed journal Of this
seige, Will be prepared with hdeiity and
care. 1t viii consecrate great number
Of brave actions worthy Co be recorded as
future examples, and deeds calculated to
excite enthusiasm and admiration.
May u, the mine has stopped the pas
sage Of the covered way. The 19tb The
descent and the passage Of the .|JsSe were
eXccutcd al O'Clock at night. Tie DIST,
Marshal Lcfcbrc having prepared every
thing for assault, they mounted. when col
Bacostc who had been sent in The morning
into the place, made IL known that general
kalkrSuth requested 20 capituiate on the
same terms which had formerly been
granted to the garrison Of Mayencc. This
was agreed 70. HaEClsbere would have
been taken without any great loss but the
I main body Of the place was still entire a
large ditch, flied with water presented
many obstacles to the besiegars, and would
have prolonged the defence for Is days.
I This being the case, IL vas thought propcr
10 grant them an honorable capitulation.
On the 9th the garrison marched out
! with Cen. Kaikrcuth atihcir head. This
: strong garrison which al FIRST consisted Of

1900 men, was reduced to 1000, of which
nunher 1000 deserted. There are even
some officers among the dcsertcrs. owe

rhe Russian gen. Kamenski, after hav-
ing been beaten on the 18th, had retired
under the Notifications of WeisChclmunde,
where he remained without daring to un-
dertake any thing, witness to the reduc-
tion of the place. When he saw batteries
of red hot balls established for destroying
! his vessels, he embarked and returned 70
Piilau.
| The fort Of Weschelmunde still held
out. Marshal Lefebre summoned it on the
26th, and while the capitulation was draw
ing up, the garrison came out, and surren-
dered themselves. The commandant, thus
abandoned, saved himselfby sea. Thus we
have become masters of the city and port
of Dantzic. These events form happy
presage of the future campaign. The en-
pcror of Russia and king of Prussia were
at Heiligerbeel. They must have learnt
the reduction of the place by the cessation
of the firing. The Cannonading could be
heard at that distance.
The emperor, in order to express his
satisfaction with the bcsieging army, has
made present to every soldier.
The siege of Graudentg has commenced
under the command of gen. Victor. Cen.
Lasouskie commands the engineers and
gen. Danthouan the artillery. Graudentz
is very strong, on account of the quantity
OF mines it possesses.
The cavalry of the army is in high or
der. The division of light cavalry, two
divisions of cuirassicTs and one Outrageous
were reviewed at Elbing on the 25th by
the grand duke OF Berg. On the same day
his majesty went to BischofEveGden, and
Stralsburg, where he reviewed the divisi-
ons of cuirassiers of Hautpoult and tie divi-
sions of dragons of gen. Crouch. He was
satisfied with their appearance, and the
excellent condition Of their horses.
The Ambassador OF the Porte, Seid-Ma-
| hommed Emen-Nahid, was presented Oh
