Fresh troops are joining the Russian
army, which by the middle of February
VIII comprise three hundred thousand
men, between the Niemen and the Wis
lula.
Gen. Tolstoy commands a corps OF
10000 men at Sielse gen. Bagonaut is
posted at the little village of Martinsky,
on the Omu.c;o, across which river he
has established bridge; gen. FOLLY
commands the left wing of the army of
Sielun the rear, with gen. Osterman,
has fallen back on the strong position oE
Kolno and the other corps of the army,
under the command of prince Dolgo-
rousky, gen. Somdof, &c. occupy Wiz
ma, Boi!stock, Mazow, &c. Gen. Bux-
howden's division occupies Nowygrod,
Clinki, Lomza, &c.
The whole of the army is thus con-
centrated within the circuit of few
miles, Notwithstanding the difficulty
to provide provisions and forage and
it is hence obvious that gen. Kamenskoy
is determined to resume offensive oper-
atoms the moment he is in condition
to do so. The Russian army is impa-
tient to meet the enemy--nothing can
surpass their enthusiasm and confidence.
Gen. Sit6F, previous to the affair at
Fraingurkaw, read at the head of his
detachment one of the French bulletins,
containing scurrilous reflections on the
Russian army, on which the soldiers in
tumultuous indignation exclaimed, "lead
us on, and we will punish our calumni-
ators." A strong Prussian corps has
taken possession of the dehIes Of Noko-
larken the French division under Ney
has fallen back behind the Dricbentz
and a corps of about 500 men, which
had pushedPeyond Osterodc, was sur
rounded by Prussian regiment at
Dentsch Eylau, and cut to pieces.
That you may judge of the risk and
danger which attended Bonaparte's per-
son, his aid de camp Segur is taken pri-
soner' Every one is anxiously waiting
further particulars.

eral Souchct, which attack lasted three
hours; but the enemy were repulsed
with considerable loss.
On the 26th Dec. the greater part of
the 18th division unler prince Galitzen,
had joined gen. Benigsen. The enemy
made al attack at eleven O'Clock, with
numerous force, under the immediate
command of 6onaparte, led on by his
t1e!d marsha's Davou5t and Lannes,
with a detached corps under general
SOuchet.
The battle was most bloody, ard con-
tinued even during part Of the night. At
the commemorate OF 1t, gen. Davoust,
with a corps Of IS 900 men, fell upon
our lett wing. In order to possess him
self OF PuitusG in our rear. Gen. Bag
Gavout, who defended this place with
1000 men, was obliged to give way to
she superior forces of the enemy but
rs soon as this was perceived by gen.
BeniGsen, he ordered that this detach-
meat should be reinforced from his
right wing, by a force under gen. count
Ostcrman, which joined and checked
the progress OF the enemy.
The attack upon the right wing was
impetuous. Marshal Lannes' numerous
corps Of infantry, under the command
OF Bonapartc in person, moved through
an underwo0dupon our advanced guard,
which had been posted there to cover
our wing, and fellupon it in SO desperate
4 manner, that gen. Barclay de folly,
commanding there, found, himself una
lie to maintain his position. His re-
treat having given an opportunity for a
masked battery to play upon the enemy,
the discharges of grape shot soon stop
ped their career. They attempted a
gain to outfank this battery, and obliged
gen. dc FOLLY to fall back once more.
Cen. Benigsen upon this, ordered his
own right wing to chang front, and sent
a rcinlorcemcat't to the support of pen.
de FOLLY. He thus checked the impe-
tuosity Of the enemy but the fire of ar

Of action.
The prisoners we have taken, declare
that they have lost in killed alone, above
5000 men-Our loss does not exceed
5000 men.
Gen. Benigsen extols the courage of
our gallant soldiers, and mentions that
Maj. Gen Kosen, with the Cuirassier
regiment Of the Imperial body-guard,
and two squadrons of Cargopol dra-
Goons, charged detachment of the
enemy, consisting Of 5000 infantry,

standing the CALLING FIRE Of the enemy's

Colonel Kruscr arrived at Konings-

from Gen. K alkrcuth, and a Russian
messenger followed the day after with
dispatches from general Kamenskoy.
Excepting q tiifing affair on the 28th
Dec. in which detachment O. French
cavalry made an unsuccessful attempt
to cut off corps of Cossacks, which
was posted in advance of Rozaw, it
does not appear that any engagement
has taken place subsequent to the 26;h.
The victory of the Russians, on the
Goth, was decisive: it's consequences
would probably have been more impor-'

strained in his pursuit Of the enemy by
intelligence that the divisions of Ney
and Angereau had formed a junction
near Grodzisk, and were advancing in

LONDON, MARCH II.

Some letters from Stettin were re-
ceived on Saturday, by a vessel which
sailed from thence at the latter end OF
February. No accounts ofany action
subsequent to the battle of Eylau, ex-
cept the affair at Ostrolenka on the
10th, had been received there. The
result of this was reported to be quite
different from what the enemy repre-
sented. The division Of Lasnes, which
was stationed on the Narew, for the
purpose Of preventing the junction be-
tween the main army and Gen. Won
Essen's corps, made an attack upon
the latter, which was received with
such hrmness as compelledthe French
to fall back precipitately and leave the
Russians to pursue their march unmo-
Tested. The knowledge that this rein
forcement, was on It's way, is supposed
to have determined Bonaparte to bring
on general engagement, in which if
he had been successful, the junction
would have been imprac,icsble. The
information upon which he acted, docs
not appear to have been accurate. No
exertions of Gen. Won Essen's corps
could have enabled it to Join the main
army for several days after the Sth.-
in stationing, therefore a division of his
army on the Narew, BonapaTte abso-l
iutely deprived himself of the prePon-
derence which its junction might have
ensured. Savary, with the force under
MS command, might have decided tnl

1t is not possible, without writing
volumes, to state a tenth part of the
proofs existing, that tie heads of those
men who now preside in our affairs,
have been turned by the plausible, but
hollow doctrines, of the French revo-
ntionary school. It's visible in every
step Of their progress, x in the writings
OF those who have written, as well Us in
their conduct. But it cannot be Of ser
vice to multiply evidences, if We are
predetermined to be deaf and blind to-
all that can be offered. The simple
fact Of the Jacobins possessing t7vo seas

WE have, in the preceding numbers

nature Of the contest in which France,

now bring the question home to our
business and bCsoms--Is America se-

AS the hopes Of the promoters of
the Interval projects of the constructors
who would make America province
of the Jscobin empire, must depend
much upon secrecy, we do not think it
will be possible to exhibit evidence
such as would convict in a court of
law but we hope to awaken the APP
prehenslons of our comtrymen, and
induce them to keep a watchful eye on
those whose writings and conduct in
society, render objects OF suspicion.
It's fact which we believe win not
be disputed, that Mr.. Jefferson while

was by way of alluding to this fact, that
Gen. Hamilton expressed the celebrat-
