FRANKFORT, June 4.
The following details on the petition of the Ruff
an and Prufian army given authentic. The
corps Of Pruan troops from the right wing of the
aieced army. It's rights supported by Friicha, and
its left extends Worniditt The Pafarge feperates
it from the French troops; that river is very ihaow,
Pruiiian delerters often pats it the French
my. From their reports it would leem, that the
Prullian troops much far extended, compare
lively to their number. The Ruilans occupy the line
leading from Wormditt to ShiPPenbie through HUFF
berg and Bartenhen.--They have frong guards pof
ted in front of their wings and centre. Gen. Platow,
hettmann of the CoIacks, commands that of the left
wing aud carries his reeonnotrings far Oeburg
A body of Rufian troops fepated from the Ruilian
and main army is ftationed beween Biaytock and
the Bug.
The communication between the French Pruili =
an and Rufian headquarters continues to he very
frequent; and general opinion is prevalent that
negotiations for the re-elabliihment Of peace are
followed uP with fome hopes offuccefs. ThelPruli-
ans appear to he extremely defirous of it. Accord
ing the Nuremberg Gazette, M. de Novofilzof
and baron de Hardenburg have arrived the French
head quarters as penipotentiaries.
The watch trade has been doubled in Europe
within the lait fifty years. 1t increates with the
progrefs of civilization, which renders the in
ftrument which ihews and divides time nearly as
precious asitime itfelf. If we may credit French
commercial agents account of the trade in the
Levant, England, before the interruption,
of hericommercial relations with Turkey uled
to fell annually twenty dozen watches at
Salonica, as many in the Morea, three hundred
dozen at Confantinople, four hundred dozen at
Smyrna, one hundred and fifty dozen in Syria,
two hundred and fifty dozen in Egypt.
Nineteen out of twenty were filver watches;
the gold ones are not ealily fold. The average
amount of the whole Englifh watch trade in
Turkey was valued at 100, oooi. lterling, annu-
ally.
PARIS, June 4.
The capture of Dantzick, which may now
be looked upon as certain, is the laft operation,
and in a manner the clofe of the fine winter
campaign which the Emperor Napoleon has
juf made. At the end of laft year, he conquer
ed PrufIia with the rapidity of lightning, and
the interval of month was fcarcely necetiary
for him to carry his triumphant eagles from the
banks of the Rhine to thofe of the Viftula; but
here he did not hurry on victory the incie-
mency of the feafon and the infurmountabe
difficulty of the roads afforded him time to diff
play the proper forms of irregular iege, & he
washable, in order to fpare the blood ofhisfodiers
to make ufe of all the refources of war. The mott
enlighted military men afert that the emperor
never fllowed himfef greater commander than
during the fix months which have jut elapfed.
Not only Has he been able, in the midi of diff
iculties of every kind which nature and the e.
nemy oppofed to him in an unknown country,
to preferve all the advantages of the campaign
of 1906, but he has gained new trumphs,
which would alone immortalize any general.
The battle of Eyau is the mott filming feat TO
be met with in the military annals, and the cap
ture of Danezic fecures the fuccefS of the cam
paign which is about 10 open.
