TRUE UTSDOM-

The Emperor of Russia has given a
fresh instance Of an enlightened mind,
IL an Ukase which has recently been
issued 1t St. Petersburgh, IN favor of
Commerce. In order to give more
consideration and distinction to COM
merciI pursuits, the Ukase recon-
mcnds tic establishment of CONNER
rial ACCOMPANIES 1t allows the nobility
10 become members Of the first and
second classes Of merchants, it being
the anxious wish of the Emperor to
draw csos1f the ties between these two
descriptions of his subject. Whole
sale merchants may even aspire to the
FIRST Offices Of the state, and are to have
the privilege Of appearing at Court.
Measures, are also 10 be taken TO pre-
serve and perpetuate the names of the
most eminent merchants, and transmit
them with distinction TO posterity.

ADDRESS

To the French army, by Gen. Bennigsen.
Soldiers Of France Formerly when
foreign armies meditated the conquest
of your country, and came even into
the bosom Of your land to attack you,
you fepelsed them witAa valor and per-
severance which the whole world adj
mired, The report Of your brilliant
exploits reached even to US. Your
courage, your loyalty, was known to
Us and the soldiers Of France became
the objects of our esteem. But it is
no longer your country which demands
your efforts. A war, foreign to your
interest, tears you from your families
your friends, your home. A tyrant,
whose Unsuitable ambition knows no
bounds, drags you into distant climates,
and sheds the blood of FrenchmeD.
that he may bestow crowns upon his
relations. He forces YOU to comba,
with people who are ready to offer YOU
pledges of their ancient affection but
who viii shed the last drop of THEN
blood IN the sacred cause Of then
county.
BENNINGSEN."

LONDON, MARCH IL.
Letters have been received f om q
person Of consideration at St. Peters
burgh, which contain some further par
hcuiars OF the battle OF Eylau than have
yetbeen Published in this country. Be-
napafte's Guards, tits known, were a.
mong the troops that attacked the CEN
ire OF the Russians. They went into
battle about 1900 streng; and only one
Officer and thirteen men. remained af-
ter the action. The French reserve
was ordered 10 advance TO the attack of
the Russian ceatre !: they refused, and
were ordered 10 be fred upon by one Of
the French divisions. They returned
the fire, and several were killed on both
sides.
When the Messenger left Peters
burgh, that tity had been illuminated,
and he saw six French standards dis
PLAYED as trophies of victory on the
grand parade. 1t was rumoured that
Murat was Killed. The frequent re-
verses experienced by the enemy had
caused much discomfort to prevail in
their ranks. One of their Generals is
reported to have deserted, and to have
arrived At Petersburgh but be this as
at may, we are assured, from respects-
be authority, that numbers Of the pri1
Yates had actually deserted and that at
. the date OF the last advices, upwards of
500 of them had passed the frontiers of
Galllcia.
i IS strongly reported in Paris, and
indeed appears to b. generally credited,
that Marshal Murat--7the Grand Duke
of Berg, as he IS called-has died Oft

TO The People Of Germany, ~ the Cona-
ma Ia Chief Of the In1neriaE Rus
sian 1ly.
BY. long series of the most unform-
hate events, your country has become
a pray to the most cruel and insolent
Of foes. The manifold stlifeTinGs to
which you have been subjected are
known to the Emperor, my. most gra-
tious Sovereign and his Majesty is
so much fhs more disposed to. take the
wafmest interest therein, as lie himself
has sprung from German blood and,
mindful Of the Intimate ties which ex-
ist Between his Imperial House and
many of the German Princes, be has
never ceased to entertain, with regard
to the German Nation, all thar esteem
10 which a people so numerous, en-
Eghtened and Yirtuous, are Justly en-
tTtled. With this sentiment of the
warrfest Interest in the fate Of Germa-
ny, are naturally and inseparably con-
join a bis Maiesty's wishes to deliver
this Empire from its oppressors, and
restore 1t to IT'S Just freedom and indie
pendence. His Majesty viii think no
excrtion too laborious to attain this
great object
/ Inhabitants Of Germany The
whole Russian army fights for your
interests Under circumstances so fa-
F0ss5le, shall you alone remain mac

LONDON, MARCH 81


We regret to say, that a serious
misunderstanding exists between his
Majesty and the members of his Cabi-
net Council. which threatens the i'm
mediate dissolution of an administration
uniting all that was eminent in talents
and influence among cur public men,
and which promised fair to direct for a
long series ofyears the councils of the
nation. The Catholic and Dissenters
Bill, which opens to all his Maiesty's
subjects, the Priyiledge of holding COM
missions in the army and navy, has
given rise to this unpleasant opposition
of sentiment between the king and
those whom the constitution presumes
to be bis confidential advisers. This
measure, which Ministers fully con-
sidered of much Importance, his Ma
lesty, has insisted not only upon their
relingaishing, but also that they should
engage not to introduce it at any flu
ture period. This latter consideration
could not be acceded to by any of the
members ofthe present administration /;
his Majesty has, therefore, ordered the
Duke of Portland to prepare new ar
rangements, a circumstance which
must be sincerely deprecated by every
one who is concerned for the honor and
happiness of his country.
Ii is said the Russians have had some
smart actions with the Turks, and are
making towards Constantinople.

consequence Of the recent proceedings,
and the present position Of the enemy
apoR the Continent, which enables him
70 commend the navigation Of the riv-
ers Eibs, Weser, and Ems, bis Majes-
ty has Judged ii expedient to re-estab-
fish the most rigorous blockade at the
entrance OF those rivers, and to main
Tain and enforce the same, according

ed ard allowed in similar cases

tits said the Russia1s hsve had some smart
actions with the Turks, and are marching
towards Constantinople. 1t seems probable
that Dalmatia will be the scene ofimportant
operations
The Porte presents busy and important
aspect A Russian army, Of more than
10000 strong, is lowering on the banks Of
the Neiste. Every where is heard the
dreadful note Of preparation. Events Of the
most interesting nature are likely soon to
call our attention TO that quarter.
II IS reported that 1900 French con-
scripts, who were On their way lately from
Paris 70 Mentz oyerpowered their quad
sni disbanded themselves.
This, if frue, SUhlch, hoSrever, zre aoab-,
