London, Jan. 6--Sir Hartford Jones has
brought the latest accounts to Government
from the Russian headquarters. He had
4 full opportunity of seeing them with his
own eyes and we have his authority To say,
that he never saw an army in Il higher
state of discipline, or more eager to meet
the enemy Parme blanche. The two CO.
lumns ofthc Russians, under generals Ben
ningsen and BuXhowden, amount to $50
thousand men, which must have Joined by
the 9th
Jan. 9.-The mails from Denmark bring
news to the 30th ult. All accounts agree in
this, that the French army are in most
direiul state by dysentery and other infcc-
tious disorders, produced by the severity of
the weather and the want of proper food
nearly the whole of the army being disa-
blcd.
The Danes, apprehensive OF French at
tempts TO violate their neutrality, and force
them into measures inconsistent with their
interest, are making preparations to vindi-
cate their rights, and have equipped scve-
raj ships of the line for the protection of
their coast and trade.

treating before the French 10 Narew, dcs-

all the Poles who we're able 20 serve IN the
army.
! TonUin%en, Dec. 3O.-All accounts agree
! that the French army are much reduced
by sickness and scarcity. The Empress
Josephine and the Queen Of Holland have
iled from the contagion.
Gen. Benningsen, with $4,000 men, is
near Warsaw, harrassing the French,
whose misery and distress give them no
stomach for fighting. In truth, we are as
sured, that the affairs of Napoleon are des-
perate.

Russians. 5o,oo0strong, are posted at Mol
davia and Walachia, rs friends and allies
| OF the Sublime Porte that they have adj
vanced as far as Widen, and united with

Koningsberg to Wehiau. His army COM
blned with the Russian division under Gen.
| TolStOy, amounts TO 100000 men. The

regiments of French cavalry were cut to
pieces by two Prussian reciments, the for
mer having been drawn into an ambuscade
near Dantzic-An application has been
made to the emperor of Austria, on the
part Of France, desiring that ne should
surrender Galicia, if this should be rende-
ed necessary by any arrangement in Po-
| land. To this demand the emperor Fran
els is said to have replied by decided ne
| gative. There are several Tumors Of ge-
neral engagement, about the 25th nit. and
Of pacification between Prussia s France.
Both these reports We are strongly inclined
to discrcdit.
It now appears that Gen. Bennihgsen, af-
ter laying waste the country, has taken up
| his position 1T Pultausk, town situated
near the confluence Of the Narew and the
little river Rossoka. 1t is said to be a We
ry strong position, for all tic country be-
tween the Farew and the Bug is extremely
difficult, full Of woods and marshes, whilst
the open country between Pultausk and the
Vistula has been ravaged and laid waste.
