Martinsburgh gazette. [volume] (Martinsburgh, Va. [W. Va.]) 1810-1825, 1814-02-10

Bremen, the Prince Royal was moving on
Luneburg.
:. Gen St. Cyr has surrendered the gar
rison of DRESDEN, 1000 strong, as pri-'
soners of war, having in vain demanded
capitulation from Gen. Clenau.
" MIR Thornton writes from Bremen on
the goth November, that Winzingerode had
marched into Groeningen, and far as
lsel, occupying Zawl, Zutphen, and In the
neighbourhood OF Deyenter. Bulow was
marching on Aruheim from Munster.
g The Prince Royal on this, determined
to go into Holland in person, leaving Da-
voust and Hamburger to Gen. Walmoden,
Gen. Adlercrantz and the Swedes, and Ben
ningsen.
Gen Winzingerode had sent down a
corps sufficient to reduce the forts at the
mouth of the Weser as well as Stade Cux-
haven, and those between the Elbe and
Weser"
Let us annex to the above other accounts,
though not official, yet scarcely less deserv-
ing of being hailed with shouts of exultati-
on 1t is said, on high authority, that
Beauharnois tvice-roy of Italy, has made
his peace with Austria, and given up his
army to the general cause We have also
good reason to believe that Switzerland has
resumed its old form of government, and
declared its independence.
We this day insert two Extraordinary
Gazettes. if documents deserve that name,
which are now so common, that few days
pass over our heads without the felicity of
perusng one or more of them. The first
of these glorions communications, contains,
in dispatches from Sir G. Stewart, and va.
rious other papers, the details of the pursuit
of the enemy from Leipsic to the Rhine,
which he crossed in ignominy, with mise
rable remnant of his once mighty force, and
Of the victorious advance of the allies thro'
every point of the ci-devant kingdom of
Westphalia, till they approach Holland
with their front, and with their right wing
encircle Davoust beyond the possibility of
escape. Into Holland Winzingerode and
Bulow are marching, on the frontiers of
which, the only force opposed to them, is
a corps under Molitor, whose concentration
enabled the patriots to hoist the Orange, and
recover their liberties
With these behind him, and the allied
conquerors before, this Frenchman is not
lows in the service of the Usurper A part
of Regniers corps, in the general dispsrsi-
on, got to the right of the Elbe, at Torgau,
these were mistaken for St. Cyr, with his
Dresden garrison-neither of them have
any chance of reaching the Rhine. They
must snare the fate of the thousands of
straglers who are hourly sacrificed in the
forest oe Thuringia, and throughout Ger
many.
The Emperor of Germany has, it is said,
resumed his ancient titles, and entered
Frankfort in state. We have no room for
further particulars, and speculation would
be absurd, when even now there are other
messengers, arrived with other and equally
splendid intelligence.
The second Gazette relates to another
famous triumph achieved by our own We'll
lington, who in the race of heroes still as
serts his title to foremost place. But even
on this gratifying news we have no time to
dwell-On the 10th instant Soult was as
sailed by the troops ofthe three allied natl
ons, and after whole days arduous strug-
gle, forced from positions which it had taken
him three months to strengthen, for the
purpose of covering the south of France
the impetuous valor of our arms-the foe
was driven from every point-and the vic.
tors on the 18th, the date of the dispatch,
threatened him with similar overthrow in
his second row of intrenchmen;s before
Bayonne. The Marquis of Worcester was
the bearer of these accounts, in honor of
which the Park and Tower guns were fired
at nine o'clock this morning.
The following is an abstract of the Bri-
fish and Portuguese loss in the battle
British-277 killed, l777 wounded, SIS
missing.
Portugusse-66 killed, Sol wounded, Is
missing.
Total 34S killed, 2278 wounded, Is mis-
sing
With this comparatively small loss, the
enemy, posted as he was with bastions, and
redoubts to protect him, was utterly over
come with the loss of 5000 men; 1--WE state
with good authority ofwhom nearly 1000
