An article from Berlin says, the Emperor arrived at Warsaw on the 18th ult. Thorn, we regret to state, has surrendered to the enemy, after experiencing the effect of a violent bombardment. The important fortress of Glogau, in Silesia, which consisted of 200 pieces of Canon, and was garrisoned by 4000 troops, has surrendered to the Wirtemberg contingent. under the command of Jerome Buonaparte. The surrender of the fortresses of Glogau announced in the and Plassenburgh are 38th Buderm of the French army; and the ietreat of the Russians behind the Vistula, and the commencement of hostilities between Bisa and Turkey, are stated in the 39th wileum. [The latter fact, however, has soce been contradicted.] The 41st BulJen, dated from Posen, Dec. 14, states, that on the 11th, a corps of Marshal DaVerust's army crossed the river Bug, and esablished themselves at the Village of Pokuwo. A Russian division attached cheta, but were repuised with great loss.The 420 Bulletin, dated Posen, Dec. 15, auctions, that a bridge had been thrown cross the Narew; that the Russians were brancing from Grodno; and that the weather was uncommonly favourable, and like' AutoThe 431 Bulletin is dated from Kutno, on the 17th, and merely states the arrival of the Emperor at that town, m his way to Warsaw. The 44th, dated Warsaw, Dec. 21. says, "Yesterday, the Emperor spected the works of Praga, where eight im redoubts, with pathsa loes, bastions, &c. paclose a space of fifteen hundred toises, and form, upon the whole, the entrenched camp."-- It then goes on to state the inn.ense menchants and works that are carrying kitu efect, for defence against the Russians. "On the 19th, a regiment of Cossacks, an sisted by the Russian Hussars, endeavoured to surprise the picquet of Light Cavalry, at the téte-de-pont of the Bug; but the picquet had taken such a position as secured it against any surprise. The first regiment of Hussars, and a Colonel, with a squadron of the 13th, immediately coming to the assistance of the picquet, the enemy were thrown into confusion. In this trifling affair we had three or four men wounded, but the Colonel of the Cossacks was killed, and thirty men; twenty-five horses fell into our hands. There are no men so wretched and cowardly as the Cossacks; they are a sandal to human nature. They pass the Bug, and violate the Austrian neutrality every day, imerely to plunder a house in Gallacia, or to compel the mhabitants to give them brandy, which they drink with great avidity. But since the last campaign, our cavalry is accustomed to the mode of attack made use of by these wretches; and notwithstanding their num bers, and their hideous cry on these occasions, they await them without alarm, as it is well known that 2000 of these wretches are not equal to the attack of a squadron of our cavalry." [The truth is, the French Cavalry have found these cowardly Cossacks very troublesome op; onents; and hence "Marshal these invectives agamst them.] Augereau passed the Vistula at Utratta. General Lavesse entered Plonsk, after drawing out the enemy, Marshal Soult passed the same river at Vizogoro. Marshal Bessieres was at Kikol on the 18th, with the second corps of the cavalry of reserve.Its advanced goard is at Serpez. There have been several affairs between our cavalry and the Prussian Hussars, of whom a great numThe right ber have been made prisoners. bank of the Vistula is quite cleared. Marshal Ney, with his light corps, supports Marshal Bessieres, and his right at the same time extends to that under the command of Marshal the Prince of Ponto Corvo, Thus every corpsism motion, and if the enemy remains in his position, a battle will take place in a few days. With God's help, the issue cannot be uncertain. The Russian army is commanded by General Kamenskoy, an old man about 75 years of age, The Generals Buxhowden and Benningsen command under him. General Michelson bas, beyond a doubt, penetra ted into Moldavia, and there are accounts that he arrived at Jassy on the 59th of Noyember. We are assured that his Generals, too. Bender by storm, and put every one to the sword. Here behold a war declared agamst the Porte without reason or pr. text; but at St. Petersburgh it was thought, that the moment had arrived when France and Prussin, the two Powers who had the great. est mterest in preserving the independence of the Porte, being at war, was the most favourable period for subjugating the TurkIsh Empare. Still the events of one month have defeated that project, and to these events the Porte shall be indebted for its preservation. The G and Duke of Berg has a fever, but he is better. The weather is as rul as at Paris in the mouth of October, but rainy, which makes it inconvenient. We have taken measures for the delivery of a suficient quantity of me, in order to sup port the vigour of the troops. The palace of the King of Poland. at Warsaw, is a fine edifice, and well furnished. There are see veral noble palaces and private houses in this. eity. Our hospitals are well established, which is no smell & Ivantage in this country. The enemy seem to have a number of sick; they also lose greatly by deserters; and of the Prussians we hear nothing, for cyen whole corps of them have desertel, to avoid that continual contempt which they might expert among the Russians." According to the French Bulletins, the Russia is have shown an inclination to “bury themselves in the interior of the country;" that is, they have shown a prudent mel.nation to avoid fighting, till a fair prospect of success offers. The Emperor of Russia has issued a very spirited and manly Declaration of his intention of carrying on the war with vigour against France; and he calls upon the people to come forward now, not merely for the assistance of their Allies, but for their own defence. It is dated 23th November. The Russian General, Tolstoy, has formed a junction with the King of Prussia, who bas deemed it prudent to fall back from Ostorode to Koningsberg, and is said to be followed by a considerable force, under the orders of General Buxhoeveden. Kosciusko has addressed a letter to the Poles, announcing that he is about to join the standard of Napoleon, whom he styles "The Deliverer and Restorer of Poland." Thus, under the present circumstances, may tead greatly to favour the views of the Tyrant, to whom he has so disgracefully bowed his once proudly stubborn neck. Buonaparte, on has triumphal entry into Posen, announced his intention of proclaiming the independence of Poland. He has since reached Warsaw; but the promised Proclamation has not yet been issued. A most saugumary Proclamation has been issued by the French General Loison to the inhabitants of Langen, in Westphalta, who, in consequence of their resistance to Galie oppression, are threatened with summary vengeance. "The inhabitants, if they continues to assemble, are to be cut to pieces, and their houses and property burned. The principal inhabitants to be sent to France, until the levied contributions are completed; and if not paid by the 10th of this month, their property to be seized and sold." How dreadful! Good Heaven! how long is the earth to be cursed by the domination of such tyrant monsters! A considerable insurrection, to shake off French tyranny, has broken out in the Hessian territory. The inhabitants of that country, driven to desperation by the exactions and vexations to which they have been subjected since the French took possession of it, have come to a resolution worthy of mone success than, we fear, will attend their present attempt. About 10,000 men, consisting principally of disbanded soldiers and some peasants, assembled lately near Eschwege, and having nominated an Officer of the Regiment of de Wurmb, Captain d'U'slar, their Commander, with the rank of Colonel, proceeded to organize themselves as a regular force. Those among them who had served as Non-commissioned Officers, were appointed Officers; and they armed themscives in the best manuer they could, seizing all the arms, swords, &c. which they could find. The insurrection, it is supposed, was not confined to the Hessian territory, Lut to have extended itself to Saxony and Hanover also. An article from Paris impudently says, "It is understood, that general and decisive measures are about to be adopted to force England to consent to the repose of Europe.* Buonaparte has issued the following De cree respecting the British Property at Hamburgh: Imperial Head-Quarters at Posen, Dec. 15, 1896. Napoleon, Emperor of the French and King of Italy. We have decreed and do decree as fullows:-- All the English merchandize, or productions of the English Colonies, which have been placed under requisition at Hamburgh, Labec, and Bremen, shall be immediately removed to France. The following is a letter from one of the first Houses in Paris, addressed to a Mechant of eminence in London, viz. "Paris, 29th Dre. 1805. "You desire us to pay on your account the sum of 301. to Mr. H. and we had write to him on the subject; but he did not male his appearance before a Decree was issued, which prohibits any payment whatever being made to an English subject; and under which, we regret we are obliged to suspend the payment of the small sum in question.--We are obliged tram prudential motives to act thus for the present; but we think the afer will shortly be moderated, and that in a little time we shall be enabled to execule your commands." The hatred of Buonaparte to the commercial prosperity of this country, (next to its Constitution, the great foundation of its glory and preeminence, is not confined to the mere exclusion of British produce and manua tures from the countries under his control, but extends to the absolute prohibition o any trade whatever with the British Furpire. By accounts from Spain, it appears, that the Spanish Government has been compellet, by a peremptory mandate from France, to prohibit the sending of any wool to this country, as has been the practice during the present as well as former wars. The same prohibition, we find, by one of the late French Papers, has been issued in the Kingdom of Italy, against the exportation of zaw silk to this country. The experience of a few months will prove, that the subjects of their Spanish and Italian Majesties are likely to be the greatest sufferers by these splenetic and impolitic regulations. The trade at Leipsic, Berlin, Hawburgh, Lubec, Bremen, &c. is wholly suspended. A general embargo has taken place at Hamburgh, and no neutral is allowed to sail, even in ballast; and in Hanover and the eighbouring places, all communication with England is forbidden, upon pam of death. The following has been given as the substance of what passed between Buonaparté and the Hamburgh deputtes; but we by no means vouch for its accuracy, or explan how It should have become publick.-He refused even to receive their proposals, and treated them with the utmost rigour and contempt. He told them, that he conceived the micasures he had taken were the only means of forcing GREAT BRITAIN to make peace;" and that, therefore, nothing should induce Jum to depart from them. in vain they told him, That thirty houses had already failed in Hamburgh, mi consequence of those ineaures. His unfeeling answer was →→ SO MUCH THE BITTER, inasmuch as it will ruin many more than that number in ENGLAND !" Sull they rold lum, that a perseverance in those measures would reduce the whole City of Hamburgh to Bankruptcy! His answer was again—" So VUCH THE LITTER; then you will not be able to carry on your commercial intercourse with Great Britain!" Against this brutal exultation they ventured to oppose the dreadful effects which would arise from the whole, commerce of the world being stopped! His reply was-" I wish it to come to this pitch, that there should be no commerce at all! The Land only shall be titled, and there shall only be exchange of linen against cattle, and of grain against cloth! THE FOURTH CENTURY LUST BE REVIVED before the world can be reduced to its proper state!" He said, he knew he should be called a CALIGULA and * NERO. He cared not for it. He allowed that his own sca-ports would be ramed, but he could not help it. lle declared that the Deputations which he knew were on the road to him from Nantz, Bourdeaux, &c. &c. &c. with remonstrances against his decree against the English, should not be admitted into his presence. After repeatedly calling Hamburgh “Une ville Anglois," he concluded with these remarkable and never-to be-forgollen words,-" ENGLAND MUST BE HUM ALED, AND DEALI WITH IN A VERY DIF FERENT MANNER FROM IHAT IN WHICH SLE HITHERTO HAS BEEN TRLATED! Russia A Message of the King of Holland to their High Mightmesses, of the 5th of December, contains a most deplorable picture of the state of that country. Annulated commerce,. dilapidated resources, no civil or criminal code, the very existence of the soil endangered by the decay into which the dikes and fences against the ocean have been suffered to fall:-Such are the principal articles in this melancholy enumeration of calamities. And yet, under the shame of such a confession, his Majesty talks of the prosperity of is Colonies, and of creating Orders of Knighthood! It seems as if tyranny were about to give back to the waves, that domain which liberty and industry wrested from them. Letters from Lisbon say, that advices had been received from Rio Janeiro, with an ac-. count of the re-capture of Buenos Ayres by the Spaniards and Indians, and that General Beresford, Sir Home Popham, &c. are made prisoners. We hope this will prove an illounded report. Some late American Papers contained a long article on the probable consequences to America of our obtaning possession of Buenos Ayres. The Americans, as might be expected, are jealous of the acquisition to England of so valuable a piace-they would rather have the idolent Spaniards continue masters of it (under whom they might still carry on a consiserable contraband trade), than the enterprising English, whose trading speculations will leave no room for smug. gling. We have had some difficulty in accrediting the extraordinary design attributed to Colonel Burr, of dissolving the American Union. but as the fact is mentioned both in the newspapers and private letters, we cannot wholly disbelieve it. I would appear, from the following extract of a letter, that the project has not only been conceived, but avowed also. We do not see what advantages the separatists are to derive from the dissolution. The city of Washington is now a scene of bustle. Colonel Burr has publicly announced his project to separate the Western territory from the United States. He has Wilkinson at the head of the army, m league with hum. There has been a Council sitting for three days at Washington; the result of which is, that process goes out to the Marchal of the territory to arrest Burr and Wilkinson; and till the return of the Marshal and the Judge of the District, the law cannot be carried into effect. The Militia of the Union is immediately to be called out." Intelligence has been received by Government from America, of the execution of the Non-Importation Act against this Country being suspended. This communication is of the very highest importance to the Commercial World, and proves at once the real disposition of the Americans towards the Mother Country. The information received comes, down to the 14th ult., bringing the Message of the President of the United States upon opening the Congress on the 1st. It occupies five columns. With respect to the differences with this country aud the differences with Spain, it says, that the delays which have taken place in our Negociations with the British Government, appear to have proceeded from causes which do not forbid the expectation that, during the course of the present Session, I may be enabled to lay be"fore you the final issue. What will be that of the negociation for settling our differences with Spain, nething which has taken place at the date of the last dispatches, enables us to pronounce. Whether it will be necessary to enlarge our regular force will depend on the result of our negociation with Spain; but as it is uncertain when that result will be known, the provisional measures requisite for that, and to meet any pressure intervening in that quarter, will be a subject for your early consideration." The next day but one ke presented a special Message; in which, after stating that the Negociation with England had experienced some delay from the indisposition, of Mr. Fox, he mentions, in very favourable terms, the conduct of the Commissioners appointed by the British Government to hasten the progress of the adjustment of differences, and recommends a Suspension of the Non-Importation Act. The last Message of the Congress was referred to a Lommittee, and a Bill brought in immediately to that effect. It was passed with very little opposition, and the suspension is to be till December 1807. The report of the death of the Black Emperor, Dessalines, is fully confirmed. It appears, that his cruelty and tyranny had provoked a general insurrection against him, in which both the troops and the labourers on the plantations joined. A general spirit of discontent, which had for some time prevailed among the principal Officers of the Black Army, broke out into open resistance about the middle of October, in consequence of some severe measures which Desselmes wished to enforce at Aux Cayes. The Minister of War headed the troops against the Emperor; and so unpopular was Dessalines among the planters, that they kept from lan all intelligence respecting the situation of the insurgent troops, and he marched through Europ. Mag. Vol. LI, Jan, 1807, the plain of the Cul-de-sac, without being able to procure any account of the disposition, or the force of the troops he had to contend with. This event," says the official account of the Black Insurgents, "confirms the observation, that tyrants have many fiatterers, but no friends." The result was, that Dessalines was completely surprised. His opponents wished to take him prisoner, but, in his endeavour to escape, he was killed. A Colonel Maardie, one of his Officers, who defended him, and whose less the insurgents mention with regret, was also killed. Christophe was chosen to succeed Dessalines. Dreadful Consequences of a Mutiny in the Carnatic. A mutiny broke out in the barracks, in the Garrison of Vellore, on the 10th et July, in which were one regiment and six companies of Native Troops, Sepoys, and four full companies of his Majesty's 69th Regiment. The Native Troops, at two o'clock in the morning, surrounded and attacked the European barracks, and at every window and door poured in upon the poor defenceless soldiers of the 69th Regiment a heavy fire from musketry and a six-pounder. At the same instant, the European sentries and soldiers at the main-guard, and the sick in the hospital, were put to death; the Sepoys then proceeded to the officers' honses, and put to death all whom they could find. Colonel Kerras, who commanded one of the Native Battalions, was shot while haranguing his men on the parade. Colonel Fancourt, the Commander of the Fort, was shot when proceeding to the main-guard; and all were butchered wherever they could be found. Licutenant Ely, of the 69th, with his little son in his armis, were both barbarously bayoneted in the presence of his wife! This scene of carnage continued until seven o'clock in the morning, when a troop of the 19th Light Dragoons arrived from Arcot, with the Galloper gun of the regiment, by which the gate was blown open; the remains of the 69th making a sally from the barracks, and getting possession of the six-pounder at the same time. The Sepoys were still encouraged by their Native Gificers to make a stand, but all were very soon cut to pieces by the 19th; about 600 were cut down, and about 206, subsequently taken from hiding places, were shot. About 300 made their escape, supposed through the sally-port, but many of them were afterwards taken.. The mutiny, it is said, was encouraged by one of the sons of Tippoo, resident in the Fort of Vellore; the plan was to get possession of the fort, which they calculated on keeping a few days, when the insurgents expected to be joined by 50,000 men from My sure. The standard of Tippoo was hoisted on the palace, soon after the firing commenced; and if it had not been for the entreaties of Lientenant-Colonel Marriot, who declared the Princes were innocent, Colonel Gillespie, L 74 commanding the 19th Dragoons, would have delivered up the whole of the palace to the enraged soldiers. One of the causes of disaffection was said to be a code of regulations, which introduced a new turban for the Sepoys, similar to a drummer's cap; likewise ordering the distinguishing warks of cast in the forehead to. be taken off, and to shave the upper lip, &c.. Lord William Bentinck, Governor of Madras, immediately issued a general order, doing away these regulations. The following has been given as a list of the killed and wounded. OFFICERS KILLED.-Colonels Fancourt and M'Kerras, 23d Battalion; Lieutenants WOUNDED.-Captain Barrow, 69th Regi- Major Armstrong was killed in his palanquin, by a volley from the ramparts, when passing along, about break of day, being in his way down to Madras. DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE. THE Court of Directors of the East-India Company have presented Captain Larkius with the sum of 500 guineas for the purchase of a piece of plate, as a mark of their approbation for his gallantry in defence of the Warren Hastings; they have also voted the sum of 2000 gumeas to the officers and crew of the said ship. A letter from a person who was in the Warren Hastings Indiaman, during the late action, states, that that ship made a most gallant defence, considering the vast superiority of the enemy; and would finally have escaped, had not her fore and mizen-mnasts gone by the board. The crew of the Frenchman appeared to be in a state of great insubordination, and it was not until some time after the engagement began, that they could be kept to their quarters. The First Lieutenant is reported to have been in a state of extreme intoxication during the engagement; and when the Indiaman had been some time in possession of the enemy, he came on board in a state of inebriety, and in the most wanton manner wounded Capt, Larkins in the belly with his sword. His example was followed by several other of the miscreants on the defenceless officers and crew. Such atrocious barbarity is worthy only the sattelites of Napoleon. The French frigate mounted 48 guns of large calibre, and had 358 men, with a company of sharp-shooters in the top. The Warren Hastings mounts 44 guns of dif ferent calibre, and had at the beginning of the action only 150 men; yet with this disproportionate force she engaged the enemy four hours and 25 minutes before she struck; during which time the French ship was so much damaged, as to make it doubtful whether she can ever be sufficiently repaired to make out the cruise. The arrangement is at length completed for the family of the late Mr. Fox; under which Mrs, Fox obtains a pension of 1200l. and Miss Willoughby, his natural daughter, 3001. per annum.— —Morning Herald, The Privy Council, we understand, have The Lord High Chancellor having directed |
