" To give an idea of the •uncommon Confusion |w.hich prevailed in the Prussian r,,<-r',archy. it-is .-sufficient to say, that the queen, after her ridiculous and lamenta- ble journey to Erfurt and Weimar, passed a Whole, night at Berlin without seeing a ;,i-ig!c. person ; that the people were., for a long rfttie without knowing where the king was; that no person took any care fori the safety Of thfrcapital ; and that the citizens were compelled to unite in order to form a provisions! government. r-'empl for the authors of the war lias reached tl ; highest point. The ma- nifes.o, which the people of Berlin call a •candalotr-libel, -nd in which not one sin- gle complaint is bioughti forward, has in- flanred 'be public mind against its author, a needy scribbler uf the name of Genta ; cue of those men devoid of honor, who suffer themselves fo be bought with gold. " The whole of the world is witness, that the queen has been the cause of all the reverses to which the Prussians Inn e been exposed, livery where we hear it said " A year ago, she was so good, so kind ; but how is she changed- since the fatal meeting between the emperor Alexander and hh> Prussian majesty-," " In the palaces there was not the least order obscrvedi so that the sword of the great Frederick was easily found at Potz- (dam, together with the scarf which he wojee.during the seven year's war ; also lie insigna of the black eagle.

Thsindefi duke of Berg was fit ZondehicK on tSfe 26th, with abri- gacb ofligrit cavalry under general La- Kail'.', while; the- divisions of dragoons un- der the rem-, morn and Grouchy, were marched to the same point. The ral Lasalle pre- sented i'self to the erismy, who opposed it with 6! fry.

A vast concourse of people had assem- bled as spectators of this ceremony. On the 2Sth, at nine in the forenoon, the Envoys of Bavaria, Spain,'Portugal, and the Ottoman Porte, resident at Berlin, were at audience of his Majesty. His .Majesty ordered the Turkish Envoy to send a Courier to Constantinople to inform the court of what had taken place, and to declare that now the Russians should not enter Moldavia, nor undertake any thing against the Turkish empire. Afterwards his Majesty received the whole of the Lutheran and Reformed Con- sistories. There are upwards oftwelye thousand French at Berlin, whose pre- decessors took refuge there in conse- quence of the revocation of the Ed'.ct of Nantes. His Majesty conversed with the principal persons among these Pro- testants and told them that they had a just claim upon his protection, and that their privileges and the exerci.e of their wor- ship should be secured to them'. His Majesty advisfed them to concern them- selves with their own affairs, to remain peaceable, and pay obedience and respect to the Sovereign. The Courts of Justice were presented— His Majesty conversed with the Members of the Courts cf Appeal, and gave them some instruction as to the manner in which justice should be adminis ered. Count Van Neale coming into the hall of audience, the Emperor said to him •' Well, Sir, your ladies wished for war, and they have been gratified, it becomes you to manage your household better." (Letters had been intercepted from the Count's daughter) " Napoleon [reading the letters] will not continue the war; let others carry on the war against him." His Majesty said to Count Van Neale, " No, I will carry on no war. Not that i doubt of my prowess, as you have sugge st • to ; Lut in order to spare the, blood of my Subjects, which is dear to me ; bee is prescribed to me by my first duty, only to shed the same for their honour and safety. But the good people of Beilin have been the sacr,fice oi the war; while fhosa who excited it have left them, ancl are become fugitives. I shall leduce these noble Courtiers to such extremities, that ifcy sha;l be compelled to beg their bread-" The Emperor ordered that twemty- four of the best Burghers should be assem- bled at the Town-house, in order to select .. third cf their'number to take upon them the civil government of the place. Each of the twenty wards is to furnish a guard o! 11 ; so tl at 1200 of the best Burghers will be enstrusted with the care oi the ci- ty, and the management of the police. Tire Emperor said to Prince ifatzfeldt, " Do not appear in my presence ; 1 have no need ot yotrt services j retire to, your estates." The Emperor gave audience to the Chancellor and the Mfliistcrsof the King of Prussia.. In giving instructions to the Civil Ad- mih s be City, the Emperor said, " I will not sufftr any windows to be bro- ken. My brother, the King of Prussia, ceased to be a King liom the day when Prince Louis Ferdinand was bold enough to break ihe windows cf his Majesty's Min- isters. His Majesty should have ordered him to be hanged." Count Zastrovv was presented to the Emperor on the 27th, ai Charlottenburg, and delivered a letter hem the King of Prussia.

Our troops might have entered the town pell me'.l with the enemy, but the prince pre- ferred sending him a summons by general Bellard. The gates of the town were al- ready burst open. Deprived of al! hope, prince Hohenlohe, one of the principal firebrands of this impious war, capitulat- ed- and defiled before the French army m ith sixteen thousand infantry almost all guards or grenadiers, six regiments Of cavolry, forty five stands of colors, and sixty four pieces , oi harnesaed artiil-. ry.

Prince Augustus Ferdinand, brother to LoUis, killed at Saalfeldt, and son of prince Ferdinand, brother of the Frederick, has been taken in arms by our dragoons. Our posts have entered Frankfort on the Oder, the king of Prussia has gone further. He has srot 15,000. men left; and for such a result, we have sCareely met with any loss. Yesterday, belore going to review the corps of marshal Davoust, the emperor paid a visit to the dowager princess Henry, and prince and princess Ferdinand, who have -always been remarked for the distin- guished manner in which they Jtave re- ceived the French. In the palace which the emperor inha- bits at Berlin, lodges the king of Prussia's sister, the eleetoi al princess of Hesse Gas- sel. This princess is in childbed. The emperor has ordered his grand marshal of the palace to take care that she be not dis- turbed with the noise and bustle of the head tpjarteiS. BULLETIN, No. 23.

There are he-aides, more than 60..0 horses, which the emperor has at h-paiidau, after having- mounted all his ca- valry.

We found in it one hundred ancl sixty pieces of cannon, and considerable maga- zines, with a garrison consisting of 6uo0 line troops, and a number oi ger.e;als, who were made prisoners of war. Of the whole of that great army, one hundred and eighty thousand strong, not a ma;i has crossed the Oder, They were all either taken or killed, ex..ept those who still wander between the Elbe and the O- de'r; but who within four days will be made prisoners of war. It is unnecessa- ry to dwell on the importance of the re duction of Stettin, which is one of the first commercial towns of Prussia, and which secures to the army an excellent line of operation. -As soon as the columns commanded by the dnke of Weimar, and general liluctr- ut off oa the right and on the left, and pursued on the rear, shall surrender, the army will take a few days rest. Nothing has yet transpired of the Rus- sians, We long much to see one hun- dred thousand ol them arrive, but the re- ports of their march, we are afraid, are mere gasconade ; they dare not meet us. At f'nlda and Brunswick the aims of the prince of Orange and the duke have been removed. Neither of these princes will reign again. The Lnglish would make no peace— they shall make it, but Prance will include more coasts and states in her federative system.
