The- ip I . 1. saon after hjsnr-

following depurations :—To the senate, in

delivered a very ni-at speepri hi Latin. M.

v.\, president of the chamber. After him
speeches were deli wed by the president if
the regency, and lastly by the president of
the city. His maje.-cy replied from his
throne to all these speeches in the most af-
fable manner. The emperor said, among
ot'm r things, to the deputation of the se-
nate—'- Illustrious lords, shew yourselves
worthy of your ancestors. They coinmand-
,ed the flrtnces of Brandenburg ; Moscow
and fabrics. Some provinces of Germany
already set us the example. Thus the de-
cree of the 2 Jst of November, which wounds
the interest of some commercial men, is,
on fcthe other hand, very agreeaole to the
manufacturers of Germany. In effect, this
measure delivers them from the concurrence
of the English, and procures already, a
(great vent for the products of their manu-
factures. Therefore it is, that the decree
in question, has excited great joy in Saxony
{Leipsic excepted) in nearly all the marches
of Brandenburg, in L'.isaee, Bohemia and
even Silesia—these are the manufacturing
places of lower Germany.
" The class of men which lose the most
In thepsesent situation, are the commission
merchants, and the agents for English mer-
chandize at Enibden, Bremen, Magdeburg,
Stettin, &c'."
ALTONA, December 12.
We have received from persons who have
correspondents in Poland, some curious de-
tails respecting the destination and inarch
ttf the Russian troops. In consequence of
an arrangement which had been concluded
at Petersburg, between the Prussian major
Krusemark, and the Russian ministry of
war, an army of 80,000 men, commenced
their march on the 1st of October. To ac-
celerate their march they left behind great
part of their artillery, and were to be fur-
nished with artillery and other articles from
•the Prussian arsenals. This army actually
.arrived about the end of October m Prussian
I and; ami advanced to Ihonie, whilst its
. Ivanced guard was pushed two leagues on
the other side of Kalis)). From thence this
«g received iatelligeric* of the
md the total ro„t ,-"the
Prussians, fed baek.on the priacipal army,
the greater part of Which repa ;sed the Vis ¦
tola, near Warsaw) in order to place itself in
a position to receive reinforcements ; at the
same time the court of Russia invited all the
royal family of Prussia to rep,.ir to Peters-
burg. During the short stay of the Rus-
sians in Prussian Poland, they every where
visited the houses in the tow us and in the
country, and took away all the arms. Se-
veral persons were also arrested.
HAMBURGH, Dec. 14..
This has been the mildest winter ever
known : the late rains were accompanied
with such warm weather, that the country
jNorth of Hamburg is completely clothed
with green.
LOWER ELBE, Dec. 9.
Till now the British property, declared
under confiscation, has not been delivered
up or seized ; nor have any domiciliary visits
been made. The senate has, it is said, ob-
tained a further delay, till the return of their
deputation. They reached Berlin on the ist
inst. but finding bath Napoleon and Talley-
rand gone to Posnania, they sent a courier
to the latter to know whether audience will
be granted to them. The members of the
British factory established here, were to be
sent off yesterday to Mentz, but, at their ur-
gent request, their departure as prisoners of
war for France will not take place till next
Sunday, the 14th inst. They consist of the
following unfortunate gentlemen : William
Alexander Burrowcs, esq. treasurer ; Jas.
Cdllman, esq. secretary; Matthew Boyn-
ton, esq. James Stephen, esq. James Ken-
ny, esq. John Cock, esq. John Thornton,
esq. T. Lodge, esq. Thomas Blacker, esq.
George Smith, esq. and George Whitakcr,
esq. r/lr. James Sturtevant has fortunately
escaped, for, being on a journey, and h'ear-
ing that the French had taken possession
of Lubeck, he immediately came to Ham-
burgh, secured his effects and warehouse,
and provided for his safety in Denmark.
The police in Altona will not suffer any
British fugitives to remain there any lon-
ger. This is said to be done at the request
of the French. The unfortunate members
of the British factory are to lose the whole
of their property and effects, and only a
change of linen and clothes will be allowed
to go with them to France. Their fami-
lies will become dependent on the eenero-
sity of their friends either in England or here.
It is however to the credit and honor of
Mrs. Thornton and Mrs. Blacker, and
some other ladies, that they are determined
to follow their husbands. Till now other
British subjects, still at Hamburgh, have
remained unmolested.
Important ncgociations are said to be pen-
ding now between France and Denmark,
which are, however, carried on with the
utmost secrecy.
LONDON, Jan. 1—3.
All the accounts from Germany and
France assert that the new levies in France,
are pressing with extraordinary activity ;
and that Bonaparte is draining France and
the states of the Rhenish confederacy, of
men, who are proceeding towards Poland
and I stria and Dalmatia, with the double
view of executing his intentions with res-
pect to Poland, and of cooperating with
the Turks against the Russians upon Tur-
kish ground.
By letters from Malmoe, in Sweden, of
the first inst. the king of Sweden has or-
dered his whole army, of between 80 and
90,000 men, exclusive of the Militia, to
hold itself in readiness to march. In Fin-
land great naval and military preparations
were making. A division of tile galley
fleet is ordered to Stralsund.
The only affair between the French & Rus-
sians, mentioned in the journals, is in Da-
voust's letter to Dombrowski, in which it is
stated that a detachment of French' cavalry
was attacked on trie 22d ult. by 5 or 600
Cossacks at Lowiez. The combat lasted the
whole of the day. " The French (says Da-
voust) defended themselves bravely against
the Cossack's, who suffered very considera-
ble loss." It is evident, evwifrom thevaunt-
ing Frenchman's own account, that the con-
flict was bloody, that the French were de-
feated, and that the Cossacks fought with
their usual bravery.
Bonaparte was in Posen on the 3d instant,
busily employed in parading the town, with
a Polish guard of honor, &c. receiving de-
putations, and calling on the Poles in pro-
clamations and speeches to arm in defence of
their liberty. " If the blood (says Napole-
on in one of these orations) of the brave
Poles still flows in their veins, every one of
them will arm : be it their aim to be free &
to be a nation, or to dje ! Their fate is now
in their hands ; I expect they will convince
me of their bravery and spirit. Let me see
the fruits of their zeal ; I want not words
or assurances. Let me see the legions & co-
horts of a respectable army, fighting by the
side of my soldiers !" It is not a matter of
doubt that the Poles are prodigal of their
words and assurances, but as to any thing
further we have yet to learn ; nor is it a con-
vincing proof of their enthusiasm to join the
standards of their deliverer, that Dombrows-
ki, in his proclamation is reduced to the ne-
cessity of ordering the police magistrates to
seize on all deserters and vagabonds of all
. descriptions, to swell the noble Polish legi-
ons ; ,so that if they cannot be drawn they
must be goaded. The number of Poles that
have ranged themselves on the side of the
French are inconsiderable, not sufficient, it
seems, in point of number, to enable Bona-
parte to announce their independence ; for
the Paris article of the 2d inst. states, that
when the deputation of the palatinate mani-
fested a wish that he would proclaim their i nde-
perjdence, Napoleontnswered, thathe would
not issue the proclamation" until the Poles
were determined to defend their rights, not
only by awns, but also by means of every sa-
crifice, even that of their lives." The im-
mense force which Russia has brought into
