GRAND ARMY.
FIFTY-FIRST BULLETIN.
, " Warsaw, January 14. ¦
On the 29th December, the dispatch of
the Russian general, Penuingsen, relative
to the battle of Pultusk, was received by
the king of Prussia, at Konigsburg. It
was immediately published and posted up
throughout the town, where it excited the
greatest transports of joy ; the king was
publicly complimented on this occasion ;
but on the 31st, in the evening, intelli-
gence was given by some Prussian officers,
corrob irated by other accounts from the
country, of the real state of things. Sadness
and consternation were now so much the
greater, as every one had abandoned himself
to joy. It was then resolved to evacuate ;
Konigsburg, and preparations were imrne- I
diatelymade for the purpose. The .treasure I
and most valuable property was immediate-
ly sent off to Mcmel. The queen, who was 1
still ill, embarked on the 3d January for
that town ; the king set out from thence on
the 6th ; the remains of general Lestocq's
division also departed for the same, after
leaving at Konigsburg two battalions and
a company of invalids.
The king of Prussia's ministry is com-
posed in the following manner :
GeneralRuchel, still ill of the wound he
received at the battle of Jena, is appointed
minister at war. The president Sagebaulie
is appointed minister of the interior.
Th» present forces of the Prussian mo-
narchy are as follow *.
The king is attended by 1500 troops,
both foot and horse. General Lestocq has
scarcely 5000 men, comprising the two
battalions left at Konigsburg, with the
company of invalids.
Lieutenant generalHambnrgercommands
at Dantzic, where he has a garrison of 6000
men. The inhabitants have been disarmed,
and it has been intimated lo them, that in
case of alarm the troops will fire on all those
who shall quit their horses.
General Guzadrod commands at Colberg,
with 1800 men.
Lieutenant general Couhsere is at Grau-
dentz with 3000 men.
The French troops are in motion to sur-
round and besiege these fortresses.
A certain number of recruits, whom the
king of Prussia had caused to be assembled,
and who were neither cloathed nor armed,
have been disbanded, because there was
no method of keeping them in order.
Two or three English officers were at Ko-
nigsburg, and caused hopes to be enter-
tained of the arrival of an English army.
The prince of Pless has in Silesia, twelve
or fifteen thousand men, shut up in the
fortresses of Briefs, Neis, Schweidnitz,
and Kosel, which prince Jerome has caused
to be invested.
We shall be silent concerning the ridicu-
lous dispatch of general Benniugsen ; we
shall only remark that it appears to contain
somethinginconceivable. The general seems
to accuse his colleague general Buxhowden.
He says that he was at Mohaw. How could
he be ignorant that Buxhowden was gone to
Golymin, where he was beaten ? He pre-
tended to have gained a victory ; and never-
theless he was in full retreat at ten at night
and this retreat was so hasty that he aban-
doned his wounded. Let him shew us a
single piece of cannon, a single Frenchstan-
dard, a single French prisoner, but twelve
or fifteen men who might have been taken
here and there on the rear of the army ;
while we shew him 6000 prisoners, two
standards, which he lost near Pultusk, and
3000 wounded, whom he abandoned in his
flight.
Should general Buxhowden have given on
his side as true a relation of the engagement
of Golymin, it will be evident that the
French army was beaten, and that in conse-
quence of its defeat, it took possession of
100 pieces of ordinance and 1600 baggage
waggons ; of all the hospitals of the Rus-
sian army ; of all its wounded ; and of the
important positions of Sieroch, Pultusk, Os-
trolenka. and obliged the enemy to fall back
eighty leagues. With regard to the infer-
ence attempted to be drawn by general Ben-
ningsen from his not having been pursued,
it is sufficient to observe, that good care
was taken not to pursue him, because our
troops outstretched him by two days march,
and that but for the bad roads, which hin
dered marshal Souk from following this
movement, the Russian general would have
found the French in Ostrolenka.
It remains only tor us to seek what could
be the intention of such a relation. It is the
same no doubt as that the Russians proposed
to themselves at the battle of Aut.terlitz. it is
the same, no doubt, as that of the Ukases,
by which the emperor Alexander declined
accepting the grand insignia, because he
said he had not commanded at the battle,
and accepted the small insignia for the
success he had obtained in it, although un-
der the command of the emperor of
Austria.
He says, furthermore, he had the grand
Duke of Berg and Marshal Davoust against
him, while in fact he had only to cope
with the division of Sachet and the corps
of Marshal Lannes 3 the 17th regiment of
light infantry, the 24th of the line, the
64th and the 88th, were the only regiments
that f. ught against him. He must have re-
flected very little upon the position of Pul-
tusk, to suppose that the French-would
take possession of that town, commanded
within pistol shot.
There is however one point of view un-
der which the relation of general Benniug-
sen may be justified, v No doubt but appre-
hensions were entertained of the effect which
the truth might produce througout Prussian
a.ndIiu^iaiiPolai;d, wliich the ea&Bytyeit
to-cross, had it reac'.ed those countries pre-
vious to his being enabled to place his hos-
pitals and scattered detachments safe from
all insult.
These relations, so evidently ridiculous,
may still produce the advantage for the Rus-
sians of delaying the ardor which faithlul re-
citals will not fail to inspire the Turks with ;
and there are circumstances in which a few
days give a delay of some importance.
Experience, however, has proved that all
wiles defeat their end, and that in all things
simplicity and truth are the best policy.
FIFTY-SECOND BULLETIN.
Warsaw, January 19.
The 8th corps of the grand army, com-
manded by marshal Mortier, has detached
the second battalion of light infantry to
Wollin ; three companies of the same regi-
ment had scarcely arrived there when, before
break of day, they were attacked by a de-
tachment of 100 foot and ISO horse, with
four pieces of cannon, from Colberg. The
French, not appalled by the enemy's great
superiority of number, carried abridge, took
four pieces of cannon, and made 100 prison-
ers. The rest were put to flight, leaving the
city of Wollin, the streets of which were
covered with them. The city of Bvieg, in
Silesia, has surrendered after a siege of live
days. Poland, rich in grain and provisions,
affords us a plentiful supply ; Warsaw alone
furnishes 100,000 rations per day.
No disease prevails in the army, nor is it
possible to take more care of the health of
the soldiers than is done ; though the win-
ter season is already so far advanced, no se-
vere frost has hitherto been experienced.
The emperor is daily on the parade, and
reviews the different corps of the army, as
well as the detachments of conscripts who
arrive from France, and other necessaries out
of the marrazines of Warsaw.
STATE OF NEW-YORK.
The present appears to be a fair trial of the
strength of parties in New-York. The
federal ticket for assemblymen contains
several names among the first characters
of the state, and is headed witli Rurys
King. We select the following from
New-York papers, that our readers gene-
rally may kituwto what pitch the contest
has risen.
To Rufus Kmg, Esq.
Sir,
From certain paragraphs in the Evening
Post, I apprehend that' it may become ne-
cesary for me to obtrude myself on the pub-
lic. As in that event I should wish to de-
rive some credit from the character of my
adversary, I request to be informed whether
you purpose submitting to the world any ex-
planation of your interference with the Bri-
tish .government respecting the Irish state
prisoners in the year 1798 ?
I put the question in this way, because I
have not the honor of any personal acquaint-
ance with you ; because I intend that every
thing which may pass between you and me
on this subject shall be public ; and because
I have been informed that private applica.
tions for an explanation of that transaction
have been heretofore made to you by some
of my fellow-sufterers from your conduct,
and that you did not think fit to favor them
with a reply.
I am, sir,
Yuur mostobedient, humble servant,
THUS. ADDIS EMMET.
April 4th.
In the slimmer of 1798, while this coun-
try was virtually at war with France, while
our government was placing itself in a de-
fensive attitude against the expected aggres-
sions of that .country, and while the two
houses of congress had united to authorise
the executive to send from our shores disor-
derly foreigners—in this summer, the state
prisoners of Ireland, who were professedly
in the confidence and the schemes of the
French government, made a proposition to
disclose to the British government the indi-
viduals concerned in the Irish rebellion, to-
gether with the plans of the insurgents, on
condition that the facts disclosed should not
be brought forward as testimony against the
individuals, and that the prisoners should all
be exiled to some neutral nation, instead of
suffering a severer punishment. The terms
were agreed to by the British government,
and the disclosure made and published. In
this stage of the business, the American mi-
nister, knowing the situation of his own
country as Telated to France, and the inti-
mate friendship and confidence existing be-
tween the Irish state prisoners and the rulers
of France, exercised a right given him by
the laws of nations, in protesting against the
exiling those prisoners to the United States
(under the circumstances then existing) w ith-
out first obtaining the consent of his gov-
ernment. This is the honorable part, and
all the part, which Mr. King took in regard
to the state prisoners of Ireland. For this,
instead of being loaded with every vile and
oppobrious epithet, he is entitled to the
warmest approbation and gratitude of his
countrymen : this approbation and gratitude
he received from every American, whose
regard is worth possessing. [Com. Adv.~\
[The N. Y. Evening Post, in combating
the charge preferred against Mr. King, has
the following extracts from a state paper,
entiiled, " an abstract of the report of the
committee of secrecy of the house of com-
mons, in Ireland, presented to the house
July 17, 1798, by the right honorable lord
Castlereagbi"]
The report then refers to an appendix
containing some of the depositions which
the committee had before them. The first
of these is the examination of Dr. William
M'Nevin upon oath, which is given at
large, but from which only a few extracts
will here be made.
" Witness knows that a resolution was
entered into by the provincial committee in
February last not to be druerled from their
object by any concession of parliament"—
" Witness believes that disability alone pre-
vents France fiora canyujg b.er promise j^to
effect of irroading Ireland. He dies no":
think that tuc common peofltt c -ne far
thing about reform or ememofpatt n : he be-
lieves all they wish is exemption fioni the
payment of tythes."
Here ends the account of the examination
of Dr. M-Nei'in ; but now conies a witness
of still more consequence ; one who has be-
gan to acquire a degree and sort of notoriety
among us, which I fancy will last him as
long as he lives. But not to detain the rea-
der further :
Stand forth, Thomas Addis Emmet—you,
sir, who on Thursday night' last had the
scandalous audacity to collect and address a
society of your countrymen at the Union
Hotel, for the purpose of controlling our
election ; an election at which you have
not. even a right to vote—stand forth, sir.,
and speak for yourself.
Extract from the confem'on of the prisoner
Thomas Addis Emmet, flTSS )
" Thomas Addis Emmet, barrister at law,
in addition to the testimony in which lie de-
tailed the same facts, as the other witness
es, confesses, " that he was a . member of
the executive directory of the Union, being
appointed in January, 1797, and continued
till May in the same year ; and afterwards,
from his being re-elected in 1798, until the
time of his arrest. The first communica
tion with France which came to his imme-
diate knowledge, was in April 17D7, when
in order to establish a constant intercourse
with the French directory, an agent was
sent from Ireland to reside in France, where
he still continues. He knows that France
sent to this country assurances of her as-
sistance, &c—that it became necessary to
apply to France for a larger quantity of
arms than were promised at first, in order
to supply those given up to government.— .
He is certain that France gave assurances
that the armament in theTexel, in the sum-
mer of 1797, was intended to come to Ire-
land ; and that a further promise of assist-
ance, in April, 1798, was made by the di-
rectory.
" He accounts for the loyalty of the lower
orders in Muuster, during the Bantry-bay
invasion by the union having taken no jiains
to fircjiare their minds for the French, as
they had been amused with contradictory
accounts from France ; and it was also de-
termined to avoid an insurrection until the
French should come, had not the severe
measiues adopted in liikuire,, by the king's
ministers, urged the alternative of rising or
yielding up the cause. He believes, had
they waited until the French came, the ris-
ing would have been more general and for-
. midable.
" It was intended to raise a general fund
for the service of the union, by the confhea
tion .-f the church property, and that of all
those who did not join them : the persons of
the latter, if they did not actively oppose
the union, were to be only held as hostages
until it would be convenient to transport
them ;. and their wives, if they were not
hostile to the new order of things, were to
be supported by a stipend out of fhejr hus-
band's property—the rest to belong to the
public.
" He is persuaded that the bulk of the
people do not care about, or understand re-
form and emancipation, but that they are be-
come anxious for them, having bepn told that
they led to the abolition of tythes. It was
determined to have no ecclesiastical estab-
lishment whatever, nor any distinction of
rank."
Witness being asked as to the practicabi-
lity of Ireland being a Separate state from
Great-Britain when she had not means to
build a navy, and must be dependent on
England for the mere article of coals I he
replied " that he thought Ireland fully -able
to stand alone as an independent republic ;
her wealth and population had infinitely
increased within the last certuiy, and tho
she might and would for ten or twelve years
be much crippled by the fleets and power
of England, yet the strength of the British
navy would soon fait when Ireland ceased
to act with Great-Britain ; and as to the ar-
ticle of fuel, the extension of inland navi
gation would soon remove the necessity of
importation."*- hnd of the confession.
Behold ! Americans, behold the man
who has impudently thrust himself forward
to turn the fate of your election. Behold
him thr.'U^h the grates of a prison, and
hear him repenting of his offences and con-
fesing that he was one who applied to France
to furnisli money, arms and amunitioti to be
applied in the overthrow of his own go-
vernment. Behold him confessing that he
belonged to a party who formally resolved to
seize and confiscate the estates of all that
would not join them. Behold him confes-
sing that he was the advocate of reform
and emancipation, and that the bulk of the
people whose champion he was, had acted
under impressions totally different, " He is
persuaded that the bulk of the people do
not care about or understand reform ami
emancipation, what can more completely
unmask the demagogue than this ? The lead-
ers of the party stimulate them to insurrec-
tion and treason against their government :
to commit the most dreadful outrages, to
perpetrate the most cruel crimes, under pre-
tence that they want reform and emancipa-
tion, while at the very moment the ringlead-
ers know that the poor deceived populace
do not eare about or even understand the
question on which they have thus been ex-
cited to rebellion. As proof that the peo-
ple would have remained peaceable and
quiet, had it not been for their credulity
being abused by their demagogues, take
Emmet'so.vn confession, thatthe onlyreason.
why the " lower orders in Minister" conti-
nued loyal to their own government, was,
because " The Union had taken no pains to
prepare their minds for the I'rench .'"
