Since the departue of the grea- ter part of our garrison, our inhabitants do duty. The' French soldiers, especially the Hus- sars, have such a quantity of Prussian four and six groschen pieces (_i;d. and 7, 1-2 ster- ling) that they deal them out by handfuls, without counting them, in exchange far gold.

Soldiers, I cannot better express to yoir. the sentiments I entertain for you, than by telling you that I bear in my heart the l&ve you daily shew me. hr-^m cur imperial camp, at Potsdm, Qct&- her, 26, 1806. (Signed) NAPOLEON, she account of the hatred which the minister Schulciibiirg borelo Fiance. The emperor soon undeceived her, and made known to her that papers had been intercepted which proved that her husband was acting a dou- ble part, and had committed a great crime. The princess attributed to the imposture ot his enemies this accusation, which she cal- led a (Jalumny. "You know your husband's writing," satd Napoleon " I am going to make you judge." He then ordered the' Intercepted letter to be immediately brought to him, and delivered it to her. This Woman, upwards of months gone with child, fainted at eery word which discovered to her how far the accusation was fo'Ugdeg against her husband, whose writing she knew it to be. The emperor was touched with her grief and confusion, and with the anguish ofher soul. " Well," said he, " you have hold of that letter, throw ft into the fire ; this document once destroyed, I shad be no longer able to get your husband con- demned." (This affecting scene passed near the fire place.) Madame Hodzfeldt did not let herself be told a second lime to burn it. Immediately after, the prince of Neulchatel received orders to restore her husband to her. The military commission was already assembled—the letter alone oi prince Hatz- feldt was enough to condemn him—three hours later he had been shot. PROCLAMATION OF THE EMPEROR AND KING. Soldiers ! You have justified my expecta- tion, and worthily answered the confidence of the French people. You have supported privations and fatigues with as much cou- lage as you have shewn intrepidity and cool- ness in the midst of combats. You are the worthy defenders of my honor and crown, and of the great people—as long as you are animated with this spirit, nothing will be able to withstand you. The cavalry have vied with the infantry and artiileiy : I no longer know which part of the army to give the preference to. You are all good soldiers. These are the results ot our labors. One of the first military powers of Eu- rope, who so lately dared to propose to ns a shameful capitulation, is annihilated,. The forests and defiles of Franconia, the Saal and the Elbe, which our forefathers would not have crossed in seven years, we have crossed in seven days, and fought in the interval four engagements and a great battle. We have procured at Potsdam and Berlin the renown of our victories. We have made 60,000 prisoners, taken 65 stand ot their colors, amongst which are those of the king ol Prussia's guards, 600 pieces of cannon, three fortresses, and upwards of '10 generals. Nevertheless, more than one half of you regret not to have fired a musket shot. All the provinces of the Prussian monarchy, as far as the Oder, are in our power. Soldiers, the Russians, boast of coming to us. Wc will march to meet them, and thus spare then half the road—they shall again find Austerlitz in the heart of Prussia. A nation which has so soon torgotten the generosity we shewed it after that battle, in wiiich its ernpcior, court, and the wreck ol iis army were only indebted for their Safety to the capitulation we granted them, is a nation which cannot successfully cope with us. Nevertheless whilst we march to meet the Prussians, new armies found in the in- iferioi of the empire; come to take ouj- place. NEW-YORK, January 30. It will be a satisfaction to such of cur citizens as have commercial connections at Hamburg, to be informed, that the designs of the French were known there thirty-six hours before marshal Mortier took possessi- on of it—and that, therefore, the gieater part of the English property was esnbarkto, and the vessels con:aining it were left a perfect safety; Sfrr'fDed, The brig Calliope, Record', it days I Charleston, January 23, off Cape-Henry, saw a British frigate, having in tow the ship Apollo, of Baltimore, Dec. 31, on the outward passage, captain R. lost his mate overboard, John J.
