JAN. 24 ORDER OF THE' DAY, or T‘el. 12th (24th) OCT. 1812. It is hereby commanded, to all the Generals of Corps, all the Chiefs of Cossack Regiments, and also, all the partizans who act round the remains of the French Grand Army, under the orders of the Emperor NAPOLEON in person, to redouble their activity and atten tion in the execution of -their duty, that nothing may escape of the ruins of that A roy. After the immense losses which it has sustained for more than six weeks, during which our light troops have taken from one to six thousand men a day.; after having seen a great part of their cavalry destroyed ; and above all, after the glorious thy of the 6th (18:h) of this month, when General BENNIGSEN completely de feated the King of N arc', with the loss of a part of his artillery. and such ruin to his cavalry, that it has since never dared to skew itself bet Ore us ; it would be a shame to our army and our ligat troops, if a single man of the enemy was eeer to return to France.: and not pay with his life, or his captivity, the guilty insolence of having dared to follow, into the hew of the Russian provinces, that Black Aggressor who makes a sport of the blood of Ins people. The reinforcements of cavalry that have I irely come up, amount to WAD men, among whom are 25 regiments of Cossacks of the Don, who every day take a slumber of pieces of cannon from the rear of the enemy, which, weakened, harassed, and worn down, is now reduced to the most de plorable situation, and employs all its efrarts to evade our vigilance, anti escape our attacks. With these decided advantages, we repeat that no Freochman should ever see his country again ; but we lay it more than all UPCZI the responsibility of the Commandants and Chiefs of Cossack rer,iments, and on all our detached patties, so to watch round the French tamee. that the Emperor ;Amer:. may not per sonally escape. For this purpose we add :1;s description to this Order of the Day. This de.ktiotion is equally to be acted upon by all the Chiefs of districts, all Authorities, civil or military, all Postmasters, &c I fails order is strictly excentA, ar:illcry, ammunition,•equipage, every thine rnwo fall into our hands.

Your Excellency knows,that the R ussims oc cupied Tilsit the same day on which my rear guard retired from the Mittau.

Lieutenant-Colonel Treskuw again dist:eguished himel.f ; he lost one of Iris brave Cap tains M, Martin. " My heads of columns arriving yesterday, I made a disposition for attacking the enemy,but they did not think it prudent to wait an attack, which would hive been very fatal to them ; they retired on both banks of the Niemen, which they ascended. There no longer re mained at Tilsit but some Cossacks, when General baihelti, who the preceding evening, attacked witli so much vigour. the position of Puksuponen winch covered Ti!sit, up ,, n the left batik, entered this town at eight o'clock in the evenine.

The MONITEUR contains the following notes upon passages in English Newspapers : ENGLISH PAPER.-11apoleon's afFiirs are like himself, in extremis, an.i there arc hopes that events of importance, ace. MONITEUR.—The English Ministers, who write these articles, are right. The Emperor's affairs are in the same condition as its health. They are again right—afftirs of importanc e are going io take place in France ; but in an invetse sense to what the English :Ai nisters expect. ENGLISH PAPER.—We announce, with regret, that on Monday last, a meeting was held at Nottingham, to consider it it was proper to present to the Prince Regent and Parliament Petitions for Peace, &c. MONITEUR.—here is the true explanation ref the Emperorsindis position ; here is the true explanation of Lord Walpole's mission to Vienna, and of the couriers from Vienna who were made to arrive in London ; of all the reports which are raised of troubles in France, of the discontent of the people, and in short, of all the intelligence which can deceive the English people respecting the situation of affairs. • It is the English peon le who are weaty of being excluded from the Continent ; it is they who are fatigued with the wars fn Spain and America ; it is they who on all sides express wishes which would oblige the Oligarchs of that country to become wise, and give peace to the world. To turn the people from this object, and amuse them, :hey are made to believe that the French troops are abandoning Snaio, and that there will no longer be any sacrifices to be made by the English people, because their troops will be masters of the Pe ninsuta, to the Pyrenees ; tiler the Emperor is sick and dying ; that his bad state of his health has an influence upon his mind ; that there is nJthing more to fear fram him ; that the French, discontented and di.heattened, are without energy, without love for their country, without nari•inal spirit ; that they are ready to revolt, and accept of any conditions. What miserable shifts 1 The wars in Spain and the North will he considered primary objects ; 300,000 men, all French, will, in the course of February , be collect ed at Hamburg!), upon the Elbe, upon the Rhine, and upon the Oder, independent of 200,000 men who ate with the grand Army ; and *the ensuing campaign will be opened with a French army , nea rly twice as strong as the last cam .paign. At the same time, the French army in Spain will be reinforc ed, and maintained at its full compliment of 200.000 men. England boasts of having, including tier marines, 400,000 men upon foot, in Europe, the Indies. Asia, nod America. • The population of France is at least quadruple. Thus if England•has 400,000, the proportion of Fraace should be triple. In withdrawing from this calculation 200.010 men for the marine and the coasts, there will remain an effective million of men, which France can have on foot with equal ease as England can 400,000. . ENGLISH PAPER.—We are assured that CA:ImM has set out fur France with 4,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry. MON ITEUR.—FaIse, very talse; reinforcements are, on the contrary, marching for the North of Snail]. The celebrated Twenty-ninth Bulletin conveyed to the 'while the enemy's representation of the passage of the Be rezyna : the following narrative 'of the same event has bees received from Gottenburgh, and was, we understand, 'written by Sir ROBERT WILSON himself:— " Admiral Tschichagofi had, on the morning of the 28th of No vember, c:im•nenced his attack on the corps of troops that covered the ailing of the enemy's army across the bridge: this. corps was commaudzil by Oudinot, and strongly posted in a wood.
