THE NATIONAL REGISTER. I onDatt, SUNDAY, IRBRUARY 28. DISPATCEID3 FROM LORD CATHCART. The news of the week has been equally gratifying and im portant. The contents of the Gottenburgli Mails which have been received, and the Letters of Lord Cathcart which we have given at length from last night's Go:rtte, will be pel'US-Cd with the highest satisfaction, and the picture of bortor and desolation which they furnish, while it calls ho . . inanity to shudder, must make reason rejoice in the over whelming destruction which has fallen on the instruments of tyranny and BUONA PARTE. From these documents, it appears, that instead of remain ing on the hanks of the Niemen as the French would have us believe, the Russians have not only become masters of Memel and Konigsberg (having taken in the latter place 1,300 pri &-;nels and 8,000 sick), but they have occupied .Klbing, blarienberg, and Marienwerder, and crossed the Vistula in great force. No mention is made of Dantzic having been invested in these accounts which come down as late as Jan. Both, but from the inability of • the remains of the French army, to offer any effectual resistance to the adivancing. Rus sians, and from the statement made by Lord CATHCART that the garrison of Dantiic could not amount to more than balf sfrLat it ought to be, little doubt can be entertained of THE NATIONAL REGISTER. - FEB. es that event having taken place, and without being unreason ably sanguine in our expectations, we hope we may antici pate its fall as soon as the , Russian batteriny artillery shall have arrived. The statement of its surrender, circulated during the week, has been contradicted by later intelligence; but, from the anxiety of BUONAPARTE to have it believed that it is not in danger,we cannot but see apprehension in his boasting, and trust his fears will prove as well founded as his o aasconades arc insolent. Lord CATHCART does not mention the convention re. ported to have been concluded by the Austrians with Gene. ral SACKEN, he states, on the contrary, that they maintain ed themselves on the Bug to make a diversion in favour of the enemy's corps retiring to Dantzic. The present accounts contain the defection of General D'YoaK, and it appears that MACDONALD was only en abled to escape by stratagem. He wrote to WITTGENSTEIN, offering to capitulate, and the time thus gained,he employed in effecting his escape. It is found impossible to bury the numerous dead bodies which are founds At \Vilna sixteen thousand have been collected together to be burnt.—The following are his Lordship's dispatches, published in last nights Gazette. • My LORD, St. - Petersburgh, Jan. 8, 1813. 1 have the pleature to acqnaiiit your Lordship, that Count Heller arrised here last night from his Lnie Count Wittgenstein, with accounts of the surrender of the Prussian corps which served in Courland under General !)'York. And this off i cer statei, that the French Marshal, Macdonald, has written to Count Wittgenstein to treat for capitulation, apparently not aware how completely he was surrounded. Count Wittgerstein had sent Prince Repnin to setae this bnsinesl. Accounts were received last Sunday of the capitulation of the garrison of Memel ; and I saw in the hands of Field-Marshal Count Soltykoff, the copy of the capitulation, The Prussian Commandant was a Major, and the garrison cmisisted of two Prussian battalions, but there was iiu remit of their strength, or of the ordnance and stores in the place. Your Lordship will observe, that Gnmbinnen and Insterburg are cr czliti;!(.l, and that detachments are sent to Allanberg, Kreutzburg, and lirattusher. , , between Datittic and Konigsberg, so that I have nu duubt but r 'that the latter place is occupied by the Russian troops. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) CATHCART. [Here f Mows a Journal 'of Military Operations from the 2 sth to. the &Ali December, is given in the Gottenbingli Mail.) . The fallowing letter will be read with great interest : St. Petersburgh, Jan. 16, )813. MY LOAD—In a firmer dispatch I had the honour to enclose a journal of reports, received at head-quarters, to the M)th %villa the addition f4t the important new of the capitulation of M :..mel, and convention of the Prussian part of the corps under Marshak Macdonald. The particulars of this transaction hate not been pub fished, hut nothing can exceed the joy ina:!ifested by the Prussians on find'ng themselves at liberty to etubrace the Russians, and to re. new their former habits as companions in arms ; of this these is the most certain evidence. The terms wanted to the Prussians are ex tremely liberal.• A detached corps, under General Mussenbach, was included, in the event that orders could reach. him : these orders were in tine, and, with the addition of the corps in question, the Prussian troops included in the convention, it is stated to me, amount to fifteen thousand men. . Marshal Macdonald, however, availed h 7 mse!f successfully of stratigem, and, while treating for conference, had made progress in re moving the remainder of his force in the directiOn of Labial). He was, closely pursued during the, night from the 21st to the 2d instant, amt lost six liundr , .d prisoners ; but reports being received of a Frerch corps in force at Wehlau , it became nece.s3ry to direct the attention of the principal part of the pursuers to an attack upon that post: The occupation of Konigsberg by the Russian army is detailed in-' 4 two short bulletins, which have-been published, and which I hate the honour herewith to encloe. • His Imperial Majesty has been occupied In forming a new di,itri. bution of his arn;y, which is divided into metal curps* whidk are advancing in dilkrcut columns.
