The people of Konigsburg have addressed a - remonstrance to their
master which gives a curious picture of the neutrality that Prussia maintains towards Poland. Their subject of complaint is the danger in consequence of their constant intercourse with the Russian army, from the ravages of the cholera, which that army seems to propagate wherever it moves. They speak of the baking- apparatus necessary to supply the Russians with provisions—the fleet of Russian transports at Dantzic—the boats employed in the Russian service on the Vistula, all of which give facilities for the spread of a disease which is a just object of alarm. It appears besides, that orders have been given to permit the vessels in the Russian service to land stores at Pillau, and to transport them from thence by the Haff, the Nogul, and the Vistula to the Russian army.
