From a gentleman who has arrived, we received yesterday the following instrument, dictated in the accustomed spirit of Bonaparte on the eve of a new war. It is, we understand, published from the French head-quarters in Prussia.
PROCLAMATION.
Frenchmen!--I am again called upon to wage war with the north.
Soldiers!--I myself will lead you against the Russians.
In the commencement of July I shall be present in St. Petersburgh, and I will mark out to the emperor Alexander, the fit boundary of his dominions.
Poland shall be the future barrier, to place it beyond the power of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh again to ruin it.
