Intense European Movements Reported Across Oder Front
Berlin dispatches dated February 6 describe French corps maneuvering on the right bank of the Oder with one force advancing toward Colberg and Stetten and a second near the Ware. Marshal St Cyr likely commanding the latter. Predictions point to a Vistula push and potential link with Dantzic, with heavy troop and supply preparations noted. Cossack detachments withdraw before approaching regular troops as irregular Polish forces are contemplated but rejected, while other reports place Prince of Ecktruhl near Stettin and Ney possibly headed to Spain amid shifting Saxon forces and renewed hostilities.
