Coulols for acc.64ii This morning a Mail arrived from Gottenburgh. A Mellinger and feveral paffengers came with the packet. The latter Rate, that news of a Battle had been tcceived before they failed, but that they had not learnt the particulars. The Mellinger is reported to have brought difpatches of an important nature. Molt probably the battle fpoken of relates to the fruitlefs attempt that was made to relieve Dantzic, and the difpatches to the fall of the place. We ought, however, to Rate that, notwithßanding the politive manner in which it was Rated in the laR accounts from Hamburgh, that Dantzic is in the hands of the enemy, tome people are of opinion that the intelligence may yet prove unfounded. The Captains of tome (hips which arrived at Hull on Thurfday from Elfineur Rate, that news had been received there, of his Majefly's floops of war Vat.oz -001. DAMITIMIS, and cost maul., carrying eighteen 32 -pounders each, baring arrived at Dantzic, cleared the banks of the riVer of all the French troops, and opened the navigation to that port, which proved a treat relief to its titifieged inhabitants. Another re port brought through the fame channel, is that the Pru(lians had made a feint to attack the French in one part of their entrenchments, whit(' General ICALXR EVT H made a rally with a large body of men, got in the rear of the French who were advancing to repel thofe troops making the feint, eventually de. F JIZEIGN I.7VTELLIGENCE. PARIS, MAY • The Generals, members of the Senate, charged by the Emperor with the organization of the confctipts of Oa, have fet out for their refpeeive deninations. The official Journal obferves--- 4, I'l.e operations pre- paratory to the levy of iBoB are carried on with a promptitude and regularity which promife the hap pica effeBs. 'lbe youth have envinced unbounded devotion and Confidence. In a number of cantons, the drawing has been followed by banquets, where the gaiety of the confcripts was particularly remark ed. The number of ahfentees, which was very (mall lan year, has been this year hill leis. One cattle which contributed the mon effeflually to this year's fuccefs, is the feverity ezercifed by the tribunals for Come months pan upon agents of corruption of every defcription." The fhip l'Orient. Capt. Juts CESAR PRETE, hay I ing only 23 men on board, was hailed on the rath of this month, off Antibes, by the Spartan Englifh fri gate.. Capt. Paeva fuffered four pinnaces, fent cut by the enemy, to approach him. In the ail of board. ing, his crew fired upon them, and almoft every man that prefented himfelf was killed by the firft difcharge. All that aaually boarded the veffel were fabred in the heat of the &aim, one feaman excepted, and the pinnaces funk. Not one man was killed on board the l'Orient in this affair, which does fo much ho. nour to Capt. Nava and his crew. The Emprefs of France has lately returned. with the Queen of Holland, from the Cattle of Lacken to Malmaifon. On the 23d, the Emprefs came from Malmaifon to St. Cloud, and on the following day the Qeen, her daughter, fet out for the waters of litgneres, with a fmall retinue. FROM THE TURKISH FRONTIERS, MAY 8. The Twits have had a bloody affirm with the Servians near Niffa, and obtained a complete viEtory. The following is the report publithed by the Servians on the fubjet9 : " On the 22d ult. the Turks attacked the Servian camp near Niffa. The attack, though not expelled, was fullained with the utmoft intrepidity, as the Servians drove the Turks three miles ; but the latter having received numerous reinforcements, renewed the attack, when, after a conflid which continued till night, the Servians were driven nine miles. Their lofs confifted of 4830 killed, 7235 wounded, and 800 prifoners." In the mean while, it feems that the impetuofity of the Turks has been exceedingly prejudicial to them in another quarter, as appears from the following report : 66 On the evening of the 25. h of April, a corps of Servians prefented themfelves before the little for trefs of Ofcuruk. Being obferved by tome of the Turkifb outpoils, a fortie was made upon the enemy l in the night, when a number of the latter, who had approached near - the wor ks before the place, were forced into the ditches. Milo, the Servian comman. dant, having afterwards colleded his people, retreat. ed through a valley, where he effelted a junaion with the corps that had been defeated before Niffa. Milo then concerted meafures with the commandant of that corps, and made a feint of retreating toge ther, merely to draw on the Turks. This had .the dared effeFt. Having reached a fecond valley. the Servians made a Rand to wait for the enemy, who loon came up, and made a vigorous attack ; imme • diately after which, the fecond corps of Servians made their appearance, and fell upon the Turks, much inferior in number, who were compelled to retreat, leaving 400 men upon the field killed and wounded. They alfo loft upwards of 700 piftels land kanghiers, or Turkifh knives. The Servians had 170 killed and 98 wounded. SEMLIN, MAY 6. Several French engineers having art ived at Sara gevo and Trawneck, to form a new road acrofs Bof nia, Bekir Pacha has obliged them to defer the exe cution of their plan, alledging that it was neceffary for him to write to the Sublime Porte. THE EVENING STAR. feated them with great (laughter, and occafioned a retreat of the remaining part of the befieging army. We wills we could add, that the reports brought by thefe Captains teem entitled to credit ;—but the private letters we have fees fpeak of the fall of Dant iic, not as likely to happen, but as having atually taken place, and complain of this country not hav• ing effeBed by fea, what was rendered impoffible to the Ruffians, by the French. having poffeffed them felves of, and fortified the (mall iflands on the fide by which alone the Ruffians could advance to relieve the place. Miniflers, we underfiand, entertain no doubt of the place having capitulated. STOCKHOLM GAZETTE, OF MAY S. " Head Qp . attere,Stralfund, May 2z. ,1 Lieutenant Generil Baron Wrede, who is to ferve in the army alfembled in this town and its neighbourhood, is arrived here from Sweden.

From Copenhagen, Riga, Mittau, Pillau, and Pe tedburgh, leveret (hips have Lined with grain flour, and grits for Koning(berg, and other Pruffian ports. SURRENDER OF DANTZIC. Since the arrival of the Gottenburgh mail, an ex tra boat has arrived, which left that place on the zd, with difparches from our Minifier at Copenhagen. It brings intelligence that Dantzic furrendered by Ca pitula,ion on the z6th, and furnifhes ns with another report of General Armfeldt to the Governor General Baron Effen, in defence of hia conclud on the 16. h of April. It is dated Stralfund, April 20. THE EXPEDITION. RAMSGATE, JUNE 7. Came into the harbour this morning, fifty fail of ttanfports, to take on board cavalry, foppofed to be the King's German Legion, which are expected to embark tomorrow. •• DEAL, JUNE 7. Arrived the SEA GULL and WRANGLER, with a 'convoy of Tranfports (about 40 f ail) , having on board the King's German Legion (;coo) and feveral Staff Officers, from Ireland ; INDIGNANT, Moscuttro, and BLAAVt gun Etrlgs, from off th e Coaft of France. A number of tranfports came down this morning from the River, which remain to take on board troops for the BAltic-. The tranfports with the King's German Legion on board have all arrived fafe at Dover. The i oth Veteran Battalion will embark to-morrow, at Portfraouth, for Canada. The zd light cavalry of the German Legion, at preterit in barracks at Canterbury, received orders on Thurtday, to hold themfelves its readincfs for ea. barkati. n. A troop of the 3d regiment of Dragoon Guards marched into Truro BarriClr, on Thurfday Serjeant Coos of this troop, having been tent on to Falmouth, and riding furioufly down a hill pear Pen ryn, his bode fell, when the unfortunate man was killed on the fpot. The North Devon Militia have returned to Pottf. mouth garrifon from Gofport, and the Eact Kent ate gone to Gofport. General Poarsa, M. P. is appointed to command the troops at Gorport. The 13th Light Dragoins, now do the Coati duty at Deal, Sandwich, and Ilic of Thanet, are orderei on the King's duty at 'Weymouth, and will probably march in a few days. Colonel MANIVOCH is appointed Infpeiting Field Officer of the Volunteers of Portfmouth Dahill. The recruiting fervice is fo far fuccefsful that every day great numbers of recruits are embarked for the depot in the Ifle of Wight. As Southampton is fixed for the iteactquarters by General exam, number of Officers of all dercrip tions are daily arriving, which will contribute to the benefit of that town. The tcli and 56th Regiment, are under orders to embark for the Eaft Indies. The Royal George, Wexford, and Wyndham, EaR Indiamen, are to re• ceive the 14th on hoard, and the Earl Howe and Di, nley, the 56th. The large India fleet now lying at Portfmouth is to be. immediately difpatched under convoy of the Sr. ALBA a's, of 64 guns, Captain AUSTIN. By this 'fleet many of the KING'S and Company's Officers go out to join their regiments at the different Prefiden cies, as well as at the Cape of Good Hope : a large body of tronps likewife goes out. We hive Peen letters which came by the Experi ment, and which defctibe the _terrible fituation in which the Mind of Sr. Helena is, from the ravages of the mealles. This diforder had been introduced by a neutral velrel ; but in a few days no lets than one hundred of the inha!itants died in the valley. Governor PATON had ellablifhed a board• of health, and placed the valley under quarantine, forbidding all intereourfe with it from any p iris of the Wand. Not only Generals Sir JoHN Casnnocic and Ish- COLLS, but likewife JONATHAN DUNCAN, Efq. Gover nor of Bombay, is expeeted home in the Brit fleet from India. Lord LAKE will likewife take his de pal cure, as Coon as the arrival of general Hawsrr is announced. ' Accounts have been received in town from Ja• maica, that the packet WAS to fail from thence tor Great Britain, on the 17th of April. Sir G. BARLOW, on his fettlement in the Madras Government, is to make a voyage to the Southward. He is to go by Arcot, through the Baramahl coun. try, Namgul, Coimbatoor, Darapooram, Amponram and Dindegul, and to return by .the fiontiers of Ma dura, the Polygar country, and Tt inchinopoly. Some preparations have been ordered at the different lieges for his reception. The objea of this journey is fimi lar to that undertaken by Lord Coati WALLIS to the Upper Provinces. A letter from Arcot mentions a fire having broken out in the vicinity of that place, which dettroyed a fmall village and a quantity of grain. One of the Zenanas having caught the Limes, the women fled from it to the neighbouring houfes: One of thefewo• men, who had been extricated from a fituation of great peril by a native, was met in her flight by bet hatband, who, iottead of thanking her preferver, at• tempted to murder him, and the man elcaping, the brutal hatband turned round and (tabbed the unfor• tunate lady to the heart. Scindia, on the remonftrances of the Britifit Go. vernment, has withdrawn the army with which b: menaced the Jeypuor Rajah. It is in the contemplation of the Calcutta Govern ment to reader the Jumna navigable for large lip as far as Allahabad. A letter by an American veffel from Bombay mentions, that preparations had been made there fat an expedition, which was generally underftood to be deftined againft the Mauritius. By letters from Cuteva we learn, that in the 1* ginning of March the devotees from all the adjacent provinces were affembling to proceed to the holy bathing place, on Sanger Ifland. It is Rated, that 20 ' 000 perfons palled through the country, in the courfe of a week, on their way to the Ganges. The 1 India Government has taken effeBual meafures to prevent the facrifices of children, which were ulna on this eccation. Some Miffionaries from Seranspote and other parts, attended, and preached to the ns• lives, and were heard with attention. A Polygar Chief has been arreaed at Dindigalt and fent to Madras, charged with being alive le ex' citing the late mutiny at Vellore.

About eleven o'clock on Saturday, a moil tremen dous (form of thunder and lightning paled over Wetiminfler Hall. For a few minutes the Court of King's Bench was aaually fo dark, being illumined principally by a lky•light, that the Judges on the Bench, and the Counfel at the Bar, could with diffi culty difcern each other. The thunder was awfully loud, the lightning terrifica'ly vivid, and the rain and hail fell in moll profuletorrents,notwithflanding it blew a Rrong gale of wind at the time.
