Government have at laR received Difpaiches from this gallant General. They were brought to Yarmouth yeaerday morning by a Meffenger who landed from the Laart packet,Capt.Daxt.,from Gottenburgh. The contents of there difpatches have not yet. tranfpired, but the mefrenger and pairengers, on their landing at Yarmouth, corrobor ate the account of the fueeetres of the Ruffians over the French on the 26th of Decent. ber. It is alto Rated that feveral tkirmithes had taken place between the hoßile armies on the 7th, Bth, and gth of January, us all of which the French were woofed. Marfbal Neer propofed an armiftice, but it was re jaled by the Ruffians; and the tgth of January was fixed upon by the Ruffian Generals for making a grand attack with their combined forces, but the ' French prudently avoided trying their ftrengrh in a general engagement, by haßily recroffing the Viftula, carrying with them their fick and wounded, amount ing to t6,z00 men. - Sudrare the accounts commu nicated to us from Yarmouth, but nothing official has tranfpired on the fubjeet. The Englilh Meffenger left Pillau on the 22d of January, in an Engliflt verel, which brought him to the Sound. Some accounts Hate the King and Royal Family of Prulla to be at Konigtherg, while others affert they are at Memel. We are concerned to Rate, that the French have at la( entered Swedifh Poinerania. The temporary retreat of MORTIS& has been only a feint. and by this time a ferious attack has been made upon Stral fund. a fortrefs with the maintenance of which the ho nour and independence of Sweden is deeply involved. The following private letter, brought by the Hufum Mail of yeaerday, confirms this clifagreeable intelligence : " DEMON, JANUARY sB. The various reports that our neighbourhood and Swedifb Pomerania would continue free from &cies of war, have fuddenly vanithed, as for Come days pati, and even loft night, feveral regiments of French troops under General Dupont, availing thensfelves of the firength of the ice, have paired the widely ex tended waters of the river Peen; and entered Swe dint Pomerania. We are now bufy in reitoring the bridges detlroyed by the Swedes, in order that the artillery and cavalry may follow. The Swedifh bea cons are every where lighted. Gtifswald, Wolgail and Grimm sill be in the hands of the French to-day. " Three o'clock in the Afternoon.—The bridges are ready for the refl of the troops. The whole army is palling without oppofition. Marfhal Mortier has this day AT a red from Anclam, and entered Pome rania.," GOTTENBURGH MAILS. Two Gottenburgh Mails arrived this morning The following are the articles of any importance they bring: GOTTENBURGH, JANUARY a. " Lail night arrived the Lark packet with an Englifh and a Ruffian courier, who both let off im mediately for St. Peter(burgb. " JAW. 30.—Lall night a courier arrived here with difpatches from Vienna, and from the Pruffian head quarters ; he is alto the bearer of overland difpatches from India. 46 The 6th of January was celebrated at St. Petett. burgh as a general day of thankfgiving, under the firing of artillery, for the fignal victory obtained over flnnaparte, on the 26th ult. 66 Fes. t —Another courier reached this place tact night from the head quarters ; he reports that there were battles between the French and Prut tient and Ruffians, on the sth, 6th, and 7th of Jan. and that, as late as the 16th, news was received at Kuningtburg, of fuccelFes obtained over the French ; on which account the , e bad been gun firing and re joicing; he alfo Rates that General Ney had pro pofed an armitlice, which had beep refuted. The King of Pruffia was at Memel." TRENCH PAPERS. Lail night we received Paris Papers to the Bth int one of which contains the Fifty•third Bulletin. _ It appears from it, that the French General Vtcroa, who is mentioned in the Forty-ninth Bulletin as hav; r.t out, with the tends corps of the army, to Wage Colberg and Dental; and to " tale thefe places during the winter," is aerially a prifoner in the hrt thefe fortreffes. He was intercepted and taken by a Yruf6an patrole as he was on his way to Stettin. Nothing is faiti about his divifion, but we lhosad not be furptifed if, inflead of attacking Col berg and Dantzic, it was originally defined to co operate with MORTIER in the liege of Sttalfund. Our Readers will obferve that Devous r's account of the battle on the 26th December, given in the, preceding column under the article Batnberg;diffeti confiderably from the (latements in the 47th and ' 5 Bulletins. FIFTY-THIRD BYLLETIN OP THE GRAND ARMY. Very conliderable magazines of provitions have been found at Brieg. Annexed is the capitulation of that fortrefs. 4 , Prince Jerome continues the campaign in Silefia with great affivity. Lieutenant General Deroi had already invefted Karel, and opened the trenches. The liege of Schweidnitz, and that of Niefle, con tinue at the fame time to be carried on. 4g General Vidor, as he was proceeding to Stet tin in his carriage, accompanied by an aid•dacamp, and a angle domeflic, was carried off by a party of twenty-five chaffeurs, who were fcouring the country. The weather i► become .cold, and it is probable that in a few days the rivers will be frozen. Never. thelefs the (talon is not more fevere than it dually is at Paris. The Emperor makes it a daily practice to attend the parade, and to review tome of his re giments. " All the magazines of thy army are organizing, and receiving Rotes, &c. &a. Great quantities of bitcuit are preparing. The Emperor has jun ordered, that vaft magazines fhnuld be formed, and that a confiderable quantity of cloathing fliould be made in Siiefia. 44 The Engligh, who can no longer gain credit to their affertion, that the Ruffians, the Tartars, and the Ca'mucks, are about to deftroy the French army ; becaufe, even in the London coffee houfes, it is well known that there worthy allies, who cannot bear the afped of our bayonets, now , call to their aid the dy fentery, the plague, and the whole trail; of epidemic difeafes. " If there evils were at the difpofition of the Ca binet of London, there cannot be the leaft doubt that not only our army, bnt even our provinces, and the manufaouring clafs of people on the Continent, would become their prey. In the mean time, the Engli(h content themfelves with publilhing in every way, and under every form; by their numerous emiffaries, that the French army is ddiroyed by direafes. If they are to be believed, entire battalions fall around, like thole of the Greeks at the commencement of the liege of Troy. They would employ a very commodious way of getting rid of their enemies ; but they mull renounce it. Never was an army in a better condi tion. The wounded ate recovering fait ; and the number of deaths are very incontlderable. There are not fo many tick as in the preceding campaign. There are even fewer than is ofual in France, accor ding to the common calculations, in time of peace." , PARIS, FEB. S. This day, at one o'clock, the different bodies of the State were admitted to an audience of her Ma. jelly the Emprefs and Q2een. M. Munge, Prelident of the Senate, addreffed the following difcourfe to her Majeily:— .. MADAM, " It is four months Once the heart of your Imperial and Royal Majefty was deeply affiicled at the approach of a war, as inevita ble as it was unforefecn, and which could not but mute more French blood to flow. The blood of France is fo precious,' exclaimed your Majefty, and muff It then be poured forth to cbtek the follies of an iii advifed Monarch ? On this principle your Majefty was delirous of peace. a The Emperor, whole vigilance it was attempted to deceive, by the fallacious proteitations of perfonal friendship, was not, per haps, at his departure, without hopes of avoiding a war, for which there was no juft caufe. The outrageous threats of a young and inexperienced Prince did not dilturb the tranquillity of his fupe rior mind ; and on the eve of the firff and left battle, wheu he di& played to him the danger of his pofition, and the certainty of his ruin, he opened to him not only the door of fefety but even of honour. The Emperor, therefore, proved kis folicitude for peace. But is it peace that our implacable enemies are anxious to obtain? No, Madam, kla long knee they flattered themfelves with the hope of blotting out the name of France from the lift of nations, as they bad effaced that of Poland. Perhaps, they MU indulge it. With refpedt to France, they have renounced every fentiment of morality. No promife engages them, no treaty binds :hem; they are without honour in their conduta, and the truth iffues not from their lips; and it the King of Pruffra at length took up arms, it was becsufc he was certain that, without that, he would have been poniarded is the rildit of his Court, as was the cafe with Paul I. The God of Emptres Is at length wearied with fo much ini quity ; nor can it be denied that he means to make arc of France in order to reform the morality of King*, fioce, in hit goodnefs, be has entrufted its dettinics to the hands of an Hero, whom he has bets pleafed to endow with every great quality ; to whom be deigns to unfold the ways of his wiLlom; and whole atm he fof• tains in battle. " Madam, the Senate lays at your Majehy's feet the tribute of its profound refpedt,as well as the homage of its admiration for an your virtues. It fupplicates you to receive its congratulations on the glorious and incredible campaign with which his Majesty has terminated the year iBo6. It begs leave to exprefa its bapppinefs in teeing again in the bofom of the capital the auguft Spode whom an adored Chief has invclted with his entire confidence, and who is worthy of all the titles which the poffeffes. May your Majefty enjoy long lift for the happioefs of France, and of its Emperor r FROM THE BANKS OF THE MAYN, JAN. a 7. The village of Kletfchow, near Schweidnitz, has been but nt by the bombs which have been difeharged from the fortrefs. AUOSBURGH, JANUARY A lirorg detachment of French artillery foldiers paged tkrcugh this town this morning, on their way from It.sly to the Grand Army. Several detach meats of infantry me alfo expelled. FRANKFORT, JANTYARY The divilion of she army intended to befiege Col. berg and Dantzic, is affembling at Stettin. Ezclufive of•tlae French troops, it will be compofed of the con tingents of the Grand Dukes of Het& Darmftadt, Baden, and Wirrtzburgh ; of the Duke of Nairn, the Grand Duke of Berg, the Princes of Hohenzol lern and Ifenburgh. It is fuppofed that the contin gent of the Prince Primate will alto join this army. By letters from the head quarters of his Majefty the Emperor and King, we learn that the light troops pufh their advanced polls to a great diltance from the right bank of the Viftula. Their reports confirm the retreat of the Ruffians beyond Bialyftock. We are allured, that the greatelk difunion prevails "be. tureen the Ruffians and the Pruffians. The King of Pruffia Willed, it is faid, that a part of the Ruffian army lhould advance on the fide of the Pregel, for the purpofe of covering Eaft Pruffia ; to which Mar tha! Kamenfkoy would not confent. He chofe the line of the Niemen, and left only detachments of Coffacks and fame regiments of light cavalry on the left bank of that river. The Confederated Polifh army will foon be orga nifed. It is believed at Berlin, that Marthal Maf fena is intended to have the chief command of die Polifh troops. This General pallid on the 25th through Bayreuth, gml made a vifit to the Governor General Legrand ; he proceeded on his journey the fame day by the way of Leipfic and Berlin. VIENNA, JANUARY 2,4. A courier who arrived here on the 211 i from Con. Rantinople, has brought certain intelligence of the Porte having formally declared war agaialt RufGa and that the Minifter of the latter power, Count Italinfki, embarked on board an Englith vac! on the 24th ult. to be conveyed to Malta. The Porte has again depofed Prince Ipftlanti, and has appointed Prince Suitt) his fucceffor, who fome months ago was named as Hofpodar of Wallachia. The Marquis de Lucchefini, whofe arrival here has been already mentioned, is going to Lucca to his family. He is only waiting for French paflports. Captain Kunz arrived here on the 18th, from the Head-quarters of the French army, with difpatches from General Vincent. Our Gazette of this dly contains the following news from Turkey:—" More than 70 gun boats are before Gallatz ; they are to be re-inforced by a divifion from Seballopol. The Governors of OdelTa and Taugaroc, the Duke of Richlieu, and Lieut. Gen. de Itofenburg, have alfo put themfelves in motion, with the garri font which they command. A ftrong di►ition of the Ruffian army has appeared before the fortrefs of , Guergewo, which has a Turkith garrifon of zsoo men, and which kerns refolved fo defend itfelf. " Direß intelligence from Bachareft informs nsi that General Miehelfon left that place on the 29th of December, for Dfuru, with the intention of marching towards Albania ; but the Porte is, putting its forces in motion in every quarter, to defeat the projelts of the Ruffians. The latter do not teem very tali re fpeeing their conquefts, finee they every where leave garrifons more or lefs numerous. The Ruffian Con ful bad not returned to Bucharell. A wealthy Turk of dillindion has been kept prifoner, until the Conful be fet at liberty. No fubjeß of Auftria has experienced any thing di(agreeable on the part of the belligerent powers." BANKS OF THE DANUBE. JAN. 28. According to accounts from Turkey relative to the events which are poffing there, we learn, that although there has not yet been any formal d,clara tion of war between the Porte and Ruffia, yet hofti lilies have commenced in feveral quarters. The terms of the capitulation of Choczym develgpe more than any thing the ambitious projeas of the Ruffians. The Wurtemburgh troops that are before Schsveid nitz, have been feveial times attacked by the Pruffian garrifon, who wanted to diflodge them from the neighbouring villages, but without fuccefs. The terms on which the Ruffian General Effen occupies Choczim, are as follows The Turks (hall have liberty to depart with all their property. 2. The Turkiffi Government than ceafe from the day of the furrender, from which time that of his Majefty the Emperor of all the Ruffias will commence. 3. The foitrefs as well as its Raja (territory depend. ing on it), is the property of the Ruffian monarchy as is (4.) all the artillery in the place. 5. The Pa cha may refide in the Ruffian empire. 6. Thofe Turks who with to refide in the Raja, may do fo, without fear of being difturbed in the exercife of their religion. 7. After the reduaion of the fortrefs, the Turks may remain fifteen days to fell their effeas on market days. 8. During the Paid fifteen days, no Turk may go about armed. Tt was mentioned in the French Papers received la[ week, that an Englith frigate had been forced to take fhelter in St,. Sebahian s, and had been cap. tured. The vefel alluded to was the American !hip Wellington, which had been detained near the Spa• coatt by the &Avesta frigate, who put 40 men on board her to take her to England. Shortly after a gale came on, when the was obliged to make fail for St. Sebetian's. Two of the offenders concerned in the riot which took place on Sunday, in the fields near Brunfwick fquare, of which we gave force particulars in our loft, were yefierday taken into culletly, and, after an examination at Hatton Garden office, they were re manded.
