Our.accounts from Dantzic are contradiantrin the extreme ; Anse reprefent the place as likely to furrendcr every day, and others fay it may hold out a long time. In the night of the 291 h, the befiegers three times attempted to norm the place, but were repulfed each time, and obtained an armitlice of four hours to bilry the dead.—All the waggons and holies at Koningfberg have been put in requitition, and perfons fending a horfe out of the place are fubjed to a heavy penalty.—A number of (hips have failed from Copenhagen to Koningfberg, and "othet Pruflian ports► with provifions. ROSTOCK, MAY ir. Some thnufands of peafants are employed in re pairing the forti6cations of this place.—Communica tion with Swedith Pomerania is no longer permitted. BULLETIN. " MALMO, MAT 3. —According to a report made by Governor General Von Effen to his Majefty, dated April 26, all the gun boats, even the decked .noes, have fafely arrived from Uckcr monde, at Wolgeß. on the sath Init. Colonel Carden alfo arrived with his corps at Laffahn by fea. A courier arrived here ycfterday from Memel, who reports that nothing had happened between the armies on the 24th ult The advanced polls of the two armies, however, approached each other, and a battle was hourly expeded. The garrifon of Colberg is Paid to have made a fortie, in which the French were treated fo roughly, that little fear is entertained for its future fafety. " Some men of war are ordered from Carlfcrona to take on board topos Pruffiani, who are to be landed in Swedith Posne rants, thefe troops are to embark at Maisel and Dentate. " P. S. MAT B.—Reports have bees received here today from Sackholm and ether places, that &general adtion has been fought between the French and the Allies, which laßed three days, and terminated in favour of the latter—but I cannot trace it to any au. thentic fource. Neguciations for peace are at the fame time Paid to be going on. " The King will leave Malmo for Stralfund to morrow, accom panied by Mr. Stratton, the Engilib Minilter. The Queen and Prince Royal, together with the Ducheli of Brunfwick Gels, are coming to Gothenburg. to pals the Whitfun holidays. Ten thoufand Pruffians are expcdted at Stralfund immediately'' GOTTENBURGH, MAY 8. Yeiterday a Swedith velfel arrived from Colberg, after having carried thither a cargo of herrings. The Captain has brought a letter for his Owners, wherein it is mentioned that Colberg is bravely defended againa the French, who have not yet been able t. take a firg,le out-work, notwithilanding all the fa crifices they have already made, efpecially in pof Petting themfelves of a flit that cnmmandi the mouth of the kaihnor. I'ho inhabitants have not the leail fear that the place will be taken, but on the contrary think of aaing offznfively. MAY t I.—His Majeily intends to take the com mand of I:is army; which will in a fliort time be joined, according to the bed information, by to,ooo Ptuflims, nod 4o.ooo'Btitith troops, who are daily expe'led to orrice in the :Baltic. BANKS OF THE ELBE, MAY rt. The pofitions of the French and Rotlian armies have not been materially altered for the lalt two months. They have been confiderably reinforced in the crtntfe of that time ; but the bad mad.; and the weather have put a complete llop to Al military ope rations. This inaaivity was, not withaanding, inter rupted by an attack which the Ruffians made by lea on Elbing, the refult of which is not yet known. The garrifon of DantzTc, apprifcd of this attack, flattered MIN' that the enemy would he obliged to Fa ifc the liege, which, however, had ru.t taken place on the 3oth ult. as the town was virrouily bombarded on that d tv. The latch intelligence from the befieging army gives us reafon to hope, that the fortrefs will Ilion fall into our power. Exclufive of the three Swedifh frigates, there are feveral trinfports at Koningfberg, dellined to convey 6000 men to Stralftind. Generals Blucher and 'Fattenzien, it is Paid, are to have the command of thefe trvlps. Two t;toufand Dalecarlians lately ar rived at Stralfund. PRIVATE LETTER—LOWER ELBE, MAY 13. Private accounts hate the French to have had 8000 to to.ooo killed in the attempt to (form Dant. zic ; and the garrifon is Paid to have made a furious rally with great fuccefs. It is certain that General Kalkreuth has declared he will furrender on no terms. It is laid that Generals Blucher and 't'auenzien are coming with confiderable corps ;—the former to Stralfund, the latter to relieve Colberg. Nei& and Glatz Rid hold out. Marfhal Brune has left us and is zone to Schwerin, and then to Roflock ;—he is to have the command of an army of 60,000 men, to be afTembled on the Elbe. before the end of May. and fo Rationed as to cover the operations of the Gtand Army. • KONINGSBERO, APRIL %r. Three large veffels, carrying from I a to 14 goes, have been completely fitted out from Pillau, and are now lying in the Frilch Haff, between Elbing and Braunfberg. We are alfo extremely :Olive in equip ping block (hips and gun boats. The whole coaft is well guarded by a number of artillery, infantry and cavalry. On the t4th, Prince William, the Ring's brother, arrived at the army. The enemy is in trenched near Aliked, where he has about 3000 men. He teems alfo - to increafe his force near *Allertaein and Hohennein ; but it is thought (hat his principal force i. between O(lerode, Lobatt and Lauttnhurg, and all his cavalry between Straffiurg and Reden. THORN, APRIL a 6. It is generally Rated, in accounts received from the grand army, that Ruffian officers have been frequently leen 1 econnoitring our potition ; and that, from the number of their elcorts, it is foppofed they are per. lEons of high rank. At the fame time we learn, that the Ruffians have incrtafed confiderably in the neigh bourhood of 01 tlefburg, from whence a reinforcement has been fent to Allenttein. Marffial Davoull has a refpatable force in that neighbourhood. The French belieging army before Dantzic, is eflimated at a6,c00 men, and that before Colberg at 8000. WARSAW,.MAY 4. The new Polifh flandard of the White Eagle has been formally contecrated, and an eagle is alto erdled on the Town Houle. &fides the i-g,OOO men that are to be railed, Warfaw is to have a national guard, on; of the molt refpeflable Burghers, under the Counfellor of State, A. Potocky. VIENNA, MAY g: The Emperor, Who was indifpofed a fhort time at Buda, is quite reftored. The Archduke Charles has infpeEted the military preparations at this place and at Pea. • The Prince of Albeit Plefs is arrived here, - and a Pruffian Courier has' paired through this city I to Buda. AUGSBURG. MAY 3. On the 3oth ult. the t6th regiment of the line, (infantry) marched in here from Brefcia. Among them is the !harp (hooter who (hot Lord Nelfon in the battle of Trafalgar. This mai is now a lerjeant, and a Member of the Legion of Honour. Yetlerday evening General Boudet's divi6on broke up for Sunny, and to morrow he will be followed by Monitor's divifion. We obfcrve a number of Ger mans in the French ranks. LEIPSIC, MAY 3. Our fair, which is jolt ended, refembled a market where a death.like Mem: prevailed, and no bnfinefs was tranfatned, becaufe neither the Greeks nor Polifh Jews were prefent, and confequently,the fireets which they frequented were empty. Molt of the inns were deferted ; and the city reales which were formerly fo much frequented, had nothing to do. The Polifh Jews not doing band's by commillion, fpecie was fcarce, the coniequences of which were much felt, as well by foreign as native merchants. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. WEDNESDAY. MAY so. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK: Confola, for money, 4311—.f0r aec. 631—•Omnium Eschequer Bills, par. At a late hour laR night we received the Ham burgh Papers to the 13th, Dutch Gazettes to the 16th, and journals and letters by the Gottenbnrgh 'Mails of the 9th and trth initant. From thefe it appears there was no truth in the re port circulated of a battle having taken place oA the 3d inßant. In point of fall, nothing of importance had taken place at the main armies up to the 4th infant. It appears, however, that the French, of whore vigorous attacks on Dantzic the laR Mails fpoke with lb much confidence, have been completely foiled in that quarter. After a furious bombardment, they had ventured to affault the place; but they paid dearly for their temerity. Some of the accounts (late that their lofswas not lets than to,ooo men killed and wounded. They could make no impreflion on the town, and were at laR obliged to beg a few hours truce, which was granted them. to enable them to bury their dead. Tice journals under French guidance maintain, however, that the place mull foon fur• render. The Ruffians are Paid to have made an attack upon Elbing from the fea, but with what fuccefs is not mentioned. It is on this, their left flank, that the French, though apparently flrongeft, are really molt vulnerable. No efforts or precaution of theirs, can fecure them againft the confequences of the attacks which the command of the Baltic will enable the Allies to make upon them. WEST INDIES. The Newfpapers received by the Mail of yeflerday, Rate the French Wands to be in a very formidable Rate, both for attack and defence. The fea (warms with privateers from the Bland of Guadaloupe. The Negroes are Rated to be very tranquil ; and the refult of the trials of tome reputed confpirators, bad been not only the general acquittal of the coripirators, but a declaration by the Special Court, that no confpi_ racy had exifted. There feents to have been a moil unaccountable mifconception with regard to the late Ad for the Abdition of the Slave Trade. The King(lon papers contain a kind of public notice, that it is the intention of the Britifh Ltgiflature to indemnify any individuals who may be injured by the Abolition, and that the Jamaica Rave fa&ors may be comprehended, by pe• tition, in this cumpenfation. Yefierday her MAJESTY completed her fix;y-third year, which was nhferved in a private manner at Windfor, by the afTembling of moll of the Royal Fdmily, to congratulate her MAJESTY on the occa: flop.

The motley groups of vifitants crowded every avenue to the Park, and every face wore the appearance of joy and felli vity. Among the novelties that interelled the fpec: tators, a curious kind of vehicle claimed preeminence —The carriage alluded to, drove from Kent•ftreet to the fcene of merriment. It was a platform on wheels drawn by fix affes, decorated with ribbands. Seven damfets from the Mint, with as many fwains from the Banks of the Thames, rode in triumph. As they proceeded, they drank copious goblets of Geneva, and chaunted the merry ditty of In a rattler drove away."
