The regiment of Hohenzollern. and about 200 grenadiers of the Im perial Honk Guards, ate the only troops here. The garrifons of Magdeburgh, CuQ,in, &c. have taken the fame route, and are to be replaced by the Dutch OT German contingents. The Emperor Napoleon caufes the pay of Mat-Aral Mollendorff, about 40,000 francs a year, to be regu larly icnt to him every month. HAMBURGH, MARCH 27. Mat thal Brune is on the eve of his departure for Bremen, to infpeet the military defences of the place, and to make arrangements again( an apprehended invalion by the Englilb. On his return here from Lubec, Come days fince, he fent a courier to define that his entry into the city might be announced by a difcharge of eighteen pieces of cannon. The Dutch troops in garrifon here not having any guns, applied to the Senate for theirs ;• but the application was re filled, and the Marthal entered the city in privacy and dudgeon. The Senate, however, fent a Depu tation to him, laying, that although they objected to truft their cannon to the Hollanders, they had no reluctance to (hew all potlible relpeft to his Excel lency, and propofed that their own artillerymen fhould fire the falute ; to this he afTented, and the guns were dif:harged. The Grand Seignior has prefented to Sebaßiani the palace and gardens of Therafpia, formerly be lcriging to the venerable Prince Ypfilanti, father of the Hupodar of Wallachia : the Prince was beheaded in the prifon of the Boftangi Bachi, having previoutly been tortured to extort confeflion as to the place in which his treafure was concealed.

We have Peen a letter from a Britifh Field Officer (crying in the Ruffian army, dated the 6th of March, which gives a favourable view of the Rate of affairs on the other fide of the Viftula. The writer eftimates the lofs which the French have fuftained fince the battle of Eylsu, in killed, prifoners, and deferters, at 19,000 men ; and flares it as the general opinion, that fince they &ft trolled the Vifiula, they were not °tort of 80,000 men, hors tie combat. We have the fatisfaaion of finding from this letter, that Ge neral BENNIGSEN had been aanally joined by 25,000 frefhCoffacks,who were conaantly haraffing the flanks and outpofts of the French, and cutting off their fupplies and convoys ; and that the writer confider s the French cavalry as almoft annihilated. The Pruf. sans had greatly recovered their fpirits. In our opinion, the impending battle oromifes to be the molt defperate that has yet been fought, and is likely to be offenfive on the part of the Ruffians.— Their objet mutt be to relieve Dantzick, which is clofely befieged by Marfhal LEF‘ VRE, and which they will hardly Coffer to fall without a aruggle. In the mean time, MASSSNA Teems to be manoeuvring to get, if poffible, on the rear of the Rnflians, which Teems to be precluded by their prefent pofition in front of the Pregel. If, however, they fhonld advance with a view to a general engagement, it feems as if their flank was, at any rate, in danger of being turned by that experienced Commander, whom BONAPARIE appears to have particularly lathed for that impor tant fervice. We wait with anxiety for the next intelligence. Yefterday Colonel BATHURST, a very promifing young Officer, fon of the Bifhop of Nuswrcu, fet out for Memel, to join the Ruffian army as a volunteer, by permiffiun of the Duke of YORK. Since our laft no Mails have arrived from the Continent, but a few Journals have been received, brought by the fhip Barnes, which left Daotzic on the 19th ult. at u hick period no accounts had reached that city of any adlion between the hollile armies, fuhfequent to the affair in the neighbourhood of Guattadt ; in which the French, notwithtlanding their affertions to the contrary, were repulfed with lots. Some corps of French troops had appeared before Dantzic, early in March ; but on the roth of that month a fmatt affair took place, near the village of Roilnberg,, in which the French left 130 men pri f me; s ; 18 Germans, and forne Pcles were likewiie taken, and about rco men killed. Another affair, with A like refult, occurred the day after, on the road to Haupt. The 14th, a placard was placed on the Govern ment Houfe, announcing, that on the 12th the Pt uf flan troops engaged and defeated a corps of BERNA DOTTOS disition, at Zintern, taking fume prifnners, a cannon, and a tlandard; the I'rutlians remained in poffeffion of the town, and alto occupied Creuttherg and Eylau. Reinforcements were daily flocking to the Ruffian army. The head-quarters were, on the 14th, at Scheppenpeel, at the junction of the Guber and Alle. The left wing occupied the thong country along the Seeburg Lake, the right extended beyond Landfberg; the Coffacks were potted on the Pall:age and Waltha. The pofition which General BENNIGSEN had taken was particularly strong, and it was fuppefed he *ould await there the expefted reinforcements. In none of the papers received, do we find any thing to juftify a report which prevailed on Saturday afternoon, of a great battle having been fought on the P.tfrarge on the tSth ult. in which the French were defeated with great daughter. It originated entirely with a matter of a neutral veffel from Rot. terdam. EXPEDITIONS. We Rated laR 'veck, that Government had given notice to the Tranfport Board, to provide tranfports for a number of troops, to be employed on an expe dition which was immediately to be got ready.—On Saturday feveral tranfports were engaged by the Board, which has effected a confiderable reduCtic,n in the ufual charge for tranfports.—Coppered veffcls are allowed 195. per ton; wooden•fheathed valets i 75.; and tingle bottom 15s. only.—h is underflood in the City, that tranfports are wanted for 25,000 men. We have great fatisfallion in being enabled to (late, that a ferious mifunderitanding between our Court and that of St. Peterfburgh, occalioned b r the late Wale. relative to commercial regulations,, has been amicably adjufted. The regulations which feemed, in the firft inftance, direded againft the Britifh trade, were, in fad, adopted for the benefit of Ruffian fub jefts only ; an explanation has fince taken place be tween the two governments, and certainemodifications are to be introduced, which will completely fet the difpute at reQ. Government has determined to give to Ruffin every poffible fupport, and 60,000 (land of arms will be fent off with the utmoft difpatch. They were on Sat'trday inflated, and will be conveyed in two floops of war. They are to be followed by a proportionate quantity of ball cartridges. Upwards of go,ooo (lands, which had been previoufly fent with ball cartridges, had reached Memel, and are, at this moment, very likely employed with fuccefs againft the common enemy. It is reported that Major General MURRAY goes out to command at the Cape of Good Hope. General MURRAY'z long fervice at the Cape and in India, together with his great knowledge of our Ealtern Empire, point him out as particularly qualified for this important command. The bufinefs of the Barrack Department, the ar rangement for the permanent conduit of which has not yet been finally approved by the new Minifters, is at prefent under the fuperintendance of the fenior officet Lieutenant-Colonel MACKENZIE. On Friday the new Members of the Board of Trade, conliiiing of Earl BATHURST, Mr. Roes, the Duke of Mowraoss, Sir JOSEPH BANKS, and Mr. LONG, met for the firft time fence their appointments, at the Office in the Treafury, and proceeded to bufiners. WILLIAM Banwirt.ow, Efq. is returned to ferve in Parliament for the County of Armagh, in the room of Lord Vifcount ACHESON, now Earl of Gosfurd. We underftand that a very numerous party of Lord HENRY PETTY'S ftiends will have a grand Dinner, on Saturday the tklitt inliant, at the Free Mafon's Tavern, in order to celebrate the anniverfary of his Lordfhip's eledtion for the Univerfity of Cam bridge. On Saturday night we received letters from Cadiz of the 6th ult. which Rate that there were then in that port liz (hips of the line getting ready for fea. The following is an account of the Dutch naval force in the Teel :—ln Mars Diep, t Blip of the line, t frigate, 2 corvettes, and t fore (hip, with fails bent, all ready for fea.—ln New Diep, z (hips of the line, with fails bent ; one with an Admiral's flag at the fore-top ; and 4 {hips of the line with top malts (truck. By letters from Kirkwall we learn, that the Dutch frigate which was wrecked on the ifland of Sanda is not an entire wreck, and that fhe may Ilia be of confiderable ufe to Government. Her guns' and (mall arms will be all laved ; twelve of the former are all brafs. She was quite new, being her flu ft voyage, and the fink fitted out by Louts of Hol land ; bound for Curacoa with (totes and a reinforce ment of men. At the aflizes of Sligo tome trials of Threfhers, ended in capital conviaion. Mullen was found guilty the firft day of the aflizes ; on the fecond, two others for robbery and houfebreaking ; on tae fol lowing day a perfon of the name of Late. and five others were alto conviaed of the fame offence, and fentenced to fufftr death. At Rofcommnn affizes two men, for robbery, were capitally convi&ed. On Eager Monday, the Union Youths of Gravel. end repaired to the fleeple and completed another mufical and intricate peal of Oxford Treble Bob, containing 8160 changes, in five hours and (even minutes, being the greateft performance ever yet done by them or any other let of men at Gravefend, to the great furprife and fatisfaaion of all the hearers and amateurs of the great Campanalogic Science. HYDR PARK.—This charming place was, yeller day, the refort of all the elegance and fafhion of Lon don. The number of carriages was fo great, as to form a triple row, from Kenfington Gardens to Hyde Park gate. The %warmth of the Sun was overbalanced by the keen North wind, In that the ladies in the carriages were nearly concealed from our view, by the giraffes being up ; however, we could perceive the appearance of fpring, in violet, azure hlne.and French grey farfnet peliffes and hats. The only change in the drcfs of the fair pedeftrians, was a few white mantles, trimmed with fwanfdown, and •ery fine Leghorn hats. Amongft the Company in the Ride were— Her Royal Highnefs the Princefs Charlotte of Wales, his Royal Highnefs the Duke of Cambridge, the Duchefs of St.. Albans, the Earls of Cholmondeley, Camden and Eufton. Amongft the elegant carriages were thole of The Duke of Devonfhire, drawn by four hays—the Ducheffes of Roxburgh, Northumberland and Chandos—the Marcbinneffes of Headfort, Lanfdown, Downthire, and Bath—the Counteffes of Derby, Camden, :letton, Hardwicke, and Caffili , —the Ladies' Perth, Talton, M. &admit, Dacre, and Campbell.—Sir John Lade, Sir Francis Baring, Hon.

COMMISSIONERS OF MILITARY INZUIRY. The Fourth Report was delivered fome weeks ago to Parliament, and is, we are informed, of very confl derable length. It is accompanied likewife by fup plements to farmer Reports, one of which relater to an additional fum found to be due by General De Laney, and another is explanatory of Mr. Davifon's coal contracts. It appears from this, that the ufe to which the certificates were to be applied, was mifre prefented by Mr. Davifon to the parties who procured them ; thefe parties being led to believe that the public paid only the price charged by the dealers to Mr. Davifon. The body of the Fourth Report relates to Barrack buildings. The Commiffioners enter much at length into the theory and pradtice of the building depart ment, and apply the touchaone of invelligation to the buildings in the Ilk of Wight. Thefe buildings, com pleted many years fince, are valued by the builder at 200,0001. and upwards ; and although his bill is not yet madc: up, he appears to have received between 180,0001. and 190,0001. to account. The Commit fioners have caufed thefe works to be meafured, and the bill made out by profeffional men, under their own infpePion ; who, after every allowance, Rate the Oft colt of thefe buildings at not more than about it 0,0001. leaving a difference of nearly 'OO,OOOl. be tween this valuation and that of the builder But, what is of infinitely greater confequence, the fame builder has open accounts, to the amount of no leis than 1,500,0001. fielding! With this Report, the inquiries of the Commit fioners into the Barrack Department appear to ter minate. The event has but too fully juffified the pro priety of their feleaion, in making this department the fiat objea of their fcrutiny. Their firlt Report procured to the public the reimburfement of 100,0001. from General De Lancey ; the Second Report, al though hitherto little noticed, pointed out a flagrant abufe in the department of the Architeas ;—who, although reprefented to the Committee of Finance, in 1797, to be officers on moderate falaries, have been allowed, betides their falaries, at per cent. commiffion on the expence of buildings which it was their duty to controul, the amount of which became enormous. The Third Report regards chiefly Mr. Davifon, and is pretty generally known ; but exclufive of the abufes in coals, the ufe of the public money, and of public fecutities, added, in no fmall degree, to that gentleman's profita. But the Fourth Report is of infinitely greater confequence than any of the others; for if, in a payment of 180,0001. we have reafon to confider that above one third was overpaid, how much ground of fufpicion is there, when we find that the fame builder has received, 1,500,0001. upon ac count of bills not yet fent in ?
