By the dips Barbadoes, Capt.

Twenty-four fail for Surinam, Demerara, and Bel.- him parted on the sth April, without convoy; three of the fleet were miffing ; one of them, the Two Friends, bound to Honduras, was captured on the 13th April to the windward of Barbadoes, by l'Eclair French privateer; recaptured by the S !STILE fchooner, and carried into Barbadoes. The General Ernouf French privateer was feen to capture a brig, fuppef ed to be one of the THAMES'S miffing vac's, to wind- ward of Barbadoes. The Antigua Paper of the 16th of April ) mentions the capture of the (hip Dykes, one of the Cork fleet, dole to windward of that Wand, by two large French fchooner privateers, from which the Albion, from Dublin, narrowly efcaped, owing to the appearance of two letters of marque, bound to Jamaica. The Dykes had a valuable cargo, and was afterwards fees going into Guadaloupe. The trade from An tigua was expeatel to f:ail from that island on the 19th. The Blips from Barbadoes were to fail the ryth. Molt of the merchant 'dias captured at Curacoa (69 in number), have arrived at Jamaica, under convoy of the LATONA. The Dutch frigate, Kenau Haftlar, a Surinam corvette, and a flying fchooner, arrived fome time before, under convoy of the ARE THUSA.

It appears by letters from Naples, that the King continues his journey. He was lately at Brindifc, where he ♦iewed the harbour once fo fatuous and beautiful,but now in a minor condition, and refulved that it be rellored to its former date.

The removal of the (word and decorations of Fre derick the Great, together with the colours taken from the Pruffian army, to the Hotel of the Invalids, took place this day with great pomp and folemnity. The fword of the Pruflian monarch was borne by Marfhal Moncey, on horfeback, preceded by feve , al carriages, drawn by fix horfes, belonging to the chief dignitaries of the empire. The colours were divided into four parcels, and were placed onan elevate , '. car, furrounded by an efcort of mounted gen: d'armes.— Their arrival at the Place of the Invalids was an nounced, at half pelt two O'clock, by feveral filutes of artillery. The day was beautiful : an immenfe crowd of people covered the Efplanade, and filled the groves of the Invalids, as well as the adjoining Bviletards. This ceremonial took place in the body of the church. The difcourfe on the occafion was pronounced by M. Fontanges. Two large cafes, containing the antiquities of Ber lin and Potfdam, with the chariot which crowned the Brandenbnurg gate at Berlin, have been difetnbark ed at the Q2ay of St. Nicholas.

The five thoufand 1 men in Etruria have commenced their march fpr &Tilburg, where they will j• in the forces coming from Spain. The united army will go to Mentz,and thence, it is faid, occupy Hanover, in order that the Spaniards may have a compenfation to offer to the Englilts. The capture of Montle Video has not caufed much fenfaticn, owing to the hope generally entertained that that important place will be retaken, like Buenos Ayres. The public funds have not been affected by the news. - It appears that there is fume difratisfaition with Portugal, who has Allied the Engli(h too much.— Our Gazette complains of the conduit of the Gover• nor of the Brazils.

The Ruffians have fucceeded in taking the Mind of Tenedos by form : we received this intelligence on the 4th. The Ciptain Pacha has failed to the Dardanelles, with flatten fail of the line, and a great number of troops, to retake it. The enemy's force confins of four Ruffian and four Englilla (hips of war.

GERMAN EYI.AIJ, APRII, 29. This day we heard the firing on Dantzic very dif- tinflly. It is impoffible the place can hold out long The Emperor has removed his refidence nearer to that city to expedite the fiege, but the head quarter s fill remain at . Finckenftein. The army alfo Rill re tains the fame pofition on that tide. Martha's Ber nadotte and Soult are on each fide of the Lower Pat large. Marfhals Ney and Davoult are upon the Alle, and the Foliar troops ferve as the connefting medium between Marthals Davouft and Maffena. The latter remains upon the Macy,. The Ruffians have long talked of giving us battle, which is highly neeetTary for them, to relieve Gran. deniz and Dantzic. Still, however, they content themfelves with feints and preparations. In a few days probably, they will have the mortification of finding they have loft their time, as the fall of Dantzic will add the force now before that place to the Grand Army. Thus the fituation of the Fre;:ch is highly advantageous for them ; on the other hand we can not account for the irrefolution of the R111113n4. Ge. neral Bennigfen has been at his head qtlarters at Bartentlein for this month pall. Hi. t• oohs firm a line from Koningtherg through Helfburg, 13 4irenheim and Ortellburg.

Though the winter has been uncommonly mild, la( week the fnow lay three feet deep. It is only finee yeßerday that we have begun to feel the approach of fpring. It is repotted that the Emperor Alexander was ex. paled from Memel, at General Bennigfen's head q u a rters, accompanied by the King of Prutna.—: However, it is certain he had not arrived there on the ststh.

MUNICH, MAY 6.—An official report has arrived from our 1- ,ty, and has been made public. It con• tains the — . lowing intelligence : An even • s corps of confiderable force, formed of difperfed Pruffiso foltit who had been collefted, and the inhabitants of that pa• t • f Upper Silefia, which is not yet in the poffeffion of the troop of the Confederacy, affembled near Glatz, with the view of railing t• e fleece of Nellie and Rorel In order to defeat this enterprife in its commencement, Gen.Lefebvre advanced with the 6th Bavarian regiment of the line, a divifion of Minnuci's dragoon', a battery of bode and artillery, two field pieces, &c. and took a pbfition near Glatz. On the 13th the garri'on of Glatz made a Conic, with sOOO men, but the Bavarian andWirtemberg infantry behaved with fuch courage, that they maintained their pofition, and drove hack the enemy. This affair, however, made them ac • quainted with our weaknefs, and they formed a well concerted plan agait,ll us. In the night of the 16th, a forth was made with 2400 infantry, fame cavalry, and four pieces of cannon. There troops took a circuitous road round our left flank, and polled themfelvea in ambuth in our rear. Another detachment was fent by a circuitous rout to Watch, and a third on the fame night pro ceeded from Silberberg towards Frankennein. At day-break on the tyth, another column, confining of shoo infantry, and 300 cavalry, with one piece of cannon, advanced from Glatz, againft the left of our pofition. When this column was oblerved begin ning to deploy, it was ruppored to be the only one oppored to us; but the adlion had fcarccly commenced, when the enemy's prin cipal corps which was in ambuth, appeared, and fell upon our right wing. The Wirtemberg battalion now found itrelf attacked by a much ruperior force. Colonel Becker., however, advanced to the attack with the 6th Bavarian regiment of the line, and re pulled the enemy, which gave the Wirtemberg corps the oppor tunity of falling upon the enemy's flank, and taking a how itzer. At this time an enemy's battalion appeared upon our rear, which Colonel Beckers defeated at the head of the 6th Bavarian infantry. On the left the enemy were alt o forced to retreat by the (mond battalion of the fame regimen t, com manded be Count Speretti. The enemy loft about 2CO in killed and 'mended, 3so foldiers, and gt officers were made prifoners, and eighty have defined. We have alto taken a howitzer end I three pieces of cannon of finall calibre. On our part we loft three kill e d, t hi r t e en wounded, and two prifoners. Count Beelia ; was (truck by a musket ball in the brag, but its force was fpent, and it did not penetrate, and be Bill retains his coMmand. During the adlion, Major Von Boroklau was attacked at Franhestlele, and Captain Von Zoller at Wartha ; but the plan of the enemy to obtain poffefrum of there two places, was completely fronnted by the bravery of the ift battalion of the 6th. Had the enemy taken there two points in our rear, the confederate troops would have been obliged to abandon their politician, and the retreat would have been vary difficult. On the following day, the aft regimen; of Bavarianlnfantry and the Royal Light Cavalry arrived near Glare. Two companies and a squadron were then detached under the command of Major Vass Floret, In purfulsof the (tattered platoons of the enemy. • .5 • . • NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE. PENZANCE, MAY 12.
