" Accounts received yeficrday from Dantzic Rate, that though it is more Rrongly bombarded than ever, and though 170 houfes have been deßroyed, it has yet a profpeft of holding out, as fuccours were hourly expelled to be thrown into it. The Captain of a fhip, who arrived at Elfineur the day before yefterday, from Memel, repurts, that the French troops in Poland were reduced to fuch a want of provifions as to be obliged to eat their horfes ; he alfo, but it is fared, without foundation, reports, that roo,ooo Aufirians are on their march to join the Allies. General Armfeltft, who, by advancing too far in the late action with the French, occalioned the Miler able armiflice that followed, has received permiffion, or rather been obliged to retign, He is efieemed the bell General the Swedes have.

"General Armfelt, who ha, obtained his Majelly's moil gracious permiffion to refign the command he has held thefe three years, recommends himfelf to the love and friendffiip of all the officers ; full of gratitude for the zeal they have difplayed in hi, Ma jetty's fervice, and the undaunted fpirit which have marked their conduit on all occafions. It is with deep concern General Armfelt has to regret that they have not reaped any other benefit from their exer tions, than the honour of having maintained, as men and Swedes, the ancient military glory of our nation. The circumilances which compel General Armlet( to retire from warlike operations, do not draw his heart from the beloved afro'ciates of his military toils, nor prevent him from taking, at all times, the moll lively concern in the prolperity, fuccefs, and glory of the Sweolith army."

PROJECTED DUEL.—On Saturday morning a for tunate flop was put to a duel, by two Bow flreet Of ficers, near to Chalk Farm. At half pall feven o'clock, a poll chaife arrived with three Gentlemen, and (hortly after two Gentlemen on foot, whole gig had broken down on their way from town; they join ed the patty that came in the chaife, and ordered lrzakfall; at eight o'clock two other Gentlemen ar rived in a gig, one of whom had an immediate con-' ference with one of thnfe who were taking hreakfant. On their ordering a private room, a fufpicion was en tertained of a projeaed duel, and the fon of the mall ter who keeps the tavern immediately fit off on hot feback for a Bow tlreet Officer, who lives about a mile from them. The wetnefs of the morning caufed a delay for about half an hour, when the two Gentlemen who arrived at eight o'clock, Major GRAY, oc the 3oth regiment of foot ; THOMAS Dumcam, of Gra) 's inn-ft:pare ; Luke STRITCH, Duke-ftreet, St. James's ; and Jour/ JONES, of the Grand Hotel, and Brynhir, Carnarvanihire, departed from the houfe, and were in the at of taking their ground when the Bow flreet Officers arrived. Moj-rr G. and Mr. S. were taken into cuflody with the piftols in their hands, and the four Gentlemen were conveyed to Bow-ftreet, and bound under heavy penalties to keep the peace for twelve months. FIRE.—On Saturday morning, at feven o'clock, a fire broke out in the Itili•houfe of Mellrs. Swarms and MINETT, diflillers, at Holborn-bridge. It ap pears to have arifen from the am having been over boiled; the head flew off; and the fire by Come means caught a veffel of fpirits, containing about 140 gal lons, which friddenly exploded. The Raves were blown through the roof, which was completely that •ered, fortunately avoiding the backs, in which were large quantities of fpir its. If the contrary had been the cafe, there is no calculating on the probable da mage. Three perfons were materially hurt; the diltiller was feverely burnt and fcalded; two others were much cut by the falling of the Raves in the fiery Rate they were in, and one of them will, in all probability, lore his lett leg. The engines, aided by the fforts of the Volunte r Corps; confined the da e o 801. The expli lion was fo great, that all th wind° WC, Corn the Swan-yard to the end of Field la e, were filivered. Thurfday a fire brc ke out at the Manufactory of Mr. JOHNS, fitnate at the Wen end of George.fireet, in Plymouth. It was occalioned by the boiling over of a pitch pot, and fn ta,,id was the conflagration, that in a few minutes the whole was burnt to the ground. A combination has broken out amongil the Jour neymen Paper Makers in Scotland, for an advance of wages, in confequencc of which nearly all the mills in that part of the kingdota are at a (land. It appears, that about a year ago, they got an advance of 2s. per week, and now they refufe to work without a farther advance of 35. per week. A pocket book, containing banknotes to the amount of 301. was found at Eall bourne laft week by two foldierr., who immediately fought out and delivered it to the owner. The two honeft fellows received a reward of one guinea each. On Friday the waggoner who was affaulted in Holborn on Monday night, attended at Bow-flreet, and his examination taken ; but he declared his ina bility to (wear to either of the defperadoes. Five men wete apprehended by the officers in the courfe of the week, on fufpcion of being the perpetrators of the horrid outrage upon Mr. Watkinfon and the watchman.
