The troll impor tant article of their contents relates to t:le New Go vernment which Bonaparte has impofed on Pruffian Poland. knead of the promifed relloratien of the ancient Monarchy, he has appointed a Direaory of Seven Members, under the title of the Government Corn m 'llion. The Fiufhing C ,, nrant lays, "The Emperor Napo leon is (fill at Warfaw, buried in arrangements for the early commencement of the campaign, when it is fuppofed he will lead upwards of three hundred thou (and men again(! the Ruffians, independent of the Poli(h legions, and the other troops of the concurered countries, which have joined the Imperial Standard:. In the mean time, hopes are entertained that the renewal of the war will be averted by the bleilings of peace." The inhabitants of Heffe are flilldifcontented under the iron fceptre of Bonaparte. No lets than 40,000 additional troops have been found necetfary to awe the icfurgents. Upwards of to,ooo French foldiers, employed in the Cullom Houfe duties, have quitted the countries cn the Rhine, to repair to Lower Saxony, for the purpofe of occupying the banks and Mouth of the Elbe, and extend a cordon along the frontiers of Holkin and the (bore of the Baltic, to prevent the introdudion of Englills merchandize into Germany. The ninth divifiin of the Grand Army, under Prince Jerome, has invellet: Kofel. The garrifun of Blieg Amounted to 1550 men. The feafon had, in the beginning of this month, continued fo uncommonly mild in Sweden, that fledges had not yet been retorted to. The Jivers and lakes were frpzen over, but the ice was not fuflicient ly ftrong to admit paffengers. Several thoufand =Ads were lately fent from the orfenal at Stockholm, for the ufe of the Ruffian ar• DENMARK MAILS. We have received two Denmark Mails, the one arrived yefierday, and the other this morning. By the former we learn that the Quango frigate, with the Ruffian fubfidy, and Mr. STRATTON, his Britan nic Majefly's Ambafrador to the Court of Sweden, reached Gnttenburg on the td inflant. It appears that BoNAPARTE is reinforcing his army in Poland from every quarter. It cannot be lets than zoo,ooo men. The extent of his preparations, while it demonftrates his generalfLip, is a clear proof that he expeets no filch eafy vi&ory as his vanity would with us to believe. By the Mail of this morning, we learn that the in habitants of Hamburgh are in the greated potlible diiirefs, in confequence of the protradled sifit of their French Mailers. But the moft important article of intelligence by there mails, if there was any hope of its being corral, is contained in the firll of the following PRIVATE LETTERS. a TONNINGEN, JAN. 27. His Excellency Count Alopeus, ambaffador from 4, Roffia, arrived on the 24th init. and embarked on 4 g board his Britannic Majeay's gun•brig STARLING, ~ accompanied by the Duchefs of Weimar and fuite. 44 The wind being now near north, they may proba -44 bly fail tomorrow. They bring welcome news " home, as the Ruffiatu have complete'y teat the French, •4 and there is reafon to klieve that no enemy is on the Po. 44 lifh fide of the Villula." ALTONA, JAN. 27. di The iron hand of Gallic defpotifm continues to bear fo heavy on the liberty of the profs, as well as that of (peaking publickly, and correfponding, that the journals of Northern Germany abfolutely contain nothing but what is in favour (.1 the French, or immediately inferted in the newfpapers, by corn. (nand of their agents. An inflance of this appears in the liumlursh Cerrtyporrikat of the 24th inflant, in a paragraph at the end of the parer, which makes a fulfome eulogium on General Michaud, late Mi litary Governor of the Hatle Towns, and a Hill more difgulling panegyric on Matfhal Brune, who file teeth him by the title of Governor General of the Hanfeatic cities. He entered on the exercife of his new funelions, on Sunday 'all, the 25th intl. when, con trary to all former precedent , , the fenatc were obliged to meet and, by his command, not c;nly at Hamburg, but 211) at Lubec, and Bremen, to prcclaim him in his new capacity. Every perfon that loves frrber and rational Ireedont in Hamburgh and the HanfeTowns, begins to entertain the moll ferious apprehenlions, it s r the death blow againa the liberties of thole cities Mould have been alrtaiy (truck. Brune begins al• ready to exercife his arbitrary power, and by a new mandate Wiled this morning in his own name, ail the merchants of Hamburgh will be oblig e d to give a • new fpecified declaration - to the commandants, of all Britifh property, their former declaration having been rtjefled by Brune, a. incomplete ani deficient. ,The weight and meafure of all goods, is alfo to be given in eight days, to reckon from this day. In this manner are the poor citizens of Hamburgh peered and opprefiA by their vile and unwelcome vifitors. Poverty and public mifery increare, and if the pie fent (late of things laths much lo:.ger, the major part of the merchants will be forced to emigrate, and Chafe inhabitants who do not perifh/dswant of bread, will be forced to enlitl for foldiers. 4, Private letters from Berlin (late, that the Empe• ror Napoleon is expefted there ftion ; and that thould he arrive, his flay will not be of long duration, as he intends to return for tome time to Paris. " JA N , 3o.—The neighbouring city of Hamburgh is funk to fuch a low degree of 11.1viat fubjettion, that all the rumours circulated on the authority of private letters are generally falfe—to publith the truth is death. The inhabitants, therefore, muff fubmit to their fate till better times arrive. " The number of French Gcns d'Ar mes, and Cut. torn Houfe Officers, and waiters in that city amount to near 300 men, who, exclufive of free quarters, are paid by the city one dollar per day. Martha' Blu.•.: fiems more fevere than Mortier himfelf. The vet ifi. cation of Britith property is to be made out anew in three days hence. Madame Mortier is, they fay, the avowed antagonift of Brune, the late Commandant and Governor of Hamburgh. Michaud is to be re. ftored to his former dignity by her influence. " In Hamburgh the gene d'armes exceed the police fo far, that any unguarded expreffion on the part of an innocent and ingenuous citizen, is punifhed with arreft, perhaps with death. Executions are privately conduEled. The miferies of that city exceed every power of defcription. It Hill is, at prefent, the only vehicle through which good intelligence can be con veyed, and all other parts of the Continent in the North are deptived of communications by poll." EXTRACTS FROM THE DENMARK MAILS OF THE 27TH AND 30TH JANUARY. GOTTENBURO, FEBRUARY z. This morning arrived the Oebec frigate, Lord Falkland Commander, with the fubildy for Ruflia, and with Mr. Stratton, his Britannic Majefly's Mi• airier to the Court of Sweden. CUSTRIN, JANUARY sr.

The latex accounts from Warfaw are of the 19th Nothing remarkable has occurred. A number of robberies have been noticed here for force time pail. Yefferday evening, for the firft time, feveral patroles were tent into different quar ters of the city, to apprehend thieves that might be pointed out by the Police, and fuck perfons as cannot give a good account of themfelves. A decree has been iffued by the Emperor Napo leon, dated Jan. 5, according to which the war con tribution impofed upon Heffe Caffel is to be paid out of the capitals due to the Eleaor from Come of the inhaLitanfs on account of loans, &c. WARSAW, JANUARY a. The French troops will now go, for fome time, into winter quarters, which have been alEgned at Praga for r2,cco men, and here for 15,000. From the 26th of December to this day no more aeti3n3 have taken place, except fome partial fkir macs with the Ruffian troops that remain behind, and the Tenths of which have only been a few pri foners. The badnefs of the roads makes the advance of the army iropofEble ; though there is a kind of road to the Bug, it is at prefent not to be diflinguifh. ed : to this is to be added thtt want of aloes for the foldiers. We expal here daily a column of 3,000 Ruffian prifoners, and another equally numerous will pats the Viilula at Zakrockzym. The number of allethe prifoners cannot at prefent be accurately given. General Kaminikui has fixed his head quarters at Grodno. JANUARY 15.

NOWOMIASTO, JAN. s. Martha' Augurean has had his head quarters here for Tome days. The ceffation which the retreat of the Ruffians has procured us affords us Come relpite from the continual fatigues we have futtained.— Provifions are not only fcarce on the banks of the Viftula, but even thefe are procured with difficulty ; we fee so white bread, nor is :he black very abun dant : the common price of a pound of beef is half a crown. STRZEGOEZYN, JAN. 2. The Emperor continued from the 28th December to the IQ January, at Puhulk, to reconnoitre from thence the pofition of the enemy. The Ruffians con tinue their retreat, in all hafte, by BiAyflock and Grodno.
