F.'reign Journals one day !Ater than thole an anunced yelicrday, came to haad tan night; and this morning three Hufum Mails arrived. The accounts from Conliantinople ate Rill contra dieory. One account copied from the Moniteur of the loth Intl. deferves particular notice. It is pro bably the fuhilance of Come official difpatch, and, thnugh we may fuppofe it to have received a little colouring to fit it for the infpeaion of the French people, contains the moll precife details that have yet reached us. It appears that the paffage of the Dardanelles was forced on the 19th of February. The tirength of the Britilb fquadron previous to the attempt, is computed at eighteen (hips of war, of different kinds, of which no more than ten, (fix fail of the line, three frigates, and a brig), came to anchor before Conflantinople on the evening of the following day. Two (hips of the line were left between the cattles of the Darda nelles and Gallipoli, and one, the Ai Av, took fife and was burnt, while the fquadron lay off Tenedos. The Turkifh fquadron, Rationed for the defence of the paffage, which was burnt, confined of one (hip of 74 guns, five large frigates and a brig. The latter, the only vettel that cfcaped, was the fit ft to announce to the allonithed Government and inhabitants of Con- Rantinople the approach of the Britifh fquadron. On the morning of the s tit the negotiation was opened, Mr. AILBUTHNOT having removed from the flag (hip to a frigate fur the purpofe of carrying it on. The terms on which he is Paid to have infißed were, That the French Ambaffador fhould be Cent away ; that fifteen fail of the line, anJ as many frigates, limed for fix months,. (hould be delivered up to us ; that we (mould be put in potreffion of the forts in the Dardanelles and on the Canal of the Black Sea; that the treaty of alliance with England Amid be renewed; that ample fatisfaaion Mould be given to Ruffia for the injuries the had received ; and, finally, that Rollie fhould remain in poffelion of the provinces of Mol davia and Wallachia, and the frontier towns, until a genera peace. Theft terms were, it is laid, rejeaed by the Porte; but the negotiation had not broken off on the 36th of February. Some of the minor journals Rate that the Brit& Rest re-patted the Dardanelles on the sth of March. It is difficult, however, to conceive that any thing &art of compliance (hould have induced them to withdraw from Conßantinople, the place being fa completely at their mercy, that they could eafily &atop it if their terms were rejefted. The Turks had nine fail of the line, of which two wete fittt rates, betides feveral frigates, and were, it - is Paid, determined upon attacking our fquadron. We entertain little apprehenfion refpcaing the tefolt of fuch a contal. Boxeraars, it appears, was early a*are of the poffibility of forcing the paffage of the Dardanelles, and endeavoured to prevail on the Porte to be allow ed to defend it. The offer was rejcaed ; and inked of moo artillerymen and the French artily in Dal matia, the Porte, with its habitual jealoufy, confent ed to receive only four engineers, and the fame num ber of artillery officers. By the Packets which brought there mails, a mef fenger arrived with difpatches from St. Peteriburgh A Swedifh malinger has alfo arrived by the fame conveyance, with difpatches from his Court, for the Swedillt Ambaflador here, containing the pleating intelligence, that At French have railed the fere of Strayind, ad evacuated Swedflh Pomerania. The par ticulars are detailed in the following SWEDISH OFFICIAL BULLETIN. " MALMO. Aram I.—According to a report made to his Royal Majelty, by Baron Von Efren, Governor-General, his Excellency intended that day to reconnoitre the enemy's pofition with a great part of the garrifon, in order to arcertain the enemy's views; who, according to all accounts received, fumed on the point of with drawing from this country. " A Courier who arrived here in the night, Dates, tbu in the mottling of the aft of Aprif, he raw the troops march out of the fume% supported by fix gun boats. and heard a cannonade and mvlgetry fire again!! the French entrenchments. The Courier was detained by contrary winds at the port-hook in *Wow, in the IDe of Rugen, till yettaday morning. The ssh of April a written order was received by the I'oftmaftcr of that place. duel , OD the 4th at live o'clock in the evening, to keep a packet us readia tiers for Lieutenant Colonel Baron Bak, AiA.de camp to his Ex celleucy, who was the bearer of an important report from the Governor General to his Majeftp. " The above orden were cLted head-quarter. at Demin, the 3tl of April, and figned by the Aid dc camp, Lieutenant Colonel MILD. It thereby appears, that the French corps which formed the Sege of Stralfund, has not only been compelled to raife the fiege of that fortrers, but alio to evacuate SWetitit Pomerania, of which important event Lieutenant Cutout! Baron Belje will bring a full mad minute account. " Baron Hunerhcin. Major and Ald de•eamp of the King of Praha, vat° was (cat on a (pedal atifEoti to his Royal Majeny arrived here yelterday at soon." " EXTRACT OT • LETT'S. PROM GOTTINSURGH, Aram to :—A Convict arrived this Morning from Malmo, with the important intelligence that the , French have entirely evacuated Swedith Pomerania: they began their retreat on the eft intlant, and con tinued it until the 4th, dining which time the Swedes putfued and haraffed them much, aad made above moo painters, amongti which are 20 Officers; they fuEowed them iu two columns, the one going to Anciam, the other to Devnutin. A great quantity of Antes, baggage, &e. bare fallen into the bands of the Swedes, as well as a cnnfiderable funs of money." 44 Lowsa &se, Aram 7.--The moil important . intelligence at prefent in circulation relates to Swe den, and the relief of Stralfund. After two unlac ed:Sul efforts on the 3t ft ult. and on the ill inllant, the Swedes focceeded in routing the French and Hol landers polled before Stralfund. The force of the latter did not exceed 6 or 7oco men ; they were compelled to retreat. The Swedes, according to the latelt acccunts, have advanced to Roflock, De mars, and Guilrow. The French head quarters are at Parchim, in Mecklenburg. 44 The new coloors intended for the Dutch troops in Pomerania have been fent back again. A general alarm prevails at Schwerin. A number of fugitives have arrived at Hamburg's from Mecklenburg. la Some letters fay the Swedes are 16,000 thong ; that great numbers of the Dutch defert ; and that the Fiends army had dwindled away to 5 or 6000 men. " On Sunday Marital Brune •ery unexpeCtedly reviewed all the military at Hambnrgh, and yetterday he fet off. according to public report, for Bremen. but it is fuppofed he has taken a very different route." "APRIL 9.-[t is reported that a &cog eaononade . was heard at Franckfort on the Oder, o'n the In of Ape il." Bsa 'Ay, A rut. 7. —Yeßerday arrived here in 41 waggons. a thong depot of the Paris guard. whiCh again fet out for the grand army : they made the journey in 17 days. 66 The news brought from Pofen affords ns the greatell hopes of a fpeedy peace." 66 ST. PITERSIVAGH, MARCH 6.—lt is fail that after the return of M. Novozilzaff, who has been fent to his Pt tilliAn M.ijelly at Memel, the Emperor will 'fet out to join the army." In the Paragon tranfport, which brought home Sir DAVID BAIRD from the Cape, there came alto the two flank companies of the ad Foot, or 14.teen's Re. giment, and invalids of regiments at the Cape. In addition to the lift of regiments which, in SA. tutday's STAR, we exclufively announced as intended fir the C ,, ntinent, we have now to add, that, proba bly. thete will join this force— Toe rub, 13th, and 16th Light Dragoons, The 6th, 13th, and 26th, or Catnaonians, The 4 3 , 1, pd. and 241 battalions of infantry. It is reported, that Colonel CRAVFURD was not to CAB at LA Plata, but had orders to proceed direAly for Lima; if this report is true, reinforcements can. not. ton loon, be fent out to our gallant little army at Monte Video. General WritvaLocx carried no force vr.ith•him except the 89th, his own regiment; . and. very unfortunately, the Malabar tranfport, with soo of them, the colours and fiaff. has put back.— The Malabar wilt fail with the fleet to the Cape. It is not unlikely now that, of the force already embarked at Portfinouth, for various deftinations, a part may be fent off to South America. Lieutenant Colonel !kolas a too, whn fell at Monte Video, was Deputy Quarter.Mafter-General to the Army. and brother of G e neral B an wmGo. A letter from Palermo, dated Feb. 28, Pays, that " Mr. Day II MOND arrived there on the above men tioned day from Meffina, where he had been fuper intending the embarkation of troops, amounting to about. 10,000 Their deffination is laid to be E gypt, . but it fbould appear, from the great proportion of cavalry, that a debarkation will take place at ,no great diflance." Extra& of a Letter from Meffina, dated March 6: " An Expedition from hence is now under weigh, but its deltination is kept profoundly fecret. It is the general opinion, however, that the debarkation will be in Egypt. The regiments compofing it confill of the two battalions of the 35th, 3111 Chadeurs de Rolfes, 78th, another battalion of Infantry, three troops of Cavalry, and a proportionate body of Ar Tillery. The Generale FRASIR, Waocnoyr, and SrawART, and Colonel AIRM as Deputy Adjutant General, with others of the Staff, are this moment embarking." Letterv, we are lorry to fay, have been received in town from Maldonado, Rating the death of Captain Faaricts Roemer.L, of the 54th regiment. This fpi rited young Officer w.,s mortally w..unded on the night of the 4th of January, by a party of Spanifh Cavalry, while commanding a foraging detachment fomc miles from Maldonado. From an experience of his worth and talents, his death was fincerely lament. ed by the gaff ifon ; and his Info is the more to be re gretted, as by his engaging deportment, and his ac quaintance with the Spanifhlaaguage, he had gained himfelf general efleem.

Letters from Lubeck, &c. have for two days brought different reports, probably in Tome refpeas exaggerated. It was fated, that the Swedes having been reinforced. had made an attack with 16,0ct0 nun, on the troops before Stralfund, which the departure of Monier bad weakened, and totally defeated them. It was added., that the Swedes were advanced to Roff , ek, Wifinat. and even to Same:in. Letters from Lubeck, re ceived yelterday, hated that the Swedes were only 12 miles from that City. Onr Gazette of Ise night rays, however; that this is not true, it being Dutch, for whom quarters were berpoke in Schwerin, Rot lock, Etc. Yefterday, however the letters from Stral fund arrived direftly, they bring news, that the Swedes have altually dtiveaaway the befiegers, have taken filo° Flamers, feveral cannon, a quantity of baggage, and zoo tons of rice. A large number of Dutch. Come accounts fay 4000,laid down their arms. Letters from Rollock at the fame time, fay, the Swedes were only half an hour's march from that town. All that is uncertain, is how far the Swedes have penetrated !Ince their vi&ory, though many here believe, that they are aEtuallj at Schwerin. Wifmar, &c. it teems probable that their force is not Co great as in enable them to venture beyond the bounds of Swedifh Pomeiania. General Laval, the Commander at Mecklenburgh, is expeited today at Hamburgh. " LOWER ELBA., APRIL so. ga No farther news has been received of the opera tions in Pomerania. It is not even kcown with cer tainty whither the corps that befieged Stralfund is retired, but it is fuppofed to Stettin.

COPENHAGEN, APRIL 4. Letters from Memel, of the agth ult. bring nothing new from the Armies. The Cum come from Eng land, defigned for Ruffia. but (too by the Swedes, was 77,0001.

Y HAIKBURGH, APRIL. 7. 44 The French head quarters are dill at Ofierode, we cape& however, - loon to hear of a battle of im• portance. 66 It is Paid that a convention has been concluded between France and Ruffia. relative to an exchange of prifoners of war; and tome perfons think this may prove the fore runner of a peace. 64 A Merchant has :Ind informed me, that he has certain intelligence, that 9000 Ruffians have landed at Colberg. A report has been fpread to-day, that the fiege is railed ; but this wants confirmation. ' 44 Lall night, very late, arrived M o fhal Baum', from Bremen, whither he went on Monday. Gen. LAVAL is alfo returned here from Mecklenburg. The Duke of Mecklenburg SCHWIRIII refides now at Altona, in the houfe of Mr. &aorta. His lons are alfo at Altona, which is now full of fugitive nobility. 46 In Hamburgh we have very few foldiers now ; (mall bodies arc continually coming and going.— Trade is duller than ever; the French require now certifrati d'origiost, on all goods whatever. This week a parcel of fugar, flsipt from Portugal lad autumn, and now arrived at Tonningen, after having been carried to England. has been kized, becaufe there was na certificate of its not being English produce. • VIENNA. MARCH s 9. 6•We have the following sews from Conflantinople of the 3d of March—On the 28th of February the Englith attempted to land on Prince's Ifland. but were . repulfed. Their lofs is dated at 400 killed and wounded, and 203 prifoners. The nextsday the fleet weighed anchor and failed to the Dardanelles. The armaments in Condantinople were continued with extreme rigour. The French and Spain' Miniflers forwarded all by their advice and ability. The Sul tan's Council was almod permanent. On the evening of the rd of March, when the Engliffi Minifler re • tired with the fleet, the negociations were broken off. "The Englith bad been waiting in vain for teinforce meets from Malta and the Black Sea. The number of Turks in arms, in and about Conflantiuople, amounted to too,ooo. The public tranquillity was not in the lead didurbed. The Sultah had not (hewn the (mailed intention of leaving Condantinople, as &Hely reported." M MUNICH, APRIL t. 44 We this moment receive the important news ofl the ill fuccefs of the Englifh before Conflantinople.-7 After fuffeting Come lofs, they found themfelves obliged to leave the Dardanelles. It is laid that Ge neral Seballiasi is aurae/001h the 'defence of the coall.

The ground round that fortrefs is very nudity. The garrifon had made, before the t 3th cf March, four Wiles, of which the lati was the croft ferious. Many Bavarian troops are gone to Poland." " NUREMBERG, APRIL si a In later accounts from Conftantinople, it is Paid, the Porte (hewed the greaten firmnefs on the ap pearance of the Englilt fleet ; and, it is added, that the demand of the Englith Minitler, that k 11s , uld change its fyllem, was totally rejedied. The defer!. five meafures were •igoroufy prnfecuted, and this had induced the Englith fleet to leave its nation be fore Conflantinople, without committing my farther bonnie". It had failed then to the Black Sea. " Gcnetal Berthier is arrived at the French Ants? of obfervatioa io Friend, which will probably fikat proceed to its deflination. The news that the Eng. have forced the Dardanelles hat excited a great fenfation at Venice. The approaches to that city are to be now 'better fortified and defended." We have alto received New York Papers to tts 43th ult. On the fubjee of the Treaty between this Country and America, it is Rated in an article from Wafh ington of the 4th of March, that no official copy of the Treaty had been received from the American Miniffer, but that Mr. Erfkine, the Bi iti(h Minifter, had favoured Mr. Jefferfon the Prefident with a copy. The Treaty wa. accompanied by a Note from our Court; Rating. that his MAJESTY' refereed to himfelf the privilege of refuting to ratify it, if the Americans did not take tome fpirited meafures, in concert with I Great Britain, to feria the operations of B(IN ATARI'S'S famous Decree of Blockade of the a tit November. This Note. it is laid, proved fo highly diffatisratory to the Prefident, that he at firft refolved to return the Treaty without laying it before the Senate. The Americans alto complain of the onsiffion of certain promifed Ripulations againft the impreffing of American (cameo. But the Editor of the United Sires Gazette, publifbed at Waffiington, adds, that it is likely that all the differences between the two countries will be yet accommodated, particularly when it was known in London that Bonaparte had departed from that pact of his decree. which refpated Americans, as (tilted in the STAR of yetierday. GIBRALTAR, mAtteit 3 0. II On the alith the packet from Sicily and Malta arrived here, after a palfage of fourteen days from the latter place. Lieutenant Novena, late Firlt Lieutenant of the Ajax, is a paffenger on board of her, un his way to England : he con fi rms the melan choly accounts of the lots of that fine !hip by fire on the t4th of February, when lying at anchor near the Dardanelles. About nine o'clock at night. the jbip was difcovered to be on fire in the wings, near the Surgeon's cabin, on breaking which down, the flames built ..ut with fuck violence, that it was found impoffible to approach the fpot. The Ajax was then lying to windward of the whole fleet, who were all obliged to cut their cables, to avoid her driving foul of them. All the boats were immediately fent to her aflinance, by whufe exertions Captain BLACK WOOD and upwards of 450 of the crew were Paved but the Captain of Marines, Surgeon, Purfer, Mailer, two Lieutenants. and feveral Mid(hipmen, with about two hundred Seamen, perifbed.
