For this week pail, very confilerable mnvement S have been ohferved among the French troops, and it .is in particular remarked, that their centre is greatly reinforced. The neighbourhood of Willenberg is covered with fcldiers. Frefh French troops arrive here daily from the interior of Germany, where they are repl Iced by others from France. A convoy of heavy artillery arrived here two days 'ago from Silefia, and praceeded immediately to Dantzic and Graudentz. The befieging artillery employed before the latter of thefe places, was on the 4th removed to the corps whit 1 befieges Dantzic. The Prullian gar !iron in Dantzic has made forties. with the view of driving back cr haraffing the Pul , fh troops which in vat that town. That which took place on the 26th of March appears to have been the moll ferinus.— We can judge of it, however, only-from the following letters which we infect, in expeaation of the official report of this affair, which does the greatefl honour to the Polith troops.

(Signed) I.IIIIER General of Divifion, and Governor of Pomerania." BERLIN, APRIL is. _ We are affured, that tome days before the death of the Emprefs of Auftria, Count Stadion, the Minitier of Foreign Affairs, delivered a circular note to the accredited Envoys of the Belligerent Powers, in wh . ch he made an offer of the mediation of his So vereign, and invited them to a Congtefc, to be holden at ary place within the circuitof the Auarian territory. The Teigrath obferves, that the interefls of the dif ferent States, though at prefent more complicated than ever, Hill allow fume hopes of peace. It is in the qature ci things that confution thould ultimately proace order. Ruffia, whnfe armies have been dritien faun the Valuta to the Preget, and are only proteEled by the thaw and the impaffable nature of the ground, cannot but perceive that the will hazard every thing, thuuld fhe wait till the is driven from that pofition, in confequence of the extraordinary re inforcements which have been drawn from France.

Tile (lagnation of commerce in this city, which was once to flourifhing, is mifcarrying, all honks of trade difnas molt of their clerks. There are, indeed, a great number of thips in the canal of San Marro, but they are all Venetian bottoms, which can neither i enter nor leave this port. As to foreign veffels we have not feen any for this long time pall. The Eng lifh and Ruffians are clofely blockading our port, and we have no communication with the Continent but by the &allows. No adlivity prevails here in any other place but the dock-yards, where they are working day and night to fit out a numerous flect.—L'Akille du Nord, April 28. TRIESTE, APRIL S. We have fill in our road Ruffian and Englilh f. igates, as well as cutters, which greatly annoy the navigation of neutrals, and do much mifchief to our traders. As late as yellerday a notice was polled up at the exchange, that the Englifla had [topped four of our merchantmen, which came from the Levant, and fent them to Cattaro. A proof of the lois wi fuftain, in cOnfegnence of the blockade is this, that our claims on Rullia, the juflice of which is acknow ledged, kmbunt to two millions of florins, and thole op England to a furs fir more confiderahle. moll urgent remonflrances arc made at Vienna on this head. - ~ SWEDEN.

There are divifions of feveral thoufand men fre quently paling the Rhine from Mentz—they remain for further orders near Frankfort. In fait, there is a rumour that an army of referve will be formed in this quarter. The Dardanelles will (non he put in a moft formi dable Rate of defence by French engineers.

The military route Rill continues through this Elec- torate, viz. from Carel through Dranifeld, Nord beim, &c. to the Grand Army. PROM THE BORDERS OF THE ELBE, APRIL 27. The liege of Colberg, raed by the giverfion made by the Swedes from Stralfund, is now punted with greater vigour than before. The Ruffian courier, who has brought feveral tails to Memel, taken from the Wonsan troops. Pays the Talks loft 4000 men in the left battle when there til phies were taken; and that the Ruffians were within 40 miles of Conftantinople. HAMBURGH, APRIL 28. This day or to morrow we •expel Marfhal Brune to arrive here from Ratzebur•g ; and 8000 Dutch troops are on their way hither from Pomerania. The French, un6ertatn of their fuccefs, have pendently thrown two bridges over the river Elbe near Amen burg. Their fear of a Britifh expedition is unabated, and as great as ever ; and, in fact, there never was a more favourable opportunity for a Britith force ap i.pearing on the Continent, than the prefent one, which, if not profited by, will perhaps never offer again. There is no news from Conftantinople, vioVienna, but it is certain that the Ruffians are completely mac• tens of the greateft part of the Turkifh provinces in Europe, and only need a march of 45 leagues to reach the capital of the Ottomans. The French are Reeling away all the artillery be- longing to the poor city of Hamburgh : they have alfo fetched away ten waggon loads of cannon balls. Intelligence of a great and decifive battle in Pruffia is expeOed here every hour; the greateft preparations it is underftood, are making for it, and the forces which will meet in this terrible conflia will, it is Paid amount to net much lets than 600,000 men. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. FRIDAY, MAY E. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK Confols, for money, 631f —May 63}—Osmium 1 pr. Exchequer Bills, par. Laft night arrived a Mail from Hufum, by which we have received Harnburgh Papers to the 28th tat. D►►tch to the 4th intl. and other journals. The Dutch papers are fluent refpefting any event timilar to that reported two days ago, in a letter from an Officer on board the AGINCOURT, nor do the Ham burgh papers contain the lead information refpefiing the armies on the Vitlula. All the foreign journals talk of negociations for Peace, but there appears to be no other foundation for thefe rumours but the with which the French have to account for their prefent inaftivity v and the influence they pads over the prefs of the Continent. The military operations in Melia have affumed a greater degree of activity than has been the cafe for the three preceding months. There are reports of the Tusks having fullained a defeat on the Danube. We hope the next accounts from the Continent will confirm this intelligence. A Gentleman who left Hamburgh on the sd inft. informs us that Tome of the French troops had re turned to that place, and that the King of Sweden had refilled to ratify the armiftice concluded by Gene ral Von Es“g on the 26th ult. No new event had taken place a; hp armies. It appeargky the.letters and papers brought by the laa(l)Qn mails, that the Court of Madrid has ex preffe4 a•firong difcontent with the Regency of Por tugal; licettfing the latter with having affilled the Btilifit'fqOarfron in -the Plata, With provifions, and even military' ftores: . The Madrid Gazette contains a kind of . Manififiz sgainft this breach of Neu tiality, as it terms it.—The article itfelf is very curious, but too long for prefent infertion. The following extra& may anfwer as a fpecimen" How is it pollible that the Englifh could ever fucceed in a land attempt without fuch external aid ?—Were the Engli(h ever known to fucceed in a iand conq'ieft? —The Engin arc a race of Iflanders—Water Rau : remove them from their element, and they are no thing.—Their fuperior courage, as it is called, is nothing but their fuperior dexterity; they know how to work their (hips, and are brave only in the confi dence of their greater chance of fafety. Let the Englith meet the Caflillians by land, and they will learn the difference between a Nation of Pedlars, and an Army of Cavaliers —We challenge them to come. —gut they are a prudent people, and know better than to rifque their flake at a fair game.—They will keep on and off Cadiz— they will block up our ports, they will burn our fhips—.bat they will never lands" • ItiterTlCAL 11 TEGI.LICENCE: CORK, APRIL 29.
