The different diflocations and marches and coun termarches of the French troops, have induced a be- lie f that frefh troops have arrived ; but in the whole circle from Guttfladt to Oflerode, Eylau, Liebmuhle, Holland, and Liebfladt, with the exception of 400 Italians, who have entered Guttiladt, and a Regi ment from the corps of Marthal Mortier which have joined the corps of Soult at Eldit, no one knows any th►ng of any frefh arrival of troops. Three thoufand confcripts, it is faid, are on their march, but they have not yet arrived. BANKS OF THE VISTULA, APRIL a 6. Of the numerous confcripts expeeled to join the French army, only between 3 and 4000 have as yet arrived, which have been diftributed among the dif ferent regiments. The greater part of them are little other than boys, and they all exprefs the greateft fatisfatlion at the war. Of the other reinforcements nobody knows any thing, though the greateil pains are taken to keep up the fpirits of the troops, by con tinual report that their arrival may be expeaed im mediately. BRAUNSBERG, APRIL 28. On the 25th inflant all the troops of the enemy re ceived orders to hold therafelves in readioefs to make a general advance, early in the morning of the 27th, but at noon thefe orders were countermanded. Every thing continues quiet, and probably will continue fo. VIENNA, MAY 3. The Emperor and Archduke Charles are not ex peEted back from Hungary until a few days hence. Mr. Adair, the Englifh Minifler, has been recalled, but will probably remain here until his facceffor than have arrived. MUNICH, MAY 14. Oar Court went this day into mourning until the 270 intl. on account of the death of the late Emprefs of Auftria. It was on the r7th of !aft month that the Außrian Expedition, which was deftined for Cattaro, arrived at Trial. One battalion of the regiment of foot of Sr. Julien, marched a few days after to Gratz. The Moniieur of the 25th of May, contains a letter from Philadelphia, refpeeting Colonel Burr, but no intelligence from the armies. KONIGSBERG, MAY 7. The navigation of the Frifche Haff remains as yet immolated by the enemy. Several attempts have bten made to convey troops and provifiins to the , Nebrung, but fruftrated by our armed Blips, which are now fixteen in number. Some of thefe (hips are cruizing along the beach of the Haff and Nebrung, and the ref in the Haff itfelf. The enemy alto applies himfelf to arm (hips both at Elbing and Frauenburg; but meafureb have already been taken to prevent them from doing us any injury. According to accounts from the Vial)la, the for -trefs of Graudentz was vigoronfly bombarded and affailesl on the 7th and Bth of April, but the enemy was repulfed with very confiderable lots, eflimated at 6 or 7000 men in killed, wounded, and prifoners. The liege of that fortrefs has been fence converted into a feeble blockade, and the enemy's advanced polls Rand on the Banks of the Offa. The town of Graudentz is alfo no longer in the poffellion of the enemy, but occupied by our troops.— (Koniglierg Gazette.) FROM [HE RONINGSBERG GAZETTE, MAY y. Wchlan, May 4. 41 For fome time defertion from the French army to ours has been much more frequent than ufual.— Among the deferters are in particular a great num• ber of confcripts. All there concur in afferting that the French troops are very diffatisfied, and begin to with earneftly for peace, that they may return home." BERLIN, MAY ar. The following obfervations are reported to have been made at Marienwerder, by the Emperor of the French, to the Prnffian Prefident Schleinitz—•" that Pruffia had thrown herfelf under the dominion of Ruffia, and that Raja was under the controul of England—that by j lining France, Pr lAA would have diaated laws to GI eat Britain, and delivered Europe from the latter's tyrannical Tway upon the fear—that P'.v alliance with Kuala rendered peace much more difficult= that the King of Pruffia had only two ways left to return to Berlin ; one in the company of the French Emperor and his Guards; the other by the alTifian-e of the Ruffians—that this could only be ef idled -after the French had loft one battle on the . other fide of the Viliula, three between the Viftula and Oder, and three between the Oder and Elbe; and after they had moreover retreated to France and were no longer able to obtain any reinforcements— that the Pruflians fliould be aware of the dangers to which their country would be expofed if the Ruffians &raid make fuck a progrefs, and if the principle that nati.in, are made for kings, and nor kings for osiions, ihoold gain the afcendancy in the Pruffian Cabinet,” Mar 23..(F111074 THE TELEGRAPH.) " Authentic ace unts from the Grand Army re prefent the afli n on the isth, near Weichlelmunde, as very important. " The Ruffian Lieut. General Kaminfly wifhed to relieve Dantaic, reduced to extremity by the progrefs made by the befiegers. under the command of Mar• that Lelebvre. With this view, General Kaminfley, on the t ith of May, came with two divifions toWei. chfelinunde. On the r . ith, at four in the morning, he advanced from Werchfelmunde, with three co lumns and a referve. Four Ruffian Generals com manded under him. As loon as the Ruffian corps was without cannon•bot diftance of the fort, it at. tacked the French and Saxon troops, which, accord ing to the orders of Mnifkal lofebvre t were placcd in I eadincii. ge The anion continued two hours. Marthal Laf nes advanced with four battalions of the divilion Ondinot on the right wing of the enemy, over the All the enemy's lines were now defeated, and forced to fly. The Ruffians were purfued (word in hand, to the palifadoes of the fort. " The Emperor expreffed his faticfaaion with the zd and Lath regiments of light infantry, with the Saxon detachment, with General Oudinot. and the four battalions which attacked with him, under the command of Mat (ha Lathes." LOWER ELBE, MAY a 6. By a Courier Extraordinary, which arrived this morning, we received advice that the city of Dant zic continued to hold out on the 17th. Many of the houfes in the city, but very few of the defences of the place, had fuffered horn the bombardment. The befiegers and befieged proceeded with the greateff caution. Great apprehenfion was occafioned in the city by. the French having got poffeffion of one of the holms in the Viiiula, on which they were treeing batteries. ft was fuppofed a general fortie would be made for the recovery of this holm. It was known in the city, on the 13th, that t t,OOO Ruffians had landed on the Nehrung, but the French had alfo received confiderable reinforcements on that fide. — Count Kalkreuth having, in a proclamation to the inhabitants, expreffed his regret for the hardfhips which they were fuffering, a Deputation of the Burghers waited upon him, with an addrefs of thanks, and intreated that he would defend the place to the lati extremity. By accounts received from Cuxhaven, it appears that a rencontre has taken place between the Englifh and Dutch. It is not poffible to come at the truth. Some accounts fay that the Englith landed a fmall party, who retired on feting the Dutch ; others, however, fay that the Englifh being laned, the Dutch pretended they would defert, and having thus thrown the Englifh off their guard, attacked them unawares, killed 60, and burnt their boat. _ , Reports have been circulated there two days of a great•battle, but as it thould feem without any good foundation. The communication with Swedifh Po merania being wholly broken off, we brie no authen tic news from thence. ELSIWEUR, MAY 23. • It is firongly reported here that the French have railed the liege of Dant zit, and drawn off their troops to join the grand army. There feems reafon to be lieve that this report is well founded. A fhort time will thew whether this event will halters the grand battle which is expeEted. and the refult of which mull be fo interetting to all Europe. COPENHAGEN, MAY 29. The PrufGan Major Generals Count Tauenzien, and M. de Zaftrow. - have been advanced to the rank of Lieutenant Generals ; and the latter is to ferve under General . Blucher, who has been reward ed with the Order of the Black. Eagle. He has been molt gracioufly received by his Sovereign. At his fiat interview, the King Paid to him--1 , I (hall never forget your Cervices," and afterwards prefented him to the Emperor Alexander, who received him with the fame marked diftimilion. _ ..._ __ According to letters from Koniglberg, dated the sth 1011. General L'Ellocq has likewife been reward ed with the Order of the Black Eagle. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. TUESDAY, JUNE a. PRICE OF STOCKS rHis DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK: Confoli, for money, 63164 —for July 640—Ontnium Exchequer Bills, 2s. 4s. pr. Lafl night we received Come more Paris Journals, to the date of the 27th ult. but their contents are no way interefting. The Captain of a Norway veffel which left PiDan on the 13th Rates, that the Pruffians had been worfted in feveral engagements on the Neht ung, and that the French. by means of Pruilian veffels, which they have taken, had obtained pacific - I of Pillau. In the preceding columns we have given Tome far ther extradts from journals and private letters re ceived by the Gottenburgh Mail. The Dutch papers contain an article, dated Vienna, May 13, which fags—" The Court of Vienna is, in particular, difplcafed with Lords HAWK RIMY and CASTLEREAGH, who are now in authority, to whom the publication of the notes and conferences exchan ged and held before the late war, is abfcribed."— Other articles, dated from Vienna, have appeared in the London papers, (lacing, that the change of Mini- Dry has given great fatisfaCtion to the Au(Wan Ca binet. The one we believe to be of French, the other of Engin manufacture ; and that neithei the one nor the other have yet teen Vienna. The private accounts are very contradieory refpec• tiug Dautzic, which now occupies much of the public attention. Some of thefe accounts (late that the movements carried on, on the one hand to relieve Dantzic, and on the other to force it to furrender, had brought on a general engagement along the whole line of the two armies. This fad is affected to have reached Hamburgh before the !ail accounts came away, but the refult of the battle was not known. The fall is not improbable. Perhaps th Ruffians, feeing no other chance of Caving Dantzick, have chofen to rick a battle in the attempt to relieve it. Indeed, it is generally thought, that ere this time a battle has been fought. It was allo reported latl night that the French had railed the liege of Dantzic, in order to be prepared for a general engagement. That report, however, which comes by the Gnttenburgh Mail, is not of fo late a date as the intelligence from Hufnm. The American Papers Rate, that accounts had been received there from Jamaica, which mentioned that that Wand was blockaded by eight French fri gates. If fuels were the fae, we mould probably, before this, ha•e received account. through a more dits4 clmand, THE ARMY• Lord I-1c rc n v tom is recalled from his ''kuation i with the Allied Armies upon the Continent. His Lordthie is to be fOcceeded by Mr. JOHN HOONIIAM Fatal( !
