The day before 3 efterday arrived two packets from England, bringing fix mails for this place ;—and an Engli(h and a Ruffian Meffenger, who both fet off immediately for St. Peterfburgh. Accounts have reached us to-day, from various quarters, that the French army is retiring ; and that the head quarters will be very loon at Berlin. The fame accounts Rate, that the Ruffian army has been reinforced with 130,000 men; thefe accounts alfo confirm the news brought by the lall meffenger from, St. Peterfburgh, that peace is concluded between l Rudia and Turkey. SWEDISH BULLETIN. Malmoe, March 20. The following report has been received from Baron Effen, Governor General, dated Stralfund, the 16th inflant : • On the 1 rth intl. in the afternoon, arrived the , two frigates, Bellona and Chapman, with the batta lions of Dahl, Nerike, and Wermeland, which were lanJed on the ifland of Rigen, and reached Stral fund on the t3th. • In order to reconnoitre the enemy's pofition, and carry, if poflible, the redoubt, which they had thrown up between jungfernhoff and Kedenlia l ,t n, and which canfiderably Aar-tided our offenfive opc ations ; Colonel Von Cardell was ordered on the 14th intl. to march on that fervice with about 550 , foot and a daachmcnt of huffars and chaffcurs, fup pore.l by a battery of horfe artillery ; two howitzers were alfo mounted on the old rampart in order to fix the enemy's attention to that quarter. The troops marched with the utmoft intrepidity, led on by Co lonel Cardell, to form the above-mentioned redoubt, and drive the enemy from their entrenchments. The battalion of Elfborg rufhed with great gallantry into • the ditch which furrounded the redoubt, and was found 5 to 6 ells deep, and climbed up the glacis, but finding that the redoubt was occupied and defended by a force far fuperior to ours, Colonel Cardell or dered the troops to retreat, which was effeeed with the greatefi order. Our lots confills in about 150 men, killed, wounded, and taken prifoners ; that of the enemy mug have been far more confiderable."— Gotienturgh Gazette. IX TRACT OF A LETTER FROM MALMOZ, IN SWE DEN, MARCH eg. " You know, I fuppofe, that their Swedi(h Majef ties reside here at piercnt. The 12th of this month, being the anniverfary of the Q2een's birth day, wac, of mirk, celebrated heroiiith every mark of joy and feflivity. On that day, a numerous deputation of the Nobility of this province had an audience of the King. Count P. de la Gardie, who headed the De putation, addrelfed the beloved Monarch in a mull able and eloquent fre:ch, letting forth the high fenfe entertained by the Nubility, of the many wife an.ll falutary regulations, both agticultural and corn meroial, taken by his Majefly fur the good of this art of the kingdcarl in pal ticular, and begging him, malt gracloufly to' permit the Nobility of this rn• wince, to ere a a monument to his lliajeay, expreflive of their refpea and gratitude. You may eafily believe. that every one applauded the jua and well. timed a-al of the nobles. The King, however, with that dignified condeffenflon fo peculiar to his Majelly, and that nice fen& of the equal rights of all his faith ful fulieas, fo eharaaeriflic of the Vafa rice, was gracioully pleated to anfvrer :—That he thanked the Nobles for their loyal addrefs and fentiments, but wifhed that, on this fubjeft, they had conferred with their fellow citizens the other three orders of the State t who, having reaped equal benefits from his paternal care, could not lager entertaining the fame grateful feelings. His Majelty added, that the erec tion of a monument in honour of that great man, Field Marlhal Count Stenbock, who reconquered the province of Scania to the crown of Sweden, would be much much more confonant to his willies, and more readily meet with his Royal approbation. 41 I cannot imagine to myfclf any thing more de (crying of admiration, than to fee a king decline a monument, offered him at the age of 28 years, by the nobles of his kingdom, and intended to be ere Bed within fight of a neighbouring nation ; (within fight of Denmark) and decline that monument in favour of the memory of a fulled. This aBion of Guffaf IV. Adolph, worthy the fon and fuccelfor of the immor tal Guflaf 111. needs no comment; but the accounts of it I thought will be acceptable to Britons, them felves fo well accuflomed to fee patriotic virtues grace the throne. The nobles had a fecond audience of the king, when they begged, and obtained his Majelty's per million, jointly with the other orders of the (tate, to creel a monument to the memory of Count Stenbock. Helfmgborg is to be honoured with this ornament, and the place where it will be crated, is to bear the hero's name." EX TRACTS FROM THE MONITEUR, DOWN TO THE 24th OF MARCH. 4 , M. Bernard de Cudi, who reticles in Amfierdam, and M. G. H. Schott, of AmQerdam, have been ac knowledged by the King of Holland ; the former as Conful-General, and the latter as Conful of the So vereign Count of Bentinck-coon, Lord of Kniphan. fen and Varel. The mailers of all (hips, which fail under Kniphaufen colours, and arrive in the ports of Holland, are in future to produce their papers to the above cupfuls, #nd receive from them their difpatches. 4' The King of Denmark has illued an ordinance, prohibiting the importation of warlike times and pro. vitions by Danith fubjeas into the fortrefs of Sq.)- , fund. " They write from Marcow, that no other courfe of exchange at prefent exifts in that city, than on London. No bills of exchange are now drawn on Vienna, becaufe Conftantinople can no longer &rye as an intermediary place. STUTUARD, MARCH 14. The liege of Neilfe, in Silelia, is carried on with vigour. Nothing but the want of heavy artillery has prevented the bombardment. In anfwer to the (=- mons fent by Prince Jerome, the Commandant Paid, he would defend the place to the lall extremity— however, it is thonght it will furrender before the end of this month. The reports of an armiftice are Rill in circulation ; and, it is added, that fence the mediation of the Court of Aufiria has been offered, the Emperor Napoleon has expreffed his willingnefs to treat with Ruffia, upon the conditions offered by M. D'Oubril. We mention thefe things merely as rumours ; they only ferve to Phew the fentiments the people of Germany entertain of the moderation of the Emperor Napoleon. FRANKFORT, MARCH ts. For Tome days pall there has been a report of a t hreefold alliance between France, Pertia, and the Porte. Some fay it is already figned by the two latter Powers, and that France will accede to it. The news from Vienna continues to wear the moll pacific complexion. We are affured that Baron St. Vincent's minion to Warfaw has had the happieft confequences, and that AuQria will now exert all her influence at St. Peterlburgh to induce RutEa to make Peace : but, fay thefe advices, if, c , aitrary to all expe6lation, the efforts of tae Court of Vi. enna are not crowned with fuccefs, Antis is will be mare determined than ever to remain neuzr.:l doling the prefent conteft. DRESDEN, MARCH 13. Letters from Berlin of the toth mention, that Baron Von Stein, Miniller of State, had, with .he ps.i rolfilon of the French Government, arrived in that city. In his converfation, he has communicated fome very re• markable circumflances relative to the defeat of the Ruffians at Prullian Eylau. Whole regiments (1 them were annihilated ; the bell artillerymen killed, and the diforder was general. General Bennigfen had !hut himfelf up feveral days, and refufed to fee the Officers who came to him for orders—and of the con dud of General Ellin he had complained to the Em peror Alexander. Yellerdayfennight arrived at Liverpool the Ame rican (hip Latona, Captain ALDEN, in 32 days from ' New York, having on board the following paffengers, who are come to England a s witnefisis on the trial of Capt. WHITBY, of his Majeßy's (hip LEAMIEPIL, for the murder of huts, viz. Capt lisawsvaa, of an American Revenue cutter; Joaavisim L. BREWSTER, his fon; Roam. MITCHELL. and Joni. WHITE, pilots. and Capt. Plaice, brother of the d ecea f e d. On the 18th hill Capt. ALDEN (poke a (hip from Demerara , for Liverpool. BARRACK BOARD. In the military circles, the new appointment of a Board of Commiainners fc.r marl:tging the Barrack Department has excited a good deal of converfation. Some perfons are of opinion that the bufincfs of this Department might, as formerly, be pieced under the Board of Ordnance ; while other,. think that, under a military man of bufinefs, the duty of the Depart ment might be managed with more energy and deci fion than under a board, where experience (hews that unanimity of opinion does not always exift : but, however the quellion may be decided, three men of greater integrity, and of higher charaeler, could not have been feleeled than the Commiffioners jolt ap pointed. Jut Lice requires it to be mentioned likewife, that we have never heard a complaint againa the worthy charater who laft filled the office of Barrack Mailer General. A fubjed of very general complaint we hope will attrad the early notice of the new Barrack Board. We repeat that the complaint is very general ; and we incline to think it is well founded, that, though of late the country has expended millions annually for the conftruCtion of Barracks and Hofpitals in every pert of the kingdom, the material confideration of health has not been attended to, either in fcite or conftruEtion. Several of them, after having been built at a great expenfe, have abfolutely been pro- nounced unhealthy. Ought not the Medical Board, an expenfive efiablifhment, to be diretted to report on the fituation and the plans of Barracks, and par ticularly Hofpitals, before the building is entered cn ? Yefterday, at twelve o'clock, his MAJESTY came to town from Windfor to the Qiteen's Palace. About half pail one o'clock, his MAJESTY gave an audience to the Lord Chancellor ERSKINE, when his Lordlhip delivered to his MAJESTY the Great Seal of England, and other Peals of office.

Yetlerday dlfpatches were fent off from the Admi ralty to Admiral DACRBS, at Jamaica. Admiral GAMBIER has arrived in town from Buck inghamfhire, and attends as one of the new Lords of the Admiralty Board. General DUMOURIER has juft favoured the Public with a well timed and interefting Publication on the Means of Defending PORTUGAL. General MERCK who was employed by Govern ment to raife men ior a foreign Regiment, has railed near 700 men, principally Germans, at the fmall bounty of three guineas per man. On Monday evening, as his MAJESTY was leaving the Qpeen's Palace for Windfor, the carriage, as ufual, went very flow till it got upon Con(iitution Hill. As the carriage was palling near the entrance to the kitchen of the Palace, a young man, genteely dreffed, attempted to force open one of the blinds of his MAJESTY'S carriage, to put in a paper. SAYERS, the Police officer, was in attendance near the fpot, and immediately feized the young man ; and on exa mining him, be difcnvered that be was a foreigner ; that he was not confcious that be was doing wrong; and was unacquainted with the proper courfe to take to prefent a petition to his MAJESTY. SAYERS, in conttquence, did not keep him in cueody ; but took his Petiti ,, n, and told him he would deliver it to the King, and appointed him to attend yefterday, be tween twelve and one o'clock, at the Queen's Palace, for an antwer. SAYERS took the Petition to the Secretary of State's Office, And he was direded by Mr. READ to bring the young tnan to the Office, when he came for an anfwer. YeAerday the young man attended at the Palace, agreeable ti the appointment of SAYERS / for an anfwer to the petition, and SAYERS took him be fore Mr. Ryan, who fent him to the Alien Office, where, we underhand, he was ordered to find tac tics, not to be guilty of fimilar conduEt, or he fhould be fent out of the country. He is a native of Ger many, and the petition was written in the German language. On Monday morning, Lis MAJESTY'S flag-hounds, with upwards of 3co horfemen, affembled on Afcot Heath. Soon after ten o'clock, a famous deer was turned out for the day's divertion. At firff felting off, be feemed inclined to (hew but little fport ; but, after a (hart run, he fet off with great (peed towards Shrubs Hill and Virginia Water, taking to the right acrofs the heath towards Cobham, through the inclo tures by Oaking, within about four miles of Guild ford, where he was taken, after a run of upwards of three hours. In the courfe of the hunt, a number of horfes were completely knocked up; foam broke their legs, and tome were begged. Out of the 300 horfe. men who flailed, only about 3o were in at the taking of the flag. 2414UF1C/11, INTELLIGENCE. PENZANCE, MARCH 30.
