His Majesty the Emperor passed through here at iw o o'clock in the afternoon of the 28th. The Duke of Weimar and Prince Bernard went to meet him to the extent of their territory. His Majesty alighted it the palace, and conversed nearly two hours with tie Duchess ; after which, his Majesty mounted on VrsebAck to proceed six leagues from hence to Ec rtrsberg, whew his head-quarters were. The Prince i atiing escorted his Majesty there, had the honour of rn at his head-quarters. The troops which have us ,ed here are innumerable.

NaPoLEoN seems to have tost no time after joining le army, in concentrating his forces to prevent the te farther advances of the Allies. On the 29th ult. head-quarters were at Naumbourg. NEY had passed the Saale after an action between SOUNAMIS 'lvision and a part of the allied troops near Weissen is. BERTRAND occupied Jena, and, on the 29th, id his head-quarters at Dornbourg, on the Saale.- 4.AUCHARNOIS had debouched by Hall and Muse )urg, and at the latter place some Prussians belong lg to d'YPRK's corps, had been defeated by /*Do %LID. VICTOR was at Bernebourg, OUDINOT at Saal- Idt, and SEBASTIAN! at Vilzen, where he is stated have beaten a corps of Russians, commanded by !IERNICHEFE. LAURISTON had advanced toWetten, IS afterwards opposite to Hall, where he defeated JIM Prussians. MARMONT was at Koesen upon the DAvotsr at Bremen. The different actions stated in the Moniieur, appear, Ten by the enemy's account of them, to have been trifling affairs. It was to be expected that the pearAnce of tht enemy's recruited forces would in_ ice the Allies to recross the Saale and concentrate :ir own forces, and in fact the advantages gained by APOLEON are summed up in this short sentence— Already have all the parties which the enemy (the (lies) had upon the left bank of the Saale fallen tck." The intelligenoe h, however, highly interesting, s it shews that the business of the campaign has .:otnmenced in earnest, and we may, by almost every mad, expect most important details. That NA. ,EON will make great and imposing exertions is to expected, not only from his character, but from lat he has at stake in the contest: but it is not to supposed that the Allies did not reckon upon this making their arrangements for the campaign. It remains to be seen whether the Allies have pro ided proper magazines in their rear. That the 'ranch will have the advantage of a well organized :ommissariat is not to be doubted ; but we may pe that the Russians have profited by past expe. !ace, and that, should they find it advisable to te !at, which is far from being improbable, it will be fall back upon their own resources; and it is to be :ollected, that the difficulties of an advancing army , crease exactly in the ratio of its progress. It would fully to ascribe much importance to the details ,o‘t before us c they are exactly such as might have Leen expected on opening the campaign. A Heligoland Mail arrived th:s morning, but it '.,~s not being any intelligence from the seat of war a more recent date than that which is contained tlic French Papers. The following extracts, how. .:!r, are important t WISMAR, MAY 2. " Twelve ►.housand men of the army which is to commanded by his Royal Highness the Crown since, have already arrived here, under the corn land of General Baron von Adlercreutz, and whose ;an. ,, uard is already pushed forward to Schwerin. 'he vizzle of the troops go by forced marches to the lbe." " PRAGUE, AMU, 24. " The King •of Saxony, at Ratisbon, received a 'tier from Napoleon, and immediately after set off Jr the Alstrian borders with all speed. The Great ',Juke of Wurtzburg has been expected for three days Ist at Prague, where the whole of his equipage has -ne.y arrived, but he was detained by Marshal Ney. 7 rie bent oPthe people's minds here is such, that iisturbances ate certain of taking place whenever any )erson expresses the least doubt of Austria joining the 004 cause. At the ceremony of washing the feet Ash-Wednesday, and just at the Monient When :he Emperor was going to pont water on the feet of old man, the latter fell on his neck and begged ass not to join with France. It is said the Emperor )riled, but with tears in his eyes." " DRESDEN, APRiL 25. " It is repotted that oui King has gone by the way ~i Passau to Linz, and there had a conversation with I .c Emperor of Austria. He *ill be accompanied to Prague by two regimt . is of cuirassiers, a battalion f: the. guards, and a detachment of yagers, which had followed him from Platen to Ratishon. They will be cantoned in the iricinity of Prague. gg The expenses of the Xing's residence in foreign Countries is calculated at 50,000 dollars per week ; and according to all appearances, an alliance between him and Austria seems to be certain; consequently, after taking this step, Saxony can no longer belong to the Confederation of the Rhine. In Saxony Proper the French Customs Tariff on Colonial Produce is abolished. 44 That Austria is making preparations for war, is generally believed here, from that Government hav ing determined on putting forty-five millions of guil ders in anticipation notes in circulation. There is even mention made of a Congress taking place, which will have for its object the restoration of the German Empire, and the dignity of Emperor of Germany to the House of Austria. " DESSAU, APRIL 26. 16 It is reported, that the French left Bamberg yesterday, after having set fire to it. The destruction which these barbarians allow themselves to make, surpasses description.. All the fine country between the Elbe, the Saale, and the Hartz, is totally ruined. In the villages near Bamberg, they have taken the doors out of the houses and burnt them.—lt is re ported, that 36,000 French are in the forest of Thu ringen, and about the same number, under the com mand of the Viceroy, between Halberstadt and As chersleben. Quidlingburg is to be fortified, and an entrenched camp formed near Ditfurt. " General Kleist's corps this day entered Halle, where his Royal Highness Prince Henry of Prussia likewise is in person. The division of Bulow, which was relieved before Magdeburg by Russian troops, arrived here yesterday. 4 , The Prussians, on their side, have thrown up some masterly entrenchments before Magdeburg." " FROM THE PRUSSIAN HEAD-QUARTERS. " Altenburg, April 25. " This moment, being six o'clock in the evening, we received the information of the enemy's having, at twelve o'clock, passed the Saale at Dornburg and Comburg." " MAGDEBURG, APRIL 23. " The garrison here, since, the departure of the Viceroy, consists of only 7000 men ; only one halt of the cannon necessary for the defence of the works are at hand, and the artillery is, in general, of the smallest calibre. " The French have garrisoned Cracau, a village on the right bank of the Elbe, not an English mile distance from the tower battery, with 1000 men and 16 cannon. The bridge of boats at the late town of Neus tadt has been taken away after the retreat of the Gth April. The buildings of the Monastery of Berg, ex cepting the Hospital greeted there, have been pulled down. The citizens have received notice to deliver their stores of provisions, of which an exact statement is taken, into the public magazines, and will receive from these a certain portion daily ; but this measure has not as yet been carried into effect. The indemnification granted to those who have been sufferers by pulling down the suburbs, consists in having had their landed property valued at a very low rate, and then giving them the fifth part of its worth, so estimated in neighbouring grounds." PRIVATE LETTER. " HAMBURGH, MAY 4. " NINE O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING.—Since my last, our situation here has not changed, except that our defensive preparations are becoming every day more complete, at the same time that the probability of our being obliged to use them daily diminishes. We know indeed but little of what passes on the other side of the river, but it seems that the French must be in great want of provisions and of ammunition. Their artillery is all of small calibre. We have, on the other hand, formidable batteries at Willielms burg, particularly some 24-pounders, which entirely command Harburg, and with which, when the French shew themselves, a heavy cannonade is kept. " From half-past twelve till five this morning our batteries kept up a continual firing, till the French fire wholly ceased ; since which time all is still. It is affirmed, the French have fired with stones instead of ball. The last of our people who quitted Harburg, were 18 sharpshooters of the Lauenburg corps.— These remained till they saw two Cossacks pursued by a body of French hussars ; they lay in ambush, and laid themselves on the ground, and firing all at once, five hussars fell, on which the hussars retired, leaving the sharpshooters and the Cossacks time to reach the Castle, where they drew up the bridge, and immediately embarked. One Cossack only remained behind, but even he, finding a small boat, embarked , with his horse, and amidst a shower of balls from the French, arrived without hurt at Wilhelmsburg. " By the Hoots, the French have made no attempt to pass, but have unhappily taken an armed vessel, which was run a-ground, whose Captain was killed, with the mate and 9 sailors, and 19 taken prisoners. The Elbe is so low from the East-wind, that the French could wade to the ♦essel. It is very happy for us that we had got almost all the boats over to this side before the French came, else they might per haps have been able to lay a bridge over to Wilhems burg, from whence they could have commanded Hamburgh—they have indeed taken at Buxtehude, a number of small boats, proper for this purpose, and bay. brought partly over-laud to Limburg, but our ipatterieg would now eteethaily bade any *en* tb that purpose. gi Yesterday 200 attempted to wade over to ene of 'the Wands, but were immediately driven back. Softie who attempted to cross in another place, stuck fast in the mud and were taken. We do not know for certain, the number of the enemy, but it seems not to exceed 10 or 12,000 in all, of whom 1100 in Stade, some hundreds in Buxtehude, 4000 in Harburg, two or three hundred in Luneburg, and the others dispersed about in parties of two or three hundred, which plun der the peasantry, carry away the men, and even de- I stroi what they cannot use." From the above letter, it will be seen, that; not withstanding the boasting in the Moititeur, the French army is by no means in that well•found state which their own accounts wish lie world to believe. We have not room for farther remarks. The facts speak for themselves. Dispatches received by Government this morning from Mr. COCKBVRN, at Hamburgh, state, that the French, under SEBASTIANI had once more evacuated Luneburgh, and that General GIMBORN, the Russian General, had taken the opportunity of again throwing parties across the Elbe, to re-occupy Luneburg. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. DEAL, MAY 8. Arrived the ACTIVE hired armed cutter, with dis. patches from off Flushing ; and the ALERT cutter, from Portsmouth. The ARCHER gun-brig has de. tained and sent into the Downs a brig, from London for Dunkirk. P. S.—During six hours yesterday, a very heavy and incessant firing was kept up on the French coast: the report of the guns was heard along the coast to• wards Holland : from our not hearing the firing at Boulogne, nor from the ports to the westward, we are inclined to think that it was a mere exercise of the troops, but there has been no arrivals of any sort fromthe other side since, to throw any light on the subject.

Yesterday morning the SEAHORSE frigate, Captain J. A. GORDON, arrived at this port from Jamaica in •15 days, with 800,000 dollars (merchants' property) on board. Commissioner and Mrs. WOLLEY came home in her, for the recovery of their health, with Captain Ross, of his Majesty's late ship RHODIAN.— It was with feelings of regret we learned by her of the capture of his Majesty's sloop of war PEACOCK, of 18 guns, commanded by Captain Wm. PEAKE, by the American sloop of war the Hornet, Capt. LAW RENCE. Captain PEAKE and all his Officers were killed before the ship struck. Captain PEAKE fell nearly at the close of the battle. The circumstances, as brought by the SEAHORSE, are as follow :—When in channel soundings, she fell in with a Leeward Island packet, last from Guadaloupe, the Captain of which informed Captain GORDON, that just before he sailed from Guadaloupe, four of the crew of the PEACOCK had arrived there from Demerara in a packet-boat, bringing intelligence of the capture of the PEACOCK, after a very severe contest, by the American sloop of war Hornet, and that she sunk soon after the action had ceased. By their account it appeared, the PEACOCK and Hornet fell in with each other late in the evening (date not stated), in sight of Demerara : that an action was commenced with great confidence of success on the part of the crew of the PEACOCK; but in a very short time, the heavy and quick firing of the Hornet completely disabled her. The action was, howeve4, maintained with the utmost ardour for 45 minutes, when, the ship being reduced to a mere wreck, without mast or spar standing, all the Officers being killed, the far greater part of the crew killed, and the ship having five feet , water in hold, the coloUrs were struck. The PEA coca( was in a sinking state, and fast going down, when the only boat she had remaining was thrown overboard, and the four men mentioned got into her, and pushed off. The Hornet now passed under the PEAcocx's stern, and said she had lost a great many men, and was much cut up, but she would send a boat to assist in taking out the crew.— Before these men lost sigh; of the Hornet, the NA.. _ . feOci went down, and, it is apprehended, very few of the PEACOL"K'S brava crew were sated. The boas& aaca and Orossoit sloops of war put to sea front Dertierara artei. the Hornet, with every chance of coming up with her. She was On her return ib Athe riCa from the Coast of Brazil, when she fell in with the PEACOCK. Captain PEACE was the eldest son of HARRY PEAK!, Esq. one of the Surveyors of the Navy (formerly builder of Portsmouth Dock-yard), and brother of Captain THOMAS LARD Pima, of the Navy. He had been seven years a Commander, and left England only a few months for the Leeward Islands station, on promotion: The PEACOCK was one of the largest class of brigs of war in our serVice, carryitig eighteen. 32-pounders. The Hornet is of 'considerably greater tonnage than the PEACOCK, and mounts twenty 32-pound carronades, two long sizes, and two long 9-pounders.

Captaiii Darby reports, that a number of privateers were off the coast between Aruba and Maryeabo, and that three Spanish vessels were plundered by one of them.— To Spaniards they call themselves French, and tO English they call themselves Americans ; and in this manner they capture every thhig they meet. " MARCH 13.—The Defiance, American privateer, of three guns and 80 men, has put into Aux Cayes to repair damages she sustained in au action with a Spa. nish armed ship, which she at length captured, after being frustrated in two attempts to board her. The Spaniards had upwards of forty men killed and wounded, and the Americans 7 killed and a great many wounded. The Spanish ship was afterwards given up." « MARCH 20.-By a schooner from Pensacola, we are informed that a British vessel, from Honduras to London, was taken by an American privateer, and sent for New Orleans t by the same conveyance we learn that the ARETHVSA frigate and a sloop of war were cruizing off the Mississippi. The FAWN frigate arrived at Porto Cavello the 11th inst. and sailed for La Guyr.f.the following day, on receiving informa tion of two American privateers being off that port.
