Passatianl4, APRIL t 5 can no longer doubt but Tome decifive events will Dowdy take place in the Turkills provinces ; the infurgents are followed by multitudes of women and children, that inundate our frontiers ; thus the Cordon drawn by Government is obliged to be reinforced every day; for if the Servians experience any check, it is probable that they will endeavour to fall back upon Hungary.

However unimportant in a military point of view the Walt Wel! may be, the confemtences of the late Otirmilb between the Swedes and P ruffians may podibly ailed every Power in Etr rope. We arc happy, therefore, to lay before our readers, a met eircumftantial and authentic account of that important event. .' Likuvosuaoki, SPRIT, 26. " I embrace the eirlieft opportunity to give your Excellency an account of the recent occurrences.— The affair between the Pruffians and Swedes is the general topic of converfation. I (hall repeat it to you in the fame manner as it was related here by a Pruffian Officer who was prefent—it agrees in many particulars with the relation of feveral peafants from that quarter. " On the szd, in the afternoon, the Pruffians cons. menccd their march from the environs of Baitzen burgh. Their force confined of the regimenta of Tfchammer infantry. and of Beeren Cuiraffiers, with four pieces of cannon. They continued their march the whole night, and arrived early in the morning of the 23d at Groffen-Seedorf, on the &hall lake, where Count Lowenhielm had taken a potation with his two hundred Lrave Swedifh horfe. In this place he was turrounded, but this was agreeable to his own plan ; for if he would have avoided it, he mull have retreated, and would have been forced over the frontier. He therefore. Coffered himfelf to be furrounded, that he might afterwards fight his way through, and retreat to a covered ground, where be could better defend himfelfagainft a force fo much fuperior to his own. When he was thus furrounded, Colonel Von Beeren, who commanded the Pruffians, rode up to him and faid. You fee that you are in my power, but I have received jilting:non: to avoid every hoflility, and have not even ordered my troops to load; do, therefore, withdraw beyond the fron tier.' Count owenhielm's reply was (bort " Swedes never furrender and immediately he commanded his troops to face the Pruffian cavalry, which flood dole, and which he attacked with impetuofity. Oue offices and a number of men were wounded. The moment that Count Lowenhielm had forced his way through, he formed his troops in fmall corps, and attacked en a-birder. Hereupon the enemy advanced their (harp (hooters and infantry. One Swedifh bur far was (hot and feveral wounded. The Swedes con tinued to fend the fmall corps forward fucceffivelb and in this manner the engagement Lifted until noon, when the Swedes retreated over the frontier, Liking all their wounded along with them, but returned in the night, forced the Pruffians back, but went away Again. " Thus far goes the Officer's relation. On the 33d in the afternoon, orders were received here for the forty PrulTian (harp !hooters, who were left here, to march to the (pot as expeditionfly as poffible, which they did immediately. It feems now that the Swedes have entirely withdrawn. The Pruffian Soldiers who are here, (poke at &It very Meltingly of the Swedes; but after this affair, they do not fay a word. What has made a particular imprellion is, that, notwith fianding their great Superiority in numbers, the Prof. fians were obliged to fend for a reinforcement. They had even ordered two more regiments from the Lu nenburgh territory (on the other fide of the Elbe), 'and Come of the men had altullly arrived. If a war fhnuld take place in Pomerania, this trilling affair will undoubtedly make a great impreffion on the Swedes. The difproportion was too great on this ocealion, two hundred againft two thoufand five hundred. Count Lowenhielm had Paid to his men a week before, Every one of us will have to fight forty Pruffians ; but we are Swedes, and things will 'go well, if each of you execute punetually what 1 Stall defire him.' He has been as good as his word, and has them; what a man of link caa do with brave men. " Before the Swedes left this place, they took all the money out of the Government Treafury, in the order by which they demanded it, that they would reftore it to the King of Great Britain."

In our Plymouth letter, which our Readers will find infested under its proper head, the arrival of Come valuable prizes is announced : one of them was cut out from a Bay near Nantz, where Ike was pro telled by a battery on (hove, which annoyed our brave tars fo notch, that they found it necefrary to land and (pike the guns before they could bring away their prize. We have the pleafure to Rate, that the following account has been received at the Eaft India Houk, of the 'hips outtvard•bound, under convoy of she ADAMANT man of war, being all well on the zgtb of March laft, in lat. 29, N. long. lg.

We now know, that the sift Dragnons tuld 4th battalion 6oth Regiment, are vane to the Cape-;—the 2111 Dragoons to relieve the soth there, and the Ike. leton of the 6oth to receive as privates part of the late Dutch garrifon, who have entered our fervice. The 4th is the only battalion of the 6oth regiment that has ever been fent on any other fervice than the Well Indies. The prefent prefling calls for troops in India and Sicily, has, for a lime, it is Paid, prevented our fend. ing an army to the afEllance of our gallant Ally, the magnanimous King of Sweden. It is Paid that fhortly a force will be collefted for this fervice, and the 43d, Sad, and 34th regiments, are mentioned as three of thofe intended. But for the ftate of Sir JAME, Canto's health, which caufed his return from Sicily, Sir jolts Mooas was intended for the command of oar troops to co-operate with the Swedilh and Ruffian armies. In our paper of Saturday, we gave an ample detail of the exertions employed, to expedite the failing of the different fleets from Porsfmnuth, for their refpec tive deflinations. To the particulars then commit. nicated, we have to add, for the informati , m of the public, and particularly of thole whn have relatives embarked in the different fleets, the fubjoined letters received this morning : " PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY [YINING° MAY 10. " Every body is now on bond ; ten troops of Ge neral TARLYTON'S Regiment, the 21(t Dragoons, were embarked this morning, it was former th an t h e y expeded. Several Indiamen and Itore•fbip, arrived this morning from the River and the Downs. The Admiral has ordered, that they (hall pniitively fail cc morrow morning. The convoy confifts of the Ltow, of so grins, Capt.• Rou.ss, who is Comrnr . d 'he Msous• frigate, and the live (loop of tsar , bziides two other (loops of war, who, after going to a cer tain latitude, are to proceed with the army for Sicily, and the large Mediterranean convoy for Gibraltar, Malta, and other ports. '• The Comm done has orders, after feting them to a certain Windt, to fend the Hors with that part the fleet which is deflined for the Cape, while he himfelf proceeds with the India Sips and Chinamen : he rendezvonfes with the troops at Polo Penang. " All is brae in the harbour ; every boat is M. ployeel carrying on board flock or bag cage ; all the coaches Came in here lafl night and this morning loaded, and yet many Officers t‘i;l he left beltivd, lo peremptory are the orders for e, et) fhip that is at. rived to 141 as they are. The Officers left behind will proceed wirlt the fecund divifirm of troops and !hips, which will fail from hence. The Officers of the Staff now etob,grked are— Colonel SHAW, Barrack Mallet General; Colonel *Leon, Adjutant General, Madras A*my; Lieutenant Colonel Sir Wu. Kam.

Parma, of the Tranfport Office, have been moll indefatigably alive in fending nil ow armies for the Cape, India, and Sicily." We have in a preceding column given a few far ther extraas from the French and Dutch Journals received on Saturday. Admiral Vitr.swauva, who was allowed to return to France, is limed in the Paris Papers to have dellroyed himfelf at Rennes. We notice the circumftance (though it is an invariable rule with us never to record inftances of fuicide), be. caufe we do not credit the fan. TOUSSAINT, Gene ral Picuaoau, and Captain WRIGHT, were ..11 three reported to have put an end to their exilic= ; but it is well known they were murdered. On Saturday a report prevailed in the city that s the Duke of Battu MICR was immediately coming to this country on a diplomatic miffion from the Court of Berlin, and in order to endea►our to adjufk the matters in difpute between the two Governments ; and it was even laid, that &honk had been hired for his accommodation. We have heard nothing to countenance this report. Some are of opinion, however, that the Court of Ber lin, under the diration of Bo AAAAA Ts, may fend a diplomatic agent here for the purpoce of negociation, or at leaf of founding the difpnfition of the Govern ment, and afcertaining the temper of the country.— The million of fo eminent a perfon as the Duke of &mamma, whether his propofitions were 6t to be accepted or not, would be a pledge that the objeft was honourable. It was lan night reported that information had been received through an indireet channel, that the fquadron of Jeans', Bowaraara hid been entirely captured near theftle of France.—One account flitted that he was blockaded at that Ifland.—We have not been able to trace this report to any authentic foam t it may however prove corral. It has been afferted by an Evening Paper, with a degree of confidence which was calculated.to impofe on the public, that there was likely to be a [operate negociation between Ruffia and France, and that overtures to this effe& had *dually been made through Pruffia:—We can effort our Readers that there is not the flighteß foundation for this furmife. The Paragraph teems to be a fabrication from a pre tended account of the political intrigues of the Coat of St. Peterfburgh, which tome days ago filled a co lumn of a newfpaper, and which would have been mifchievons,but.for its ablurdity.—We are perfuaded that the good faith, honour, and magnanimity of the Emperor At.axasota locate to us his alive co•opc ration ; and that there is no truth whatever in the infidious dories to his difcredit. It is now moll certain that the Earl of Leonel. DAL, is the new Governor General of India. He is to leave town almoff immediately, for Portfmouth, where a frigate has been ordeted for him and his Suite. Lord MA/TLAND, and the reit of his Lord. fhip's family, are preparing to accompany him to Calcutta. We have great pleafure in hating that Lieutenant General Sir JANIS CRAIG, whole arrival at Plymouth, hum Sicily we announced on Saturday, though Rill . very much indifpofed, is much better than when he entbatked. He Wes accompanied by Dr. S-w wet. Infpedor of Hofpitals, in the Mediterranean. The Lords of the Treafury have written to Gene ral Da LANCET, direeting him to pay into the Bank with 7 i three days the 93,0001. which, according to the Report of the Army Commiilloners, it appears he has retained of the public money. The CAPTAIN, of 74 guns, and the RANOIR !loop of war, having now undergone a thorough repair s will immediately go out of deck at Portfmouth. Her Royal Highnefs the Princels of WAL ta paired through Plymouth on Thurfday afternoon, on her way to the feat of Lord MOUNT Eaccomaa. The medals to commemorate the glorious Victory off 'Trafalgar have been (truck, and delivered to the Admirals and Captains who ferved on that memora ble day. The medals are tl be worn in the fame manner as that: granted by his Majetly on occafion of the lot mer viattries. It is limed, that at the date of the Jail overland difpatch, HoLeas. had fent a Vakeel to Ojien, for the purpofe o f fignifying to t h e Britifh Refident there his readinefs to enter into terms of accommodation with the India Government. He propofes to place every thing on the fame footing as before the war, • both in regard to hind - elf and his allies. The Ben, Rajah had, at the fame period, difmiffed the principal.part of his troops, in compliance with the terms of his treaty with the Britilb Government. A Memorial has been prefinted to the Reprefenta tives of the Batavia° Republic, feigned by a great numb-r of the Citizens and Inhabitants of that State, in which, after alluding to the paragraph in the Mo. nueer of the t Bth ult. Rating indirectly the neeeffity for a Monarchical Government in Holland, they depre cate, in the arongea • terms, the introduaion of arty ether Government than that of a Republican Coafti. tution, which they confider as abfolurely neceffary to the ezillence of the ground on which they dwell, that depending upon the general inter** taken by the peo ple in the management of the dikes. They ezprefs their hopes that, on the contrary, fuch new modifica tions will be made in their republican films of govern. ment as will thew to the world that the prefervation of the Republic counterbalances every other confi deration id a nation that loves fo much its liberty; and they finally Rate, that, under fuch a government the country would be far more 'ireful to its ally than, b fuppofing the ground itfclf not to be (wallowed up is a few y ears . ii pudibly could if it mull fubmit to af§lp of Government. from even the name of which air I 1 ancettots bad ever been arch. 1
