We expect two divisions of infantry; 6000 Poles are in the Grand Duchy of Berg. The Military Commission, assembled the day be fore yesterday at Bremen, condemned to death Back tazan, the keeper of a public-house, for having taken a put in pillaging the warehouses of the Custom }, Officers at Oldenburg, during the troubles 5,./ ic:l broke out in that town. The execution took y:ace yesterday morning. MAGDEBURG, APRIL 20. di It is more than a month since the Prussians and flus.;;ans have hovered round the positions which the riceryy took at the conflux of the Saale and the Elbe. The enemy, full of a blind confidence, dared to throw two corps in advance of the Elbe ; the one from the side of Luneburg and Steindel, the other from Dresden and Leipzic. He has not, however, t he whole course of the Elbe a single point d'ait pi j all the fortresses are in our hands ; it is the same with respect to those of the Oder and the Vis tula. The enemy is, therefore, plaCed in such an al ternative, that it he does not obtain the most constant success, he must suffer reverses more sudden and dis astrous than those to which the intemperance of the Season, and the defection of an ally, exposed us in the last campaign. The wings of the enemy's army are melded over a line of more than 150 leagues. Berlin, according to appearances, is occupieoy an army of pamphlet and proclasnatinn-writers, but almost entirely stripped of regular troops. The ne ce.sity of (41:serving Dantzic, Thorn, Modlin, Za mose, the fortresses of Glogau, Custrin, Stettin, Wittenberg, and Torgau, has considerably weakened the Russian and Prussian army, for Dantzic alone occupies an army of 30,000 men. It is, therefore, not astonishing that the enemy's efforts on this side the Elbe are confined to some incursions of cavalry. The Russians must have no idea of the imposing mass of forces concentrated between the Rhine and -the Elbe, and more especially between Magdeburg and Ivlayence. This army daily receives fresh reinfifice tnents, and all the vacancies which so many detached garrisons had left in its ranks have been filled as by enchantment i created by national enthusiasm, it bunts to fight for the honour of France, and for the true interests of Europe."

The action between the French frigate Are thuse, and the English frigate AMELIA, on the coast of Africa, is described at greater length than the Battle of Trafalgar in the London Gazette. It svould be unfair, however, to deny that the French man fought his ship well. Our affairs in Spain, if we can believe the Paris Editors, are in a most ruinous plight. The French arms are every where victorious, and the Spanish In surgents now turn their weapons against the English. It is right and proper, perhaps, to amuse the Great Nation with such details, while 44 the first Captain of the age is leading his grand and magnificent army, confident of victory, against the enemy." As we have already stated, BONAPARTE'S whole auentlon is directed towards Magdeburgh and the Elbe, of which the Allied Generals seem to be perfectly aware. Their plan of campaign has been long since settled; end, if we may judge from the rapid advance they have made through Saxony towards the Saale, and the litre respite they have given BEAUHARNOIS, DA vouvr, and the Other Generals whom BONAPARTE tßhied hira o it is their intention to act upon the offcnsive, and attack this 46 superb army," of which the Paris Journals speak in such glowing terms, be fore it has been half organized. We have no fears for the result of the engagement; and we hope, for the honour of the common cause, that BONAZARTk.: Vlll Command in person. Another assassination has been committed at Bre men oy the Military Commission. The miscreants who compose this revolutionary tribunal ought to be proflaimed by name, and a price set upon their beads. /But have the Allies no French Generals in their power upon whom to retaliate those foul murders ?

The Crown Prince of Sweden has not arrived to review and superintend the embarkation of the troops. They are all in readiness, but it is now said, that his Royal Highness will not be here for several days." By the arrival of a vessel from Hamburgh yester_ day, we have intelligence from thence to Wednesday last ;—nothing was then known of the surrender of Count TROOOII7, one of the Austrian Envoys, left London this day. It will be recollected, that this Nobleman was charged by Count METTERNICH, the Austrian Minister at the Russian head-quarters, with a Special Commission to the British Court. The greatest exertions are now making at Wool wich to send off an immense battering train to the North of Germany ; and Colonel CONGREVE has re reived orders to complete a Rocket Equipment, on a large scale, for the same service. LISBON PAPERS. Just as we were sending this Paper to press, we re ceived Lisbon Journals from the 19th to the 25th ultimo, from which we give the only extracts that the time will permit. The previous Journals from the 3d to the 19th have not yet been received ; but it appears by those before us that nothing of impor tance can have taken place, as active operations were not to commence before the 12th instant. si LISBON, APRIL 2s. • " General Castanhas has his head-quarters in Al dea de Bispo.

The Ist Battalion of the 73d Regiment is to be moved from New South Wales to Ceylon ; and th 46th. now at Jersey, is under orders to be in readi. ness to embark for that Colony. The 55th Regiment of Foot have marched ii Colchester Barracks from Canterbury. The Spanish troops which lately arrived from Ca diz, in the Iphigenia Spanish frigate, and are des tined to form a part of the Body Guard of the Crown Prince of SWEDEN, were lately reviewed at Ports mouth, by Major General the Earl of Five and Ma jor General Dowtite. Though the weather was un favourable, the sight much gratified a number of the inhabitants. Erroneous statements having appeared in the pub lic papers, respecting the part which the Foot Guards took at the Opera House on Saturday last, we are authorised to give the following true statement of the case :—On the disturbance taking place, one of the Police Officers ordered the eight sentinels behind the scenes (who always have their bayonets fixed) to clear the stage, which they in a quiet manner attempted to do ; the Officer on duty on seeing this immediately repaired to the spot to order back the men to their posts, with the view of preventing mischief. The statement that the guard was disarmed is untrue ; one man, a very young soldier, lost temporary possession of his arms, and two men lost their bayonets, whilst in the act of unfixing them, being so directed by some officer of their own corps. The arms which were thrown into the Pit, and flourished about on the stage, were those taken from the men who are hired at the Theatre to perform in the Ballet. The remainder of the guard, who were stationed at the outside of the house, were not brought forward. • 2 Majesty's ships NORGE, from off die Texel f and the EREBUS, from Portsmouth.

The PRINCE REGENT gave a grand dinner yesterday to her MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES. Among the company invited to meet them, were the Duke of YORK, the Dowager Marchioness of BATH, Lord ARRAN, Lord ST. HELENS, Lord ARDEN, the Earl of YARMOUTH, the Dowager Countess of CARDIGAN, Mrs. HowE, Count MUNSTER, &c. In the evening there was a dre is party, consisting of the LORD CHAN ' CELI.Oit, Miss Scurr, the Earl and Countess of LI VERPOOL, Viscount and VicountessCASTLEREAGH • and a number of persons of distinction. Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of CUM BERLAND and suite arrived at Yarmouth, and imme diately embarked on board the NYMPHEN sloop of war, under a Royal saltite from the ships in the Roads. At twelve o'clock the NYMPHEN got under way, and stood for the North Seas. The HOLLY cutter sailed at the same time, with Mr. ADDINGTON on board, for Heligoland. Previous to the departure of Colonel de BACH and the Cossack, 'who left London for Harwich early on Saturday morning, they were introduced to the PRINCE REGENT, who conversed for some time with tlib Officer, and presented the Cossack with a black velvet sword belt, brilliantly. Atudded with silver ; a handibme silver cartouche-box, with his Royal High ness's cypher and crest, and a handsome sabre. The Monmouthshire Address was yesterday pre , seined to the Princess of WALES by S. HOMPUAY, Esq. the High Sheriff; to which her Royal High ness returned the following answer : " Accept my best acknowledgments for the kind intere.t in my situation which your address evinces. The domestic afflic tion, which I have recently suffered, has fallen with peculiar severlty upon me at the present moment. But I never can for get the generous sympathy which I have met with from all quarters. A requisition to the LORD MAYOR is in progress I of being signed, to convene a Common Hall, that a congratulatory Address may be presented to the PRINCE REGENT, on the occasion of the discovery of the innocence of his August Consort.

Wednesday three of the prisoners at the depot at Perth, found their way, by means of false keys, to an empty cellar under the tower. They had with them suits of black, with crape., for their hats, in which they intended to have dressed themselves over their prison jackets, and to have walked out with the crowd, at the hour of market. They were discover ed, however, by a ptrson who had gone into their place of concealment to examine the water pipes.— Had they escaped discovery, two more were to have Joined them. Last week was committed to Exeter Gaol, under a warrant from the Coroner,J.Jackroa, a Mack, charged with the wilful murder of Powell. The patties belonged to the Salvador del Mundo, in Hamoaze, and were employed as Cook's Mates. It appeared on the Inquest that they had been overheard quarrel. ing, and that the black, after swearing, with a tre mendous oath that he would knock the other into a large rub of boiling cocoa, which had just been drawn from the coppers, tor breakfast, actually carried his threats into complete execution, by a heavy blow on the mouth of the unfortunate Powell, which drove him into the tub. The upper part of the body of the latter was immersed in the boiling liquor; and, after languishing two days in horrible torments, during which time all the skin came off the parts immersed, he was relieved from his sufferings by death. For some time past, considerable quantities of whiskey have been smuggled into Glasgow by people who made a trade of carrying the spirits on their backs, in small kegs and jars. Friday morning last, between two and three o'clock, eight of these men were encountered on the Garccnbe road, about two miles from Glasgow, by a party of Excisemen, well armed, and the tesult was, that tour of the smugglers were carried to the Infirmary, severely wounded ; one of whom died soon after he was brought there ; and another, it is apprehended, cannot survive.

KEATES, in the Bum- ROPHON, 74. guns, with the Moss and Loina frigates, &c. called off this harbour, and made signal for his Majesty's ship PLOVER, Captain CAMPBELL, to come out and join him, with the several ships bound as above. Upwards of one hundred sail came from Spithead with the Admiral, besides about one hun• dred sail that had assembled here, and only waited his arrival. The wind has been very favourable for them since sailing. The Apollo, BAILEY, from London to Hull, put into Lynn, on Friday, with loss of anchor and cable. A letter from Gottenburgh, dated Apra 24. says, " The CALYPSO, and three gun-brigs, form the sea. blockade of DSntzic ; some vessels have been cap tured by them. A Russian frigate is in Copenhagen Roads, nearly ready for sea ; having been dismasted in December last, and put in there to refit.

George Kerr and Son, on the West Breast, and adjacent to the Greenock Bank, were discovered to be on fire. The fir: broke out in the upper part of the building, which consists of four flats, beside! the attic story, and raged with almost incredible fury for nearly two hours. About half-past eleven, the premises were consumed down t 0.4,113 second flat.— The active exertions of the inhabitants, who; on tht first alarm, immediately repaired to the spot, and tit convenient supply of water afforded from the has bour to the engines, however, arrested the progres: of the.flames, and in little more than an hour there , after, the fire was got completely under. While a' its height, serious apprehensions were entertained fob the safety of the adjoining part of the mg.., of build ings to the westward, which contained a large quaff tity of valuable West India produce ; but they for tunately suffered no damage, notwithstinding the strong gale of wind then blowing from N.E. Ws are happy to learn that no serious personal injury wit sustained by any of the individuals who assisted of the occasion. The greatest praise is due to man who risked themselves in the most perilous situa tions ; and ti all, for the general activity which pre valed in extinguishing the flames, and saving goods contained in the premises from the destructi element. Two fire eap,'nes, in additi•in ft) these bX longing to the town, arrived from Port Gituiv!i with the utmost expedition, and being in excete order, were instantly applied with the most benefit elect- T.e d tease sustained is estimated at a siUctAblo
