Lehman's written instructions, that the insurrection of the whole Valley of the Oder, sander command of M. Von Marwitz, had likewise broke up to oppose the intended passage of the French at Gristediese. 46 The orders arrived at ten o'clock, and by two o'clock every thing was organized, and marched off, with the Proprietors of Estates, the Clergy, and Stewards, at their head ; and a number of workmen being just then trri?loyed on Frederick William's ca nal, they immediately joined the troop with their a ces, &c. They were followed by waggons laden with provisions, brandy, and a war-chest ;in short, every thing was in such order, that whoever saw us, must have believed that we had been accustomed to it for months : a flag, with a cross, and the inscrip ticn of " By the help of God, for our King and Country," was borne before the sturdy peasantry ; and In this manner i.ve proceeded in high spirits to vat ds Mullzose, as being our appointed place of ren dezvous, Scarcely were we arrived there, when a crairier brought us information of the French having been deteated, and 500 of them made prisoners by the regular military, in conjunction with the insur rection of the Vale of the Oder, under the command of M. Von Marwita ; that under these circumstances, our issistance was no longer necessary, and we might rcturn quietly home. ,‘ At Damm (near Stettin) our watch-word was etrayecl to the French by a deserter. They made a salty ; our advanced-guards were surprised, and obliged to retire with some loss, but the Cossacks stun restored order, and re-took from the French the booty they had made. On this occasion Finktmwalde was burnt down. The French indulged themselves in dreadful misconduct ; but they are said to have lost three pieces of artillery, and 1.5 u men, on their retreat."

Paris Papers to the 25th instant arrived last night : they furnish us with the positions of the it Grand Army" up to the 15th, on which day BEAUHARNOIS had his left at the conflux of the rivers Scale and Elbe, his centre at Bernburg, his right towards the Hartz Mountains in the country of Hanover. DA.. vousr occupied Zelle, and VANDAMME Bremen. On the 12th the Allies attacked the Viceroy's centre at Sernburg,l but they were is repulsed with loss." In an affair at Nordhausen their loss is for once speci fied, for the French cavalry took three Hussars pri soners." Why the loss of the allies in the affair of Bernburg is concealed, we know not, unless the whole story is without foundation. There is a ridiculous story in these papers about the nephew of BALLAETEROS having, with 15,000 men, annihilated 3000 English near Badajos. The story rests upon the authority of a 4 , Frenchman," who had it from a few Spaniards, and so it goes upon all fours, until it reaches the Editor of the Moxiteur. Of a similar character is the article from Sicily. Yesterday the Russian Ambassador had an au. dience of the PRINCE REGENT, and introduced the Don Cossack, and the Russian Officer who came with him to England. Yesterday Earl BATHURST; and Viscounts SID MOUTH and CASTLEREAGH ; had audiences of the PRINCE REGENT. Yesterday morning the Prince of ORANGE had his first interview with Earl BATHURST ) at his office in Downing.street. The repairs of Warwick-house are nearly com pleted, The Princess CHARLOTTE arrived there yes terday about one o'clock from Windsor, attended by Miss KNIGHT. Miss ELPHINSTONE visited her Royal Highness soon after. About five o'clock, her Royal Highness received a letter from the Princess of WALE& Yesterday morning at five o'clock, Mr. ADDING.. TON, jun. the son of Mr. HILEY ADDINGTON, set off from his father's house in Harley -street, on a confi dential mission abroad, and with dispatches of in structions to Lord CATHCART and General Srrwmtv, which were not made up till a late hour on Wednes day night. Letters from Constantinople mention the following unfortunate incident :—Mr. LEVY, an English Gen tleman, well known and highly esteemed in Russia, was lately drowned in the Black Sea, together with Count FOGESSIERA, a Piedmontese Nobleman, two orderly dragoons of the 20th regiment, and a servant, on their route to join Sir ROBERT WILSON-with the rest of the crew of the vessel, one Greek only ex cepted. Mr. LEVY was on his return from Constanti n^ple, whither he had been dispatched by Sir ROBERT WiLsox, at the critical period of the retreat of the French from Moscow. The Count had also been the bearer of dispatches to the same quarter. In their anxiety to rejoin Sir ROBERT WILSON, they could not be induced to postpone their passage till the weather moderated, and met their fate near Varna,after being many days at sea. Besides his friends, dragoons, and servant, Sir ROBERT WILSON must have lost much valuable and curious property on this melan;holy occasion.—The ravage of the plague had been dread ful : 250,000 are computed to have perished by this re' urge. it had, at the date of these advice., en tirely ceased. The dispatching of the thirteen Indiamen, and which compose the last fleet of the season for India, is postponed to Thursday next. The ships have all reached Portsmouth, except four, which were to sail yesterday from the Hope, for the usual rendezvous. ink al In br bl 6( ink w Ti.i.a( ANOTHER HELMOLAND MAIL. SURRENDER OF DAIMIC. A Heligoland Mail arrived this morning, but it does not enable us to confirm the intelligence of yes terday respecting the sortie from Magdeburgh. The substance of the intelligence from Hamburgh is how ever highly gratifying. There can be little doubt that Dantzic has fallen, and the French seem to have abandoned Magdeburgh to its fate, leaving a garri son of 1000 men only. The real cause for the sieges of Dantzic, Thorn, Stettin, &c. not being warmly prosecuted by the Allies is now ascertained. The garrisons are mostly composed of Germans, and it is the policy of the besiegers not to irritate their un fortunate brethren. We hasten to lay the gratifying intelligence before our Readers : " HAMBURGH, APRIL O. PRIVATE LETTER. " A courier from Prince Wittgenstein has jus brought the important intelligence that Dantzic hast surrendered to the Russian arms. No particulars whatever are yet arrived. The courier says that he was on the point of departing with other dispatches, when Prince Wittgenstein received the official ac count, and would not delay him any longer than to give him the simple fact—Dantzic is taken. We ex pect the particulars every hour ; if they arrive before the post goes, I will endeavour to send them. P. S. To be able to send the hoped-for particu lars of the taking of Dantzic, I have delayed as long as possible continuing my letter. I come this mo ment from the Secretary Of General Tettenborn, who informs me that they have not yet received any fur ther accounts, though in hourly expectation of them ; nor can those they have received be properly called official, though there can be little doubt of the fact itself.—The affair at Ottersburgh, though not of great importance in itself (the French lost 1 or 200 priso ners and 200 killed), was however brilliant, and a part of the Legion which was engaged behaved ex tremely well." with the most considerable Burghers, were present at cerenicsny, " For• the Ladies, who with true patriotic zeal, had embroidered these colours with equal elegance and expedition, was assigned, as a mark of respect justly due, a particular place near the Altar. The Rev. Dr.' Rambach, our Senior, held a discourse suitable to the occasion. The colours, after consecration, were taken back by the 2d Battalion of the Hanseatic Legion to the Hotel of his Excellency MAjor.General Baron Von Tettenborn." " ALTENBURCH, APRIL is. " The head-quarters of General Blucher are now here. This day the following order of the day was issued : " Major von Hellwig, of the Silesian regiment of hussars, formed the resolution to match on the 12th inst. on the Colleda road, in order to touch Langen Saalza with his squadron. After a march of 18 hours, he arrived there at midnight. The place was occupied by 1,700 infantry, 300 cavalry, and six pieces of cannon, under the Bavarian General Rech burg. Major von Hellwig attacked him at two o'clock in the morning, and as the Bavarian troops had received orders to march at four, they were all under arms, and therefore made an obstinate resistance.— He nevertheless succeeded in capturing two howitzers, three guns, one ammunition and two baggage wag gons, and about 20 horses. The enemy retreated towards en quarree of Waltershausen. Major Von Hellwig pursued him for an hour, then fell back upon Tenstadt. Lieutenant Von Trubenfeldt is wounded. Our loss is small : it consists of one sub altern and one hussar missing, two hussars severely wounded, and three or four hussars, with 10 or 12 horses, slightly wounded. Major Von Hellwig praises, the conduct of Lieutenants Trubenfeldt, Sawedsky, Borchert, and subaltern Schaale." " BERLIN, APRIL 20. 48 The Staff of his Royal Highness the Prince of Sweden is already arrived at Stralsund. His Royal Highness himself is expected there the 20th or 22d. The Russian troops advancing through East Prussia amount not to 45 but to 96 squadrons. On the fron tiers are 80 battalions, under Prince Labanou Von Rostow. In Westphalia the inhabitants are forbidden, under pain of death, to converse with the military in a manner tending to depress their courage." 4 4 Official accounts from Major General Von Thuemen (commanding the siege of Spandau) dated the 18th, advise, that on that day the garrison suc ceeded in setting fire to the Citadel, so that two sides, where the former old magazines were, are quite thrown down. 44 Our bombs had also set fire to a powder-maga zine in the Spree Bastion, so that it was demclished, and rendered unserviceable to the enemy." " LUNEBURG, APRIL 20. " General Montbrun was forced to Leave us on the 9th. In several houses money, in sums of 100, `2OO, and 300 dollars, has been extorted by threats. All obedience has ceased among the French soldiers, and the severest measures cannot put any check on their licencious and disorderly conduct. Almost the whole Russian-Prussian garrison marched out on the 16th, on the way to Celle. 44 It is known, that fresh troops have passed the Elbe, near Werben ; and the march of the troops here is supposed to be connected with this circumstance. Many Russians have marched through Nebzen, who, 1 it is said, passed the Elbe, at Lenzen. 86 Yesterday, a report was spread here that the, French were again advancing towards Luneburg. We hear now, that they had really advanced as far L as Helzen, but were today driven back by the Prus isians and Russians." 84 HELIGOLAND, APRIL 26. " A Gentleman who left Hamburgh yesterday, says, at his departure, the account of the capitulation of Dantzic had not been confirmed." The KING of PRUSSIA has issuod a Proclamation for a general pardon and amnesty to all Prussians in the service of Foreign Powers, but calling upon them to join the patriotic standard in Prussia within two months. Colonel RAINSPORD left town this morning for Portsmouth, to join the 19th regiment at Ceylon. It is supposed that the Hon. General A. HOPE, of the 74th regiment, will get the 47th, vacant by the death of General FITZPATRICK, and that General MONTPOMERY will get a regiment. Thursday the Roscommon Militia arrived at the Cove of Cork, from Plymouth, and having disem barked early in the morning, proceeded on to Mid dleton. Monday, the first division cf the 3d battalion of' the 27th, or Enniskilling regiment of foot, command ed by Lieutenant-Colonel NEYNoF, marched from Edinburgh Castle, on their route to Ayr barracks. A General Court Martial was held in Edinburgh Castle on Wednesday, the Sd of March, lbl3, and continued, by adjournment, till the 7th of April, when privates J. Fairlie, of the rifeshire Regiment of Militia, and privates R. Watson, P. Macartrey, W. Miller, D. Stewart, J. Boyle, A. Morris, and R. ander, of the Rentrewshire Militia, for bting con ! cerned in the riot and disturbance that took place at Perth, on the 19th of February last, were sentenced, the two first, viz. Fairlie and Watson, to receive 1000 lashes each ; and the other six to suffer six months so. litary imprisonment. Privates J. Gillenders and D. Taylor, of the Royal Per thshire Regiment of Militia, for taking an active part in certain proceedings and meetings of a seditious nature, were sentenced to re ceive WOO lashes each, SECOND EDITION. STAR OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK. Government have this instant received aspatchet from Mr. COCKBURN. the British Minister at Ham. burgh, deed the 24th instant, confirming the iim portant•and glmious intelligence of the Suanasota Of DANTZIC by Capitulation. Mr. Co( Kamm's 'Dispatches state, that an press had reached General TETTENOORN from neral WITTGLNSTEIN with the information ; and addl that a Bulletin, with the fall details, would be pub , lished next (Jay. The doubts which we expre,sefl respecting thi sortie from Magdeburgh are confirmed by the abov4 dispatches. A trifling sortie was really made on the 13th instant ; but it was for the purpose o saving a quantity of hay, and the besieged part 3 which came out was repulsed with great loss. Th 4 details will be found among oar extracts from tlu Hamburgh Papers. NAP.,II. IN7 EL LIGENCI. FALMOUTH, APRIL 27. Arrived the klope, irons Liverpool, bound to West Indies.—Wind N.E.

ANOTHER LETTER. ." Authentic accounts received at Berlin of the siege of Spandau, say, that Ave of the Russian and Prussian batteries have been so efficacious, that a great part of the wall of the citadel being thrown down, an armistice for six hours was the consequence. If the French Commandant does not surrender at six this evening, a storm will be attempted. From the citadel the enemy fire no more this morning (18th), but defend themselves behind the ramparts. " General Baron Winzingerode has published an energetic Proclamation, threatening to use reprisals whenever the French shall punish German subjects for having acted against them. " Major Hilliery, of the Slelsian hussars, has made a most daring attack with his squadron, on 1700 foot and 300 horse, with six cannon, at Langensalza, where hetenrived in the night of the 12th, after a march of 40 English miles. He attacked at two in the morning the enemy, commanded by the Bava rian General Rechberg, who, intending to march away at four o'clock, were on the alert, and made a warm resistance—yet he took two howitzers, three cannon, one ammunition waggon, two baggage wag gons, and more than twenty horses. The enemy re. tired en quarrev to Walterhausen. Our loss is incon siderable—one subaltern one hussar missing, two hus sars dangerously wounded, three or four hussars and 10 or 12 horses slightly wounded. Lieutenant Tra benfelds is wounded." " HAMBURGH, APRIL 24. " According to intelligence received here, the citadel of Dantsic has surrendered to the imperial Russian troops.

" By the attack of our cavalry the enemy, who was 3000 strong, wag forced to confine bis move menu to the high-road ; and the well-directed fire of our artillery, soon compelled him to make a speedy retreat. 46 The judicious conduct of Lieutenant-Colonel Von Benkendorff and the distinguished behaviour of Lieutenant Von Berg of the General Staff, Russ menko, of the Artillery, and Pawlow of the Issum Regiment of Hussars, which was the principal cause of the successful issue of the battle, deserve my thanks, which I herewith return those Gentlemen.
