CIVIr jRE OF STRALSUND AN"; DEATH OF STRALSUND, JUNE 5, 1809. TO HIS MAJESTY TALE KING OF HOLLAND. " SIRE !—I have - already had the honour to inform your `Alajesty, that the troops under my caminand had made them selves ma-ters of Stralsund. I have now to communicat,‘ to you the details. On the 23d I proceeded from • I,tioenhurg, and crossed the Me at Soisprecker, in order to cover the Haase Towns, drive Schill from Mecklenburg, and gain possession of Dommits ; or bring the garrison of that place between me and General Albignac. This Geuer,gl did take Dommitz, and after wards returned to Alherstad. It being probable that the enemy had made himself master of 100,000 pounds of pow,.. t, and that he would repair to Stralsund, in order to defend Manse& there, I requested the Danish General Ewald to s!rengthen my lef . wing by a column of 1501 men; with which he coMplied. Schill was master of all Mecklenburg : be, had levied contributions, and raised a number of recruits. He possess'd the country from Wismar to Rostock; fr6rn whence he ItaZ driven the Merklenburg garrison, and taken a number of arms stud pieces of cannon, from 12 to 6 pounders. In the harbours of those two twns belied embarked his sick and wounded in 32 t•esel.s, each of which contained 15 men on board, though they would have held 200 a piece: a prior that he wanted the vessel for other purposes. When Schill ai:. , .ndoned his post to me, 4e of necessity threw himself behind the Regnitz, which was in two places defended by Mecklenburg troops. Ile forced a bridge at Darclutw ► and attacked and took prisoners soiree troops stationed at Dansgarten. He then proceeded to Stralsund, which he entered ua the 28th Of May. Ile teok. the French and Mecklenburgeti who were there prhoners of war, committed . thelereatest cruelties in the town, add murck..red several Frerrh men with bis own hand. having delivered the whole of Meck lenburg. I crossed the Regnitz at Daingarten, and at ten.o'clock, of the morning of the 31,t, I, together with the Danish troops strider General rwald, came befoce Stralsund. Thoitgh the foctificationt of the pl.:ce had been rained, yet there remained br4td and deep ditch full of water; and Schill with incredible ardour availed himself of the situation. by cutting trenches acros,the roads, building drawbridges, planting heavy artillery, dm The town was defended by 5 at 6000 men. They consisted of 1 000 caviilry , of which 800 were Schill's regiment; all the old S tedish deserters, who served the artillery; some foresters, and co intrynten of the different countries le bad crossed through, and w now be bad compelled to go with him; neatly 1590 of the Po liseranian m lit ia who had joined him, Priissiau and Austrian de serters, and people of all ',hitt, collected together; and lastly, a part of the Mecklenhergh troops he cad taken prisoners, and who afterwards turned their arms against us. Schill had armed al-I his men with ire-locks. Navin„ to cover my desi4its, made a. false shack upon the Tripsee gate, I ordered :Ile principal attack It he made upon the Knieper gate, the hora-wOrk of which was defended h 18 eanoon of large calibre, and nine tither h•eces, tr high m•tintained a file. I ordered a sudden n•.ault to .e made. The Bth regiment, led by Colonel Behr, advanced fi•st, and was followed by the 9th, under Colonel Veziet, )(ie Majesty's Aide-dc-Camp. He penetrated into the tow n. not. ithstanding the most obstinate resistance. The enemy, how. •v•-r, formed in the town. They fired from the houses, and the cielier ()fever) street was the scene of a new engagement. Every *here they fought man to man, foot to foot, with great fury. - _ k part of the• Much, and the whole of the. Danish curer . . , fought with Still cavalr‘. In the mean w hile .he 4:tut-ries let bt een the I'repsee and the Dnieper gates continued to tiae-upritt those of our troops, whici were !otill oat of the town. Farther eogagements took place till the enemy wns driven front all his. guns. At length, after a severe battle of two hours, the enemy was evory where in Hight, and our victory was comp!ete. The less of the enemy is lite% pressible. Schill and 20 of kis oific-era tire killed. Eight hundred were made prisoners. Every day discovers more of them, who were concealed is the homes. They are almost all wounded. The streets were filled with lead bodies. 0n..! hundred and ninety-two of Sebill's follou ern escaped. Of these there were 13 Flu , s - tr officers, 0i whom seven had been lately app Anted by Sciaill,lsB hussars, ants 13 fusileers. These begged rrosission to return to Prussia, which I allowed„ and caused them to be conducted by two staff officers. Whec a they came to the frontiers, they bound themselves by writing Yo submit to any punishment the King of Prussia might inflict. It is to be observed, that of the 46 officers who left Bolls; with Schill, 12 have been since killed, and seven are wounded or pri soners. [ Here follow eulogies on the different officers, comp:tnies, Ate.] We have set at liberty some Mecklenhurgers awl french eau noniers. The 6th regiment has taken in the Islaed of Mogen a flag and six pieces of cannon, belouging to the Duke of Mecklen burg ; and at StraVand 60,000 pounds of powder were taken, which had been'sent frtftn Denmark. We have lost Lieutenant-General Cartaret, two lieutenant colonelt:, hr ides tv..elve commissioned officers killed and wound ed, 30 non-commissioned officers and privat.)4 are killed, and 153 vvolindefl. The t)anes have lost two officers and three soluiers killed, seven officers and forty-seven soldiers wounded. This day, Site, has been glorious to your Majesty's troops. Ilnd Schill obtained lIASSCtSiOII of Stralsund, and fortified himself there, it would linee been difficult to dispossess him ; he might have raised contributions throughout Pomerania ano Meelc'eJ .barg; and by mean!: :vessels, which were here at his dispos he might have bccu a d7aigernus pirate in the Baltic ;.and, case of necessity, he would have even had the means of brlu n itig the English into the con:ineot. Schill was killed near the great square of Stra4sund. l; is death has been well. soot hehticated..! Among the dead has also been recognised Colonel Von Molike l , the same who summoned Stralsund. The project of Sebill was exteni. : .v . e. He bad already declared himself Sovereign of Po merania, as your Alnjesty will sea by the proclamation he caused to.be printe:t on the 30th ult. the publication.or which asy:ste rival vie vented.
