MARCH 21. A King's eutter arrived on Friday from Heligoland, btin.;- ing the important information of Hamburgh having been evacuated by the French forces; and that in consequence the commercial intercourse between that island and the Con tinent was reestablished. No less than twelve boats arrive , at once from the coast, with Metchandize, letters and papers The reason of the enemy evacuating so important a vst as Hamburph, obviously arises from the necessity of concen trating all their forces at Magdeburg, to resist the trium phant advance of the Russians, and the growing strength of the German patriots. It is stated th it the Russians are in possession not only of Warsaw and Berlin, but ever! of a es den; that the Emperor Alexander is gone to meet the King of Prussia at Breslau ; and that the Austrians have int mated to Buonaparte, that he must withdraw his armies within the Rhine; as a preliminary step to a negociation for a general peace. It is confidently declared, that General D'Yorck, as Commander-in-Chief of the Prussian at mies. occupied Berlin, on the sth instant. A body of Cossacks had been pushed as far as Wittenburgh on the Elbe, about half-way between Magdeburgh and Dresden, as early as the with ult.; in con sequence of which, the King of Saxony took the alarm, and fled to Plauen, about 120 miles from his capital, having dispatched his family about 70 miles further, to Bayreuth.— Insurrections are general throughout Prussia, and numerous new battalions have, in consequence, been raised in the Prussian territories. It is said, that all the peasants in the neighbourhood of the Hans Towns and Hanover, arc arming; and that the French soldiers on the coast are so fearful of venturing into the interior, that they have procured flat bottomed boats at Cuxhaven, with a view of stealing aktig the shallows which border those shores, until they can reach a place of safety. SIDNEY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE.—Fiiday the trial of Mr. Kendal, charged with setting fire to the College, com menced at the Cambridge Assizes. Before the SOLICITOR GENERAL bad finished the cro s s-examination of Patters::n. the watchman, such a scene of perjury was displayed, that Mr. Kendal was immediately acquitted. DRURY LANE THEATRE.—Last night, Mr. ELR!NGTON, %AI() some since attenved the part of Jag°, at Covent Gar den, and failed, performed the part of Lawson in tire :ambler.
