P.IitISSIANS, ov .1111.411,144:11,. AT hiAOI)kitURGII. A Heligoland Mail arrived this morning, by which we hate received the important intelligence of a great vi:tory obtained by the Russian and Prussian armies over the French, near hlagdeburgh. By the follow., log account, it appears that the French made a sortie from the strong fortress of Mrigdeburgh, and. were iii.feated with the loss of THREE GENERALS aNd SEVENTEEN THOUSAND MEN. If the rcsult of this battle should have been so advantageous to the Allies, we can have no hesitation in saying, it Must greatly frustrate the designs of NAPOLEON. lIELIOOLAND, AralL 24.—A vessel has just ar rived, which leftAltona yesterday, at•cleven o'clock, the Captain states, that an .official account had been published at Ilamburgb, by General TettenboVn, on the morning of that day, announcing that the Frt.nch, having made a sortie from Magdeburg, were attacked by the combined Russians and Prussians, uho completely defeated them with the loss of three (;morals and 17,000 men. The Captain affirms thellulletin had been published, and caused universal joy in Ilatehurgh. _ _ Arum 23.—Divoust is again at• Luneburg— Dornberg rs on the alert, to prevent his passing the Elbe, with 7000 men. At Hamborgb all are learning the use of tuns ; some works of defence are thrown up on the river side; an order has been given that all vessels *.d crafts should be Arno Ted from the HanovVvian side of the Elbe over to Hamburgh, to prevent theimssi bility of his getting across below where Doroberg is posted. About '2OOO -Cossacks advanced as far as within four miles of Bremen; they posted themselves at Lilen ilial. A sortie was made from Bremen., and the Cossacks left the place ; they, however, made an at tack from another quarter, awl again drove the French out of Lilenthal, the whole of which was consumed by fire. The French retired to Bremen.— From Bremen we have no diree.t news, but by way of Cuxhaven we are informed, there were about 7000 17 - 2 n there, under Van Danune.—tiuth the old and a v town are in their possession. The beautiful plantations ou the ramparts have been cut down, and s.,nie works of defence have been thrown up on them, and outside of one of the gates. It reported a corps of Cossacks has crossed the Rica Weser, In Bremen 8000 dollars bare been again levied by the French. • On the 20t11 inst. a letter was sent from Mr. flier man to Gen. Tettenborn, accompanied by 6001. ster ling, the amount of a subscription raised on this small island, for the equipment of the Hanseatic Legion. Our GOvernor handsomely contributed to wards it, thus setting a noble example. II AMIICRGE, APRIL 20.—Oar armaments ger on excellently ; in ('he course of this week our citiien pard, composed of six battalions, will be cerl4inly organized. if.tunuastr, APRIL 20.--LAccording to authentic information, the first English ship which arrived here was neither detained by order of the Commandant at Gluckstadt, nor has any correspondence regard ing that vessel taken place between the Cern; maudant of this city and the High Precedency 'at Altona, as being a Court which had no concern with the business. RA -maw', Aram 43.—0 n the 3d inst. his Whitey, ' nir King (of Bavaria), arrived here between two avid ton e o'clock, accompanied by his Royal Rightlak Prince Charles, in the strictest incognito, to pay st.. l visit to their Saxon Majesties, with whom they spent the whole of the evening. They likewise dined and spent the evening with them on the foll;Aving day. At four o'clock yesterday morning his Majesty again left our city and returned back to Munich. STARGARD I APRIL B.—Yesterday a bloody affair took place near Damm, between the Prussian ad vanced guards and the o gnrrison, which made a sally, in which 40 men were killed, and nearly 100 wound ed, on our side. The French were, however, forced to retire back to Drain, as our people fought like lions. The greater pare of the beautiful village was destroyed by fire, and it is almost entirely ruined. ;~"- - -nil= o'r vnw W.zni; 4 'rood that two distingele the Oidenborgh ter' ""Vin Berger l - were . tt4tultdasion t and shot, L BRESLAU, Aratii.

" His Majesty the Emperor of Russia and his Ma jesty the King of Prussia, have been pleased to ap point a Council of Government for . Northern Ger many, for the purpose cf introducing unity, con nection, and-uniformity late the mvanagimmieS.of the concerns of that country, and in the io•operation of all its several parts. This Council of Governments is particularly Authorised to come to a proper , under taking with the different Government concerning every thing relative to the Police, the Finances, the Armaments, and other objects which may teed as well to general security as to the support and increase of the armies that are fighting for the recovery of the independence of Germany.

Signrd) ' " Prince KU I'UtiOFF. OF SMOLENSK. • " " Field-Maraliul General and Causarandet-Chief of. die Allied Army." . . . The Princess of WALES continues further to gain upon the good opinion of • the English people: Her answer of yesterday to the Address of'the City of London, will be read by every lover of his country and its Constitution with the most pleasing emotions. The last paragraph in it, in part'cular, cannot be con- templated but with. ideas of what might be:the proud condition of 'England, if the sovereign's Ministers felt' the force of its language, as the - Addressers must have done. After speaking of the trials her mind has undergone, slie - ,•with a degr.a of sublimity, says,— " they will confirm in my daughter's mind that at tachnient to the Constitution which she already che rishes, and impress her mere and More with the con viction, that no station tan 'he secure except in a free country : it is kotb the intereit and the most sared I duty of an English . niehnirati if;iilefi' :gale liber: • • ties of the peoOle." . . _ Whether these are the ApontanPoos effosions of her Royal flightless, or the adopted sentiments of able and wise Counsellors, we can only say we wish her Royal Consort were similarly disposed, 9r similarly ADVISED. We cannot help regarding with an eye of interest the sort of a►:itnadversion which the Chronicle threw out on the speech of the worthy and patriotic Alder. nsan WOOD, upon the subject of the Princess of !ALEs's-escape from the harpy claws of calumny; and we still see the groundunder his feet unshaken. Lawyers may talk of precedents 'and practice, if they please, and even of " the uniform: practice of Government," &c. but we go so far as to say, that the practice of the Cabinet is nothing in a Constitu. tional point of view—nay, that the word Cabinet it self was never imagined by those who planned the Constitution. We have long complained of the mischief done to our country by the sophistry of the Ministerial Journals. The writers in. the Courier, &c. wish to be thought loyal by the tone and tenor of their lan guage, and would have it understood, that those of. their cotemporaries who adopt an independent strain 1 1 of reasoning are deficieot in that best 'quality of a i Britain. LOYALTY; not perverted, implies regard to the Constitution of the country ; but what regard 1 to the Constitution do the people we complain of i manifest? They never .arraign the violaters of it, not speak of the necessity of reforming its abuses. — Now and then a solitary instance may occur, in which the limes may complain of the weakness of certain Ministers, where their incapacity is to shamefully de. ficieat u to strike the dullest capacity ; but this* only done from a certainty that the change,whicb they' sometimes expect must be certain and even sadden,, will promote their particular interests. Such 'peen., laton, therefore, piny on volved, and, with a degree ' of nonchalance and .seeming indifference, may chaunt Trot, Tyriusoe, &c. for, let which party so ever prevail, 'they partake of the spoils. A terrible reckoning these panderi to power—these traitors to', their country—will have to make up one day or . other. They make the task of the honest patriot laborious and - almost hopeless—they dispose him almost to exclaim— Yesterday Count STRAOFIP, who arrived in Lon don on Sunday, from Germany, was introduced to the PRINCE REctrif by Count MuNrrEtt, and had an audience of his Royal Highness for a considerable time. The Duke of CUMBERLAND left town yesterday to ' proceed on his way to Berlin: His Royal highness left his apartments in Rt.
