Tuesday the 213th instant, a Deputation, consist• ing of the Magistrates And Liverymen of this city was admitted to His Majesty's presence, and pt esent e I an humble Address, the prayer of which was, 41 That His Majesty would be graciously pleased to avert the dangers of war from the walls of Stral sund, and restore to Poinetania the blesLings of Peace." His Majesty answered, that as the Magistrates and Cit:z:ns were undoubtedly convinced of his grad- Qui seniments towards them, he, on the other, depended implicitly on their fidelity and attach ment to his person and Government ; that His Majesty would do every thing in his power to avert from his faithful subjeas the perils of war, and had fur that purpose, en the 14th instant, proposed an armistice to the Commanding French General ; in answer to which the Fiends Com mander had demanded that Stralsund should be garrisoned by the enemy's troops, a rErnand which Hi* Majesty could not agree to, either on his own account, nor on that of his loyal Pomeranian &ahjeas ; that while His Majesty assured there of his gracious proteltion, he must on the other hand request that they performed their duty as f.ittiful subjeas, with tranquility and resignation. The line of baste ship Gustacus la. arrived on the Oat inst. at Perth, in Rugen, with detachments of the royal regiments of A Jorlaus, Rierneborg, and Ryland, under the command of Colonel Palmfels, Chief of Brigade. By His Majesty'. rno.,t gracious command, our heavy ordnance began yesterday, at two o'clock in the afternoon, to play upon the enemy's works from the entrenchments, from a di vision of gun-boats, and Darholm's battery on the beach. The King was pleased to express his satis faftion with the manner in which the cannonade was conduCted, and ordered that, during the night, scattered shots should be fired from the entrench ments and the division of gun-boats, in order to prevent the enemy from repairing the damage done during the day.— (Gatew.durgi Gaselo, Aag.

The Prime Primate, es the 30 h ult. lef: this city LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 18. Dispatches were received, yesterday, at the Ad miralty, from Admiral GAMSIIIt, clatf.ti the 9th instant. The whole of the fleet under his coni mand, and the transports, had joined. A very few days will therefore bring us decisive inteil:r.nre. The Admiral has , irs pendants under his command, with near 30,000 troops. On the Ist of August the Rochfort squadron put to sea, but were soon for , •ed to take shelter under the batteries of the Isle D'Ais, by Sir RICHARD STRACUAN. The Hell Alvrtiser published in a Second Edition, on Saturday, the following intelligence from the Expeditions : After our parser went to !weir, the Wilberfn.ce, no, wood, arrived here, which vessel left the Sound on Wedneolay se'tl. night. Fr.am h..r we leant, that our Sunday the inst. A miral Gambier's Nest, consiaing of 14 sail of the ltn... 3:ul five or. s'ix (noes, came in sight of the 531.1114, and bron4li..to off the Cult; next inorittig they arrived in Elsinore Roads, and drew up in line of battle, in which positron they were lelt when the Witherforce ca a' away. No hostile up, nutimle whatever had taken place, new was there any like:i bmd of it, Out the first apprtranz.: of the Hart in the Cattegat, instructions were a i rphe 1 for to the Court of Co. penhagen, as to the manner which the Commander of the Dutch furtre.s was to act ; and in return he was ordered nut to attempt nil:sting their passing the Sound. The Prince of Wales, Admiral Gambier's flag-ship, saluted the battery as she passed, which was returned by the Danes. The pop-- lace seemed in be very favourably di , yo.e.l intuit& sue peopl. The magnitude of the fevers thus sent into the tinkle, and the anyedirien with which it hal been prepared, created much asmnishroent. Admiral Essington, with eight sail of the line and several fr gates, stoop, of war, transports, scc. was bung in the Belt The Crown Prince of Deem i.k was with the army in Ito!. stein ; and the Danes were wholly unpreparad to t,lfer any re.istance. It was generally supposed that our troops would take possession of the Wand of Zesl.intl 1 but is,. •t:ps towaols such a measure hal been adopted, when the Wilbatio , ce came Away. The Wilberfarce passed a fleet of 70 sail of large transports off the /inhale, (rent the Channel, full of troqps; also about 30 tail of transport; off the Lessae, under protection a 74 g uu ship, the latter ere supposed to be that part of the Gowan Legion that embarked at this place; likewise passed some other ships of the Lae, frigates, and transports, in the Ca•- ttpt and Sleeve. A Gottsnburgh Mad arrived yesterday, with letters and papers from that city to the 12th instant. The account of the proposition for an Armistice, by the King of Swenan, and of its rejedion by the French, who demanded the surrender of Stralsund, as the price of their compliance, is officially an nounced in a Bulletin published at that place on the 31st last. This official communication was drawn from the King of Swznas by a deputation of the Magistrates and principal inhabitants, reque.aing him to restose peace to Pomerania, or in oeitir words, to throw himself at the feet of BONApART i:. It is pretty obvious from this circumstance, tliat people of Stralsund are not animated with the spirit that glows in the breast of their gallant Sovereign, and that they are as pusillanimous as their Prussian neighbours. who surrendered fortresses deemed impregnable, upon the mete scaimons of the enemy. The people of Stralsund are perhaps less excusable than those of Magdeburg, and of Spandau. They have the vresence of a army, and a British fleet, to nford courage ar.d assistance. and in the last extremity to in,nie a safe retreat.
