"l'he Isle of Tenedos has been attacked by the Russians, but hitherto the efforts of the Russian squadron, and the troops on board it s have been without effeZt. Two English couriers have been arrested wi , h the correspondence of the English Minister, Mr. Ar buthnot. with his dragoman, and with the English dragoman who resides at Budharest. The annexed curse's from these letters, chew the bad situation of the Russian army ; and the piece sit! j lined, the good disposition which animates the Pone. [Long extras are added from these intercepted letters, signed Summ•rer, and dated Bucharest the 10 h, 11th, 20th, and 21st of February.] The pieces subjoined are orders issued by the Porte, to the Pachas and Governors of the dife►ent provinces, islands and cities of the Empire, notify. ing the war with England, and proh;biting any trade with the English. M. Mechin, the French Ccn;rl at the Darda nelles, writes word, that the forts are in the best state of defence. That the English, sqcsdron on its return to Malta, was met at *fen.:dos by the Russian squadron, and that disputes had arisen be tween the Commanders of the two squadrons. The English appeared very dissatisfied with the quarrel in which they had engaged the Turks on account of the Russians. ..

Russia h:s tailed in her negotiation: for a separate peace with the Poste and Persia. K.

We learn here, with certainty, that a great mis understanding prevails among the chiefs of the expedition, which has failed against this capital ; Sir Sidney Smith and Rear-Admiral Louis, have accused Admiral Duckworth, to their Government, of having humiliated and disgraced the English name, before Constantinople; and of having, by his miscondutt and mistakes, occasioned between Eng land and the Porte,' a rupture, which leaves no mode of accommodation. 'The Turkish fleet has received orders to enter the Black Sea, to seek and attack three Russian ships of the line, which are there. NAPLES, APRIL 19.

We feel the greatest impatience here to know what effcct the late events in Pomerania will prcduce on the mind of the King of Sweden, and on the policy of his counsels. It is already known, that the armistice concluded by Baron Essen has been rad- Bed by his Sovereign ; and it is not doubted that it will be prolonged for more important nerciations. —(Gatrlee de France.) THE BRITISH PRESS. 1 SILGE OF D4N7ZIC. An official report of the operations of the siege of Darlene, to the 10th of April, signed by the Saxon Grneral Von Cenini, gives the following particulars : In the night between the 10th and 11th of April, the French and Saran troops stormed a redoubt situ ated en an eminence before the Oliva Gate, which might have prevented the advance of the trenches. This redoubt was the next night res•ored with still greater care by the garrison. In the night of the 12th, it was again taken, and the troops which defended is were made prisoners. Early the following morning, the garrison made a sortie, and drove the Sazan troops from the redoubt. Marshal Lefebvre hastened in person to the support of the latter, the redoubt was instantly retaken, together with 112 prisoners. Amid such a heavy fire of musketry and artillerY, the loss on both sides could not fail of being consi derable. The communication between the city and the mouth of the Vistula being yet open, the besiegers resolved to throw up a fort between them at the jmtetion of the canal of Laake with the river. Not withstanding the danger of the enterprise, it was executed by the combined troops in the night be. tween the 15th and 16th, and not only a covered way of 400 paces was thrown up, but likewise a redoubt. About nine in the morning of the leth, the garrison of Dantzic made an attack, with 1000 Russian troop, on these winks. They were deiend ed by t5O French, Saxon, and Polish trtmps, wi'h• out cannon, under the command of Geneva! Gar. danne, who attaclud the Russians with such spirt with the bayonet, that they were totally routed. A reinforcement of 12 dr 1500 Prussians from the city covered the Russians, who were totally dis persed, and renewed the atta:k. This conflict, which lasted till four o'clock, was one of the mo-t ob s tinate of any that have occureil during the s ege; hut notwithstanding the uncommonly heavy fire, the fort was maintained. Ihe loss of the Pru dans and Russians, on the occasion, is computed at 400. Redoubts are now eraticd on both hanks of the Vitula, which can mutually support each other, and render the passage impradlicahle. On the 17th, three•masted vessel entered the Vistula, under all ' sail, and opened a tremendous fire on the stew re doubt, bat the heavy fire from it obliged her as well as another vessel, to sheer off the same day. FOREIGN IN rELLIGENCE. rAIIIS, MAY 9. The ALni:ew of this day contains thirteen new Decrees, given at the Imperial Camp at Osterode, on the .:3tii, VS h. 27th, and 2tth of March, consist ing of Military Promotions made by His Majesty. Among them is that of M. Grabiniky, Colonel of the fira regiment of Polish Infantry. at Naples, who is appointed General of Brigade; and the no mination of a great number of Officers for the first Legion of the North. M. Ca:lard. who has iiled with distinftion several diplomatic missions, and whn has been for some years chief of the division of archives, in the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, died on the 6th of this month. The Minister Plenipotentiary from His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon, to the Court of Denmark , passed through Brussels on the 4th of this month, on the way to his place of destination. They write from Ait-la•Chapelle, that the Pre. fea-General has announced to the Consultative Chambers of that Department, that all English merchandize has been prohibited throughout all the Ottoman Empire. This measure, by txcluding the English manufaaures horn the commerce of the Levant, prevents any dangerous competition with our manufactures, and secures to them the advan tage of supplying alone the Turkish provinces.— Thus the threats and violence mocised by the English Government towards the Porte, to force it into the coalition. and ruin the commerce of France, has ended only in drawing closer the bonds which unite those two powers, to secure to the products of our industry an important issue, and to shut against the English merchants all she ports 01 A vast Empire.

His powers, we are far. ther assured, are seriatim, the same as those with which the Earl of LAVDCRDALK was invested on his mission to Paris. We received, at a late hour last night, Paris Papers to the 12th inst. including the Moil, str, and several of the unofficial Journals.

The Busty carried over, a few days ago. the Lady of Colonel HALL. of the 9th Regiment. wrecked near the coast of France in the winter GE 1805. He has been a prisoner ever since. It is stated, upon the authority of the soldiers who were put on board the cartel, during her stay in the hm bout of Morlaix, that last week some men of war, with troops on board, got nut of Brest; but they did not know whither they were bound. On the cartel's passage to Plymouth, she fell in with ants spuke the Jarea:ea frigate, all well, standing el. , channel. The Jamaica had detained and sent le; Guernsey, a neutral, laden with a cargo, supposed French property ; and the Jamaka's boats, close in shore with the French coast, had cut out a French lugger, a chaise maree, laden with brandy and wine, which the Jamaica had sent for an English port. On the 30th of April, Major-General Count Von iILRNSTOI7, youngest brother to the Danish Prime Minister, was arre4ted at Hamburgh, by sore French ;:en , d'etries, by order of Marshal Banat; Out was detained only till he was informed of the cause of this insult, which was his having neglefteJ to poi: off his hat to the. Marshal, as the latter was passing through the ladies' walk to his head-qua:. sets. It is reported that Count atiIISTORI has sent him a spirited challenge. Yester.lay morning we received letters and papers from Gibraltar, to the 21st last, and from Malta to the 15th of March. A letter from the Utter place, dated March 13th, says:— " It appears, that after our Ambassador had rs. turned to Constantinople, to open a new conference, he gained the information that the Pears intend.d to seize him, his family and suite, with all the Eng• lish residents (together with the kadimsaa frigav). aid to confine their persons in the Seven Tower., a. hostages for tie tontine of our squadron.
