Of du numerous consct ips expeaed to join the French army, only between 3 and 4,000 have as yet arrived, which have been distributed among the different regiments. The greater part of them are lit other than boys, and they all express the greatest dissatisfaaion at the war.

It is said, that France did not oppose this proposition, declaring that she wished for a General Peace. The principle of compensations was then proposed as the bids of Peace. and some general articles were even discussed ; all these propositions have been communicated to the Courts of London and Stockholm, but their answers have not yet been received. l'he letters from Pola'.J say, that these communications have been made through the medium of Aids-de-Camp, but that no diplomatic conferences have yet taken place.

The intelligence which our Court has received from Silesia states. that in conseluence of the want of ammunition, the corps employed in the siege of Neiue has been compelled to suspend the bornbarJ ment of the fortress ; but as supplies have beer re ceived from Schweidnita, the siege will be continued with the greatest ativity. We are informed that the Diet of Hangary have demanded the establishment of a new constitution, conformable to the enlightened state of the present age. ♦tit, MAY 26 Letters from Malta. dated the 2kih of April, CCM. firm the Account of the dismuSark.ition of the Eng lish in Lgypt ; but add. that tlig had afterwards sustained some reverses, and that th.y had sent to &oily for immediate succours. . _ MICA, MAY 15.

Tlio following detail is 4:Jutainel is a letter from a young gentlemen to his relatives in Edinburgh "5.11,, m...uth of the Vs.tula, May S . Gi We arrived at Eisin >re, on Thursday, the with of April, .:fter a very pleasant passage. Tits same day, Capt. CHI:IMAM received orders to proceed immediately to DaIIIZIC, as Me trench had laid siege to it; according;y, we sailed by day-break, on Fri day, in company with the faken sloop of war, Capt. Saaosas, and the Chdrlcs armed brig, Capt. Cc i• fl 4 ANC We anchored in Copenhagen Roads, at 11 a.m. sad the Captains went ashore to rcceiva their instru3ions. We weighed again in the e►ening, with a good breeze, arad came-tu in Danthic bay on sun dry afternu .n. Thc French and Prussians had an engagement that night, which lasted tiU about half past 1 l &cluck. They have made Averal attempts • to storm the place; but were driven back with con siderable loss each time. The third day after our arrival, the passage from Fair-water (a small town at the mouth of the Vistula) up to Dantaic, was stopt, by reason of the French getting possession of the bat teries along the banks of the river. It was then agreed upon, that we should bring the ship into the harbour, and try to drive tbem out of their entrench ments. Accordingly, on Thursday we got off a pilot, and brought the ship into the Fair.water, where we lay all that night ; and on Friday morning we be gan to lighten her, in order to get her up the river. We got up at four in the 24T13000 above the boom way, about a mile from the place where the French were lying ;at half-past six we hove-to under the batit-ries, when a desperate engagement ensued, not above 20 fathoms from them. We did not know ex attly the number of the enemy ; but the nearest we can judge, we think there must have been from two to three thousand. Their principal fire was musketry, with several pieces of artillery ; one of which we dis mounted in the beginning of the aaion. The dark ness of the night gave the enemy a great advantage over ns: likewise four of our gun-breecliings gave way, which slackertedour fire a good deal. After an AZA+OII of two hours and a half, we were obliged to Istri off, having our First Lieutenant, and seventeen of Our men badly wounded. 'liters are upwards of a thousand shot boles in the ship's side; likewise the mass, sails, and rigging, are very much injured : oar signal hanlyards were twice shot away. and the colour, hr—vght down, se: that at last we had to lash J'y ' this round the spanker-bs‘. We do not esAftl7 know the loss Cie enemy sustakied; but, by a desert er from them, we were told, that th,:y had 300 kill ed, and a great number wounded. The inhabitants here are very much reduced for tr.int of provisions, there being none t be had for money. There are two or three ships, loaded with provisions and ammu nition, in the Fair -water, (the latter they are also very much in want i.f), but they are afraid to venture up the river win them. Ws are expeiing that we will have to take them up to the town in the Sally, as it Will be inspossible fur the inhabitants to hold out the siege much longer without them. We are in daily expedations of a reinforcement of troops here, which will be of great service. The French keep up a con tinual fire, both night and day, at the town; it has been calculated% that no leu than 20,000 shot and shells have been thrown into it, in the course of the last eight days. There base been a great many houses driven down, and set on fire, by the bursting of the shells upc! them; likewise, numbers of the inhabitants have been killed in the streets, by the great quantity of '11(4 iii lug al.out in all dire:linn., from the (limy'.
