B4NKS OF THE ELBE, MAY 27,--You .Will see, in the papers of yesterday, that accordi na -to the French accounts, various attempts to relieve ° Dantzic have failed, and the assailants been driven back with loss. That Dantzie is neither relieved nor taken, We must believe; but everyinformation of the pre tended circumstances of the siege, we are entitled to receive with great distrust. We all know how Ili tle the Official Bulletins of the French ... have merited credit since the war has beep carriecLon in.. Poland, yet certain decencies are preierved; in these- State Papers : but the Telegraph has no restraint what ever ; and it is from this, the impurest'of channels, that the greater part of this post's intelligence is ar rivi.d. We will; therefore, not torment atirseliies by critically examining petty relations, but wait for some of those incidents which speak with sutlitient clearness, and the reSults`of which Cannot be denied by any sophistry, or thr6wn out of sight by any Misstatements. " It seem scertaitT that the French — will a& on the defensive tilt bantzic shall have fallen. Should this • city a t length._ be for Ced ;to yield, the importance of Stralsund and its Sovereign to the common cause will be greatly raised; and I rejoice to say, that there are no grounds for su,peaing the loyalty or firm= ness of thii Monarch, or of his friendly co-operation With the Allies. The failure of the attempts' to terrify him into submission, or to sednce-his - people - from their loyalty; have rendered the eStablishment of the Army of Observation, under Marshal BRUNE, an acct of necessity. The Marshal has established his headluarters.at Stettin, an excellent position on the Oder for resisting any attack : from Poinerania ; and the force alreagy colle6ted under him, is, I fear, numerous enough — to bid.defiance to any- turce that will probably be brought against hitn.•• " In the mean while,_tfie more distant prospects • %tithe back ground are less promising than they were. Angola,' it • seems, is disposed to maintain her neu trality ; and, according to newspaper intelligence, Saxony will he forced to send the whole of her army to fight the battles of the common enemy of her Country ' " Nothing can resist such combination of power' on the part of the Enemy, and such a dereliction on the part of thbse' Who ought to be our Allies, without a.geuerous sacrifice of partial interests, and a liberal • policy on the part of a few, who still dare to assume the - upright step and elevated look of Freemen. One —circumstance has given great pleasure to the friends Of the good cause here : it is announced in the Papers that Baron HARDENBERO (who, it is under stood, has at length surceeded in driving froM the Councils of the King of PitcssrA the perfidious Counsellors who had driven him into the gulph in which he now lies,) has formed a Council at Memel of four persons, who may be considered as the aelive Ministers, One of these is Mr. NIEBUI-IR, Son of the celebrated traveller. This .Gentleman is equally distinguished for his profound and varied knowledge, his abilities, and his almost passionate zeal against NAPOLEON and France, - during the latter years of her disgraceful revolution ; though in the more promising period of this wonderful scene of events, Mr. N. ranked among the enthusiastic friends of the new order of things. Mr. NIEBUHR is well known', here : he is an Holsteiner by birth, has hitherto been in a public employ at Copenhagen, where he would probably have remained, - if pure philanthropy had not compelled to offer his ser vices to Prussia in the hour of her calamity. His aPpointment is considered as a decisive . proof that the King of PRUSSIA is fixed . • determination to fall heroically, if he it-isi fat), by o}e side of his Imperial Ally, without liStening to the . perfidious offers which are daily making by BoNAPARTE. " In' the long interview which General BLUCHER had with NAPOLEON, the Emperor, stated his readi ness'to restore the King of Prussia to his dominions, if he would join his standard---concluding, If, however, he persists in joining the Emperor ALEX ANDER, rely upon it I will drive him from the last village 'hepossesses, and leave him without an acre of territory.' C'est que nous tlcAerons d'empecher, vas the simple reply of the brave General. This We shall try to prevent.' " " But to come nearer home: the absence of Ilarshal BRUNE, M. Ds FAUVENCOURT, Colonel . of the Gens d'Armes, become Commandant of Ham burgh; where also Mons. General DtJMONCEAU, who is a Dutch Marshal, has taken up his head quarters, with his Staff, at the head of which. is the General of Brigade CARTERET. There is be tides at Hamburgh not more than a single Dutch battalion. " Altona becomes 'daily the resort of the more illustrious of the, German .Bmigra nts. Count Wl..- 11 0 DEN has for some time resided:, there ; and if not a&ually arrived, there are expelled hourly to arrive there the Duchess of BRUNSWICK OELS,sister to the Empress of RUSSIA, from . Malmoe ; and.the Duchess Dowager Of BRUNSWICK, sister to your King, from Schleswick." VIENNA, MAY 3.—The Emperor and Archduke CHARLES are not expe6ted back from Hungary until a few , days hence. Mr. ADAIR, the English Minister, has been re called, but will probably remain here until his suc cessor shall have arrived. MUNICII, MAY 14.—Oar Court went this day into mourning until the 27th inst. on account of the death of the late Empress of Austria. It was on the t7th of last month, that the Aus trian Expedition, which was destined for Cataro, arrived at Triete. One battalion of the-regiment of !

NICE, MAY 15.—An English Frigate, which has been cruizing off this Port for some days, made an attempt last night to cut .out a Genoese Polacre. About eleven o'clock at night four Boats, from the Frigate, each with 25 men, attacked the Polacre. —They were received as we are accustomed to re ceive the English in every part of the Empire. The Polacre W 215 so well defended, that, after an. action of two hours, one of the Boats was sunk, and three others were forced to retreat towards the Fri gate. One of the men who was on board the Boat Which sunk, was saved by the Cr,ew: of the Polacre. _ PARIS, MAY 2 i.—The Moniteur, , of this day, con tains the continuation of the journal of the siege of Dantzic; from the 30th April to the Bth,of May, when the besieged are stated to have evacuated'the covered ways, and Lnerely to occupy the Block houses. The besiegerS l ore also said to have severely battered the Blockhouses in the night between the 7th 'arid sth of May, and shattered the palisadoes of the ditches. COPENHAGEN,•MAY 23.—0 n the 18th an English Cutter Brig, bound for the Baltic, arrived in the Sound, and immediately proceeded on her voyage ; soon after a Convoy arrived from London; escorted by. two Sloops acid a Brig, on board one of these Ships was an English General. The new French Envoy, M. DIDLOT, arrived at Kiel on the I.lth instant, and came hither on the 20th. The Captain of a Ship who passed vpry - near to Dantzic on, the 1 7th-' inst. heard the bombardment very clistinaly. It is said that the Russian Head.:quarters have been removed from Bartenstein to .Heilgenheil. A Norway Captain who left Pillau on the 19th, reports, that the Prussians have been defeated in se veral engagements on the Nehrung, and that the French, by means of Prussian vessels they had taken, had obtained possession of The Moniteur of the-25th of May, contains a let ter from Philadelphia, respeatifig Colonel Bvnit, hut no intelligence from the armies.

Immediately on the Surrender of the Briti , :i troops at &leans Ayres, the Spaniards, fearful of a-. fresh attack on the place, detached their prisoners, under a strong guard,. to. the interier—someaccounts say 200, others xOOO, miles up the: Country.

CooKE, was re presented there again last night, and he yesurned his performance of the venerable monarch. Upon the whole, he gave a very respedable outline .of the part, and had, some touches of feeling that were very effediye. . The charader of Edgar was admirably sustained by. Mr. C. KEMBLE indeed we consider him, upon the•whOle, as the best Edgar that we have:seen. His scenes with Cordclia were marked by delicacy, tenderness,.and pathos, and the assum ed madness was given with original spirit, and great variety of expression. 'Miss SMITH, in Cordelia, was at times rather : too energetic for the softness and delicacy of the part, ,but in many passages she was affeding and impressive. Mrs. WIGNELL, formerly so much admired on the London Stage as Miss RauNToN and Mrs: MERRY, has again entered • into the matrimonial state, with Mr. liVAttittN, the Proprietor of the Theatre at Phi ladelphia. Mr. WARRIIN is an Aetor of repute in characters of a moral and sententious kind, and is very much reSpeded in private life. Mrs. SIDDONS has closed her engagement for this season at Covent-garden, and is gone to perform for three weeks at Liverpool. She was to make her first, appearance there last night in the charader of hotella. The part of Biron was to be performed by Mr. RAE, Who was last year the serious hero of the Haymarket. Mrs_ SIDDONS this summer takes leave' of all Provincial Theatres. Mrs. 11. JOHNSON is to perform Letitia Hardy, in The Belle's Stratagem, this evening at Chelten: ham. A \ Gentleman, named THOMPSON, has, it seems, smuch improved the pleasures of the place by throwing open some beautiful plantations as a morn-, ing . promenade, The same Gentleman has erected some. additional baths. Three ,new wells have' re cently been discovered, so that Cheltenham bids fair to rise into very high distinaion as a watering place. -Considerable repairs and_ improvements are going on at Vauxhall Gardens . ; the opening bf the Gar- , dens are delayed, owing to their not l?eing complete. The report of C4TALANI'S dinner, it seems, was what the soi-clisant wits denominate a hoax. It will, however, be as difficult to discover wit as liberality in such attempts to wound the feelings of a person asp unotfending in her condu& as extraordi nary for her talents. She was too much indisposed for company when she was assailed by this stroke of humour. Mr. PAULCS woond began to assume so very alarming an aspe& that his Surgeon was obliged to resort to an Operation, the effeCts of which promise a favourable issue. A seizure of 'English goods has recently taker place at Rotterdam, on board a vessel arrived there from- England. The,property► confiscated is said to. have been considerable. ' The Swiss Regiment De Meuron is now at Ports mouth. If it can be completed in time, it is in tended that it should proceed with Lord CATHCART. In this case, their, Colonel will command in the Expedition as a General Officer. We understand that 'almost all the paper mills in Scotland are idle, on account of . the journeymen having struck work for an increase of wages. They got an advance of f. ) .s. per week about this time last year, and now they retrise to work without a further rise of 3s. per week.. It was recommended to them by their masters to apply to the Civil Magistrates, who would sanction their claim, if tli6y could spew cause why it should be so ;. but this they declined, trusting to carry their demands,by compillsion ; and they have chosen a season for it when they think they can subsist, themselves by being employed as laboure'rs.

In consequence of beiee infbaned that he had some enemies on the Jiiry, the Defendant deter= ruined to be prepared, but at seven o'clock be wac .

',On the day following the dis charge of Grand Jury, Mr. Williams p ro p ose d to . some late members of it, while they were at 'break fast, to proceed.with the indiament ; but they re fused, telling him thet he should have been prepared before. This affidavit also set forth a letter, written by a Mr. Philpot to a Gentleman . named Stokes,' in which the Defendant was termeda viper; and it I'4- commended the person to whom it was addressed to apply to Sir R.. Salusbury, and other Gentlemen, to defeat the objest of the .indiament. It concluded by requestingdMr. Stokes to burn this letter. The affidavit admitted that the Defendant had said, that the condutt of the Jury was tnost disgraceful and blackguard. The, affidavits of Mr. Stoughton,, Mr. J. Howel, John Jones, J. Rudd, S. Tyler, W. Gwyllin and Sa rah Watkins, corroborated the fans contained in the affidavit of the Defendant. Lord ELLENBOROUGH" It has occured to us on consideration Of the case, that this rule should he dis charged, with costs tube paid by Williams, and that there should be no indidtment preferred against him: The Defendant admitS that the language he used was improper, and his conclua culpable ; but, at the same time, I do not like to go into the condu& of 'others. That is the opinion of the Court ; but if the Counsel think they can alter that opinion, they may proceed with their arguments." The Counsel on both, sides expressed their satis faetion.—Rule discharged. THE KING V. JOHN THEODORICK. This, case wasi . called on for argument, and the question was, whether an information, in the nature Of a writ of quo warrant°, should be filed against the Defendant, requiring , him to shew cause by what authority he claimed, to be a member of the coal monalty of the Borough , of Thetford ? The affidavits on which the motion was originaly made by , Mr. Wilson, set forth the constitution of the 'Borough, and stated,. that a Meeting of the Cor poration. was summoned on - the 14th of Jana iv, 1802, when the resignation of the faller of the Defendant was received, and the Mayor, the Re corder, and the Coroner, without any further no tice, adjourned to another apartment, and imme diately elected the Defendant to the vacant seat in the commonalty. Mr. GAR ROW, in opposition to the rule, contended, , that this prOceeding was perfeelly re g ular. It was in evidence, that a meeting of the wholCorporate Body was summoned, and that after the resignation of one member had been accepted, the seleet body, whose duty it was, viz. thet.Mayor, the Recontzt (the Duke of Grafton), and the Coroner, retir:d, and introduced the name of the Defendant among the list of the Commonalty, with the concurrence of every party. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. WILSON, on the contrary, insisted that such an ele&ion was not only illegal by the common law, as laid down in the, case of the King v. Carlisle (Lord Raym. 1355.), but lils:ewise in opposition to the established custom of the,Borough of Thetford for it was sworn on-the. fac , t of tho afftd wits. that it had been the i.ivAt;abL:
