The Garrison of Anclam amounts now to 7000 men, of which one regiment is every night on piquet, in case of an attack from the Swedish side.

" The French yesterday went over in boats at Gatzkow, and took possession of the: Ferry at that place. TRotmus, eaptain of the Royal Smauland Dragoons, immediately after, with a small,troop of dragoons on foot, re-took the Ferry (which now lies on the Swedish side), and without firing a gun.' In the dark of the night the-,French returned, and passed the river by. boats at the same when they fired, which was vehemently returned, by the out-post- of dragoons, while they retreated' 30 ells behind the house at the Ferry ; but when the Commander, Lieutenant HAURD, observed by the light that' they were but a small force, lie drew to wards the river, when the French, under a strong fire from both sides, threw themselves into the boats and retreated.

" ALTO N A, JAN. 27 .—The iron hand of pallicDe,s potism contirrues to bear se Leavy on the Liberty of the Press, as 4.e1l as that Of speaking publicly, and corresponding, that the Journals ofNorthe.rn Ger- . many absolutely contain nothing but.. what is. in your of the French, or immediately inserted in the . Newspapers by, command of their Agents. An in_.. stance of this' appears in the Hamburg& Curre spoildenten of the 24th instant, in .tbe paragraph at the end of the Paper, making a fulsome' 'ell logium on General MICIIAL'D, late Military Go vernOr of the flansellovtins, and a still more disgusting panegyric on Marshal BnuNE, who succeeds him by the title of Governor-General of the Hanseatlc Ci ties. He entered on the exercise of his new futic tions on Sunday lasi, the 25th instant, when, con- , ' trary to all former. precedents, the Senate' were obliged to meet, ,and, by his command, not Only at Haniburgb, : but also 'at Lubec and Bremen, to pro , claim 'him in his new capacity. Every person that loves soberand rational freedom in Hamburgh and the Hanse Towns, begins to.entertain tile most seri ous apprehensions, lest the - death bloW against the liberties of those Cities should 'have been 'already struck. " BRUNE begins already to exercise , bis arbitrary power,,and by a new Mandate issued'this morning in his own name, all the Merchants of Harnburgh will be obliged to give anew specified Declaration, at the Comniandant's, ofall British Property, their for mer Declaration havits.g beenrejeaed by BRUNE as incomplete and deficient. The weight and measure of all goods is also to be given_ in eight days, to reckon from this day. In this tnanner are the poor Citizens of Trlamburgh - pestered and Oppressed by their vile and unwelcome visitors. " Poverty.anct public rnlsery increases, and if the present state of things lasts much longer, - the Major part of the Merchants will be forced to emigrate, and those inhabitauts who do not perish, for want of bread, will he forced to enlist for soldiers.

In Hamburgh the Gens d'Armes exceed the Police so,far that any unguarded expression on the part of an innocent .and ingenious citizen is punished with arrest, perhaps with death.
