THIS morning a Mail from ronningen arrived!. con.ains an.account, which we have for some time expeded, of the snrrender of the important Fortress of Neisse. We have, extra6ted from the Berlin Telegialah a part cf one of the most e4traordinary.articles ti)at we think ever' appeared in a Newspaper. 'The to lowing is the article to which we allude : ' FROM THE TELEGRAPH OF MAY 24TH. The popularity enjoyed by the Earl of MoiftA in 'Great 41-" ! taill is worthy of the most particular no tice. It is the n;tural consequence of the high .re gard whiCh the Earl has obtained by the wisdom of his speeches in Pa;liainentl by his generosity and the splendour which surrounds him out of Puhal. went ; by his talents and military acquirements ; and, 14stly, by . his illustrious descent. Lord.MOIRA also possesses the merit .of being an , Irishman ; a merit which the inhabitants of that island do not treat with indifference, The Earl descends, through ltis mother, 4 13 areness H.vtioEn roEnyfrom V O LE, Lord MONTAGUE, who was beheaded in 1583, because he had carried on a correspondence With his •* 13rother,Carclipl pE.LA POLE.

I The remainder of this article we do not think pro,: per to insert ; it contains\assertions and insinuations which we should think ot4selves culpable, if we were to publish. We are utterly at a loss to conceive what can be the object of this extraordinary pro au6tioni- but we are convinced that the Noble Lord whose title to the Throne of these Realms it endea vours to establish, must feel disgust at the praises which it lavishes upon him, and indignation. at the insinuation with which it concludes. The unfortunate catastrophe of the Egyptian Ex pedition will at leaSt serve to stamp an itideli- Lle record of the imbecility of those who plan ed it. It was , reserved,- for the suceess.irs of Mr. Fox ;.0- plan the negotiation at Coustaiiti , nople, by wilicn the .British charatler and the British .;Artns Were .at . the same moment dis graced. That Lord HOWICK and Mr. WINDHAM should be guilty',of wild and extravagant, projetts. will excite but ittie surprise,' - yet 'we can scarcely attribute to these Pentleinen, or any of their imme .diate .adherents, t4e. following .huniani ejaculation, contained i,i a Paper of tliis day : " Rather than' coinproiii:se the honour Of the Country, let the in- . liaoltams Of illexanuria 'be driven out to eat grass with ():.en, or to furiii3b. food for the crocodiles of the Nile." _Mercy on us 1.. what a denunCiation the miserable unotleading inhabitants of the cevotcu Alexandria. Vic yesterday, expressed . our opinion that Alex-, evaepate,di . -that opiniun is strength ened by an aet . :cle in the Mail, dated Warsaw,which • states, that intelligence had been receied , there from const'antinople, that the- British had-been defeated iae fray pt, aae had been forced to re-embark. Morning' Paper that has with inch persever ing rancour attached-Mr: WARD, on the subje& of the penston . which that Gentleman received on re . tifing from office, has returned to the 'charge, and Lad the confidence to say, that " no answer what ever has been made to the.Eatement:i no apology even hasitweti offered for Lord MuLd-ItA.vE' con- dud." At firSt; ine l Paper 'alluded to . positively affirmed, that the grant of this: pension was unpre. q • tw l en ted. , the. third of tbi* ingnth, : we stated, that instead of being unprpcedeigeg, it had a prece= dent in the ponOnE.t of Lord GfiENITII,LE, who had procured a pension of six hundred a year fOr the late Mr. 7 _DWARD, " f(4 i i services as, Onder SeCretary of State," though that Gentleman had only been a few months in ofrice. ; -So far we have - conviaed the Paper of two false assertions —one, that the grant was unprecedented; and the other, that ‘, no apsWer whatever has been made to the siatement."'i as to the assertion, that no apology has been of : I fired for Lord Mu c.c.41/E, we before stated, that we *ere by no means disposed to condo= Lord OREN. VILLE for having thought proper to procure sortie provisiOp for a Gentleman who had been uneitpe6t edly, and without any miscondue, deprived of his office; but 'we staid' also, that Lord MULQR XVE was•aaually entitled to praise for having induced a man of Mr. WAKD's abilities to quit his owt; profession, and to devote his talents to an em ployment in which they- could, be more . bene ficial to his cotintiy. When this Gentleman, therefore, whose abilities far exceeded those of Mr. FISHER, and Who was much longer in office, was also obliged to retire,*, surely Lord Moi, GRAVEhad'as much right, to obtain a compensation for hirh as Lord GRENAILLE• had to do the same for Mr. FISHER. We could have forgiven the silence of the Paper in question Upen.a fa6t that so completely refuted.its assertion, but w.e help expressing. our tl•stonishment Wheti we find it persevering in the same charge, and declariag that fr no answer what ever" has been given tq its statements. .Yesterday morning. His MAJESTY and the PaiN, cgss4s, attended by Count MUNSTER,g enerals GARTH and SPENCER, Colonel TAYLOR,,IaiId Miss EGE#Tort, rode on horseback, ia,Windsor Park.

On Tuesday afternoon the 43d, or 4rgyleshire giment of Militia, commanded by Lieut,-Colonel CAMPBELL, arrived at Aberdeen in transports from ,IVltisselburgh: They, embarked at Port 'Seaton, in the Frith of Forth, on. Tuesday se'mnight, but were detained: in the Frith by contrary ).vinds. As soon as the Argyleshire are disembarked, and the trans ports can be prepared for the reCeption of the East Suffolk, the latter regiment is to be put on board the same vessels, : and- to sail. with the first tide for Itamsgate, under convoy of the Sparrow, of id guns. We have received an account of a spirited aeon between. the..crews of two boats belonging to his Majesty's Ship - Redaiing, and the crews of nine armed Spanish felucca:4, the latter of which- were drove on share in. a Bay to the eastward of Trafalgar Pant, Otere they took a position in a castle on the beach, , which our gallant seatuen stormed', and st.tC ceeded is driving away th e SpiMiarcts, although as sisted by a troop of cavalry-. ' Our brave seamen brought -away one Brig, six Feluccas, ancl,hbrnt three, wish the• loss of only one man; the enemy had several killed and wounded. The following is an Extras} of a Letter from Capt. ANSIDELL, of the .Huey, of f full; to his Owners, dated Dantzic,. May 15, 1807 :—" I haVe just time to inform you, that on my arrival ai Pillau, the Ath :instant, several Officers of the English Army came on board, with letters from General , HITTC:IIIN-• soy, with positive orders to engag6 any British Ships, then there, to carry .

I /made several applications for leave to sail for this place; but General KAMINSKOI said, if any Sliip-mastiTendearoured to sail without liis'orders, he would instantly put him to death, ' " On the 25th Dantzic was delivered up to the French, we immediately received 380 Russians, and three day's provisions, and got out of Fairwater That night at half-past ,twelve, and at four the French took possession of ,the town—we arrived here all well this morning. I was shocked to see the misery of. Fairwater—the people were turned out, of their houies to make room for the soldiers, and the Rus- Sia?lS cutting down doors and' Windows for fire wood: Ships are now taking in troops for Stral sund, and some are going over to Nehrung ; others the Grand Army.
