Eight hundred pieces of artillery, .trtagazines of every kind, more_than five hundred . thousand quintalS'kl, grain, i,veil-stored cellars, immenses-colleetiOns of clothing and spices ? great resources 'of every kind for the Army—lastly, a place of the first order for strength on our left wing, as Thorp. supports. our centre, incl Praga.our right ; these are the- adVantages ob tained during the winter, and which s have signalized the leisure hours of the Grand Army : this is, in deed; - the first fruit of the.viaary.of Eylau.., The rigour of the season,.the snow which so often co vered our trenches, the ice which has, s a444 4 Sresh difficulties, .have afforded no obstacle to our opera tions. Marshal LevElwae has braved all ';` he has anipated 'with the same spirit the Saxons, the Mes, the troops of 133411, atid has made them all to:id:ice to his end. The difficulties which - the artillery had to conquer were considerabre. One hundre:l pieces of . .artillery, five s or sib thousand pounds 'Weight of powder, and an . iturnense quantity, of bullets, have been drawn fr9m 'Stettin, ands the strong. - places in Silesia. It : was necessary to surmount many dif-; ti&"lities lu retuoving the artillery, but the. Vistbla at: Forded easy and expeditiOus means. The Marines of tiZe Guards have paSSed their boats unclithe fort of Graudentz with their accustomed skill and solution. ' General .CnAsseLour, General KIN -6' EN ER Colonel LACOSTA, and in - general all .the Of of the Engineers, have , served in :the - most crstinguished manner. • The Sappers have shewn an uncommon degree of intrepidity-. The whole Corps of Artillery, s under - General LARtpols§,ltßE, has Ktstained its reputation. The 2d Regiment of : Light Infantry,. the 12th,..and" the troops of Pacio‘', with Gt.orals ScnitAmm and PuTnop,have distinguished themselves. .A detailed journal of this siege ,will Boone drawn up with care.. It . will consecrate a greatnumber of aels of bravery wortliTof being ex- Inbited as examples, and such as must exciteten thtisi&im and admiration. ' On the 17th, the mine blew up a blocktllOkase aCtachecl to the guard-house on the covered way.— Ott the 19th, the descent and passage of the fosse were executed'at seven o'clock in the evening. On the 21st,.11.1arshal LEFEISIIR;E having prepared every thing for the assault, they „were proceeding to the awilc, when Colonel LAcosTA, who had been sent in - 'tile morning into the place upon some_business, si: , nified that General KALKAEUTH demande.l to ca= • :0 pituhtte on the same conditions that ,he had' for rnelly gianted to the garrison of Mayence. This Was agreed to.: The Hakelsburgh would have been stOrwed with little loss; but the body of the pltice 'gas yet entire. Wrge fosse full of running water Jresented such dialculties, that the besie&al might ive held oat for fifteen days longer. In . this situa tion it Appeared proper to grant them an honourable Capitu!z;:lon. .• „ kOn the 27th, the Garrison 'marched out, •with General KALKREUTH at its head. This strong Gar rison, which at first consisted of •16,0R0 men, was re,:,uced to 9000 men, of which 4000 have. de- Cer4. We will not," they say, "go to Siberia.'! Many thousands of*artillery horses have been given to us, but tlley are in very bad condition. They are . .now drawing up the inventory of ; the magzi iine3. General RAPP is named Governor ofDantiic. The Russian Lieutenant-General KAMENSKOI, after having been beat on the' 15th, retired-under the forritications• of Weichselmunde. He remained' there without venturing to undertake any thing; and he- has been a spedator of the surrender of the Place. When he percei‘ ed that they were ereaing batteries, to burn ships with red-hot halls-, h e embarked and retired. He has returned to "The fort of Weichselmunde Out.— Marshal LEF.EBVRE summoned ,it on the 26th, and While they were regulating the terms of capitula tion the garrison advanced from the fort and sur rendered. The commandant, • thus abandoned by the garrison, saved himself by sea, and thus we are in poiiiession of the town and port of Dantzic.— TheSe events are a happy preSage of the campaign. The Emperor of IlussiA and. the King'of PRUs§tA were' at Heiligenbeel. They might have conjec tured the surrender of the place from the 'Cessation of the fire.• They might have heard the"cannon from that distance. . ,!‘ I!:mpernr, to• express his satisfaaion 'to the he t siegioe,-, army,, has granted'a present to each 06Idier. The siege of Graudentz is now commencng under the command of General PICTON. General LAZOWSKY commands the Engineers; and General DANTROUARp the' artillery. Graudenti is strong from the number of its mines. The cavalry - of the army is in fine order. The 4iv6i6ri of light cavalry,. two divisions of cuirassiers and one of dragoons have been reviewed at Elbing, on - the f2Gtli, by the Grand Duke of Bent. Orr the sairie day his Majesty ; arrived at Bishoverden -and Stalsburgh, where he reviewed HAtrrrouvr's divi sion of cuirassiers, and the division of dragoons of General . GROUCHY. He has been satisfied with their appearance and with the good condition of their horses. ". The Ambassador of the Porte, SEID MOIIAM NED EMEN VARID, has been presented, on the 28th, at two o'clock, to the Emperor, by the Prince of. BE:4VENTO. He delivered his credentials to his' Alaje:sty, and remained an hour in his Cabinet. •He is lodged at the Castle, and occupies the apartments of the Grand buke of BERG, who is absent on .ac count of the review. It is confidently said,' that the Emperor told . him that ,he and the Sultan SELIM ‘ 'oula be, for ever after, inSeparably conne6ted as the right hand 'l - Icl the left.

Sist€w, /I'7ay 6. - , " MoNsEtoNtult—The Russians retreated from Guirdzwo to Bucaharest,oti the .22d of April. At this moment they are on, their retreat to Moldavia, from Bucharest and Wallachia. This retreat was rendered indispensably necessary by their weakness, and the success of the Turks. At Ismail, a deserter having announced to P .ELWAN AGA that the Rus-- sians were busy in preparing for their departure, he procUred a reinforcement horn the advanced guard of the GRAND ViziEit's army, which he hadunited to his, own, ar.d, having sworn the troops on the -Alcoran to conquer or perish,he marched with three columns, consisting of 500?) men each, and attacked the Russians at day-break. He killed it 00 men, took goo prisoners, and a part of their baggage and ar tillery. Two Russian Generals were taken prisoners. At the moment this intelligence arrived at Sistow, the Turks were following up the victory, - and the Russians were retreating towards Bender. The Main force of the GRAND VIZIER is hour ly,expeCted. Sothe days ago it was within three days march of the Danube. " The Russian Agents are in the greatestconster nation. They are packing up, and making 64'. Their grief'and lairientations' afflict• the heart. The affairs of the Turks go on very well ; it is probable that in a few days they ,will be at Bucharest." PARts, Jurd 7.—The Mayor of Bourdeaux, on the 30th ult. announced . to the inhabitants, that the auxiliary Spanish troops would arrive in that city in the following- order : 1245 men on the 3d of June, to remain there 9n the 4th ; ry332 on the sth, to remain the-6th'; 1544 on the 7th, to remain the Bth ; 1388 men, and 540 horses, on the 9th,, to' remain the loth ; 670 men, and 540 horses on the if th, to remain the 12th. These auxiliary troop's are on their route to the Grand Army. On the same day this Notification was made, the Queen of • HOLLAND arrived at Bourdeaux. Her Majesty alighted at FuwEL'S Hotel under a feigned name. Upwards of 40 vessels in ballast had also arrived in the port ofliourdeaux. HAGUE, JUNE' 11.—Relative to the landing of a small party of English at the mouth of the, Elbe, and the spirited resistance made against them by the Dutch troops, General DumoNcEAu has sent the following report from his head-quarters On the 24th of May the English effeded a land-, ing near Dunen, a small village at some distance from .Cuxhaven. In order to conceal their approach, the Enemy mixed their vessels with a number of fishing schuyts, and other small vessels, from which we could not distinguish them. The sentinel on the' Most forward point not suspecting the least hOstility, no sooner discoverOd the Enemy than he fired his Musket, and ran off with All speed to the village, Where LiWt. CII'ATELEUX, one serjeant, and two chasseurs, all of the third battalion, were taken pri, soners by the English before they kneW of their ar 7 rival, This was at six in the morning; • L 0 ND 0 N, FRIDAY, JUNE Jg, 1807. WE received last night French and Dutch Papers, ,the former to the 9th, and the latter to the 14th inst. `They contain the 77th Bulletin of the French Army, the whole of Which almost is occupied with the details of the Siege and Surrender of Dantzic. The terms of the CapitulatiOn, which are given, are in substance the same as our former accounts stated.; but the Garrison is represented in- the Bulletin as , consisting, at the time of the surrender, of only 9000 men. It is insinuated that Gen. KALKREUTH . could have defended .Dantzic ,a • fortnight longer, but the diaraEter of the gallant Officer will hot suf fer by any accusation of that kind, which was pro bably only. made as an . excuse for the favourable terms which were granted to the Garrison. The Russian Troops that were landed at Weichselmunde, and failed, in the attempt to relieve Dantzic, em barked immediately after the surrender of that City, and arrived at Pillau. At a very late hour last night we received the flambura b h Correspondenten of the ioth. The only article of importance which it contains is an Extra& from an Austrian Newspaper, which states, that M. HARDENBERG and M. NOVOZILTZOFF were oxpeded Ilt BoN.ApARTE's head-quarters, with full powers to treat, It appears, however, yerr improbable that M. 1-14tuDENBERG, against whom BONAPARTE has expressed so decided an anlinosity, shod be sent to him to treat for a Peace. consevence of the very extraordinary Letter addressed to the friends of the late Ministry, stating that a division, will certainly take place on the first day of (he Session, the following Circular Letter has been sent :--- Sj R. —ln consequence of a formal notification, that an Amendment will he proposed to the Address, and that a Di. vision will certainly take place, your attendance at the House of Cominons, on Friday the 26th inst. when the Address will be moved, is most earnestly and particularly requested. " No Member will be enabled.to vote on the 26th, who is not sworn in before four,o'cloa of that day." " Monday, June 15, 18°7." • We!submitted t& our Readers, two or three days V, a ircular Letter, which is supposed to have been .Writtetii by.a Nobleman of the Lower House,' the iibjeEt;of,which was to colle& the members of the Party together; at the meeting of Parliament, for the purpose of opposing the King's Speech, and the consequent Address, whatever they may contain.-- This. predetermination to thwart the measures of Go vernment, right or wrong, plainly demonstrates that the enemies of the present Administration are wholly. regardless of pUblic opinion, and are.influenced oialy - by a sense of revenge for the.deprivation of power, and an eagerness to recover their- former situations, that prevent •them from refleEting on the sentiments which such conduel must naturally excite in the minds of -all:who - feel for the" - true interests of the Country. Not satisfied with issuing the Circular Letter - alluded to, and with the most active exer. . titans besides to accomplish their obje6t of mustering i ltiftirmidable host, to be ready against the 'meeting lITEr P;irliament; the heads of the Party have : resolved . - p ld .1 to a dinner together on Wednesday. next, atict• invitations of the 'most urgent - kind have been sent to everypersomattachedto their cause, in order .to _render this_ political festival as numerous and splendid as possible. :A list has been published of the names of those who . ,are likely to . be 'present, and s though a few individuals appear in it' Nirhorn should be glad to see engaged in a better cause, yet the rest are not men to whom the public have any letigon to laok with much resped, - for consequence Or ; a few of theni are absolutely so cant that it is a matter of perfeaindifference which side they take., 'We trust that Ministers are not less aaive in assembling the friends of the Conn, try; in order to support measures essential to its honour r and interest, and that they will tate the example of the great Statesman whose loss we shall ever lament, in firmly and resolutely Persevering in the discharge of their high duties,r notwithstanding all the artifice, all the declamation, and all the clamour which the malevolence of dis-. appointment, and the violence of ambition, may put in motion to create divisions at this awful and critical period,- when a cordial unanimity is more necessary than;ever, to counteraa the designs of a powerful and fancorous Foe, whose hatred against the British lEmriire nothing could satisfy but our total ruin as "aillitidependent People.

The decorations and entertainmenk were upon the most extensive and liberal scale. • AV, the Peers Eleal were present, and, in fad, every branCh of 'every noble family for twenty tilil4 around. Thdre were at one time dancing four sets, of about fifty couple in each set. All the streets, lanes, and passages, were filled with carriages ar chairs, until a very late hour in the morning. The company exceeded 1200 persons. We-are concerned to learn that the indisOosition of Sir SIDNEY SMITH is supposed to proceed from a brsiivcr. Whiett he 'received from an Arab horse, when riding tlw neighbourhood of Alexandria in com. patsy; With some Arabs. The animal on which Sir SitNiEVti , Wg riding was attacked by another horse, whic}i-htkVbroken loose, and which, -according to the prdaiee of these animals when fighting, reared up, and struck Sir SIDNEY with one of his core feet ; Sir SIDNEY'S horse having reared to return the attack, he was compelled to dismount • imme diately, and thus avoided further danger. There is reason to believe that the detention of that valuable and unfortunate Officer, Captain FLISDER-S, . will not be of much longer Continuance, if "134 Ilizis not . been long ago set at liberty.

ELBERS, commanding the post at Doze, bad , no sooner received advice of this affair, than he set 'out with 25 chasseurs,to Duneti,, and drove the Enemy out of the village. in the in terhn Captain Bosttive, Commander of a battalion of chasseurs at Cuxhaven, having' received intelligence of 'the Enemy's proceedings, ColleCled as many voltigeurs and carabineers as he could, and placed them bn a dike between the two villages before-mentioned. The •Enemy observing the approach of our troops, seemed as if they were getting their vessels ready to resist us. Without loss of time Captain Bosetfun ordered the drums to beat a march, and fell upon the Eng lish with melt' spirit, that they tied in the greatest disorder towards the sea, where a number of them threw themselves into the water, to endeavour,_ if possible, to reach their vessels. Most of them were drowned, and much the smallest part of them were fortunate enough to save themselves in two of their vessels. The third vessel fell into our hands; and was burnt ; after the cordage and cannon :tad been taken out of her. ` 6 . The two English Frigates and a Brig stationed upon this coast, in all probability wishing to, be re venged for the loss of their small craft, steered their course towards Cuxhaven about two in the after noon; and commenced a heavy fire upon a three-gun battery at the entrance of the place. This battery, intended rather for proteaing trade than sustaining or answering the fire of an Enemy's Squadron, had no gunners, and scarcely three shots were fired from it against the English. " Capt.' Bose UD, hearing of these fresh hostili-- ties, repaired to Cuxhaven with his chassetirs with all possible speed. The English observing the ex cellent discipline of our troops, dared to venture no thing further, but confined themselves to a simple cannonade, without any other et e& than. slightly wounding two chasseurs, damaging about 20 houses, and one of the , guns on the battery. " At seven o'clock the Enemy's Ships returned to their former station, where, in the moping of the 25111, there was a Frigate, a:Brig, and'a Galley at anchor. " The intrepidity of our troops on this occasion is an indubitable proof of what the English may expect should they venture any other undertaking of this kind ; we shall always be ready, 'as on the present occasion, to receive them with fixed bayonets. _ " As a proof of his Majesty's satisfaCtion with the conduct of Captain BoscituD, it has been his • pleasure, on the sth instant, to appoint-him . Lieu . tenant-Colonel." DANTZIC, MAY 29:—A singular affair has oc curred at Sczekochin, in'' PruSsian Poland. Some weeks since, the Governor there wished tO•have Polish Eagle painted, which was intended to be fixed up in front of the Town-house, with great formality. However, as no painter could be found there, one was sent for from a neighbouring village,'in Austrian Poland ; but as he could not be provided with colours sufficient for his purpose, he took the. Eagle home with him,, which coming to the ears of :the Austrian Commandant, both the Eagle and the pain ter were seized, and sent-to the Tribunal at Cracow —A letter was consequently written to theAus7 trian Commandant, with some explanations, and requesting him to think of the wife and children of the poor artist, to which he returned the following answer : " I have the honour to answer your letter, .and inform you, that the House of- Austria can never suffer a subjea of theirs to go unpunished who has been accessary in promoting any measures calculated to exterminate fidelity in the bosoms of those citi zens who have sworn fidelity to their lawful sove reign. If, the happy moment should arrive for Po land when the Polish Eagle shall be re-planted by a general peace, then every brave Pole who would celebrate such an event may employ as many Aus trian painters as he may Ouse. At present, reasons of State will not permit Austrians to engage in this buiiness. •Be assured, the wife•and children of this unfortunate manare not indifferent to me. " I have the honour to be, Scc.
