EXTRACT OV A PRIVATE LETTEn. BA•EIS OF .r}:tE 6. - --The capture of Dautzic forinS -ati 7 '•t.po !in the Wart or rather, perhaps, it may be said to o rnArk the - coinmencen*tit of thesecotid catripaign. It is some consolation to find, that thelat'i•kon- has ob=ained , terms . of capi tulation, whicli,Ahout ff-ot - n2rly - very - usual, have Within a few wears he , 211 seldom granted. •The par-, tizans of the Fr'enah seem them:selvesAalf ashamed of this ; and it has thret . *o been sit4lly announded; th a t E. the-garrison of - i>tiltij)lias;obtattied tl% taring formerly grantedi:tb• :; You-will-find, on a , reference to the hi4t - 011- . 6f 'the - campaign of 793'; that the capittilatic.n thatkrity, ‘vbiEli took place on the`eid Ofdrily, hilo*edithe.French garrison to 'march oat : of - the tOrtress!'with , all the , honours of war, pretuivitig-not :to bear 'arms agaitist.Prttsliia, - fo'r twelve - months. • • - • • •• " Sonie of the.. Papers asseff,.thatMearthe theatre of war the capthee - Of aniezic was considered has the prelude Of a very speedy peace. Thee better opinion, however, seems to be, that the evett of 'a general engagement will first be 'waited, and thalt ' battle may be shortly eipetted. In' the mean: whilti, the French ate solicitous that their recent tion should not be-overlooked, nor its: importance under-rated.... We see from the Papers;that in the different places the fall of Dantziel-is' cele.brated by the military ; and . "yesterday, alsO, the city soldiers of Harnburgh were forced reluCiantly to make their cannon roar out that 'annunciation, which is re turned only. by the groans of every patriotic German. " Information has been brought from Stralsurn4 that General RUCHEL is arrived there. Every day fresh supplies were coming It is said that there are already from six to eight thousand Prus sians stationed in the island of Rugen ; . but the King of Sweden has not yet announced the termination - of the Armistice. • " The Mercury of yesterday states, that the head-quarters of General 8R.U.' . 44a are re 7 moved . from • Stettin -to Anclani ; and that, ac cording to the -last. information from Demmin, on the 29th,,the Swedish Colonel, YON TAWAST, Was about to return to Stralsund, having made arrange- inents concerning the prisoners of war. " While the measures of the King-of Sweden in dicate no decline of zeal in the common cause, the French Papers continue to hold forth the language concerning him which might easily excite suspicion, had we not full confidence in the character of the • Morith'ch; and were wt not well acquainted with the perfidious arts of sowing dissention and jealousy, in which the Enemy is without a rival. It is, sometimes amusing,to observe how suddenly the French Papers change their tone. To-day, it is to be expelled that the wisdom of the British Cabinet will soon make them perceive that England has more to fear from the vast power of Russia than even France, and that an union of these two. States is nece6sary for their com . - mon existence : to-morrow attempts will be benevo lently made to skew the brave and well-meaning, but misled ALEXANDER, how nobly and wisely he would aft. were he _to head a confederacy against the iyrants.of the sea. But the name and character of no one are bandied from side to side more un remittingly than those of FREDERICK WILLIA:n. There is no doubt that the capture of Dantzic has occasioned a fit of compassion tbr the good .King, who is so lamentably enslaved and- tyrannized by the Northern Czar. . • " Qui vtilt decipi decipiatur." " The politicians of our neighbobrhood -.were- h few days since thrown into a. ferment by a sudden and general motion among the Dutch troops,. great slumbers of whom were put upon waggons and in carriages, and measures were taken for transporting them with the utmost' 'expedition into Holland, where they were to arrive, it is.said, in six days. This could be occasioned by nothing but the eauel landing of the English ; and sonic proceeded so far as to state their baying . seized, the ieland 'folly Wel 7 cheren. It was iu vain to repre s ent . the folly of such an operation; It was in vain to. represent to them, that it was an a6l of injustice again s t your Administration to suppose that their first a6t must necessarily be.that of madmen : The answer was, " If not, can you tell why the troops are all sent back in such a hurry and in carriages'?" I dare say you, too, know,the class of persons with whom this is an infillib!e logical expedient. But without troubling you with the absurd cdmments of our politicians, the fact itself is sufficiently interesting-to merit your attention.' All the Dutch troops in the North of Germany are quitting their ,quarters for Holland. Their numbers amount to between 13 and 15,000 men. They are to take their positions from time fortress of Covoerden to the Weser, that they may be within reach, in case the English should land in Holland, or near the Weser or Elbe. The Dutch' Marshal DtleloetcreseT; the General in Chief of these troops, is to leave. , Harnburgim .to ersorrow. Those of the Dutch troops that. were stationed in Meckleuburgh, passed through that City yesterday. " These are the facts : methinks it is not diffi cult to account foe , them, and that too (to 'borrow a German phrase) without breaking one'a head in the.effort. The actual arrival, or near approach of the Spanish troops, serves to supply the place of these Dutchmen ; and the capture of Dantzic has relieved BONA-PARTE from those 'measures of pre- caution which he found it prudent to take before : and of all his troops (except; perhaps, those of his unwilling German Allies) t•he Dutch were least to be relied upon. Nothing could be less .favourable to their French Master than the temper and dispo sition manifested by many of the Dutch troops that have passed through our neighbourhood. Their aversion to the war was loudly expressed ; and there fore now that their actual services are become less requisite, it is prudent to dismiss them, lest, were they mixed with the other troops of the Great Army, they might corrupt the whole flock; be sides, there are a number of Ptussians enlisted among them, who are ready to avail themselves of the first opportunity to desert. We heard much, list winfer, of the great numbers of Prussians who entered into the service of France and her Allies. Perhaps this circumstance will not, at last, be un e fAvcierable to the common cause The Prussians, In general, have more patriotism than a great num ber of the Ge rnian people ; and. this desertion was occasioned more by their singularly wretched - situ teen than the want of - attechment to their Conntrye- I.!ke the apte.hecary in Romeo, it was their want, end those who may have adeCip, , atiother spirit, may ;'et. profit,, by the known. sentiments of Many .wh.i.se condi* .was the saine:c Their : return to the service of their lawful .

'• Griffiths, one Of the Police Officers of. th 6 Public Office, Whiteavel,".hal . reCeived information that Finch, for whom he had been some time . scotching, was in a house in a street. adjoining the Commet-, cial Road. He knew that the fellow was a most . desperate character, and was given- to understand that before he could be apprehended, it was highly probable that either by thwpistol :or . knife, one or more lives might be lust. -- Griffiths summoned- his brother Officers, and' having armed themselves, they wentin a body, and agreed not to fireunless they should he fired upon. On reaching the house they procured adMittance by the stratagem of sending a lid to the door with a pint of beer. Immediately -Griffiths and Smith rushed up stairs with pistols. and 'cutlasses in their hands, 'leaving IIIVO Cfficrrs to guard the front, and sending two to watch . the :book .of the house : as they passed up stairs, in' ati ,instant Finch discharged a pistol at Griffiths, who then pulled the trigger of his..pistol, which flashed in the pan, &Matt hen fired, and the ball of his pis= tol _ passed through the breeches of Finch grazing- his skin ; immediately Finch fired another pistol,soelose to .Gritfiths's head, that stunned by the explosion, he -fell down stairs ; Smith concluded he was shot; 'but he soon recovered .himself.' Not knowing how many pistols or men might be in the room, the Officers went now to the outside of the house,. and several shots were fired ; at last Griffiths called to Finch by name, and sgmmoned him to surrender, ( telling . him it was impossible for him to escape, that he might kill one or more of the Officers', but that he might depend upon it his own life would • be lost. Finch then said he would surrender--•-. Griffiths, knowing his treachery,• ordered him to leap • out at the window ; he did so, and stooping a little on falling to the ground, Griffiths knocked him down, expeeting to he cut with a knife; and flier a shortseuffle he was secured. He is a very desperate fellow, and it is suspeaed that he has returned from transportation before the expiration of the term to which he was sentenced. On searching the house,' several articles of stolen property, and several im plements of house-breaking, were .found ; and it . appearing that some one had' been up a chimney in otie of: tlx rooms, and Finch evidently not seeming blackened, the place was examined, and one Jones co,ered with soot Was found under a • bed. Jones .is supposed to be also a returned convkt.
