From the FRENCH and DUTCH PAPERS. SEVENTY-THIRD BULLETIN OF ,THE GRAND ARMY ELIiISIG, MAY B.—The PerSian Ambassador has received his audience of leave. ' He brought some very . fitie - preeniS to the Emperor, from his Master, and received irr return the Emperor's portrait, en riched with,very fine shims. He returns direaly to Persia. He is a very considerable personage in his country, and a man of sense and great iagatity.. His return to his country was necessary: It has been regulated that there shall henceforth be a numerous legation of Persians at . Paris, and of Frenchmen at. Tchesati. The' Emperor repaired to Elbing, and reviewed between 18 and• 20,000 cavalry, - cantoned in' the en virons lof that town and._in thet Island of -Nogat, a country Whieh - th'uch - . .resembles Holland. The Grand Duke — of corrprided f tlie 7 Man - teiavfes.-=-: At no period bad tlieErnperor - seen his: Cavalry in a better state, or bt , tr disposed,. - • - The Journal of the siege of . Dantzic will, make known, that oLiriroops have lodged theinselves in, the covert way, that the fire of The taWri is extin= guisbed, and will give the details of the , fine opera tion which General -DUODET airetied, and which wa; executed by Colcinel AMIE,- the Chief of Batta lion ; ARNAUD, of the 2d Light Infantry ; and Capt.' AVY. This operation'•put us in possession of an island which was defended by a thousand Russians, and five redoubts mounted with artillery, and which is very important for the siege, since it is in .the back position which our troops are attacking. , The Rus sians were surprised in their guard-house, 400, were slaughtered With the bayonet . withOui - haVinglittie to defend themselves, and 600 were made prison ers. This expedition, I.vliich took place in the night. of the 6th, was in a great'meastire performed by the troops, of who covered themselves with glory. - • The weather is growing milder—the...roads are excellent—die bilds: appear upon the trees—the fidlds begin to be co . cred With - grass, but it will require a month before they atiord fodder to the cavalry.' - - - . . ' • The Emperor haS establtshed.at Magdeburgh, l un der the orders of Marshal BRUNE, a 'corps of obser vation, which. 'Will: consist of nearly ' 80,000 then, half French Men, aid the.other half'Butchmen.and Confederates . of the Rhine; the Dutch troops are to the number of 20,000 men. , ' The French division of M OLITOR and BooDET, which also form a part of this corps of observation, arrived on the 13th of May at Magdehurgh. ThuS We are able to receive the English Expedition upon whatever point it ni . ay present itself. It is certain that it ',AI disernbark—it is not so that it will be able to re-embark.' CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 1 L-T-There was some tumult here a few days ago ; the troops,arrived from Asia penetrated into the shops of the Greeks, and plUndered some of them. Orders were immediate ly given by the Grand Seignior to shut all the ware houses and shops ; strong detachments' of . Janissaries patrolled the streets, - arresting the rioters, and tran quillity was in a short time restored. - On the , ttii Of this month intelligence arrived here, that the Russians, having made a second land ing at Tenedos,, had contrived to Storm the fort which protests that island.. At five in the morning the. Captain Pacha set sail for the Dardanelles with the whole Fleet,. which . was anchored under the Seven Towers : 'he took on board a body of seleet troops, dnd . has orders to. attack the Ittl.sianSiina clron, which has only a few English Ships remaining with it, and to retake Tenedos. The news of a considerable number of TuirkS hav ing been massacred io Servia, and some clistriEts- in Bosnia,. is unhappily confirmed. • CoNsTANTINOPLE, APRIL 13.—The Porte has `ordered all the disposable vesselS found between this capital and Bujakden, to be held in readiness to set sail for the Black Sea at the first signal. The Ottoman Squadron with which the Captain Pacha has proceeded to the Dardanelles, is coin posed of sixteen Sail of the Line,.two of which are three-deckers, and of a great number of small armed Vessels and Gun-boats. The intelligence of a naval battle is daily expected.—(Moniteur, Noy . 2.) . . FRoNvERs OF ,TURKEY, &lilt: 20.—The vic tories of the Russians, if they were so important '3S has been stated, have been but of short dura tion. According to the last accounts from Wal lachia, General MICHELSON has been surrounded by the Mussulman Army, and completely defeated, with the loss of .5 pieces of cannon, 5.000 killed, and as many prisoners. After this decisive aation, the Turks pursued the Russians to Moldavia, which the 'latter have by this time probably evacuated. An other corps of Turks at the same time attacked the Servians, who had penetrated to Nisa, and drove them back with loss. The Mussulman Navy, it ap pears, has been no less fortunate. The Captain Paella has passed the Dardanelles; and driven the Rus sian fleet, which did not dare to engage, from be fore Tenedos. The. English, on their part, have experienced a new disgrace. They appeared be fore Thessalonica, and employed the same threats there as at Constantinople, wishing to compel the Pacha to dismiss the French Consul ; and to give them such supplies as they wanted. The Pacha, however, rejected their .demands with contempt, and instantly ordered measures of defence, which induced the Enemy to depart without etfeaing his purpose. VIENNA, MAY • the night of the Bth in stant an Officer belonging to . the War ChanCery was arrested, and all hi s papers., seized for examina tion.—We are assured that Russia has again pro posed, to enter into an alliance with our Court. These propositions have, however, been rejeaed, and and our Cabinet has declared that our neutrality will not-be departed from. It is now resolved that the Minister of State, Count STAntoN,shall not leave this city, as the management of the NegotiationS„ with which he is intrusted, is of so much impor tance that he cannot absent himself. The English Ambassador is recalled, but he will probably remain here until his successor arrives. The present Am bassador belonging to Lord GRENVILLE's party, does not dissemble his dissatisfaction at the change of the Britsh Ministry. Besides, little is done to approximate the English Court to ours, 'which is in I.art:cular displeased with LordsHAWKE=RY and CASTLEREAGH, who are now in anthority, to whom' ' the publication of "the Wes and Conferences ex chano-ed and held, b'efore — the late war, is ascribed. PARIS, MAY 2442--Wo have received authentic Letters from Vienna; which state that a Messenger from General SEBASTIANI to the E m peror, rtas passed through that city, with an account of the de feat of General MrcnEtsoN; and that the Russian Fleet had fled from Tenedos, and was pursued by the Captain Pacha, .with 16 Ships.—The 5 per cent. Consols are at 74 francs, 70 centimes: re That you may preserve the most important place remaining -in the' Prussian dominions for the Prussian Monarchy, and in consideration of (he poor inhabitants, I trust that you will relinquish the credit of defendino; it ‘ouly a few days.longer. Under' this persuasion,, I require that you will put me in ac— teal ppssession of Dantzie, Bischoffsburgh, Weichsel-_ munde, and Neufahrwasser.. , I am, &c. . " LEFEBYR R." '1 P. S. I have ordered the firing to cease, till the return of M. AMIE, the Adjutant-Commandant, the bearer of this letter." THE ANSWER OF GENERAI. ICALREUTH, " MARSHAL, a Your Adjutant assured the Officet at the post guard, that the Letter: your Excellency has - been pleased to address to: me, had no manner of relation to the surrender of Dantzic. Trusting to that as surance, the Officer on guard received the letter;. notwithstanding my express orders to the contrary. You 'will scarcely doubt of my, conscienciousness in the point I allude to ; and I have so good an opinion .of you, as to flatter myself that you will excuse it. Such an experienced Soldier as you 'are must know as well as myself,. that no Commandant can ever listen to any propoials, as long as there is no breach in the works—a breach through which i men might pass, abreast ; and- LaM also very far, from believing that your Excellency can he serious, in requiring a man of honour to be guilty of an .qdt of baseness. You wish.me t o cons id er the interest of the inhabitants of. Dantzic ; they have nothing more to lose, and like myself are willing to wait in quietude the issue of the ,war. All that I can do is to transmit your Letter to the King my Master. " I am, &c. KALh4EUII4," It is certain that our Monarch has 3gain given orders to General KALKREUTI-1,. to, defend the place to the last extremity, and assured him that he might eXpea succours from sea. GOTTENBURGH, MAY ;+ 2? .---There is not a word of news here; hoWever, report says, that the Kiwi has declared the Arinistice at an end, but this does not appear from the Stralsund Bulletin, and_ indeed, it seems, from his having Knighted Gen.

BERLIN, MAY 20.—(Faom THE TELEGIt APH.)— The Russians perceiNing the impossibility of attack ing the•front of the French Army without exposing themselves to..very great loss, underthok to save Dantzic by a landing, which was etle6ted on the ISt h the entrenched camp of Weichselmunde; on the bank of the Vistula. The division of General OtißlNor arrived on this bank almoSt at the same tinie with the Russians, and shut them up in Weichsehnunde, where they were obliged to take refuge. On the lath, in the morn ing, Lieut. General KAMENSKOI, who commanded the. disembarked troops, attempted a sortie at .the head of - 0 . 00 men, when in three columns, with a view tp take the island; of which the French had been in possession several days. He was completely re pulsed, and lost 2000 men, including some. pri soners, among 'were' several &leers. He returned to Wichselmunde in the greatest confu sion, after the 12th regiment had fallen upon his flank and routed it. - The shattered remains of the Russian troops un der the command of Lieut. General KAnENsKot, are cloSely blockaded in Weichseimunde, and can hav'e no communication with'the city ofDantzic. These troops have to contend with considerable forces, among which are the division d'Elites and the Vol tigeurs, under the command of Gen. OuniNoT. General LENA:RaoIs ha's set fire to a great number of rafts ::which the• 11U:151311S had built on the lng, He was opposed on this occasion by 6000 men, who were defeated. MAY 2 r.-Farther official accounts: from the Imperial head-quarters at Fincken stein, announce the, following event:2, :=—The General of Brigade BEAU MONT, Aid de Camp. of the Grand Duke of BERQ, and the,Oeneral of Brigade ALBERT, at the head of two battalions of the division of 0 - 001NoT, the. ad and I ith battalions of Chasseurs, and' a brigade of Dragoons, haVe defeated and put to flight a division of the Enemy, which endeavoured to penetrate by the Narew. This division was attacked on the 16th of May, ronted, and pursued 15 leagues to beyond Kahlberg : itJosf 900 prisoners and four pieCes of cannon.' 'Elk enterprise of the Enemy ,was cOn neeted with i4e, expegiti c m of ,Lieut. General KA mArrsior ; both were intended to elle& the deliverance of Dantzic., On the 13th the Enemy attacked General La mix RROIS, who, at the head of a Bavarian brigade and a Polish regiment, had passed the Narew to, bum the rafts which the Enemy had construded six Weeks before at Nyaskowo. All these rafts were burnt. The Enemy appeared before the entrenchments of General LEMARROIS ; but were defeated, and left Many killed on the field of battle. Marshal MAST SENA at the same moment pasSed the 'bridge of Pul tusk, and fell :on the rear of the Enemy. Some Cossacks advanced to attack the head of the brtdge over the - Armiew, near Drenzewo : they were repulsed. The General of Brigade, GIRARD, at the , head of the 88th regiment,, made 150 Cos sacks leap itito the Narew i and took from them 60 horses, Artillery has been brought into the covered of the half-moon before Dautiic.

THORN, MAY. 7.—TO judge by the accounts given V deserters, General .KA LKl{ LUTZ seems determin ed not to surrender Dantzic without an assault. The weather is now favontable for the transport of .artillery and baggage, atyl the rear works near. Thorn .are mounted will, cannon ; the magazines . are also furnished with k e Qvisions and:ammunition ;. nor are the points of defence in the rear of the French army neglected, but form, on Vie contrary, a strong line of defence.—(Hamburg CorresP24- denten, May (27.) HAMBURGH, MAY 27.—0 n. the 92d, instant the head-quarters of the French Emperor were still, at • Finckenstein. • NUREMBURGII, MAY i6.--A Letter from : a Gen tleman of distinction in the- R . Ossian §drvice contains the following passage :--Notwithstanding the war like preparati o n s o n both sides, hopes of peace May yet be entertained; the .negotiations are not yet broken off; nay, many imp or t an t p o i n t s are a l rea d y agreed upon, although it appears a ,thtlitult task to settle others. The question is not to conclude a separate peace with Prussia, but a general peace, WhiCh is even to include Great Britain ; according to other accounts, however, the negotiations for peace are not likely to prove successful." KONIGSBURGH, MAY 9.—The following is the summons sent by Marshal LEFEBVRE to General KALKREUTH GENERAL, " Fred the esteem for your Excellency, and out of conapAsion for the inhabitants' of p antile, I have hitherto not made use of all the means in my power to 'compel the place to surrender. I believe that your reputation, long since established; cannot suffer in the least degree by' the surrepder of Dantzic, as you must know that the Swedish Army was totally defeated on the 16th and 17th, and on thelBth was obliged to engage, neither directly nor indirectly, to aribrd any assistance to Colburgh or Dantzi e , And, in tine, it must be clear to your Excellency, that, under such circurnstanees, any hope of relieving the place must be ilroundless. • LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 1, 19.07. LAST night we received French and Dutch .1 1 i2:iter, v the former to the 25th, and the latter to the 2gth ult.; and this morning, at a very early hour, a Mail' from Tonningen arrived. We hive made copious . Extra is from them, but our Leaders will, of course, receive with considerable Caution the ac counts which they contain of the operations of the Armies in Poland. A number of skirmishes have taken place, all ,of 'which are represented as having terminated' in faVour of the `French; but ws are the less disposed to. comment upon these de-. tails, because we have reason to believe, from the most authentic sources of information, - that A GE.: NERAL BATTLE has been FOTJGHT. A Courier had reached HarnbUrgh from the Artny immediately befOre our accounts came away, with the intelli-. gence that a, General Adtion had commenced along the whole Line, and from the immense numbers of . , men engaged on both sides,, it was(supposedthat-the. Battle would last several days. A similar account had reached Flushing, and though this intelligence is not official,. we have no doubt of its truth. The fate of Dantzic, and, perhaps that of the whole Conti nent of gurope, will depend upon the result of this Battle. By the Gottenturgia w,hich, arrived this, morning, we have received the following intelli:- gence : EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FRO 4 COPLNIIA.- ~ ~'. GEN, MAY 22. Accounts received yesterday from Dant* that though it is more stronglybornbarded than ever. and though 171 . houses have been destroyed, it has yet a prospect of holding out, as succours we.e hourly expeCted to be thrown into it. `"The Captain of a Ship who arrived at Elsineur the day before . yesterday from Memel reports, that the French troops in Poland were reduced to such a want of provisions, as to be obliged - to eat their horses : he also, but it is feared without foundation, reports, that 100,000 Austrians are on their march to join the General ARMVP.DT, who, by advancing too far in the late aEtions with the French, occasioned the miserable Armistice that followed, bas received pennission, or rather been obliged, to resign his command.—He is esteemed the best General the Swedes have.

It would therefore seem that the Austrian Flag, at least, is respected in the Archipelago. KANIGSBURGII, NAY 7.—Accord;ng to accounts from the Vis.tula, the fortress of Qraudc:atz was vigorously bombarded. on, the 7th and Bth of April, but the enemy was : repulsed with the loss of 7000 men killed, \wounded, and prisoners.
