GOTTENBVRGIIWAIL. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM IGOT , T4NBITOR, DATED AUG. 3, 1807., " The English Sloop of War the Musquito ar rived here the day before yeSterday, when,an fficer landed for the purpose of procuring Pilots for the Belts, but without success ; and yesterday .the English Fleet destined for the Baltic passed, this place. Thirty Sail were seen from the rocks. As the, wind has been very fair, they must before this time have reached Copenhagen." Private Letters ,from Copenhagen, 'received bi yesterdays post, state---“ That Gem BERNADOTTE (the Prince of Popte Corvo) • was with the ,Prince Royal of Denmark, at Keil, and that a large French Army waited his 'commands. If this be true, the English Fleet could not have arrived at a more criti cal jun&ure. We have no news to-day from Stroh -sund." MARGATE, AUG. 11. This scene 'of motley visitation bas hitherto been. bat thinly attended ; but the tides of people begin now to pont in'. Few large families have arrived, and not many of the more bustling classes of life. Broad Stairs *also haS bad few visitors, ,The may be Said 'of - Rainigife, but we all expel a pros perous autumn. Plenty of lodgings may be bad at present, very reasonable, but they may be expeCted to rise as the company augnients. There has been no great addition to our theatrical company since Mr. and Mrs. KEMBLE left ust Yesterday the ex cellent Comedy of The Clanilestitp,Marriage. was performed to a tolerable audience,. and vas altoge ther well supported. ,LOVEGROV, fro:n..

It is strange that so good a performer has not attracted the discerning eyes of:the London Managers. Mrs. TAYLOR, an actress_ that well deserves a station on the London stage, was ex cellent in Mrs. Heidelberg. A young ',tidy wade her first appearance in Fanny, but, was so timid it is impossible to say what , she will prove. All.our other places of amusement are well supplied with every thing calculated to gratify the taste of our London visitors, and we are by no means afraid, but rather in hopes, of being eaten out of our houses and homes. THE SWORD OF FREDERICK THE GREAT. Our Readers have not forgotten the splendid Fes tival given at Paris, and the eloquent speech made by PoRTALts, on the occasion of the sword of FRE: 7 DERICK the GREAT being deposited in the Hotel des Invalides. It has . since appeared that this Military retie, like most of those of the Chrq - ch, is not ge nuine. Major-General VON HINRICHS has pub lished, in alespedable German Journal, a letter an- thenticating this fad, of which the following is the conchiSion . . . "At the time of the solemn interment .of FRE. DERICK the GREAT, I was at Potsdirn 'Officers of the Staff were placed as guard over die coffin,. while it lay in state., The turn came <td VON HAHNEFELDT, who ll was. Commander-of Ro; birg's (now Le s t o cq's) Battalion of Grenadier Guards. As the Guard was relieved, 1 met him on the square below the Palace. He talked about the "de parted hero : in the course of the conversation, he laid his right hand upon my ,shoulder,‘ and, with tears in • his eyes, said, " 1 have servedAlte old •! ' King like an honest man 'these fifty yets,And'i have at last committed a theft againat.-hiin:'.' On my asking for an explanation, he put , ihlisleft • band to the hilt of .his sword, and said, "This is. his sword ; I have rung the changes ; mine lies ulfop-' the coffin ; but, [putting hii hand upon my lips} "nee babbling." I promised secrecy, and kept it.

Ey 'the Peace cf Presburgh,- Austria lost three millions of inhabitants, and a revenue of t 6 millions of,guilders.. The Peace of Tilsit has been still more pufortunate for the - Prussian Monarchy, having di.- iminished it nearly one-half. - Instead of ten millions ,of inhabilants, not more than rive nowremaiti un- . .der the Prassian Sceptre; and the revenue, which formerly amounted to forty millions of dollars, has been decreased in a still greater proportion, since the ceded Provinces are exaaly those which are the richest and the to;kt fertile, and on whose. improve-I ment many millions have heretofore been expended.. AlMost all that Prussia gained by the partition of Poland is again .wrested from her. Saxony, the late confederate of Prussia, by 'compulsion, has received these PrOvinces ; and. Russia, the most poWerftil Ally of the latter, has been rounded by territory', containing a population of 9.00,000 souls. The fol .lowing is a statement of the Losses of Prussia by the Teace.of Tilsit. ' _ • , .. ..-, WESTPHAL lAN I'OSSES§IONS. German inhabi - ' square miles. tauts.

The King of Saxony has more terri tory and more subjects, as Duke of Warsaw, than as King. While the sun of Saxony is thus rising with new splendour, two of the most ancient Ger-. man Princely House, those of the Catti and Guelph have fallen, and pensions are assigned to their Princes. The application of ALEX/OMER alone has saved the two Duchies, whose Sovereigns are allied to him by marriage Mecklenburgh Schwerin, and Saxe-Cuburgh. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. ST. P.E.TER6BURGII, JULY 11.-A Supplement to our Court Gazette of to-day, contains the following Official statement ,concerning the Battle of kried land : •• On' the sth of June (0. S.). the whole of the 'Reserve and part _of' the Cavalry-were .dispatched tqWards Friedland. The French Regiments of Ca !.valrY, who were already arrived there, were driven 'back and defeated. Our whole Army also marched to Fuiedland. ,“ On the 2d of June there followed a bloody en gagement. At five in the 'morning, the enemy be gan the attack. According to the declarations of the prisonerS, the troops consisted Merely of the corps of General OUDINOT ; but the whole of the French Alny . soon made its appearance with superior Corr., Our. troops maintained their position h great resolution; and manfully repelled the most vehement attacks. 'Whole colum»s of the enemy were destroyed, and one flag was taken. The battle lasted . 14 hours, and all the exertions of the enemy failed when direaed against the resolution and tout age of Russian warriors ; but at seven ,in the even., • ing, the. attack was renewed byiresh and poWerful columns of the enemy, and, being supported by the. cavalry, they rushed with vehemence (as in cases of storm) upon our centre, and obliged it to give way. 'Our troops withdrew over the Alle, and took the, roactto Allenburgh. Our loss in killed and wound ed, /111101S1113 to 10,000 men. Among time slain are Mitjor-Generals Baron PAHLEN and . 114 Aso ws 1, and Colonel liana; among the 'wonnded are Major ,Generals STEINNELL, SUKIN, and MARKOFF. The loss of the enemy must have been very great. • "On the 3d of June our troops marched from Al lenbtirgh to Wehlau, and took.a position on the right bank 'of the Pregel. As two newly formed divisions were 'now Marching towards our army, and had al ' ready approached the Niemen (Memel), the Corn , wander in Chief General BENNIGSEN resolved to re treat to Tilsit, inorder to unite himself to them. • " In the mean while the.'enemy did not impede thiS* Movement, nor even the junaion of Lieutenant *Generld L'Esroca's corps with the army; difficult "as this was. . " 'On the 6th of June, our army approached the tpwn of Tilsit, and after it had transported all the heavy baggage, it crossed the Niemen, and stationed Itself on the great plain, on the right side opposite Having taken this advantageous position, and expheing the arrival of the supphes..which were ap prda6hing, the Commander in Chief sent a Flag of Truce to the hostile army, proposing an Armistice ; ihe consequenee was, a flag from the enemy an.! .nouncing a disposition to negotiate." . laVe are looking forward to the conclusion of Peace. ALEXANDER will return to us, adorned with thepahn of peace, and will be received with shouts of jtif by his grateful people.

About half past one o'clock', Mr. Smith, theanc.;. tioneer, who has succeeded to this.trust, in conse quence of the death of Mr. Farnham - , who hitherto sold the King's - Sheep, opened the - business by a short but appropriate speech to the company, on his Majesty's gracious intentions in taking this mode of disseminating this inestimable kind of Sheep ; and stated,' that the Rams now before them had, On the average, sheared tun). each of washed wool, and the Ewes four pound and a half on the average; y the wool this' year having, been washed on the Sheep's backs, before shearing, aecording, to the English method. He noticed the body of evidence which has been adduced, of these Sheep being hardy enough to endure the climateof Shetland, and any of the,Northern British Isles. The biddings then commenced, and the whola were sold as follows, viz. Lot, Cs. I for 13i Mr. Hunt. 2 16i Mr. Mackenzie 3 a Mr. Beard 4 y3i H.

CROYDON, SATURDA,Y, AUGUST R. Thomas Rutledge, a gentea l oo ki n g man , was indi6ted for stealing a one-pound note and two guineas and a half in the .shop of George Waugh, at Guiltord. The Prisoner was a shopman to Mr. Waugh, a linen-draper, at Guilford, who, having occasion to suspealhe honesty of the Prisoner, marked some money that was in the till. One seven-shillings piece he traced, that the Prisoner had changed at the play-house door during the last races. He ac- cused him with the theft, and the Prisoner imme .diatelf confessed it. Be was found G u ilty, and sentenced to seven years transportation. The business here finished, The :Judges left the town, but the Chief Justice' was expeaed to re turn on Monday to try trifling cases of assault, which were removed from the last Session. Four priconers only received sentence of death, and . none, untkrstood, would b e l e f t f or exe cution. • ' Wilson, the taylor, for the assault upon Elizabeth Palmer, was sentenced to one year.; iinprisountent. SATURDAY, AUGUST 8. GOWI2II V. SIR Tliott4S Tt7ltToll, BART. This was a Special Jury Cause, acid was stated by Serjeant SHEPHERD to be brought , to recover it com- • pensation in damages tbr cleteriorationsi o the Plain tiff's manor, by felling trees.. The main points in this cause were, that Sir Thomas Tutton, who re sides at Starborough Castle, in this County, pa., ing a quit rent to the Lord of the' Manor ct . field; in which is insulated another manor called Brinkhohn,' wishing to impreve the view from the Castle, and put the approaches in order, dug a Ha Ha, next the waste . abutting on Long bridge-lane: grubbed up the old hedge that ran within side, and in' the end cut down such of the trees as were an interruption to his' view. Mr. Gower, who it was stated does not live on very good terms with his neighbours or tenants, in vain re monstrated ; Sir Thomas still continued his .iin -provementS,' gaining at each place a breadth' cf ground from the waste; to stop this plan was the jet of the alion. A cloud of aged witnesses were called to prove usages, customs, &c. and - the elo quence of Serjeants SHEPHERD and BEST, wi t h M r; GARROW;, were exert e d i n arguing the points of law ; which ultimately was decided tbr, the De fendant.
