Eisineur, April 3.
By an arrival yesterday in 5 days
from Dantzic, we have the satisfactory
intelligence, that that city is rescued
from its impending panger, by the sea
sonable arrival of 4000 Russians. The
garrison has again taken possession of
the I- air \\ ater, to which the enemv had
advanced. e are assured, front the
same source, that the Russian Grand
Army has luen joined by upwards of
60,000 Iresh troops. A general bat
tle was every day expected to occur.—
I he affairs ol outposts and skirmishes
have been very irequent, and even san
guinary, from the 20th to the end of last
month.— 1 he Prussians join the Russi
ans in considerable numbers: but the
former complain bitterly of the want ot
arms, which th v anxiously xpect from
England. The number o: soldiers with
out arms is very great.
