CHARLESTON, July 22. To the politeness of capt. Callender, of the ship Portland, we are indebted for regular files of the Paris Moniteur, to the 30th May. These furnish two additional bulletins, the last of which is dated at Finkenstein, 20th May, at which time it will be observed, no event of importance had occurred. Times.
TRANSLATED FOR THE TIMES. SEVENTY-FIFTH BULLETIN OF THE G. ARMY. Finkenstein, May 18.
The following are new details of the events of the 15th instant. Marshal Lefebvre makes par- ticular mention of gen. Schramm, to whom he at- tributes in a great measure the success of the en- gagement at Weichselmunde. On the 15th, gen. Schramm was in the battle from 2 o'clock in the morning, covered by two redoubts, which were constructed opposite to the fort of Weichselmunde. He had the Poles on his left, the Saxons in the centre, the second regiment of light infantry on his right, and the regiment of Paris in reserve. The Russian lieut. gen. Kamensky, came out of the fort at day-break, and after two hours fighting, the arrival of the 12th regiment of light infantry, which marshal Lefebvre dispatched from the left bank, and of a Saxon battalion, decided the affair. Of the brigade of Oudinot, only a single battalion could be employed. Our loss was very inconsiderable; a Polish colonel, M. Paris, was killed. The loss of the enemy was greater than it was first conceived; more than 900 dead Russians have been interred, and the whole loss of the enemy cannot be estimat- ed at less than 2,500 men. At present he makes no movement, but appears very cautious and shy behind the enclosure of his fortifications.
The number of bateaux, laden with wounded, which have been sent off, is forty. His majesty has decreed special rewards to those who have distinguished themselves, and whose sig- nal services marshal Lefebvre pointed out.
On the 14th, a division of 5,000 Prussians and Russians, but chiefly Prussians, left Koningsberg, landed at Pillau, marched along the borders of Nehr- ung, and arrived at Kahlberg, before our advanced posts of the grand guard of light cavalry, who reached Furstenwerder. The enemy advanced as far as the extremity of Frisch-haff—it was expected that they would be seen proceeding from thence to Dantzig. A brigade, thrown across the Vistula at Furstenwerder, facilitated the passage of the in- fantry that was cantoned in the island of Nogat, to defile upon the rear of the enemy. But the Prus- sians were aware of this, and would not venture. The emperor gave orders to gen. Beaumont, aide- de-camp to the grand duke of Berg, to attack them. On the 16th, at two o'clock in the morning, this general set out with the brigadier-general Albert, at the head of two battalions of grenadiers of the re- serve corps, the third and eleventh regiments of chasseurs, and a brigade of dragoons. He met the enemy between Passenwerder and Stege, a little be- fore day-break, attacked and defeated him, pursued him sword in hand for eleven miles, took 1,100 prisoners, killed a great many, and carried off four pieces of cannon. Gen. Albert has behaved with perfect gallantry; the majors Cheminau and Sal- voni, distinguished themselves. The third and ele- venth regiments of chasseurs, have displayed the utmost intrepidity. Two brigades of the enemy, who navigated on the Haff, came to annoy us, but a grape-shot, which fell on one of them, made them sheer off.
The enemy has also, since the 12th, experienced considerable losses on several other points. On the 17th, the emperor made the fusiliers of the guard manoeuvre, who are encamped near the Castle of Finkenstein, in barracks, equal in beauty to those at Boulogne. On the 18th and 19th, the whole guard likewise took up their camps in the same place.
In Silesia prince Jerome is encamped with his corps of observation, at Franckenstein, protecting the siege of Neiss. The prince having learned on the 12th, that a column of 3000 men had left Glatz, to surprise Breslau, he made General Lefebvre set off with the first regiment of the Bavarian line, (an excellent regiment) one hundred cavalry and a de- tachment of 300 Saxons. General Lefebvre came up with the rear of the enemy on the 14th, at four o'clock in the morning, near the village of Cauth, he attacked instantly, took the village by the bay- onet, and made 150 prisoners. One hundred of the Bavarian light-horse cut to pieces the enemy's ca- valry and dispersed them, being 500 men strong. The 300 Saxons dismounted—an extraordinary conduct, which must have been the result of some misunderstanding, for the Saxon troops have always behaved bravely, since they were united with the French troops.
This unexpected defection placed the first regiment of the Bavarian line in a critical situation, and oc- casion their loss of 150 men, who were made pri- soners; the rest retreated fighting, and in good or- der; and the enemy re-took the village of Cauth.— At eleven in the forenoon, general Dumay, who had left Breslau at the head of 100 French dragoons, chasseurs and foot hussars, who had been sent to Silesia to be mounted, and a part of whom had al- ready got their horses, attacked the rear of the enemy; 150 of the foot hussars took the village of Cauth with the bayonet, made 100 prisoners, and retook all the Bavarians that had been made prison- ers before. The enemy, to return with greater ease to Glatz, went off in two separate columns. Gen. Lefebvre, who had quitte Scheidevitz on the 15th, fell upon one of their columns, killed 100 men, and made 100 prisoners, among whom are
30 officers. A regiment of Polish Spearmen, of whom Prince Jerome had sent a detachment to ge- neral Lefebvre, having arrived in the morning, greatly distinguished themselves.
The second column of the enemy sought to reach Glatz, by the way of Silberberg; but lieut. col. Ducondrais, the prince's aide-de-camp met them, and put them to rout. Thus this column, consisting of 3 or 4000 men, could not return to Glatz, from which it had issued—the whole were either killed, taken, or dispersed.
Seventy-Sixth Bulletin of the Grand Army. FINCKENSTEIN, May 20.
A fine copper-bottomed corvette, mounting 24 guns and 120 Englishmen, loaded with powder and ball, presented herself in the river, destined for Dant- zig, coming abreast of our works. She was assail- ed by a brisk discharge of musketry, from each shore, which obliged her to bring to. A picquet from the Pussian regiment, jumped on board, and made them prisoners—Among many others, an aide-de- camp of gen. Kalkreuth, who was on his return from the Russian camp, several English officers, &c. &c. This corvette proves to be the Le Sans Peur. Besides the 120 Englishmen, there were 60 Russians on board of her.
The loss of the enemy at the battle of Weichsel- munde, on the 15th, was greater than at first sup- posed. A column of Russians, marching along shore, were bayoneted—1300 Russian corps have been buried.
On the 6th, a division of Russians, commanded by gen. Tarkow, on their route from Brock to the Bug on Pultusk, in order to assist the new works which had been ordered for the purpose of rendering more formidable the tete du pont and which were defended by six battalions of Bavarians, command- ed by the Prince Royal of Bavaria, attacked at four different times said corps, in all of which they have been overthrown by the Bavarians, and langraged (mitraille) by the batteries of the different works. Marshal Massena reports the loss of the enemy to consist of 300 killed, and double that number wound- ed. What renders this affair more remarkable, is that the Bavarians had less than 4000 men.
The prince royal has bestowed much praise on the baron of Wreden, a Bavarian officer of distin- guished merit. The loss of the Bavarians has been 16 killed, and 150 wounded.
There is as much want of sense in the attack on the works of gen. Lemarrois, on the 13th, and of those on Pultusk, the 16th, as existed in the con- struction of a number of rafts in the Bay, about six weeks ago, and which cost the enemy near that time to complete—they were burnt in two hours. The successive attacks made on the above mention- ed works, well entrenched and supported by excel- lent batteries, have not only proved abortive, but have cost the enemy considerable losses, without any prospect of success.
It would appear that these operations have in view the drawing the attention of the French army to its right side; but its position is reasoned on all the grounds, in all the hypothesis, as well defensive as offensive, that could offer. In the mean time the interesting siege of Dantzig advances—the enemy will experience a decided loss, in losing this impor- tant place and the 20,000 men that are enclosed in it. A mine has played on the Blockhausen and has blown up the same. The covered way has been opened by four prime matches. The descent of the ditch has been executed.

WHO HAS FOR SALE. That pleasant place BELL VIEW. It contains TWO HUNDRED Acres, lying on the lower end of Barrett's Neck, Nansemond county, between Nan- semond River and Chuckatuck Creek, fronting Newport-News, Hampton Roads, and is about 14 miles from Norfolk by wa- ter. There is on the land two good Dwelling Houses, one of them a two story frame house, 50 feet square, with a Kitchen, Wash House, Smoke House and Dairy, a large new Barn and Stable, and a Carriage House, a Spring House, and a never-failing Spring. The other a new Dwelling House, a Kitchen, Quarter, &c. with a large Garden newly built of the best materials, and a good Stable. The land lies high and level, and is mostly covered with thicket; it has a ditch and a fence from Nansemond to Chuckatuck, which prevents stock from going off or coming on the land; and is one of the best places for stock or equal to any in the country. The price will hardly exceed the worth of the buildings on the place if applied for soon. The payment will be expected in cash, as the terms will be remarkably low. tf

WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 5, 1807.
In a part of our impression of Monday, we noticed that orders had been received for disbanding the troops under General Mathews, with the exception of Captain Taylor's Cavalry, Captain Nesbitt's Artillery, a company of Princess Ann Militia. These orders were announced upon parade on Monday evening, and the troops accordingly dismissed.
We confess that we can perceive no reason for disbanding the troops now, if they were ever necessary. It is our opinion that troops that are to be calculated upon when wanted, will require some time for discipline. With respect to the force sufficient to protect this place, as stated in the Governor's letter, viz.
"The Cybelle French frigate, the Chesapeake, sixteen Gun Boats, and Forts Nelson and Norfolk," we must be permitted to make a few remarks.
The French frigate, will, no doubt, defend herself when attacked, but we do not exactly perceive how she is to be accounted as a part of our force, nor are we solicitous to seek foreign aid, before we have tried our own strength. If we are to be involved in war, we trust our country will rely on its own strength, and its own resources, which are competent, if once put forth.
In a crisis like the present, we think that all subordinate differences should cease; at the same time it does not follow that we are bound to shut our eyes, or be silent on all measures. We have hinted our objection to calculating on foreign aid. From Fort Nelson and the Chesapeake we have a right to calculate upon every thing being done which is possible. We should like to know, what calculations the government can make on Fort Norfolk, upon which not one dollar of publick money has been expended. Our government relies too much on the volunteer system, for both men and money. We do not mean to dilate on this subject at present, but we are persuaded that there is not three men of understanding in this part of the country, who would rely on that system for defence. We have had a short but satisfactory lesson on this subject. The sixteen Gun Boats would, no doubt, be a considerable acquisition. But where we ask are they?
We notice these matters, because we feel it our duty to do so, and because that when our country is threatened with war, preparations should be proportioned to the danger.
The Virginia Argus, speaking of the disbanding of the troops, says:
"We are happy to find from this information that the president of the United States is convinced that the frigates La Cybelle and Chesapeake, together with the gun-boats now at Norfolk, and others about to be sent thither, aided by the batteries of Fort Nelson and Fort Norfolk, will be sufficient for the defence of that place from any attack which may for some time be expected."
We had not before understood the "La Cybelle" French frigate was considered as a part of the disposable force of the United States.
Yesterday the officers of the 54th regiment, convened and agreed unanimously upon an address to Gen. Mathews, expressive of their approbation of his conduct during his late command. We have heretofore abstained from making any observations upon the severe, indeed illiberal attacks that have been made upon the general. These attacks proceeded from persons who judged without giving themselves the trouble to enquire into facts. We speak with confidence when we say, that the general's conduct upon the late occasion will stand the most rigid investigation.
Capt. Stewart, of the schooner Bellona, from Antigua, informs us, that just as he was about departing from that island, intelligence of the affair of the Leopard and Chesapeake was received. The people of the island appeared much concerned upon the subject. Flour rose immediately one dollar and one half per barrel.
THOSE EDITORS who have proposed an exchange with the Ledger, upon paying the difference, are informed, that the difference in price must be paid in advance, or we shall not forward our paper.
To the Editor of the Publick Ledger.
SIR, I have observed several publications in the Herald, and other prints, calculated to injure my character, and have deemed it only necessary to say, that I have seen them without considering it my duty to reply, as a court of enquiry will shortly convene for the purpose of investigating the affair of the Chesapeake and Leopard, and through that channel the publick may expect a correct knowledge of facts; therefore any publication on my part would be useless and improper. Something more substantial than the mere declarations of the parties concerned, will be required.
Respectfully, I am, sir, your's, &c. JAMES BARRON.
Near Hampton, August 3, 1807.
The Gentlemen who have already enlisted in the Company of Infantry, under the command of Captain Tazewell, together with any others who wish to join that Company, are requested to meet To-Morrow Evening at six o'clock at the Town-Hall, for the purpose of choosing non-commissioned officers, and of arranging finally many other matters of importance to the Company.

DIVISION ORDERS.
4TH DIVISION.
August 1st, 1807.
You are called upon by your Governor to stand forth in defence of your country. Need I exhort Citizen Soldiers to the prompt performance of this first of duties? I persuade myself your feelings supersede the necessity of my interposition. You have heard of the outrage committed on our nation by a captain of the British navy off our Capes—You have understood that this outrage was accompanied by the violation of all those principles which uphold civilization. The rights of hospitality were invaded; the confidence in established amity violated, and in one moment open war was ushered by a prepared foe in the garb of a friend. We were wounded, we were killed—our flag struck, and four of our seamen forcibly taken from on board one of our frigates. The annals of the world since the days of barbarism, present not a like example of hypocrisy and insolence on the one part, and of abused confidence on the other.
The ostensible cause of this daring outrage was, the recovery of four sailors, said to be deserters from a British ship of war, charged with mutiny, and enlisted on board our frigate. Had these sailors been bona fide British subjects, or American citizens who had enlisted in the British service, and who were withheld after demand made in a proper manner, and to the proper officer, even this unwarrantable conduct on our part does not, cannot justify the outrageous mode of reparation resorted to. But we learn from the highest authority, that three of these men were native Americans—This fact adds to the atrocity of the crime committed against our dignity and name. Native Americans rarely enlist in foreign service—Had this been the case now, it would have been ascertained and acknowledged by government—We must therefore presume, that these unfortunate citizens were impressed on board British ships of war, and their righteous abandonment of such service has been wrongfully called desertion—Should this well grounded presumption prove to be true, where and how do we stand as a nation? Can human wit devise, or human power perpetrate an act more hostile or more pointed against our sovereignty and our honour? Submission to it is the lowest notch in the scale of national degradation—Suspension of our just wrath in hope of reparation, however warranted by policy, and urged by humanity, puts character in doubt—Peace with all its sweets may be too dearly purchased—It is always so, when character is forgotten—It is our duty, as it will be our pride, to wait with patience, until our government shall take its last decision. This must depend on the answer from the king of the British—Should justice, guided by wisdom, dictate that answer, then may the blessings of peace be continued to both nations. If, as there is much reason to expect, the vile outrage practised upon us, in the hour of profound peace, should be maintained, the last appeal cannot be deferred. High Heaven delights in right—Let us by our valour prove ourselves worthy of defending that cause, to which its immutable ways declare its preference—We shall thus prove ourselves worthy the lofty inheritance achieved by the wisdom and courage of our fathers—We shall manifest to the world, that the bright example of our dear and great Washington, and his sage maxims, have sunk deep into our hearts; and we shall present to our unjust foe a front of bayonets in the hands of freemen, estimating peace with honour, as the highest national good, and estimating peace with dishonour, as the deepest national curse.
To the young men of the division placed under his direction by the laws of our country, their general addresses himself with earnestness, because he was once young like them, and then experienced the honourable toils and perils of war. The season of youth is the season for battle—War is upon us, and you are young—Advance, stop the cold and erring allotment by draft—Present yourselves to your officers, volunteers, in obedience to the will of Congress—You do the greatest good to your country; you do the greatest ill to your enemy; and you prove yourselves fitted for the important epoch, to meet which nature destined you. Act well your part, and during life you will receive the cheering approbation of all around you; and when no more, you will be hailed by a grateful posterity as the true sons of your gallant fathers.
The detachment required to be furnished from the fourth division is specified in the annexed detail.—The brigadier generals are requested to give their best efforts to encourage the volunteer levy, and to report progress from time to time—Failing, they will proceed to make the draft as directed in general orders.
Lieutenant colonel Smith will give directions to the officers of cavalry in all matters requisite for their due organization, and make report thereof to the major general. In like manner major Taylor, commandant of artillery, will order and report—The latter will be duly forwarded to lieutenant colonel Fleming, commandant of the regiment. The surgeons cannot perform a more acceptable duty, nor give a more amiable proof of their zeal, than by vaccinating the troops as soon as they are enrolled. The facility with which this operation may be performed induces the hope, that it will be duly executed.
The major general's solicitude to carry into effect the general orders in the most complete and satisfactory manner, has induced him to direct his aids-de-camp to visit whenever necessary, the brigadiers and commandants of cavalry and artillery, for the purpose of receiving, and communicating such occurrences as may in any degree be interesting to the promotion of the service. He relies with great confidence on the zealous co-operation of his officers of every grade, and flatters himself that their united exertions will readily produce not only the full force demanded, but of the sort so anxiously desired by his excellency the governor.
Major Turner is appointed aid-de-camp, vice Custis, removed out of the state, and he is to be respected accordingly.

Extract of a letter from a British officer at Halifax, to a gentleman in New-York, dated July 14.
"I applied on my arrival here to Vice-Admiral Berkeley for leave of absence on my private affairs for two months, which he readily granted. I had good interest with him, the Rt. Rev. Dr. Ingliss, the bishop of this province, asked it as a favour. I had taken my passage in an American ship that had been sent here by one of our sloops of war, but was released immediately by the Court of Admiralty. While waiting a change of wind, the Columbine sloop of war, lord Townsend, arrived and brought
the account of that distressing affair at Norfolk. The Admiral sent his secretary to say, "that from the accounts he had received from the United States it would be highly improper in him to suffer any British officer to go to any part of the United States; also added, he had no sort of doubt of an immediate rupture between the two countries." I pray Heaven to prevent it, as it will materially injure the trade of the two finest countries on earth. The commerce of England and America covers the ocean, and they are almost the only flags you will meet with on the ocean; then why go to war? Every thing here is in the most active state of preparation: in the King's dock yards all the hands work double tides, and every thing that can float is getting ready for sea. A number of furnaces for heating red-hot balls have been shipped for the squadron in the Chesapeake, and in short there are as active preparations on foot as if war was actually declared."
WASHINGTON CITY, July 31.
Arrived here on Wednesday, the U. S. schooner Enterprise, capt. Porter, in 35 days from the Mediterranean. Capt. P. left the frigate Constitution and Hornet at Syracuse. He states the information of a rupture between the Barbary powers and Great-Britain to be unfounded. Capt. Porter likewise furnishes the following intelligence:
Some time in May a deputation was sent by the Bey governing Rosetta, to the commander in chief of the British forces at Alexandria, inviting him to come with his troops and take possession of the place; and stating, that on his appearing before Rosetta, the keys of the city should be delivered him. The British commander, pleased with the proposal, marched next day with 3,000 men for Rosetta, and agreeably to the promise of the Bey, received the keys, marched into the publick square, and was about allotting quarters to the different officers, and making arrangements for guards, &c.
when, at that moment, the tops of the houses were covered with Turkish troops, who commenced a heavy fire on them, and killed great numbers of the British. The British commander seeing his men fall in every direction about him, without a possibility (from their crowded situation, and from the secure position of the Turks) of defending themselves, ordered a retreat. They fought their way to the city gates through a tremendous fire, but found them in possession of the enemy, with whom they had a severe struggle, before they could gain possession of them—they at length succeeded in getting out, where they found a body of between 4 and 5,000 horse ready to attack them. They then formed a hollow square, fought their way down to Alexandria, and of the 3,000 men, 1,500 were killed, among whom were two general officers. The Turks shewed them no quarters, and as they were unable to bring off their wounded, they all fell a sacrifice to Turkish fury. The bodies of the two general officers were, however, brought off and sent to Malta to be interred.
Admiral Louis, died about the middle of June at Malta.
About the 15th June a great battle took place in the province of Constantine, between the forces of the Dey of Algiers and the Bey of Tunis, which was said to terminate in favour of the former; in consequence of which there was great rejoicing at Algiers. The war between those two powers appears to be carried on with great vigour; and the Portuguese squadron formerly stationed at Gibraltar have proceeded off Algiers (as is supposed) to co-operate with the latter. Sidi Soliman Meli Meli was at Gibraltar when he left there, and had purchased military stores, which he had sent to Tunis.
The whole of the coast of Barbary is declared by the Russians to be in a state of blockade, and a number of small Russian privateers are on that coast.
A communication was made in June, by the Marquis de Circeillo, prime minister to his majesty the king of Sicily, to Mr. Gibbs, American consul at Palermo, announcing to him that his majesty had declared every part of his dominions then in possession of his enemies, in a state of blockade.
His imperial majesty the emperor of Morocco, has given orders that no vessels of any nation whatever, coming empty, bringing with them only cash, goods that pay no duty, or ballast, shall be permitted to enter the port of Magadore; but that such vessels shall be immediately turned away, as his majesty is desirous of reaping some benefit from his intercourse with Christians.
It is said an attempt will be made on Naples by his Sicilian majesty shortly, as there are but few French troops now in that city, and as his party their still remains strong, notwithstanding the rigid means that have been used by the present government there to reduce their number.
On the 16th of May, about 40 sail of Sicilian transports sailed under convoy from Messina for Palermo, for the purpose of taking in troops.
The British and Sicilian troops possess a small part of Calabria Ulterior. The rest is occupied by the French troops.
A Gibraltar paper of the 30th May, expresses a fear that Gen. Wauchop had been killed, and Gen. Meade severely wounded, at Rosetta.
CHILLICOTHE, July 23.
Extract of a letter from Lexington, (K.) to a gentleman of this town, dated July 15.
"Mr. Blannerhasset was arrested in this place yesterday, and Thomas Todd, circuit judge of the United States, has directed the marshal to take him on to the city of Richmond, in Virginia, where he has been indicted for high treason. He is confined in the jail of this place, until the marshal is ready to proceed with him."
NEW-YORK, July 27.
From Malta.—Capt. Houston, of the brig America, who arrived at Baltimore on Friday last, in 46 days from Malta, informs, that about a fortnight before he left Malta, accounts were received of the English having been defeated at some village in the neighbourhood of Alexandria, in Egypt, with the loss of 1500 killed and wounded, and that while at Malta two of the bodies of their generals killed in the action, were brought there. It was reported that the British admiral Louis was dead.
Capt. H. likewise informs, that the British cruisers in the Mediterranean captured every American vessel they fell in with.
A number of American vessels were to sail from Smyrna and Gallipoli during the month of June, which were expected to be taken and carried into Malta, as it was impossible to escape the privateers in that part of the Mediterranean.

LONDON, May 27.
Copy of a letter from the President of the United States of America to the King of Holland, intercepted by one of the ships of the North Sea squadron, under the command of admiral Russell.
GREAT AND GOOD FRIEND,
Having received your letter of September last, which notifies your accession to the Throne of Holland, I tender you, in behalf of the United States, my congratulations on this event. Connected with that nation by the earliest ties of friendship, and maintaining with them uninterrupted relations of peace and commerce, no event which interests their welfare can be indifferent to us. It is, therefore, with the greatest pleasure I receive the assurances of your Majesty that you will continue to cherish those ancient relations, and we shall, on our part, endeavour to strengthen your good will by faithful observance of justice, and by all the good offices which occasion shall permit.
Distant as we are from the powers of Europe, and devoted to pursuits which separate us from their affairs, we still look with brotherly concern on what affects those nations, and offer constant prayers for their welfare. With a friendly solicitude for your majesty's person, I pray God that he may always have you, great and good Friend, in his holy keeping.
Written at the city of Washington, the 28th February, 1807.
Your good Friend.
THOMAS JEFFERSON.
By order of the President,
J. MADISON, Secretary of State.
We regret to learn, that no doubt whatever exists of the capture of the Seahorse frigate, off Ge-

noa, by a French squadron. It will be recollected that she sailed from England with a valuable convoy and money on board to pay our troops at Malta. She was on her return when she fell in with the enemy.
Yesterday admiral Sir John Duckworth arrived at Portsmouth in his flag-ship, the Royal George. He is, we understand, come home for the purpose of meeting an enquiry into his conduct with respect to the proceedings of the British squadron under his command off Constantinople and in the Dardanelles. It is confidently stated that Sir Sidney Smith is to be his principal accuser. That gallant officer's arrival in England is daily expected.
MUTINY AT MALTA.
"VALETTE (Malta) April 16, 1807.
"On Saturday the 4th of April, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, this city was alarmed by a most daring mutiny in the regiment of Froberg, consisting of foreigners of every description, quartered in the fortresses on the opposite side of the harbour of Valette, called the Riscasoli.
"Adjutant Swartz, on being advised of the intended mutiny, sallied out with his other officers, determined to quell it in its infancy, but did not succeed; himself and captain Whitfield fell victims in the attempt—the major and others were wounded.
"In the fortress on duty, was a part of the British royal artillery, commanded by captain Fade, who were immediately disarmed and remained under the control of the mutineers, and compelled by them to load the cannon and mortars, and point them towards the city of La Valette, or wherever otherwise they thought proper to order them. The soldiers of the regiment who were not of the number of the mutineers, embraced the opportunity that offered to effect their escape and a great number accomplished it, though many of them were shot at by the mutineers in making the attempt; several of those unfortunate men were wounded and others shot dead. The ringleaders on the 3d day, possibly with a view to get supplies of provisions, opened the great gates of the fort, placing centinels in the usual order, of which opportunity on the 5th day, about 300 availed themselves, taking with them the major of the regiment wounded, in a litter, and the officers, together with captain Fade and the artillery men, and all the English women with their children.—The two centinels attempted to oppose this party, who were immediately shot dead by them.
"In this fortress was a large powder magazine, containing about 500 barrels of gunpowder, at which an artillery man was placed centinel, from whom the mutineers demanded entrance into the magazine, which he boldly refused at the expence of his life, as they instantly put him to death.
"The numbers of the mutineers in the fort, in consequence of the continued desertions, was reduced to a few, and on Friday the 10th inst. at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, they fired two bombs at this city, which happily did no injury. It was resolved to storm the place at day break the next morning, and take them by surprise, ere they could have time to put in execution their threatened purpose of blowing up the powder magazine.
"The walls were scaled, but a dog giving the alarm frustrated the plan. Six of the eight remaining, retired to the magazine; the other two were cut off from the magazine. They, however, fired two bombs towards the city, which providentially did no injury.
"On Sunday evening, at 10 o'clock, the six resolved to blow up the magazine in order to make their escape, which they effected.
"In the magazine were from 4 to 500 barrels of powder, which made a most tremendous explosion; unfortunately the plan was suspected, and only a small number of troops were therefore placed in the port to watch their motions and prevent their escape, and to surprise them if an opportunity offered; happily, therefore, only three soldiers became their victims and two or three wounded.
"The shock of the explosion did infinite damage to the windows, and one of the shells burst in passing over my house.
"The mutineers fled into the interior of the island, and are since taken. The last of them (a black) was taken this morning, disguised in woman's clothes, on whom fell the lot to blow up the magazine.
"On Monday last a court martial was held at the town house, on 25 of the mutineers, supposed to be the ringleaders, one of whom at the gallows was respited, the others executed—ten hanged and fourteen shot."
PARIS, May 26.
The operations preparatory to the levy of 1808, are everywhere made with a promptitude and regularity which promise the most happy results. The young men have testified a devotion and a confidence without bounds. In a great number of cantons, the draught was followed by feasts, at which the gaiety of the conscripts designated, was particularly remarked. The number of absentees, not considerable in former years, is this year still less.
One of the causes which will contribute most powerfully to the success of this levy, is the severity which the tribunals have shown, for some months, against all those agents of corruption, those sharps of every description, who, pretending an imaginary influence, have made shameful speculations on the exemption of the conscripts, and have laid under contribution the credulity of families.
June 4.
Dantzick capitulated on the 24th May; the French troops entered the place on the morning of the 26th.
Yesterday at noon the cannon were fired to announce to the publick this happy event. The official bulletin will give the particulars of the capture.
Gen. Rapp is appointed governor of the fortress of Dantzick.
Seventy-Seventh Bulletin of the French Grand Army. Finkenstein, May 27.—Dantzick has capitulated. This fine place is in our power; 800 pieces of artillery, magazines of all kinds, more than 500,000 quintals of grain, considerable cellars of liquors, immense provisions of cloth and groceries, every kind of necessaries for the army, in short a place of the greatest strength supporting our left as Thorn supports our centre, and Prag our right, these are the advantages obtained during the winter, and which have signalized the leisure of the Grand Army. It is the first, the finest fruit of the victory
of Eylau. The rigor of the season, and snow which has added new difficulties to it, have been no obstacles to our labours.—Marshal Lefebvre has surmounted every thing. He has animated with the same spirit, the Saxons, the Poles, the Badens, and has united them all to his purpose.
The difficulties which the artillery has had to encounter, were considerable. One hundred mouths of fire, 500,000 lbs. of powder, an immense quantity of bullets have been drawn from Stettin, and other places in Silesia. It had been necessary to vanquish the difficulties of transportation, but the Vistula has afforded a means prompt and easy.—The marines of the guard have forced a passage for the boats, under the fort of Graudentz, with their usual resolution and ability. Gen. Chasseloup and gen. Riegner, col. Lacoste, and in general all the officers, have served in the most distinguished manner. The miners have shown a rare intrepidity. All the corps of artillery, commanded by gen. Laribiniere has sustained its reputation. The second regiment of light infantry, the 12th and the Parisian troops, the gen. Schramm, and the gen. Puthod have distinguished themselves. A detailed journal of this siege, will be prepared with fidelity and care. It will consecrate a great number of brave actions worthy to be recorded as future examples, and deeds calculated to excite enthusiasm and admiration.
May 17, the mine has stopped the passage of the covered way. The 19th, the descent and the passage of the fosse were executed at 7 o'clock at night. The 21st, marshal Lefebvre having prepared every thing for assault, they mounted, when col. Lacoste, who had been sent in the morning into the place, made it known that gen. Kalkreuth requested to capitulate on the same terms which had formerly been granted to the garrison of Mayence. This was agreed to. Makelsburg would have been taken without any great loss, but the main body of the place was entire; a large ditch, filled with water, presented many obstacles to the besiegers, and would have prolonged the defence for 15 days—this being the case, it was thought proper to grant them an honourable capitulation.
On the 27th the garrison marched out with gen. Kalkreuth at their head. This strong garrison which at first consisted of 16,000 men, was reduced to 9,000, of which number 4,000 deserted.—There are even some officers among the deserters. "We do not wish," say they, "to go to Siberia." Many thousand artillery horses have been delivered to us, but they are in a very bad condition. An inventory of the magazines is now making. Gen. Rapp is appointed gov. of Dantzick.
The Russian gen. Kamenski, after having been beaten on the 15th, had retired under the fortifications of Weichselmunde, where he had remained without daring to undertake any thing, a witness to the reduction of the place. When he saw batteries of red hot balls established for destroying his vessels, he embarked and returned to Pillau.
The fort of Weichselmunde still holds out, marshal Lefebvre summoned it on the 26th, and while the capitulation was drawing up, the garrison came out, and surrendered themselves. The commandant, thus abandoned, saved himself by sea. Thus we have become masters of the city and port of Dantzick. These events form a happy presage of the future campaign. The emperor of Russia and king of Prussia were at Heiligenbeil. They must have learnt the reduction of the place by the cessation of the firing. The cannonading could be heard at that distance.
The emperor, in order to express his satisfaction with the besieging army, has made a present to every soldier.
The siege of Graudentz has commenced under the command of gen. Victor, gen. Lasouskie commands the engineers, and gen. Danthouan the artillery. Graudentz is very strong, on account of the quantity of mines it possesses.
The cavalry of the army is in high order. The divisions of light cavalry, two divisions of cuirassiers, and one of dragoons, were reviewed at Elbing on the 26th, by the grand duke of Berg. On the same day his majesty went to Bischofven and Stralsburg, where he reviewed the divisions of cuirassiers of Hautpoul and the division of dragoons of gen. Grouchy. He was satisfied with their appearance and the excellent condition of their horses.
The ambassador of the Porte, Seid-Mahomed Emen-Vahid, was presented on the 28th, at two o'clock, by the prince of Benevento, to the emperor, to whom he delivered his credentials. He remained an hour in his majesty's cabinet. Helodges in the castle, and occupies the apartment of the grand duke of Berg, absent for the review. We are assured that the emperor told him, that he and the emperor Selim, should thenceforward be inseparable friends. The good news of the success at Ismail and Wallachia is just received; the Russians have been obliged to raise the siege of Ismail, and evacuate Wallachia.
CAPITULATION OF DANTZICK.
After a long resistance, the trenches being open 31 days, imperious circumstances having rendered it necessary to treat for the surrender of Dantzick to the troops of his majesty, the emperor of the French and king of Italy, and to those of his allies, it is agreed between his excellency the general of cavalry Count de Kalkreuth, knight of the order of the Black Eagle, and the general of division Drouet, commandant of the legion of honor, and grand cross of the royal order of Bavarian, major-general of the 10th corps of the grand army, furnished with powers by his excellency marshal of the empire, Lefebvre, commander in chief of the said corps, that the garrison capitulate as follows:—
 I. The garrison shall march out on the 27th inst. at 9 in the morning, with arms and baggage, columns flying, drums beating, matches lighted, two pieces of cannon with covered waggons, and drawn by 6 horses each.  II. The rest of the horses of artillery shall be put into the hands of the French army.  III. Every species of arms which shall exceed the complement of the sub-officers and soldiers marching out, shall be delivered to artillery officers, to be designated.  IV. The garrison shall be conducted to the out posts of the army of his majesty the king of Prussia, at Pillau, passing by Nehrong, and in 5 days march; the magazines shall be fixed.  V. The garrison engages not to serve against the French, nor their allies, during one year, counting from the date of the capitulation. General Count Kalkreuth, his highness the Prince of Scherfatour 
and the officers, stipulate on their word of honour, to fulfil, and cause the present article to be fulfilled.
VI. On the 26th at noon, Hakelsberg, Oliva, Jacob, and Newgarden, shall be delivered to the troops of his majesty the emperor of the French and king of Italy, and those of his allies.
VII. The officers, sub-officers and soldiers, now prisoners of war at Dantzick, whether belonging to the army of his majesty the emperor, or those of his allies, shall be restored without exchange.
VIII. To avoid any disorder, the troops of his majesty the emperor, and those of his allies, will not enter Dantzick until after the departure of those of Prussia and Russia.—Nevertheless, there shall be guards at the posts.
IX. As the means of transport are insufficient to convey the baggage, a batteau shall be employed to go directly to Pillau, to be under the care of a French officer.
X. Officers shall be named on both sides to procure and deliver up the matters belonging to each army, without forgetting the charts and plans, &c.
XI. The magazines and generally whatever belongs to the king, shall be delivered to the French administration. A commissary shall be named for this purpose, to deliver the same to whomsoever his Ex. M. Lefebvre shall appoint.
XII. The Prussian officers who were prisoners upon parole, and who were with their families in Dantzick before the blockade of the place, may remain there, to wait the new orders of his highness the prince of Neufchatel, major-general; but to enjoy this advantage, they must produce a certificate from the governor, attesting that they have taken no part in the defence of the place.
XIII. The officers ladies and others, or citizens, shall be at liberty to leave the city: passports will be delivered to them.
XIV. The wounded and sick shall be left to the kindness of his excellency marshal Lefebvre. Officers and surgeons shall remain with them, as well to take care of them as to provide for their wants. As soon as their health shall be re-established, they shall be sent to the out posts of the Russian army, and partake in the advantages of the capitulation.
XV. An exact register of the officers, sub-officers, and soldiers, by regiments, shall be delivered to his excellency Marshal Lefebvre. In a particular register are comprehended the militia remaining in the hospital.
XVI. His excellency marshal Lefebvre, assures the inhabitants of Dantzick, that he will employ means to cause persons and property to be respected and to maintain order in the garrison.
XVII. A superior officer shall be sent to the respective quarters to guarantee the execution of this capitulation.
His excellency the governor has named Major Lestocq.
His excellency Marshal Lefebvre, Lefebvre, has named the adjutant commandant Gauchard.
XVIII. The present capitulation shall take effect if, on the 25th at noon, the garrison shall not have been succoured. It is understood, that until that time the garrison of Dantzick, shall make no attack upon the besiegers, supposing that those should be beaten without the place.
Done at Dantzick, 24th May, 1807. (Here follow the signatures.)
HAMBURGH, May 27.
The master of a Norwegian vessel, who left Pillau on the 19th, says, that the Prussians have been defeated in the different combats on the Nehrong, and that the French, by means of a certain number of Prussian vessels of which they are in possession, have become masters of Pillau.
We learn that the Spanish troops, have already passed, on the 21st, through Gottingen.
The same letters say that the supplying the Russian and Prussian armies with provisions is attended with great difficulties, owing to the Neva not being yet open.
ELBING, May 22.
Every one expects to see the campaign open immediately after the taking of Dantzick. The French army is superb, full of ardour and animated with the best spirit.—There are scarcely any sick; and it has been experienced that military operations strengthen the health of our soldiers. In the state of force and vigour, and especially in the state of confidence in which the Grand Army is, it is capable of sustaining any fatigues. It is impatient to finish the war with the Russians; and it will assuredly not lose any opportunity of beating them.
The ground begins to wear the appearance of Spring; vegetation goes on much quicker in this country than in France.

THE LIFE OF GENERAL WASHINGTON,
Complete in 5 volumes 8vo. with an elegant PORTRAIT, and a variety of MARS, is now ready for subscribers, and a few copies for sale by JAMES TUCKER.
The following remarks from a late London publication, attest the high opinion entertained of this authentick and interesting work.
"The publick will learn with interest that the literary monument which has long been projected to the memory of the most illustrious character of modern times, is at length completed. No apology can be requisite for erecting such a monument to him, who was the first in war, the first in peace, and the first in the hearts of his fellow citizens: to him who was the founder of a great and prosperous empire, and whose moderation and pure patriotism challenge the imitation of all statesmen. This performance of judge Marshall has already been distinguished by the most honorable & unequivocal testimonies; it has been hailed as an acquisition to standard literature; and it has been considered as deserving, in point of execution, a place by the side of Robertson's Charles the Fifth, and as unrivalled in the authenticity of its materials, by any work in the entire compass of history and biography.

SLOOP EXPERIMENT, FOR PASSENGERS ONLY. ELIHU S. BUNKER, Begs leave to inform his friends and the public, that he will, on the first of July, commence running a Sloop of about 110 tons burthen, between the cities of New-York and Hudson, for the purpose of carrying passengers. Few people who have had occasion to take passage up or down the North River, but have experienced the inconvenience and risque of going on board vessels deeply loaded and lumbered on deck: therefore captain Bunker has determined to take no freight on board the Experiment, which will remedy that inconvenience and entirely do away the risque. The owners of this vessel being desirous to render the passage as short, convenient, and agreeable as possible, have not only taken care to furnish her with the best Beds, Bedding, Liquors, Provisions, &c. but they have been at very great expense and trouble in procuring materials and for the accommodation of ladies and gentlemen travelling on business or for pleasure. The Experiment will leave New-York every Wednesday evening precisely at 6 o'clock, and Hudson every Sunday morning at 8 o'clock, throughout the season. Capt. Bunker having been several years engaged in the freight business between New-York and Hudson, has become well acquainted with every part of the river; and he hopes by attention and punctuality, to merit the patronage of ladies and gentlemen from the southward, who may visit the celebrated Ballston, Saratoga, and Lebanon Springs, or travellers who may have occasion to travel through the northern states.—The shortness of the passage to Hudson when compared with that to Albany or any place above Hudson, (where the river is impeded by bars, islands and overslows, that render it impossible for fast-sailing vessels to pass) he thinks will induce most people who are acquainted with the difference, to take passage to Hudson, where carriages or boats can at all times be had, at a moderate expense, to convey them to Albany, Troy, Lansingburgh, or the Lebanon Springs, which are about 30 miles distance. HUDSON, May 1807. 12 1/2w
