HUSILIA MAIL.

THORP. APRIL }3.

Within these last tight days, con.iderable move.
menu have taken plate among the French troops ;
and it appears, in particular, that the centre is to
be reinfmrced. The heavy ordnance, cone& dat
GrAudents, has been removed to Dantaic, at the re-
quest of Marshal Lefebvre. because all the ordnance
hitherto employed in the si-ge of that town ha; been
found of too small a calibre. I'he inhatiitents of
thir country, in our neighbourhood, are in a distres-
sing vitas ion, and their extremely dreary,
as the fields cannot be cui, irate/ for wait in corn
for serd.—/ Ilemburgb Correvonrieaen, April '29 I

We have still in oar road Russ All and finglida
frigates, as well as cutters, which greatly awl'
the navigatioa of neutrals, and do mozh mischief
to our traders. As late as re.,terlay a notice
was posted ap at the exchange.. that the English had
stopped four of our merchantmen, which came from
the Levant, an! sent them to Cativo. A proof of
the loss we sustain, in conseq,o-nee of the !stockade,
is this, that our claims oa Rus,is. the justice of

There was • report, last night, of a general
adlion, between the French and conshined Ptaisian
and Russian armies, *Lich lasted sit consecutive
days. It appears to b: merdy a repetition of a
report which wet circulated cons: days since,
without any credit attache" to it. The an ival of
letters and papers from Hatnhorgh, to the 30• h
last, without any intimation to that effed, re:-.ders
the Turnoutr very improbable indeed.

The Elcebrs of Westminster pressed forward
yesterday to the Hastings et Covent-g4rden, to vote
fir Mr. SnctsToarr ; but the Wass BA ILIf r, aang
upon some al:eged inf?froatity on the part of !h
Giultleman, refused to receive them. This ac•
counts for the extraordinary appearance of the po-
pular Candidate without a single vote, in our report
of the proceedings which took place yesterday.—
Tke error, we understand, was zcc:ifi..d last night,
and if Mr. SitERIDAN starts fair this morning, he
will soon pull up his lee say.
