his faithful city. the King proposed to the Frene
Commanding General, that Stralsund should ha
decd :red a neutral place. audits neutrality respeetec
on boil: sides, as king as the Swedish army shout,
remain in possession of Rug-n, 'and Swedish P.,me-
rania be ncLudied by the French troops; but mi•
proposal u.,s raj/fled by the enemy.
In this situation of affairs. and as the l-iver dr
fence of the fortress of Stralsund was with-nt an
ulterior military obi ,ft since the satety of the realm
did not permit any more troops to be sent :two
from Sweden, and it wis of the inmost importance
to shelter the principality of Rugen from any hos

to ask the Sen..t• and Livery'oi that city whether
ihey were determin d to exanse themselves to ih
dangers of a sieee, in whi-h case they should have
all "•-• at :.tarp r and proteSion which they had
right to ezpeet from the galantry of His Majeis-

mities of a siege Fee Senate and Livery humbly
returned thanks to His Majesty for his most gra-
cious declaration, and adopted the litter pact ; in

tenements were then made to withdraw the ttnops
from Stralsund, and remove all the magazines'

The whole night between the kith and 19th, and
the lieds and 20th, the whole garrison was under

army have thrown lip very strong works, and com-
menced a regular siege, which, tot the present, are
chiefly dire!ted against what are termed the Lime-
Yale Batteries. Fhe Crown Batteries will be after-
wards attacked. It is expelled that Copenhagen
most yield in a few days. To spew how tar the
Danes are behind the Engl.h in di.cpiine, &c.
the following late instances ought in be menti-
oned: the Danish gnardship, tshials moonted Sri

an afti•.n of about 30 minutes, is which the Danes
had 27 men killed or wounded; the English not
one of eitlter. A quantity of gunpowder, destined
for the Castle of Cronenberg, was sent tunk t an es-
tett of lOU Danish salditTs ; an order was given fur
350 English Light Dragoons to follow it. who not
only took the gunpowder, but made the whole of the
escort prisoners.
