COPLNNAGEN. OCT. 3.
Three Russian ships of the line, and five frigates,
coming from Archangel, passed the Sound on
Tuesday and Wednesday last. They received on
board the usual Pets to conchal them to Eleineur ;
but in consequence of their having taken up the
buoys which marked the rocks, in the water of Co-
penhagen, one of the ships of the line, of 74 guns,
and 44.)0 men, ran a-ground on the coast of Salt-
bolm. This vessel, for weft' hours, endeavoured,
by guns of distress, to induce the English Admiral
to afford her assistance, but Le refused the compli-
ment. A beat sae then sent on shore, but the Danes
had not a single boat at their disposal. The ship
made a great deal of water, and all her guns was
thrown over-board, but it is not known whether ate

as impossible.

BAMIIIIIG, OCT. 6.
The Szzon contingent lately eantoned in the
neighbourhood of Graudentz, has suffered greatly
by a dysentery and nervous fever. It had lately
nearly 1100 sick, and had lon many officers. 'flue
contingent is now on its route to Warsaw. _ _

Accounts from that part of the country give the
most distressing details of the want of provisions ;
and the great number of Prussian and Polish ma-
rd.udets who infest the forest of Colin, render the
neighbourhood very insecure. The Prussian troupe
desert in bodies from the fottreu of GrauJents, and
there are ofteu sanguinary con Ailis between them
and the Prussiao advanced guard.
Prussia, amongst others, discharges from her ser-
•ice all the Polish soldiers. They have been ob.
liged to establish hospitals in Saxony for the sick
and wounded from the Grand Army, particularly
st Augustenburg, Nauraburg, Weiesenfele, Chem-
nits, Zwickau, and ureyberg. The hospitals esta-
blished last winter at Dresden and Leipzig, are still
fall of sick.

the line, with sine frigates and sloops, with 35 sail
of transports, have cast anchor at a small distance
from this city.
Yesterday and to-day were busily employed in
transporting the troops that were at Meant in Terra
Firma, and in making the necessary dispositions for
their mute through the Venetian country to the Ty-
rol. The English fleet which blockaded this purr,
withdrew on the approach of the llussieoi.
