MALIIOE, APRIL 2G.
His Majesty received the day before yesterday the
following report from Baron Essen, Governor-Ge-
neral of Pomerania :

On ihel6tb,in the morning. General Baroa
Annieldt reported to me, that early in the morning
his advanced posts here attacked by the enemy with
a superior force, and that he supposed the enemy
were reconnoitring our position. A further report
stated, that a strong corps advanced against the
centre of his left wing ; and that, Lotwithstanding
the vigorous resistance made by his troops, he was
obliged to fall back; the General pro-eeded imme-
diaoly to Great Kosenow, whrr: ;hc roads from
Yokermunde and Ferdinandshoff meet. In the
mean time no report reached me from Col. Cardell,
nor was the pass of Sarowmuhls occupied by him.
That part of the column, which was under the orders
of Brigadier Vegsack, and after he had be- n wound-
ed, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Posse,
continued to fall back toward+ Anelam and Ziethen,
in Swedish Pomerania, where it halted.

f
~ 1 had, in the mean while, tablisbed my eatt-
quarters at Kantaien, where I received the ore
reports from Gen. Armfeldt. Flom Anclam sent
my aid-de camp, Major Basiewitc, to Adjdtant-
General Baron Tawast, who commanded the right
column, with orders to call in his advanced posts ;
he left Demmin, and took a position behind the river
Scene; the troops posted at Friebsee and Damgar-
ten were also ordered to retreat.

" A further report, from General Baron Arm-
fetch, acquainted me, that he had been necessitated
to order the infantry, under his orders, to retreat to
Cantzieu, while he remained at Zeither on the 17th
in the morning, with two pieces of cannon. I,
thereupon, ordered Colonel Baron Stael Von Hols-
tein to take the command of the above troops, and
soon after was informed, by General Baron Arm-
fetch, that be was wounded, and proceeded to Stral-
sund. The battalion of Skaraborg and Engulbrecht,
were ordered to retreat Irom Ziether end Stolpe,
and the right column towards Giram.
" Between 11 and 12 o'cl•ck in the morning of
the 17th, the battalions belonging to the left co-
lumn, moved from Rantzien, part of th,:ni occupied
the villages in the vicinity of Greifswald, and the
rest were quartered in that city.
" On the 17th in the morning, I sent my Aid•dr-
Camp, Baron Krassaw, to Anclam, to propose an
armistice for 24 hours, in order to gain time to
remove the sick and woun led. The same day,
Colonel Gonvi. first Aid-de-Camp to General Dior-
tier, arrived at Greifswald in the afternoon with the
General's answer.

On the 18th, another Officer arrived from Ge-
neral ?bloater, who proposed a meeting with me, at
Schlatkow, half a mile from Anslam, where I ac-
cordingly arrived at four o'clock in the afternoon.
The right column was ordered the same day to
move from Grim. and occupy the villages in the
neighbourhood of Stralsund ; at the meeting in
Schick/ow an asinistice was agreed upon, the terms
of which I humbly annex to this report.
On the 19th, I left Greifswald, and established
my head quarters in this city.

only one of which we were not already apptiwd.-
The armistice is not to be btokea without ten dal

It will be seen by an advertisement in this paptr,
that Mr. Sussman. yielding to the solicitations 4
his friends, has resolved to stand for Westminster,
the Eleetion for which commences this day. We
congratulate the Eleollors upon the opportunity,
which they now have, of once more p-Ksessing a
Representative worthy of one of the first cities a
the world. We trust that they will avail them
selves of this opportunity, as becomes mes,

ster, that are not possessed by fifty Captains nee
laid up at Wapping, who would consider it a
mockery to propose to them a canvas for
Westminster? or does this young sailor think
that the wicked clamour of 't No Popery,"
that clamour, which in the year 170 spread flames
through London, will compensate in him ter the
want of every qualification? He has echoed that
cry, but it will prove a deceitful sound io
Westminster, as it has done in Norwich. as
Lordship may do the State some service, by
going to his ship, and firing the enemy's fleet. Tte
good sense of she Eleetors net Westminster will n t
thank him fur throwing a tire-brand into the heart
of their peaceful city.

The wicked cry of " No Popery I" was 'tad
at the late eledion for the city of Norwich, as a
watch-word agaiast Mr. Wit. Sums, but the good
sense of the people of that ancient and loyal en,
was proof against it. Unfuttunately, the ,oadnact
friends of Church and State have beet. more suc-
cessful at fampool. An express, we un lerstand,
was received in town yesterday, from that place,
stating, that the house of the liberal, the enlighten-
ed, and respedable Mr. Roscoe, has been barns/
to the ground by the mob.

We are concerned to announce the death of
Alderman Harm tv, one of the Candidates for tio•
city of London. This event took place at sit
o'ciccl: yesterday evening. He had Limn taken in
only the day before. His disorder, w•e believe, v.is
the result of ercessive fatigue and exertions in Lit
canvass.

Two of the leading. Members of the present Ad-
ministration, viz. the CifAscat. ne of the gaols-
stoas. and the Saila ',TANI, of ST AT for Foreign
Affairs, are returned for Surou2N.

which occasion he represented to them the nireelyitT
of applying all their energies to invease the ew
