FROM THE FRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS.

WARSAW, MAY 30
The Ceesrant of this day contains a report from
Gen. Gielgud. commanding the 9d Polish Legion,
dated head-quarters, at Wunnenberg, under the
walls of Dantzic, May 20. The Russians at Weich-
selmunde. (says the report), having made a sortie,
tt drat a junition with the garrison. this attack was
as rations as it was unexpefted. A corps of 3000
fell upon the first battalion of the regiment,

fee ; the latter was welinded, the former killed.
1 his b4ttalimi, scarcely 550 in number, maintained
the confliCt an hour and A half, sad at length com-
pelled the enemy to retire.
The Russian detachment which attacked the
French, shared the same fate. The enemy loft
2000 men at least, all ki ird, as neither the Poles
nor the French gave any quarter.
According to other accounts. among the Russians
ditembarkei at Weich.elmunde, there were three
Prussian battalions, armed and cloathed madly like
Russians. Our of these battalions was nearly anni-
hilated, the French aanally taking them for Rut-
,ians ; and it is well knnwnthat they fight with
more bitterness against the Russians than against
the Prussians.

A circular has been sent into Austrian Poland, to
prohibit any of the inhabitants from entering into
the service of the Belligerent Powers- Such per-
sons as have emigrated for this purpose. must re-
turn in the course of three weeks, or abide the con-
sequences.

AM BURGH, JUN t 13

Letters from West Prussia assure us. that even on
the day that Dantzie surrendered, the movements of
the French army seemed to indicate they would very
soon begin to aft upon the offensive, and that neither
Gee:dents nor Colberg would undergo a regular
siege. The Russians seemed determined to defend
themselves behind the Pregel : at leas' though
somewhat late, they had begun to *Tea batteries and
redoubts on the right bank, and to lay some bridge-
heads over the river.

From St. Petersburgh. we learn. that General
Michelson, weary of waiting for reinforcements, was
determined to resin. It is th•wht the Duke De
Welllien will succeed him. This General has sub-
mitted a representation to His Majesty. in which he
states the necessity of colletting the Russian troops
in tE.a Crimea, if he wishes to preserve the impnrtant
Schier island. In cther respedits. the Duke wishes
to make the war swiftly defensive in that quarter,
till reinforcements ,arrive.

WARSAW, JUNE 2.
The Emperor of the French, willing to afford the
Polish Government a fresh proof of his particular
consideration, has received M. liatowski. the
devast Nuncio of Livonia, as their accredit.-d. Agent
near his person. His 111.j.!..ty has ads:, nominated
M. Vincent to reside as his Commissioner with the
Provisional Government of Poland.

Count St Vincent. The Austrian Envoy, has set
out again for the Imperial head-quarten. Austria
seems constantly disposed to offer her good offices
fur the re-establishment of peace. A fresh proof of
this appears in the circular Note lately distributed
by the Government of Austrian Poland. which is
calculated to maintain a rigid neutrality.

IMAM, JUNE G.

Letters from Naples, dated May 20th. announce

at the head of which were some English agents and

such prompt and prudent measures. that tranquillity
had not been for a single moment interrupted.

mourning commences this day, and is to continue

" On the 22.1 inst. at three in the morning, the
enemy made three sorties; the first with 160 in-
fantry, commanded by a Captain ; the second with
600 infantry and 240 cavalry ; and the third
with 400 cavalry, and some chasseurs. The
objefit of the first was merely to make a diver-
sion i favour of the other two, but the Wurtemburg
tronps r-pulsed them all three. The first was de-
feated by Captain Lagrange, of the Regiment of
the Prince Rural; a Lieutenant and fifteen Pew
sian soldiers were. killed, and five made prisoners.
The 'mond sortie, commanded by Col Kalkreuth,
was received with vallur, and driven back by the ,
battalion or serjeant-Major Bouuelle ; the enemy's
cavalry WAS met with the bayonet; 50 killed,
among which are three officers remaining upon the
field of battle, two officers, three serjeants, and
twenty privates were wounded.
The third sortie was repulsed by the cavalry, and
some chasseurs, of the King's regiment, and that of
Neubronn, between 40 and 50 Prussians were
killed, and about 40 wounded.—(Pros, La eti4es

Letters from Copenhagen, state, that the Em-
peror of Russia and King of Prussia, had retired to
Falk, which circumstance was considered as indi-

cative of an approaching battle.—(hid.)
A letter from Koningsburgh of the 20th May,
describes the melancholy impression which the news
of the redudion of Dantzic had produced on the
spirits of the people. The Royal Bank, and various
eiTetts which had been brought from Memel to
Kouingsburgh, have been sent back to Memel."—

VlLetle, JUNK G.
The Court Gazette of this day contains the follow-
ing article from Turkey :
" The Turkish fl..ct, under the orders of the
Captain Pacha, remained at anchor as late as the
I lth of May, between the inner and outer castles of
the Dardanelles. The Grand Admiral, Seid Aly,
has demanded reinforcements in the strongf•st
terms, in order to be able to cope with the Russian
fleet, commanded by Vice-Admiral Siniavin, far
superior in force ; in consequence wherelf, he has
been joined by two sail of the line and three cor-
vettes: upon the whole, every nerve has been
strained to fit out the Turkish fleet ; but the chi, f
obstacle consisted in the want of able seamen, which
is the more severely felt, es the position of the Rus-
sian fleet prevents a supply from the inhabitants of
the islands in the Archipelago, and of the lonian
and ./Egean coast. In addition to Tenedos, the
Russians have taken the islands of Lemnos and
Idra.

BANKS O► TIM MAIN, JUNE 6.

By a circular letter, of the 25th May, the Lin-
dammAn of Switzerland has called upon all the
cantons to introduce the stfielest police with regard
to the fabrication, sale, and purchase of arms. This
letter has been occasioned by a request of the French
Ambassador, stating, that the enemies of France
have given orders to purchase 400,000 stand of
arms in the different European states.
The Servian army is divided into four corps. The
first, under the orders of the General in Chief,
George Czerni Petrowitch, alts in the environs of

SCWONEN, JUNE 7.
According to accounts from Stralsund. of the 5d
inst. His Swedish Majesty has declared the Port of
Dantaic to be in a state of blockade.

MUM, OV THt SLIM ]UN[ 15.

We are assured, that in the beginning of this
month, His Majesty the King of Sweden had an in-
terview with Marshal Beane, the result of which
was not favourable to the negotiations for Peace.
The last intelligence from the Theatre of war,
affords room to believe, that the negotiations enter-
ed into for peace have not led to any satisfactory
result ; on the contrary, it appears certain, that the
most serious dispositions are made to open the
campaign ; but, at the same time, there is reason to
suppose that nothing important will be under-
taken before the arrival of the English expedition.—
