BREMEN, NOV. t's.

The day before yesterday, about one in the After-
noon, the Prussian regiment of infantry of Prince
Ferdinand, entered this city, where it is ordered to
remain for some time, as it is intended for the pro-
talinn of the magazines of corn, provided for the
Prussian army expeiled on the Weser. It is quar-
tered partly in the town, and partly in the suburbs.
In the requisition made to the Senate on this sub-
je6t, and which was refused both by the Senate
And the town's-people; it is said that the temporary
stay of this regiment belonging to a neutral power,
I ran, in no wise, be contrary to the neutrality of this
Imperial city, nor in the least disturb its constitu-
tka I commcrce. The gates of this city continue,
as before, under the guard of the Bremen military.
Immediately after the entrance of the Above-men-
tioned regiment, the Senate received a requisition
from Lieutenant-General Don, to permit the pass-
age of an English corps of ehasseurs of 400 men.
The town's people were convoked, and the request
r.je.fted, as incompatible with the neutrality of the
city. The said corp:, however, yesterday morning,
marched through, having opened, by force, the
closed harriers. It was accompanied by the Prus-
sian troops through the city, over the bridge on the
Weser, to the gate leading to Oldenburgh.

to join the Allies. To the latter part of this ac-
count we attach ample credit—perhaps the former
will he fuat,l to !elate only to the battle at Krems.
The Orphtar frigate, which arrived on Monday
afternoon at Yarmouth, brought an account of the
defeat of the French, with the loss of 1000 men.—
This also, in all probability, relates to the battle at
Krems. She also reports, that M ASSt.II has re-
ceived a signal defeat from the Archduke Claw %LES.
