IJ)NDON,
SATURDAY, MILT 16.

At one o'clock this morning, three MO: arrived
from Tonningen, pith a series of the ltsnastagi
Correstomdcone, to the loth instant. We hare only
room for the following ex:racts :

NAAIBUROPIs MAYS.

We have this mor,sent received intelligence, by
way of Copenhagen, that the King of Sweden
has not ratified the Armistice concluded between
General Von Essen and Marshal Monier ; that
Von Essen is disgraced, and that 15,000 men, new
Swedish troops. sell be embarked for Stral,und.
By a vessel they have received the news at Copen-
hagen. that Dantzie has been taken by storm,
which is certainly without foundation.

An Estrad of a letter from Vieana, dated April

Y 9 4,

•• Yesterday, arrived a R-lal Pross:an Ccurier,
from the Rauian headquarters at Bartenstein, six

have lately taken place in Poland, on account of the
extreme heaviness of the roads."
Our Court Gaze's contains the following article
from Turkey :

s• After the return of the English fleet from Con-
stantinople, it was reinforced, off Tenediss, by a nu.
merous Russian fleet, under the command of Ad-
miral Siniavin, whicl: bluclead-s the Streitht of
Constantinople. An attempt made by the Rut.
slant to take the Castle of Tetiedos, by assault,
failed of success.

4. On the 24th March, the Janissaries received as
usual three months pay, and on the 30th March the
Grand Vizier proceeded with Mahomet's holy sun
dard to the camp, which is to be formed near Adri-
anople.

•. The Turks still continue to strengthen the D ir-
danelles. As soon as the forts are completed, neutral
vessels will again be pet mitted to enter the Channel,
the sea of Marmora. and the Black Sea.
" Ile state of affairs in Moldavia and Wallachia
has not experienced any change. Gen. Michelson
has taken up a more concentrated position, and in
two sorties made by the garrison of Ismael and
Gu•rgewo, the Turks have been repulsed with con.
siderable loss."

The exportation of all sorts of provisions from
the Austrian dominions is prohibited.
A letter. dated Breslaw, May 2, says—This
morning, at three o'clock, the Wirtemburgh troops,
who form the siege of Neisse, attacked the block-
house, two mills, and the Prince's garden, which
arc all out•works of the fortress, with fixed bayonets,
carried them, and took five pieces of cannon, and
103 prisoners, among whom are three officers.

NAIABURGH, MAY 9.

Ey: aft from a Letter, dated Copenhagen, May S,
"The master of a ve.sel, which left Dantzic on the
24. th of last month, and arrived here the day before
yesterday, states, that the bombardment of Dantzic
is carried on with great vigour. A corps of 400
French troops has taken possession of Swinemunde.
" According to the most recent accounts from
Dantzic, that place was not taken on the Ist of this
month. General Kalkreuth has positively declar-
ed, that he will not surrender that fortress on any
condition whatever. But it is said, that the want
of provisions will probably accelerate its reduction.
" Letters frond Koningsberg advise, that the Di-
rectors and clerks of the Royal Prussian Bask are
returned thither from Memel."

Yesterday we received Hamburgh Papers to the
6th, and Dutch to the 12th instant. The latter contain
the Seventy-First and Seventy-Second Bulletins of
the Grand Army, dated April lgth, and 23d, re-
spectively. BONAPARTE'S Headquarters still re-
mained at the Castle of Finkenstein, and the army
had been two months quiet in its cantonments.
It is matter of surprise, that the alive Cossacks
should alluw this long repose and opportunity to
recruit its strength, and establish magazines. Some
will, no doubt, account for it, by presuming that
there is a subsisting negotiation for peace. The
tone which Bon AAAAAA has adopted towards Swe-
den, is in unison with this idea. He who used to
indulge so freely in taunt and sarcasm against that
power, now breathes nothing but kindness and conci-
liation. The only exceptions to the general tranquil-
lity of the armits, are the sieges of Colberg and
Dantsic, which are prosecuted with aftivity. The
Bulletins contain scarcely any thing else of a mili-
tary charaaer.
The Emperor of AurratA, in his Address to the
Diet of Hungary, recommended new measures for
the increase and support of the army, in further-
ance of which purpose, a conscription, on the plan
of the French, is said to be in contemplation.

We lately mentioned a report of the re-capture
of Buenos Ayres by the Brili,h forces. The intelli-
gence of yesterday upon this suT6t, is somewhat
contradiftory ; one account say,
" A Portuguese vessel arrived at Penzance, in
eleven days, from MaJei,a, landed a passenger, who
states, that His MAJESTY'S ship Sybille arrived at
Madeira on the 24th alt. the Captain of which said,
that he had spoke with Sir SA MIS Lt. HOOD, cruising
of the Canaries, by whom he was informed, that
Buenos Ayres was recaptured by our troops."
Another account states, that by a letter from
Madeira, dated the 2U :It ult. received by the
.Vi. draws and Joze, arrived at Penzance, it ap-
pears that His MAJESTY'S ship Sy&illc arrived
there on the 13th, from off St. Michael's, sailed
on the 17th, returned on the 42d, and sailed
again on the 77th. No mention is made of the cap-
ture of Buenos Ayres: but it adds, we have no news
to mention.

The eldest son of King Louts, of Holland. the
in•anded su..cessor of the Emperor Natotzom. of
France, died lately at the Hague, in his sth year.
Mr. C•LLA IN. in a late Report to Congress,
says, that in !mid, the Exports from the United
States to the British Dominions, amounted to 23
millions of dollars ; of which 19 millions was Ame-
rican produce ; and yet there are men, who call
theme Ives friends and citizens of the United States,
who are clamorous for war with England
