S::.'LNTY-SEVENTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND
ARMY.
ftIICEILNITRIM, MAY 29.
" Danteic has capitulated. That fine city is in
our pnsscuion. Eight hundred pieces of artillery,
snag +vines of every kind, more than 500,000 quin-
ta:s of grain, well-stored cellars. immense collec-
tions of clothing and spices; great resources of
every ki .c 1 for the army ; lastly, a place of the first
ore-r for strength on our left wing, as Thorn sup-
port, it centre. and Praga our right ; these are the
advent '.ges obtained during winter, and which have
signniaed the leisure hours of tie Grand Army;
this is, i.•.deed, the first fruit of the viEtory of Eylau.
The rigour of the season, the snow which so often
covered our trenches, the ice which has added fresh
difficulties, have afforded no obstacles to our opera-
tions Marshal Lefebvre has braved all ;he has
animated, with the same spirit, the Saxons, the Poles,
the troops of Baden. and has made them all conduce
to his end The difficulties which the artillery had
to conquer were ecs.siderable. One hundred pieces
of artillery, 5 or fiooo pounds weight of powder, and
an immense quantity of bullets, have been drawn
from Ste•tin. and the strong places in Silesia. It
was necessary to surmount many difficulties in re-
moving the artillery, but the Vistula afforded easy
and expeditious means. The Marines of the Guards
hale passed their boats under the lon of Graudirntz
with their accustomed skill and resolution. General
Chasseloup, General Kingener, Colonel Lacosta,
and in geueral all the Officers of the Engineers, have
served in the most distinguished manner. The Sap-
pees have shewn an uncommon degree of intrepidity.
The whole corps of Artillery, under General Lari-
boissiere, has sustained its reputation. The ted regi-
ment of Light Infantry, the Itth, and the troops of
Paris, with Generals Schromin and Puthod, have
distinguished themselves. A detailed journal of this
siege will soon be drawn up with care. It will con-
secrate a great number of ads of bravery, worthy of
being exhibited as examples, and such as must excite
enthusiasm and admiration.
. On the 11th, tl.e mine blew up a block house,
attached to the guard-house of the covered way.
On the 19th. the descent and passage of the few
were executed at seven o'clock in the evening. On
the 2lst, Marshal Lefebvre having prepared every
thing fur the aissult, they were proceeding to the
attack, when Colonel Lacosta, who had bran sent
in the morning into the place upon some busi.iess,
sign. eel that General Kallaeuth demanded to capi-
tulate on the seine conditionstat he had formerly
rr. ii•ed to the garrison of Mayeiree. This was
&get to. The ihkelsburgh would have been
stort...st with little loss, hut the body of the place
was •et entire. A large fess,, full of rutin...4 water,
presented such difficulties, that the besieged might
have htld our for fifteen days longer. In this situ-
ation it appeared proper to grant them an honour-
able capitulation.
" On the 27th, the garrison marched out, with
General Kalkrsuth at its head. This strong gun-
son, which ar first consisted of 16,003 men, was re.
duced to 9000 men, et which numbn four thousand
have Jess' ted. Among the deserters there are even
Officers. "We will not," they say, "go to Si-
beria." Many thousands of artillery horses hare
been given up to us, but they are in very bad con-
dition. They are now drawing up the inventory of
the magazines. General Kapp is named Governor
nt.Dantzic.
The Russian Lieutenant-Gennal, Kainensity,
after having been beat on the 15th, retired under
the fortifications of Weicliselrnunde. lie remained
there without venturing to undertake any thing;
and he b. s been a spectator of the surrender of the
place. When he perceived that they were reeding
batteries, to burn his ships with red-hot balls, he
embarked and retired. He has returned to Pillau.
44 The fort of Weiehselmunde still held out.
Marshal Lefebvre summoned ,ft. on the 26th, and
while they were regulating the terms of capitula-
tion. the gatrison advanced from the fort, and sur-
rendered. The Commandant, thus abandoned by
ice garrison, saved himself by sea, and thus we are
in possession of the town and port of Dantlic.—
These events are a happy presage of the campaign.
The Emperor of Russia, and the King of Prussia.
were at Heiligenbeel. They might have conjec-
tured the surrender of the place, from the cessation
of the fire. They might have heard the cannon
from that distance.
** The Emperor, to express his satisfatdion to the
besieging army, has granted a present to each sol-

The siege of Graudentz is now commencing
under the command of General Piton. General
Lasowsky commands the engineers ; and General
Danthou.: ct the artillery. Graudentz is strong
from the number of its mines.
•• The cavalry of the army is in fine order. The
divisions of light cavalry. two divisions of cuiraa.
sista, and one of dragoons, have been reviewed at
Elbing, on the 26th, by the Grand Duke of Berg.
On the same day, His Majesty arrived at Midto-
wn-den and Stal.burgh, where he reviewed Haut-
poulgs division of cuirassiers. and the division of
dragoons of General Grouchy. He has been satis-
fied with their appearance, and with the good con-
dition of their horses.
6. The Ambassador of the Porte, Seid Mohammed
Eases Valid, was presented, on the 2dth, at
two o'clock. to the Emperor, by the Prince of Bene-
vento. He delivered his credentials to His Majesty,
and tesnahsed an hour in his Cabinet. He is lodged
at the Castle. and occupies the apartments of the
Grand Duke of Berg, who is absent on account of
the review. It is confidently said, that the Em-
told him that be and the Sultan Selim would
he. foe ever after inseparably combatted as the right
hand and the left. All the good news respeasng the
eacceases at Ismail and in Wallachia have just ar-
rived. The Russians have been obliged to raise the
siege of basil sad evacssee Wallachia.

MAGUS, Just 11.

Relative to the landing of a small party of Eng-
lish, at the mouth of the Elbe, and the spirited re-
sistance made against them by the Dutch troops,
Gen. Domonceau has sent the following report from
his head-quarters :
on the 24th of May, the F.nglisli 'fretted a laming near
Duman, a mall village, &tomtit distance front Cuxhaven. In
ceder to conceal their approach, the enemy roiled their ves-
sels with a number of tithing schurts, and other small vessels,
from which we could not distinguish them. The sentinel on
the most forward point, not suspeaing the least hosaility„ no
sooner discovered the enemy, than he fired his musket, and
ran off with all speed to the village, where Lieut. I;hateleux,
I serjeant, and 9 chasieurs, all of the third battalion, were
taken pritoiwri lay the English, before they knew of their
arrival. This was at six in the morning.
" Linuteetant F.lbers, commanding the post at Dose, had
no sooner received advice of this affair, than he set nut with
i 5 chasseurs to Donee, and drove the areal out of the village.
In the interim, Cement Hoschod, commander of a battalion
of chasseurs et Cushaveu' haring received intelligence of
the enemy's proceeding, collected as many veltigoun and
carahineers as he could, sod placed them nil a dike, between
the two villages before mentioi.ent The enemy observing the
approach of our troops, seemed as if they were gettitig thine
vessels ready to resist us. Without lots of time, Captain
Buschud ordered the drums to beat a march, 4,,d fell upon the
It neigh who such spirit, that they fled in the great,at diMNdar
towards the sea, where a great number of them threw them-
selves into the water, to endeavour if possible, to reach their
sears,.Mosta sham were drewued, and much the stasUest
part of them were fortunate enough to save themselves iii
two of their venal,. The third vessel felt into our holds, and
was burnt, after cordage and cannon had heen taken out ot tier.
"The two English Irigates, and a brig, stationed upon thia
coast, in all probability wishing to be revenged for the lON of
their small craft, steered their course towards Cuxhaven, about
two in the afternoon, and commenced a heavy fife opens a
three gun battery at the entrance of the place. This leathery,
intended rather for protecting trade than sustaining or whore.
ing the fire of an enemy's squadron, had no gunners, and
scarcely, throe shots wets tired Irons it against the English.
"Captain aciachud, hearing of thane fresh hostildies, re-
paired to Cuxhaven with hi. chasseeri, with all possible speed.
The English observing the excellent diicipltne of our troops,
dared to venture nothing further, but confined themselves to a
hippie cannoonle, without any other effett than efghtly
wounding two chaiseuts, daft sging about 20 houses, and one
of 1601111 M on the battery.
" At seven o'clock tniu enemy's ships returned to their fin
con station, "them, iii the womb,' of the 2:ith, there were
• frigate' a brig, and a galley at anchor.
The istrepaltty ot our troops on this occasion; is an in•
debatable proof of what the English may expert, should they
erotism any other end' 'taking ot this kind; we shall always
be ready, as on the present occasion, to receive them math
fixed baymiets.
" As a proof of His Majesty's satisfaction with the conduct
of Captain W,-cloud, it hes ',e'en his pleasure, ou fib
to appoint hue Lieutenant-Colonel.*

DAIITZIC. MAY 29.

A singular affair has occurred at SCzekochsn, in
Pruutan Poland. Some weeks since. the Govert-
'neat there wished to base a Polish Eagle printed,

Town-house, with great formality. However, as
no painter rould be found there, one was seut for
from a neighbouring village, in Austrian Poland ;
but as he could not be provided with colours. suffi-
cient for his purpose, he took the Eagle home with
him, which coming to the ears of the Au:trial,
Commandant, both the Eagle and the Painter were
seized. and sent to the Tribunal at Cracow. A let-
ter was consequently written to the Austrian Com-
mandant, with some explanations, and requesting
him to think of the wife and children of the poor
artist, to which he returned the following answer :
" 1 lure the honour to answer your letter. and inform you,
that the House of Auiria can Geyer surer a subject or theirs
to go unpuithhed, who has been accessary in promothig any
measure: calculated to exterminbte fidelity it, the l'w.oms 01

the Polish Eagle shall be replanted by a general peace, then
every brave Pole who would celebrate sio:h an event may ern-
ploy at many Austrian painters as he may choose. At present,

business. He assured, the wife and children of this mahout
nate man are nut indifferent to me.
" I have the honour to be, Ac. Ae.

city was made to day. They consist of 300,000

“ The Russians retreated from Guirdzwo to Bu-
charest on the 22d of April. At this mornens they
are on their retreat to Moldavia, from Bucharest and
Wallachia. 'lbis retreat was rendered indispensably
neces►ary by their weakness, and the successes of the
Turks. At Ismail, a deserter having announced so
Pelwan Ag• that the Russians were busy in pre-
paring for their departure, he procured a reinforce
ment from the advanced guard of the Grand Vi-
zier's army, which he united to his own, and, bas-
ing sworn the troops on the Alcoran to cosigner or
perish, be marched with three columns, consisting
of 5000 men each. and attacked the Russians as

and a part of their baggage and artillery. 'Two
