111111D•QU1ItT1113, STRALSUND, JULY 31.

Tuesday the 213th instant, a Deputation, consist•
ing of the Magistrates And Liverymen of this city
was admitted to His Majesty's presence, and pt esent-
e I an humble Address, the prayer of which was,
41 That His Majesty would be graciously pleased
to avert the dangers of war from the walls of Stral-
sund, and restore to Poinetania the blesLings of
Peace."

His Majesty answered, that as the Magistrates and
Cit:z:ns were undoubtedly convinced of his grad-
Qui seniments towards them, he, on the other,
depended implicitly on their fidelity and attach-
ment to his person and Government ; that His
Majesty would do every thing in his power to
avert from his faithful subjeas the perils of war,
and had fur that purpose, en the 14th instant,
proposed an armistice to the Commanding French
General ; in answer to which the Fiends Com-
mander had demanded that Stralsund should be
garrisoned by the enemy's troops, a rErnand
which Hi* Majesty could not agree to, either on his
own account, nor on that of his loyal Pomeranian
&ahjeas ; that while His Majesty assured there
of his gracious proteltion, he must on the other
hand request that they performed their duty as
f.ittiful subjeas, with tranquility and resignation.
The line of baste ship Gustacus la. arrived on

of the royal regiments of A Jorlaus, Rierneborg, and

Chief of Brigade. By His Majesty'. rno.,t gracious
command, our heavy ordnance began yesterday,
at two o'clock in the afternoon, to play upon the
enemy's works from the entrenchments, from a di-
vision of gun-boats, and Darholm's battery on the
beach. The King was pleased to express his satis-
faftion with the manner in which the cannonade
was conduCted, and ordered that, during the night,
scattered shots should be fired from the entrench-
ments and the division of gun-boats, in order to
prevent the enemy from repairing the damage done
during the day.— (Gatew.durgi Gaselo, Aag. II.)

LONDON,
TUESDAY, AUGUST 18.

Dispatches were received, yesterday, at the Ad-
miralty, from Admiral GAMSIIIt, clatf.ti the 9th
instant. The whole of the fleet under his coni-
mand, and the transports, had joined. A very few
days will therefore bring us decisive inteil:r.nre.
The Admiral has ,irs pendants under his command,
with near 30,000 troops.

On the Ist of August the Rochfort squadron put
to sea, but were soon for,•ed to take shelter under
the batteries of the Isle D'Ais, by Sir RICHARD
STRACUAN.

The Hell Alvrtiser published in a Second Edition,
on Saturday, the following intelligence from the
Expeditions :

After our parser went to !weir, the Wilberfn.ce, no, wood,
arrived here, which vessel left the Sound on Wedneolay se'tl.
night. Fr.am h..r we leant, that our Sunday the inst. A
miral Gambier's Nest, consiaing of 14 sail of the ltn... 3:ul
five or. s'ix (noes, came in sight of the 531.1114, and bron4li..to
off the Cult; next inorittig they arrived in Elsinore Roads,
and drew up in line of battle, in which positron they were
lelt when the Witherforce ca a' away. No hostile up,
nutimle whatever had taken place, new was there any like:i-
bmd of it, Out the first apprtranz.: of the Hart in the
Cattegat, instructions were airphe 1 for to the Court of Co.
penhagen, as to the manner which the Commander
of the Dutch furtre.s was to act ; and in return he was ordered
nut to attempt nil:sting their passing the Sound. The Prince
of Wales, Admiral Gambier's flag-ship, saluted the battery
as she passed, which was returned by the Danes. The pop--
lace seemed in be very favourably di,yo.e.l intuit& sue peopl.
The magnitude of the fevers thus sent into the tinkle, and the
anyedirien with which it hal been prepared, created much
asmnishroent.

Admiral Essington, with eight sail of the line and several
fr gates, stoop, of war, transports, scc. was bung in the Belt
The Crown Prince of Deem i.k was with the army in Ito!.
stein ; and the Danes were wholly unpreparad to t,lfer any
re.istance. It was generally supposed that our troops would
take possession of the Wand of Zesl.intl 1 but is,. •t:ps towaols
such a measure hal been adopted, when the Wilbatio,ce came
Away.

The Wilberfarce passed a fleet of 70 sail of large transports
off the /inhale, (rent the Channel, full of troqps; also about
30 tail of transport; off the Lessae, under protection a 74 guu
ship, the latter ere supposed to be that part of the Gowan
Legion that embarked at this place; likewise passed some
other ships of the Lae, frigates, and transports, in the Ca•-
ttpt and Sleeve.

A Gottsnburgh Mad arrived yesterday, with
letters and papers from that city to the 12th instant.
The account of the proposition for an Armistice,
by the King of Swenan, and of its rejedion by the
French, who demanded the surrender of Stralsund,
as the price of their compliance, is officially an-
nounced in a Bulletin published at that place on the
31st last. This official communication was drawn
from the King of Swznas by a deputation of the
Magistrates and principal inhabitants, reque.aing
him to restose peace to Pomerania, or in oeitir
words, to throw himself at the feet of BONApARTi:.
It is pretty obvious from this circumstance, tliat
people of Stralsund are not animated with the spirit
that glows in the breast of their gallant Sovereign,
and that they are as pusillanimous as their Prussian
neighbours. who surrendered fortresses deemed
impregnable, upon the mete scaimons of the
enemy. The people of Stralsund are perhaps
less excusable than those of Magdeburg, and of
Spandau. They have the vresence of a
army, and a British fleet, to nford courage ar.d
assistance. and in the last extremity to in,nie a
safe retreat. Jaaostr BONAPARTE will bY trou.ii• d
King of Westphalia at Paris ca, the 15th instant.
