6ORLIT7, MAY 30.—The Prussian army here received consi-
derable reinforcements on the 15th; and we expect still more nu-
merous reinforcements from Silesia. There are 10,000 Bavarians
with the enemy.
WEIS%ENBERG, MAY 18.—Count Stadion arrived a few days
ago, and had audiences of their Imperial Russian and Royal Prus-
sian Majesties, and conferences are continually held between him and
the Ministers at head-quarters.
Silt* esuNn, MAY 21—His Royal Highness the Crown Prince
landed on the 17th instant at Monasgut near Perth, and passed the
slight at the castle of Putbus. The next day he arrived here, and
was met by the Generals, mid Members of the Government, on the
Fahrbrueke, whence he proceeded, under the thunder of cannon,
the ringing of bells, and amid the joyful acclamations of the popu-
lace, to the Palace of Government. He was accompanied by the
Field-Marshal Baron Von Stedingk, and the Court-Chancellor Wet-
terste,it. The Prince immediately after his arrival, inspected the
new fortifications.
On the Isth, in the evening, also arrived here, the Duke of Cum•
bcrland, and remained till late in the evening of the 20th, when he
set out for Neustrelitz.
On the loth, in the morning, three battalions marched from
hence, fur the :Nlecklenburg territory : and other troops arrived
from the country, and from Rugen.
MAY 24.—The whole number of Swedish troops in Pomerania,
Mecklenburg, and OH the Elbe, amounts now to .44,000.
The Swedish artillery is also now landed, and in the best order
it consists of from 75 to 80 pieces. The Swedish artillery, as is
well known, still preserves its ancient well-fonrided reputation;
acrd every one must confess that few European armies have so many
scientific and well-formed officers as the Swedish.

The army is advancing at all points towards the Elbe. The
head-quarters of the Crown Prince are expected to be on the 30th
at Wittenberg, to which place the whole of the Swedish troops arc
ad vancing.
OCCUPATION OF HAMBURGH BY THE FRENCH.

txtract of a Letter from Heligoland, dated May 31. " I left
Hamburg last night at nine o'clock, two hours after the French had
taken possession of the town. On Saturday last there was a very
severe engagement at Ochsenwarder ; the Hanseatic Legion, Prus-
sians, and English Riflemen, made a strong resistance ; but owing
to a blunder of Captain Muller, who took the French, who were
commanded in English, to be English, 1,500 men took possession of
Ochsenwarder. The Swedes never attempted to assist win this awkol
crisis. Early yesterday morning, General Tettt tiborn informed the
Senate, that he had no longer the proper means of defence, and It ft
it entirely with the Senate what measure they dcemed proper to
adopt ; and he left Hamburgh, with his Cossacks, at three a. tn.
Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, the Danes, 5.000 strong, and with a
park of artillery, entered Hamburgh, with the French General
liruvere at their head, who took possession of the town in the name
of the Ruler of France ; and at_seven p. m. 15:10 French, chiefly
Gene-d'armes and Donaniers, entered Hamburgh. When I left that
city no proclamation had yet been issued by the French, nor any
acts of violence committed. - •

IMPERIAL. PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

MONDAY, M otY Sl•

The Duke of No PrOr,g rose, pursuant to notice, to brine in a Bill to
do array the penalties to which Irish Roman Catholics, hording civil or
military offices, ale liable to in England, by the statute of the 25th of
Charles 11. and moved that the Bill be read a first time, with a view of
bringing the subject under consioeration.—The pill was read u,first
time.

The Doke of BEDFORD rose to move the second reading of the Bill
• for the ImproveinemtofSinitlifield Market. 1k said it was a measure of
relief, which was called for by a very large portion of the Metropolis ;
and it was well known that the nuisance could not be removed without
the interference of Parliament. At the timethis market was erected, it
no doubt was large enough to supply the suetropolis, without the lawn-

venience to its inhabitants; but in the growth of this great city it would
be found to be narrow and confined for its now far more extended pur-
poses. The object of the present Bill, therefore, was to enlarge the
Market, and he was convinced, it' their Lordships would allow it to go
into a Committee, that they must see the extreme necessity and utility
of such a measure.—His Grace then said, that he held in his hand docu-
inents which would prove what he asserted to be true ; but he would
nit occupy their Lordship? time with them, except to state, that in tits
last five yt ars, compared with the years 1790 to 1794, these had been
an increase of no less than 30,000 head of cattle, and 0f200,000 sheep
brought to Smithfield Market yearly. The principal object of the pre•
sent Bill was to increase the area of the Sheep Market. He would not
undertake to say that it would be a complete cure; but he was sure that
it would decrease the evil materially. 4
Lord EctAN aortouo it opposed the Bill, and thought the ttsarl•et
ought to be removed to the suburbs of the metropolis. He resifted it
likewise, because he Considered that it would be an extension of the
nuisance merely ; and would deteriorate the ancient and useful founds.
tion of the Charter-house.
The Lord CHANCELLOR and Earl Livearool, opposed the .Bill on
sii•oilar grounds.
The Earl of LAUDERDALIII and Marquis of LANSDOWNE suppOrted
the Bill. •
. .
The Duke of BEDroRD replied ; and said be could strew by evidence
of both buye►s and sellers that no place could be found so convenient
for all parties as the present : and also that this measure would remedy
the evil.—Thu; House then divided--Fur the Bill, 16;
,against it. 25.
Majori►y, 9.—The Bill was thus rejected.

• TUESD.tY, JUNE 1.
LORD Mtn ott presentest a petition from John Cartwright, Esq. eon•
taming a statement of numerous grievanties which he suffered in the
Northern Counties towards the end of last year, from the magiste-
rial and military authorities. He set forth the circumstance of his
having been arrested at Huddersfield on suspicion of being a Luddite,
and' his imprisonment. He was induced from that treatment to
draw a conclusion that the poor had no remedy for such atiset!, and
he therefore prayed that their Lordships would consider the pro-
priety of making a law to protect die poor qgainst oppression similar
to that he had suffered.
Earl FITSWILLIAM opposed the petition as one of an ettraordi•
nary description iiot fit to be received.
Lord St nmotalt likewise opposed it'; and on the lineation being
put, the petition was rejected.
