FIiQM THE DUTCH PAPERS

. .
HactiE, Aintir, Mall 4 frdm the Ger
man Empire have brought letter's down to the 12th
instant, and the Vienna Gazette of the 4th instant,
which contain; the folla4ina farther intelligence
frorii Turkey
The English Fleet, which had dire&ed its
course tOr the Sea of :Martnora, has net made its
're-appearance off Constantinople, as Was appre-
hend;ed. It re-passed the Dardanelles on the sth
• Of -March without any fresh aat of hostility, and
has resumed its station off Tenedos. The reasons
of this important event are not sufficiently un-
derstood. •
" The intelligence of the appearance in the
Archipelago of a Russiki Squadron, commanded
by Vice-Admiral SINIAVIN, is fully confirmed.
" A very considerable body of Turkist
which had advanced from Braila to Rittinik and
Basco, has been defeated by the van of the Russian
Army; and compelled to re-cross the Danube;
consequence of which General MICHELSON has sent
forward a part of his Army, under the command of
the Generals MILLARADOWICHE TsEPIsCH, and.
UHLANIUS, from' the environs of Buchse-est .to Ka-
pulstilan and Kalagren." •
The important occurrence of the retreat of the
English, which was stated in articles froth Berlin
and Munich, is farther confirmed. by the following
account from Constantinople
We have,at last escaped the terrible danger
with'which we wele threatened; for, on the -utt.
expeeted appearance of the English Fleet off this
capital, which was entirely defenceless, it depended
on the Enemy's AdMirals alone to enter our port; to•
• bombard Constantinople, and to reduce it to ashes;
The Porte was saved, from this pressing danger by
the aaivitv and the skilful .measures of General SE-
BASTIAN' : by his advice the English were kept in
negotiation, whilst the General was employed in,
making the most vigorous preparations, and eleo-
&Hying, as it were, the Grand Signior, his Mini-
sters, and the Inhabitants, with his manly and elo-
quent language ; so that nothing else was ultimately
thought of than to make a gallant resistance. For-
tunately
.several Eneineers and French Officers ar-
rived •on the same day that. the English Fleet ap-
peared : with their assistance, General, SEBASTIANI
caused 600 pieces t f heavy cannon to be mounted
in the most convenient places for defence, and grates
to be placed to fire with red-hot shot, in Case the
English should attempt to approach. At the same
time the French General had sent several of his Of-
, ficers to the Lower Dardanelles, to place them 'in
such a state of defence as to be able to annihilate
•the English Fleet if it should pass the Straits. The
Enemy's Admirals got scent of this ; and on the Ist
of March they quitted, with the whole Fleet, the
Station off Constantinople, and re-passed the Dar-
, danelles on the 3d to return to the Archipelago. In
less than twenty days the Upper, as well as the
Lower Ddrdanelles, and Constantinople itself, IA 11l
be rendered so strong, that any hostile Fleet which
would dare to attempt any fresh operations will
as-
suredly meet with entire destruction."
• They write \from Vienna, the 4th instant, that
the. Emperor had set off from Buda on the pre-
ceding day„ at eight in the morning. After open
ing the Hung4rian Diet:, the Emperor will pt'oceed
• to Semlin and to Galicia, to survey the Austrian
Cordon on the frontiers. The Archduke CHARLES
will, go on the. same journey on the-6th Gr
.7th
of April.
PARIS, APRIL I).—The Levy of the Conscripts
of 1808' haS already been published .in the Depart-
ments adjoining to Paris. In those of the Seine
and Oise the young men are obliged to get their
-names registered in the list of Conscripts before
the 25th of this month. Thus the Levy will be
efi-eeled nearly at the,same time throughout the
Emt3iTe.
One hundred and six Hessians, who had a share
• in the disturbances of that country, have been sent
to Besancon.
APRIL I2.—A 'person of the name of FOUCAUD
• and some other persons in the Department of the
Rhone, endeavoured to facilitate the escape of a
conscript they were delivered.up to the Tribunals,
and condemned to pay a fine of 5000 francs, and to
he imprisoned a twelvemonth: The Tribunal of
Montayse imposed a fine of 300 'francs, and con
'deained to a year's imprisonment, CoN±E the
younger, a labouring husbandman, at Mezieres, con-
vieted of having applied an herb of corrosive
.quality Lo the leg of ANTOINE BRUNET, a conscript
of the year 1807, for the purpose of disabling him:
from military service for a time.
. The Charlemagne, and another Ship of the2Line,
lately built at Antiverp, were launched on the .Bth
instant in the Scheldt, with great success, amidst,
an immense concourse of people, not only from this
city, butfrom different countries, whom that spec-
tacle, previously announced, attraeled to Antwerp..:
ELBING, APRIL is reported, that the Em-
peror will soon arrive here. We expect hint eery
moment. There are many cavalry quartered in the
environs of this city, and all our leather-cutters
are employed in working for them.
,The number
of horses which the Vreoch have obtained from the
Isle of Nog;:t (certainly one of the, best districts of
Prossia,) is estimated at 4000.. Large trains of ar-
tillery are arrived before Dantzic front Warsaw by
the Vistula.

KONIGSBURGH, MARCH 25.—0 f the different
rencontres het‘i,een the Cossacks under the com,
wand of the •Hettinan, Lieutenant General PLATOW,
and the Enemy, the affair of the 12th instant, in the
environs of Altkirch,-near Guttstadt, deserves par-
ticular:notice; as it 'furnishes a very interesting spe-
clinen'of the originality of that Commander, as well
as the simple, uncorrupted, and nervous character of
the people under his orders.

. _
On tbe morning of the 12th instant, the Enemy
had, with their whole line of advanced posts, re-
treated from Zechern, Peterswalde, Marcon, and
Worniditt : however, the Cossacks, led on by the
nettman, were continually following them close,
but 'cautiously. They marched through Peterfi-
wahle, and passed, by GronaU, to the village of
Altkirch, where they overtook the Enemy, who
fired from the village with small arms ; and several
balls passed so close to the Hetiman, that his life
was in great danger. Nevertheless, his corps con-
tinued to advance ; he dismounted, and ordered a
vine' of his Cossacks to dismount and fire on foot,

*liiA he direled in perscti, under a Shottrer of
musket hails, hiS Adjutants being about
nlanitA•re, though probably qiiite new to (he Co
sacks; was performed by theni with the greatest
Skill, whilst the other, regirnents', not dismounted,
stopped stoppedwith the greatest cOolnesi; waiting Anther
orderS. In the mean while, the Eneiny advanced
from the wood between Peteri‘italile aiid Altkirch
but 'no sooner did they appear; than the Hettruan
dispatehed one of his Adjutants to the nearest regi-
Mem of Cossacks; with an billet• to commence the
Attack. Here a'
scene ensued, which, in this situa7
tidti, could not fail most powerfully to raise- the en-
thnSiasm• of every per Son. The COssacks bleised
theMselves with fi Iblid voice, Saying-, " P'fospOdi po
milli'!" (God have mercy upon me,) and trade the
sigii of the CroSs upon their own breasts; according
to the custom of the Greek Church. The Cloie of
this ShOrt, but very soleMn and religious Ceremony,
was the Signal fdr the attack. In a mOttient the re-.
girnent set.orf full speed, expanding like A' swarm of
bees, exclaiming Hurrah ! and tOok ap dire6tly the
whole.tfuoo of Frenchiun Oppdsed to then]; each
Cossack seizing his tudn by the collar: It Was a
pity that 'the Enemy were not sufficiently nurnetbus;
as-.several Cosacks returned slow.,_ And with an
empty hand. _

After this successful trianceuvre, the enemy advane
ed from the wood with the,whole of their force, and
With some cannon. But, as• their intention was
not to light a battle, but merely to watch the move-
ments of the enemy, the Hetunan ordered his men
to desist, took up a position between Grouau and
Altkirch, and waited till.the ravening. • He fixed his
head-quarters at Gronau, distributed the other Pulki
in the adjacent villages, and ieleeted a party. of 3o
men,whom lie charged to alarm the-enemy at Alt
kirch the whole night. This was performed with
such elfeel, that the enemy were obliged; during
the night, to send for several coniderabe reitdorce-
' ments from Guttstadt. But in spite of them, and
nOtwithstanding the enemy occupied the wcod
tween Altkirch and Peterswalde, the brave 14,-t tmari
remained ih the midst of his Cossacks, whose unsha
ken fidelity he could safely trust. The great esteeni
in which he is held is not the result of qranny or
despotism ; but it is the highest degree of hive and
respect for his person, arising from a series of gene-
rous actions and true magnanimity. Every Cossack
is ready to sacrifice his own life for the Hettman;
being attached to the person of his beloved leader
front principles of religion as well as from the bonds
of esteem and affection they all burn with desire
to distinguish themselves in his eyes ; for, after the
glorious and honourable termination of the war,
when the Heitman shall conduta his faithful -men
home to their own cherished country, that Cossack
who should have been guilty of any act of cowardice
or meanness in the field, would not be permitted to
enjoy that happiness, but turned away as an outcast,
with ignominy and conterript.
. On the lath and 14th, the Hettman continued
at Gronau and its environs, well convinced that the
enemy would not dare to attempt any thing. Nor
did he enemy venture a single step ; and the
Flett-
man, having delivered up his command to the brave
and distinguished Prince BAGRATHION, hastened to
the left wing of the army, where he would have the
same influence on his troops to produce similar
elfe6.ls. He employs his men every day to take
some of the enemy, and frequently by hundreds ;
arnwtst them there are frequently a number of in..
surgents, who (at least according to their own unit
IlialOUS declaration) are -soldiers only from. compul-
sion. These troops are hardly worth the cloathing,
though, indeed, that costs the enemy nothing. They
have a great dread of the Cossacks, and are almost

afraid of firing a musket at them.
BARTRNSTELN, MARCH 22.—The affair of the
.Igth,.between the Hettman PLArow and the ene-;
my, near Passenheim, tends greatly to his Credit; by
reason of thaable disposition he had made. Seve-
ral thousands of the enemy were surprised by hini
on two points at once, upwards of 700' of whom
were killed, and i i .officers and 340 men taken

The principal objet was obtained at the same time,,
that of alarming the whole French Army, and th 6
enemy was obliged to remain under arms tier a long
While. The Heitman did not males✓ any use of the

numerous body of regulars Which the Russian Com-

wander had sent to his support ; nor was there any
room for it, from the great rapidity with which these
athirs were executed.

The Gazette of last night contain§ an baler in
Council, dated April 15, allowing for a further
space of six months, from the t 6th instant, the
importation into any port or place of Great Britain,
any, beans, called kidney or French beans,- tares;

On Monday a Smuggling Boat was brought into
Dover by the Tide Surveyor of Folkestone. She
was driven on shore there by the Lively. Excise Cut-
ter, of Dover, Capt. L3LBURNE : 3he hod on board
between 5 and tioo kegs of spirits, besides tea and
tobacco. It is said, that, after the vessel had been
in possession °Pate officers, she was fired at from
the shore. She has several shot holes, and. other
marks of violence. Two dragoon horses, it is said,
have been killed by the tire from the shore.

From -the LONDON GAZETI'E April
_2l, 1807.

Foreign-Office, Downing-street, April cO, 1807.
The following intelligence yespeaing the raising
the siege of Stralsund, and the subsequent expulsion
.0t the French forces from Swedish Potnerania, has
been this day officially transmitted to Mr. Secretary
Canning, by Baron RehauSen, hi 4 Swedish Majesty's
Minister Plenipotentiary at this Court :
Malmo, April 7, 1807.
Baron De Bojie, Aid-de-camp, to his Majesty, ar-
rived yesterday with Dispatches from Baron D'Es-
sen, Governor-General of Pomerania, of which the
following is an extra& :
Having received certain information of the ene,
my's-having commenced his retreat from Pomerania
by small detachments, I ordered the following
troops to advance in two coluMns, for the purpose
of forcing him to quit his intrenchrrients, and to
abandon Swedish Pbmerania. The first column,
under my orders, was commanded by the Chief of
Brigade Baron De Tavast, and consisted of eight
squadrons 0f Hussars, a detachment of flying Artil-,
lery, and-fnur battalions of Infantry, with their divi-
sions 'of Chasseurs. The second column was of
equal farce With the first, and was commanded by
the Chief of Brigade Baron De Vegesack, under the
orders of Lieut.-Gen. Baron D'Artnfeldt. These two
columns, marching on the same line, met with the
enemy at Liissow, attacked him, and atter a vigorous
resistance, forced him to abandon that post, and to
re-tire upon Silderhagen. Here the attack was again
renewed; a brisk fire from his light, troops checked
us for some time, but the fire from the artillery at-
tached to our two columns soon obliged him to• retire,
upon Voigdehagen, where he was attacked in front
by the corumn under Baron D'Armfeldt, and re-
pulsed with great loss ;' left flank baying been
at the same_ time turned by the corps under the
command of Baron De Tavast. •
Whilst our troops' were carrying the village of
Voigdehagen, the enemy had abandoned. his bat-
teries and intrenchments before Stralsund, and had
intrenched himself anew on. the. heights between
Voigdehagen end Teschenhagen-, on witich he had
planted a battery of four pieces of cannon and two
howitzers, whose incessant fire prevented our troops
from advancing, till our artillery had succeeded in
dismounting them. • The loss of the enemy on this
occasion must. have been considerable, since an
Officer in the Dutch service his said that only 24
men of his •Regiment were left alive. We, bad but
three aficers and about 20 men, wounded
,in this
affair. - ,

The Enemy shortly afterwards quitted Lis posi-
fon, and retired upon. Teschenhagen,. after having
vainly attempted to make himself
.master of a marsh
covered with underwood, but was prevented from
so doing by two Companies of Infantry, who, by a
well-sustained fire, obliged him to retire. My co:
lutnn then made a movement, in order to harass the

left flank of the Enemy, whose retreat shortly be-
came general, retiring from post to post, with the
loss of many Prisoners, a quantity ,of baggage, and
magazines of all kinds, of which we have not yet
had time -to make out completeyeturns. My co-
lumn took possession of Loitz on the 2d of April,
and, the same day, Baron D'Armfeldt's column en-
tered Greisswald, where it took six Officers, and .a
great many French Soldiers fell into our hands, as
well as the Enemy's Hospital, I.ybrre we recovered
all the Swedish. Soldiers who had been wounded and
taken Prisoners in the, action of the 14th March.
Above one thousand muskets, two hundred brace of
pistols, and considerable magazines, were found
there. On the 3d April I entered Deinnien with
my coltnin, and I sent on my Light Troops in pur-
suit of the Enemy towards. Mecklenbourg. The
Garrison of Detnnien were all made Prisoucrs after
a feeble resistance. Some small detachments of
Hussars, sent in pursuit of the Enemy, were con-
tinuaily coining in with French and Qdtch Prisoners;
and three Hussars alone took one hundred and four
Men on the road to Neukahlan. A great number of
Prisoners were made, and some stands of arms and
provisions taken from the Enemy at Darguhn.
A.Detacinnent commanded by Lieutenant-Colo-
nel Baron De Cederstrotn took a quantity of bag-
-0.10.e-from the Enemy,- together with two Officers
bag-
;a ;e-from
and two hundred and seven Soldiers. The Maga-
zines that have been taken- 'are very considerable,
but there has not as yet been time to make out Re-

turns,
f'7, I-cannot sufficiently praise the good.condua, the
bravery, the coolness, and the presetfc6 of mind
'evinced by the Chief of Brigade Baron •De Tavast.
,• Lieutenant-Colonel Baron De Cederstrom, Major
D'Essen, the 'Captains of, Cavalry Geger and De
Platen, and in general ail the Officers, as well as
the Troops, condoeted themselves with such intre-
pidity and discipline; that I could not, without re-
proaching myself, refrain from expressing to your
Majesty the satisfaation I feel at having had the
.connuand of such brave men, or from giving them
'that honoural)le testimony on inv part which their
good conduct has so highly deserved.
- • Baron D'Armteldt entered, the town of Anclam

tliis:morning, where he took two 'Officers and one
ninandred and fifty. Wen, besides a considerable booty;
one thousand nine hundred and ninety-five Vrede-
ries D'Or, and itbout three thousand Crowns belong-
r_litfg to the linemy,'s military chest, have also been
:.taken.

Troops exceeded one thousand Men, and twenty
