RRRLIN, APRIL 14.—Letters from Dantzic an-
nounce that the siege of that place iS continued with
Much aaivity ; the Garrison has indeed made seve-
ral sorties ;-, but has always been repulsed with loss ;
we are assured that some Russian
,trOops have at
rivedin that city, which were sent by sea. In one
'Of thelast sorties 40 Russians were wade prisoners.

Four hundred Prusiians, frcAn Konigsburgh, who
debarked almost opposite Pillau, scarcely arrived at
the village of Karlsber when ttley were taken by a
small French division—among theSe 400, men, are
120 horsemen. . • .

The Emperor made a journey to Marienwerder on
the gth Apird. His Majesty arrived at the Castle of
Finckenstein, where he has established his head-
quarters.
BANKS OF TETE MAINE, APRIL IL-Her Majes-
ty the Empress is again expected .atMayeuee; her
apartments are already prepared.
A.'' converition was concluded at Zara, in the
be-
ginning of March, between his Majesty the Edye-
ror of the French and King of Italy, and the Empe-
ror of Austria King of Hungary and Bohemia, rela-
tive to the march of toe French, and Italian troops
'through the Austrian territory., This Convention
has been communicated to all the Authorities.

There is a talk of an intended Expedition of the
,English and Russian Fleets, off Tenedos, against
Smyrna:. The Russian Fleet has troops on board.

CONStANTINOFLE, MARCH 20.---The English Ad- .
miral hi. 4 repassed the Dardanelles, .where a much
more waive and continued fire was kept on him than
at his former passage. He, . however,' lost only a
CorVefte and .a Brig laden with ammunition ; 'and
on the 7th of March the whole English-Fleet was
again on its old station Otr•Tenedos.
The. English appear now to confine themselves to
the blockade of Constantinople, as they have aleady
taken severaknerchant ships under Turkish colours,
bound to that. capital. This. hostility against private,
property, his induced the Porte to have 'reCOurse to
reprisals', and the seal has been placed, not only on
the Palace, of the-English Ambassador, but on the
Warehouses of the English merchants ;. and it is un-
derstood that the declaration of war against England/
• •
Which will be published in a few clays, will be ac+,
corn rianidd by a Firinari ordering: the confiscation of
1, •
all„Englith property and goods,,.without 'exception,
throughout the whole, Turkish empire: -
- The Porte has formally acknOwledged the ii4w
Kings of Holland and of the Two Sicilies,and signified
to Count LUDOLPH, the-Minister Of -King FERDI-
NAND IV. that in future he can' only be cOnsideredas
a private individual. •

We understand that letters have been received in
town from Bombay, dated in Otlober, which state,
:that
,an account had been received from China, that
'His Majesty's Ship Phaeton, Captain WOOD, • had
taken a Spanish Ship with -1,000,000 of dollars on
,board, and had arrivqt-with her Prize at Macao;
that.the.dollars were }Aid into the East India Coin.-
paiii's 'Treasury there, for Bills on the Court of

is likewise mentioned, that she had. goods on board,
beside the bullion, of considerable value.

Capt. DA'CRES on receiving this infOrmation, im-

BY CHARLES NIONCK, Esq.
BARRISTER AT LAW. ET NOV. COLL. OXON. SOC.

l'‘'t aft a ragg;d Cont's been known
To make.a Nohte Aiver,
Sae may ye doueely fill a Throne
For a' their clishmaclaver ;
Than him at Agincourt wha shone,
Few better were or braver;
And yet wi' funny queer Sir lohn
He was an uric° shaver.

BURNS' POEMS.

lEt*nrt ye the Clash of Allll,, the Din of War?
See ! where yon Despot mounts Bellona's Car,
Rushes like Mars across tit' Ensanguin'd
And o'er the furious Coursers shakes the reins !.
Ali Europe trembles: Nations kiss the Rod,
And Kings-obey a Guilty Tyrant's Nod ;
Na►ure's convuls'd, the very4tky's o'ercast,
The " Future" steins more awful from the " Past;"
The Tempests gather, the big thunders roll,
The vivid Lightnings flash from Pole to Pole;
But ice/ round Albiiin's Isle an fleav'nly Form
"' Rides in the Whirlwind and direas the Storm !"

"Ti; Britain's Genius, arm'd with poW'r divine,
beaming G bales r9und his temples skirt !)
Fraud of his sea.girt chit's and happy plains,
Where Genius, Beauty,' Courage, Freedom reigns;
He views the tented fields, the threaening Lance,.
And .scorns the air driven Swords of" sickly" France.
" A rip, arm," he cries, " 'tis valour saves a State,

4, Commerce alone-can neer encounter Fate ;
Let Commerce perish so the State be Free,
And sacrifice your wealth to Liberty."
Like the proud MOnarch of the Sylvan Train, •
Shaking the Dew-drops from his brindled Mane,
He warms our hearts, he dissipates our fears,
Exalts our,-COurage, and forbids our Tears.
God of these Isles ! whom
.valiant Sons adore,
And, "dice welled," rev'rence more and more,
True to thy call, the Boaster we defy,
Resign our Trade, and on our SwOrds rely ;
Carthage in Wealth, we will that Wealth forego
to launch the ReAt.iir Valour:at our Foe
- The Spark BleCtric runs along the Chain
That binds us to our friends beyond the Main;
Aftea,cy Eylau makes a noble stand,
And trembling. Prussia courts our bounteous hand;
Old Bennigsen feels fir'd by Nelson's Fame,
And strives to rival Aocrcromby's Name,
While Gallant Stewart, on N•l-ida's plains,
toe long-lost trophies of Poitiers regains
With Acre's Hero; whose high-swelling Soul
Not all the Gallic Legions could corltroUl—,.
Acre, unit saw the baffled Despot fly,
While Sidney stood resolvid to vanquish or to
But who to Glory fires ?. Who best proclaims
Or glorious Chiefs or „glorious Chieftain's Names?
The Muse, The Muse,--perhaps opprest with care
And doom'd to all the torments of Despair;
-Brink's be just--tho' high the " Vitlor's"*lNltrrie,
August his Deeds, and "'sacred bthis Fame,
Yet Milton, blind, and aged, an opprest,
Still claims your Pity, ought to be t aress'd ;
Young Ammon felt Achilles' Martial fire,
But sigh'd in vain for Homer's matchless Lyre;
- Britons be just—Had your own Nelebiidied;
Not at be did, tepee the Ctietrued tide, •
But stung by Poverty (forgive the wotcl/,
Had fall'n like Cato on his own great Sword-
r-lOw had ye borne it 1—" Your eyes flash disdain"—.
Is this the Conq'ror of thesubje4 Main r!!.'
" Is 414 his Country ?"--Famine at his side .
Yet Chatterton thus drank the bitter draught and died.;
Thus Otsvay perish'd, 'though Moniinia mourn
And Belvideraihang upon •
Then dash the poison'd Chalice to the ground,
Or with rich Balsams' heal' the gaping wound;
Nor let forsaken Genius ncw'complaiii •
(A Prince our patron) in a Brunswiek's reign ;
A generous Prince who loves the sacred Nine, ,
Whose pnlisli'd mind their gayest gifts refine,
At whose command Italia ope's her stor'es,
And Roman Relics grace Britannia's shores ;
- Brave as his Moira, and like him a Friend.
To all that czi his Country's Cause extend; ' •
Whose great ptnificence(hiS Foes confess)
Ilas caus'd at once his splendour and distress :
" He leads„tiewq;"— go follow-where he leads,
And silence clamour by your generous Deeds.
But—Hold—lmmortal Newton from on "High
Looks thro' the azure mantle of the sky,
Plcas'd ro behold the Sons of Science thrive,
And* Hit vrien Klee' to genefouS deed alive ;
Pleas'd to behold a Newton but in name •
Feel all the glories of Newtonian Fame, '
Behold Him greatest at his dying Hour,
And blest beyond the Pageantry of Pow'r ;
Behold Him rescuing' Lettered Want from Woe ; • .
While future Poets in return bestow
The warmest pr‘aise that Gratitude inspires,
When Genius prompts, and Zeal. Poetic fires— •
Eternal Laurels shall surround his Bust,
And spring for ever from his sacred Dust.
Our Prince approves, the Patron smiles applause,
And Newton adds freol glory to our Cause—
No more, I trust, shall Awe Bards be told
" How warbling,Eunuchslavish'd all our gold"— .
The Greit will feel what private worth can do,.
And the same Path in Rivalship pursue— •
GENt vs with Fitz s Dom shall adorn our Plains,
While Want, with. Faaion, groans in adamantine chains.
* Mr. Newton, a collateral Relative of the Great Philoso-
pher, has lately bequeathed 60001. to the Fund.

On Thursday eleven of the Frdnch Prisoners-con-
fined on board the" Bristol, at Chathimi, cheated their
escape from that ship; by cutting through the iron
bars of one of-the pbrf holes, with a knife, and drop-
ping from thence into the water"; the whole of them
reached the shore ;• but an active pursuit being coin-.
menced immechately, they were discoVered, and every
man was" again taken, and lodged with. proper pre-
caution, in his old apartment. •
