STRALSUND,
TO 4113 MAJESTY ;THE KINO. OF HOLLAND.
" SrLiE!.--1 11.1VO already had the honour to ifi-
form your Majesty, that the troops under my•corn-
mand had made themselves masters of Stralsund. I
have .now 4o communicate to you the details.
" On the 23d I pioceeded trotu Lunenbtirgh; and
crossed the Elbe at Solspreker, in order to cover the
anise Towns, drive Schill from Nlecklenburg, and
gain possession of Dettanitz ; or bring the garrison
of that place between me and General Alhignac.
This General did take liommitz, and afterwards re-.
turned to Aibeistad.

" It being probable that the enemy had made
,himself master of 100,000 pounds of. powder, and
1)4.1 he would repair to Stralsund, in .order to defend
himself there, I 'requested the Danish General Ewald
strengthen Any left wing by a column of 1500
• tnen,,with which he complied.
" Schill was master of all Mecklenburg he had
levied itninense contributions, and tinted a. number
of recruits. He possessed the country train Wis-
mar to Rostock, tram whence he had driven the.
Mecklenburg garrison, and taken a number of arms
and pieces of cannon,- from 12 to 6-pounders. In
the harbours of those two towns he had embarked
Lis sick and wounded in 32 vessels, each of which
contained 15 men on board, though they would have
beld coo a piece : a proof-that he wanted the Vessels'
far other purposes.
" When Schill abandoned his post to me, he of
necessity threw himself behind, the Regnitz, which
was in two places.defended by Mecklenburg troops,.
He then proceeded to Stralsund, w Mich he entered
on the 115th of May. He took the
.French and
Mecklenburgers who were there prisoners of war,
committed the gre.itest cruelties in the town, and
murdered several Frenchmen with his own hand.
Having delivered the whole of Mecklenburg, I
crossed the Regnitz at Damgarten, and at 'ten o'clock
Cif the morning of 31st, I together with the Da-
nish troops under General Ewald, came before
Stralsund.
" Though the fortifications of the, place bad been
rated, yet there remained a broad and deep ditch,
full of water, and Schill with incredible ardour
availed himself of the situation, by cutting trenches
across the roads, building draw-bridges, planting
heavy artillery, &c.
0` The town was defended by five or 6000 men.
They consisted et I 000 cavalry, of which 600 were
Schiil's regrkent ; all the old Swedish deserters,
who served the artillery ; some foresters, and coun-
trymen of the different countries lie bad crossed
through, and whom he bad compelled to go with
nearly 1500 of the Pomeranian militia who
bad joined him, Prussian and Austrian deserters,
and people of all kinds colleted together ; and last-
ly, a part of the Mecklenburg troop.; he had taken
'prisoners, and who afterwards turned their anus •
against us. Schill had armed alt his men with fife.
locks.
" Having to cover my designs, made a false at•
tick upon the Tripsee gate, I ordered the principal
attack to be made upon the Knielier gate, the horn-
wori; of which' was defended by 18. cannon of large
calibre, and nine.other pieces, which Maintained a
fire. \ I ordered a sudden assault to be made. The
dth regitnent, led by Colonel Behr, advanced first,
and was foll Owed by the 9th, under Colonel Vezier,
your Majesty's Aide-de-Camp. kle penetrated into
the town, notwithstanding the. most obstinate resis-
tance.

" The enemy, however, formed in the town.—;-
They fired from the houses, and the corner of every
street was the scene of anew engagement. Every
whale they 'might man to man, foot to foot, with
great fury. A part of the Dula, and the whole of
the Danish cavalry; fought with Schill's cavalry. In
the mean while the batteries between the Tripsee
and the Knieper gates continued to fire upon those
of our troops, which were still out of the town.—
FUrther engagements took place till the enemy was
drisien (roman his guns. At length, after a severe
battle of two hours, the enemy was every where in
flight, an 4 our victory was complete. •
" The loss of the enemy is inexpressible. Schill
Bed 20 of his Officers are killed. Eight hundred
were made prisontri. Every day diScoVers more ,of
them, who were concealed in the housei. They are
almost all Wounded. The streets were filled with
dead bodies.

" One hundred and ninety-two of
.Schill's fol-
lowers escapecL Of these there. were 13 Hussar
Officers, of whom seven bad been lately appointed
by Sehill, 158 Hussars, and 13 fusileers. These

begged permission to return to Prussia,. which I al.
lowed, and caused than to be conduaecr by two
Staff Officers. When- they catne to the frontiers;
they bound themselves by writing to subMit to any
punishment the King of Prussia might Julia,:
" it is to be observed, that of the 1:6 Officers
who lett Berlin with Schill, 12 Have bcco sin i
killed, and 7 are wounded or prisoners.

"1 This day, Sire, has been p,lorious to your Ma-
jesty's troops. Had Schiff obLiiiied possession ;of
Stralsund, mid fortified there, it would have
beeh difficult to dispossess -him he might' have
