FOREIbiV MTELLIGENCE.'

COPENHAGEN, MAY s.—General KALE:I:MUTH
• was summoned
,tosurrender Dantzic on the 22d of
April, which he positively refused. 'On the 23d, in
. the morninef, a bombardment began, and in two 6'p;
20Q0 bombswere thrown in. On the and !.:).7th‘
the city was on tire in several.. places, particularly in
the—old town. A Captain ola ship, arrived here,
,
who tett Pithtu on the Ist, says, that the tiring on
the town continned to the 30th of April, though it
had been for &short time intermitted.
KONIGSEHEGn, MAY I.—The Queen of PIiU6SIA
has ;returned to this city pert4tly restored in. her
health. Our accounts from the armies lead us to
believe that offensive 'operations will be undertaken
in a tew days..
Ficsum,, MAY 10.—We haVe accounts here, that
the ArebLiaike has marched to . the bOrders of I tun-
,gary switn' a large army.. A' vessel arrived at Kiel
on Friday, in four days from Pillau, but she brings
nothing tresh.

The body of her Majesty the Empress of Ger-'
many/ was opened on the 14th ult. arkd on thel.sth
the heart was deposited with-great solemnity in the
churt.h of the Augustines.
'rtIRK.EY.—CZERNY GEORGE has marched with a
large body 'of Servians to sni:eirur the Bosnian Chris-
tians.—He has passed 'the Drina, after carrying .the
fortress of Zwornick, on that river, by assaul.t. .At
the date of the last accounts, he menaced Bosnia
Scrai, the capital of Bosnia, and threatened an irrui)-
\ tion into Dalmatia. Letters from Bucharesr, of the
23A IVlarkli, announce that General MI-QuELSor.t left

that place on the 1-44 h; with ft corps of, his army;
against the -Turks. The Russians proceeded in five
columns frota.Keltigeren for Turnatz, where the
Turks were surprised 'and driven out by General
ULAVIUS. In the tnean time Gen. Mir.or,Anuvion
marched against Dala-, andr.'itxlight attacked that vil-
lage; Which is on the confines of Turkey, driving
from, it a numerous body of Turks, who fled with
the greatest precipitation. • About 1000 of them,
with the twu Paellas who commanded them, got ,on
board a large vessel, and were 'pursued, along the
Danube. The Russians then formed into five divi-
sions, and continued the attack, on -.whim 4000 '
Turks. repaired to the tortress of Gurgewo, to assist
their comrades. They.adyanced, :in a line, within
musket shot of ,General,MichELioN and. his suite,
and wounded his purse and an officer hf. hussars.
General 11.Eusp4),Ea chfitrged the enerny. with
,his
dragoons, cm .several hundreds to pieces, look two
standards, many horses,l and a quantity of baggaoe.,
About 400 Turks threw, themselves into a country-
hou.se which was fortified :-General Nhoura-soN,
in order to spare the effusion of blood, offered them
a pardon tour different times, but they answered
only with their muskets. The Russians then ad-
vanced against the house, set it on fire, and put ,
nearly all the. Turks to death. This arThir, which
lasted nearly eight hours, cost the enemy 2000 men:

[EXTRACT FROM PRIVATE LETTERS.]

BANKS. OF THE ELBE, MAY L.—Yesterday a
singular occurrence took place in Hurnburgh ; Count
BERN,gTOFF (brother to the Danish Prime Minister)
was walking on the Jungfernstieg, not ' in regi-
mentals„ but with a military bat,. whiskers,
mien, and carriage sufficiently denoting the Offi-
cer.. He met Marshal BRUNE on horseback,
with his suite; and BRUNE being well mounted,
the Count turned round to:look at the horse, but
without taking off his hat to. the rider. This, it
seems, has on former occasions been denounced by •
the tens d'arnies ,as an aet derogatory.to the honour
of one of the twelve Imperial Marshals ; and on a
sudden two gem; d'urnies milted upon Count BERN-,
STOFF, and with great rudeness asked who he Was ?
With eqUal bluntness the Count answered, a
Danish Officer.' Whether
,the words Wider
Danois' were misunderstood or not (it has been since
said; the Count was understood to say, Officier de la
Loi), the Marshal cried out, arrest him.' One of
the gens d'armes collared the Count, and the Mar-
slial riding up, again asked him who .he was ? I
am Count BERNSTOFF, brother of the Minister of
State,' replied the ArrettL—‘ I beg-your pardon,'
pulled off his bat. The
said the Marshal, and
Count, however, did not return the salutation, but
insuultly turning tipOifhis heel, walked, on. The
affair has been reported.:tO the Hereditary Prince.
The Count is a man of high spirit as well as honour;
and there.ii no doubt %yid demand every satisfac-
tiori which military etiquette permits : but, it is ap-1

prehended; that not being in his uniform at the
time-(contrary to the general orders given t,) the
Danish Officers), he be deprived of the means
of taking the only •adeqOate hatistattion. It is also
said, that before the Mar6al rode.up, the Count was
asked why he had not saluted the Marshal, and that
the C,,unt replied, I am an independent man:and,
have nooh.ligaiion. to do it:

" MAY 67-4 am tired. of ,eternally repeating_
nothing from the Armies iri 'Poland and Prussia?
All we. hear-from-the-seat of war is, that -the gar-
, rison of Dantzic continues to defend itself man.-
fully? The little warfare, of advanced guards- and
scouring parties can hardly engage our attention,
with our recolletlion full of the great events that,
have takedplace, and our imagination busied by the
still greater that are to felloW. This void, which
the Want•Of intelligence produces, can be filled only
by cenjeCtnres and surmises. . Are we to attribute
this_ unexpetted repose of • the great Armies to se-
cret negotiations ? The French would gladly
have this believed ; for it serves, more than all their
petal laws, to'fill their ranks with the new con -
scripts, and keep .the conquered Ger Mans in awe.—
All the Papeqs, therelbre,,eontain the assertion ; but
no one belieVes it, noir is it confirmed by any one
'fa& whatever. There is, indeed, in the Hamburgh
Pirspondenten of yesterday, an annunciation,which,
unexplained, would favour the opinion that negotia,-
tions are ,a&nally carrying on. According to an ad-
'diiional artidle to the Armistice between ,the French
and B,,vedes, the. !Nice' cannot be broken before a
month's notice has been given. This article was
added by BONAPARTE, on 'its being presented to hiM
' for ratification ; and tar: from shewiug that the
King of Sweden has ratified the original Treaty, may
have the. effe.Ct of annulling it; even should it; hove
been already. ratified lie: the King. However, it is
not ascertained
.that the King has ratified the Ar-
mistice the,conirary is the general'assertion, though
it is strange that no public declaration on the part
of Swett:l.ll4las yet appeared. •• - •
_ " Some time since, as you already know, llam-
burgh was left destitute of troops. ..Marshal Bit ONE,
the Governor, joined the forces of Marshal Mon.-
.TIER,jII Pomerania.. :This, movement arose, I-am
told, from false intelligence received by the French,
that the English Expedition had aCtually set sail for
Stralsund.
" In the mean while, this quarter; which is ex-
' poSed to the attacks of the English, is to be strength-
ened by troops.from the South..The,corps, of 35,000,
whose march is so tautologically announced in the
Harnburgh Correspondenten.of yesterday? from the
Frioul towards,Augsburgh, is, it is said, destined to
the North of Germany. But for this. as,ertion, I
should have construed this movement as a measure of
precaution, against Aestria,.in favour of Bavaria and
-the Allies in the - South of- Germany I fear the.
only certain dedu6tion we can 'now make from this
operation, is, that the French have too well succeed-
ed, in Turkey-to be. any longer in apprehension of a
diversion in.Dalmatis by the -suited fOl'cs' of Russia
and England; ..There have lately beenreports that
the English Fcloe` t had received teneforcemeuts, and
again forced the passage .of the Dardanelles; but
they died away of themselves, meeting with no credit.
The anecdote I related of the French MarAal
and the Danish Count, has had the issue I foretold:
The Prince Royal was of opinion, that the Count
havieg appeared with the genexal air of a military
mar.' (having whiskers);w;thout the Danish utn:form,
the alfront cannot be redressed, -it being occasioned
by the irregularity and informality of the COunt, in
appearing publicly, in dishabille.
" One of the Hamburgh Pipers Was pet down 1
last week, for daring to assert' that the King of SWE-
itEN I:ad not ranted the Armistice.

M" I'. S. Iris said, that -whim the-King of Sweden
received the intelligence of the unfortunate Arrni:.
stice, he. was so
.atfeCted that he retired into h►s
cabinet, and did not speak to any one tor same hours.
`,` Curren‘treport says, that the Stales of Sweden
have expressed a desire for peace; and that the
measures the Kirt is desirous to take: are much
shackled and impeded by the opposition he meets
with from the Nobles.

MAY 9.--Within a few days the silence of our
coffee-house politicians has at length burst its bonds;
and, as a very wide inundation generally follows
when the dykes and dams are brolcen down, so our
newsmongers have not been scanty in their intelli-
gence. the first- man you meet what is the
news ? and he Avill tell you, the siege..of Dantzic is
raised,-and that Braunsburgh, after a very bloody
resistance, has been taken,. sworel in hand, by the
Russians : but you may ask. twenty such news-
bearers without receiving any satisfactory authority
for such reports. *However, they are not...confined
to this quarter, but coine'direiTy from Berlin.
" Less vague is the intbrmation brought from
Denmark. 'lt is, said, that on the Emperor ALEX-
ANDER'S arriving at the head-quarters,- he, urged
General BENtIGSEN to attack BosArARTE (without,
however"presuming; as Monarch, to command the
General). General Biit:iNiGiEN declined ir; saying,
I.I3ONAPiriE: has 'an 'admirable, ppsition, and we
must sacrifice vast: numbers in commencing an at-
tack against him, and that to na,purpose ; as I.
pledge myself he will be forced to retreat Very soon.
He has already nearly exhausted the rich isiarid
,of
.Nogat, and must retreat for .want' of proyisions.'
This assertion corresponds with the general reports
concerning the raising-.4 the siege of Dantzic, and
consequent retreat at the French on that side.
Concerning the King of SWEDEN, our latest
information is. more favourable. The armistice in
Pomerania is to be kept through policy. But at the
same time, there has been no public ratification
made' knoWn, unless, indeed, the pUblication of
the articles in Swedish, under the eyes of the King,
at Malmoe, be a tacit ratification.

" Be•this as it may, the disposition of the King is
unchanged. Far from,making peace with France,
he is actually aiding Prussia with vessels, and in eve-'
ry way lett him. The autient enmity between yese
Powers is forgotten, and the \two Monarchs ate re:
solved to make theirs a common cause.,

" There are at present at Hatnburgh 3600 men ;
and Marshal BRUNE is about to take-up his residence
in a country house. -

" Cabinet of Pienna still av9zds declaring it-
self. How long will this state continue..

Par ever on the brinli of being born /1

" Amongother anecdotes which I have heardjbut
I cannot' report with' certainty) is one respeding
SoniLL,whose volunteers have already dune so much
in Prussian Pomerania to annoy the rear of the ene-

WE have-made-to-day some further. extras from
the Foreign Journals which arrived on Saturday.--
They concur in stating,,,- that the KING :Of SWEDEN
-had refused to ratifysthe Armistice; • and the follow- •
Lig is said to be an eictraBt ,trom' the Letter in which
tris Majesty announced his determination upon the ,
subje& to Gen. ESSEN : • "•• '
•-• '
" I learn, with much.displeasure,: that you have conClud-
.ed an Armistice with NA roLEON, Commander of the French
Armies,,c, I conternn.his proffered 'friendship, and consider
that my own honour, as: well as the interetit of my people,
impose on me the necessity of treating hire as An enemy,''`,
Itis added, that General EssEu, on the.4th
.stant, apprized General MORTIER that Hii,MAJESTY
-had refused to ratify the Armistice, and that of course
.Hostilities Were to
,recommenee in ten days.
consequence of which General- MORTIER had as-
sembled all the Troops in. Brunswick, IVlecklen-
burgh, &c. and had again suspended •,t::eSiege of;
Colbert. The latest accounts from the Armies in,
Poland are of the Ist May, and at that time -no affair.
of consequence had taken place ; but-as the French
are pressing the siege of Dantzic with so much
vigour, it is highly probable that General BENNIGSEN
will make an
,attprrit4 to relieve it, which will lead
to a, decisive aEtion. The accounts brought by thQ
•
Russian Messenger that arrived on Saturday last are
• ..•
most satisfa6tory ; the Reinforcetnents which had
been ordered to join General. BENNIGSEN'S Artily
had all'arrived; rind the Whole Army was hi perted
health and spirits. The arrival of the EMPEROR had
very. much contributed to raise the entliusiasm.of
the Army.. MAJESTY does not at..allinterfere
in the command.

Pr is our painful duty again to observe, that Sir
FnANcts liciaDETT is at the head of the Poll for the
City of 'Westminster. The man who was deemed
by his Constittients unfit to be sent into the presence
of his SOYEREIGN with an Addreis—the man who
was afterwards rejeaed with centempt by the Elec-
tors of Middlesex, 'stands at the head of the Poll for
the City of Westminster,. We cannot, however,
belieVe that' the, loyal inhabitants of this City Nvill
sutler this disgrace long to continue : there are thou
..
sands of them yet unpolled; but if ,they do not
mediately rouse th'einselves from their apathy, their
exertions 3will be too late. It is almost an insult to
the:common sense of the Electors of this City to ask
upon what grounds Sir FRANCES rests his claim to
their favours ? D 6 they believe that he will employ

his talents,, such as they are, in Calling' forth and
;directing the energies of this Country against the
Common enemy of mankind, because he publicly and
solemnly declared ,that the Country was not worth
defending ? Do they believe that his talents will be

employed in recommending submission to the Laws,.
and respe6t to the Magistracy of the Country, be-
{ cause he sheaved such, a marked contempt for both
during his Eie4tions for Middlesex ? We do not

believe his most 'unblushing- partizans will -urge

his claims upon these grounds. But we are told
of his political consistency : If by political con-
sistency they mean a
.pertinacious systematic op-
position to all Administrations, upon all ques-
tions, we shall certainly .not dispute his claim.
It is not only the present, but the late Administra-
.tion7—Not only the friends of Mr. PITT, but of Mr.
Fox and LOrd GRENVILLE, that are honoured with
the abuse of Sir FRANC' s, and represented as ene-
mies of their Country. All the Peerage of Great
Britain, all the' Gentlemen of landed Property, all
