hawing-three times stormed GiurgeWo, had taken
that tort Fess; and consequently that General MI C

with the Turks, passed the .Morawa

Besides the- Bulletins of the Grand Army, we
have thecontinuation of the Journal of the Siege of
Dantzic to the 3oth of April. From 'this it appears,
that at one o'clock in the morning of the 24th the
bombardment began from mortars and howitzers,
and was continued in the course of the day from all
the artillery before the plaCe. The fire has been in-
cessant ever since, and the works of the besiegers
considerably advanced, notwithstanding the vigorous
fire of the enemy, and some sorties. It has only been
now and then, in conseqbence of these sorties, that the
,besiegers' :fire has ceased; once, for instance,. on the
afternoon' of the 27th, from five till seven .o'clock* 111
consequence of General C.ALKREUTH'S request to
bury the dead, who had fallen in the sortie of the
preceding night.. _

The principal sorties occurred in the night be-
t-Weer': the 26th and .t7th, when the enemy had 140
-/Olieci, and we had only 11 killed, and 29' wounded:.
and_ 'iii the night of the 28th, when the enemy had
70 killed, anti a number of wounded, and upwards ot.
900 made prisoners, on'which occasion our loss did
not exCeed'eight killed, and 25 wounded.
TheicommunicatiOn bet Ween the"Forr of Weixel-
munde had already been cut off, and, of course, the
arrival of reinforcements at Dantzic Was impossrible,s
in consequence of the batteries we had thrown up, .":
and the number Of
„armed vesselt which. we had in.
the river.

noai of the Ist inst. intelligence had been- received -
there that the Seahorse Frigate, 0.'44 ktins; hid been

several corps pf troop have passed through this city
from the neighbourhood of Boulogne towarda Wesel,
where they are to wait further orders.

•
BERLIN, MAY 9,—tip to the 4th nothing had
occurred between either of the armies. The enemy's
preparations indicate that lie will direet his grand
attack along the coast, as, in case of succeeding, be
will be,in.kbctter situation for relieving Dantzie,,
and also for.receiving support from the Shipping of
England,, lussia, and Sweden. Besides the three
Swedish..Wrigates at Iconigsburgh, intended for tak-.
ing, troops on board, several thousand Russians have
been embarked at Pillau, in order to be. landed upon,
the Frisch-Nerung, near Dantzic.
By land, the advanced poSts of the Russians and
Prussians are extended in the front of Braunsburgh,
mad Muhlsack. The French advanced posts on the
left side are at Frauenburgh, Mulhausen, and WOrm-
ditt. The latter place is occupied
.by 8000 of the
Marshal Prince of. Ponte Corvo's corps. Within
the circuit of six leagues
,about thirty thousand men
are, efitamped ; and, in faft, the whole army is in
such a position as to be ready for a general action itl
a few hours. About the end of last mop;h, couriers
were dispatched froth the head-quarters to all the- re-
inforcements on their march, to hasten their approach,
With all possible speed.
. An uncommon scarcity of provisions prevails' at
Dantzic, and all the Prussian ports. In the- interim,
General KIALKILEUTH hag replied, in answer to the
summons sent, him alter the first bombardment, that
it would be time enough to think of proposals .vhe
a breach should be made.. Every thing is now ill
readiness for the bombardment of Colberg, and.
_Graudentz.

of Germany to become mediator between him and

SMITHFIELD MARKET, M 22.

THE Tatla:raes.—The Tragedy of Pizarro was
presented last night at Drury Lane Theatre, for
the benefit of Mr. BARRYMORE, and. Mr. WELSH,
the conduaor of the Chorus. It might be thought,
that such a respe&able A&or as the former, who has
°een so long upon the London stage, and who was
never known to scant his duty on any occasion,
Would. have •had interest enough with the Public
to warrant him ,in venturing singly to take a bene-
but in the• theatrical life, more than any
other, experience haS fully shewn that novelty
has greater weight than all pretensions founded
Upon more substantial grounds.—The character of
'Rolla was on this occasion represented by a Gentle-
Man whose assumed name isSevToN, but who is
Said to be well-conneaed, and in a situation that
Places him above the necessity of any theatrical,
enterprizes. • This Gentleman had to undergo a-
difficult task, in- following a Performer who is at-
the head of his profession, and for whom the charac7."
.ter was expressly designed on the English stage, but
he acquitted himself in such a manner as to deserve
°Very commendatory notice. There was through-
Out his performance a strong appearance of sensi=
bility, a just conception of the part, and above all, a
Simplicity in his manner that was highly interesting:
lie was chiefly successful in the pathetic passages,
but he displayed a considerable degree of spirit in
those of the - heroic kind. His errors were mostly
the result of inexperience, and such as would soon
Wear off by praaice. He was very well received,
and would be a respeaable addition to the London
stage. .We have so 'often noticed the rest of the
Performance, that no additional comment can be
necessary. .
COvereT-Gaapari.—Cootta last night took the
Tragedy of King Liar for his benefit, and appeared
in the venerable hero of the Piece, in which be was
respeetable, -if not great. Edgar, which is a very ardtt=
ons.chargter, was supported with considerable ability
,_by Mr. C. KE14131.3, and he obtained much applause..
Alin SMITH also was much distinguished by peblic
favour for her interesting performance in Cordelia.
The Farce was Love-a-lajelode, in which r:
appears to unrivalled advantage in Sir Archy: The
Part of Sir Callaghan was performed by a new Per-
former, whose spirit seemed to be restrained by dif-
fidence, but who did not want the charaaeristic ac-
Oent of his supposed country.
THE OPERA.—The, Comic Opera of Ii Fanatic*
Per 14: Musica, rendered so popular by the admira-
ble exertions of NALDI, was last night represented
at the King's. Theatre, for the benefit of that Per-
former. He was in high spirits, and exerted him-
Self in such a manner as to display exquisite hu-
mour, •as well as very great musical skill, taste and
knowledge. CATALANI took the chara&er in
Which Mrs. BILLINGTON originally. appeared.
*'''CATALANI'S powers chiefly belong to the
Pathetic and the impassiotled • but she entered
into 'the part with spirit, and performed it with ease.
The House was well attended, and the PRINCE of
'VALES, the DUKE of CLARENCE, with many of
the higher order, were present.
The Direaors of the Concert of Ancient Music
do not implicitly follow the multittidelli ;_ding
of musical talents, and have therefore already el%
fered an engagement to Mrs. BILLINGTON for. next
season, which she has positively declined.
Some Ladies observing the easel of an eminent
Portrait painter, said " it resembled •a guillotine ;"
" Yes," said he, " it does so ; for I execute a good
deal upon it ; and, I assure you, many. excellent
beads are there taken eff!" •
CRICKET.-.-On Monday, May, the 18th, corn-.
tnenced playing in Lord's Ground, the Grand Match
between five Gentlemen of the Mary-le-bone Club
and six players, -against eleven of the County of
Middlesex, for five hundred guineas a side, which
Was decided on Wednesday in favour of the County,
by forty-eight runs.'
On the llth inst. a melancholy circumstance oc-
,curred at the Paper-mill of John Larkin, Esq. at
East Maling, iu Kent.—A boy of 16 years of age,
son of khe Foreman, in , walking round a copper,
about nine feet deep, with boiling rags, "fell in,
and was so dreadfully scalded that he died the day'

This day's Market was but thinly supplied with
different kinds of Cattle ; Beef and Mutton are ra-
ther cheaper than our last report ; Lamb, is dearer ;
Veal and Pork sold at last prices, and the trade in
general is somewhat flat.—The,Sales in ,the Hay-
17narket were inconsiderable; Hay, Straw, and Clo-
ver obtained last prices. The following prices and
ambers is an accurate statement :

further declension, prime Samples do not main-

Without purchasers ; Barley inclines lower, and
Malt is cheaper ; Beans of the two kinds have
heavy sale, at rather less price. There is a mid-
