BERLIN, MAY 20.—(Faom THE TELEGIt APH.)—
The Russians perceiNing the impossibility of attack-
ing the•front of the French Army without exposing
themselves to..very great loss, underthok to save
Dantzic by a landing, which was etle6ted on the
ISt h the entrenched camp of Weichselmunde; on
the bank of the Vistula.

The division of General OtißlNor arrived on this
bank almoSt at the same tinie with the Russians, and
shut them up in Weichsehnunde, where they were
obliged to take refuge. On the lath, in the morn-
ing, Lieut. General KAMENSKOI, who commanded
the. disembarked troops, attempted a sortie at .the
head of-0.00 men, when in three columns, with a
view tp take the island; of which the French had been
in possession several days. He was completely re-
pulsed, and lost 2000 men, including some. pri-
soners, among 'were' several &leers. He
returned to Wichselmunde in the greatest confu-
sion, after the 12th regiment had fallen upon his
flank and routed it. -

The shattered remains of the Russian troops un-
der the command of Lieut. General KAnENsKot, are
cloSely blockaded in Weichseimunde, and can hav'e
no communication with'the city ofDantzic. These
troops have to contend with considerable forces,
among which are the division d'Elites and the Vol-
tigeurs, under the command of Gen. OuniNoT.

General LENA:RaoIs ha's set fire to a great number
of rafts ::which the• 11U:151311S had built on the lng,
He was opposed on this occasion by 6000 men, who
were defeated.

Imperial head-quarters at Fincken stein, announce the,

,was cOn-
neeted with i4e, expegiticm of ,Lieut. General KA-
mArrsior ; both were intended to elle& the deliverance
of Dantzic.,

On the 13th the Enemy attacked General La-
mix RROIS, who, at the head of a Bavarian brigade and
a Polish regiment, had passed the Narew to, bum
the rafts which the Enemy had construded six Weeks
before at Nyaskowo. All these rafts were burnt.
The Enemy appeared before the entrenchments of
General LEMARROIS ; but were defeated, and left
Many killed on the field of battle. Marshal MAST

THORN, MAY. 7.—TO judge by the accounts given
V deserters, General .KA LKl{ LUTZ seems determin
ed not to surrender Dantzic without an assault.
The weather is now favontable for the transport of
.artillery and baggage, atyl the rear works near.
Thorn .are mounted will, cannon ; the magazines
. are also furnished with keQvisions and:ammunition ;.
nor are the points of defence in the rear of the

a strong line of defence.—(Hamburg CorresP24-

NUREMBURGII, MAY i6.--A Letter from: a Gen-
tleman of distinction in the- R.Ossian §drvice contains
the following passage :--Notwithstanding the war-
like preparations on both sides, hopes of peace May
yet be entertained; the .negotiations are not yet
broken off; nay, many important points are already
agreed upon, although it appears a ,thtlitult task to
settle others. The question is not to conclude a
separate peace with Prussia, but a general peace,
WhiCh is even to include Great Britain ; according
to other accounts, however, the negotiations for
peace are not likely to prove successful."

KONIGSBURGH, MAY 9.—The following is the
summons sent by Marshal LEFEBVRE to General
KALKREUTH

GENERAL,

" Fred the esteem for your Excellency, and out
of conapAsion for the inhabitants' of
pantile, I have
hitherto not made use of all the means in my power
to 'compel the place to surrender. I believe that
your reputation, long since established; cannot suffer
in the least degree by' the surrepder of Dantzic, as
you must know that the Swedish Army was totally
defeated on the 16th and 17th, and on thelBth was
obliged to engage, neither directly nor indirectly, to
aribrd any assistance to Colburgh or Dantzie, And,
in tine, it must be clear to your Excellency, that,
under such circurnstanees, any hope of relieving the
place must be ilroundless. •

LONDON,

MONDAY, JUNE 1, 19.07.

LAST night we received French and Dutch .11i2:iter,v
the former to the 25th, and the latter to the 2gth
ult.; and this morning, at a very early hour, a Mail'
from Tonningen arrived. We hive made copious.
Extra is from them, but our Leaders will, of
course, receive with considerable Caution the ac-
counts which they contain of the operations of the
Armies in Poland. A number of skirmishes have
taken place, all ,of 'which are represented as
having terminated' in faVour of the `French; but
ws are the less disposed to. comment upon these de-.
tails, because we have reason to believe, from the
most authentic sources of information,- that A GE.:
NERAL BATTLE has been FOTJGHT. A Courier
had reached HarnbUrgh from the Artny immediately
befOre our accounts came away, with the intelli-.
gence that a, General Adtion had commenced along
the whole Line, and from the immense numbers of
. ,
men engaged on both sides,, it was(supposedthat-the.
Battle would last several days. A similar account had
reached Flushing, and though this intelligence is not
official,. we have no doubt of its truth. The fate
of Dantzic, and, perhaps that of the whole Conti-
nent of gurope, will depend upon the result of this
Battle.

By the Gottenturgia w,hich, arrived this,
morning, we have received the following intelli:-

GEN, MAY 22.

Accounts received yesterday from Dant*

that though it is more stronglybornbarded than ever.
and though 171. houses have been destroyed, it has
yet a prospect of holding out, as succours we.e
hourly expeCted to be thrown into it.
`"The Captain of a Ship who arrived at Elsineur
the day before. yesterday from Memel reports, that
the French troops in Poland were reduced to such a
want of provisions, as to be obliged -to eat their
horses : he also, but it is feared without foundation,
reports, that 100,000 Austrians are on their march
to join the

General ARMVP.DT, who, by advancing too far in
the late aEtions with the French, occasioned the
miserable Armistice that followed, bas received
pennission, or rather been obliged, to resign his
command.—He is esteemed the best General the
Swedes have. The following is the Address by
which he has taken leave of the- Army in Po•
merania :

THE OFFICERS OF THE ARMY ASSEMBLED IN

POMERANIA.

If 'General ARMFkLDT, who has obtained his Ma-
jesty's most gracious permission to resign the corn-
rPand he has held for the • three last years past, re-
commends himself to the love and fiiendship of all
the Officers; full of gratitude:foi' the zeal they have
displayed in his Majesty's service, and_the undaunted
spirit which have marked their conduct on ail occa-
sions, it is With deep' concern. General .A.RmrELDT
has to regret that they have not reaped any other
heneAt from their exertions' than the honour .of
Ilaviz,g:maintained, as Men and Swedes, the ancient
Military glory of our nation.- •

is respected in the Archipelago.

from the Vis.tula, the fortress of Qraudc:atz was
vigorously bombarded. on, the 7th and Bth of April,

that the French have raised the siege of IDantzic,
and drawn off their troops to join the Grand ArnlY•
There seems reason to believe that this report is well

A short time will shew whether this event will
hasten the great battle which is expected, and the
result of which must' be so interesting to all Europe•
