" tieu4. ELBERS, commanding the post at Doze,
bad, no sooner received advice of this affair, than he
set 'out with 25 chasseurs,to Duneti,, and drove the
Enemy out of the village. in the in terhn Captain
Bosttive, Commander of a battalion of chasseurs
at Cuxhaven, having' received intelligence of 'the
Enemy's proceedings, ColleCled as many voltigeurs and
carabineers as he could, and placed them bn a dike
between the two villages before-mentioned. The
•Enemy observing the approach of our troops, seemed
as if they were getting their vessels ready to resist
us. Without loss of time Captain Bosetfun ordered
the drums to beat a march, and fell upon the Eng-
lish with melt' spirit, that they tied in the greatest
disorder towards the sea, where a number of them
threw themselves into the water, to endeavour,_ if
possible, to reach their vessels. Most of them were
drowned, and much the smallest part of them were
fortunate enough to save themselves in two of their
vessels. The third vessel fell into our hands; and was
burnt; after the cordage and cannon :tad been taken
out of her.
`6. The two English Frigates and a Brig stationed
upon this coast, in all probability wishing to, be re-
venged for the loss of their small craft, steered their
course towards Cuxhaven about two in the after-
noon; and commenced a heavy fire upon a three-gun
battery at the entrance of the place. This battery,
intended rather for proteaing trade than sustaining
or answering the fire of an Enemy's Squadron, had
no gunners, and scarcely three shots were fired from
it against the English.
" Capt.' Bose UD, hearing of these fresh hostili--
ties, repaired to Cuxhaven with his chassetirs with
all possible speed. The English observing the ex-
cellent discipline of our troops, dared to venture no-
thing further, but confined themselves to a simple
cannonade, without any other et e& than. slightly
wounding two chasseurs, damaging about 20 houses,
and one of the, guns on the battery.
" At seven o'clock the Enemy's Ships returned to
their former station, where, in the moping of the
25111, there was a Frigate, a:Brig, and'a Galley at
anchor.
" The intrepidity of our troops on this occasion is
an indubitable proof of what the English may expect
should they venture any other undertaking of this
kind ; we shall always be ready, 'as on the present
occasion, to receive them with fixed bayonets. _
" As a proof of his Majesty's satisfaCtion with
the conduct of Captain BoscituD, it has been his
• pleasure, on the sth instant, to appoint-him. Lieu-

DANTZIC, MAY 29:—A singular affair has oc-
curred at Sczekochin, in'' PruSsian Poland. Some
weeks since, the Governor there wished tO•have
Polish Eagle painted, which was intended to be fixed
up in front of the Town-house, with great formality.
However, as no painter could be found there, one
was sent for from a neighbouring village,'in Austrian
Poland ; but as he could not be provided with
colours sufficient for his purpose, he took the. Eagle
home with him,, which coming to the ears of :the
Austrian Commandant, both the Eagle and the pain
ter were seized, and sent-to the Tribunal at Cracow
—A letter was consequently written to theAus7
trian Commandant, with some explanations, and
requesting him to think of the wife and children of
the poor artist, to which he returned the following
answer :

" I have the honour to answer your letter, .and
inform you, that the House of- Austria can never
suffer a subjea of theirs to go unpunished who has
been accessary in promoting any measures calculated
to exterminate fidelity in the bosoms of those citi-
zens who have sworn fidelity to their lawful sove-
reign. If, the happy moment should arrive for Po-
land when the Polish Eagle shall be re-planted by a
general peace, then every brave Pole who would
celebrate such an event may employ as many Aus-
trian painters as he may Ouse. At present, reasons
of State will not permit Austrians to engage in this
buiiness. •Be assured, the wife•and children of this
unfortunate manare not indifferent to me.
" I have the honour to be, Scc. Bx."

The first statement of the provisions found in this
city was made to day. They consist of 300,000
.cwt. of wheat, 1,700,000 bottles of Wine, &c. &c.
