HUSUiII MAIL.

COPENHAEN, MAY 9.—According to accounts
. from Dantzic of the sth instant, the city still held
out on that day, notwithstanding the renewed borii-
bardment, by which many persons were wounded,
and great damage was done to the buildings, though
no tire was occasioned. In the night preceding the.
29th of April, the besiegers three times attempted
to carry the place by assault, but they were repuls-
ed; and an armistice for fourhoprsfollowed,to bu-
ry the dead. On the 29th, after Cciunt KALKREUTH
had returned a refusal to a. summons, hostilities- be-
gan again. 'According to the accounts of travellers,
the town has not yet suffered'much from the bom-
bardment.

The reports we receive here with respea to the
s*J-qation of Dantzic are,. however, very different ;
acording to some its,suirender is to. be daily ex-
perled, -and according to other's it may hold ,out-yet

a long time.

Some Merchant Vessels which were bound to

Ihntzic have returned hither.
The b..teen of Prussia arrived at Konigsburgh on
the,' 20th of April. She expregsed (he greatest con-
cern for the fate of the wounded Officers :and sol-
diers of the Allied Aru visited- the new barracks
for the, sick, and gave a :considerable sum for the re-
lief of the sufferers.
Many wooden battacks have:been ereaed at Ko-.
nig-sburgh, for the better accommodation of the
sick. In a notificatioupublished by General4uenEL,'
on the 20th of April, it is said; that it was nOt, pus-
sihle to clear the chuiches for the Rerformance of
divine service, for want of oth::..r places for the re-.
ceptioti of the sick and wounded.
All the waggons and horses in Konigsburgh are
put in requisition for the public service; and it is
forbidden,' under severe penalties, to sell horses to
be taken out of the City.---(Haneb. Corsport4eniep,
May 13.)..

According to accounts from Morocco, the Empe-
ror of that'Country has, declared War against Rus-
sia and England. The frOclarnation was made with
great pomp. The Prince, surrounded by his whole
Court, was on the throne, and made a speech, in
which lie recounted the great deeds .of the i'llonfish
Nation, and exhorted his-subjeas to fresh proofs of
their valour.

Immediately afterwards the descendant of MULY
TSMaEL sent orders to the English Consuls to leave
the Stares, and issued Commissions. to Privateers to
cruize against the English and Russian Ships. The
Deys of Tunis anA Algiers have followed this exam=
pie, and a great number of. Barbary Corsairs are al-
ready eruizing in the Mediterranean.

• ' {MON THE TLILXGRAT'H.]
BERLIN, MA? 9.—The accounts published by the
Swedes, of the events of the war, .are either exag-
ferations, or misrepreseritations of the truth. - They
*ay that tile}, have taken one thousand -muskets,"
This is true, but they were broken Muskets. . They
have said that'they have 'taken about7tvventy wag,
guns. This is true, but they' were abandoned by
the peasants. They assert that they took one thou-
sand, prisoners. This is not true; they did not take
nnOre than 420, the greater part of which were
stragglers; nor ,were. there' more than about Sixty
Frenchmen among them; they Consisted principally
.of Dutch ,recruits, who, fron4 inexperience, had suf-
fered themselVes to he surprised on their
They, it is true, took ,two pieces of cannon, but
,they were only one-pounders, belonging to the town'
'of Rostock, and such as commonly belong to small
/owns. To 'say the truth, the- Swedes have never
gained any acNntage. In the engager-tient which.
preceded that of the 16th of Aptil' the French had'
four killed and eight wounded,: arid,. on the 16th
l'iloriTiEit made 1100 Swedes prisoners,. and took
seven or eight pieces of cannon. Had it been
tor the armistice their loss must have been much
E,reater.i not to mention that Marshal MORTIER,
.With a considerable force, threatened the right wing
of the Swedes. f • . . ,
The, Swedish Frigate Which w,t3s sunk at -the-en-
trance of the Swine on the 26th of April is named
rlla 4etsen. She had on board one Major, 40 Of&
cers, and 10 Seldiers, apd carried 18 guns. The
-crew were saved, but as the Ship Could not be got
it was found necessary to burn -her.

YEEON4, AMU!, 25.7--Since the sudden pinch of

fire poly ihoie Of SERRA'44IIC MARMONT left herer
§oti:o other corps which had ordprs to hold Wein-

selves in readiness tetrarch, are to remain in their
cantonments for, the present.
AUGSBURGH, MAY 3.—On the 30th nit, the I 6th
regiment of the line, infantry,, marched in here from
Brescia. Among them is the sharp-shooter who
shot Lord NELSON in the battle of Trafalgar. This
man is now a Serjeaut, and a Member of the Legion
of Honour.
• Yesterday evening General BotinEr's division
broke up for Saxony ; and to-morrow be will be
followed by MOLITOR'S division. We observe a
number of Germans ,in the French ranks.
VIENNA, MAY 2.—The Emperor, who was in-
disposed a short time at Buda, is quite restored. The
Archduke CHARLES has inspe&ed the military pre-
parations of this place and at Pest. The Prince of
'ANHALT PLESS is arrived here; and a Prussian
Courierhas passed through this city to Buda.
WARSAW, MAY 4.—According to the 'last ac-
counts from Dantzic, that city has not capitulated ;
but this event is expeaed soon. The bombardment
continues. In the last sortie the Prussians lost up-
wards of 800 men. It is probable they will not re-
peat their sorties.
The' new Yolish standard of the White Eagle has
been formally consecrated, and an Eagle is also ere&-
eJ on the Town-heuSe. Besides the 15,090 men
that are to be raised, Warsaw is to have a National
Guard out of the most respeaable Burghers, under
the Counsellor of State, A. PoTocv,Y.
COPENHAGEN, MAY 9.—Our accounts from Dant-
zic are coptradiaory in the extreme ;- some repre-
sent the place as likely to surrender every day, and
others say it may hold out a long time. In the
night of the 29th the besiegers three times attempted,
to storm the ,place, but were repulsed each time,
and obtained an Armistice of tour hours to bury the
dead. Travellers say that the place has not suf-
fered materially by the' bombardment. , All the
wagons and horses at Konigsburgh have, been put
in requisition, and persons sending a hors; out of
the plate are subject to a. heavy penalty. A:
number of Ships have sailed from Copenhagen for
Konigsburgh, and other Prussian ports, with pro-.
‘isions.

ROSTOCK, MAT 11.--SOllle thousands of pea-
sants are employed in repairing the. fortifications of
I this place. Communication with Swedish Pomerania
is no longer permitted.
THORN, APRIL is generally stated, in ac-
counts received from the Grand Army, that Rus-
sian Officers have been frequently seen reconnoitring
our position ; and that, from the number" of their
escorts; it is supposed they are persons of high rank.
At the same time we learn, that the Russians have
increased- 'considerably. in the neighbourhood of
Ortelsburgh, from whence a reinforcement has been
sent to Allenstein. Mtrshal DAVOVST has a re-
spedtable force in that neighbourhopd. The French
besieging Army before Dan tzic is estimated at 26,000
Men, and that before Colberg at 8000.
K9NIGSBURGH, APRIL 25.—Three large vessels,
carrying from 12 to 14 guns, have been completely
,fitted is;it from Pillau, and are now lying in the
Frisch Haff, between Elbing and llraunsberg. We
are also extremely wive equipping block-ships
and gun-boats. The whole coast is well guarded by
' a number of artillery, infantry, and cavalry. On
the 14th, Prince WILLIAM, the KING'S brother, ar-
rived at the army. • The enemy is entrenched
,near
Aliked, where he has about 0000 men. He seems
also to increase his force near Ailenstein and Frohen-
stein ; but it is thought that his principal tbrce is
,between Osterode, Lobau, and Lautenburgh, and all
his cavalry 'between Strasburgh and Reden.
SToextiot.n, MAY I.—The RuSsian Imperial
Chamberlain, M. RIREAMERE, who arrived here on
the 19th, from Memel, by way of Finland, with a
letter from the Emperor of RUSSIA, to our Sovereign,
received an answer to the letter, and left the city
again on the same evening.
COPEN'HAGgN, MAY T.—Respecting the late inter-
view between the King of Paussi4 and the Emperor
'of RosslA, the Konigsburgh Papers state the follow- !
ing :—The Emperor made his journey from St.
'Petersburgh, for the most part,in open sledges. On
the Ist of April he entered Polangen„and soon after
hiS Prussian Majesty arrived there in his coach,
when the Emperor, without his hat, advanced seve-
ral paces to meet his Prussian' Majesty. The carri-
age stopped, and his Majesty sprung from it into the
open arms of the Emperor. 'They embraced for
souse time without speaking, but not without tears
in their eyes ; and even after they had proceeded
together hand in hand, the Emperor again threw his
arms round his Majesty's neck.—The King retiarnea
to Memel in the afternoon. He wished, to have
brought the EMperor with him in his.carriage, but
he excused himself on account of his travelling dress ;
but on the next day.„,at, eleven in the forenoon, he-
made his public entry into Memel in his Majesty's
state coach. The King again advanced to meet
.him ; they embraced, and proceeded hand in hand.
All the Generals, the Ministers, and the- Court, were
assembled in the Grand Saloon ;- but only Baron
ITARDENBERG and Prince RADZIVIL were permitted
to ascend the steps of the throne, 'where the aueen
was standing. The Emperor, on approaching her
Majesty, kissed her hand ; her .Majesty, in return,
kissed both the cheeks of the Emperor. " Dear
'Cousin" were the only Words which her MajestY'4
feelings would permit her to utter. The .',mperoii
afterwards gave' his guards the following parole and
cour4er§igp, Menzel and Frederic."' •

According to the Kmigsturgh Paper of the 25th,
the arrival of the EMPEROR and the Grand Dulip
CONSTANTINE has caused great joy in the army;
On the gth of April, General BLUCHER and his two
sons arrived at Rosenberg, near Finckenstein. On
the 22d, an orderly officer waited upon him with an
invitation to proceed to' Finekenstein ; he rode, ac-
companied by his eldest son and an Adjutant, and
was admitted to an audience of the Emperor NAPO-
LEON, by whom he Was very graCiptNy received.
On the 23d, he proceeded, with hie' Sons and his
Adjutant, to the head-quarters of his' Prussian Ma.
jesty, at Bartenstein. '

BANKS OF Tag::,,ELßp, MAY
,11.---Ih.positions,
of the French and' Russian armies have.not t;een
materially altered for the last two months. . They
have been considerably reinforced in the course of
that time ; but the bad roads aiui thg weather have
put a complete stop to 311 military operations. This
inactivity was, notwithstanding,' interrup:ed by
attack which th 11,n0iant,4 rria de by sea on

the result of which is not yet known, 'The gar-
rison of Dantzic„ apprized Of this attack, flattered
itself that the Enemy would be obliged to raise the
siege, which, however, had not taken place on the
.30th ult. as the town was vigorously bombarded,on'
that day. The latest intelligence from the besieg-
,ing army give's us.feason to hope that the fortress
will Soon fall into our power.
Exclusive of the three Sweclish....Frigates, there
are several transports at Konigsburgh, destined to
convey 6000 men to Stralsund. Generals BLUCFIER
and TAVENZIEN, it is said, are to have the com-
mand of these troops; Two thousand Dalecariians
lately arrived at Stralsund.

HAMBURGH, MAY 1 is generally reported
that his Majesty the Emperor and King has formed
an army of observation, of which Marshal BRUNE
is to be at the head, and that his command is to be
so extensive as to cover the operations of the Grand
Army. _ •

Certain intelligence has been received, that up to
the 4th instant nothing of the least importande 'oc-
curred at the Grand Army.
LEIPSIC, MAY was yesterday reported that
Neisse had capitulated. 'Our Fair, which is just
ended, resembled a market, where a death-like
silence prevailed, and no business_was transa6ted, be-
cause neither the Greeks nor the•PoliSh Jews were
present, and consequently the streets which they.
frequented were empty. Most of ihe Inns were

3000 men were embarked at the beginning of this
month, to surprise the Enemy's troops in that: Isle.
But the wind changing in the night, the expedition;
which was already in sight of Capri, was obliged to.
return to Bajai.

GOTTEBURGH,'MAt §.--:Yesterday: a 'Swedish
vessel arrived from _ Colberg,. after having tarried
thither a cargo of herrings. The 'Captain has
brought a letter for hiS owners, wherein 'it is men-
tioned that Colberg is bravely defended against the
French, who have not yet been able to take a single
out-work, notwithstanding all the sacrifices they
have already made, especially in posses Sing them-
selves of a fort that commands the mouth, 'of the
.harbour. The inhabitants have not the least tear
that the place will be taken,: but on the contrary
think of awing offensively.
MAY 1.,---This day the King sets out from
Malmo, forYstad, accompanied by the old General
Tpt4„ where they. were going dire63ly to embark for
,Stralsund. His Majesty intends to take the com-
mand of his army, which will in a short time be
joined, according to the best information,,-by 10,000
Prussians-, and 40,000 British troops, who are daily
expeited to arrive in the Baltic. • .
The QUEEN, the Duchess of BRuNswttn., and
and the -Royal Children, are to set out. at the.same
time for this place, and preparations aremakingsberF
for their reception,.

MALMO; MAY Courier arrived here yes-
terday from Memel, who reports, that nothing.hacl
happened between the Armies on the 24th:
The advanced posts. of the two Armies, however,
approached each other,
,and a battle was hourly
peeled. The garrison of Colberg is said .to have
made a sortie; in which the French were treated so
roughly, th4t little fear is entertained fot.its future
safety. Some Men of War are ordered frorn,Carls-
crona to take on board 10,000 Prussians„,,whormare
to be landed in •Swedish Pomerania :•.tlist4g-tropp

P. S. MAY B.—Repgrts have been received here
to-day from Stockholm and other places, that a gei•
neral a6tion has been fought bet Ween the. French Pd
the Allies, which lasted three, days, and terminated
in favour of the latter; but I cannot trace them to
any
,authentic source. Negotiations .for Peace aret

LAST night Dutch Papers to the 16th inst. reach,
ed town, and a HusuN Mail also
,arrived. The in-
telligence which we hate'extraeted from them is in-
teresting, though.in some instances it is rather con-
tradi&ory. According to some accounts, the siege
Of I)antzic is pressed with so much vigour, that it is
impossible that it can hold out a while others state
that the b.dsieged have hitherto suffered very little
from the violent bombardment which has taken
Place, and that the French had been defeated with
great slaughter in three several, attempts which
they made to storm that City. The latter statement
We are inclined to
,believe, because it is positively
tnentonea in several privAe accounts which .reached

. town yesterday 'from very respeEtalie quarters.
loss of the French is said to have been from four
to six thousand men, any it is added, that they re-
quested an Armistice to bury their dead. From the
circumstance of BONA.PARTE having -attempted t 3
storm Dantzic, defended as it is by so numerous 3
a' Garrison, we are strongly inclined to believe that
General :BENNIGSEN has put his Army in motion,
for the purpose 9f raising the siege : we cannot
otherwite account for so desperate an attempt. if
the Russians advance, the siege of Dantzic must be-
'raised, becatise, numerous as BONAPARTE'S ArmY
is, it is not sufficiently so to oppose the progress of
the Allies; and at the same time to spare Troops
enough to besiege a City garrisoned by above
20,0010 men. If the accounts to which we have
alluded, of the failure of the French in an attempt to
tale Dantzic by storm, should prove to be correa.,
we have very little doubt that we shall soon hear of
the 'raising of the siege,
•
A Convention has been entered into betvvegn the
KING of PRUSSIA and the KiNG of SWEDEN, by winch
the former undertakes 'to supply- the latter with
13,000 men, who are to be.commanatd by Gen. BO-
o!lEtt : 6090 of thern..are 'expeetea, 'ininiediately at
Stralsund. Ithas beewsta.teci4..tha.t the Prussians might
be employed moreeffeetually in Poland, but of this ire
entertain considerable donbt'.' • The' Allies in Poland
are sufficiently numerous to give full employment
to 'the French ; and if
_they could bring a large
'force to at -in their rear, "BONAPi,RTE's situation
Would-. be extremely. dangerons: He is evidently
aware of this, and is theretbre nuking every exer-
tion to collet a 'strong force upon the Elbe, both to
secure his retreat, in case of a defeat? and to prevent
an'insurr'oion 'in the countries which he has ova'

run.

Since writing .the above; we have received intern'
gence,_gn, which we place the most implicit reliance,
of the defeat of the French in their attempt to stornl
Dantzic. Their 'loss amounted to near 6,000 men'
Our Readers will recollect, that we mentioned 4
few days Ego that a British Armed Vessel, disguised
''as a Merchantman, had entered' the Vistula, and
:opened her fire upon a French Column.—We are
'happy to have it in our power, from an authentic
source, to state the-particUlars of this 'gallant enter"
prize, which was performed by the Sally, hired
Armed Ship. The Captain perceiving that the
French had got possession of a Fort behind a narro
.neck of land.'at the mouth of the Vistula, where the,
appeared in. considerable numbers, disguised the
.Sally . a Merchant Ship, stood into theitiver
!)ut wifuitunately got aground she, however,
was soon got off again, but not before the French"
men had disoovered her to be a Ship of. force, an'
had time to_prepare for her reception. She
boldy up to the Fart, and opened such a volley
of grape from her carronades, assisted with musketry,
that she soon swept the fort, and killed from three
to four hundred Frenchmen. Our loss in .this daring
enterprize did not exceed 14 or 15 men.

• Wg have often testified our regret at the progreSS
of the Westminster Eletaion, on account of the pre-!
bability that a Man will obtain a Seat • in the House
of CoMmons whose known principles and repeated
declarations indeed prove him wholly unworthy of
the .chataaer of a British Senator, a Man who de.
,spiSes'the British COnstitution, and who has'unequi'
vocally said, that the Country is not worth defending..
'To every patriotic breast the pretensions of such, 5.
man must .be revolting in the extreme; and though
_wp lthow that his powers will be too insignifical
'to have any effect in the House of Commonss hoc"
ever they may have operated upon the feelings of aq
EleEtion Mob, yet, for the honour of Parliament, ire
must deeply lament thatit will be disgraced by the ad'
mission of one who has so long been the mere tool of
faElion, and who seerns.3,vbnlly incapable of profiting
by the lessons or experience, and the dangers he has.
encountered. His course seems now to be. easy and his
.Success secure, since a Candidate has thought -privet
to retire who had reasonable claims, to the supijOr
,of the Eleeiors •in general.—That Candidate is I\ll'
a Gentleman who has condu&ed himself in
such a manner during the whole of his canvass fa
Westminster,as to deserve that sepportofwhich he has
been deprived by the artifice and clamour of certain
democratical spirits, who have. obtained too much
influence in that City. • He persevered as long as In'
thought there was good sense enough among the
Elea-tors to selea a man independent in his princil
pies and in his fortune.; but when he found that

THE-E:CPEDITION:

The arrangements are nearly completed, and the
embarkation will speedily take place at Ra►usgate,
Margate. and Portsmouth, at one and the same time.
Lord CATHCART is entrusted with the chief command.
His Lordship is arrived in town for that purpose.—
Under him will serve Generals SPENCER, WAR-
LANE, Lord PAGET, BAIRD, and others of our most
darling Officers. Besides the whole of the,King's
German Legion, Artillery, Cavalry, and Infantry, a
force of 15,000. men, the Foot Guards, several regi-
ments of our other infantry, a large cavalry force,
and a very large train of artillery, will be embarked.
In military circles, the brigades are mentioned ; the
7th; loth, and 14th Light Dragoons, perhaps the
fittest brigade that ever was formed, will be command-
ed by Lord PAGET. The gallant Col. DORRIEI4 is to
have a heivy brigade, consisting of the Blqes, Scotch
Greys, and King's Dragoon Guards. We have like-
wise just heard the names of some of our ablest Co-
lonels, who are to have infantry brigades, with brevet
rank. Several of the Regiments of this Grand Ex-
pedition will come forward from Ireland, and several
of the 2d Battalions will be employed. So many
Regiments will go on this service that the duty at
home will devolve entirely on the Veteran and Gar-
rison B•ittalions and on the Militia, which last are
certainly the finest of our troops.

Regiment, the'fi7th, lately acquired such immortal
honour, is likely to go out to
,command in South
