FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

LAST ORDER OF TIIF DAY OF THE HAMBURGII
131.1Itc;LIER GUARD.
When two, months ago the fairest prospects.
led us to the greatest exertions, it appeared the
period for relieving the inhabitants ot llamburg,h •
from an irresistible tyranny.
Almost without arms and unprepared, they of-
fered to the cities of Germany the most noble ex-
ample of unwearied perseverance in the severest
duty, of the most determined courage in the de-
fence of their borders.
The blood ot our•fellow-citizens has not been
- shed ingloriously for the common cause of our
German countrymen, and for the. independence of
our beloved native city. •
When the enemy continued• to, advance, and at
length, after having obtained possession of. Wil-
belmsburg, was enabled at any moment to take
the city by assault, we may attribute it to the
active co-operation of our fellow-citizens that the
troops of his Majesty the Emperor ot Russia did.
not give way to superior force.
The events of the war now call the Russian
army to more decisive meastftes.
A dark concatenation of impenetrable misun-
derstandings cotiipels the sons of the North, who
• were destined to our assistartoe, to witness our •
fate, if riot with indifference,-at least without do-
ing any thing to avert it.
Thus is the City of Hamburgb, surrounded
eneanies, thrown hack upon her soon efforts.
41. e• recinest of my fellow-citi-
zens, and oy the deterrtonu,..... s, its. I
standat the head Of the ,Burgher Guard.
ted-' the repose of my former life, beause I
thought to be of use in a moment nf'desponding
• tope to a city with whose happiness My own vas
so:closely interwoven.
.liad I followed the dictate's of personal feeling,
I. should have preferred death with my brethren
to -return to this embittered repose.
But with the faint dawn which still opens to the
future,
.1 dare not wantonly expose the lives -of
those invaluable men who are entrnsted to my
care. 'While, therefore, with the deepest, emo-
tion, I absolve you from the duties you have as,,
sumcd, I have only to require of you to reserve
for other times a lively ,feeling of hatred towards
the despotism which again threatens our desolated
city, and to remove your persons to the most
suitable places to await the moment, now at no
great distance, which shall destroy the delusion
of tyranny,- that the citizens of Ilamhttrgh may be
the• first to rouse, and return with.honour to their
restored country.

AMERICAN PAPERS.

BALTIMORTI, APRIL 15.—Captain Cram',le, in
his boat, left West River yesterday. When he
got into the Bay, lie found the seven sail close
astern, and as they outsailed him, he' had to use
his sweep 4. The last he saw of the British, they
were under sail, so it was uncertain to him whe-
ther they intended tocome to off Annapolis, or
proceed higher tip the Bay.
FREDELICI“BURG, APRIL 14.—The enemy's
squadron, rhiell we find is connhandcd by Ad-
miral Warren in person, has left our \Bay, and
Proceeded up the river. Several plundering par-
ties are said to have landed from the enemy's
squadron on the 4th and sth, in the countries of
Matthews, .Middlesex, and Lancaster.

Me.SSI'. BARING, ANGERSTEIN, .IhTTYE, and
others, offering to take It on the smile terms, were,
of course, united in the contract. The whole
sum, amounting to Tiventy-seven ,millions sterling,
viz., 21 millions for E: gland and 6 millions for ,
IrOand, has thus been obtained on terms at once'
favourable to the bidders, and advantageous to
the public.. No additional taxes are to be
imposed in order to provide fur the interest of,
this immense stun ; and we congratulate our
country on seeing an amount so great, produced
with so much facility, evincing the eonfidence of
the Monied interests in .the Government ; .proving
to demonstration the inexhaustible means and
resources of Britain-7. and telling our foes,
in language not to be misunderstOod, that we,
are prepared to carry on the contest unite ad
'interneeionem, till every demand upon us; jucon
sistent with our rights and securities, as a people,
is abandoned, and the world is . restored to peace
upon stable and honourable conditionS.

Messrs. ROBARTS, CURTIS SC CO. deClined
bid-
di on account of the vast magnitude of the
Loan, which„ at One o'clock, bore a pre-
mimn of One per Cent. and we have no,
doubt, will rise considerably before the stocks
close. he interest paid by the public is nut far
from the Icp;at sum of 5 per cent. We learn that
Onmium has risen to 3.1 per cent.

The only further matter we have this day to lay
before our Readers from the Heligoland Mail,
the' contents of -which we communicated. yes-
terday, is the admirable Prochimation of the
late Governor of Hautburgh,. VON thsse. It
will be read with feelings of the most lively interest',
and is a production equally honourable to the
head and heart, of its gallot and patriotic
writer. The French seem very insecure of their
tenure in this,eity, and have set about building a
bridge to Wilhclmsberg, by which they may (if
needful) escape themselves, and carry off the ca-
ricatures, &c. they may have time and the good
fortune to seize.
.The enemy have about 7000 men in the place,
and up to the 2:1 had abstained from cruelty and
oppression beyond exacting a contribution of
600,000, which could not be paid.

We Marc, in common with, tither :',jOuriuds,
co-
pied the various paragraphs in circulation respect-
ing the formation and meeting Of OUANGF,
LODGES in this
,country, And given tltctu with-
mit comment to . the public., As' the subject is,
however, through the medium of the press, likely
to give rise to some discossion, andreNeite consi-
derable sensation in the Country, we deem it our—
duty thus early to submit our 'opinions pion it
Id the tribunal of the general judgment. In do-
ing this, we trust we shall avoid the flattering_
unction laid upon the measure on the one -hand,
and escape front the rancorous asperity with which
it is assailed on the other. - And we arc, at least
for the present, more inclined to steer this-middle -
and tend crate course, because wedo not know that
one of the writers who have employed their pens in
eulogy or in vilification, are acquainted with the
nature and scope of the Institution they thus pre-
sume to vindicate or condemn. Sure we are, that
the public, generally, are in utter ignorance of the
.precise grounds on which the association has been
formed ; of the - code by which' their proceed-
ings are to be re:rulated, and of' the object
they have in view by tints combining together,
The name Is indeed a eine to the princyle
on which it is establis!led, and the high honour,
worth, and respectability. of some of the persons
who have been mentioned as members, induces a
belief,. a priori, that' it can hive nothing in con-
. templation but what is for; the benefit of the
. country. •

ButstilLihename is one of angry contention in
the sister island—the sign and symbol of a party
(a party most loyal, constitutional, and excel.;
lent) .which has been engaged in scenes of con-
tention with another party till much human blood
has been spilled in the contest—it iMports, there-
fore,. to a carotin portion of the ciimturinity; a de-
gree of virulence, of Which we c,.an neverapprove,
an.l becomes associated in.the.mind with the ideas
of murder, civil war, :and rebellion, of which we
would much rather that the traces Were last than
revived. Now,m Ireland, associations were ren-
dered necessary, for' the great purposes of self pre-
servation, and of defence againSt confederations

no .such cause exists for entering into bonds of
