SEVENTY-SIX-CH BULLETIN.

PIticKENSTEIN, MAY 20.—A fine English. cor-
vette, copper-sheathed, having 120 English for her
crew, afid, laden with powder and ball, presented:
herself off Dantzic, with an intention to enter that
port. On approaching near our works, she was at
tacked from both the shores with a heavy shower of
musketry, and forced to surrender. A piquet of the
regiment of Paris was the first to leap on board.
An Aid-de-Camp of General KA.Lx.riEuTH, who was
on his return from the Russian head-quarters, and
several English Officers, were taken on board the
vessel. She is called the Undaunted, and had ,t3O
Russians gn board., besides the 120 English:

The Enemy's loss in the affair of Weichsel
munde, on the tth, wag greater than was at first
supposed. A 'Russian column, which held out to
the last, was put to the bayonet to a man. There
were 1300 Russians buried.

On the 16th, a Russian division of GOOO men,
tinder General TURICOW; advanced from • BrOti
to the Bug, and towards Pultusk, .with a view to
prevent the execution of some ne* works for
strengthening the ttte-du-poet. These works were
defended by six Bavarian battalions, under the' corn-
'nand of the Crown-Prince in person. The Enemy
advanced four times to the attack, and were four
times repulsed by the Bavarians, and covered with
grape-shot from the batteries of the different works.
Marshal MASSENA estimates the Enemy's loss at 300
killed, and twice as many wounded. And what
renders the conflict still more glorious is, that the
Bavarians were not quite 4000 strong. The C,rown-
Prince commends, in particular, the Bavarian Ge-
neral WREDE, art OtHcer of conspicuous merit.
The loss of the Bavarians amounted to 15 killed,
and t5O wounded.

" The same mismanagement as in the attack of
the iCith, at Pultusk, was displayed in that which
the enemy made on the 13th, against the works of
General LEMARROIS ; nor was their want of judg-
ment less conspicuous in the preparation of a great
number of rafts, which the enemy were pieparing,
on the Bug for these. six weeks past. The result
was,, that those rafts which took them so long in
preparation, were burnt in two hours time and that
those repeated attacks upon works well contrived,
and defended by strong batteries, without a chance
of success, have produced them a considerable loss.
We are almost induced to` think, that the purport of
these attacks, was to draw the attention bf—the
French army to their right wing. But the pOsiti-on
of the army was calculated, by anticipation, for
every ease, and for all chances of attack and defence.

" Tu the mean, while, the important siege of
Dantzic• is continued. The loss of that important
fortress, and of the-20,000 men shut up within the
same, will be severely felt by the enemy. A mine,
which was contrived near the outer bastion, had the
etre& of blowing it up. A communication has been
opened with the covered way by four entrances, and
we are employed in filling up the ditch.
" This day the Emperor reviewed the gth Provi-
sional Regiment. The first eight of those Regi-
ments have already been embodied. The Genoese
Conscripts among those Regiments are much ex-
tolled for the readiness and zeal displayed by them."

TURKISH FRONTIERS, MAY 7.—On the 16th of
April a blOody affair took place in the neighbourhood
of ',:fladowa, between the troops of the Servian Ge- '
neral MELENKO STOW., and ICUSANZI ALL The
'Servians surrounded the Turkish entrenchments;
,he latter made three vigorous attempts to break the
Servian lines, but without effe6t. At length, how-
ever, the left 'wing of the Turks forced and defeated
one column of the Servians, and made good their
retreat from Timok to Widdin, though pursAed by
the enemy's cavalry. The right wing gained Gla-
dowa, where they are inclosed. The Turks lost.'
•
3000 men killed and Wounded.

Subsequent advices state, that on the epth of
April, KUSANZI Ati attempted to disengage himself,
but without the least effect• He renewed his at-
tempt on the 23d, but was vigc,fiusly repulsed. •

EXTRACT OP A LETTER.

" BANKS OF TOE ELBE, MAY 30.—YOU will
see in the Papers of yesterday; that the fate of Dant-
, zic is drawing to a close. The fall of that forttess
will probably be the signal for offensive operations'
on the part. of. the French.. There are persons who
believe that this event would rather accelerate nego-
ciations, than precipitate a general engagement. In
spite of contradiaory, assertions ill ,our Prints, in the
farm of letters from Austria, is ascertained at
length, that the Court of Vienna haSa&ually propos-
ed a general Congress, and that the Court ,of St.
James's has been invited to send a Plenipotentiary
hither. But itis-much. doubted whether, should a
Congress even .take place, it will have any results
whatever. We are, too well acquainted with
f.YRTE'S charmer, to -,suPpose be will suspend his
operations for a morner:t during the Congress, should
it be his interest to proc,eed; and-we trust the Allies
will be persuaded, that any syniptom of a disposi-
tion on his part to halt in his career, will be a proof
that it is their interest to urge him to a quick deci-
sion. Our hopes and our fears of peace are equally
faint.

" In the mean while, the important post of Stral-
sund continues to receive reinforcements. Letters
of the,..nd, announce the debarkation of 5000 Pfas—
sians ; and add, that the Prussian soldiers, who had
joined. the Dutch'army, desert thither in crowds.
'On the 19th;. there Arrived 157 with arms ; but
it is' still not ascertained whether or not the Armis-
tice remains in full vigour. We have not beard
of any notice, having been given of a resumption.
of Hostilities ; nor has any Declaration on the
part of Sweden been made public, concerning the
supplementary clause 'extending the Armistice to

BOLA'S QUIS DICERS- rAtsum AUD-xxr ?

L 0 1V D 0 N,
SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1.307.

AT a very early hour this morning . Paris and
Dutch Papers. arrived, the former to thO Opth ult.
and the latter to the 3d inst. They contain the 74th,
75th, and 76th Bulletins of the French Army. The
date of the last Bulletin is the Loth of May, conse-
quently they do not contain any account of the
surrender, of Dantzic; they merely give, the details
of a number of skirmishes between the advanced
posts, which the French have magnified into serious •
anions, and in all of which they of course claim
the advantage. The obje& of the Russians, in
making. these-attacks, was not with an intention of
bringing on a general a&ion, but merely to alarm
the Enemy, and to facilitate the efforts that were
making to throw some succours into Dantzic.
It appears from the French Bulletin that one of
our Praams, the Dauntless, was taken by the French
in making a gallant attempt to pass their batteries,
in order to tiirow into Dantzic a quantity of An'-
munition, of which the Garrison was in the greatest
want. She was commanded by Capt. STRACHEY.

, There is little doubt of the success of Sir EDWARD
PELLEW'S attack on the Shipping in the Bay of
Batavia; and it is equally probable, that having
heard of Admiral HARTSINCK'S SpaCll^oll - to
Eastward of Java, he proceeded in quest of it, and
the result of the meeting may be easily anticipated.

AN express' arrived in town this morning from
Yorkshire, with an account of Mr. WiLßEtironcs
and Lord MILTON haviug' been returned Members
for that County. Mr. LAscELLES, we Understand,
declined ou Thursday night.

`Thu ,Morning Paper that has so illiberally at-
tacked
Mr. WA RD on "account of the.peitsion which.
W 39 settled on him when he retired from office, has •
very wisely forbore to take any notice of what we
stated respeEting the pension which Lord GREW'
. VILLE procured fox the late Mr. FISHER, who had
. .
been only a few months in office. This silence on'
the part of the Paper in question is a proof of its cun-
ning; but what must be thought of its candour, when
it perseveres in its rancorous attacks upon Mr.,Waas
upon the very same grounds on which it is 'discreet.
ITsilent respeling Mr. Fisiign A But Loid Mut-
GRAVE, too, is to be the object of party malevolence,
because he was instrumental in procur ugthe,pension
for Mr. WARD. We again remind theM that Lord
GRENvitax did the same for Mr. FISHER, and if
they return to the attack upon Lord MULGRAVE, it
will become them to, say something about Lord'
GRENVILLE. Bar our part, we do not censure Lord
GaviviLLE, for ,his londuEt on the occasion, but WG -
think that Lord MULGRAVE is more entitled 01:
'praise,: as he had originally introduced a Gentleman.
into office. whose talents are far superior to those
which Mr. FISHER posiessed, and who has no fault
in the estimation. even of his political adversaries but
what arises from his ability to serve the public.

Yesterday being the Anniversary of his Ropti ,
• Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND'S Birth-day; •
it was observed with every token of loyalty among
his Royal Highness's Trades-people, at Vie West
end of-the town, who exhibited several beautiful
illuminations at night on the occasion.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess 'of YOWK 'Wore
at Court, on the Birth-day, a. very elegant pair of •
white silk shoes. richly embroidered all over with
.silver spangles, and trimmed with, spangles; the ro-
settes were•likewise of silver. •

The following Ladies exhibited bandeaus of ostrich
feathers at Court On Thursday :—Duchess of YORK,
the Princesses AUGUSTA, ELIZABETH, SOFIA A, MARY,
AMELIA ; Duchesses of LEEDS, RUTLAND, and Moly-
TROSE; Countesses of ELY 'and EUSTON; Ladies
HARRINGTON, BERKELEY; RADSTOCK, eC.- :MssCOURTENAY'S plume was uncommonly elegant. and
entirely original.
The Hon. Miss DRUMMOND, of the House of
PERTH, wore on His Majesty's Birth-day a diamond
necklace•and ear-rings, the most brilliant of the
kind displayed on that occasion. The valueof both
these articles is estimated at upVvards of 25,0001.
Intelligence was received in town this day; _of the
sudden death of Sir HARRY VANE TEMPEST; S.
Gentleman well known in the fashionable world,
and who was recently returned a Member for the
County of Durham.

YORKSHIRE ELECTION.

[FROM A CORNESPONDENT.]

Lord MILTON has now been. for three days ad-
vancing on ,Mr. LkscELLEs, and having attained a
majority over him of 52; it is expeded
,that Lord
MILTON will carry his eledion.
At the cloSe of the. Poll oil Wednesday Lord MIL;
TON congratulated the Freeholders, that the County of
York was f9und " to adwhenever the Constitution
was in danger ; ' and observed, " that if the people
failed to watch the Ministry, we might soon become
the subjects of a profligate King, and of a corrupt
and Weak Ministry." His Lordship then alluded to
the reigns of Charles 11. and Jaws IL He com-
plained of his antagonists having made use of the
sacred name. of'the King, and of the Arms of Eng-
land; as ' a watch-word to a Party ; and observed;
that he was good a friend both to the King and
the balance of the Constitution, as his .competitors.
' Mr. LA SCE LLEs observed, that his friends appeared
to have given offence to his Lordship, merely by using I.
in their hatS a name and a device, which, he believed,
were very Commonly assumed at 'Eledions, and often
perhaps, with too little meaning. He now begged the
attention of the Eledors to a prophecy which he
would'ventuft to make. His ill Success resulted froM
a dislike to him on the part of the great body of the
Clothiers.. He had done his ditty with respell to
the Clothiers' Bill, and could confidently appeal tp
them as having done it. He prophecied that this
prejudice would soon subside, and that it would
then appear to them,. that he suffered in the minds
of the Clothiers from the circumstance of some men
having wished to deliver themselves from unpopu-
larity with the inferior Clothiers, by throwing the
blame on their Member.

Sir R. HILLYARD made an apology 'for the ab-
sence of Mr. WILBERFORCE, on account of a slight
indisposition.
We have already briefly adverted to the subjeet of.
the Clothiers' Bill, on which the Yorkshire Election
appears likely to.turn, as Mr. LASCELLES intimated.
A few more, words of explanation seem now, how-
ever, to be necessary. A contest has, for some
subsisted between the small independent Ma.,
'nufa6turers of- cloth, who area most numerous
body, and 'a- few great master manufaCiurtrs, who
have begun to introduce, on a very large scale,
a • new system of workmanship. The small inde-
pendent men have wished to, enforce some obso-'
lete laws,` rending to enforce apprenticeship, .and
leave even pthposed to limit the number of looms'
in Yorkshire. . The West of England. was first
in sa ferment, and the North caught the: infec-
tion. The Yorkshire croppers (or finishers). have
at the same time taken the opportunity .to urge the
abolition of gig-mills. In short, the question has
been the old one respecting the 'prohibition of im-
provements. A very able Report of a Committee
of the House of Commons has been made on
this subjeCt, to which Mr. LASCELLES, as well,
indeed, as Mr. WiLissaloacE, was a party, and
,which- is in. favour of the great manufaCturers ;
and a Bill,- in. pursuance of the Report, was pre;
pared when the late Parliament was dissolved,
in 'perfeCt accordance; as we have understood,
with: the sentiments of Mr. FAWKES. The same
Bill will doubtlesS be revived in the present
Parliament, and under the auspices, we presume, of
the two new Members for Yorkshire; whoever they
May be. Both Mr.WiLßEavolice and MroLAseeLLEs
have suffered from this measure,. though cihiefty Mr.
L. who declined standing for Yorkshire about.a year
ago, in cohsequellce chiefly of the strength of the
Clothiers' prejudice: Lord MILTON has not clearly
declared himself on this topic, but he has certainly
gained some thousand votes by the violent hostility'to
' Mr. LASCELLES, of the great populous distrkts of
Leeds,. Halifax, Bradford, &c: from which quarter
almost the whole of Lord MILTON'S majority during
the last. three days has proceeded.

CATALANI..-"The engagement with tliii great

Performer for next Season, at the Opera-House, is
at length finally adjusted. She is to have '5OOO
guineas and two Benefits, one of which is, by
.guarantee, to amount to 1000' guineas. These are
high terms, but if her talents'are so attratlive as to
fill that great Theatre every nightiwho can be more
justly entitled to an ample share of the profits than
the person whose exertions•prOcure them ?

• _ ,
The Opera of Fontaintleau was represented last
night, at Covent Garden'Theatre, for the benefit of
Miss Bourow. At the end of the Opera Mils Box.-
TON assumed the part of Eloisa, at the tomb of
Abdard, and sung an Air appropriate to the occasion
with considerable effect. The house was well at-
tended.

• • Mrs. LITCHFIELD has not wholly retired from the
~stage,.as reported, but hos engaged to perform in the
approaching season, at the Haymarket Theatre.

On Sunday se'nnight Major ANDERSOZi and his
Lady, Miss PEMBERTON, their niece, and a draughts-
man of Newcastle, sailed from Shields,on a voyage
of observation to Iceland, to return by the Urkwy
and Shetland Islands.

We have been favoured with.the perusal of a let-
ter from an Officer of rank at Monte Video, from'
which, we learn the 'important faa,of the people-of
Buenos Ayres having declared thernselves,- an Inde-
pendent Nation. Upon this subjea. we. shall here-
after have much to say ; for the, present, the fa&s
themselves must prbve' more acceptable to the public'.
They, are as follow !..• T• , • ,

MONTE Mancit t 6,-- An event of
the ~most extraordinary nature •-has just come to
our' knowledge, Whiah is, that the ' people of
Buenos 'Ayres; with a • Frenchman of the name
of Liniers at their head, have declared themselves
an Independent Nation, like' NOrth America. In
answer to a flag of truce, they say, that if we sup-
port diem in this obje&; they - will receive us with
open arms, as their deliverers; but, on the contrary,
if WC want to make the country a colony to Great
Britain, they will contest it to the last inch. In the
mean time,- we are obliged to content ourselves with
remaining -as we'are, as Our General wisely conceives
his -force too. small to divide, by leaving a garrison
here, and with the remainder to attack Buenos
Ayres ; he therefore * has determined to wait rein=
forcenients, Or perhaps; as theyare quarreling among
themselves, we may at last be called in to.- settle the
dispute. I have been with the General fifty miles up
the Country, which is one continued flat, as we -are
told, of five hundred leagues, without even a hill.
It is thinly inhabited, and those poor and wretched
in the extreme, owing to, the narrow policy and
of the Spaniards. They 'are,, as you
'know from what hai been written of the Country,
of a darkeopper 'colour, with remarkably long black
-hair-; -but, I think-, the finest muscular made men I
ever beheld in general they are very tall. 4 think
-the women extremely handsome : they live, to be
sure, in the greatest filth. I do-not exaggerate when
I tell you the price clan ox is a dollar, and of a ve-
ry good horse front two to five. :With both these
animals the whOle face of the country, for miles, is
covered. •

" What a momentous moment is this for its in-
habitants !, Har,ging in uncertainty, whether their
former chains are to be new rivetted, or whether
they shall become an appendage to Great Britain,
or, finally, whether they shall be an-independent
country."

We yesterday mentioned that Mr. COLCLOUGH
bad been killed in a Duel ; the following are some
'of the particulars of that unfbrtunate affair
DUBLIN, JUNE I.—We are concerned to state,
that on Saturday last, at 2 o'clock, a meeting took
plaCe near Wexford, between Mr. lit.coch. and Mr.
COLCLOUGH, Candidates forthat County, when, On
'the first fire, the latter received: a shot through the
heart, which instantly deprived him of existence.—
The origin of this fatal disPute, we understand, was
'in consequence of the deceased procuring the tenants
of a Lady, Who, supported the interest of Mr.
cocx, to vote against him. We trust that the mat-.
:ter may rest here, and that this most awful circum-
Stance may restrain the unbridled impetuosity with
which electioneering contests are commonly pursued,
and that, guided by 'moderation, each party may
have the good sense to let this fatal ad stand alone:
and unimitated hereafter.

On the preceding Thursday evening, a meeting
took place on the Strand, at Ferrybank, near Wex-
ford, betweell M. M'C6RD, Esq. of Ross, the part-
ner of Mr. CoLciotron; in a Bank at New Ross,
and S. LOGUAY, of the same place. The parties tired
two shots• each, and on the second fire Mr. [AMWAY
was wounded in the groin. The duel, no doubt, ori-
ginated in the same cause and motives.

The following is in Extract ' of a.Letter from
Rear• Admiral STIRLING, dated Diadem, off Monte
Video, Bth March, to Wm. MARSDEN, Esq. Admi-
ralty, transmitted to Lloyd's ; . . . .

" I understand from Buenos Ayres, that five English Ships
have got in since the re.'cal►ture ; and I. am of opinion, the

Yesterday a Gentleman residing in one of the
Most fashionable
.streets at the West end of the town
put a period to his existence, by lodging the con-
tents of a pistol in his head. Pecuniary embarrass-
ment is supposed to have occasioned this rash aetion.
On Thursday night, at nine o'clock, a man,gen-
teellydresSed, crossing Piccadilly; was stru4 down ,
by a coach driving furiously; and on being carried into .
Grainge's, thg Confectioner, died soon after he was •
taP.en up stairs: Thecoachman escaped with very little
observation of: the speaators that can lead to a dis-
-covery. All that was observed was, Oat he had white
livery, three lamps'in front of the carriage, and two
females in it, apparently servants. The Gentleman
proves to be a Mr, LOVEN E4L, who possessed a con-
siderable property. ,
