DUTCH PAPER.

• BREMEN, JAN. 19—Tbe iinportant fortress of
Wittenberg basket) compelled to surfendef. The
official inp..-14igence of this event from Cristrigttin.-.._
tier date of the 13th inst. is to the' foll Owing ef-
fect 7- . • - ,

Last night; Wittenberg was taken by storM.
Thetrenches were opened 20th Dec. and it is only
through the unexampled activity and perseverance
of the troops that the General of Infantry, COunt
•Tanenzien had been able to. succeed, at: this sea-
son of the year, in completing the breaching:bat-
tet v'on the instant. The same day, at noon,
the GoVernor' was summoned, tilt his ansWer not
being .satisfactory, preparations were 'Made for
the assault, and by twelve o'clock at night we
were masters of the town the, obstacles of
;walls, palisadoes, haviitg been surmounted
by the valour of-• the troops.• The Governor' hat!
fortified .the castle, the town-house, n-nd some
other buildings, with the intention of defending
hiptseif but the to wn-house was no soOner attack-
ed than it fell into our hati,ls, and 17 officers, with
several hundred privates, were made prisoners ..The
immediate attack of the castle was delayed•from a
reluctance to expose unnecessarily the lives of our
brave soldiers,:should the French be inclined to
,make any stand there. On this account the Go-
veenor was again Gutomonea under the threat of
putting the garrison to the sword ; upon which he
surrendered, at discretion. Oprfoss'is inconsider-
able ; it may emount to seven or eight officers
and about 100 privates killed and wounded.
We expect further particulars. The attack was
'shade in four cOliimns, andall succeeded it reach-
ing thei/ respective •points of 'destination. The
number ofprisimers we .have. not yet learnt, but
all of them will be sent off to Berlin."
We have received official intelligence that peace
was concluded at half-past three o'clock on the
morning of the 15th, between the Allies and the
hint; of Denmark. The conditions, which are
alreadYknown, are the cession of the whole of
Norway to Sweden, for which Denmark receives
Pomerania, and an indemnification in money
and also that she shall furnish from 10 to 15,000
men to act against France, under General Count
Von Winzingerode. This event, it is probable,
t ill speeilily decide the fate of 'Hainburgh. On
the 18th there was asortie, in which the French
were severely beaten. The Cossacks drove them
out of Harvesthude, on which 'occasion
.several
houses were burnt. The river is not yet wholly
frozen over, 'a circumstance which the French
greatly dread; and therefore keep the citizens
(hs.ily employed in breaking the ice on. the Buiten
Alstee. . .
'rite Cossacks having appeared. in the environs,
several of the oppressed .burghers were killed by
the fire from the walls of the city. UOOll a more

minute inquiry, it appears that the returcs of the
6tock onion!. on hand bad over-rated the quantity
by from 10 to 12,000 quintals. This discovery has
greatly enraged the Prince of Eckmuhl, who has
ordered the bakers, under pain of capital puniTit-,
;tient, to make good the • deficiency within six
clays,—a task whiCh will not be easily performed,
as no supplies can be obtained from without, the
city being completely invested, and the Cossacks
being in posiession of Altoita. Dantzic was eva-
cuated on the-2d instant, conformably tothe
tidies of Capitulation ; and the same day Duke
Alexander of Wirtemberg entered the place at the
head of 16,000 Russians and Prussians, • amid the
inexpressible rejoicings of the inhabitants.—
"Thanksgivings were offered up according to the
Greek-ritual in St. John's church, and 7'e Deem
was solemnly performed in 'the Cathedral. The
French laid down their arms, 'and remained pri-
soners of war. •
ARNITEIM, JAN. 21 -is this day reported,
that General Bulow has established head-
quarters-at Brussels', and effected his junction with
the troops of General Blucher, in consequence of
which the Duke of Tarentum, with his whole
corps, is cut off. -It is also rumoured, that Lux- .
emburgh is in the possession of the Allies. The
Westphalian Landwehr are still quartered in this
place, and are daily' exercised in the use of arms.
All is quiet- at Deventer for the present. Nest
week, a detachment of the Laudstruin of this dis-
trict wit themselves in march, to reinforce
theoblockadinrf corps. • .

BREDA, JAN.
Prince left this place yesterday morning fdr the
Hague, and returned this afternoon; accompanied
by-his brothel% We !earn, from good authority,
that the Duke of Saxe Weymar. has crossed the
Rhine at Dusseldorf, with a considerable body of
Saxons, and is marching upon Brabant. A tra-
veller, who is arrived from Paris, informs us, that
between 'that city and Breda he saw no other
troops but 2,000 of the old guards who hare been
summoned from all parts of the empire for the pro-
tection of the Emperor's person. A hundred
pieces of heavy artillery are expected here this
day front Oasterhout and, Terheidcn. They will
probably not remain, long with us, but be for-
warded to Brabant:. This day also arrived here
a Prussian battalion, eon:listing of 8001:len.
We hear that the head-quarters of the Allies
are breaking up for Brussels, intending to pot-
pone any active operations. against Antwerp till a
future period. It is also reported that Bois-le-
Due has been taken by crossing the ice.
AD/LITE/WM.', JAN. 20.—0 n the 9th, an Adim-
tant-General was sent with a flag 'of trace : to sum-
mon Naarden, but was refused admittance Soon
after all the troops, composing the bldckading-
,
corps, moved forward, and a number of shot and
shells were fired upon the toWii., The-troops dis-
played great intrepidity, and though exposed to
the fire of the place for two hours had not a man
killed or wounded. The bombardment is expLet-
.ed to he renewed with.the best success.

ROTTERDAM; JAN. 25.—0 n Saturday a heavy
cannonade was kept up from the Slewvk bat-
tery upon, Gorinchew ; during which the Prns-
sians, on the side of Dalem, carried the buttery of
Sleuyzen, being tbe.cmly post which. the French
occupied outside; the fortress. The garrison,
io the pearl tilne, attempted a diversion by
sorrie on the side of Schelluinen, but were
;repulsed at that point by the Prussians. Our
troops being; provided with ice spurs and ladders,
the French; to increase the difficulty of scaling,
compel the, Burghers to keep the ditches open,

and to throw water incessantly on the walls,—His
Royal- Hiubness_ the Puke- of Ciarence arrived at
Tholen on the 19th ;-the garrison paraded under
arms to receive him, and in the evening there vas
a general illumination.
rite‘tertFintr, JAN. 10.--The German Princes
who
.belonged to: the dissolved Confederation of
the Rhine, besides furnishing their several con-
tingents to the grand skied army, have entered
ipto an agreement' by which they are to co-ope,
rate with.their credit injointly bearing 'the ex-
peaces of the war; and this credit is to equal the
amount of the grogS revenue of their:, respective
states for one year, %Adria revenue is to be ascer-
tained from knowing statistic documents. The
whole Of those credits are to form one general
obligation-bond, the management of which is to he
entrusted to Commissioners appointed by thefligh
Allied Powers. This general bOnd is to be di-
vided into smaller hoe.is of 5000, 2000, and 1000
crowns each, reaching -as low' as 50 crowns,
to be issued for defraying the expenses of the war,
and payable to bearer ; ahso bearing interest at
the rate of 6 per cent. and for security signed by
the names of the CorrimisSioners. The payment
of these bonds is to be.secured- on the re%enues of
all toe domains of the Princes, and is to take
place every three months at 24 distinct periods,
The whole, therefore, will be paid off in six years,
but- only in such a way that the payment of the
first series shall. take piece on the lit of March,
1815, *and Of the laSt on the Ist of lilarelt, 1821.
The Princes also bind themselves, on a peace, to
provide for the effectual-payment- of the debt, in
a separ4te article of the. treaty.
The Gth article of the engagement is as follows :
—" All the said' bonds; or obligations, are to be
divided in the proportion of 5-16tiis and 1-16th
between Russia; .Anstria; Prussia, and -Sweden,
so that-each of the three first shall receive 5-.,1 hs,
and the laSt -46th. Hanover accedes to _the
plan, but in such way that the obligations, or
bonds, which she cant ribrit es as her share, remy
be applied to her omen account. Tire same is to
take place in regard to Bavaria and Wurtern-
berg."

liy other• articles, the High Allied Powers hind
themselves to appropriate the said obligations to
those payments' alone, to "which. they are .bound
by this agreement., They are also to appoint a
Committee, who may watch dvl,r the prompfsoh-
servation of the terms of repayment on.the part
of the Princes late of the Confederation ; and all
the obligations when paid are to be destroyed by
the Cannmittee, and the sums and numbers made
publicly known:.

THE HAGUE, JAN. 25.—Necording to of icial.
accounts from Basle of the 14t1i,: the passage 'of
Bussitin, Prussian, and other allied troops through
-that City still continued. The most of them ad-
vanced in the direct'ion Of Vesoul, -where Prince
SchwaKtzenberg had his head-quarters ,on the
10th, while his advance under General Gitday had
Already reached Langres. On the lt;ft of the
Commander in Chief, General
_Bubna, who was
to proceed towards Lyons, had his head-quarters
on the Bth at Dole, and Besancon was surrinanded
by a considerable force under Prince Lichtenstein.
On the tight wing were operating the Bavarians
and Wurternburghers, under the command of the
Crown Prince cut Wartemberg, who,. combined
with the Cossacks of the Iletman Platoff, had
routed and driven back the enemy in a warm af-
fair.between Epinal and Nancy.
All these movements were in combination with
those-of the Silesian army, which on the 15th or
16th was expected before Metz. Lower down
the Rhine affairs wear a not less TavOurable
aspect ; fur, according- to credible,' though not
official accounts, Marshal Macdonald, on learning
the approach of the corps of Winzingerode, and
its passage of the Rhine at Dusseldorf, threw One
part of his troops into Arenlo, and another into
Maastricht, while -he' hims.elf, with his general
stall', retired*to the confines of,old France. With
the exception, therefore, of these fortresses, the
whole country, between the Rhine and the Maesc
may he considered as liberated ; General Clwr-
nitchelf, according to the latest accounts, having
already actually entered Liege.
