PAPERS.

We h'ave made fbe follo,ving further extracts
froth the last- French Papers :
ALToxa;.•MAY 7.—The Danish corps which is
to occupy the right bank of ,the Elbe, under the
command of General Ewald, has already arrived
in our neighbourhood. These troops are in ex-
cOlent condition, and amount to 15,000 men. An
finglislq flotilla cruizes at the Mouth of the Elbe,
but dare no. attempt. entering that river; fir fear
of exposing itself to the fire of our gun-boats,
hich are 'placed there,

I-ssriucx, MAY 10.---The greatest activity is
now employed in repairing our bridge upon the
The.greater part of,the young men in our
Circle hAe, a:ready departed to join the corps to
which they are destinvi. The drawing for the
conscription has concluded.
VIENNA, MAY 11.—Several Couriers from Ga-
lacia and the Turkish frontiers have lately ar-
rived.

CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL _ .—Letters , from
Smyrna confirm the news of the defeat of Jessum
Pacha by the Wahabees. He lost , near Medina
thousand men, .ankretired in disorder to, the
banks of the Red Sea, where he is waiting
,the
reinforcements and provisions which his father,
the Pacha of Egypt, is to send him: All accounts
agree in'saying, that Jessmn Pacha has to deal
with an active and dangerous enemy.

HAMBURGH, MAY 12.—Grain is now so abun-
dant, -notwithstanding the considerable quantity
our town has sent to Holland, that we are in a
condition,' considering the amount of our pro-
visions, to send much more to the _ markets of
Amsterdam and those of the interior.
NUREMBERG, MAY 11.—The Marshal of the
Eswire, the Duke of Dantzic, after passing eight
days here, set out for the Banks of the Oder. •

BANKS of THE MAINE, MAY 16.—The General
Administration of Customs for the Grand Duchy
of Berg, has jUst written to all those employed
under them, not to continue exacting the rights
of the. tarif of August 5, 1810, upon goods or
prance which have paid the French custom or
proceed from the sales. • •

A letter, of which the following is a copy, was
received in town by 'the last .Anholt Mail. Its
contents are of some interest :

" Gottenburgb, May 18, 1812.

" It would-seem that things arc not so near a sa-
tisfactory adjustment as could be wished ; this
c untry appears actuated by motives of self-inte-'
rest only—subsidies from yOur-Side, and assistance
in troops from Russia, are exacted, and the object
is the reduction of Norway. In how far your
Government may consider such an aggrandise-
ment on the part of. Sweden compatible with their
ultiMate security, pr more immediate interests,
you will be able to, learn; but to grant subsidies
Dierely for' the purpose of enabling Sweden to ex-
I.end her territory, without any obligation on their
part to take a share in the operations- againt
France, in favour of the common interests of Eu-
rope, is certainly more than we can reasonably
expect.
The second convoy from the Nore is safely ar-
rived, and Sir James intends to Send it on by an
early opportunity. I understand from him, that
Swedish ships will be permitted, and are now to
navigate from this country to any ports not, in
possession of the. French in the Battic, and to
tra'e, unmolested, betwixt the opposite coast,
in any articles permitted by law, without the ne-
cessity of having licenses. Russian ships also
will be permitted to trade in the same manner,
without molestation." ,

The Captain of one of the vessels (the German,
Planter) captured by, the .French squadron is ar-
rived in town, and states, thatthe French Officers
allowed him to retain all his private property of
every denomination, and, in every other respect,
behaVed, to him and all the British seamen with
particular. kindness and attention. The Masters
'a,;;l Officers of such ships were ,not made ,to en-
diire any kind of imprisonment, but were daily
admitted to mess at the table of the Frenchmen,
whilst those who had been taken out of the
American ships were compelled to wear,irons on
their limbs, and in that state were locked into the
usual loathsome places of confinement, and com-
pelled to live on bread and water.

An improvement, in the soldier's firelock ha.s
been submitted to the consideration of the Coin-
'pander in Chief.: the bayonet, which in all con-;
ilicts.with-the French, has decided the contest, is
proposed to be lengthened, and when unfixed, to
be attached to the buttend of the piece.

trian, who Unflertook,-for a stake of five hundred
pineas, to perform the thousand .miles, at a mile
