►ldest son of his Rbyal Highnes Prince William,
brother to the King, died in the night between the
9th and 10th.
DANTZIC, JANUARY 17.

Tilt following Order of the Day has been ptib-
lished here:—

4, A report was yesterday circulated on the Ex-
change; that a Council had been held at the Govea nor
General's, in which it was debated; whether the for,
tifications of Dantzic should be blown up ? Such re-
ports can only be invented and propagated by igno-
rant or etit-disposed ptrsons. Not only will the for-
tifications not be blown Up, but if the ehemy should
dare to approach them, they will be defended to the
last exttemity, and, if necessary, we will fight to the
last inclosuft of Dantzic.

" It is resented to the garrison of Danttic to prove,
in the present eircutnstaines, to the empire and to its
august Chiefs that nothing can shake its courage ;
and that it will dehnd, at every tisk, the important
place confided to its fidelity and honour.
" The General of Divisions Aid-cle;Camp of his
Majesty the Emperor and kings Governor Ge-
heral of Danttic, a COUNT RAPP."

To-day we continue our extracts from the French
Papers, and they are not less important than those
which we gave yesterday. Armies of observation
are now every where necessary tb secure the vassalage
of the conquered provinces or awe the spirit of hos-
lity which is about to burst forth among the un-
willing Allies of France. Italy, Austria, and the
Tyrol, are not the only countries which require the
vigilance of the Tyrant. The whole inhabitants of
*‘e North of Germany have been declared suspi-
cions, and have been put under the ,rurveillance of a
military Police. Berlin is occupied by a corps of ob-
servation, Under the command of General GannEn.
At Hambutgh are the head-quarters of LAURISTON;
ti.e half soldier.--half diplomatist, to whom it has
been given in charge to watch the line of the Elbe,
and though last not least in the list of the newly
aPpointed Military Chid's, MARRO:Mt the disabled
ind defeated Hero of Salamanca, is directed to corn-
Land another artily of observation in the ViCinity of
~tatz, on the side of Wurtemburgh and the petty
ILrman States which have been forcibly annexed to
ir4r,ce.

13c,NArArre is thus, for once, constrained to act on
L defensive, and his line of operations must neces-
-461y be so widely extended and demand resources
such a magnitude, that nothing short of a miracle
'4l preserve his dynasty from annihilation. We

We hain not yet discarded all our hopes fioma
regeneration of the French themselves. The good
people of Germany are not to be tranquillised by the
pathetic representations of theTWenty.ninthßulletin,
not ate their French neighbours so lbst to all the
synipathies of mankind, to be unsinitten by the rising
enthusiasm.

Nothing can more ft:4'66ly chew the totteting cob-
dition hi which BONAPARTB found his Thtbne on his
return from Russia, than the eagerness With which
he seems to have conciliated the Poi*. He thus, as
he thinks; secures the Church party in his favour, or,
at least, the good-will of a personage who may still
possess influence over some minds. It would not be
surprising if he should reptesent'his fbtbee struggles
for his Crown as a seligious war ; and the Concordat
wrested from the Holy Father at Fontainbleau, no
doubt, embraces some object of this description.
From Amsterdam we learn, that the tteasott bf
General D'Yonx has etched a great sensation there,
and that every good Dtitchm'an glories in being the
subject of the Great NApealorr. Why are these sen-
timents of loyalty so faithfully published, if the pant-
phlets and the gold of England have ipt disturbed
the tranquillity of Europe At Datttsk, howeveki
all is not so tranquil s—after Monsieur RAPP'S pro-
clamation, we do not think it likely that the besiegers
will have much. trouble.

An atticle from Stittgard !dams uso that the re-
doubted JOEL BARLOW had passed through that place
on his return to Paris. There is something of the
ludicrous connected with the bare mention of this
man's name—he too, it should seem, was idtokicated
with the rich petspectiVe of the plunder of Moscow'
and folldwed the French army, like a staunch Repub.
lican, as long as it continued to be victorious.. At
Wilna he must have heard of the retreat from Mos-
cow; and thence he " retroceded" with a heavy heart,
for nothing can be so galling to one of Mr. MADL
son's choice spirits, as the disgrace of the Great NA-
POLEON. That BARLOW enjoys all the satisfaction
which can result from a 46 fool's errand" we fully be-
lieve. Long may his chagrin and disappointment
continue!

The &flowing Letter front Plymouth fully ac-
counts for the Various ankles which have lately ap.
peared in the Paris Papers on the subject of the
tranquillity of Holland, The zeal and enthusiasm
with which this Dutch- enrol themselves to serve in
the Grand Army, is truly astonishing !
" PLYMOUTH, FEBRUAItt 9.

44 A Prussian vessel is just arrived front tour-
deaux ; by her we learn that Very great exertions are
making to recruit the armies of France—military
men of rank have, it appears, been sent into the dif-
ferent departments, to induce young men of respec-,
tablity to enroll their names, and make an offer of
their services to the Government, under a clear un-
derstanding that they should not be called out; but,
notwithstanding those assurances, the persons who
have been weak enough to enroll their names; have
been ordered to join the army—this nick has pro-
duced great discontent, and in some instances)
com Motions, particularly in Holland : at one place,
where the young men had enrolled themselves
at the suggestions of si Colonel, on being or.
deted to match to join the array, an affray took place ;
the Colonel was seized, thrown out of a window) and
killed on the spot. By the interference of the mili-
tary the young men were overpowered, seventy of,
them executed, and the remainder matched imme-
diately off most likely never mote to return I"

The following Proclamation has been issued by
Prince KUTUSOFF SMOLENSIEO) from Head-quarters,
to the inhabitants of the Duchy of Lithuania, and
of the Governments of Grodno and Bialystock t

" The fate of the coalesced Army is determined, and we have
teen its numberless battalions dispersed and destroyed. In this
_Moment of anguish to our eneniles,and of triumph to out friends,
we find ourselves in the midst Of you, to restore order and tram.

which for some short interval had withdrawn friint yodr ram-
parts. Now is the time that you should be mindful of your duty
to Goa and to your country, to your parents and childreh, add to
the Legitimate Government by which they are protected:
" We dime with the right hand of fellbwship; and not with
delusive priimiies in our mouths, and hypocrisy in bur looks;

you the instruments of their ambition ; but we cotne to you with
Confidence in your loyalty, with sincerity in our professions,
and for the Purpose of preserflog your laws, your property, and
your freedom. +

" If, in an unguarded mbment, ybb shetsld have forgotten tour
allegiance, we knew the errors tb which frail mortality Is et,.
posed, and the mildness bf his Inapesial Majesty, my most gra-
cious Lord and Emperbr, will pardon your weaknels and imper-

stool of the throne of the Ars:float v, who is alone acqualated
With the weakness of the human heart, and who can alone ap-
pease the torment of a guilty conscience.

" It will be the endeaiour of his Imperial Majesty, in the ex-
ercise of the magnanimity of his character, to relieve yolk dis-
tresses, to supply your wants, and to restore to I,m the happiness
and prospefity which you have heretofore posses4rd."

Three vessels have attived from rr4nce, laden
principally with cambrics, and intended to return,
under sanction of their licences, with cottons, &c.

tured a letter of marque from Liverpool, of 12 guns,
which was recaptured, the Master of which Stated,
that the Boney's crew were only at that time, fifty
men, so that her loss with the TOwnshend Must have
been very considerable. They made four attempts
to board, but were reptilsed each time. Mr. Sew,
