SEVENTY-NAST BULLETIN OP 1111 GRAND ARMY.
a Illiateilftcto, April sy.
The viliort of Eylan having ft-nitrated all the
plins which the -enemy had formed igaitifl the Lower
Vittula, has enabled us to furround Dantzic,
commence the liege of that fortrefs. But if was
necelfary to draw the battering artillery from the for-
treffes of Silefia and along the Oder, fo that it had
to come upwards of rod leagues thrpugh a cotintry
in which there are no loads. This 4ifficuttY is now
got over, and a part of that artillery is already ar•
rived. One hundred pieces of cannon are nOw• on
their way from Stettin, Cußrin, Glogau, and Brea'
lau, and in a few days we Bull be provided with
every thing necellary.
" The Prnflian General .Kalkreuth has the cow.
mand at Dantzic. The garrifon confilts of t4..00ts
Putt:flans, and 6000 Ruffians. The inundations and
marfhes, feveral lines of fortifications, and the fort ,
.of'Weixelmunde, have rendered it difficult to fur-
round the fortrefs.
" The annexed report of the liege of Dantzic will
thew what progrefs had been made to, the r7th intl.
Our works already extend to wickin eighty .rods of
the fortrefs ; we have even attacked the catared ava
feveral times,and have ctamaged.the Wades thereot
" Mat that Lefebvre *difpfays all the aftivity of
youth. He is very fucCefsfully ' alined by General.
Savary t but the latter is now !Ong ill of a bilious
fever, at the Abbey of Oliva, not far from the town.
His illnefs was of fo ferious a nature, that his life
was in danger for feveral days. General Lefebvre
has airs found able affillants in the General of Bri-
gade Schramm, in the General of Artillery Lari-.
boiffiere, and in the General of Engineers Kitgener.
The General of Engineers ChafTeloup is alto arrived
near Dantzic.

" The Saxon, the Pulifh, and the Baden troops,
Brice the Hereditary Prince of Baden is at their bead,
are vying with each other in bravery.
" The enemy has not tried any other method of
coming to the affiflance of Dantzic, than by fending
a few battalions and fume provifions to the place by
the fea.

66 In Silefia, Prince Jerome continues the liege of
Neiffe vigorougy.
" Since the Prince of Pletz has declined to all,
Baron Aide de Camp to the King of Prafia,
is arrived at Glatz, by way of Vienna, with the
title of Governor General of Silefia. He is accom-
panied by the Enghill Commiffary, who arafl keep
an eye upon the manner in which the eighty thoufand
pounds Reding are laid nut, which were given by
England to the King of Pruffia.
" On the s3th inliant that Pruffian Officer advan-
ced from Glatz with a corps of 4.00 ts men,- and at-
tacked General Lefebvre (who commands the corps
of obfervation which covers the liege of Neilie). at
Frankenflein. This operation has been ineffeetual.
Baron Kleifk was repulfed with vigour.
" On the 14./h, Prince Jerome fixed his head.
quarters at Munflerberg.
66 General Loifon has taken upon him the com-
mand at the liege of Colberg. The means for pro-
kerning the fame are colleOing. They have been
fubjesl to fome delay, becaufe it was nectffAry not
to hinder the affembling of the train of artillery de-
(lined for the liege of Dantzic.
Marihal Monier, who has the direelion of the
liege of Colberg, had g,ine to that fortrefs, leaving
General Grandjean in Pomerania with a corps of
obfervation, after he had given him orders to take
poll on the Banks of the Peene _ _

The garrifon of Stralfund having, in the mean
time, received a reinforcement of levant regiments
by fea, and being informed of the movement of
General Monier, marched out in a numerous body.
General Crandjean, in conformity to his inftruetions,
croffed the Peene, and took poll at Anclam. The
numerous flotilla of the Swedes afforded them (Ippon.
tnnity to land at different places, and to furprize a
Dutch poll of 3o men, and an Italian poft of 37
men. On being informed of there movements, Mar-
ital Mortier, on the 13th, proceeded to Stettin, and
having collated his farces, he maneuvered to en-
tice the Swedes, whore force did not amout to 12,000
men, to advance.

" For there two months paft, the grand army has
been quiet in its cantonments. This time has been
employed in recruiting the cavalry, and providing
them with hot les, repairing the arms, enahlififing
large magazines of bircuit and brandy, and furnifh-
ing the foldiers with (hoes. Independent of one pair
in wear, each man hal two more pair in his knapfack.
Silefia and the ifland ollslogat have furnifhed a
number of good horfes to the cutraffiers, to the dra
goons, anal to the light cavalry.
" In the beginning of May, an army of obferva-
tion, confining of 50,000 French and Spani(h troops,
will be affembled on the Elbe. Whilft Ruffia has
affembled in Poland nearly the whole of her troops,
there is only a part of the French military force in
that country. This, however, is a confequence of the
great difference which exifts between the effential
ftrength of the two countries. The 500,000 Ruffians,
which the writers of newfpapers made to march to
the right and again to the left, only exit in their
papers and in the imagination of fome readers, who
are the eater milled, by being !hewn the immenfe ex-
tent of the Ruffian territory, without the leaft men-
tion of its extenfive defarts and uncultivated dinriEts.
" It is faid, that the Guards of the Emperor of
Ruffia have reached the army. Thty will fees on the
firft meeting, whether the Imperial Guard is annihi-
lated, as the enemy's Generals have allured. That
Guard is now more numerous than ever, and almoft
double the number it was at Aufterlitz. _ _

Exclufive of the bridge thrown acrofs the Na-
rew; -another is forming on piles between Warfaw
and Pfaga ; the work is in a very forward Hate.—
The bridges on piles are fironger and more fervice-
able than thofe of boats. Although it is very labo-
rious to confiTufl foch bridges acrofs a river 4.00 rods
in breadth, it is rendered eafy through the !kill and
afiivity bf the officers, under whole diredien it is per-
formed; and from the abundance of timber.
The Prince of Benevento is Rill at Warfaw, ne•
gociating with the Ambaffadars of the Porte and the
Emperot of Perris. Independent of the (*twice:,
which he tenders to the Emperor as a blinifter,fome
important operations are frequently entrulied to him
relative-to the wants of the army.

SEVENTT-SECciND BuLtATIN OF THE OLAND/IRM*
• , 0 flatienetria, April se.
" The operations of Mailhal Métier have had the
cleared effea. The Swedes were fo inerinciderate as to eras the river Peene, to advance . upon Ancient
and Demmin, and to move towards Pelkivaik. On
the 26th, before break of day, Maraud Monier ,I
in-
bled his troops, advanced front Paffewalic on the
road to Ancient, overthrew the ppits. of Belling
• and Ferdinancithoff, took 400 [intoner: and two
pieces of cannon, entered Anclam at the fame time
with the enemy, and Made hinifelf mailer of the
bridge on the Peene.
•• .
44 The column of the Swedifh General Cardek was
cut off. It remained at Uckermunde when we wern
already at Anclam. The Swedifh Genoa! in Chief
Armfeldr has been wounded by a grape flot. All -
the enemy's magaiines are taken.
" The column of General Cordell, which has been
cut off, was attacked on the 27th, by the General .of
Brigade Veau, near Uckermunde, when the enemy
loft three piedes of cannon, and 500 men, which
were taken. The reit efcaped by getting on board
the gun boats in the Haff. Two snore pieces of cats
non, and too men, were taken near Demmin.
" Baron Von Ellen,l who commands the Swectifti
army during the abfence of General Asnifelcit, pro.
pored alt Amiftiei to General Mortier, informing him
that the Ring had granted him a fpecial power to
conclude the fame. A peace, or even an armtltice,
' granted to Sweden, would accomplifh the aloft fari-
guine willies of the Emperor, who his always been
very reluctant to carry on a war agaipll a generous
and brave nation; which, upon local and political
grounds, is the friend of France. Moil Swedifh blood
flow, either to protect or to fobvert the Ottoraan
empire ? Is it to flow for maintaining the balance or
for fupporting the flavery of the feat ? What has Swe-
den to fear from France ? Nothing. What has (ht
to fear from Ruffle ? Everr thing. Thefe reafons
are too evident, not to prompt an enlightened Cabi-
net, and 7 nation which pofrefles cleernefs of mind,
and independence of opinion, to put a fpeedy flop tb-
the war. Immediately after the battle of Jena, the
Emperor made known his dellre to reftore the ancient
relations between Sweden and France. There firft
overtures were made to the Swedifh Miniller at
Hamburgh, but rejected. The Emperor coi.flantly
direded his Generals to treat the Swedes as friends,
with whom we are at variance, and with whom we
(hall loon be reconciled, from the nature of things.
Behold the true intereft of both nations. 44 If they
did us any harm, they would regret it : and we, on
our part,fhould win) to repair the wrong we may have
done them. The intereft of the State will at left rife
fuperior to all differences and petty quarrels." There
were the Emper,r's own words in his orders. Ani-
mated by fuel fentiments, the Emperor ordered the
military operations for the liege of Stralfund to be
difcontinued, and the mortars and Cannon which
were fent from Stettin for that purpofe to be fent
back. He wrote to General Mortier in the following
words : " I already regret what has beep done. I
am lorry that the fine tuburb of Stralfund is burnt.
Is it our bufinefs to hurt Sweden ? This is a mere
dream. It is our bufinefs to prated, not tc do her any
injury. In the latter, let us be as Moderale as pof-
fible. Propofe to the Governor of Stralfund an ar.
miftice, or a ceffation of hoflilitim, in order to eafe
the burden, and leffen the calamities of a war, which
I confider as wicked, becaufe it is impolitic." On
the Bth the armiftite was concluded between Marlhil
Mortier and garon Von Effen. Annexed is a Copy
of the Articles.—[Here the Articles follow.]
" The liege of Dantzick is continued without in-
terruption. Annexed is a Report of the Military
Operations at that place. [Thu Report iponeitted in
the Dutch Gazette, being ofirnportance only to military men.]
4' On the 16th of April, at eight in the evening,
a detachment of 2000 men from the garrifon of Glatz
advanced with fix pieces of cannon again(} the right
wing of the poll of Frankenfiein. On the following.
day, the 17th, at break of day, another column, of
800 men, marched from Silberberrt. Thefe troops
after their juntlion advanced upon Frankenfiein, and •
commenced an attack, at five in the morning, with
an intention to attack General Lefebvre, who was
polled there with his corps of obfervation. Prince
Jerome let off for Munfterburgh when the firft gun
was fired, and arrived at Frankenflein at t:n in the
morning. The enemy was completely difperfed, and
purfued to the covered way of Glatz. Six l'.undted
of them were taken, together with three piece: of
cannon. One major and eight officers are among
the prifoner. : three hundred men were left dead on
the field of battle ; four hundred men, that had efca-
ped in the woods, were attacked and taken at IL in
the fbrenonn. Colonel Becker., commanding MT
fiith Bavarian Regiment of the line, and Colonel
Scharfenftein, of the Wurtemburgh troops, have
done wonders. The former would not quit the field
of battle, although he was wounded in the (boulder:
he (hewed hirnfeif every where at the head of his bat-
talion, and every where he performed wonders. The
Emperor has granted to each of thefe officers the
Eagle of the Legion of Honour. Captain Brockfeld,
who provilionally commands theWurtemburgHorfe
Chaffeurs, has likewife diflinguithed himfelf and it
was him that took the feveral pieces of cannon.
" The liege of Nellie is going on profperoufly...
One half of the town is already burnt, and the
trenches are approaching very near the fortrefs."
PULTUSK, APRIL 7.
Martial Maffetta, the Crown Prince of Bavatia,
Baron Wrede, and feveral other Generals, are here.
Provifions may be had, bat they are exceffively dear.
An egg colts (even or eight krentters. The lakes
and rivers in this neighbourhood have cooled much
damage by their overflowing. The roads are not
yet paffable—.-and even if the weather was good at '
preterit, military operations could not commence fur
a month.

SERLIN, APRIL aR
For Come titne after Colbert was in/felted* a um•
ber of the garrifon fhewed thtmfelves in feweral Omni,
particularly near Rugenwalde.—[Turn over

Thefe troops, hoWever, are at length driven into
the place, and for more ;Ilan a week part the Poli(h
General Henry has clofely inverted Co7lin with a
numerous cavalry, and Come infantry. According
to later accounts, Colberg is warmly cannonaded.
From Neilre, in Silefia, we learn, that a bombard
ment had excited a difporition in the Commandant to
capitulate; but that his Pruffian Majerty had iffued the
flriaea orders to all the commandants of places Rill
in his power, to defend themfelves to the haft curer
mitt', without any crnfideration of the inhabitants.
MAY r.—Twenty-threeSwedifh officers, prifonet s of
sva,, fet out yetlerday on their way to Frarsce Aa of.
facer has been appointed to accompany them, that they
might not experience any difficulties on the route.
They appear fatisfied with the dillinaion with which
they are treated. They enjoyed great liberty when at
Berlin. They conduaed themfelves like men of ho.
nour, bearing arms, and their parole was furicient
to allow them to have many comforts which their fitu-
ation admitted of. The Swedes never as contrary
to their word, and it is known that their King would
not permit any of his fubjeas to depart from the
paths of honour. Louis XII. faid, that if honour
was banifhed from the earth, it would be found in
the hearts of Kings. It is alfo known that the King
of Pruflia has deprived of his military rank M. de P.
who had dared to afk his Majelly to reintlate him in
the army, while he was a prifuner on his parole to
the Fr ench.-7eegrapb.
May 2.—Orders have been given to prepare lodg-
ing for 80,000 French troops, who are to pafs through
this city on their way to the Grand Army.

SCHWERIN, MAY r.
The truce with the Swedes, shish was the fertn•
nate refult of the blood(hed which had fo ufelefsly
been shed in Pomerania, appears likely to be of longer
duration than was at fill expeeled—at leaft there
was, on the 29th of lalt month, a new article added
to the armiftice, by Martha' Monier and General
Von Ellen, Rating, " That hailities between the
French and Swedifh troops cannot commence, unlefs
a previous notice is given of one mouth, inßead of
ten days, as had been flipulated."
