At a late hour last night two Gottenburgh Mails
arrived, in addition to those which we announced
yesterday. The intelligence they bring is to the
28tt ult. Warsaw, Thorn, Lieban, Posen, Dantzic,
and Berlin, are said to be occupied by the Russian
armies. The Austrians, in the vicinity of Warsaw,
are also reported to have entered into a Convention
similar to that which the patriotic General D'Yospt
concluded with the Russians; and though last, not
least, Lord CATHCART is reported to have concluded
a treaty with.the Danish Minister at St. Petersburgh.
These art highly gratifying reports, and although
they do not rest preciskly upon official authority, they
are nevertheless entitled to the highest credit. The
date of the entrance of the Russians into Berlin is
stated to have been the 19th ult.: the day on which
Dantzic capitulated is not mentioned. Pillau and
'the adjoining fortresses capithlated on the Bth ult.—
The Russians, after permitting the French garrison
to return to France, gave up the place to the Pius.
sians whom they found there, and proceeded on their
victorious career. The latter circumstance proves
that the dispositions of the Prussians are highly anti-
gallican. But on this subject we have other evidence:
General D'Yoax, at the head of 40,000 men, is now
in full activity, as Commander in Chief of the Prus-
sian army, and is said to be rapidly advancing to-
wards Berlin : thousands flock daily to his standard.
The Prussians havSa long reckoning to settle with
France. Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Spain—(world
that we could add Italy, Holland, an. the Nether.
lands), may be expected to act in concert against the
common tyrant; and may the eagle of victory guide
them to their prey !
Lord CATHCART has at length left the Russian Ca_
pital. The cause of hit continued residence there,
after the departure of the Emperor, is now satisfacto-
rily ascertained. Besides the highly beneficial Com-
mercial Treaty which his Lordship has concluded with
the Court of St. Petersburgh, the negociations with
the Danish Minister, so happily terminated, were
surely of sufficient importance to detain him. A free
trade to Norway, the recal of the Danish letters of
marque, the exclusion of all French privateers from
Danish ports, and the mutual release of prisoners,
are the bases of this friendly arrangement.
To counteract at these mighty engines *hich are
sow at work against him, the wretched, disgraced.
and defeated DONAPARTE is said to have left his capi-
tal and proceeded to the army. Where that is sta-
tioned, we know not. It is high time, however; that
he should abandon his agricultural pursuits, for the
present at least. It is not universal empire that he
Tana now contend for—his existence is at stake.

The following are the principal articles brought
by the above Mails :

14 ST. PETERSBURGH, JANUARY 31.

Count Wittgenstein, who has been appointed
now sole Commander of our army in Prussia, and
'whose plan for the operations' in Germany, has
been entirely approved by his Imperial Majesty, is
gone from Konigsberg to join the ttoops that have
inverted Dantzic, and will, we dare say, not let us
wait long without good news from him.
" Lord CATHCART, on an invitation, set out to-
day to be with the EMPEROR. Lord WALeott re
turned last night from Vienna, and it may be erpected
that his mission has not been unsuccessful."

" GOITENBUROH, FEBRUARY' 27.

41 Letters have been this morning received from
Car!sham, stating, that Dantzic was taken. This in-
telligence, though not official, is generally believed.
..--The same letters mention, that the King of Prussia
has declared
:war against Frame. All the young
men capable of bearing arms have gone to Breslau,
where the King is.
el Another letter says, that the Russians entered
?rayath on the 6th, and Palau on the Bth. The Aus-
trians in the neighboothood of Warlaw are reported
to have entered into a capitulation similar to that
concluded by General rnfork.
• Intelligence hit been received here from Bt.
tersburgh, dated the I Sth inst. stating that Warsaw,
Thorn, Liebau, and Posen, ate in possession of the
Russians. Dantzic., it was supposed, would surren-
der by capitulation about the Bth 6r 10th inst.' Lord
Cathcart left St. Petersburgh on the 12th instant for
the army.
▪ By accounts from Berlin the Russians were within
twelve miles of Berlin ; the Cossacks had even push-
ed forward their reconnoitring parties till within Lour
miles of it.

" FEBRUARY 28.—We have a report to-day that the
King of Prussia is gene to meet the Emperor Alex-
ander at Willenbttrgh."

" ELSiNEUR, FEBRUARY 10.

" General D'York is appointed Commander of the
Prussian army ; he is acting in the name of the King
•f Prussia with 40,000 men.

The Russians entered Berlin on the 19th.
" Thete is a report that Ilaiteic has fallen, but it is i
not credited." •
" COPENHAGEN, FEBRUARY 9.
•
ig We have a report here, generally credited, that 1!
convention has been signed in St. l'etersburgh be-
tween Lord Cathcart and the Danish Minister, Blom,
the basis of which.is a free trade to Norway, with a
proviso ithat all privateering, both Danish and
French, is to be forbidden by this country.
de It is also mentioned, that aII the Danish prisoners
in England will be immediately allowed to return
home."

1.-KONIGSBERG, FEBRUARY 11.
86 The town add fortress of Pillau having been
blockaded Since the 7thlanuary of this year, by the
Imperial Russian yoops, the Russian Major-General
Count Sievres, commanding in Konigsberg, received
orders to march'against Pillau, with all the troops
and artillery then in Konigsberg, and to which were
added 2000' infantry and batteries of artillery from
the army, and.ro sutArnon the French garrison to
surrender. In pursuance of these orders General
Count Van Sievers arrived on the 6th inst. with the
said body of troops, about 6000 men, strong, and a
proportionable quantity of artillery,• in the village of
Old Pillau, within 2000 paces of the fortress :—the
troops posted themselves partly in front of this vil_
lage and partly on the heights laying on the right
and left of it, and partly on the Nehrung point, at a
proper range of shot, and the commanding General
immediately sent the following summons for the sur_
render of the citadel and the Nehrung fort to the
Commandant of the French garrison. This proposal
led to the happy conclusion of a Convension, accord.
ing whereto the Imperial French troops on the Bth
instant, at eight o'clock in the morning, quitted the
town and fortress of Pillau, and the forts of Nehrung,
which had been garrisoned by them ever since the
month of May last year.
to The garrison which marched out consisted of
about 1200 men, and. the number "of their sick left
behind amounts to about 400.

g, On the 9th the Imperil Russian troops returned
to the army, and only the Royal Prussian trcops that
were in the town and citadel remained behind to
garrison them, The following letter contains the
foresaid summons :
GtNeskr. —Yea must be convinced that both the town and
fortress of Pdlau are surrounded by so very superior a force that
all resistance on your side would not only be fruitless, but
Inertly tend to increase the effusion of blood, of which there has
already been too much this war, and would unnecessarily expose
the tow to devastation.

" I therellbre summon you, General, to evacuate the fortress
and to accept a capitulation for tke imperial French troops,
which shall be made as favourable as the condition in which they
are situated will allow.

" I beg you to receive the assurance of the most perfect re-
veer, with which I have the honour to sign myself, General
)oar very obedient Servant,

" COUNT VON SIIVERS,
" Commanding General of the Imperial Russian
troops lying before Pillau.
" Head-quarters, Old Milan, 25th January (Gth Feb.)"
ge In conformity to the convention made with the
garrison, the Imperial French General Castella is to
march out with the troops under his command, with
their arms, ammunition, and baggage, and to retire
with the same to the left bank of the Rhine, where
they shall be released from- all obligations. Such
Imperial Russian subjects as may possibly be found
among the garrison of Pillau, shall be delivered up
to the commanding Russian General.
44 An Imperial Russian Officer will accompany the
column to its place of destination, their baggage shall
not be subjected to any search, the French General,
Castelia, having declared upon his word of honour
that there was nothing amongst it belonging to the
Russians.

" The Imperial Russian Colonel, Baron Von de
Pahlen, is appointed Governor of our tows
" A proclamation has been issued in the name of the
Imperial Russian Field Marshal' General Prince Ku-
tusoff of Smolensko, which is of considerable length,
concerning the receiving as currency the Russian
gold, silver and copper coins, as well as the St. Pe-
tersburgh Bank assignats of 5, 10, and 25 roubles,
which must be taken aovell in the public Treasury
as in private transactions ;—•it is stated in the procla-
mation that four roubles in assignats ore to pass for
one silver rouble.

is Admiral Tschitchagoff, who is Commander in
Chief in Prussia, has issued several Proclamations,
according to which, the Prussian gens d'armes may
keep order and quiet, as well with regard to the
Russian military as to the Prussian ; the posts are to
be respected ; the Post-office freed from quartering
soldiers ; and Russian couriers and travellers to be
forwarded only on having a travelling pass, and pay-
ing the post money. Security is promised to the
carriage drivers ;—and the subsistence of the troops,
excepting in particular cases, shall be provided out
of
,the magazines. Every Commander of troops
quartered in any place shall take a written certificate
of the behaviour of his troops from the Police Ma-
gistrates of the place.

" WARSAW, FEBRUARY 6.

iropolis of -Warsaw., .

14 circumstances, I have taken on myself the Admi-
nistration of this CUT, after the departure of the
ICouncil of Ministers. I now hasten to inform the In-

only that we may look for an amelioration of our

Two Heligoland Mails have arrived with intelli-
gence to the 3d instant. A boat had reached the
Island from the Elbe, with advices•frorn Hamburgh
of the 26th of last month, which state, that the
French were in great alarm in that city, that they
were packing up their effects, and that all the horses
in the neighbourhood were put in requisition, to con-
vey such property as was portable, in the direction of
Westphalia.

The accounts from Bremen are dictated under the
same impressions, and thirty-six merchants of that
place had been required to give security for the or-
derly and peaceable behaviour of the inhabitants.

The letters from Sweden again mention prepara•
ton.; for an Expedition to the opposite coast of the
Baltic; and we are told, that the troops which were
to compose a part of this force, now stationed at
Gottertburgh, were to commence their march on the
16th instant.

When the last glorious news from the North with
an account of the continued victories of the Rus-
sians reached our army in the Peninsula, Baron AL-
TENT, who commands the light division which has the
duty of the outposts, sent a flag of truce with these
accounts to the French General, who most politely
thanked the Baron, saying that they had had no ac.
counts from their army in Russia for four months ;
he entertained the Officer who brought the flag, most
hospitably, enquired particularly after the health of
Lord WELLINGTON, and sent Baron AtTCN a present
of poultry, which was scarce with him, and request-
ing a barrel of rum, of which the French had none.

Reports are prevalent in Portugal, that in the en-
suing campaign a Russian force will be disembarked.
it two points to assist in compelling the French army
to evacuate Spain at all points, and force all their
strong holds.

The enemy have of late been making reconnois-
sances, and have been extremely anxious to find what
our army was doing. They pushed very strong pa-
tro!es of cavalry to St. Felippe and close to the gates
of Ciudad Rodrigo, which were suddenly shut, and
the garrison put under arms. They have since re-
tired, driving before them the cattle, marauding and
doing all the mischief they could to the wretched in-
habitants who came in their way.

The following statement of the numbers of the late
French army, with the portions it consisted of, has
just been received from Russia. The writer informs
us, that it was taken from a memorandum found
amongst Bonaparte's papers : •
200,000 French. 20,000 Wirtemburgers.
32,000 Austrians. 17,000 Dutch.
21,000 Prussians. 32,000 Neapolitans.
35,000 Basiarians. 20,000 Italians.
26,000 Saxons. 12,000 Swiss.
)28,000 Westphalluw. 6,000 Spanishand Portuguese.
7,000 Hessians. 50,000 Poles.
Total 506,000 Men!

The subjoined Table of the temperature, of the
atmosphere at Archangel, at noon, from the 15th
Dec. o. s. (27th Dee.) to the 28th (9th Jan. 1818),
inclusive, will give our Readers some idea of the
severity of a Russian winter. We have reduced the
degrees to Fahrenheit's scale, but have followed
Reaumeur's index, i. e. the degrees are counted from
the freezing point :

Yesterday being appointed for a Public and Ge.
neral Fast, a few minutes before twelve o'clock, his
Royal Highness the Niece REGENT, accompanied
by the Princess CHARLOTTE. attended by the Duchess
of LEEDS, went from Carlton House to St. James's
Palace, in the Prince's carriage. They entered by
the temporary entrance from the garden in the Park,
and proceeded through the State Rooms to the Cha-
pel-Royal. The PRINCE took his seat in the King's
pew; the Princess CHARLOTTE in the pets, adjoining,
to his left. The Dukes of YORK, CUMBERLAND, and
CAMBRIDGE, were in the pew on the right, in readiness
to revive the hunt. An appropriate and impres-
sive Sermon was delivered by the Rev. Mr. HAOGITT.
The Form of Prayer and Service appointed for the
day, were read by the Sub-Doan and Mr. HavEs.—.. ,
Alter the Sermon an Anthem, 4s Be merciful unto
me," by Parcel, from Dr. Boyce's Collection, was
sung by Messrs. Goss,. GORE, and SALE, ser.. Mr.
ArTTWOOD presided at the organ.
The Earl of MOIRA, it seems, although he unites
the nominal appointment of Commander in Chief
with the Governor Generalship:of India, is not to
benefit by the salary of it, which is A 30,000 per ann.
Government, by a recent arrangement, having di-
rected it to be received by Lieutenant-General Sir G;
WORN r, for himself and Staff.

His Royal Highness the. Duke of CLARENCX ar•
rived at St. Itnies's yesterday ; and this day Mist
FITZCLARENCE also arrived for the season.

The applications of the Cotton-holders to the Board
of Trade to prevent the importation of Cotton Wool,
from the United States, free of duty, under the 43d
of the King, c. 153. s. 13. has been successful, it has
been determined to submit to Parliament the repeal
of the clauses referred to, and the imposition of a
duty upon Cotton Wool from the United States of
3d. per pound, if conveyed in neutral ships, and lid.
per pound in British ships.

Mrs. CAPPER, the cook, and wife of a ticket porter
of that name; who is come into the actual possession
of 83,000,0000 f money, which has been accumulating
under the Receiver-General in Chancery for four-
score years, owes this immens! acquisition to the kind
aid of Sir JOHN LUBBOCK and Mr.• HOARE, who
deeming her claim a rightful one, recommended her
some years back to the attention of Lord (then Mr.)
Eassamt, who thought her title so good, that lie is
said to have unet taken to prosecute the arduous and
expensive suit at his own sole expence, on the condi-
tics', that if it proved successful, he should receive one
per cent. on the amount of the sum recovered....
Wheti his Lordship ceased his professional practice,
on being elevated to the Peerage, the conduct of the
suit devolved to his son, who, by the late final deci-
sion of the Court of Chancery in favour of his client,
will now become possessed, by the per tentage, of
830,000.

For the Epidemic Colds and Fevers which prevail
at this time, the genuine Dr. JAMES'S POWDER is par.
ocularly recommended. The . beneficial effects of
this Medicine have been often manifested in similar
complaints, more especially in the Influenzas of the
years 1782 and 1803, when it was found superior to
every other Febrifuge.
