A GOTTENBURGH MAIL

Arrived this morning with intelligence from that place
to the Bth instant. The occurrences on the Theatre

of War will not now be

from Gotten-

burgh, but Heligoland. The contents of the Swedish
Papers are therefore comparatively unintr esting.
The firing -from the batteries at Elsineur upon the
British fleet while passing the Cattegat is a suspicious
circumstance. We give the following extracts :

" GOTTENBURGH, APRIL 7.

di Yesterday arrived his Majesty's ships Vigo, Zea-
lous, Ulysses, Hamadryad, Alexandria, Mercurius,
Woodlark, Barbara, Locust, Mariner, and Forward,
with Admiral Morris, and about 400 sail of mer-
chant-vessels. On passing through the Sound they
were jived at from Elsineur Castle and the Danish
gun-boats, with rockets, shells, &c. A shot struck
the Vigo's bowsprit, and another the hull of the Ha-
madryad, but neither of them did• any damage ex.
cept wounding the bowsprit of the former. The fri-
gate and brigs returned the ire. The Swedish gun-
boats drew out in line of battle for the protection of
the convoy, and the Swedes placed buoys along the
coast for their safe navigation. The spectators on
the Swedish shore were immense."

~ STOCKHOLM, MARCH 30.

44 According to a Report received from the Chief
Adjutant and Lieutenant-Colonel, &c. de Wiesen, of
the 22d March, the troops sent under his command
to Pomerania had disembarked at Port, and crossing
over Rugen, gone to Stralsund, where they arrived
on the 20th inst. and relieved the Burghers, and took
the garrison duty on themselves.
The Royal Pomeranian Government had taken
measures for the speedy raising of the levy en masse.
The frontier defence of Pomerania was organized.
" Two companies of her Majesty the Queen's re-
giment, and two of Von Englebrecht's regiment,
which were quartered in the country, were collected
together under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel
Von Hennings.
" The Swedish store-ships, lying at Walgast, and
which have hitherto been detained there by the French
rulers, were fitting out and preparing to return again
to Sweden.

66 The shipment of corn for Swedish ports had al-
ready commenced at Stralsund, in the vessels lying
there. Preparations were making for clearing the
channel to Gillon and Wittou, where the French had
sunk some vessels to stop the passage.
66 In the intrenchments thrown up by the French,
were found the following artillery : —At Prosenitz,
five guns, 18-pounders; three ditto, I`l-pounders;
three ditto, 6-pounders ; two 40-pounder mortars. The
carriages and blocks for three pieces in good condition.'
About 80 bombs, 60 balls to every gun, and SO con-
,cave 2+-pound bombs unfilled.—At Nuderhoff, five
"guns, 18-pounder£ ; one ditto, 6-pounder ; and 251
balls to every gun.

" These guns were spiked, besides which, 25 guns
cf different calibres and one carronade, were taken
from the vessels which had beeti fitted out by the
French as privateers. The Swedish troops were re.
ceived with the greatest demonstrations of joy every
where in the Island of Rugen and Pomerania. They
found free quarters given them wherever they passed,
and the inhabitants of Stralsund, Griefzswald, and
Birgen, demonstrated their joy on the troops arrival,
by voluntary illuminations, &c.
" Of the 500 t) men. land troops, put on board the
squadron which sailed on the `'24th instant from Carls-
crona to Pomerania, only six men were found sick
and left behind. This is to be attributed to the pre-
cautions taken and the particular inspection made in
consequence of the general orders to the army."

FROM THE BERLIN GAZETTE OF 25TH MARCH.
COUNT WITTGENSTEIN'S ADDRESS TO THE SAXONS.

" Brave Saxons I,ln what manner am I to address
you ? As your enemy ? I aM not such—You are
worthy Germans, and I am come in the wine of my

yoke. I will, therefore, speak to_yon.aryodr -friend, I
hear rile, for I mean well to you.
" It is probable that you are eurpristd at the sight
•
of Russians and Prussians entering your country in
arms ; it is probable that you may be in dread and
I uncertain what to do, your King having forsaken
you, and ordered you to remain quiet. But where a
house is on fire, a neighbour must not stand to ask
'the owner's permission to quench it.
" Your King's house has long been on fire—be
himself is in distress, and dare not speak so as his
German heart would assuredly dictate to him. For

do but consider !—A German King, he who so long
has been found to give your energies and blood to
the French ;--could he order you to remain quiet, at
a moment %glen inactivity is a crime ? The hour has
struck, that will never strike a second time—the hour
of delivery from- a French yoke ; and could he him-
self require you to stop your eyes ?
41 For 45 years past he has strove for your happi-,
ness, your honour, and should he now wish for your
distress, your dishonour ? Impossible.
.llas he not
himself required of you to maintain the ancient re-1
nown of the Saxons ? In what then did this ancient
renown consist ? Read in your histories, there yob
will find it—there existed once before an ambitious
.Emperor of the Franks ; he was called Charlemagne,
who was obliged to carry on a war of 30 years dura-
tion to subdue you. You had at that time a King
called Wittikind—he did not forsake you in your
distress, nor did he call to you to keep yourselves
quiet, but he himself led you to the bloody combat
for Liberty 1(

" See, that was your ancient renown, and by
that you must abide—a thousand years are since fled,
and, in that thousand years Goo had never again vi-
sited Europe with such another scourge—it has now
again appeared, and would you not fight against it
now as you then did I Will you lay your backs bare ?
Hear, and consider how much easier the struggle is
rendered to you now, than it was to your ancestors a
thousand years ago—they stood alone—they were ob-
liged, singly, to defend themielves against the mighty
Charles.

" But you do-not stand alone: my Emperor with
his whole power—•the King of Prussia with the whole
of his force, have taken up arms in your assistance—
for your salvation ; and if you be only inclined to it'
the struggle will not last 30 years. With GOD'S bclp
we will shake off your chains in one year, and then
every one among you may rest with honour. Then
will your ruined manufactures again flourish—your
commerce again find its old channel, which are now
stopped up. Your agriculture will recover itself
your sons will no longer be dragged forth to be
slaughtered—in short, their' will the happy time of

peace be returned, and fur which your King himself
will thank you.

Butwhosever would'till then remain inactive, hitti
will I not acknowledge for a true German.. rWhoso-
ever is not for liberty, is against her. Therefore
choose !—Accept either my paternal offer, or meet
my sword 1 Join with me to restore your King and his
independence, then may he, if GOD so pleases,
reign over you 45 years longer in peace and plenty,
for do not believe that I wish to seduce you from
him, rather would I draw the ties between you and
him, which have been broken by foreign tyrany, still
closer—you shall have a free King, and be called
free Saxons. •

" Up ! up ! and arm yourselves, were it even only
with sickles, and scythes, and cudgels ! Drive the
strangers from your soil ! You shall always find me
and my Russians, with the valiant Prussians, where.
ever danger is most prominent. Already has the
vengeance of GOD manifested itself on the insolent !
Believe me, we shall conquer ! Tt.L. long forbearance
of COD is exhausted—we shall conquer ! I speak
not this out of idle boasting, but in reliance on GOD
and you, and in the most Sacred Cause !
44 Given from my Head-quarters at Berlin, on the
11th (23d) March,
(Signed) " COUNT V. WITTGENSTEIN."
