ANOTHER HELMOLAND MAIL.

SURRENDER OF DAIMIC.

A Heligoland Mail arrived this morning, but it
does not enable us to confirm the intelligence of yes-
terday respecting the sortie from Magdeburgh. The
substance of the intelligence from Hamburgh is how-
ever highly gratifying. There can be little doubt
that Dantzic has fallen, and the French seem to have
abandoned Magdeburgh to its fate, leaving a garri-
son of 1000 men only. The real cause for the sieges
of Dantzic, Thorn, Stettin, &c. not being warmly
prosecuted by the Allies is now ascertained. The
garrisons are mostly composed of Germans, and it
is the policy of the besiegers not to irritate their un-
fortunate brethren. We hasten to lay the gratifying
intelligence before our Readers :

" HAMBURGH, APRIL O.
PRIVATE LETTER.

" A courier from Prince Wittgenstein has jus
brought the important intelligence that Dantzic hast
surrendered to the Russian arms. No particulars
whatever are yet arrived. The courier says that he
was on the point of departing with other dispatches,
when Prince Wittgenstein received the official ac-
count, and would not delay him any longer than to
give him the simple fact—Dantzic is taken. We ex-
pect the particulars every hour ; if they arrive before
the post goes, I will endeavour to send them.
P. S. To be able to send the hoped-for particu-
lars of the taking of Dantzic, I have delayed as long
as possible continuing my letter. I come this mo-
ment from the Secretary Of General Tettenborn, who
informs me that they have not yet received any fur-
ther accounts, though in hourly expectation of them ;
nor can those they have received be properly called
official, though there can be little doubt of the fact
itself.—The affair at Ottersburgh, though not of great
importance in itself (the French lost 1 or 200 priso-
ners and 200 killed), was however brilliant, and a
part of the Legion which was engaged behaved ex-
tremely well."

with the most considerable Burghers, were present at

cerenicsny,

" For• the Ladies, who with true patriotic zeal, had
embroidered these colours with equal elegance and
expedition, was assigned, as a mark of respect justly
due, a particular place near the Altar. The Rev.
Dr.' Rambach, our Senior, held a discourse suitable
to the occasion. The colours, after consecration,
were taken back by the 2d Battalion of the Hanseatic
Legion to the Hotel of his Excellency MAjor.General
Baron Von Tettenborn."

" ALTENBURCH, APRIL is.

" The head-quarters of General Blucher are now
here. This day the following order of the day was
issued :

" Major von Hellwig, of the Silesian regiment of
hussars, formed the resolution to match on the 12th
inst. on the Colleda road, in order to touch Langen
Saalza with his squadron. After a march of 18
hours, he arrived there at midnight. The place was
occupied by 1,700 infantry, 300 cavalry, and six
pieces of cannon, under the Bavarian General Rech-
burg. Major von Hellwig attacked him at two
o'clock in the morning, and as the Bavarian troops had
received orders to march at four, they were all under
arms, and therefore made an obstinate resistance.—
He nevertheless succeeded in capturing two howitzers,
three guns, one ammunition and two baggage wag-
gons, and about 20 horses. The enemy retreated
towards en quarree of Waltershausen. Major Von
Hellwig pursued him for an hour, then fell back
upon Tenstadt. Lieutenant Von Trubenfeldt is
wounded. Our loss is small : it consists of one sub-
altern and one hussar missing, two hussars severely
wounded, and three or four hussars, with 10 or 12
horses, slightly wounded. Major Von Hellwig
praises, the conduct of Lieutenants Trubenfeldt,
Sawedsky, Borchert, and subaltern Schaale."

" BERLIN, APRIL 20.

48 The Staff of his Royal Highness the Prince of
Sweden is already arrived at Stralsund. His Royal
Highness himself is expected there the 20th or 22d.
The Russian troops advancing through East Prussia
amount not to 45 but to 96 squadrons. On the fron-
tiers are 80 battalions, under Prince Labanou Von
Rostow. In Westphalia the inhabitants are forbidden,
under pain of death, to converse with the military in
a manner tending to depress their courage."
44 Official accounts from Major General Von
Thuemen (commanding the siege of Spandau) dated
the 18th, advise, that on that day the garrison suc-
ceeded in setting fire to the Citadel, so that two sides,
where the former old magazines were, are quite
thrown down.

44 Our bombs had also set fire to a powder-maga-
zine in the Spree Bastion, so that it was demclished,
and rendered unserviceable to the enemy."

" LUNEBURG, APRIL 20.

" General Montbrun was forced to Leave us on
the 9th. In several houses money, in sums of 100,
`2OO, and 300 dollars, has been extorted by threats.
All obedience has ceased among the French soldiers,
and the severest measures cannot put any check on
their licencious and disorderly conduct. Almost the
whole Russian-Prussian garrison marched out on the
16th, on the way to Celle.
44 It is known, that fresh troops have passed the
Elbe, near Werben ; and the march of the troops here
is supposed to be connected with this circumstance.
Many Russians have marched through Nebzen, who, 1
it is said, passed the Elbe, at Lenzen.
86 Yesterday, a report was spread here that the,
French were again advancing towards Luneburg.
We hear now, that they had really advanced as far
L as Helzen, but were today driven back by the Prus-
isians and Russians."

84 HELIGOLAND, APRIL 26.

" A Gentleman who left Hamburgh yesterday,
says, at his departure, the account of the capitulation
of Dantzic had not been confirmed."

The KING of PRUSSIA has issuod a Proclamation
for a general pardon and amnesty to all Prussians in
the service of Foreign Powers, but calling upon them
to join the patriotic standard in Prussia within two
months.

Colonel RAINSPORD left town this morning for
Portsmouth, to join the 19th regiment at Ceylon.
It is supposed that the Hon. General A. HOPE, of
the 74th regiment, will get the 47th, vacant by the
death of General FITZPATRICK, and that General
MONTPOMERY will get a regiment.
Thursday the Roscommon Militia arrived at the
Cove of Cork, from Plymouth, and having disem-
barked early in the morning, proceeded on to Mid-
dleton.

Monday, the first division cf the 3d battalion of'
the 27th, or Enniskilling regiment of foot, command
