STRAI.SUND, MAY et

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince landed or
the 17th inst. at Monasgut. near Perth, and pissed
the night at the castle of Pulbus. The next day he
arrived here, and was met by the Generals and Mem-
bers of Government on the Fah rbrucke, whence he pro.
ceeded under the thunder of cannon, the ringing of
all the. bells, and amid the joyful acclamations of the
populace to the palace of Government. He was ac-
companied by the Field-Marshal Baron Von Stedingk,
the Court Chancellor Watterstedt, and several other
Officers of State. The Prince, immediately after hit
arrival, inspected the new fortifications. In the
evening, the Coancil.House and the city were illu-
minated.

On the 18th, in the evening, also arrived here the
Duke of Cumberland, and remained till late in the
evening of the 20th, when he set out for Neustrelit2.
On the 20th, in the morning, three battalions
marched from hence for the Mecklenburgh territory,
and other troops arrived from the country and from
Rugen.

OCCUPATION OF HAMBURGH BY THE
EItENCH.

We are sorry td announce this distressing'event,
which took place on Sunday. It seems to have been
the immediate consequence of the failure of the siego-
clarions commenced by Deninarit, with the view of
enabling that Power to take the field in support of
the common cause of nations. Again we say tha
this is a most distressing event', and so far as it has
been brought about by human agency—the misguided
cr selfish pblicy, which has thus given up a brave and
generous population to indiscriminate massacre, can-
set be too publicly denounced or too extensively exe_.
crated. Where the blame lies we pretend not at
resent to discriminate.—Our Readers will perceive,
that as the Danish force which occupies Hamburgh,
in conjunction with the French, is far more numerous,
there is some probability that the latter will not be
able to put BON'APARTE'S threats of vengeance in
execution :

H2LIGOLAND, MAY 31.

We have jest received the unfortunate intelli-
gence that Hamburgh again felLinto the hands of the
French yesterday evening.
a At eight o'clock on Sunday morning Major-
Ceae:al Tettenborn; with all the military, left it, after
issuing a Proclamati•>n to the Inhabitants, telling
them he could no longer protect them, and that it
Was of Louse left to them to do what they pleased.
At nine o'clock 4000 Danes, cavalry and infan-
try, and 20 cannon, entered the town, and a French
General rode alongside of the Danish Officer, who
headed the Danes. Prior to the entering of these
forces, negotiations had been entered into between
the Citizens and Military Commandant, at Altonz,
and it was stipulated• the Hainburghers were to de-
Ever up their arms, &c.

" Between seven and eight last night, the French
who had crossed atWilhelmsberg entered Himhurgh,
atter having been fired tipon by thi inhabitants of the
Deip, dose to Hamburgh, of whom several were in
consequence cut down. The douaneers and gens-
tl'armes headed their column."
HARWICH, JUNE s.

4 The arrival of the treating smack this evening
has disappointed all our expectations, and we have
the melancholy task of announcing the occupation of
Ilitnburgh by the French oh Sunday evening last,
thrthigh the treacherous conduct of the Danes, who
entered the City, from Altona, 5000 strong, in the
morning of that day ; and in the- evening gave up
the Jnhappy inhabitants to experience every misery,
and we tear, unexampled cruelty from their ruthless
ifivaders, 1500 of whom v►ere admitted at six o'clock:
Irhe the French commander was we have not heard,
but suppose it must be the same force that had pos.
tssien of the adjacent islands."

By the two Heligoland Mails which arrived yes-
tetchy, we have received some important communi-
cations froth our Correspndent at Hamburgh. They
detail the occurrences at, that place up to the moment
cf ;ts hostile octupation by the French and Danish
Mops. The particulars with which we are furnished
tirbugh the same medium, respecting the recent
great battles, still bear us out in our opinion—the
Allies have never yet been defeated.

PRIVATE LETTERS.
" HAMBURGH, MAY 25.

" In continuation of my last, I proceed to inform
you that after the Danes had left us on Wednesday
tver.ing, and the posts were all occupied by the Cid-
:er,s, the French threw, during the night, a great
tumber of shells and cannon balls into the city, which
lilted two persons and wounded four or five of the
Guard. Happily the shells did not cause fire tobreak
cut any where. The French fire was silenced by a
most extramdinary circumstance, which it is pretended
i 5 :ell attested. A ball from our side entered the
mut!' a French cannon, at the moment it was
loaded ; it instantly went off—the terrible colli-
sion caused the cannon to burst, and 26 men in the
battery were either killed or wounded by the explo-
nn. Something like this at least certainly happened.
03 Thursday all was still. On Friday two battalions
bf Swedes arr4e4.--General Tettenborn went to meet
then, and the Bamiler•guard was drawn up to re-
'e've them oa their entrance, and, as well as the as:
stmLled pe.,ple, gave them a joyful huzza.
" Friday night the French, on rafts and in small
7e"4.15, favoured by the darkness of the night, sur.
Prised the guard-ship in our harbour, and were ac-
tually carrying her away, when they ran her aground.
ne Burgher Guard, supported by the Swedes, now
began a terrible fire of small arms, and soon obliged
the few French on board the ship to demand quarter.
killed
had on this occasion, it is supposed, 200 men
and wounded, but only ten or twelve prisoners.
On Saturday night the French again threw a great

,

hurnher of shells, which broke an infinite number at
windows, and killed two persons ; but nowhere caused
fine to break out so as to be dangerous. Some balls
struck the steeple of St. Catherine's Church. Since
then'all is quiet, except that yesterday evening we
could see from our ramparts a smart engagement be-
hind Harburg.
" The French lying between, we cannot know
either who were engaged, or what was the result;
but the French seemed to retire, and it is said the
Prussians and Russians are in possession of Harburg.
But nothing is Made known here of what measures
are intended to be taken, as we have a horrible ntun-
ber of Spies."

46 HAMBUROH, MAY 28.
" The Emperor Napoleon, it seems. finding the
position of the Allied Army near Bautzen so strong,
wished to entice them out of it without a battle, and
made a diversion witlia strong corps towards Berlin;
but this being repulsed, as stated in my last, he was
obliged to risk a battle oh the 21st and 22d, but
without attaining his object. Yet it is of the highest
importance to him soon to obtain some decisive ad-
vantage; without which, his situation must become
very critical. The Allied Army becomes daily
stronger by the numerous reinforcements which join
it; and, besides others which are soon expected,
25,000 reconvalescents from the field•hospitals have
returned to their corp., 8000 new-raised Prussians
are arrived, large detachments of Cossacks are has-
tening through Poland, and Lieutenant-General Ba-
ron Sacken is marching through Silesia to the army
with his corps, having forced the Poles assemtled at
Cracow to lay down their arms and return to their
homes.

" Meantime 8000 Cossacks, under fourteen leaders,
have appeared before Dresden, in, the rear of the
French army, harassing it exceedingly, p.lrticularly
by cutting off its supplies, of which it has extreme
need, being in a country that is almost eaten ups pri •
soners declare, that for three days they have had no-
thing to eat. Desertion is great, and the proximity
of the Bohemian mountains makes it very easy : two
battalions of Croats have deserted in a body; a body
of Spaniards has also deserted. None of the Princes
of the Confederation of the Rhine seem to have cou-
rage to repair the faults of so many years against the
Emperor and Empire, by a change of conduct. Ten
thousand Bavarians are in the French army. The
soldiers, in general, are otherwise disposed than their
Princes, and tired of being misemployed by the
French. Napoleon received the King of Saxony very
angrily, and forced him to dismiss Baron Senft von
Pilsack and General Langenau,,ihe advisers of his
unhappy conduct. The Manifesto of the Allies
against the King of Saxony will appear in a few
days, and offer to support the nation, betrayed by its
Prince to misfortune and infamy.
44 As fur the situntion of Hamburgh, it has been
very singular and problematical. In the night of
I Tuesday the Swedes left us without any one's being
able to assign the reason. Some say they were come
without orders from the Prince, others that the Danes
had declared they would regard their stay at Ham-
burgh as a declaration of war; others thought that
they would cross the Elbe higher up to attack tile
French in the rear, and so cortipel them to abandon
the islands which they still occupy opposite us. But
it does not appear that any Swedes have yet passed
the Elbe.

" On Thursday morning and this. Morning about l,
1900 Prussians of the corps of General Doernberg
arrived here ; last night a great many boats were
put in requis;tion, as it was thought to convey the
Prussians o?er to Wilhelmsbutg to attack the French,
but this had not been done, nor do they seem to be
yet strong enough.
" This morning early the French again threw
some balls and grenades into the town, which did no
damage. They_ would probably long since have
done us much more hArm, had not the heaVy rains
and the high floods of the Elbe rendered their situa-
tion in a swampy ground very inconvenient, and im-
peded their works, by filling their trenches with water.
Their situation must certainly be, on the whole, bad.
Deserters say they are in want of all kinds of provi-
sions, except meat, and that they have a great num-
ber of sick. It were heartily to be wished that we
were rid of them.

,s Another unpleasant feature of our situation is,
the interruption of the direct correspondence with
England. The Danes have refused to let the two
last mails of Friday and Tuesday pass, and they were
sent on Wednesday to Lubeck, as I suppose this will
be. Nor will they stiffer two mails lying at Heligo-
land to come up ; so that till the Hanoverian side of
the Elbe is cleared from the French, all communica-
tion must be by a round-about way. This dissension
between England, Denmark, and Sweden, at so cri-
tical a period, is highly to be lamented; for the harm
it does to the common cause.

,g The Danish Government complains of Bern-
storff's being sent away from London unheard, and
being only told that no peace could be treated of but
on the basis of Sweden's claims, and with its concur-
rence, in another place than London ; and these
claims being adverse to the continued union of the
sister kingdoms Norway and Denmark, the war, we
have reason to fear, will still be continued. In
Altona many people have sent away their families,
from an apprehension that the Bnglish gtm-boats will
force their way and bombard the town : a groundless
fear surely. Others with mote reason fear fur Cupen-

Private letters received this Morning, by the *ity or
Heligoland,fron)Hamburgh, Mention, that the Danes
entered Hambutgli on Sunday morning 9000 strong,
commanded by a French General, who took possession
of Hamburgh,in the name of Na POLEON: On their en-
trance, the Danes issued a Proclaination, stating, that
all persons and property should be protected if they
submitted peaceably to the French Government, which
they have done. They then salt boats to Wilhelms-
burgh, for the purpose of carrying the French troops
to Hamburgh.

Gottenburgh Papers were received last night to the
25th ultimo. The CROWN PRiNCIL had arrived at
Stralsund on the 18th, and after remaining there one
hour only, put the whole of his troops in that quarter
(about 15,090) in motion. He himself proceeded to
Lubeck. Baron ENGESTROM, Swedish Minister for
Foreign Affairs, has published a circular to all Com•
manders, &c. in which he states, that DOLGORUCKII
having exceeded his instructions at Copeqhagen, had
been recalled from that city, and ordered not to ap-
pear at head-quarters; and also that England had
determined not to make peace with Denmark on any
grounds not perfectly consistent with her relations
with Sweden and Russia. The report that Austria
has joined the common cause is, we fear, a repetition
of an unfounded rumour. The Austrian Ministers
have certainly much to answer for: hundreds and
thousan3s of our fellow-creatures have perished with-
in these few weeks, whose lives would have been saved
had Austria shewn some firmness at the outset, and
felt some sympathy for the calamities inflicted upon
that part of Europe of which sbe was once the Pro-
tectress. Shame and disgrace upon that Government
which, through weakness or selfishness, can be indiffe-
rent to the shedding of human blood, and permit
crimes to over-run the earth like a torrent, whilst, by
a single step, it could have put a bar against the
career of the Destroyer !

A letter from GottenbArgh,' dated May 29, says,
4, We have accounts from "Stralsund up to the 20th,
they contain nothing new. Different accounts from
Vienna say that the Emperor has declared in favour
of the Allies, and marched 80,000 men to join them-
-Intelligence has just been received here of an
American schooner privateer, with six 4-pounders,
having come disguised into Rora, a srissill harbour be-
tween Marstrand and the Wiugo. This information
was immediately forwarded by the British Consul to
the Commander of his Majesty's i.:hips in the Roads,
and there is no doubt she will be taken care of."

A Mail from ,Limaica, with Papers to the 27th of
April, ha 4 arrived. The following are extracts :

" JAMAICA, AP:? :I. 2,2.

ordered to sea this morning, for the purpose a col-
lecting the vessels of the homeward-bound fleet.
44 His Majesty's ship CYANE may be hourly ex-
pected from Porto Bello, with almost half a million,
of specie.
4, Upwards of 200 prizes have been carried into
Bermuda since the American war, and a considerable.
number into Halifax."

.6 We learn by recent accounts frlm Carthagena,
that the Indians from Scenega had offered' to come
under protection of the President of Carthagena, and
that Santa Martha was about being put in possession
of the Independants. Sir Gregor *Gregor has been
appointed to the command of 1200 Men, by Presi,
dent Narino, of Santa Fee, and had penetrated into
Ventuel.t. General Boliver, with 2000 men, had
beaten and dispersed an army from Caracca, and was
following up his success."

The remark of the enlightened SPEAKER of the
House of Com Mons, that the Catholic Bill as lately
proposed, would neither prove acceptable to the Ca-
tholics of Ireland, nor to the people, is fully verified
in the former particular, at least, by the conduct of
the Catholics upon receiving intelligence of the fate
of the Bill. The Irish Papers are filled with Resolu-
tions frotn Roman Catholics against the Bill as it ap-
peared in its amended state. We are happy to ob-
serve, that all their Resolutions are couched in tem-
perate language, and display an unabated spirit of
loyalty.

Yesterday St. Paul's Cathedral was crowded, in

by the Bishop of Chester ; the Coronation Anthem
and several Psalms were sung and chaunted by the
