FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

COPENHAGEN, MAY 9.
Our.accounts from Dantzic are contradiantrin
the extreme ; Anse reprefent the place as likely to
furrendcr every day, and others fay it may hold out
a long time. In the night of the 291 h, the befiegers
three times attempted to norm the place, but were
repulfed each time, and obtained an armitlice of four
hours to bilry the dead.—All the waggons and holies
at Koningfberg have been put in requitition, and
perfons fending a horfe out of the place are fubjed to
a heavy penalty.—A number of (hips have failed
from Copenhagen to Koningfberg, and "othet Pruflian
ports► with provifions.

ROSTOCK, MAY ir.
Some thnufands of peafants are employed in re-
pairing the forti6cations of this place.—Communica-
tion with Swedith Pomerania is no longer permitted.

BULLETIN.
" MALMO, MAT 3.—According to a report made by Governor
General Von Effen to his Majefty, dated April 26, all the gun-
boats, even the decked .noes, have fafely arrived from Uckcr-
monde, at Wolgeß. on the sath Init. Colonel Carden alfo arrived
with his corps at Laffahn by fea.
A courier arrived here ycfterday from Memel, who reports
that nothing had happened between the armies on the 24th ult
The advanced polls of the two armies, however, approached each
other, and a battle was hourly expeded. The garrifon of Colberg
is Paid to have made a fortie, in which the French were treated fo
roughly, that little fear is entertained for its future fafety.
" Some men of war are ordered from Carlfcrona to take on
board topos Pruffiani, who are to be landed in Swedith Posne
rants, thefe troops are to embark at Maisel and Dentate.
" P. S. MAT B.—Reports have bees received here today from
Sackholm and ether places, that &general adtion has been fought
between the French and the Allies, which laßed three days, and
terminated in favour of the latter—but I cannot trace it to any au.
thentic fource. Neguciations for peace are at the fame time Paid
to be going on.
" The King will leave Malmo for Stralfund to morrow, accom-
panied by Mr. Stratton, the Engilib Minilter. The Queen and
Prince Royal, together with the Ducheli of Brunfwick Gels, are
coming to Gothenburg. to pals the Whitfun holidays.
Ten thoufand Pruffians are expcdted at Stralfund immediately''

GOTTENBURGH, MAY 8.
Yeiterday a Swedith velfel arrived from Colberg,
after having carried thither a cargo of herrings. The
Captain has brought a letter for his Owners, wherein
it is mentioned that Colberg is bravely defended
againa the French, who have not yet been able t.
take a firg,le out-work, notwithilanding all the fa-
crifices they have already made, efpecially in pof
Petting themfelves of a flit that cnmmandi the mouth
of the kaihnor. I'ho inhabitants have not the leail
fear that the place will be taken, but on the contrary
think of aaing offznfively.
MAY t I.—His Majeily intends to take the com-
mand of I:is army; which will in a fliort time be
joined, according to the bed information, by to,ooo
Ptuflims, nod 4o.ooo'Btitith troops, who are daily
expe'led to orrice in the :Baltic.

BANKS OF THE ELBE, MAY rt.
The pofitions of the French and Rotlian armies
have not been materially altered for the lalt two
months. They have been confiderably reinforced in
the crtntfe of that time ; but the bad mad.; and the
weather have put a complete llop to Al military ope-
rations. This inaaivity was, not withaanding, inter-
rupted by an attack which the Ruffians made by lea
on Elbing, the refult of which is not yet known. The
garrifon of DantzTc, apprifcd of this attack, flattered
MIN' that the enemy would he obliged to Fa ifc the
liege, which, however, had ru.t taken place on the
3oth ult. as the town was virrouily bombarded on
that d tv. The latch intelligence from the befieging
army gives us reafon to hope, that the fortrefs will
Ilion fall into our power.
Exclufive of the three Swedifh frigates, there are
feveral trinfports at Koningfberg, dellined to convey
6000 men to Stralftind. Generals Blucher and
'Fattenzien, it is Paid, are to have the command of
thefe trvlps. Two t;toufand Dalecarlians lately ar
rived at Stralfund.
PRIVATE LETTER—LOWER ELBE, MAY 13.
Private accounts hate the French to have had
8000 to to.ooo killed in the attempt to (form Dant.
zic ; and the garrifon is Paid to have made a furious
rally with great fuccefs. It is certain that General
Kalkreuth has declared he will furrender on no terms.
It is laid that Generals Blucher and 't'auenzien are
coming with confiderable corps ;—the former to
Stralfund, the latter to relieve Colberg. Nei& and
Glatz Rid hold out. Marfhal Brune has left us
and is zone to Schwerin, and then to Roflock ;—he
is to have the command of an army of 60,000 men,
to be afTembled on the Elbe. before the end of May.
and fo Rationed as to cover the operations of the
Gtand Army. •

KONINGSBERO, APRIL %r.
Three large veffels, carrying from I a to 14 goes,
have been completely fitted out from Pillau, and are
now lying in the Frilch Haff, between Elbing and
Braunfberg. We are alfo extremely :Olive in equip-
ping block (hips and gun boats. The whole coaft is
well guarded by a number of artillery, infantry and
cavalry. On the t4th, Prince William, the Ring's
brother, arrived at the army. The enemy is in-
trenched near Aliked, where he has about 3000 men.
He teems alfo- to increafe his force near *Allertaein
and Hohennein ; but it is thought (hat his principal
force i. between O(lerode, Lobatt and Lauttnhurg,
and all his cavalry between Straffiurg and Reden.
THORN, APRIL a 6.
It is generally Rated, in accounts received from the
grand army, that Ruffian officers have been frequently
leen 1 econnoitring our potition ; and that, from the
number of their elcorts, it is foppofed they are per.
lEons of high rank. At the fame time we learn, that
the Ruffians have incrtafed confiderably in the neigh-
bourhood of 01 tlefburg, from whence a reinforcement
has been fent to Allenttein. Marffial Davoull has a
refpatable force in that neighbourhood. The French
belieging army before Dantzic, is eflimated at
a6,c00 men, and that before Colberg at 8000.
WARSAW,.MAY 4.

The new Polifh flandard of the White Eagle has
been formally contecrated, and an eagle is alto erdled
on the Town Houle. &fides the i-g,OOO men that
are to be railed, Warfaw is to have a national guard,
on; of the molt refpeflable Burghers, under the
Counfellor of State, A. Potocky.
VIENNA, MAY g:
The Emperor, Who was indifpofed a fhort time at
Buda, is quite reftored. The Archduke Charles has
infpeEted the military preparations at this place and
at Pea. • The Prince of Albeit Plefs is arrived here,
-and a Pruffian Courier has' paired through this city
I to Buda.

AUGSBURG. MAY 3.
On the 3oth ult. the t6th regiment of the line,
(infantry) marched in here from Brefcia. Among
them is the !harp (hooter who (hot Lord Nelfon in the
battle of Trafalgar. This mai is now a lerjeant, and
a Member of the Legion of Honour.
Yetlerday evening General Boudet's divi6on broke
up for Sunny, and to morrow he will be followed by
Monitor's divifion. We obfcrve a number of Ger-
mans in the French ranks.

LEIPSIC, MAY 3.
Our fair, which is jolt ended, refembled a market
where a death.like Mem: prevailed, and no bnfinefs
was tranfatned, becaufe neither the Greeks nor Polifh
Jews were prefent, and confequently,the fireets which
they frequented were empty. Molt of the inns were
deferted ; and the city reales which were formerly
fo much frequented, had nothing to do. The Polifh
Jews not doing band's by commillion, fpecie was
fcarce, the coniequences of which were much felt, as
well by foreign as native merchants.

At a late hour laR night we received the Ham
burgh Papers to the 13th, Dutch Gazettes to the
16th, and journals and letters by the Gottenbnrgh
'Mails of the 9th and trth initant.
From thefe it appears there was no truth in the re-
port circulated of a battle having taken place oA the
3d inßant. In point of fall, nothing of importance
had taken place at the main armies up to the 4th
infant.
It appears, however, that the French, of whore
vigorous attacks on Dantzic the laR Mails fpoke with
lb much confidence, have been completely foiled in
that quarter. After a furious bombardment, they
had ventured to affault the place; but they paid
dearly for their temerity. Some of the accounts
(late that their lofswas not lets than to,ooo men killed
and wounded. They could make no impreflion on
the town, and were at laR obliged to beg a few hours
truce, which was granted them. to enable them to
bury their dead. Tice journals under French guidance
maintain, however, that the place mull foon fur•
render.

The Ruffians are Paid to have made an attack upon
Elbing from the fea, but with what fuccefs is not
mentioned. It is on this, their left flank, that the
French, though apparently flrongeft, are really molt
vulnerable. No efforts or precaution of theirs, can
fecure them againft the confequences of the attacks
which the command of the Baltic will enable the
Allies to make upon them.
