the Mollen-gate, covered by a double
water, and advanced works, had it
power to effect his retreat while there was no bridge
upon the Trave ; and according, to the uniform re.
ports of the Engineers, 24 hours would have been re-
quisite to throw pile over.
• The troops entered the town at ten at night.
ci The enemy retired upon Segeberg. General
Wallmoden is marching upon that point, and General
Skioldebrand began this inorning.at 'six o'clock to

second, by means more efficacious than,mere wi4hes,'
the efforts of the army which came to restore to them
their name, their rights, and independence; they were
ready to join their arms to those of tiTe assailants.
This brave resolution is an appealto the inhabitants
of Hamburgh.
" Lubeck new resumes its ancient denOmination of

of commerce again waves on its walls. Thus shall
Justice always destroy the edifice raised by violence.
" The King of Denmark must see in the capitula-
tion granted to his troops, that the door of reconcilia-
tion with Sweden is not yet closed. He has only to
lend an ear to the prayers of his subjects, to the wishes
of the inhabitants pf the North, and to the generous
proposals of Sweden and her Allies."
