OSTERODE, NIARCH 4.

Yeflerday an attack was made upon (very pnint
of the Rattan advanced pits. Martha Ney, fop
ported by General Miraud's and fume oilier
corps, entered Guttlladt by force, where they leized
fixteen thouftnd rations of bread, eighteen tons of
weal, four hundred facks of Pars, &c.
Martha' Soult paired the Paffarge near Leibltadt,
2nd approached Vs'ormditt—to day his head quarters
are at Dretrechfdot I, on the other fide i.f the river.
The Prince of Ponte Corvo advanced at the lime
time againli Ivloh'lack; after having crotT.d the Pail
large near Holland. It is thought that the Emperor,
after giving the Ruth ins this flew lcfron, will order
his troops to retire into winter quarters. The third
corps of the army, whole head quarters are to-day
at Liebtladt, was to ilet as a corps de referve, but its
fettrices were not wanted.

HOHEWEE!N, FEB. 13.
The following is the fitu 4tion of the grand army,
according to the IA accounts :
The Prince of Ponte Corvo occupies Braunfberg,
Ming, Franenberg. Holland, and the whsle coati
up to the mAuth of-the Paifarge, which river covers
the van of !pis army—M &stilt occupies Lieb-
fladt, M-hrongen, and Liebmithl ;—and Marfhal
G;itritadt, Heillbeig, and Allenflein, at which
place lie has axed his head quarters. Mar 11141 Da-
yowl is at flAcnilein and Gilgenbnrg, and keeps an
atten•iv- eye upon Wilt tenburg, Paffettheim, Weis-
burg, Willenherg, the fources of the Palfarge, the
A lie. and the Omeletf ; this lan river, by the chan-
nt I r f the NlArew, empties Welt into the Viftula, and

anircmcn..
General Oudinot's 6vifinn paned through here
yetterday, and to-day it is in motion to pats •he Pal.
LIPS, and compel the enemy to retreat. The left wing
of the French army have, for three days pall, been
c.,nibating the enemy v ith manifeft advantage; gocu

this period. •I'he third corps of the army is approach-

Laa night arrived Paris Papers to the 23d, and
Dutch to the 27th infant, and this morning a Den-
mark Mail, bringing Harnburgh and Aitona Papers
to the 25th. They prefent hardly any thing new

The pains taken at Vienna to fupprefs every idea

off from them all their fupplies. It was alto reported

PRIVATE LETTER.

•' Altona. March 24.

" Late yeflerday afternoon the arrival of fevcn
Englifh mails in Denmark was announced on the Ex-
change of Hamburgh, together with the intelligence
contained in the London Gazette of the ich intlant,
announcing the molt r igorous blockade at the mouths
of the rivers Elbe, Wefer, and Ems, a meafure which
will completely fill up the miferies of the Hans
Towns, particularly thole of the city of Hamburgh,
where it is impoffible public diltrefs fh old gir to a
higher pitch than that to which it has adually arifen.
The Hanfeatic merchants look upon Great Britain as
their guarclan angel, but their hopes of a fpeedy de.
liverance have hitherto been wholly fi nitrated. Every
moment rumours prevailed of Btitifh expeditions
havir.; landed in Cuxhaven, in Lubeck, in fome of
the pmts of the Baltic, &c. The non arrival of the
mails for fo long a time teemed to fandi'm thefe re•
ports to loch a degree that the french Minifter Boor.
rienne himfelf felt Gi frightened, that he hired car-
, riagcs to park up his valuable', and left ltders to.

his attendants and menials to hold themfelves in rea:
diners to fet out at the (torte(! notice. Even Marfbal1
Brune felt fo awed, that he left tiamburgh for Lu-1
beck, where he fommoned the citizens, and delired
their Magibates to arm them for the defence of the
city, in cafe of a defcent on the part of the Mita at
Travemunde. So far were Napoleon's fatraps and I
Mors frightened in this quarter, but the arrival of
the mails, alas, undeceived them ! Brune is alfo
going in a few days to make a voyage of infpeSion
at Bremen, and give orders of defence in cafe of a
defcent."

ALTONA, MARCH 24.

On the t9th inft. the French toll fhip Rationed at
Stade, carrying iz grins and 7; men (foldiers and
Tailors) was boarded by two boats belonging to the
Britith frigate Rationed at the mouth of the Elbe,
and carried without the lois of a man on the part of
the Britifh.

HNMBURGH, MARCH 23.
His Excellency Marital Brune arrived here this

WARSAW, MARCH to.

His Majesty the Emperor was expetted here an

although his Majesty did not arrive on that day, ue
fill flatter ourfelveb that we than have the happinefs
of poffelling him lbortly within our walls.
The Emperor Napoleon•has pawed to the Polith

BANKS OF THE ELBE, MARCH 23

The head quarters of the French, which were Rill
at Ofterode on the 14th init. will not, it is laid, be re•
moved fo foon as was expeaed. Nothing of impor-
tance has occurred in that neighbourhood fence the
end of laft month. B tth armies are occupied with
receiving new reinforcements. The French direr
themfelves in great ftrength towards the corps of
Mai fhal MASSSNA, at Warfaw ; which, according to
every appearance, will not long remain inar9ive.
General Bennigfen was Rill at Koningfborg, the
latter end of February, and was ill with the fatigues
of the fevere campaign he had made ; the army under
his command, which was never fo numerous as wa,
Rated, was much reduced by the loges it Inflained at
the battle of Eylau ; the reinforcements which it re
ceives come on fledges from the fartheit provinces,
among them are the regiments of Guards from St.
Peter (burgh.
The Court of Praia is Rill at Mem4. Among
the perfons who are with the King are Mars. Knee-
riz, Lombard, and Bayme. Since the battle of
Eylau, thete have been two reports of peace. to
which, however, not much confid.nce is attached
It is Paid, even at this moment, that the Marfhal of
the Palace, Duroc, is gone to St. Peterfburgh for this
purpofe.
The Bamberg Gazette of the 17th March, Rate,
on the authority of travellers arrived from Brannan
at Augfburg, that that neighbourhood is perfealy
tranquil.
The report which was fpread, that they wntked
with the greateft a4livity at the fortifications of
Brannau, is deltitute of foundation.

VIENNA. MARCH rt.

It was in confequence of an interpofition frora a
very high quarter, that his Imperial Majefly was
pleated to remit the punifhment of PrinceAu IR SPE Itc.
Yellerday another courier arrived at the Ruffian
Ambaffador's, Count RA ZUMOWSK Y ; the difpatches
are dated at Landfberg, in Eall Pruffia, February 27.
From all the meafures taken by our wife Govern
trent, it is plain that our Court is determined to ad-
here firmly and unalterably to the fyftem of neutrality
fo long anted upon. Every thing has a peaceable
and tranquil afpeEt, and we are only endeavouring
to defend our frontiers againft any hoftile attack ;
the f rmewhat flrong recruiting of late arifes from
this reafon alone, viz. that all the regiments accord.
ing to the terms upon which they are railed, muff he
filled up by a certain time ; and in the lafk year it
was impoffible, from circumftances, to procure the
ufual complement of men.

CONSTANTINOPLE, FEBRUARY 1 E.

The Porte continues its meafures to prevent the
forcing of the Dardanelles. The fortifications are
ftrengtkening, floating batteries eresfting, while the
fquadrun of the Captain Pacha there increafes daily.
Batteries are alto railing from the extremity of the
Seraglio to the Seven Towers. The fame is d ,ing
at Leander's Tower to the end of Scutari. Twenty
thoufami men are already affembled at Gallipoli, to
oppofe any landing that may be undertaken by the
Englifb.
On the 7th fevtral Members of the Diplomatic
Body received letters from Mr. Arbuthnot, dated on
board the Admiral's fhip Canopus, off Tenedos. He
declared in them the realms lately mentioned for
his abrupt departure, and affured, at the fame rime,
that he hau no other intention than to place himfeif
in a fitua.ion to continue his negoriations with fafety.
They are, in fad, really continued by means of the
Captain Pacha.
In the mean time, a circular Note, jun publifhed,
gives little hopes that the Tutkilh Miniflry will ac-
cept Ms prof:l44li ; and to day we hear that an ',IN-

mom has been fent to th e Engin Miniller, IL;
contents of which are in fubfl4nce as inflows:—

s, That the Porte did not find it proper to enga
in nfficipl nerciationo with a MiLitter who had l:ft
his poll, and that it was therefore refolved to kr.ii
the explanations required by his Britith Maid,' di
red to London."

As Coon as the Porte vas informed of PASWAN
Oczou's death, Houasciiixt Pact's, formetly Gu.
vernor of Cairo, was appointed to fucceed him. We
hear that 6000 Ruffians have attacked the.Tuilcs at
Giurgewd, but have been driven back, with the loft
of Soo men. The departure of the Grand Vizier
feems to be. deferred to the next payment of the /Atli.
zaries, which will be in fix weeks:

Six Ruffian men of war anchored at Chula, i 4
Alia, but two ran aground near %Varna, and were
taken by the Tittles. In the beginning of Apia,
when the Vizier takes the command of the fltioNi
Tut kith Army on the Sou•h fide of the Daol/4t,e,
Perfians will invade Georgia. An aiiiiince i. col
chided between Per fa and the Porte, to whici, Flarct
will fhortly accede.
Flea tuty 19 —The Porte regards the departure
of Mr. Arbuthnot, without taking leave, as a des
elsration of war, and has fent orders to Smyrna and
other ports, to lay an embargo on all Englifh Alps
that can be feized. To fatiafy the Servian infurgents,
the Porte has, by the advice of a great Power, granted
them all the tights and privileges they deflred.
effect they have not committed any hoflilities, ane
goods belonging to Turks pared unmolefted through
Servia.

COPENHAGEN,"MARCH si.

Three French privateers, fitted out at Stettin, are
raid to be in the Baltic. it fh.pper arrived at Elfi.
neur fags, that one of them, of fix guns and too
men, has landed at Bornholm, and taken in prin.
ions. On the 18tti, two of ;he Swedifit (hips of the
line, in Koeger Bucht, paired by here to Landrerona,
to fetch troops to Siralfund—the third anchored here.

• LOWER ELBE, MARCH ;s.

For this week pall, the molt extravagant reports
have been circulated here, of ib: total defiruelion of
the French army, &c. The truth teems to be, that
nothing of any great importance has happened
fence the battle of Eylau, the weather, and want of
provifi,)ns being a great hindrance tof the proofs
of both armies.

INDIA, sco.

Orders have been given to hurry off the troops for
India. The JUPITER, a 56 gun [hip, which has been
appointed convoy to the Cape of Good hope, will
fail on Monday next with all the lndiamen and troops
Slow ready.
Betides the 2d battalion of the ill or Scots Royals,
ani the ad battalion of the 56th, the 2d battalions of
the 18th and mill regiments have been ordered im-
mediately to Falmouth. The tBth was intended to
join the 19 battalion in Jamaica, and the tot to
proceed to Halifax, but it is not improbable that their
deßination may be altered.
Should there four regiments go along with de-
tachments, it will make a force of soco men for '
India ; and this number of Europeans will, it is
thought, be fully fufficient to quiet the difturbances
which have fn unhappily arifen there.
The Duke of KENT, like the worthy Colonels Gf
MoR of the regiments lately gone to foreign climes, has
gone down to take leave of his regiment before they
embark. Nothing more endears the Officer to the
roldier than fuch attention at fuch a time. This fine
battalion, commrnanded by Colonel Svastritar, muf-
ters 1200 men.
His Royal Highnefs arrived at Portfmouth on
Sunday. Yefterday morning, after having been
waited on by Admirals Mom-racy( and COFFIN ;
Major General Sir GEORGE PREVOST ; Brigadier
General WET HERA LL ; Colonels the Baron de Rol-.
vrttatmou, the Honourable J. RAMSAY, Mete,
TEIROTT, HEYNE, RAVENSHAW, MOARICR, &C. At
nine o'clock he proceeded to Hilfea, and continued
with his regiment, the Royals, till fix o'clock, when
he dined with Sir GEORGE PREVOST, the,Lieutenant
Governer of Portfmouth.
The tfl battalion of the Scots Royals is in the WeR
Indies, and the 3d and 4th battalions of this regiment
the °ldea in the Britith fervice, are at Boxhill, in
Suf ex.
The zd battalion of the 18th, or Royal Regiment
of Ireland, is likewife upwards of a too (troop they
taped their worthy Colonel, Sir JAMES PULTENEY,
SO fee them before they Gil.
While fome reports affign a feat at the Admiralty
to Sir HOME POPHAM, others fay that he will have
a command on the India Ration.
Sir Davin BAIRD is mentioned as not unlikely to

fucceed one of the three Lieutenant-Generals turn
ing from India moft probably, goes to Madras—a
thirty years fervice in an eafie►n climate particularly
qualifies this gallant Officer for the fituation at the
prefent arduous moment, when dccifion and refolu-
tion arc fo much wanted.
