The Amelia, Captain Bovo, is arrived off the Ifle

contliling of about aoo fail, on the 3oth ult.

Government, we underitand, ha►e received a con-
Situation of the account of the deftrultion of the
Dutch Otitis at B.ita►ia by Sir EDWARD PELLEw.,—
The number of ir ads taken and defiroyed amounts
to Turenty.k.

French Journals to the to inflant have arrived, I
but their contents are of little importance. The ac- L
counts received of the preparations in our ports for
an expedition to the Continent, have occalioned tome-
alarm for the vulnerable points on the enemy's coati.
At Fluthing, in particular, they are,very apprehen-
five of a vifit, and are making prelsafatiots,to repel_
any attack that may be made 0n.them.,...N.c,...

In former Mositeurs the patriot-Km, zeal, and Ira:

there was no reludance perceptible among them!
Government has at length received Official Ac-
counts of the Capitulation of Dantzic. They were'
difpatched by an extra Packet, and left Gottenhurgh
on the zd of the prcfent month. It appears by there
accounts; that Dantzic furrend.:rei on the 26th ; the
ftore of provifion and ammunition being wholly ex-
haulled. We are happy, however, to add, that con-
fidering the extremity to which the city was reduced,
General KALRIEUTH has obtained terms which he
had no reafon to exped, and for which we find it
difficult to atEgn any fufficient reafoo. The whole of
the garvifon, amounting to zo,ooo men, have been
, liberated on their parole—upon the Pole condition of
not (*crying sgainft the French for om a YEAR AND A
DAT. From this it may be inferred, that NArotson
meets to terminate the war within the prcfent cam-
paign. In any other Rate of things be would not
have thus releafed fo efficient a body of men as the
gartifon of Dantzic. An important quetlion here
recurs—upon what ground does Brotermerh build
this prefuniptive expectation of the (bon duration of
the war ? Does he trait to his fortune, or to any
'Negotiation already.. in Progreft ?
As fothi 'as the gairifon marched out, the enemy
took polfeffiou Of pantsic with a confiderable force.
The remainder of the befieging army proceeded on'
its way to reinforce the line on the Prffarge. As Coon
as this reinforcement should arrive, it was eakuhred
the grand French army would amount to abotitillo,OCer,
or roo,ooo men. The Ruffians, we ate lorry to 47,1
were by no means to numerous, amounting to` about
40,000 men at aloft. They had this advantage,hisw.
ever, to counterbalance their numerical inferiority
they were all aduated by the fame fpirit. A cone-
doable part of BONAPARTAIS army, on tke contrary,,
conliftad of the Getman Contingents and Poles, upon
whole fidelity no great reliance could be placed on
dangerous or critical occalions.
The French got poffeffion of about feventy fall ofl

learn, there was only one Englifh
Letters from Pillau (peak in the highell terms of
the uncommon gallantry difplaycd by the Ruffians,
in their efforts to relieve Dantzic. In the adir.n of
the 15th, a Ruffian regiment continued to engage fey
veral battalions of the enemy, until it was reduced to
twenty-feven men and one Officer, and the IA defpe-
rately wounded. Thefe letters ate far from being
warm in praife of the Pt uffian troops, and exprefs no
little furprife and difratisfaftion at the furrender of
Dantsic. It would, however, he unfair to judge the
Commander by there partial reprefentations. We
mutt referee our opinion repelling his conduct until
we have both his report and the next French Bulletins
before us.

Government have received difpatches from Lord
