EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED DEMO.

LAND, STH INSTANT.

" A respectable Merchant who arrived here this
morning from Hamburgh, along with a merchant of
that City, states, that they left Hamburgh on Wed-
nesday morning. There were then 5000 French
troops in the town, under the command of Marshal
DAVOUST and General VANDAMME.

" These troops were mostly wretched looking sol-
diers, consisting of Douaniers, Gens d'Armes, Mari-
ners, and National Guards ; and, although the Danes
were supposed to have allied themselves with them,
the French seemed very uneasy, and much alarmed,
and bivouaqued outside the gates of the Town at
night, not trusting to the ishabitants nor to the
Danes, who openly declare that they will not fight
for the French, but against them.
" It was reported and credited on Wednesday
morning at Hamburgh, that a corps 0f.20,000 men,
under Marshal VICTOR (the Duke of BELLUNO)twhich
had been detached from the Grand Army, had been
cut off by the Allies, supported by the Levy en
Masse, on the 27th ult. and completely routed.
‘, The letters from Berlin, of the 29th ult. are very
satisfactory, and such was the confidence entertained
there of the success of the Allies, that orders were
sant to Heligoland for large supplies of Colonial pro-
duce and British Manufactures."
