HELIGOLAND MAIL .

A Mail from Heligoland arrived this morning.—
It confirms the intelligence of the occupation of Ham-
burgh by the French, and we are sorry to add, that
the proportion of French troops now in possession of
that unfortunate place, according to their own state.
nients, is very formidable., The Ham&urgh Correspon-
dent no longer bears that title, having resumed that of
the "Journal de: Beaches de ?Elbe." We select the fol-
lowing articles, which are, of course, of French ma-
nufacture. The latest papers which we have seen are
dated on ate 2d inst. All the bags of letters recently
tent from this country to Hamburgh, have been re.
turned by this conveyancd :

" HAMBURGH, MAY W.

el Yesterday we heard a brisk fire from the side of
Zollenspeeker. We soon knew that the French had
forced all the passes, and were pursuing the enemey fn
the direction of lkitzenbourg. Towards the evening
w•e saw several battalions enter, which occupied the
public square and most important posts."—(Journal
du Department des Bowha de !'Elbe, June 1.)

" HAMBURGH, MAY St.
g, A moment has not this day passed without our
seeing fresh French troops enter our walls.

" At four in the afternoon, their Excellencies
Marshal Prince of Eckmuhl, Governor, and Lieute-
nant• General Vandamme) reviewed thirty-five batta-
lions of French infantry.
" The inhabitants have not recovered from their
astonishment. It would be difficult to determine
which surprised them the most, the fine appearance
of these troops, or their number. There was in effect
a great difference between what they saw and what
Was related to them, and the physical and numerical
weakness of the French bnttabons. We will imme-
diately give some details respectin7 the manners,'
habits, and acts of the adventurers who Lave just left

to possess these liberators of nations, know Low dearly
it cost them.

44 The Russians had only time to save their persons,
and were not, happily, able to follow their custom
of destruction and fire. We found I'so cannon in
4 marine arsenal, and nearly 80 upon the ramparts.
All the establishments are in the best state. The,
works constructed to make Hamburgh aplare d'armer
are very considerable. All military men are asto-
nished at them, and now consider Hamburgh as a
strong place."

" Hamburgh, May 31.

muhl it is ordered, to every inhabitant of Hamburgh

Private Letters received from Hamburgh this
Morning, by the Heligoland Mail, state, that Marshal
DArousr has levied a contribution of 30 millions of
franks on the inhabitants of Hamburgh. That the
French who were in the town were fearful of trust-
mg themselves within the houses, and had taken up
their quarters in the streets.
It has been currently reported this morning, that
scnie private accounts, received by the above Mail,
mention, that a most dreadful battle had taken place
en the road to Berlin, in which the French are said
b have lost 4D,000 men, in killed, wounded, and
Prlf,ners. The date of the battle is not mentioned,
ur have any other particulars reached us to enable
us tc Erm any idea of the degree of credit to which
the rumour may be entitled.

I rtters from the French Coast, received in Town
mci:Ting, talk darkly of some disaster having
bt:Alitn the French in tl-,e North. Whether this
ihdes to the event mentioned in the preceding
paragraph we cannot determine ; but coupling the
two statements, we are inclined to hope• that we shall
soon hear of an important victory having been gained
by the Allies.

The Spanish officer arrived at Portsmouth from
France is said to be Don CONTREROS, late Governor
i)i, fs;Farragona ; he is accompanied by a French
wholtoya-
has also escaped from ptison. They are
detained until permission is obtained from the Secre-
tary of State for their proceeding to London.
