Talks loft 4000 men in the left battle when there til-
phies were taken; and that the Ruffians were within

HAMBURGH, APRIL 28.

This day or to morrow we •expel Marfhal Brune
to arrive here from Ratzebur•g ; and 8000 Dutch
troops are on their way hither from Pomerania. The
French, un6ertatn of their fuccefs, have pendently
thrown two bridges over the river Elbe near Amen-
burg. Their fear of a Britifh expedition is unabated,
and as great as ever ; and, in fact, there never was a
more favourable opportunity for a Britith force ap-
i.pearing on the Continent, than the prefent one, which,
if not profited by, will perhaps never offer again.
There is no news from Conftantinople, vioVienna,
but it is certain that the Ruffians are completely mac•
tens of the greateft part of the Turkifh provinces in
Europe, and only need a march of 45 leagues to
reach the capital of the Ottomans.
The French are Reeling away all the artillery be-
longing to the poor city of Hamburgh : they have
alfo fetched away ten waggon loads of cannon balls.
Intelligence of a great and decifive battle in Pruffia
is expeOed here every hour; the greateft preparations
it is underftood, are making for it, and the forces
which will meet in this terrible conflia will, it is Paid
amount to net much lets than 600,000 men.

Laft night arrived a Mail from Hufum, by which
we have received Harnburgh Papers to the 28th tat.
D►►tch to the 4th intl. and other journals. The
Dutch papers are fluent refpefting any event timilar
to that reported two days ago, in a letter from an
Officer on board the AGINCOURT, nor do the Ham-
burgh papers contain the lead information refpefiing
the armies on the Vitlula. All the foreign journals
talk of negociations for Peace, but there appears to
be no other foundation for thefe rumours but the with
which the French have to account for their prefent
inaftivityvand the influence they pads over the prefs
of the Continent.

The military operations in Melia have affumed a
greater degree of activity than has been the cafe for
the three preceding months.
There are reports of the Tusks having fullained a
defeat on the Danube. We hope the next accounts
from the Continent will confirm this intelligence.

A Gentleman who left Hamburgh on the sd inft.
informs us that Tome of the French troops had re-
turned to that place, and that the King of Sweden
had refilled to ratify the armiftice concluded by Gene-
ral Von Es“g on the 26th ult. No new event had
taken place a; hp armies.

It appeargky the.letters and papers brought by the
laa(l)Qn mails, that the Court of Madrid has ex-
preffe4 a•firong difcontent with the Regency of Por-
tugal; licettfing the latter with having affilled the
Btilifit'fqOarfron in -the Plata, With provifions, and
even military' ftores:. The Madrid Gazette contains
a kind of . Manififiz sgainft this breach of Neu-
tiality, as it terms it.—The article itfelf is very
curious, but too long for prefent infertion. The
following extra& may anfwer as a fpecimen" How
is it pollible that the Englifh could ever fucceed in
a land attempt without fuch external aid ?—Were
the Engli(h ever known to fucceed in a iand conq'ieft?
—The Engin arc a race of Iflanders—Water Rau :
remove them from their element, and they are no-
thing.—Their fuperior courage, as it is called, is
nothing but their fuperior dexterity; they know how
to work their (hips, and are brave only in the confi-
dence of their greater chance of fafety. Let the
Englith meet the Caflillians by land, and they will
learn the difference between a Nation of Pedlars, and
an Army of Cavaliers —We challenge them to come.
—gut they are a prudent people, and know better
than to rifque their flake at a fair game.—They will
keep on and off Cadiz— they will block up our ports,
they will burn our fhips—.bat they will never lands"
