HAMBURGH, APRIL 20.

Major-General Von Tettenborn, with persevering
zeal and unwearied activity, urges on the business,
so happily begun, of restoring to our city its ancient
rights, and also of supplying the means by which
those rights may be maintained with energy.
Under the direction of his Excellency, and through
the active co-operation on the part of the inhabitants,
who have exerted themselves to accomplish, and even
anticipate the noble wishes of the General, the raising
of the Hanseatic Legion has gone on so successfully,
that above 3000 infantry, and a number of squadrons
of cavalry, completely equipped, have already, by
daily drilling, acquired no small degree of expert-
ness ; and, full of zeal in their country's cause, are
ready to follow their leaders into battle.
Not less care has been bestowed in securing the
defence of the city. The General daily inspects the
works on the walls, and in the suburbs s already all
the breast-works are finished, and Hamburgh might
now await in tranquillity, even a considerable corps
of the enemy. The Burgher Guards are to be raised
to 7200 men, and that number will be completed in
a few days; they are daily exercised in the use of
arms, to receive the enemy, should he approach, with
the energy of patriotic warriors, resolved to defend
their liberty and property. The raising of these
Burgher Guards will be of incalculable advantage to
the city for the future. When to all this is adJed,
that wherever the victorious arms of Russia and of
the United Powers advance, the good-will of the
habitants furnishes them with all the resources of the
country, without any violent measures, but freely
and cheerfully, it must be evident that there is no
reason to fear for the good cause, but every reason
to hope that the issue of the contest will be of the
happiest nature.
According to the latest accounts the Russian light
troops, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel
Benckendorff, have advanced within a mile of Bre-
men ; in this advance they took about 50 prisoners,
three of whom are officers. The cavalry of the Han-
seatic Legion has had an honourable share in various
skirmishes. The volunteer Hartung has besides dis-
tinguished himself by taking prisoners some gens-
d'armes, Oita in reward for his bravery has been ap-
pointed an officer by General Von Tettenbosn. Toe

booty taken by Hartung was given up by him for
tbe-equipment of the Hanseatic Legion.
The head-quarters of the Imperial Russian army
were expected to be in Dresden on the 22d.
r Yesterday Lieutenant-General Count Wallmoden.
Gimborn arrived here from the headquarters of his
Majesty the Emperor, and soon after departed. His
Excellency has been appointed to the command of
the Northern Army by his Imperial Majesty.
General Stuart, Envoy to the Prussian Court, ar-
rived here on the 18th, with two Adjutants.

COTHEN, APRIL n.

Today the head-quarters of Count Wittgenstein
are in Dessau, and those of General Yorck in Co.
then, whilst the outposts of the army, which on the
9th crossed the Elbe at Rosslau, are on the Stale,
from its junction with the Elbe as far as Nienberg,
Bernburg, and Alsleben.
General Winzingerode is in Halle, and thus the
coinmunication between the carps of Wittgenstein
and Blucher is kept up. The French have entirely
evacuated the Lower Saale, and in therm of Bern.
burg many prisoners have been taken by the Cossacks.
FRONTIERS OF SAXONY, APRLL 11.
Various parties of light cavalry belonging to the
earth of Blocher have been pushed forward to Jena,
Weimar, and Erfurt, without meeting with any
French. The headquarters of General Blucher were
on the 10th at Rochlitz, and were soon to be re-
moved to Leipsick, where it appears to be the plan to
unite the corps of Wittgenstein and Blucher, and
then to give battle to the French force posted at Mag.
debnrg, which is estimated at 50,000 men.
The main body of the French force appears to be
assembling at Wurtsburg.
Leipsick is to contribute- a considerable sum for
the payment of the Russian troops. Yesterday twenty
five thousand crowns, and to-day thirty-six thousand
were to be paid for that purpose.
The Emperor of Russia, with the guards, was exs
petted on the 20th, at Dresden.
A strong tete-de-pont is to be erected between Loch.
witz and Dresden, to be defended by redoubts on thq
heights on the right bank of the Elbe.

BERLIN, APRIL 15.
•
From the Lower Elbe the French who had lately ad.
vanced thither, have again retreated to the Qld Mark.
Davoust, whose force is now estimated at not more
than eight thousand men, is at present entrenching
himself at Salzwedel. By a parallel march General
Dornberg's corps has advanced to Domitz ; and ae.
cording to the West accounts, had again crossed over
to the opposite bank of the Elbe. The Swedes are ad.
vancing by forced marches to the Elbe. We also ,
learn, that they have not only reached that river, but
that sit thousand of them crossed it at Gartau.

Through East Prussia are marching at present SCI
battalions. and 45 squadrons of Russian troops, for
the army.
It is not expected that Modlin can hold out long,
as only the body of the fortress is completed, and it
has no outworks.

The Imperial Russian army, under Field-marshal
Kutusoff, thirty thousand strong, with two hundred
pieces of cannon, was expected at Lubben, on the
15th, and will reach the SaXOR confines by the end
of this month.

The corps of General Miloradowitch, on the 7th
and Sth, passed through Buntzlau. '1 he corps of
Count Woronzow is expected in Berlin from Frank,
fort, on the Oder—it consists of seven regiments of
infantry, and two of cavalry, and has with it much
artillery.
The King of Saxony, it is said, positively refuseci
to obey the order requiring him to repair to Frank-
fort. The Polish Corps, which still remains at Cra-
cow, 'ender Poniatowski, and whose strength is va.
riously estimated, has requested permission to march
undisturbed to France, which of course was refused.

Ten thousand stand of arms, accoutrements, and
ammunition, have been landed for the Hanoverian%
who expect the Duke of Cambridge, their former
Governor.

APRIL 17.—Private intelligence states, that the
head-quarters of General Blucher were, on the 130,
at Chemnitz. .

We learn for certain, that tome days ago the Saxon
General Thielemann. Governor of Torgau, had a
conference with the Russian General Count Witizin-
gerode, at the Inn of Eilenburg, the nearest.post sta-
tion to Torgau. The Russian General was escorted
by fifteen Don Cossacks, and the Saxon by the same
number of Dragoons.
The bridge between Stettin and Damm has been
burned down, probably from the effect of the fire of
the Swedish gun-boats. This morning early. Span-
dau was strongly cannonaded,

In the Old Mark the following circular has been
;limed by the Westphalian authorities ;

" ZROVISIONING OF TUE FORTRESS OF DIAODESUROs

"To the Mayor of the Canton—ln pursuance of the orders of
the Prince of Eckmuhl, you wUI make known to the different
Communes, that if they do not convey to Magdeburg early to.

BANKS OF THE ELBE, APRIL l&

After the defeat of the French at Mockern, tlry
retreated towards Magdeburg ; but only the Generals
and the Viceroy with his guards entered that city.
On the evening of the sth, the wounded were con-
veyed over the Elbe by a bridge of boats ; and in the
morning of the 6th. the rest of the troops crossed over
in the same manner, and marched to Stassfurth. 011
she Bth, the Viceroy and his guards left Magdeburg.
The garrison left in that city does not exceed sev,
thousand men, of whom .nly Y5OO are French. The
rest are Westphalians or Dutch. There are freq•cent
quarrels between the French and Westphalian troops.
The Governor Halo is a resolute man ; the Com-
mandant O'Hara, a native of Ireland, is the brother-
in-law of General Clarke. The tcrtress is well s,11)-
plied with grain, but not with flour; and of meat
there is by no means a superabundance. It has not
more than halt the number of the requisite cannon,
and these for the most part of small calibre.
Atter the battle of Mocker% Lauristou was alio":
for three whole days.

They announce the arrival of BONAPARTE at Mentz,
but nothing on the subject of his new campaign.—
We have given some entracte in another pert of alit'
Parer, but the article to which we wish particularly
to call the attention of our Readers, and which
cannot fail to sink deep into the heart, and iti leave a
Wong and lasting impresSion on the feelings of op-
pressed humanity, is the following :
BREMEN; At.RII. 5.
" Yesterday a special Military Commission, assem-
bled here, condemned to death HERMARN Faust, aged
26; RENEE BOSCHE, 29; HERMANR MERRIL NEUCHALIS# ,
21, all dwelling at Blinn, in the arrondissement of
Oldenburg ; and GEstD HARMS, aged 46, living at
Tetieds, near Blezen, wpb were convicted of having
boine arms against Prance, and taken in the flagrant
crime at the battery of Blexen. This judgMent was.
culled into execution this morning, near this town.
The property of the condemned was Confiscated."

Here we have a second edition of the cold-blooded,
infornal massacre of Moscow; and we shall have
wore in succession, if measures of retaliative retribu-
tion be not resorted to in defence of loyalty and pa-
triotism, so dreadfully outraged by the execrable
wretch, who makes it a part of Ws policy to outface
every principle of law and justice.

Is NAPOLZON alone to be blamed for this dreadful
outrage ? This is an important question : nor dove
hesitate to say, that this fresh outrage would never
have been ventured upon, had a just vengeance pur-
sued the satellites and ministers of his ferocity at
Moscow. Why have none of the individuals who
were the obedient tools of the Tyrant at Moscow
been punished ? /Will it be said, that none of the
wretches who executed his will in that city have ever
fallen into the hands of the Russian; or Prussians ?
/Why were they not tried for murder, by a Military
L'outhsirs. los—and the official avowals of the Mositeur
lead in evidence—and due justice executed upon
them ? Had this been done, we would never have
heard of the trial and execution of Germans at lire-
Men, for daring to fight' for their families, their
homes, and their common country
While we applaud the motives which dictated the
forbearance of the Russians, we cannot but reprobate
the false humanity which has led to these fresh mur-
ders. The Rulers of Europe owe high duties to their
subjects and to mankind. The remedy for every des-
perate ease should be suited to the exigency. If such
enormities be left unpunished, farewell to patriotism,
farewell to all those noble energies which embolden
men to face the greatest physical dangers. Allow
but the moral foundations of social order to be under-
Mined, and the whole fabric must be crumbled into
rains. Assail the tyrant with his own weapons, or
he will triumph over you by the seducing power of
unpunished impudence and audacity. What are his
Generals but the willing instruments of these outra-
geous enormities? Make them personally and indi-
vidually answerable for the murders of their horde.
4—Consider them all as equally culpable, and by a
Military Commission try them as members of
the band, and mane them for the murder of the
people of Moscow and of Bremen.—The voice of
humanity and of justice calls loudly for this salutary
proceeding / Have these no power over you? your
own safety impels to it. You have no alternative but
either to extirpate by a horrid 'vengeance the prin-
ciples which assail the foundations of all allegiance,
cr to become ultimately the victims of these princi-
ples. Are you ignorant of the moving springs of hu-
man actions? If you are not, give your own cause
and that of your subjects the benefit of your convic-
tions. The blood of your niUrdered brethren calls
aloud for vengeance. Your own ultimate ammo
end fafety require it !

The story of BONAPARTE'S death has again reached
ts this morning, as will be seen from our Deal letter.
His arrival at Mentz, however, as stated in the Paris
Papers, directly contradicts the various accounts of
his deah. In the mean time, it is rather singular
that Captain PAGET, of the Navy, states, that a young
Frenchman, whom he found on board the American
schooner from Nantz, captured by him, says, that Bo-
YAP.% RTE was certainly shot at on the parade at Paris,
by a man in the ranks, but he ;missed him, and in-
stantly shot himself. The Frenchman says he was
present and saw it. This may hive given rise to the
rumour brought by the FLYLNG Fisu, that the Em-
peror bad been shot in his way to the army.

Captain. HAMILTON, Commander of one of the
Harwich Packets, arrived last night at the Foreign
Office, in Downing-street, with Dispatches for Go-
vernment. He left Hamburgh on Friday last. His
dispatches, it is said, state that the French are falling
back from the Elbe.

Au accounts concur in stating the Hanseatic Le-

most respectable, but formidable nature, and that all
classes of people, from the Count to the Peasant, are

COVE OF CORK, APRIL 21.

His Majesty's ship VIRAGO, Lieutenant PITTMAN, I
arrived here yesterday morning from Plymouth, which
place she left on Saturday. On her passage here,
she fell in with a large frigate, in the chops of the
Channel, between Scilly and Ushant, supposed to be an
American, and die same that chased the TCAZER gun.
brig. When she discovered the enemy, who sailed re-
markably well, she was to windward, and bore down
,on them, with a press of sail; but fortunately a fog
coming on, they were enabled to escape her. The next
day, however, they discovered her to leeward, when
she tack:d and stood after them, till sun.st. The VI-
RAGO had to stove some of her water, to lighten her.
When the Virago left Plymouth, Admiral KEATES,
who is daily expected here, had his flag flying on
bC•ard the QUEEN CHARLOTTE. A number of ships
is dropping is for convoy for North America.
