FROM THE LOWER ELBE, MARCH i.

The laft battle, fought five German smiles from
Koningffierg, has been one of the moa deftrative
in the hiltory of the prefent war. The number of
ki!'ed on both fides is (fated at 30,000. It feems that a
thong column of Ruffians that had efcaped the battle
of Mohringtn and approached the Viftula, was cut
off from the main body, and was not able to force
its way through the enemy without the greateft diffi-
culty, and the lofs f much artillery and men. The
Ruffian center wp.- fix times attacked by the French;
if they had fucceeded in breaking through it, they
would have become matters of Koningfberg, and the
rich magazines in that city. The Polifh infurgents
have to regret the lofs of one of their braveß leader►,
General Kofinfky, who has had the misfortune to be
taken pi ifoner by the Prollians The Pruffian ma-
rauding party, that !:as penetrated as far as Franck-
fort on the Oder, has, it is faid, taken a confiderable
transport of money. Frequent fkirmiffies take place
between the Pruffians and the Polifh Confederates in
Pomerania.
RATTSBnN, FEB. r 7.
According to private letters, moll of the Außrian
regiments have keen fupplied with pack-horfes.
It is not true, as afrerted in many public papers,
that Baron St.Vincaa had left Watfaw, and repaired
to Si. Peterfburgh : he is ttill in that city.

FROM THE MAIN, FEB H.

According to public report, a confiderable Ruffian
fcinadron is to fail from Cronlladt and Revel, early
in the fpring, to attack the iflands in the Archipelago
inhabited by the Greek Chtiilians, while another
fritutdron, fitting nut in the Black Sea, blockades the
Dardanelles. This fyllem was adopted in the war
from 1767 to 1774, by which Conflantinople was
reduced to great extremity, for want of communica-
tion with the Levant. In the mean while, it is cer-
tain that the Porte is fitting out a refpeetable fea
force. Mofl of the Turkilh men of war were built
by French and Swedilh Ihip builders ; and the Em-
peror Napoleon will not fail fending the Captain Pa.
cha fome able fea officers.

The march of 80,000 new confcripts will very loon
commence. The prudent forefight of Napoleon the
Groat is equal to his enterpriling fpirit : thus, while
he lirengthens his rear with ides des pont, &c. his con•
fcripts will form a numerous army of refer ve, ready
to ad upon any emergency.

HOLLAND.

HAGUE, FE8.37.

The tfirh of this month has been fignalized by a
hurricane, violent beyond all example, and very fatal
to the places waffled by the Zuyder Zee, and the
rivers which encircle the ifland upon which Dordrecht
is fituated. The dyke of Rhynland, from the Sand-
port to Amlcrclam, was in the greaten danger of
•being broken, which would have coil thoufands of
lives, and have fwallowed up dime of the richefl
countries in Helfand. Our province would alfo have
(hared a fimilar fate, if his Majefly had not caufed
the Slaperdyke to be repaired lall year. The port
of Amflerdam, the quays, and the vcffels in the X.
have differed confiderably. Something like an earth-
qu4ke was felt at Naarden about midnight between the
B,h and t 9th. Dordrecht has nit efcaped. Many
perfons have been killed by the falling of trees, walls,
and roofs of church towers, &c. We hear fume 'if-
, fliding detail of this kind every day.
