We have received authentic letters from Vienna,

to the Emperor has paffed through that city, with an
account of the defeat of General Michelfon, and that
the Ruffian fleet had fled from Tenedos, and was

The Grand Duke of Berg commanded the manoeuvre. At no

" The Journal of the Sege of Dantzie will make known, that
our troops have lodged themfelves in the covert way—that the fire
of the town is extinguithed ; and will give the details of the fine
operation which General Drouct dirated, and which was exe-
cuted by Colonel Aime, the Chief of Battalion, Arnaud of the ad
Light Infantry : end Captain Ayy. This operation put us in pot-
reffinn of an mind, which was defended by a thoufand Ruffians,
and five redoubts mounted with artillery, and which is very im-
portant for the Sege, fince it is in the back pnfition which our
troops were attacking. The Ruffians were furprifed in their guard

having time to defend themfeves, and fix hundred were made pri•

" The weather is growing milder —the roads are exeeillent--the

buds appear upon the trees—the fields begin to be covered with

" The Emperor has eitablithed at Magdeburgh, under the orders

The inflow ing is the fummons feat by Martial Le-
febvre to General Kalkrenth
GaNICRAL—Frora efteem for your Excellency, and out of
compaillon for the Inhabitants of Dantzic, I have hitherto not made
ufe of all the means in my power to compel the place to furrender.
I believe that your reputation, long tince effablilked, cannot Puffer
in the leaft degree by the furrender of Dantaic, as you muff know
that the Swedilb army was totally defeated on the t6th and ryth,
and on the Ilith was obliged to engage, neither diretltly nor indi-
redly, to afford any affiftance to Colberg or Daotzle ; and, in line,
it muft be clear to your Excellency, that, under fuck circunaftan-
ccs, any hope of relieving the place muft be groundleli.
" That you may preferve the molt important place remaining
in the Pruffidn dominione for the PrulUan Monarchy, and in con-
fideration of the poor inhabitants, I truft that you will relinquilla
the credit of defending it only a few days longer. Under this per-
hafion, I require that you will put me in aetual poffcMon of Dant-
ale, Bifehofsbag, Wciiiimunde, and Neufahrwaffer.

" P. S. f have ordered the firing to eeafe till the return of M.
Abne, the Adjutant Commandant, the bearer of this letter."

guard that the letter your Excellency has been pleafed to addrefs to
me, had no manner of relation to the furrender of Dantzic Trutt-
big to that affurance, the Officer on guard received the letter, not-
withftanding my exprefa orders to the contrary. You will fcarcely
doubt of my confelentioufnefs, in the point I allude to ; and I have
fo good an opinion of you, as to flatter myfelf that you will excufe
it. Such an experienced foklier as you are, muff know as well as
myfelf, that no Commandant can ever liften to any proporals, as
long as there Is no bleach in the works—a breach through which
twelve men might pafs abreaft ; and I am alto very far from be-
lieving that your Excellency can be ferlous, in requiring a man of
honour to be guilty of an act of bafenefs. You with me to confi-
der the interelt of the inhabitants of Dantzic; they have nothing
-more to loft, ani like myfelf are willing to wait in quietude the
iffue of the war. AU that I can do, is to tranfmlt your letter to
the King my Mailer. I am, &c. KALERILUTEL"

It is certain that our Monarch has again given or
ders to General Kalkreuth, to defend the place to the
lad extremity, and airured him that he might expca

BERLIN, MAY 200. From Ms Telegral6 )
The Ruffians perceiving the impoffibility of attack-
ing the front of the French army without expofing
themfelves to very great lots, undertook to lave
Datitzic by a landing, which was effeeted on the r 2th
in the entrenched camp of Weichfelmunde, on the
bank of the Villula.
The divifion of General Oudinot arrived on this
bank almuft at the fame time with the Ruffians, and
fliut them tip in Weichfelmunde, where they were
obliged to take refuge. On the isth, in the morning,
Lieutenant General Kamenfki, who commanded the
difermbat ked troops, attempted a fortie at the head of
7000 men, when in three columns, with a view to
take the illand, of which the French had been in pof-
frill m feveral days. He was completely repulfed,
and loft woo men, including fume prifoners, among
whom were feveral officers. He returned to Weich-
felmunde in the gteateft confnfion, after the 12th
regiment had fallen upon his flank and routed it.
The (battered remains of the Ruffian troops under
the command of Lieutenant General Kamenfki, are
dole)), blockaded up in Weichfelmunde, and car. have
no communication with the city of Dantzic. Thefe
troops have to contend with coofiderable forces,
among which arc the Divifiin d'Elite and the Volti-
geurs, under the command of General Oudinot.
General Lemarrois has let fire to a great number
of rafts which the Ruffians had built on the Bug.—
He was oppofed on this occafien by 6oco men, who
were defeated.

MAY 21.--Further official accounts from the Im-
perial Head-quatters at Finkenflein, announce the
following events: The General of Brigade Beaumont,
Aid de Camp of the Grand Duke of Berg, and the
General of Brigade, Albert, at the head of two bat-
tali ins of the divifiun of Ondinot, the 3d and t ath
battalions of Chaffeur, and a brigade of Dragoons,
have defeated and put to flight a divilion of the
enemy, which endeavoured to penetrate by the Na-
rew. This divifion was attacked on the 16th of May,
routed and purfued 15 leagues to beyond Dahlberg ;
it 101 l 900 prifoners and four pieces of cannon. This
enterprize of the enemy was cnnne&ed with the expe-
dition of Lieutenant General Kaminfki ; both were
intended to effeEt the deliverance of Dantzic.

On the 13th the enemy attacked Gen. Lemarrois,
uho at the head of a Bavarian brigade and a Polifh
regiment had paired the Narew to burn the rafts
which the enemy had conarueed fix weeks before at
Nyozkowo. All there rafts were burned. The enemy
appeared before the entrenchments of General Le.
marrois, but were defeated, and left many killed on
the field of battle. Marfhal Maffena at the fame mo.
ment paffed the bridge of rultrifle, and fell on the
rear of the enemy. Some Coffacks advanced to at•
tack the head of the bridge over the Armlew, near
Drenzewo ; they were repulfed. The General of
Brigade Girard, at the head of the 88th regiment,
made 150 Coffacks leap into the Narew, and took
from them fifty 'iodic.
Artillery has been brought into the covered way
of the balfmoon before Dantzic. The fire of the
enemy from Hackelfberg has been (Hence&

WARSAW, MAY x 3.

Oar Gazette contains the following intelligence,
dated Halentberg, near Dantzic, from the to to the
sth of May—
Private letters, which we do not fay are official,
but which have fome pretenfions to public confidence,
as they are written by officers of credit from the
camp at Dantzic, all agree in alerting, not only that
the furrender of that unfortunate city is no longer
doubful, but that it is very near. The lag parallel,
which is now completing, is at molt only Go paces
didant from the place. Betides the zoo pieces of
heavy artillery which are now employed, 40 others
of the largeft calibre have arrived. The bombard-
ment, which, from comraftion to the unhappy inha-
bitants, was fomewhat intermitted, has begun again
with greater vigour, and will not ceafe till a praftica-
ble breach dull be made. An affault will then be
undertaken, which, notwithftanding the obilinate
defence of General Kalkreuth, and the united exer-
tions of the Pruffians and Ruffians, will in a few
hours put our warriors in poffeffion of the city.
" Dantzic, it is Paid, is half deftroyed ; few honks
remain undamaged; and our bombs and linufketry,

which reach the interior of the town, daily km many
of the foldiers and inhabitants, though the latter,
from want of dwellings, lodge in cellars and in the
vaults of the churches. I'be Pruffians had brought
upon the walls great beams, with chains faflened to
them, probably to deftroy our foldiers when they
fhould mount to the affault; our artillery, however,
broke all thefe chains, and the beams probably fell
back upon thofe who invented thefe infecore means
of defence. We have learnt from deferters, that in
the night of the ill of May our bombs killed a Ge•
aeral of artillery, a Major, and an Adjutant."
Letters from the camp at Sieroek fay, that the
right wing of the Grand Army, confiding of the
fifth corps, and the Bavarian and Polifh troops, had
advanced towards Pultufk, in the neighbourhood of
which the Ruffians are collefting all their force. The
Bala divifion, under General Lemarrois, together
with the Bavarians, paired the Narew on the 9th, at
three in the morning, without the lots of a man. On
the part of the Bavarians, one officer was killed, and
three privates wounded. On the other hand, the
Bavarians killed four Coffacks, upon whom they
found much money. M. Staniflaus Potocki, Colonel
of the fecond regiment of this divifion, headed it
when it paired the Narew.
The Ruffians retreated from the Narew, apparently
towards the main body, which is concentrating near
Pultuflc.
The Governor General, and the Senator Gouvion,
have publitbed the following, dated May 12 :.•••
" While the Polifh troops before Dsntzic and
Graudentz, and thofe of Zayoneck's divifion, elver
themfelves with glory, thofe who have lately marched
from Warfaw, under General Lemarrois, vie with
their compatriots in bravery and aCtivity.
" General Lemarrois, who, with his divifion,
pallid the Narew on the 9th, ezpreffes his uncom•
mon fatisfadion with the lance:hearers of the firft
Polith divifion. A detachment from this corps of
cavalry, only too in number, had a.brilliant affair
yefterday with about three hundred Coffacks, thirty
of whom were killed, an equal number wounded,
and the ref put to flight. Major Szumhlanfki, who
commanded thefe lance•bearers, had only five killed
and two wounded, and returned to camp without
being followed by the enemy. General Lemarrois
alfo fpeaks highly of the condat of the Bavarian
troops, when paffing the Narew. The Chaffears of
Braun particularly diftinguilhed themfelves. This
unexpeeed movement of our troops acrofs the Narew,
has occalioned the Ruffians to burn the floating rafts,
which they had colleeted at Wyfkow."
MAY ig.—While in the North of Europe every
thing announces hoftilities, rumours of peace prevail
in the South. Almoft all the Gazettes allure us. that
Ruffle accepts tke mediation of Auliria, which is
Paid to have already been accepted by France and
Pruflia ; they affirm that Berlin is the place where
the congrefs is to be held. The arrival of M. Novo
zilz ,ff at Memel, and his long conference with the
King of Pruffr a, occafioned the above rumours, which
ceafed on his fudden departure. They were renewed,
however, in confequence of the frequent conferences
of the Emperor of Ruffia and the Pruffian Monarch,
and of the great number of couriers difpatched by
them. Yet while their Majeflies hold conferences at
Keydeleu, hoftilities have recommenced on the banks
of the Narew. The Grand Duke Conftantine arrived
as a warrior rather than a negotiator, and brought
with him the Imperial Guards, the whole artillery,
and all the difpofable troops, the new Militia alone
remaining at Pete' (burgh.
