PRIVATE LETTER.

lg On the 19th arrived here Lieutenant General
Count Walmoden Gimborn from the head-quarters
of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, and went the
next day to Luneburg. His Excellency is named by
the Emperor Commander in Chief of the North Army.
General Stuart, who goes as Ambassador to the
Court of Prussia, is arrived here with two Aides-de-
Camp. His Excellency dined with General Baron
Tettenborn. Yesterday his Excellency viewed the
Burger Guard of this city, that part of the Hanseatic
Legion which is still here, the Guard of the Duke of
Mecklenburg, and the rest of the garrison. All goes
on here in the best manner possible. The Hanseatic
Legion amounts to upwards of 3000 foot znd seve-
ral squadrons of horse, well armed and equipped, and
animated with the best spirit. The Burgher Guard
will soon be complete to the intended number of
7200, who are daily exercised—if the same spirit
reigns every where else, and is as well directed as
here, the good cause cannot fail of success.
The Hanseatic cavalry have distinguished them-
selves in several skirmishes. The light troops of
Lieutenant-Colonel Benkendorff are within a league
of Bremen.

66 It is said, the French have left the old city of
Bremen on this side the W eser, and fortified them.
selves in the new town beyond, after destroying the
bridge.—Tettenborn will probably leave us in a few
days, with all the troops he can collect, and make a
serious attempt to deliver Bremen.
66 The English Legion of Von Estorff recruits here
with good success; also another Hanoverian corps
of volunteers—many Danish Hussars, in particular,
desert to them.

,4 At Bremen, the French have shot M. Von Tinck
and M. Von Burgen, Senators of Oldenburg, as re.
bets ; and sent Count Bentinck in chains toWesel."

EXTRACT OF A LITTER FROM THZ MORT SIDE 01 THE
Z.LBZ, 12TH APRIL.

" Since the last sally of the Viceroy from Magde.
burg, the face of things is much changed there. To
conceal his loss, he went in the night through the city
with cavalry saved from the affair at Moeckern, and
the wounded were put in the few still remaining
houses of the new town. General Grenier left the
city with his head bound up, and his Lady followed
him. The Viceroy hastened with his corps to Arche.
riliben, and fixed his head-quarters at Stasfurth ; this
corps, with which are 3 or 4000 of the French
Guards, and a part of the Italian Guard, is estimated
at 30,000 men, including all that the Viceroy has col-
lected ; yet it is not probable that it will wait for an
attack of the Russians and Prussians in the position
in which it now is. All appearances indicate that
the head-quarters will be removed to Halberstadt, to
which place a whole column of coaches and waggons
has filed off. Judges even pretend that it will retire
to Prussian Minden, and not without reason, since
travellers and carriers coming from Mayence, have
nowhere met with French reinforcements, on the way
hither; but on the contrary, last week, two batteries
of artillery and a number of sappers, went from Mag.
deburg to Mayence.

" The garrison does not consist of above 6 or 7000
men, at the very most, of whom only 2500 are
French, the others are Westphalians, who express to
the inhabitants the sentiments of good Prussians :
the artillery consist chiefly of Dutch. There is only
half the- number of cannon necessary, and even most
of these of small calibre. There is a sufficiency of
corn, but not of flour, and of meal but a scanty
stock. The neighbouring villages are pretty well
cleared of forage. Haxo, the Governor, is a resolute
man, and the Commandant, O'Hara, is an Irishman,
brother-in-law to General Clarke.—Davoust was ex-
pected, but on the 9th, neither he nor any reinforce.
ments had arrived.

•" It was on the 6th that the defeated army passed
the Elbe along a bridge of boats, and retreated to
Stagsfurth, except the Viceroy and his Guards, who
remained in the city, but left it also on the Bth, in
the morning."
