With the *hole of this attny he Was crossing the
Elbe; with a view to force the line of the Stecitnitt&
DAvotiar; who was behind that riser, had with him
20,000 French and 15,000 Danes, independently of
the garrisons of Hatribingh. Ltibeck, Mollen, &c.
which altogetbdr were estitinted at 20,000 more.--
DAvoust himielt is a man of science, and is said to
have strongly fortified the *hole court* of the Steck.
nitz to its -junctiost with the Elbe, taking advantage
of the marshy grounds near it to render the ap-
proaches difficult. His right tests on the Elbe, his
Wt. oft Lubeck, which has a. garrison Of 4000 men,
and the centre of his position is the town of Mallen,
which is strongly fortified; and garrisoned by 2000
lien; There was reason to believe that the Crtowx
Patoca would be enabled to atta:k DAVOLIST in his
position about the &I or 4th instent. .
Besides the above-mentioned forces, the corps of
Zvtow and WINSINGERODE are also at the disposal
of the CuowN PRINCE) as well as the remaining di-
vision Of •BallotosEN's. This latter is employed on
the blockade of Wirtemberg ; whilst Butost, as we
have before noticed, has entered Holland, and Wm-

2INGEADDE remains it Bremen. The French haire
still small garrisons at Rothenburg and Latienberg ;
but these are watched by the Cossacks, and are of
little importance. Hatubtirgh itself has been greatly
strengthened. The weakest part it that toward Al-
tona, where a cannonade would toots make an im-
pression ; but at present the CaoW PRINCE has no
battering cannon with him. Some pita: Wight per.
haps be procured from the ships at the Month of the
Elbe, if it were possible to avoid or silence the bane=
ries at Gluckstadt.

The following has been transmitted to us as a eor-
rect estimate of the French garrisons in Germany.—
Of these, however, some have since fallen into the
hands of the Allies, particularly the large force which
was in Dresden. Stettin, we are aimed too, has
certainly whit/4W, and so has the Polish fortress
of Modlin

Deducting ftom this number 40,000 Lir the garrisons:
of Dresden, Stettin, and Modlin, there will still re-
main a force of 61,500 men, independently of DA-
vovses army ; and it has been thought most advia-
Aible not to leave so large a force unsubdued behind
the Allies ; but first to clear all Germany—to foster
and animate the spirit which is s• universally alive in
that country--to recruit and equip the armies—and
obtain the efficient and entire command of tle-cnun,
tress in the rear—before the great operatibns across
the Rhine are undertaken.

. There are letters in town from Frankfort, which
state, that a Bavarian army had entered Switzerland
and occupied Basle, stitlyaut mitten:*! We are not'
prepared to say that the information is correct, but
if it. is, the Mystification in the French papers, of an
armed neutrality being determined upon by the Swiss
Diet, is unsavelled. That the Swiss are arming it is
yule, but we apprehend it is to maintain precisely
the same kind of neutrality which Austria dis) during
the Armistice. The Swiss have a larger reckoning
to settle with BONAPARTE than any other nations With
this difference, that it has been longer outstanding.
They will,! undoubtedly, fall upon hi a rear, and take
back from him the territories of which he has robbed
them, in the first instance: Their olterior movements
will, of course, be in concert witkthose of all Europe.
It is not to bc wondered that BONAPARTE shoujii send
Negotiators, to Switzerland: This is his last trick—
he is in extremis. ,‘ Treason domestic—foreign Levy."
He has them all to struggle with.

The lastletters fivra Cadiz state; that all the Mem-
bers of the Spanish Government had finally taken
their departure for Madrid, where the seat of Govern-
ment will now, we trust, be permanently established.

We memioned yesterday tha the nrissing East
Indianlan, the Sir GODFREY WEBSTER, was bate at
Bombay on the 20tS July. She arrived there a few
days after she separajed from the home Ward-bound
East-India fleet, near Rodrigues, itt April lan. She
was dismasted in the gale, and suffered match in her
stern quarter from the reitetated blows inflicted by one
of her masts before it could-be it adrift.
