sEvENry.rIssr BULLETIN.

The victory of Eylan having frunratrd all
the plans which the enemy had formed againft
the Lower Vitula, has enabled us to furround
Dan'zic, and to commence the fege of that
fortrefs.-But it was necefIary to draw the BAT
tering artillery from the fortrefes of Silef. and
along the Oder, 70 that it had to come upwards
of one hundred leagues through country in
which there were no roads. This difficulty is
now got over, and a part of that artillery is
already arrived. One hundred pieces of can
non are now on their way from Stettin, Cuffrin,
Glegan and Breilau, and in few days we fs1sll
be provided with every thing neceiary.

command at DantZic. The garrifon couGGs of
$4,000 Prnllians and 5000 RufIians. The mum
dations and marilies, fsveral lines of furtifica-
tions, and the fort of Weixelmunde have rem.
dered 1t difficult matter to furround the for
trefs.

so rods of the fortrefs /; we have even attack
