Harlazr, May I3-Our G7zette contains
the following intelligence, dated Hllens berg.
near DantZic, from the m to the 9Th Of May
Private letters, which we do not fay are off,
cal, but which have fome preten6ons to pub
lie confidence, as they are written by officers Of
credit from the Camp of DantZic, all agree in
ahert'Hg, that the furrender of that unfortunate
CITY is no longer doubtful, hut that it is very
near. The latt parallel, which is now COM
p'etinG, is at mott only 90 PAGES diRant from
the place. Befdes the 600 pieces of heavy ar
tiIery employed, 40 others of the Target cali
bre have arrived. The bombardment, which,
from compatiion to the unhappy inhabitants,
was iomewhat inter ~tted, has begun again with
greater vgour, and will not ceafe till pratti-
cable breach ihaiI be made. An aTau!t will
then be undertaken, which, notwith(tandinp
and the united exertions of the Prufians and
HUMANS, Will, in few hours put our warriors
IN poiietiicn of the city.
Dantzic, it is faid, is half deRroycd, few
honies remain unchanged, and cur bombs and
mniketry, which reach the interior OF the town,
daiIy Kill many OF the folders and inhabitants,
thouh the letter, from want Of dwellings, lodge
In cellars and vaults of churches. The PrulIia-
ans had brought upon the walls great leans,
with chains faftened to them, probably to de-
troy our folders, when they fhould mount to
the ahault; our artillery, however, broke I'll
theie chains, and the beams probably fell back
upon thofe who invented thefe inftcure means Of
defence. We have learnt from deferters, that in
the night of the 1T of May, our bombs killed
General, of Artillery, Major, and hdjutant.
We underftand that the befegers have taken
the mouth of TIE VlRula, one of the mott i'm
portant petitions near Dantzic.--The Rufiians
who defended it loft above 400 men killed, and
500 men were made priloners.
