JUNE 2i. We have as yet no Official accounts
of the late battle. What ftems to give a GER
tain plaufbility to the rumour of the French
having occupied Konig iberg on the 18th in
ftant, is an advertisement inherited in the Ham
burgh Correfpondent of this day, in which the
public are Informed, by the officers OF the Grand
Duke of Berg there, that letters will be taken.
and even forwarded gratis to DaRtzic and Ko-

6 1t has been currently reported on the Ham
burgh Exchange this morning, that, fince the
French entered Konigiberg, the RufIians, ha-
wing been joined by their referve, attacked and
defeated the French, with great lofs on the 10Th
Infant; but this ruTour found but little credit.

will probably decide whether Europe has vet a

the late caIantous occurrences in Poland had
arrived. It is trsnFe that no particulars of the
battle Of the 18th had tranfpired at Berlin five
days after. The Paper Of the goth, pubi0led
in that city, gives indeed fveeping refult. but
carefully abitains from defending to particu.

Prince BorGhefe psFed through that city, on
his way TO Paris, vi h an.drcount Of that dinin-
guiihcd Victory. why was not the fnbRancc
of this glorious intelligence made public at Ber-

back from Gen. Clarke, the Governor Of that
city or fupprclied by him, with which this
Prince Borgbeie WAS dispatched as an cxpref5

and Berlin Is not 70 great but thlt all the occur

anxiety We naturally catch at any crcumR ances
tending TO dlniDiih the credioiIity OF the enc

from the Imperfect commune tion in the Rer-
