Prince is draving near the Elhe. We
have hi. FIST bulletio, dated frnm Ora
on the 18th, giving an account
Of tho disposition OF the army under his
command. Great Judgment seems to
have been eyinced in the choice OF the
positions in less than two days 10000
men can be brought in line. An attempt
has been made daring the armis'ice 10
take away the crown princes lie. On.
the 18th, whilst he was reviewing some
troops near Cus,rin, a shot was hred at
him from one Of the batteries 1t tell
within thirty yards of him without doing
him any injury. His royal hlghness
called the French commandment before
him and consented 70 receive an apology
for this violation Of the truce, which no
mao will believe to be accidental.
A Harwich letter, fren an intelligent
corrre sponden,, mentions a report oil a
severe battle having been fought on the
18th, the result OF which was favorable
TO the arlies--but the places where II
was fought is not stated.
OF the amour, OF the force which the
allies can bring iato the field, we have
NO precise account. One letter from
G. ttesburg states Austria to have $50
600, Russia 100000, aud Sweden and
Prussia III, Oo0-in all 477,ooo men,
The Russian force is exaggerated-,he
Austrian, aid Swedish, and Pruss'aD
force is prpbably moderated. VI tho
numbers Bsnaparte can bring into the
field we nave no accurate information.
IF we could credit the French papers,
they would be at least hall amlilion--
That they are large. "e have no aouol'
and large they ought to be to oppose the
mighty hosts against him.
Nine Thousand British troops reached
Stralsund on the 9th, * 1900 men more
remained at Wingrc Sound
Two Danish flags OF truce reached
HeligolaBl before the packet sailed =
One of them i. reported to have brought
the account of the Rupture OF the arms

some overtures 10 our government
We doubt this second rumor.
