SEVENTY-FOURTH BULLETIN. Rinkenatein , May 16, 1807. Prince Jerome having discovered that the Advanced works of Nviss, which were along the 1 Pilan. cramped the operations of the seige, or dered general Van Damme to take them. This general, at the head of the Wurtemberg troops, carded these works in the night of the 30th ■ and Ist of May ; he pit to the sword the ene my's troops which defended them, made 120 prisoners and took niite pieces of cannon. Ihe captuins ol engineers Dcpontbon and Frost, the lirst an officer of the ordnance of the emperor, marched at the head of the columns, and gave proofs of great bravery. The lieu tenants Hohendorf, Rawer and Mulle particu larly distinguished themselves. On the 2,1 of May lieutenant general (Jama re r took command of the Wurteniburg divis ion. Since the arrival of the emperor Alexander at the army, it appears that a grand council of war has been held at Uartenslein, at which the kmg ol Prussia and the grand duke Constan tine assisted ; th.it the dangers wlm li Danizick run was the object of the deliberations of the council ; that it was acknowledged that Dant zick could not be sewed, but in two wavs ; the fi st in attacking the Fieiich army by passing tlie Passurge, ami thus, by tunning tht chance ot a gi oral battle, the issue of which, ‘fit was successful, would oblige the French army to inmover Dantzick ; tln- other hv securing the place by sea The ties', operation appears not to have been judged practicable, without expo sing themselves to ruin and u total defeat; they therefore stopped at the p an of securing J) .mtziek by sea. In consequence, lieutenant general K.tmin is\i, son ol the field-marshal, with two Russian divisions, forming 11 regiments, and a number ot Prussian regiments. were embarked at Pil lan—On the 12th, 63 transport vessels escor ted by three t.igates, landed these ti'oopsat the mouth of the Vistula at the port of Dantzick. under the protection of the fort Weischcl muiulc. The emperor immediately gave, an order to the marshal commanding the corps of teserve >!’ the grand army, to repair to M.menberg. where was his head-quarters, with the division of general Oudenot. to reinforce the army of marshal Lefcbvrc. He arrived in one dav, and at the time the enemy’s armv was debarking— On the 13. h and 14th. the enemy made prepa rations for attack ; he was separated from the city bv a space of at leasjt a league, which was occupied bv French troops. On the 15th, he came out of the fort in three columns ; Ins project was to penetrate bv the light ol the \ istnla. The general of brigade, S, nruinm. who was at the advanced |osts with the 2d regiment of light infantry, and a battal ion ol baxous ,u.d I’olcs, received tlie just me of the enemy, arid confined him with in gun snot of the cannon of VVerschelrnunde. Marshal Lefebvre repaired to the bridge si tuated lie low the Vi.vula, and passed over tin 12th light inlantry and the Saxons, to suppoi 1 general >chramm General Gardaiie charge, with the defence of the light of the Vistula, ul so supported him with the rest of his force ; ihe enemy found himself snpeiior, and the combat was sustained with eqi al obstinacy. Maishal haunts, with the ieserve’ of ()udi not, was placed on the left of the Vistula, by whic h it appeared the evening before, that the enemv intended to eon.e out ; but seeing the movements of the enemy ur.masked, marshal Lum.es passed the Vistula with feur battalions of the reserve of Oudii’ot. ‘1 he whole ot tht ine, arid the reserve of the enemy, wcie pul to route, and put sued to tlie palisades ; and at nine o’-lock in the morning, the enemy was Lit haded in ‘he foil of V ersthelinui.de.

In the evening, we saw a great numhet ol wounded,which they embarked on board the le v els which succes sively made sail, to ivim to Konigsbu i . D. - ring this action, the pi. ee n . tie no souie. but contented ltscll with suppoiting the Piussiaus by a b.isk cannonade. From the height of lib rtiinctl and half de me'ishetl rampaiis the enemy was a witness ol :..e whole alfi.ii ; lie was in a consternation in see the hopes he had of succour van ish. General Outlin'd killed wi ll Ins own Iv.nch three Russians. Several of the eu.-.najo s were wounded—tne 12th and 2. 1 iegiinentt of light inland v disiinguished themselves.

The Russians also presented themselves at Mulga before general Z.iyoncheck, com .land ing the Polish corps of ooscrvatiori .aid cairiec off a Polish post. General Fesher innroiK',; on them, overthrew them, killed 60 men. u c .i ----oncl anti two captains. J iiey also presenter! themselves before the sth coi ps, and insulted the advanced posts of general Gagan, at Wii lemherg, this general pursued them for sever al leagues. They attacked more seriously the tete du poi :t of Aimilen'atid Dtenzeiro. The eneral of brigade, Gerii tl, marched to them with the 88th, and overthrew them in die Naren. The general of division Suchei, arrived, pursu ed the Russians with the bayonet at their bucks, overthrew them at Oshelenka, killed 60 men, and took 60 horses, The captain of the 64 h, Lau in, who commanded the murine guai and, sm louiided on all sides by the Cossack, put on ike best countenance and merits to be distinguished. M irshal Massena. who had mounted his horse, with a brigade of Bavarians, had reason to be sa istied with the zeal and good countenance of his tro. .ps. The same day, the 13th, the enemy attacked general Leman ois, at the mouth of the Brig. Phis general passed that river on the 10th with a Bavarian In i ;ude and a Polish regiment, had const fueled in three days the works of a tete du point and had repaired to VVickowo, with the intention of burning the curtains which the en emy had worked at forsix weeks. His expedi tion succeeded perfectly, every thing was burnt, •and in one moment this ridiculous work of six weeks was annihilated. l’lic I3ih, at 9 o’clock in the morning, 6000 Russians arrived from Nur, attacked general Lemarrois in his intrenched camp They were received with musketry and grape shot, 300 Russians remained on the field of battle, and when general Lemarrois saw that the enemy which had arrived at the edge of the ditch were repulsed, he made a sortie, and pursued him vi it li the bayonet at his hack. ‘Flic colonel of the i'll ol the Bavarian line, a brave soldier was killed, he is generally re ‘vetted. The Bavarians lost 20 men ami 50 wounded The leaves begin to appear, the season is like the month ot April in France. 1 he whole of the army is encamped by divisions and squaie battallions in healthy posi tions. These events of advanced posts have occasi oned no movement in the army. All is tran quil at head-quarters. Tnis general attack of our advanced posts on the 13th, appears to have been intended to employ the French army so as to prevent the rei: forcing the army which besieges Dantzick. 1 his hope of succouring Dantzick by a military expedition, will appear vciy exitaordmary toeverv well irUornied inili taiv man who knows tlie ground and position which the French armv occupies.

Fiesh stores a rived from Stettin. A'iffht of the fourth May : Attack of Hake Is berg.—We prolonged the sap five fathoms and made a cross-way. Three times dining the inuise of the day, we tiied to continue it ; but the few pieces which the enemy kept at the an gles and behind the cross-ways, constantly knocked down the head of the sap. Artillery.—The enemy opened new embra sures towards the shoulder of the right bastion, and armed some lower batteries. A part of our fire was directed against these new embra sures. We fired 160 C shots during the course ot the day. AFighl of the fifth Alan : Attack of Hukrl. - berg. —We prolonged the sap five fathoms, and m ilea cross-wav.

Might of the sixth May : Attack of Hukel - berg. — The sap was prolonged five fathoms ; at day break it was only eight fathoms from the angle of the covert w ay. During the day our fire was so well kept up, that the enemy’s was of no avail, and the sap was carried on the whole of the 7. h ; so ihat in the eve.iing it was only four tuthoms from the covert way. 1 he sup against the bastion continued in like manner night and day. Lieutenant Aiaicciot of tlie sappers, was wounded Artillery.-—We fi: ed 2700 shots during the night and day. Captain Bum of the aiti.lcry, was killed. Lowt r Fistula and Peninsula. —Marshal Le febvre resolved to get possession of the island formed by the Vistula and tlie Canal. Gene ral Drouet examined the situation and works with attention. The adjutant-commandant A\ me, was charged with the expedition with 800 men, drawn from the different corps of the besieging troops. About ten o’clock in the evening, the ponto niers launched ten barks, each capable of con taining 25 men. We embarked 50 grenadiers, of the Paris guard, 200 men of the 2d and 12th of light infantry, 50 artillerymen, miners and sappers. Atone o’clock the 12 barks advanced with oars. The enemy’s posts perceived this move ment and fired a few musket shots and two can nons loaded with grape shot. The pontoniers pulled harder at tlie oars and in fiv e or six min utes the landing was effected Captain Avy, aid-tie-camp to general Drouet, matched with the 50 grenadiers of the Paris guard against the first redoubt, and carried it without firing a shot. 7 he adjutant commandant Avme, marched against the redoubt of the left, and the chief of the battalion Armand against the intrenchmcnts of the point of the island. The Russians who defended this extremity of the island, kept up an iil-i'iiected fire in the middle of the night, and fell back Our heads of columns drove them with the bayonet, entered pell-mell with them into the principal redoubt, and answered their screams by a cry of long live the em/ie ror ! I lie rest of the Russians continued to retreat along their intrenchmcnts. when the troops of general Gardanne, who, at the first signal of the landing, had passed into the sland by cross ing the canal, cut ofi'all retreat from the Rus sians. Those who ccaped the bayonet were made prisoners. l'he success was complete on the left as soon as the second division of Baden troops and of the legion of the north had effected its landing. The intrenehments which protected the re doubt ot Kalkschantz were cui lied. A hundred and eighty private soldiers and four officers were made prisoners and two pieces of cannon taken. In the mean time, capt. Avy drove the enemy from the last redoubt which served him as r tete de pout on setting out from the canal Thenceforth we became masters of the whole of the island. V\ e took 300 men from the enemy in this engagen ent, three-fourths ol whom aie Rus sians, 20officers and 17 pieces of iani.( n. The enemy leti 300 killed in the intienchn.ewts, amongst whom is the Russian major, who had the Command of the island. Our loss has been but trilling, 36 wounded, 9 killed one of whom is the Fienoh captain oi the 2u light in fantry. At six in the morning, a floating bridge was thrown over the canal. Workmen are now em ploy ed at the Vistula. Maishal Letebvie bestows high commenda tion on the courage of those employed iri this expedition ; amongst many others who distin guish themselves was a light horseman ol the 12th regiment, who having outstretched his comrades, suddenly found himself amidst a col umn of Russians, who cried out, “do not fiicq we aie all Frenchmen”—on being threatened that he should be killed if he spoke, he cried out! “Fue, fire, captain, they are all Rus sians !” Right of th> 2 ! May : Attack of Huklesberg—* The sup being within four fathoms of (he pui'* Vade, it was resolved to crown the covert way-, ('ol Latest e of the engineers, took the necessa* ry rneasries. the chief of battalion Bertrand, of the I9i!i regiment ol the infantry of the lire, caused two companies ot die lti-.h tv. advance, in order to drive out the enemy from the two branches of the road covered by the half moon. Some of our sharp shooters peretratecl even into the places el’urmes lentrantes, fired behind the pali sades and made some prisoners. During this time, the sappers and workmen of the 19th crowned the ciele of the coven V v on the saliant of the half moon, whilst otimr sappers cut off several palisades, ar.d a serjeant w ith four miners went down ii to the c.ov ert way in ordoi to find out the mines which might have been made. Sc-i jCant Chapot discovered the well of a gal lery oi mines, fiom which he took 32 mineis. 1 hey declared that this mine was the or.lv one on which they had worked ; that they had be gun in about a week befoie ; that the well was 24 feel deep ; that from thence it was intend ed to direct two galleries to a distance of 50 feet, but that they had not yet got further than 25 feet. 1 he troops displayed great vigor in this ope ration, w hich rendered us masters of the ene my’sgalleries, dislodged him from the covert way ol the half moon, and furnished us a scite for throwing up two important batteries. ‘1 he enemy kept up a very heavy fire of musketry and grape ihct. In the couise of the day. the enemy evacua ted the covert way, and kept noshaip shooters, but in the block houses. J isiula and Peninsula —The Lunette of Katekschautz was opened, and the redoubts (.1 tlie island set incomplete order to act against the place. Artiiiery.—'l he enemy fired very little in the course ol the day, on the front of the at tack, ar.d appeared to direct his attention to wards the \ istuia. Embrasures have been pierced to fire from, at the Cavalier ot tlie place, at which the ene my is at work. The 24 pounciers which have been directed against tbe block houses, have almost destroy ed one, and much damaged the otheis. The batteries ha.e begun to bleak the palisades of tire fosses. MESSINA, April 9. An English l igate arrived here yesterday form Loudon, in 34 days, with a million of francs in specie on board, which was landed tins morning. COPENHAGEN, May 5. A master ot a vessel arrived from Dantzick, reports that the bombardment of the town was very severe and brisk. General Kalkreuth de clares he will hold out to lire last extremity, ihe place is certainly in the most aiarnurg state for the inhabitants. Private letters say that the streets aie lull of dead bodies, killed by the bombs, and that they could not be bmied in consequence of the fright which prevails a niong the people. The want of provisions, which is sensibly felt, may force the town to capitulate. The force of the garrison is said to amount to 25 (XX) men. l’he French ha> e entered Swinetnunde to the number of 4UO men. VIENNA, May 8. It is now decided that count Von Stadion, minister for foreign affairs, will remain Froe. As it is he who directs the important negocia tions now on the tap s, he cannot absent himself from the capitol. Mr. Adair the English minister,has received dispatches from his own couit, by which behas learnt his recall, a circumstance which he has communicated to count Stadion It is however thought he will remain here until the arrival of hi* successor. The minister who was of lord Grenville’s party, does not conceal his displa sure at the change which has been brought a bout in the ministry. Neither is this event calculated to maintain a good understanding between our court and England ; the former being highly discontented with lords Hawkes bury and Castlereagh, to w hom it attributes the indiscreet publication of the diplomatic notes and conferrences which preceded the late war. It is rumoured that count Rassamousky, the Russian ambassador, has made proposals to our cabiret relative to anew alliance with his court, but that his proposals were rejected, and that a solemn dedaraliou has been made to the court
