of tHa day two of tbs enemy’s columns | that were cut off, prelented thcmfelves to enter into rhe place. Six pieces; of ran-nor., and frorti 3 to 400 men,- which, computed this troop, were taken. All the iuburbs of K.onigs ber > Were can ied; we there made a giVat number of prisoners. The re fute of these affairs, are 5000 prifor.-j ers and 15 pieces ol cannon. On] the 15th and ICIII, the corps of the army of Marshal Souk was detained before Konii'sbcrrr, but the march of the body of the.a: my on Wehlau oblig ed the enemy to evacuate Konigsberg, and this place fell into our power. We have found at Konigsberg an immente quantity of provtfions. Fwc Imn-dred large veflels which had come from Kuffia, are Util loaded in the port. ‘l’here is a greater quantity of wines and brandies than we hud a: - .\ reason to hope for. j\ buigade of the divifiOn Saint Hiliaire, is before Pillau, to form the siege j and general Rapp has tent from Datnzic a colu nn charged to go by the Ncrur.g, and efhblifh before Fillau a battery, which will fhui up the Haff Thu veffds manned by the marines of the guard, render us makers of thi. little tea. On the 17th, the Emperor moved his head quarters to Diucken, nea- Klein Schteau; on the iStli, to Sgau girven, the 19th, at 2 o’clock, in the afternoon, he entered Tilfitt. The Grand Duke of Eerg at th’ head of the greater part of the light cavalry, the dtvifions of dragoons and cuiralFters, h ive gone on beating the enemy for the lait three days and has done him mnch injury. The fifth re giment of halters has diPdnguifhad it tels. The Cos flacks were many times overthrown, ami have fuffered much in the different charges. We have bud but few kilted or wounded —in the number of the latter is the chef-d’es quadron Piet on, aid-de-camp of the Grand Duke of Berg. After the passage of the Pregel op polite Wilhsu, adrummerwas charged by a Cofteck ; he threw himfelf on his belly ; the Cossack took his lance to pierce the drummer, but the latter preserved all his presence of mind, andfeized the lance difanned the Cos sack, and pursued him. A particular faci, which excited the finites of the soldiers, took place for the firff time near Tidbit. We law a cloud of Kalmoucks giving battle with bow and arrows; we pity those who prefer the arms of the ancients to thej moderns—but nothing is more laugh-1 able than the flay of thole aims a-j gain ft our muikeu. Marshal Davouft, at the head of the j third corps, at I.ibiau, fell pn the rear j guaid of the enemy, and made 2,500 prisoners. On his fide Marlhal Ney arrived on the 17th, at Infterborough, he there took one thou fund wounded from the enemy, and considerable ma ; gazines. j The woods and the villages are fill-; ed v;uh infolaied Ruffians, either; wounded or lick. The losses of the j Ruffian army are enormous; it has! not taken with it .more than 60 pieces! of cannon. The rapidity cf the marches hinder us from knowing yet all the pieces which have been taken at the battle of Friedland, we believe the amount exceeds 120. At the height of TilUitt, the billits here joined, Nos. 1 and 2 were deli vered to the Grand Duke of Berg, and afterwards the Ruffian Prince.j lieutenant-general Labanoff, passed the Nteman, and conferred one hour with the Pll nee of Neufchatel. The enemy has humt'in great haste the budge ot Till fit t on rhe Nieman, and appears to cocuoue his retreat to wards Raffia ; we are on the confines of that empire. The-JN reman, oppo hte Filbvt, is a little larger than the) Seine; we ice on the !cit bank a 1 loud j of Coffin, ks which form the rear guard of the enemy*. No longer do they commit rny hoftiiides.

The greater part lof his army, or rather the divibon of [his troops, are defecting, not being wil ling to go into Ruffin.

People now aik with less uneasiness than eu- ’ riofitv, what will he the fate of the king of Prussia, all whole states rnuft in a few days be in the poffefibn cf the French. We Rail not take upon ourselves to difeufs either the gener ous proportions which may have been made to him, or the imprudent tefufals which have fol. lowed them : previous to the battle of Fried j land, he might yet appear to have Something to I put into the diplomatic (cades ; he was ftili king of a few provinces and of the wreck of an army. As long as Ruffin and England left him any j hopes, there might have been feme merit in fa- J crificing them to his fafety. But now that he j would present himfelf bereft of all resource, all ■ that he would preserve can only be a gift of the ! magnanimity of the Empf.ro?. of the French. June 28. The a&ivity of the operations has retarded, ’ from appearance, the arrival of the bulletins; in the mean time an authentic letter, arrived this ! morning, gives the following details : j “ Eofel has capitulated. The troops cf the ; grand army have entered into Neifs, on the 16th j June, conformably to the capitulation. The | i-mc day marshal Soult entered Ivcjiigsberg ; ;he found in this city great magazines and ‘160,000 mulkeis, feat by the Engiifh.

WEHLAU, June 16. Marshal Soult entered this morning into Ko nigsberg. He found large maga/.ines, many wounded, and 160,000 Engllfli fuiils, lately ar rived for the use of the Ruffians.

WARSAW, Jupc 11, It ;s said that the inhabitants of Dautzic, i have had a contribution laid on them of fever ai j millions of francs, and have been holdcn to j maintain the garriion during a ctrtam time, :f ----ter which it .s to live on its pay, according to them. SEMLIN, May 31. * On the 2-d, there %vas a.i engagement be tr-eea the corps of Stai.oje the Turks; ; Mutich-Aga attacked with a finall corps of troops the Servian battery thrown up near Gi'ufclielve ; but was repuifed with fome lo s. On the 2ad, every movement of the r urks ware room for believing that they proposed to make a frefh attack agamft the ol.tion of the Servians. On the following nignt, the com mandant Stanoje detached the civet Obrad with four battalions and four companies to wards Kumitza, in order to obfer/e the move- ■ nents of the Turks ami drive away the corps which they had near Sitnitza. On the at day.break, he advanced himfelf with all his forces, divided into five colums. to at.acic die enemy’s camp, about fix hundred fio,n Litnitza. He had already approached within a (hort diffance of it, when a . ui x-lh corps of about 2030 men came out of Sitmtza, and fell ( upon him, seemingly with intent to cut off the fifth column. The commandant Seanjoe then altered his plan, and formed his corps in four columns ; the firft rapidly attacked of the Turks, availing it with a very brill: fire of artillery and mulketry. The i'urks fjp p'orted this attack with intrepidity, and kept up on cheir fide a very {mart fire ; however, two divilions of ri -rvian cavalry having fallen upon rhe camp, tney were obliged to retreat within their own entrenchments, behind bitnitza. —• The Rond cajuavi cf insurgents attac|ed the f batteries placed before -Siiniia, and endeavored to drive the Turks from them. The third arid fourth columns fecouded this enterprize, but were repuifed with loss by the murderous fire o. the batteries Then the commandant Stanoje, placing himfelf at the head of the fourth co lumn, made a frefh attack with Rich impetuofi iv, that the Turks were at length obliged to abandon the batteries and ret;eat. The Ser vians alter having foaled the entrenchment, en . tered Sitnitza, and cut to pieces all who made any resistance. I’he Turks took refuge in the fortrefs of Ufchitza; they were followed by the Seiveaus, who, after forming a icachon with the two iivifions who hadalreajy taken post upon the left of that town, were in veil eel on all (ides. Mutich-Aga found hinrish* thus (hut up with his corps, leduced from i j ,000 to 8030, in a town totally unable to support a feige, and which hard I'/ 1 '/ contained provisions enough to I hold out iwo days. In this critical pofiticn,! asid notwithlbmding the superiority of the ene-; my, he resolved to force his way out in order to | go and fetch frefh. troops for the pnrpeft cf de -1!v ring Ufchitza. In c.—fcqaence, he deliver-’ ed tu and ioir.es and Pacha the command cf the town, in which he left a garrifen of-2000 men ; a id at four o’clock in the afternoon, he made a filly with 6300 men he had remaining, and who were divided into two columns. The Ser vians advanced on all iides ag&iall him, and fur-1 rounded him. The Turks then formed a square, and de fended themfelv -s with a rare intrepidity ; at length they contrived to force a Servian column and open to themtelvcs a passage. Four Ser-i vian columns pursued them ; the others nuifeh-j ed again ft the fortrefs. One of the Turkik j columns marched towards Skivtza, and left’ 600 men in tile csftle of Socci, which was not J occupied ; the other column retreated through j Kumitza, and was reinforced by feyera! final! detachments, which were disunited. At a small diirance from Kumitza, it fell in with the Servian corps, commanded by the chief Obrad*. bat in spite cf the efforts cf the latter, it again fucceedeo in forcing a passage, for itfelf, after having sustained feme luis. The Servian troops who had marched again it pfehitza, directly at- j tacked that town, and made their way into it, j after having icaied the batteries. Part of the ga; rifon were killed, r.nd the rest made prison ers. The insurgents estimate the;r loss, in the several engagements, at 2000 men. The Ser vian commander, Bulla Illitz, was dangerously j wounded before Ufchitza, and conveyed to Bd : o-v-H ----NAPLES, June S. Six thoufaud Neapolitans, commanded by iCen. Philipftadt, lauded at Reggio, giving ! thenffelvea out to be liie restorers and conquer- ! j ors of the kingdom of Naples. His Majesty i I ordered General Reignier to lay r.o obstacles in ; : their way, and to withdraw at their approach, jin order to inspire them with more confidence, j'Conformably to these orders, our van guard • evacuated Seminara, Roffauo, a:;_ M;kt_. ce acral IT.illipftgdt, er.teitaiifing r.w fuipiffeu ol the snare laid for him, advanced with his army, and threatened Monte-Leore, ; but his Majeily tH wiflMßg t® abandon |i loyal a tv*, a to ti e fury and vengeance of these new conquerors, gave directions to general Keghicr, who bad been reinforced by a body of troops from Cala bria, to attack and difeomfit the cneniv. The engagement took place on the 2Sth May, near Mile to, when the whole corps commanded by general Philipftadt were either killed or taken prisoners ; scarcely were a few cavalry enabled to regain Reggio. The commander in chief of this expedition, is thought to be atnengil the number of the prisoners. All the inhabitants of Calabria concluded themtelvcs i.i such a manner as to deserve the higaeft commendation. The citizens of every class hastened to come to close quarters with the common enemy, who had just proclaimed Irtgandage , and the rr.affacre of the laud-holders. June 9. The last news from Calabria is altogether fa tirfadory ; all is cairn and fubmiifive. General Abbe has entered nggia ten minutes after the Prince Philipftadt had embarked ; all thole who have not been killed in three battles which took place, remain prisoners to the i.tur.% rof 2000, officers and feldiers ; the prisoners are on th.e road hither, FRANKFORT, Jan? 22. Letters from Vienna, at length confirm tht intelligence of the evacuation of Walachia, byf the army of Gen. Mieheltcn. i bis retreat ha? been made under pretext of covering the (Tege of Ifmail ; but it is evidently grounded on the impossibility of the Ruffian general being able to maintain poffelfion of this province, or to de fend it agiinll the Turkilh armies now advan ring, and whole van-guard is already arrived at Wtddin. When Micheifon invaded Moldavia and Walachia, he relied on reinforce ments from the different Ruffian provinces, and more especially from those bordering on W? Black Sea. Instead of this, he b.is been under neccffity of fending one of Ins divisions ic -r.e assistance of the Ruffian army in Poland ; and the troops he expefted to receive from Tanride ‘and Ukraine, not only have not joined him, but will probably find themfei.es inefficient to pro ferve the provinces invaded by the Turks and Persians.

Although no houses were threw a down by the earthquake of theGrh, many persons were wound ed by the fall of ftooes from fome v.- . ls, and tiles falling from the roofs. No person would ham loft their life, if the fright cccafioned by the fir ft thock, had not induced four or five individuals to leap cut of their windows into the ft reel. Two or three Were lulled in this manner, and others wounded. Mod of the inhabitants passed the night in the j open air, either in the fields, or ia the fquarcr, ’ and on the keys. One cheering cir-umitance, ! was, that the Tagus was very Trune-nil; where* i as in the earthquake of 1755, that river, previous to the firft (Itockj was inwardly ag‘.-.ated, and ’ covered with bituminous matter.
