attack them, which obliged me
to colkfit a force out of the least
injured thips and form ro leeward
for thnr defence ; ail this re
tarded the progrels of the hulks
and the bad weather continuing,
determined me to deflrov all the
leevvardmofl that could be clear
ed cf the men, considering that
keeping poftilfion of the ships
was a matter of litiie confe
ouence, compared with the
chance of their falling into the
hands of the enemy ; but even
this was an arduous rafk, in the
high ft*a which was running. 1
hope, however, it has been ae
complilhed to a considerable ex

The junction of the Pruflians
with ri,e Ruffians is fully con
firmed by the Dutch journal of

received Paris pape/5 to the

The intelligence from Berlin
Is of the moll important nature.
The political fy’ftem of the
Prufllan cabinet has Undergone a
complete change in the course
of last month, Infteal of plac
ing her immense armies upon
the war eftabhftiment merely to
refill rhe paflagt of a foreign
force through ncr territoties,
maintain her neutrality, Pniffta
has conceded full liberty of
tranfle to the Ruffian forces, and
is marching her armies to Fran
conia, to rhe banks of the Rhine
and to the borders of the Bata
vian republic. Three armies
amounting in the whole to 150,
000 men, arc a&ualiy on tlu-ir
march for ike different points
we have mentioned. A fourth
army, of immehfe force, is af
: lembling at Brandenburg, to
lupporc the three fi tl 24,000
Saxons, and 20,000 Heffia s,
are to be united to the armies
on their march to Franconia and
W cftphalia.
The advanced guard
Ruffian troops entered Boizen
burg, on the Elbe, on the 2.7 th
uit. the Pruflians entered thr e
lefilorate of Hanover the next
day; The French, as might
have been expected threw them
frlves into the forrrefs of Ham
clin, to the amount, it is laid, of
5 or 6000 men, where it is fup
pofrd they will be blockaded.
They have proviTioned the piace
for twelve months.
Eij 2 van guard of the fecor.d
Ruffian army, amounting to
20,000 men, had arrived about
the middle of last month in
Bohemia, and formed a juncti
on, we have no doubt, with the
troops on the Inn, in a few days
after. Independent of the im
mense armies which were pour
ing down through Prussia, Po
land, and Gallacia, from the
Ruffian territories, a confidera
bie reinforcement to the troops
already landed in Pomerania
were expected to arrive from
Revel at Wolgafl in the fame
province. ‘J en thouland Swedes
were aifo expedlcd to advance
through Mecklenburg into-Han

rcquelled of the governments
of both the Dutchies to that ef

Our private correfpor.dent at
Hamburg, communicates the
following article, dated Ratifbon
Q&. 12 :—“ Gen. Kienmayer,
with 2 5,000 men has lately ef
fected a jundlion with 45,000
Ruffians near Brannan. Theft
