LATEST FROM BBROPS.
By an arrival at New-Bedford, from Eng-
land, we have 11 ceived a London weekly pa
per of May 24, from which we are enabled
to make the following selections :—It does
jiot appear by amy official statements, that
ti;.e war has been renewed in Poland ; but
tl-.e reports which reach us from almost eve-
ry quatfer, seem to strengthen an opinion
that it has been recommenced with dreadful
Slaughter. The article, under the London
head of May 2*.; on this subject, may be con-
sidered to bear a continental date very little
distant in time from ihose brought to Pro-
vidence by the Hazard. It is, however more
particular and satisfactory. The late ru-
irioufe of Peace appear to have g;v«n way to
other expectations, which involve, not only
. a sanguinary warfare in Poland, and along
the Northern maritime coast, but through-
cut the whole extent of the Turkish empire.
This extension of the war, may be consider-
ed as resulting from the ill success of the ex-
pedition, against the Porte ; since it has gi-
ven to the French, a complete controul over
the civil and military operations of that
power.
LoNnoN May 24. '
• Rumours cf a great battle in Poland.
A general battle is rumoured to have at
length been fought.—At a late hour on Fri-
day evening it was reported that the Russi-
ans and Prussians had made a general attack
upon the French army. Othersalkdge that
tbe attack was begun by the French.
The Russians and Prussians amounted tq
about 185,000, of whom 160,000 were
Russians. The French force was near
- 500,000. But the Russians had a reserve
k i Lithuania of 40,000 men more—The
battle is rumoured to have been of the most
$£ritms and obstinate flature,—Jt terminated
much In tin same way as. the:"'eattte: of'Ey-
lan—without any decisive advantages gajn-
ed'by the French—Thirty thousand men are
said'; to have been killed and -wounded- .on.
both sides.
Yesterday .toornjng we received . Jesters
from the coast, which state that a heavy
firing was heard on Thursday night in the
-direction of Calais, supposed to have been1
rejoicing fdrsome victory. The French, of
course, if the result were as we have stated
it above, indacisive, and if they had nothing
more to boast of than they had .at Eylau,
would claim the victory, and order, rejoic-
ings to take place, and TeDetun tobe ce-
lebrated. The conscripts must be encou-
raged at all events. But if the consequence
of the battle was neither the surrender of
Dantzic, nor the. capture of Konigsberg,
the French have little to boast of. The
battle is stated to have begun on the 6th ;
the emperor Alexander, the king of Prussia,
and Bonaparte, headed their respective ar-
mies.
Other .accounts from Holland state, that
the battle was not indecisive, but that the
French were defeated.
¦ An American vessel from Rotterdam is
arrived off Dover, which landed an over
sea pilot belonging to that place, who states,
that at the time he sailed, a report had reach-
ed Rotterdam of a battle having been fought
in Poland, which lasted three days, and end-
ed in the total defeat of the French—The
emperor of Russia and king of Prussia were
personally engaged.—Similar accounts are
said to have prevailed at Flushing.
Such are the rumours which have reach-
ed us—No accounts of any battle have been
officially received by government.
The Turkish army lias been wholly re-
organized, and every corps of a thousand
men, has a French officer, subordinate only
to the commander in chief. Whilst these
arrangements are proceeding in the Turkish
empire, the French emissaries are stated to
be equally busy in every part of the depend-
ent, provinces. It is reported, upon good
authority, that all the Barbary powers have
declared against us, and that the Mediterra-
already swarms with their corsairs.
This is of serious consequence to the mer-
chants of the Levant Trade. We believe
indeed, that the greater part of this trade
has been long extinguished, and that what
remains is rather to be considered as of pri-
vate than national concern. But the hostil-
ity of these petty powers is not the less
vexatious. Their ships are not confined to
the Mediterranean. The Americans suffer
ed so much from them, that they deemed it
prudent to purchase an ignominious truce.
The French are well aware of this, and their
intrigues have long been directed to stir up
these privileged robbers against the British
commerce.
Mr. Arbuthnot and admiral Duckworth,
are on their return home. Sir Sidney Smith
is to remain off the mouth of tho Darda
nelles.
The misunderstanding between the Britif ^
and Russian eovernments, relative to some
commercial regulations, has been amicably j
adjusted.
Berlin, May 9.
Down to the 4th, nothing had occurred be-
tween the two armies. The enemies' prepa-
rations indicate that he will direct his grand
attack along the coast, as, in case of succeed"
ing, he will be in a better situation for reliev
ing Dantzic, and also for receiving support
from the shipping of England, Russia, and
Sweden. Besides the three frigates at Ko-
nigsberg, intended for taking troops on board,
several thousand Russians have been embark-
ed at Pillau, in order to be landed upon the
Frisch Nerung, near Dantzic.
By land, the advanced posts of the Russi-
ans and Prussians are extended in the front
of Braunsberg and Mehlsack. The French
advanced posts on the left side are at Frau
enberg, Mnlhansen, and Wormsditt. The
latter place is occupied by eight thousand of
the marshal prince Ponte-Corvo's corps.—
Within the circuit of six leagues, about thir-
ty thousand men are encamped ; and, in fact,
the whole army is in such a position as to be
ready for a general action in a few hours.
About the end of last month, couriers were
dispatched from the head-quarters to all the
reinforcements on their march, to hasten their
approach with all possible speed.
Dresden, May 5.
The last letters from Vienna mention,that
considerable wagers have been laid in the
first societies, that the preliminaries of a ge
neral peace will be signed before the 1st of
July.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
Lower Elbe, May 13.
Contrary to all expectations, we are still
without certain intelligence concerning the
events which in all probability have alrea-
dy taken place in the North. One thiitg is
certain, that Dantzic is the point of attack
and defence. The papers pressed into the
service of France tell us that the se,ige of
that city is carried on with vigor ; they in-
form us that the garrison makes perpetual
sorties, and, of course, that all these sor-
ties are very unfortunate for the besieged ;
and they fortel the speedy surrender of the
town. But these same accounts do not
conceal the determination of the Prussians
to defend the place to the last extremity ;
and the writers, by their labored attempts
j to shew the probability of a speedy capture
betray rather their own sense of its impor-
tance than prove the probability of the
event. The Altona Mercury, of yesterday
relates, in a second edition, tha* on the
i>9ih ult. at night, the French made three
ai tempts to take the place by storm, but ill
vain ; after whichan armistice of 4 hours
was granted for burying the dead. It is
said, that ships which passed by on the 5th
instant heard a violent cannonade from the
city. Tins last intelligence discredits a re-
port wjiich two days since had gained great
ground, that the siege was raised. It was
added, 'hat the Saxons had deserted to a
man; that an attack was made by accord
at the same instant from the garrison in the
city, and the Er.glih frigates before it, upon
the-French works 3 and that after ait obsti-
nate contest, .the -enemy was forced"to yield
his positions, -heavy artillery,-Sec. -This
account is still credited here, and the de-
sertion of the Saxons .is -said, to have been
acknowledgedby .the French minuter Bou-
rienne.
In, the mean while it. is evident that Bo-
naparte seriously purposes to remedy the
fault he has committed in the eyes of military
men, by advancing so far into Poland, while
Stralsuhd, Colberg, and Dantzic remain in
the -power of an enemy wno has also the
command of the sea. Every thing shews
that he is resolved to act for a time on the
defensive. He has taken a strong position
in Prussia, by means of which he hopes to
repel the attacks of the great Rossini army,
which lies before him ; and he in the mean
while orders the siege of the maritime for
tresses in the Baltic. Hence the waste of
blood before Dantzic. In one night three in-
effectual attempstostormthefortro-ss! Every
one knows the immense loss which such an
attempt causes, even when successful ; but
this is indifferent to a general, whose disre-
gard for the lives of his men is beyond all
precedent. After Bonaparte's fartldQS first
campaign in Italy, he was asked as to the
expence. " J'ai Uepensi div mille homines
par mois," (" I spent 10,000 men every
month,") he replied; It oi^ght not to be for-
gotten, that he thehconimaWedanly French-
men. Now he has allies; and he will,be
subject to no slight e-r*j'arra3sment in the
choice of, ,his assailants. What troops, for
instance, were employer! in the threefold at-
tack on the'20th ? If Germans, how natur
rally must the thought occur to them, " We
are the chosen victims!" Such a suggestion
would fiy in evwy quarter of the grand ar-
my , and a defalcation, dreadful and decisive
might be the result.
But to come nearer home in my remarks.
While the siege of Dantzic is carried on with
fury, that of Colberg reposes for a moment
and attempts are insidiously made to disen
gage the King of Sweden from the Coalti-
on ; but to no purpose. This Monarch lias
renewed his treaties with the King of Prus
sia; all animosity between these two' Sove-
reigns is forgotten ; and 6000 Prussians are
on their passage to Stralsund, under Gene-
rals Blucher and Taeenzien, while the.diplo-
matic relations between the two Courts are
restored.
Here we see a Monarch, who has already
lost the greater part of his States, and the
remainder of which are actually attacked by
the enemy, sending his best Generals with a
considerable force to defend the dominions
of a Sovereign but lately his adversary when
threatened by the common foe.—An incident
like this may allow us to hope, that the spi-
rit of a generous and wise coalition is not
yet every where extinct. Were every ene-
my of France to act thus, Europe might yet
be saved from Impending bondage-.
Sweden having been found incorruptible,
it is now deemed necessary io collect a large
force on this frontier of Germany. On Sun-
day last. Marshal Bnme received, by a cou-
rier from Fhikensteiri, the commaj^of all
the forces in Lower Saxony, whie^, united
with the troops coming from Italy, are to
form an army of observation against the
Swedes and English, and at the same time co-
ver the operations of the Grand Army. The
Marshal was set out from Hamburgh this
morning, on his way to Schwerin ; and a
part of the garrison has already left that
city. A number of camps are to be estab-.
lished in Mecklenburgh and Pomerano.
I have endeavored to represent 'what is
thought here to be the military plan of the
enemy. This sketch if not quite co
justifies the remark of one of our Journalists
that the late events in Poland have, re-
the art of war to its former credit. "How
much, how incalculably much, is-gained if
an enemy can be compelled to proceed cau-
tiously and slowly, all of whose victories
have hitherto been a series of ccu/i de main.
Surely, when Austria at length sees that the
allies are able to hold France at bay, its en-
ergy will revive once more. The transacti
ons at the late Diet at Hungary certainly
entitle us to form the most lively hopes and
expectations.

Norfolk, 1st July, 1807.
Sir,
Orders from Government directing my im-
mediate attention to the re-equipment of the
Chesapeake, any further movement of the
Gun Boats, for the moment, must necessari-
ly be suspended. These boats will however
lay where they are, with every thing on
board, ready for such measures as the gov-
ernment may direct or emergencies call for.
Allow me to a^ail myself of the present
occasion to express the high sense I entertain
of the zeal and patriotism of the citizens of
this neighborhood, particularly that portion
of them by whose voluntary and unexam-
pled exertions, these boats, then laying in a
dismantled state, were in a few hours com -
pletely rigged, equipt and brought to the
point where they now are; and from whence
by similar services which continue to be
tendered by the seamen and armed compa-
nies of the place, they may in a few hours at
1 any time be rendered distinguishably useful
to their country.
Accept, Sir, for yourself, and the Board
over which you preside, the assurances of
toy high consideration and respect.
STEPHEN DECATUR, Jun..
To General Mathews, Chairman
of the Committee, &c.,-,.
Resolved, That this committee view with
the greatest satisfaction and most lively sen-
sibility, the patriotism displayed by captain

vited to partake ot a public dinner.
RcSQl-iiedj That. Seth Foster, Thomas NHv-
to)t'and Richard Blmiths a committee to

vitatio'n, and make the necessary arrange-
ments for this entertainment.
Whereas this committee passed a resoluti-
on interdicting all communication with the
British ships until the pleasure of govern-
ment should be known; and whereas the
Collector, of this port has received directions

impressed seamen now oh board the Bellona
—Resolved, That'tbis commitsee never did
consider the interdiction entered into, by the

tween the British Consul and the British
squadron, as extending to dispatches trans-
mitted under authority of the government of
the United States or any of its agenfs.
