FillD A Y, A PHIL 30. OVERXMENT received this morning MJJT from our Minister at Hambro', Mr. Cockburn, advices, stating that General Tet- tt-nborn had just received a dispatch from General Wittgenstein, informing him of the most importaiilfacl of the surrender of Dant- zick by Capitulation. The particulars had not been received by General Wittgenstein, but wonlllhe focwarded to Hamburgh the moment they reached him. The Danish Ambassador lias left London on his return to Copenhagen, his mission having failed"; and that it cotiid not do otherwise, the whole country, we are sure, will be per- fectly convinced when we tell them what his Government required. Of the present situa- tion of Denmark, of the ruin she has brought upon herself by her adherance to Bonaparte, oY the absolute necessity of peace with us, our readers are sufficiently aware. That distress should make powers or individuals mean and submissive, we are far from ontending, but at least we m iy say that their demands should rise in tile i-atio of their d'stress. We be- lieve that Denmark submitted five or six pro- posals to us of the following nature I. That all her territories (Norway of course stiottld be guaranteed to her. 2. That all her islands should be restored to her. 3. Her fleet, and a large iindemnity for its capture 1)} es— besides a large sum for what the Danes had suffered during our occupation of Zea- land. 4. The making over the ITanse Towns-to her. 5. The granting of a subsidy to her to pay the troops necessary to enable her-to take possession of those towns' The embolic Bill was last evening present- ed by Mr Grattan in the I-huse of Commons re-,i,,l a first time, ordered to be printed, and read a second time on the 11th instant. It enables Roman Catholics to sit in either House of Parliament, and to hold all civil and milita- ry offices, upon their taking Oath, instead of the Oilili of Allegiance, Abjuration and Su- premacy, and the Declarations againstTran- Siibstaiitialiou and the Invocation of Saints, required by the present laws, except the office of Lord High Chancellor, Lord Keeper or Lord Commissioner of the Great Seal of Great Bri- tain, or of Lord Lieutenant or Lord Deputy, or Chief Governor or Governors of Ireland. Roman Catholics are also to continue disqua- lified to hold or present to any office, benifice, place, or dignity,belonging to the Established Church, or the Church of Scotland, or to any Ecclesiastical Court of Judicature,or to any of the Universities of this Realm, or to the Col- Ice of Eton, Westminster, or Winchester, or to any College or School of Royal Foundation within this Realm, otherwisethan they are by the law. as now existing, qualified to bold or present to the same. Mr. Canning proposed iieveral suplementary clauses, not hostile to to the Bill, but merely as addenda, which were also ordered to be printed. The Pat-is papers received are more remark. able for the discovery of Bonaparte's brother- in-law, Mural, King of Naples, than for any circumstance «>f -importance. This renowned General of Cavalry is at length found out.— Various conjectures have been hazarded with respect to his fate. The prevailing oplllion that he had fallen into disgrace, and some were inclined to believe that he was the dis- tinguished state prisoner, the new iron mask, that appeared in Germany. This opinion is, liowever, erroneous. King Murat is safe at Naples. On the 2d insiaut he visited the flo- tilla in the beautiful bay of that city, and held a council on board one of the vessels. The Halifax Papers starte, that it was the Indian warrior Roundhead who took General Wincheslei prisoner. The Indian, according to his notions of the law of nations, and the courtesy due to prisoners of war, first stripped the American Commander of his fine coat and waistcoat, and then applied a covering ofpuint over his bare skin. In this ludicrous stale, having dressed himself in the regimental trap- pings of his prisoner, he presented the littei- to Colonel Proctor, who with much difficulty succeeded in rocovertng for the discomfited General his coat and sword. Letters from Constantinople mention the following unfortunate iiicidvtit :-Mr. Levy, an English Gentleman, well known and ighly esleemed in Russia, was lately drowned in the Black Sea, together with Count Fogessiera, a Piedmonfese Nobleman, two orderly dra- goons of the 20lh regiment, and a servant, on their route to join Sir Robert Wilson,— -with the rest of the crew of the vessel, one Greek only excepted. Mr. Levy was on his return from Constantinople, whither he had been dispatched by MT Wilson, at the critical period of the French retreating from Moscow. TheCount hadalso b.een the hearer ofdispafches to the same quarter. In their anxiety to re- join Sir Ilobert Wilson, they could not be in- duced to postpone their passage till the weather moderated, and met their fate near Vaina, afte-r■ "being many days at sea. Besides his friends, dragoons, and servant, Sir. R.

Esq. M. P. Edmund K. Lacon, Esq. M. P. Captain Robert Preston, n. N. end above thirty other were elected Members, and several others proposed for Election, at the next general mcetingof the Citili, on the 17th of May. The following Resolutions were then passed tiiiaiiiiiiously That the sum of Five Hundred Pounds, part of the General Fund of this Club, Lepresentell To the Uuiversisy of Cambridge, in aid of the Fund for the annual Maintenance of" The Pitt University Scholarship" recently fouuded in that University, and that the Honorary Secretary be requested to communicate this Resolution to the Vice-Chancel lor, and to express the high grati- fication it affords the Members of The Pitt Club to observe the increasing attachment, and veneration of the University of Cambridge, for the Memory and Principles of Mr. Pitt." A hre quantity of anns and: mmunition are o dered to be sent from the OrtRance yard a; C ..vtham, for Harwich, to be shipped for German. At a late hour last night Paris Papers to the 30th ult. wore received. Bonaparte set out from Mayence on the evening of the 24th.— There is, as usual, much boasting with re- spect to what is to be done in the ensuing campaign. The King of Saxony has been marched off to Prague. Theintellirrence from the army comes down to the 24th ultimo, on which day, at eight o'clock in the evening, Bonaparte set out from Mayence. On that day too the greater part of the army is stated to have passed the mountains of Thuriugia.— Whether the Emperor has proceeded from Mayenceis not stated, nor are any particular positions assigned to the corps of II)c ariiiy.- The following is given as the slate of the ar- mies on the 20th of April, as well as of the fortresses. The Viceroy is in the same situation as stated in the last accounts, his left on the Elbe at the mouth of the Saale his centre at Burnberg, his right towards the moniitaiiis of Hartzberg, and his point of reserve at Magdeburg. Sebastian! is between Celle and the Weser. The Prince of Moskwa at Erfort. The Duke of Ragusa at Gotha, and occupying Lengen Saltza. The Duke of Istria at. Eisinach. Count Bertrand at Coburg. General Souham at Weimar. The Duke of Castigleone has been appointed Military Governor of the Grand Duchies of Frank- fort and Wirtzburg, the citadet of the lattet- having been armed and provisioned. Vandamme is at Bremen, and has under his orders the division of Dufour, St. Cyr, and Dumonceau. The Duke of Reggio set out on the 23d from Mayence to take the command of the 12th corps of the Grand Army, now for the first time so called. The Duke of Dalmatia has resumed the func- tions of the Commandant of Guard. The Duke of Treviso has been sent to Wetz- lar to organize the Polish corps of General Dom- browski, and to form from it two regiments of infantry, two of cavalry, and two batteries of ar-, tillery. And the Prince of Ecmuhl has proceeded into the 32d military division to exercise according to circumstances the extraordinary powers delegat- ed to him by the Senatus Consultant of the 3d of April. These are the positions of the different Ge- nerals and corps, as they are given in the statement of their situation on the 20th, and as they can he collected from subsequent ar- ticles of intelligence. With respect to the fortresses— Dantzic, Thorn, Modlin, and Zamose, are stat- ed to be in the same situation. Stettin, Custrin, Glogau, and Spandau, are re- presented as but feebly blockaded. Magdeburg is the point da reserve of the Vice- roy and Wittemburg and Torgan are said to be in a good state, the garrison of Wittemburg having, it is (stated, repulsed an attack by main force, that is, an assault. Two Goltenbiirgli Mails arrived on Satur- day night. It appears that the differences between the Courts of Stockholm and Copen- hagen have been followed by the recal of their respective Envoys, and the King of Den mark has assigned, as the ground of the rup- ture, his refusal to exchange the kingdom of Norway for certain places-and territories bor- dering on Holstein. The Mails furnish no additional military intelligence, with the ex- ception of the progress of the scige of Stettin, one of the principal outworks of which had been taken possession of by She besiegers, the Prussians, who were incessantly firing into the place, supported by a Swedish flotilla.— General St. Cyr, as a sort of answer to the threats of retaliation for the atrocities he has committed, ha Pllhlished rhe French Senatus Consullwll, hv which the 32nd Military Divi- sioll (the Hanse Towns) is deprived of the privileg;es uf the French Constitution, and martial law proclaimed throughout the De- partment. This, however, is only attempt- ing to justify cruelty by the plea of usurped y authority. A survey on all prisoners who are totally incapablc of service against this country, civil or military, is atwllt to lake place; but nOlle are included who have violated paroles.

The depots and prison ships have seldom been known in so healthy a state as ati present. Two mails from Goltenburgh have arrived; The troops composing the last division of the Swedish Expedition had marched into Gotten- burgh, and were waiting the* arrival of the Crown Prince, who was daily expeded trom Stockholm to review the men, preparatory to their embarkation. The rupture between Sweden and Denmark is acknowledged; each has recalled his accredited agelll and in slat- ing the grouirds of Ihcquarrel, Denmark does not, hesitate to throw the blame on the Allies.
