Reports claim Russian dispatches place forces near Stralsund with the Vigo and four battalions. A Moscow government notice describes French prisoner Vandamme as a 46-year-old average, two cubits tall, prompting public interest in viewing him.
The dispatch reports fast-moving Baltic theater updates with Gottenburgh mails and a messenger from Latins catching up as Prussian garrisons fall, Dresden surrenders, and Allied forces prepare for Holland. Dover and Folkestone carriers ferry pilots while Dutch batteries hold, and proclamations joy France’s fall.
The correspondent details a daytime attack against the French lines, dividing the enemy into two halves and pushing a center assault at dawn. The left and right wings advanced over the Nivelle vicinity, with significant gains on Sarre Ascain and nearby redoubts. The narrative notes cautious gains, repeated assaults, and the army’s northward push toward Bayonne as Buonaparte’s forces retreat toward the Rhine.
The dispatch notes Dutch schuyts arriving from Schievelinz with passengers Mrs. Murray and kin, one shipboard delivery to a British vessel in Closeley Bay. Reports on Prussians, Burgundy operations, and the Holland expedition with ships like the Jason frigate, King George packet, Dictator, Regulus, and others. Movements include troops aboard ships, address of garrisons, and anticipated embarkations while alerts mention Stettin, Beauharnois, and the anticipated Prince of Orange arrival. The piece also covers theater notices and local market and weather remarks in brief.
