JUNE 18.

Bremen and Hamburgh taken.—The Hamburgh mail bring the following article of intelligence:

"BREMEN, JUNE 5, 12 O'CLOCK at Night.

"Yesterday evening a French General entered this city. He immediately waited on the Chief Burgomaster, and desired, that all English property here, under whatever denomination it might be, should be taken possession of: and that all English sailors at present in this place, as well as all other persons belonging to the English service, should be put under arrest. As soon as this demand was made, the officer who had come with him, went away to Gen. Mortier."

What answer was given to this insolent and audacious request, we are not informed; and what number of English persons, or quantity of English property, might be at this time in Bremen, we cannot pretend to calculate. But, be that as it may, this outrage will not be confined to British subjects; some pretext will soon be found to involve the natives themselves in the confiscation.

There is little doubt but the same measure will take place at Hamburgh, which city, it was generally thought, would escape the danger that threatened it; but we are sorry to add, that such an expectation must be disappointed, as the French troops took possession of it on Sunday last, the 12th instant.
