[Oher] May 19. The French have had the good luck to set
about 2000 men on shore at Weysselmunde, who marched into
the Town of Dantzick with drums beating, colours flying, and
martial musick before them. They say they shall be speedily
followed by 15,000 more: The Russians own that they lost in
the two last attacks 3000 soldiers and 32 officers. This
General Munich has again summoned the town by letter to
surrender, demanding not only the Fort of Weysselmunde, but
one of the gates of the town, to be delivered up to him.
