AT the distance of about five miles from the Baltic Sea, at the junction of the Mottlau and Radanne with the Vistula, rise the towers of the town and fortress of Dantzic, in the West Prussian province of the same name. It is situated very agreeably in a fine country: on the western side are eminences, which are fortified towards the town; while meadows and fertile marshes surround the city on the south-east and north sides.
