As we announced in part of our impreffion of yef terday, Mini(lers have at laff received letters from Admiral GAILBUIR, belt as they came by the Gotten burgh Mail, and not by any cutter or fpecial mef fenger, their contents •re not thought of much im portance. The Datil% accounts Rate, that Admiral Gamma was off the Cattegat on the tR intim, and he waft have reached Copenhagen by the 3d. — His approach does not Teem to have given any alarm to thc Daus; to them tintefort, we may coucluck the °N.:a of his million is known to be pacific. A 'oeiief Items to gain ground that the two expeditiuns lately difpatched firm this country, have one anti the fare Objea in view, as tense accounts Rate that Admiral Gahtlillsit was lying to in the Baltic, vvait• ing the coming up of the whole of the tranfports. Minifters, however, do not expat any thing in the fhspe of difpatches, refpeCting the operations of Ad GAMBIWS expedition, until Friday or Satur. day next. Yetierday, Colonel HAMILTON, of the Royal Waggon Train, arrived at the Duke of Yoxes Office, from Stralfund. Since writing the above, another Gottenbirrgh Mail has arrived, bringing the following important intelligence : Extra& of a letter from Gottenburgh, dated 3d of Auguft, 1807 The Englifh stoop of war Mofqnito, arrived here the day before yefterday, when an officer landed from her for the parpofe of procuring pilots for the Belts, but without fUccefs ; and yefterday the Englifh fleet deftined for the Baltic paffed this place ; thirty fail were feen from our rocks; as the wind has been very fair they mutt bcfore this time have reached Copen hagen. " Private letters from Copenhagen, received by yeßerday's poft Rate, that General Bernadotte (the Prince of Ponte Corvo), was with the Prince Royal of Denmark, at Keil, and that a large French army waited his commands ; if this be true, the Englifh Fleet could not have arrived at a more critical j.inC ttue. We have no news to day from Stralfund." Advice% were yefle day received from Monte Video, dated May 27, at which time General CIAUFURD had not arrived, nor had any thing cccurred worthy of r.otice. Givernment yeltcrday received difpatches from the Cape vf H ape. We announced yefterday that a Board of Field Officers of the Royal Artillery, of which Lieut.

Tice late unfortunate Admiral ViLLENEUVA experi• ence,: every token of liberal attention from tlae hof pirality of that tow!, and neighbourhood, which his dittinguifited, but ill-requited merit could entitle him to, and it is to be hoped that the Spanifh Go. vernor may iire to enjoy an opportunity of recording the civilities of Engliliimen among his more generrus countrymen, which was denied to the unfortunate French Admiral. Glafgow h the fitft city in the kingdom which has completed a monument to the memory of Lord Net.sos. The building was finilhed a few days ago, when it was decn•ated with four flags, and three cheers were given by the workmen on the top, and a great concoutfe fpea.ttors of embled on the Green. The v diets at the Bronmielaw alfo had their flags hoifled all day nn the occalion. The mnbument hands on the High Green, is 145 feet high, and is to be the termination t.t Clyde-lireet. The Committee, we under-IL:id, have received a number of appro. priate infcriptions, but have not yet determined on the one to be pref..rred. It is flid that after the battle of Eylati, Navotann offered terms of peace to PruiTia ; he required no. thing Not the cefliun of lands beyond the Wefer.— The 1;tm: rs AS not ditinclined to accept thefe terms, and advited with the Emperor ALstAiintra, who would nt t content to his Infing a foot of land.—By the Treaty of Tittit the latter has changed thefe fen. (intents. He has ceded nothing hut a paltry elate in Ea:t (Jever), which belonged to the Em prets CATHERINE in her bwn right ; and, as an, in. denitaricatinn, receives an handfome addition to his Pnln territory ! EXTRACT i.F A LETTER TROIS MONTS 11010, DATED APRIL 26, 1807. " A Flag of Tt uce was fent up to Buenos Ayres fome time ago, to propofc an exchange of prifoners, which the Spaniards rejected ; in confequence of which all the Spanifh Officers at Monte Video, that are prifoners, have been fent on board of (hips to ?,,o to En : iland ; but about eight days ago we fent ano. ther flag, to repeat the offer, and to inform them, that it an antwcr did not arrive within eight days they b: fent off at the expiration of that time. The A. Y of truce returned about half an hour ago, teje6ing the propofal a fecund time s although the iliongett appeals that humanity could fuggell were made to the pafons now in power at Buenos Ayres by the unfortunate wives and families of the puifo. nets taken at the liege of Monte Video, which only procured parniflion for them to write to their hub. bands, before they failed: and never was there a permiffi , n granted with a more villianous and cruel defign, f)r no 13oner had the poor creatures written than both they and their letters were (cited, by the wretches in power. It is neceffary to inform you that a great many of the officers that defended Monte Video, were relidents of Buenos Ayres, and that they left their wives and families at home, who made the above appeal, and who new have their miferies doubled." Bread was ordered by the Lord Mayor yefferday to be continued at the fame price as IA week, viz. t tic'. the (pattern loaf of wheaten, and tc.id. houfe• hole. rt Oa Thurtday lall, at Hammerfmith, a farmer's (avant drank, for a trifling wager, a quart of Hol lands in the (pace of four minutes, the limited time was (even minutes, after which he immediately left the public houfe where he drank it, and was found in an adjoining field, about an hour after, in a flee of total infenfibility, and notwithftanding every atflf lance was rendered him, he cspiccd in a few hours. SECOND EDITION. STAR OFFICE; Te fpell to the regiftering of arms, had been executed ~,;! 1 , great mildnets, And in refpeet to the fearchin, ; for arms, had never been ailed npnn at all, ben i.; cafes of recefli•v. It was in fad a mere renewal of an Aft extremely well known tbrou 2 hout the coon try. and he did nut conceive it ticceittry to extend the term nn the ground of any furprife from an ig notacce of t'le law . Lord HA RDWICRE thought, that the ,bferva tions of the Learned Lord had rather confirmed than refuted what he had fuggetted upin the fubjea : for the very circumflance of the mild and lenient manner in which the Aft had been executed, had almoll rendered it obtolete ; and he believed, in point of feel, that the neceffity of regiltration had been ad vetted to by very few perfons, and thus, in point of fairnefs and palace, it was necefisry to be particu larly attentive tn the effeetnal promolgationof the law. The propolition of Earl Hardwicke was negatived. Lord HOLLAND moved an Amendment, to lie mit the duration of the Ad to one year, and to the end of the then next Seffion of Parliament, which, in fact, extended it to two years. He obferved, that what had been Rated by the Noble Earl in regard to the regiftration of arms, appeared to be perfectly ' correct; the regiftration was in feet a meafure of mildiefs and lenity, but if the neceffity of it fhould not be generally known, it would become a meafure of extreme feverity. Lord HOLLAND moved that the period of fearching for arms fhonld be between fno•fet and fun-rife. was all') negatived. The Houfe returned, the Report was received, and the Bill nreered r o be read a third time to-morrow. Lord HOLLAND inquired at what hour ? and was anfwered, at halt paR four, or a quarter from five o'clock. The Curates indemnity i• ill was read a fecond time, and refer kcJ to a Committee, confirltvg of site Peer.= preterit, with liberty to fit to morrow forenoon Adjourned tid to-tnorzuw (This uay.)

A rumour was prevalent this morning, that a flag of truce had arrived from France, but we cuuld not trace the report to any authentic fource. RANSG.4TE, AUGUST it.

Hl3 MAJESTY'S SALE OF SPANISH SHEEP...--YeaCr day morning, about ten o'clock, the Breeders and Genticinen, who were engaged in rearing of Spann Sheep, began to affemble in the Paddock, South of the Pagoda, at Kew, and entered on their examina tion of the 42 Merino Sheep, in as many pens, which had been felefted out by the ftmerintendants of hi, fvlajefty's Farming Concerti at Kew, for file on this occafion : thefe confined of fourteen l'uotoothed Rams, two fix-toothed Rams, feventeen fall mnuthed Ewes, four tix-toothed Ewes, and four other ailed or broken-mouthed Ewes, all of the true Merino breed, without any mixture or crofs of other breeds. In general, it teemed from this examination, that the fheep were confiderably larger than thole fold by his Majefly four or five years ago, when this Pale was firil efiabliftied, and much improved in careafe, and were equal, if not fupetior, to any before fold, in the finenefs of their wool. On the 3oth tilt. a Corporal and a party of the Edinburgh Militia were fent to &oil a defer ter f7nrn Dunbar Barracks to Bedford. On their return 1 ,, hend-qvatters, they agreed with a fifherman to land them at one of the Bays between Dunbar and St. Abb's Head.
