Their names are as fr Dow, viz.—Berica of 16 guns ; Sworica, of t 8; and Mamona, of 12." We yellerday announced the arrival of two Mcf fenger s from T. nnirgen. We have not been able to aicertain that they have brought ar.y intelligence that was new relating to the Expedition to the Baltic. The various rumours which prevailed at Yarmouth, and the place *here thcfe Meffengerb landed, are de tailed it; the following Letter : W INTF RTON, AUG. 24. " Two Kirg's Mcifergers have landed here. The only news they bring niative to the Expedition is, that the Fnglifh have pa', f Ron of copenhagen, and that the Royal Family hale left that City. This mws was brought by the Master of a fmall veffel from Hufum, and t 0441 to the Governor of Heligoland, from whom the Meirenger had it. who came over in the I.ady Nepean Packet, which had to fight her way out of the F.yder. It was alto reported at 'ronningen lad Monday, that upon Spanith troops bad marched into Hamburgh. " Lord Falkland, Captain of the Q2ehec frigate, has taken Os Danqh Greenland naps, Which are on their way to Yarmouth, nutter convoy of the Conftant gun brig; in which veffel is Mr. Thornton his Majeity's Miniller in Lower Saxony. Colonel Salter is alto artist*: at Yarmouth from Lord Hutchinfon. Mr. Jsckfot: fet out for Copenhagen in Ids than an hour after the Crown Prince left Kiel." _ _ _ M. F. sit FR, one of the above Meffengers, Rates, that I.e had been ordered to leave Tonningen imme diat ly, on the 14th ; and that on the 15th the packet was attacked by the Danifft guard (Lip off Tonningen. The ) :,u ird lhip v as towed up by five boats full of men, and coming vt i‘hin hail, was three times hailed by the Pat.ket. No anfv.er, however, having been returned, the packet fired, and fought her way with lime difficulty to Heligoland. It is added Oft), that the was fi. ed at by the Danifh batteries, and returned the flee very i fitly. The I..ady Nepean had about fit y fhot fired through her fails, but foil:tined no other damage. Mr. Jactsom was fuppofed to have joined the fleet, and gone on board Admiral Gam. stua's fhip. Whatever may be the refultof Admiral GAmllea's Expedition, we confefs, we (hall regret if a decifive aft has not long ago taken place. This we expetled, b , th for the advantage of Denmark and of this C. 'awry. Had the itl,And of Zealand, and the Panith Navy, been immedi ,tely feized, Denmark would not have incutted the charge either of a dereliElion of the line of neutrality, or of weaknefs. She would haver with truth ani realm', alleged the unexpeded attack by Sea, for which the was not prepared, and thus. have given no pretence for the hoflility of that Enemy, wh-fe mind is as fertile in pretences as the wolf in his tranfallions with the lamb. But fine, time has been given to Denmark to deliberate, the is reduced to a sliftrefpng dilemma. Either the has yi e lded to our terms cr not. If the BON/WAITS will le. ze her continental dominions, beetufe he will c untie. her a• attached to our caufe. if She has not, and if Zealand is conquered by our arms, he will cot& icr'her as too weak to prate& herfelf. and bring her under the ditalion of his irrelillible p3unfelr. Wi t h telpea to our .own intereft, the areas of de- lay are eq..tlly alarming. The Ifland has had fuf pcient time to put all her powers of defence into s aivi t y, to embody all her zeal and bravery, and to , prefect a fp rutidable teliflance. If eve Succeed, we ike bet, in Spite of her natural Rift to precerre our f.iendfhlr•. a declared enemy. If we flpinld be baf ii - fl:d in , tie attempt. we thall. acrortiing to the homely ez.bicifinn. have Ihewn par teeth. when we could not hi•e. We repeat our fentiments : we expeOed mnre fpirit,l mite decifinn, more aftion, from the manner in which the expedition had been fired out •nd fent to the &hie. On the policy of the tneafeire we are ter twin. olive bq one opinion. On this (Utica and on :he imprahllity of a peace at pretest with the Con tinental P.m era. all Politicians agree. and they are eq .ally clear on the neeeffity of maintaining our maritime rights. From the charaaerinic bravery of the Englint Armament before Denmark, it is imponible not to i augur an honourable termination of the expeited artelt ; hut it is equally impeffible not to forefee that the drat may be attended with the mon formi dable danger. The Public may form tome idea of this peiil, from the following cutlery review of the force of the enemy, and the nate of the works by which Copenhagen is defended ; The harbour of Copenhagen is circular, and tilt entrance into it from the Sea is a channel or gut, the middle of which only is navigable. The water on each fide is very fhallr , w, and defended by a peculiar kind of Military Wutk, called Naval Horns, the na ture and (lrcngth of which merit a more detailed ex planation. _ _ They are made of large timber beams from fizteen to thirty feet long. fhnd with iron, and put together like Chevaux de Frye. They are then put on Oat bot tom veffels, and funk three, four, and five feet beceatb the fut face of the water. In the Belts, and other paffages, particularly in the narrow channels where the water has neither tide nor current, they are eafily laid down and taken up, The Swedes were the fit who made Life of there works, and they have fubfe• quently been adopted both at Cronfiatelt and Copen hagen. The Efate of the airlift' Navy, which is all in the Inner Harbour, and which is defended by a line of thole naval horn works, being moored in an artificial canal, formed by the coaft on one fide, asd there lines on the other, is as follows; Line of Battle Ships Frigates 14 Flat bottomedboats mounting s cannons 3co Seamen 20,000 Men in the Dock Yards Stzwa The land force of Denmark is as follows ; DFNM•RK ♦NI,) NOATEIN.

L Gowsa, at St Pete; &wet. In the &Mince of all authentic intelligence refpec ting the aitual flare of affairs in the Baltic, a Va riety of reports, as is naturally to be expcoed, aie afloat,. chaiaglerillic of the public anxiety and folicitude. Amid the &ming rumours, !here was a report 'all night in the City, that after fome vigorous hollilities, the Danifh fleet had fallen into our hands, and that Copenhagen itself had been taken, with the lots, on our part, of 6,000 men. The report that reached us on Monday from Edinburgh, though with lets confiier.ce, was aim revived. It was added, the Danes had nt.t only voluntarily furrendered their fleet, but had alto requelled the allitiance and protec tion rf our armament againft the common enemy.— Such reports we may naturally ewe, till fome ast thentic and ~fscial communication !Lail relieve us from our prefint painful fulpence. Yellerday the Guards changed Q . 2arters, accord ing to annual cullom; thole that acre quartered on the Publicans went into Barracks. There was a change am: ng th.se in Barracks, and another bat talion wac lent to (tatters intlead of theft that went into Barracks. Government have futpended the volunteering from the Militia into the Line for a few days, in order that the getting in of the harvell may not be impeded, the military being generally emplord in that praiiewor thy bufinefs. The orders and inftruftinns we►e read yefterday morning to the Perth and Weft Norfolk Regimeats of Militia at Canterbury. The Perth were to turn out this day, and the Norfolk on the tft of September One hundred and fifty fine fellows from the North York Militia, at prefent fiati coned in Suffez. have vo. lunteered for the Regulars. I'he rendezvous for the Suffer diftriet is at Silverbill Barracks, where the Of ficers of the Royals are at pi efent waiting to receive the men who may volunteer.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER Flol4 MALTA,-DATIO Till LATTER END OF JUNE, 1807. eg A few days ago art ived here a Ruff() greek 'Wel from the Wand of Hydra, the Captain of which Rated to the Ruffian Envoy, Count Italinflcy, that an exprefs had come there from the Ruffian Admiral at Tenedos, with the account of an atlion having been fought on the 24th of May, between the Turkifh and Ruffian fleets, in which the Turks were defeated, with the 19fs of four (hips of the line wrecked i n the coati of Troy, amongit which was the (hip of the Capitan Pacha, a three decker. The Turks had to (hips of the line, three were three deckerr, betides frigates, corvettes, &a. making a total of 25 veffels, betides feveral tranfpnrts full of troops, which they landed nn Tenedos, hot were repulfed with the lofs of 3500 men. The Ruffians bad 12 Ikips of the line, betides frigates; their whole lofs is laid to be only 17 men, and the Vice-Admiral killed. This account is generally belie'ved here, as it is corrobo rated by feveral other conycyances." _ _ _ The Harlequin, Strairwattei, from London for Ja. maica, j3ined the outward bound fleet which put into Torbay on Sunday laa.' • Arrived, hit week, at Chatbatn, the Pao:salmis, of 3s guns, from Paul; near' Hall, and the Niuti.

It is imprffible to deferibe the melancholy glum which is vifible on the countenances of the compeer at this place, in confequence of the heavy fall a ri d a we have had daring the greater part of the day. Three packets arrived in the courfe of yefladay, uirh 300 heads of live dock from the metropolis. This frefh fupply, however, was not wanted, for the market was previoufly too full. In confequence of our not having accommodation for thefe new vifitoes, they were compelled to try whether they could gee any fort of fhelwr in the adjacent villages. But I am lorry to add, that many of them were difap. pointed, and obliged to fpend the night a le Atty. We have been infefled for the lag few days with myriads of the lady infe&. The pier parapet, the , verge of the fort, and, in fkort, ail the walls and hedges in the neighbourhood, are covered with than. ABERDiEEN, AUGUST 22. Tnefday lan, Barley Harveft began in this neigh. bourhood, where it will foon be general and abut'. dant. We are happy t•r fay, fimilar favourable ac counts, both of the commencement of the harvell and appearance of the crop, have ruched us from dif• ferent parts of the country ; and, if unfeaf"nable rain does not fet in, we have great reafon to believe, that the Barley and Oat Harveft will, in general, be earlier than was expeited. During this week, how. ever, we have had a good deal of vain, efpecially on Tuefday evening ha, when there was a very heavy fall for tome time, after a norm of uncommonly loud thunder, and the molt vivid Ratites of lightning, which ccntinued with great violence for feveral hours', fortunately unattended with any accident in this quarter. _ _ _ Saturday lag, imprefs warrants for the Nary were iffued here, under the orders of Captain Nero, the Regulating Officer at Leith. The militia in garrifon and recruiting parties were called out in aid f this fervice ; but notwithilanding the great activity (hewn on the occafion, very lit.le fuccefs attended their en. deavours, the feamen in general having fled and fe. creted themfelves, in confegcence of early notice being received of the circumtlance. A company of the militia marched the fame day for Peterhead, is execution of this duty; and having reached that place in the evening, without any alarm, fucceeded in fe. curing a confiderable number of pe ,, ple, the greater part of whom were afterwards diftniff:d, and a few ufeful hands oply cletained. Mr. Bowes, late Putter of his Majeny's fionp of war the NAUTILUS. which. was wrecked on a defer; ifland in the Archipelago fome months fine, arrived at Plymouth lalt week The Captain, and greater part of thf ctrof; it is fsid, were attually Owed to death.

GRAND Filys.The Officers of the Royal Stafford Militia gave a grand ball aid flipper in the barrack Yard, Wndioi, on Monday, t,, above tso guifhed vifilanr:, chiefly Nobility an,' Gentry in the env' r..us. A tempf.rar y creftion, ninety feet in length, was formed in the Bit ack Yard, in which the amr pang danced, and feats were formed for fuch as did nut j-in in that pallie. The ereaino was lighted up in a Ityle magnihc m ence. At one end was a crown ' in variroted Limps, and at the "the? end the Staffnrd knot. At one o'clock !tipper was ferved up in se very elegant ilvle, And afterward« a defrat was pl..red un the table, contolin4 of every delicacy that could be procured. At thee o'clock dancing recommenced, which Jailed until fix, when the comp Any broke up. Yeflerday the Festival of St. Louis was celebrated by all the French in this metropolis. At ten o'clocrk in the morning they affembled at the French chapel in King.lireet, Portnian.lquare, where High Kars was celebrated; and the chapel, with the addition of tome decorations for the occalirn, had a grand and folemn appearar ce. Ibe Griner was pert tined by the Bifhop of Thome, affined by the Abbe &mom., and the other Clergymen of that Chapel. Among the congregatinn were his Royal Highnet. 61011.1 E wi g Duke Dc Betas, Duke of Cler.saris, and Prince Ds Coitus, together with a mother of the French bl-bility, Chief Officers, and several Knights of the Olden of the H. ly Ghoß t and of St Lours, with the crones and other infignia of their refpedive orders and na tions, feycral military fficers of aranks ; 4c.

We are much furprifed to 4nd that a general ft*. culation for the Small Pox has very recently taken place in Aylffiani and its neighbourhood, and out readers, ie doubt not, will participate ip onr con. cern, when we add that four ine!ividuals have already fallen victims to a pradice which has long been dif. countenanced by the good f!nle and humanity 4 the country ; for it is a iamenrable fo, that four claim died there vithirr the loft toed under :noealationfor *Smog Pox, and how many more may be factificed in conic onence of its malignant poifon being thus wino* diffufed, time alone can afcertain.
