The price of (corn and other Polish produce has; on this reason, experienced a rise in the prices. Almon 19.—A placard was issued on the 9th inst for Denmark and Norway, by which it is declared; that the Hanoverian, Hamburgh, Bremen, and Lu- 1 beck flags are n 9 longer acknowledged.

An Anholt Mail arrived this morning, but the In telligence brought by it is not of a very striking na• ture. From Heligoland we learn, that not the least communication was practicable with the adjacent continent, and the only business transacting there was shipping off the metehandiee to the Baltic, to Gteat Britain, and to the Mediterranean. The principal articles in progress of exportation were twist and in. digo. The Colonial produce had been nearly all withdrawn. The following are extracts from the Papers brought by the above Anholt Mail : The Princess Elizabeth packet, has arrived at Fal mouth from Lisbon with mails and dispatches, the substance of which we communicated yesterday. It is stated in private letters that, notwithstanding the approach of the allied army to Ciudad Rodrigo, it was not the intention of Lord WeLLINGTon seriously to lay siege to that place. The extensive plain in which it is situated would require a powerful, army to protect the assailants during the operations; and if ever Ciudad Rodrigo were again to devolve into the hands of the allies, it would not be retained as a mi litary situation, bet the works would be destroyed. —The plan of the French seems to be to penetrate into the north of Portugal ; but we know that great pains have Veen taken to defeat their purpose by the line of posts which has been established on that very strong district. • We yesterday gave an article from Buenos Ayres, which stated, that the Portuguese Government at the Brazils had sent a strong force to co-operate with the Spaniards under Ecto, at Monte Video. A Gentle man, who left Buenos Ayres so late as the Ist July, informs us that this statement is incorrect : on the contrary, it was hourly expected that the Viceroy am, with his few adherents, wouldembark on board the shipping in the harbour, and leave the fortress in the hands of their enemies, who were numerous both within and without the, walls. A Gentleman who has just reached Town from Cadiz, states, that there were• upwards of 1500 Spa nish Officers parading the streets and filling the cof fee-houses, who received pay from the Regency, with out being employed on any military service. The British troops are represented as being disgusted with this indolence, as well as all the well-wishers to the patriotic cause. The central army, under General FILEYRE, which BLAKE has now joined, consists of 7,000 men, well organized and disciplined. It has been greatly aug mented by recruits, and being supported by the whole population of Granada, it has abundance of supplies of all kinds. It is also furnished with a quantity of small artillery well suited to the country it occupies, and extremely destructive to the enemy. The castles abandoned by the French, in Baza Guadix Motril (where General BLAKE landed) Almeria, &c. have been mounted with cannon. At ten or twelve diffe rent points the number of 1000 men are stationed, by which expedient the French are grievously annoyed in almost every direction. PRESEURGH, MT 29. detaehment of Servians lately surprised a Tot kish earavAn which had passed the Drina, and was proceeding from Zuernik to Turkish Bibo. The escort defended themselves so valiantly, that the trier. chants lost but a few bales of goods. VIZNNA,./ULY . hostilities have already commenced between the Turks and Servians; there have been, in fast, but some unimportant affairs, but every thing announces *at great events will immediately take place un the Servian frontiers. We are assured that the Turks are preparing for an attack on the Servian entrenched camp at Ode grade—this camp has lately been fortified with the utmost care. The respective corps d'armies which are to occupy the banks of the Drina, have not yet ar tived—strong detachments frequently pass and com mit robberies on the opposite side. The country is devastated. The troops which are to proceed to Pres burgh will set out in eight days. The Grand Vizier has advanced all his disposable force towards the Da nube, which leads us to suppose he intends invading Wallachia. The corps of reserve which had united in the environs of Sophia, have marched to approach the army of the Grand Vizier. FRANKFORT. AUGUST 4. Since the last measures adopted in the States of the Confederation of the Rhine, relative to the con fiscation of colonial products, and the suppression of all certificates delivered in Russian ports, this branch of commerce is in a complete state of stagnation.— Hitherto Bavatia, Suabia, Bohemia, Silesia, and other countries, received a supply o: colonial products through the commerce of Saxony ; and this com merce met with no opposition, with the exception of toffee, the importation and circulation of which was prohibited throughout all Austria. But this interme diate Saxon trade has entirely ceased, in consequence of the edicts published in the States of the Confedera tion of the Rhine, according to which no other than certificates stating, in the most strict manner, the amount of the impost which had been paid on each article. As this indication i 3 not to be founded on the certificates of origin with which the colonial pro ducts were accompanied, nor in the certificates de livered ih the intermediate places, those who ha4e eolouial produce in Saxony are obliged to suspend forwarding them. At Leipaic, the Commission sent from Dresden has proceeded to strictly examine the eertificates ; the result of this examination has proved, that almost all these certificates are informal, and in consequence of which a fresh impost of £4. 13s. per mot. has been laid on all colonial goods warehoused in that town. The holders of colonial merchandist in this town have been obliged to pay the sum of 914,000 rise dollars for those productions in their pos session imported from Sasony, furnished with Rus sian certificates. CHRISTIANSAND;AUGUST S. Captain Holm, with the brigs of war Leal The capture of the French ship Entreprenante, by the ATALANTE. is made still less doubtful than ever by the following article in the last American Papers : NE*-Yosar., AUG. 3. The following extract is copied from Captain Bul keley's log-book :- 0 , Remnks, Sugday, July 11, ISM—Fresh breezes and plea ant weather. At five p. ni. saw two ships under our lee, stand , ing to the eastward. At six p. m. saw , them engaged, and after exchanging a few broadsides, saw one of them strike her colours. At seven p. m. was boarded by the Lieutenant of his Britannic Majesty's sloop of war Atalanta, of 24 guns, Captain Hickey.— The Lieutenant informed us the other ship was the French Ns. denial ship Enteeprenmte, of S guns, a prize to the sloop of war. The sloop of war had one man killed, and four wounded ; and thirty men killed and wounded on board the French ship. She was from Brest, bound to New-York, and had dispatches on board for our overnment. " Captain Bulkley informs, that he saw the above action—that the Atalanta was to windward during the engagement—that the French ship was a proper frigatehuilt vessel, and appeared to be one quarter larger than the Atalanta—that the French ship, after the first broadside, wore round, and gale another , broadside, the Atalanta keeping up her fire it; her first position until the second broadside was fired from the French ship ; then the Atalanta% wore and conti nued tke engagement, which from this time till the French ship struck, was 15 Minutes. " The Lieutenant of the Atalanta shewed. Captain Bulkeley a shot-hole near the fore-chain of his vessel, which had broke the waist in. Neither of the vessels appeared to be much injured; but daring the engage ment Captain IL saw the main topsail of the French ship come down on the cap. owing to the tie having been shot :Swap" . .l, - • , Kiel, and Lougen, tmdar.his command, has retaken from an English brig and cutter, one or two galliasses. laden with corn from Jutland. By the report of some respecteble persons who saw the brig at sea after the engagement, (she was formerly the Danish brig Brevdrager), we learn that the iss in a deplorable . - #iit• . testenlay the D_olie of tolit held , it his Offiee, in the Horse Guards, and gale audience to a nembei or Military Officers I among them were Sir Ba*.n &ikon, on his return from Pdinsgal, road General Gownia, on his return front Lidri.

Colonel Wav, who was so desperately wounded in the late glorious action in Portugal, came over at the same me. Yesterday the Westmeath Militia, a very fine tegi: {treat, anieed at Portsmouth, from Ireland. They are commanded by the Earl of WRtTAIRATIf. The City of Dublin and Limerick regiments of Militia are" also arrived at Portsmouth. The Warwickshire Militia left Lewes Barracks last week for Ireland ; and the divisions of the 52d and 68th Infantry, left there when these regiments tc their departure for Portugal, have received routes to march to Silver-hill. These removals from Lewes Barracks are to make room for some of the Irish Militia, which have been landed at Portsmouth, and will shortly arrive at their respective destinations. The transports to take on board the East Kent for Dublin, were expected at Falmouth yesterday. Monday se'nnight, the 2d Surrey Regiment of Militia, lately landed at Cove from England, ar rived in Tullamore, from whence they proceeded to William, where they are to he stationed for some , time, as already stated in the STAR. His Majesty's brig WOLVERINE, with about 24 transports, under convoy, with Cavalry and Foot for Lisbon, sailed from Falmouth on Monday. Major-GeneralCLAY has taken his pissage on board the Irlam letter of marque, of Liverpool, for Bar., badoes. I Part of the fleet of transports which carried out the 9th Dragoons and other reinforcements to Portugal, have revolted to Plymouth. Captain MILLER, of the 79th or Cameronian regiment, a Major of the Duke of BRUNSWICK'S corps, and a Lieutenant of the 79th who had lost his leg in the memorable battle of Bit-, saco, were landed from one of them. They left the Allied Army about three weeks since, in excellent _health and spirits, rapidly advancing to the North : some part had already arrived near their old ground on the Coa ; and as the French army was in motion on the same line of march, and appeared determined to make an attempt on the side of Oporto, it was the general opinion, that a decisive action would slinitly take place; and should MARUONT pass the Coa, as his present movemenu seem to indicate, such an event must be inevitable in the vicinity of the Coa or Douro, and at no great distance f‘orn Oporto. Two regiments of cavalry, and part of a third, had joined our army ten days previous to the departure of the above gentlemen ; and no accident had occur red to any of the transports. ...

The answer to the inquiries at Kensington Palace, yesterday, respecting the Mire of Sussex, was, that his Royal Highness was much better. The paragraph in some of the papers, stating that the whole of the KING'S rooms and furniture were stuffed and madded, and that the floors of the rooms were covered with cork, to prevent his doing himself injury, was totally ,void of foundation. The KING has only occupied three rooms during his violent at tacks, viz. a bed-room, dressing-room, and a room adjoining, called the Blue-room, from the ornaments and furniture beinx blue. It is said that Colonel WARDLIC wiU not again be returned for Okehampton. Sir SANILIRL ROMILLY is expected to offer himself as a candidate fur Middlesex. Mr. GRANT has been on a visit for some days canvassing at Grimsby, but his expectations not being realized, it is Understood that he will not offer himself as a candidate. Tua SIEGE AND NAVAL ENGAGESIINT.—We have not for a considerable time seen such rim* yet in genious little works as Mr. NAWTON'S SIEGE and NAVAL ENGAGEMINT. They are calculated at once to improve the memory and recreate the mind. They combine a code of calculation which will be found equ.slly useful to the tyro either in naval or military studies, and serve the auxiliary purpose of amusement with inctruction.—Naval and Military Academies will be served at the wholesale prices, by applying to J. BUCKLAND, No. 23, Brook-street, Holborn. Tux Comm—The Comet observed last Spring in France, was also seen to the Eastward of the Cape of Goiod Hope, and is the Southern Hemisphere, by the fleet lately arrived from China. It &it appeared to them about the end of March, or btginning of April, in lat. 20. S. and long. 80. E. or thereabouts, and continued visible until their arrival at St. Helens, in the latter end of May, when it had approached the sun so much as to set before the termination of the twilight. From its position, they inferred that it must have been equally visible here as it was to them. We hear that a question of some importance is about to be discussed in Parliament :—A Gestleinan has been imprisoned in Guernsey for having 44 gui neas in his possession, which were obliged to be taken at €1 Ss. each, being the currency of that island, the Gentleman having preferred Bank of England noes, but owing to the stopping of the Oinks theie was none to be had, with which, guineas be was about to sail to England in the Governor's cutter Mary, Capt.

Some weeks since, a boat belonging to the island of Yell, in Shetland, in which were six men, foundered on that coast, and all on board perishei ; by which lamentable accident no less than 29 children have been left fatherless. In a violent gale. at New Liverpool, North Am.- rica, Capt.

In this state the vessel drifted op ' the Frith about three miles, when she struck upon a bank, where she lay until the flood-tide ; when she again floated, and beat along the bank about 1 5 miles. when - she again took the ground, opposite Skinburn ness.
