7 the Admiral of the nation, who is to communicate to Miniffeks. By the latter . part, tie right of fearch ing (hips of war, as lately enforced in the cafe of the American frigate Chefapeak, is unequivocally re. nounced ; and hence the principal nbaacle to an ad. jufiment of the exilling differences with Ametica is serpored. We {hall take an early opyortunity of "Offering Tome obferrations on this fubjea. Captain Jonasow, of Shields, arrived in the River on Friday evening from Crontladt. He Rates, that be failed from that port on the 29th ultimo, which is three days later than the failing of Capt. COLLETT, whole intelligence we mentioned on Friday. Captain Jr:mama Rates that he toc . k his departure when not more than half loaded, in confequent:e of an intima tion from Mr. BOOZER, the confidential agent of the Britilh faitory at Peter (burgh, that a general em bargo upon Britilh veffels was immediately to be apprehended. Mr. Boort sa, who is Paid to ad gene rally for all the Britilh merchants who trade with Ruffia, made a fimilar communication to that re ceived by Captain JOHNSON to the other veffels at Cronßadt, which amounted to 33. all of which were ufing• their utmoß endeavours to get away. An im snenkhoom was conftruEted for the port of Croolladt. We have teen a Gentleman, who left Copenhagen on the 23d ult. under convoy of the Asraea frigate, Captain Dictum, with 66 fail in company, of which fourteen were tranfports and five bomb-tenders, all laden with naval gores, and forty-five detained Danes. The BON Errs failed two days before with about 23 fail more of detained Danes. The trait (ports have brought to Der ford the materials of two of the Dann line of battle flips, which were taken to pieces. He left the Leyden and Texel, and 36 fail of tninfports laden with naval (lore., and 30 fail getting ready to be laden. The whole of the trauf ports lying these are about 350 fail ; the battering train had been all embarked before he left the plate, end the intention then was to embark the troops on the to itia. Ten thoufand of the troops were to embark In the Danifh 'hips (which were all to be filled with (pars and flares) to help to work them to England. Nothing but public property, was touched; a geantity of iron which was lying in the Dock Yard, being claimed as private property was given up. There was no idea of onr keeping poll'eflion of Zealand when he left it ; the Admiral and Officers were tiling the greateß exe:tions to leave it at the Mpitation of the fix weeks. Sir SAMUEL HOOD commanded at the Dock Yard, to embark the gores, ire. There was no interruption to our people going into Copenhagen, which they had done for fome time to purchafe provifions. Mr. COLLIER (brother of Sir Grottos Cowie) is the Agent for the whole of the Dana (hips. Three Ruffian fail of the line, three frigates and a ftnre (hip, newly fitted, from Archan gel, anchored at Elfintur on tilt 22d, going up the Baltic. The lateft letters from Lifbon are Af the date of the 7th inltant. Some ( f them Rate that a popular in• forredion had taken place irr that city on the preced ing day, which had not terminated when the letter was difpatched. The objedt of this intim-ration was to prevent the failing!): the (hips, which Were pre paring to fell down the Tagus, and were fuppufed to indicate the emigration of the Royal Family. No great effort appears to have been made by the police to put down this infurredion, probably from the ap prehenfion of augmenting its fury. It is feared in the letter ste have alluded to, that inch of our coustryrnen as are leaving Portugal, and hart any property to difpofe of, are obl;ged to accept eae half the purchafe muney in Gevernmtnt pper• We have not ken any ordonance importing fuch an obligation ; but it is pofitively alledged to exift—if fo, the grievance moll be more leverely felt by the Engliffinicn, not only on account of the decree, in ferted in our tali, with regard to the fafpenfion a the payment of inland bills, but becauf e G ove rnment pa- I per has fallen from 16 to ao per cent. difcount : of south. the property we allude to is difp'fed of at an immenfe facrifice. The Portugnefe people are in the laR letters de kribed as unfriendly, or rather hoflile, to the Englifb. It is faid, that Admiral Po RVI S, with the fquadron ander his command, is ordered to the Tagus, from their Ration off Cadiz. We fhould rejoice to be able to Rate this from authority, becaufe the Britifh might then be able at 'earl to lave their property. Such was the eagernefs of the Briti(h families to return to England, and loch the difpolition of {hip erasers to avail themfelves of that eagernefs, that no es than toool. was aftually paid by one family for is palage to this country.

Generals WIIITELOCK and Goss were not to em bark till the lail of the lall divifion were o#, and cannot be looked for in England for a tong time. We are forty to learn that many of the wounded had died of locked jaws.

The Ruffians, after hay ing withdrawn their troops, detlroyed every thing of fuhtinence on the Maud of Tenedos ; the Turks landed soon men, and the inhabitants, after placing themfelves under the proteaion of the Ruffian flag, revolted, and turned to the enethy. The Ruffians Coon got the better of them, and obliged every one to quit the Ifland, excepting a few, whom they took prifoners, and employed undermining the fart and batteries. The Turkifh fquadron, which accompa nied the (mall craft, with troops, were engaged by the Ruffian fleet, who took one line of battle !hip, and defiroyed two frigates.
