_ - mei 1 ANHOLT MAIL. STOCKHOLM, NOVEMBER 9. We learn, by a letter from Heligoland, that the Emperor Napoleon was expect‘datHambnrp,h about, the 25th of October, when he was to have an inter view with the King of Denmark. NOVEMIIER 11. It is niw a well known fact, that the recent de mand of the Emperor Napoleon was for eight thr.u• sand of our troops to be supplied for the purpose of reinforcing his army in Sp n. The answer of our Government was, that Sweden not being a member of the Rhenish Confederacy, was under no cbl ga tion to furnish a quota'of troops, and moreover, that it maintained nomore than were necessary for its own security. We have .not heard whether the demand has been repeated. ODFNSEE, NOVEMBER s. Yesterday evening a boat arrived here from Oise with the intelligence of au English frigate, which has taken her station between Oise and Lyse, .having made prize of several vessels, among which are four belonging to Oise. All kinds of provisions are now risen to a most enormous price— beef, and all other sorts of meat, are advanced to four times their usual price, and the supplies very scanty. The following Mcmorialhas beenpresented among [ the Mercantile. class : The undersigned has received the Committee's letter of- the 4d .ult. and thereupon produced the ,• following specific rejsly from his Majesty. That although we have with pleasure and great satisfaction observed that the majority of the Mer chants, and other opulent inhabitants of Copenhagen, who have been required to take part in the loan of four millions banco marks, required for our finances, have with the mcilllaudable promptitude, nay many even with a degree of exertion that does honour to their patriotism, pi oved themselves fully worthy ofthe confidence of their country's father, yet at the same ' time it would not escape our observation that among the few, who paying more attention to their private interests than the welfare of the State, there are some who endeavour to evade contributions to the public necessities, by refusing to subscribe their proportion to the loan which the urgency of the State requires. Under any other circumstances we should pass over the conduct of a few discontented individuals, with out any further intimation of our displeasure, with a mere sensation of pity, such as is due to every one Who is so blinded by selt-interest, that he cannotraise himself to make a prOportionate voluntary offering for the bane* of that -community of which be is a member--but, in this present instance, where:the ob ject is the support rf private credit, necessary for up holding the credit of the State, we must regard, it as our Regal duty towards those who have voluntarily contributed, to enforce the same from all others who have the means so to do, although they may have hat dihood sufficient to disregard the censure of their fellow-subjects. " It is therefore our Royal will and pleasure that every one who has hitherto neglected to comply with the request made to them by our appointed Commit tee, in proportion to their fortune and means, shall, within eight days, fulfil the same, or otherwise be subjected to contribute to the loan, by such sum as the Committee sb ill deem to be proportionate and conformable to his property or income—and, it is our further will, that the interest allowed on volun tary contributions, shall not be enjoyed by such per tons from when the loan is enforced; which Resolu tion is herewith given to the Committee, to he by them carried into effect.

ST./Mt:mm*B DaT.—•lionday at the Public Offices. •Thishlp Lord Wellington is arrived at Portsmouth from Gijon. Captain TAW., her, ,Commandpr, has written, that owing to a report that General Box ):ET had entered Asturias at the head of 40(X) men, and was marching against Oviedo and. Gijon, he had slipped his cable, and sailed without enquiring further into the subject ; that the British Consul, Mr. KELLY, also took die alarm, on the report being spread, and sailed on board Captain TATE's ship ; but hay. ing business of some moment to settle in Llanis, he was landed at that port, when a dreadful storm came on, which obliged the Captain to put to sea for safety, without being able to return to take Mr. KELLY on board, who of course was left to shift for Captain TATE adds, that" the Frcnch were reported to have entered Gijon on t%e ith instant; but that his-information rests entirely upon the assertion of those persons who took the alarm on th e report being first circulated." Letters have been received from Surinam of the 80th of September, which ment;on the circumstance of the Governor of that settlement having issued a Proclamation, ordericg, that in future-no bills of Ex- change should be` issued there, they being found to he prejudicial to the resident - merchants; 'that in future %he troops should be provided for out of "the resources the colony; that in the event of aortkills &Mehl fron t England, or powers of attorney, they should be paid at die Talc of 42 guilders the pound sterling.-- Tae 1 tiers conclude by saying, that these new pro * omens are for the purpose of cicouraging the planters; and enabling them to sell their produce_ to adiantage. We are informed, that within the last few days lrtt oieeven Tess :As, from the coast of Holland, hare been seized in the River, by an Adniira Order, on information having been regularly given, that such vessels had violated the condition of their licences, by tailing from ports that are declared in a state of blockade by the Dritisb Orders in council, IRELAND. Dublin Pa. ers of Wednesd.l arrived this morn ing, They contain some further proceedings in the Court of King's Bench on the subject of the Catholic Delegates, but our Re idtrs will perceive, as ire have more than once predicted, that the verdict of the Jury, in . the case of Dr. SHERIDA Y ) has in all proba bility, set the matter at mt. The following account of the proceedings is taken from the Dublin Evening Herald : " COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, NOV. 27. " This day Mr. GooLD, after some prefatory ob. servations as to the necessity of quieting the public mind, on the subject of the pending trials, expressed a wish that the Court should determine the exact time at which his Clients might expect that event to take place. " CHIEF Just . tcz.—l believe 'there is no intention to commit any obstinate or violent outrage upon the law ; all that is necessary in case of trial will be to shew that the Traversers have done such acts as a Jury may discover to have been illegal. But I hope it may not be necessary to proceed further in the bu siness—Should that be the case, it will be a very great satisfaction to this Court, and, I hope, to the Country. .. • 64 Mr. GOOLD.-my Lords, I should be glad to know from the Attorney-General, on what day, in the next term, it will be his convenience to attend. " ATTOR/TEY.GENERAL. —lf it be the desire of the Tmversers, the trial shall take place as early as pos sible in the next term ; but I do hope that no act.will take place si.4ilar to that which has been pronounced illegal by your Lordships. 44 Mr. GooLD.----The public tranquillity is connect,. ed with the ultimate decision of these trials, and the Traverseri have a'right to expect as public a trial as possible. " The ArronnEY-GmettAt. said, that it would take place in the usual course. " CHIEF Jusrtoz—lt must proceed in the ordinary way. gg Mr. GoOtn—My Lord, some of these Gentle. men are professional men, and they ought not to be required to attend here from day to day, to the very great detriment of their other affairs. They ought to have a particular day set apart for their trial. ATTORNEY-GENEnAL—Nothing, I hope, has yet appeared in this business to warrant the supposition, thatit is my wish to throw any obstacle in the way of the traversers being accommodated. It was not my fault that the 'business has occupied so much of ' the time of 'your Lordships ; it was the course taken' by the traversers Counsel themselves, which has re tarded the proceeding. 14 Cuter JUSTIOE—I am sure these ecademen have nothing to complain of—l will mention the first Monday, after the first day of the ensuing Term, to proceed in this trial. 46 Counsellor O'Coustar.z.—My Lord—l am in structed by Mr:Kirwan to state to the Court, that he is re.tdy and willing to 'abide his trial at the sittings of Nisi Primr. g Judge OSBORNE-It cannot be done. 44 Counsellor O'CONNELL—My Lord, I have, my self no less than great reason to wish for the speedy and ultimate decision of this question. lam not in sensible to the unworthy imputations which have been cast upon the Catholic body. 44 Arroand GIBIARRAL—My Lord—No such thing hat fallen from m', as an imputation upon the Ca tholic body. I did acquit the catholic body of any participation in what vas going forward. 44 Cum Jusrlca—l did not heat any such im putation. " Judge Doi—Mr.• O'Connell—lf any such- im putations, as you'allude to, were thrown out, we must have hard them—for my part I did not. " Counsellor O'Cosuzu.—l have taken down not less than seventeen passages of the Attorney General's speech, each of which, I will be -bold to say, does materially affect the reputation of that great and re spectable body, of which I have the honour to be a member—and I will observe, in contradiction to the assertion of any man—l care not what or who he is, that the Catholics of Ireland are as distinguished ior disinterested ..nd enthusiastic loyalty as any other class of his Majesty's subjects. C EF JUSTIOE.-I protest Mr. O'Connell we see no necessity for going into the subject, after it has been disclaimed over and over—that there was any sort of intention to cast imputations on the Catholic Body ' such as you mention. 46 Judge OSBORNE. —Clearly, by all means—it has been repeatedly disclaimed. d ‘. CHIEF Joince.—This is not the time, Mr. O'Con nell, to ,enter into this business ; you should have , made these observations when the Matter occurred. I 66 Counsellor CPCONNELLMy Lords, at t%e mo ment the expressions were uttered I could have con tradicted or corrected.them ; but I felt that it would have been indecorous and irregular in me to interrupt the Attorney-General in the middle of his statement. 66 ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I should have been much obliged to Mr. O'Connell to have interrupted mc, if l I made use of any expressions such as be seems to think I did. 6 4 Counsellor O'CoNmILL—I shall not trespass fur ther on your Lordships. I will rest satisfied by saying, that any reflections or imputations which have been east on the Catholics of Ireland, from any quarter, are utterly and absolutely False and Ground/tit. gs Serjeant Moona—There ii no use in pronouncing words 61 false and groundless," which were never cnnken. rill PRESS. 41 AnonszYZENsaAL—My Lord, t hold in my hand a paper with the signature of Cam:llu% (the Attorney-General should have said Callimachas), it has been published in a Newspaper called the Even ing Herald—l shall read part of it for your Lord ships; (hare the Attorney-General read the first and the latter, part of the Letter) and concluded by say ing, that it contained most offensive matter; that it was a gross and scandalous attempt to interfere with the jurisdiction of the Court, and the privileges of the Petit Jury, who tried Dr. Sheridan. He concluded by moving for a conditional order, for a criminal at tachment against the Proprietors of the Evening He rald.--Motion granted. ANOTHER CRIMINAL ATTACHMENT I . " Mr. Serjeaut MOORE moved for a conditional or der to obtain a criminal attachment against the Pro prietor of the Wally Me:tenger, for publishing the same paragraph, as well as we could collect, as that for which conditional orders have been granted against the Proprietors of the Dublin Evening Post acid Freeman': Journal." NEW ADMINISTRATION.' TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.. - - Sin-13y your own account you have some very respectable correspondents,one of whom has furnished you with a list of a New Administration. The deli cate business of that arrangement, notwithstanding your high authority to the contrary, is not yet finally settled. The list of the Gallant Member for West minster and the Hon. COCHRANE JOHNSTON is subject ' to revision., The PRINCE REGENT has, however, al ready decided that Lord COCHRANE shall not, at this time, be called to the head of the Admiralty ; and I can assure the friends of his loyal Highness the Duke of YORK, that they need be under no apprehen sions that the other Honourable Gentleman is about to be appointed commander in chief, One great error in the list from your Respectable correspondent I beg you will immediately correct :—for Mr. PERCIVAL'S' call to the House of Peers, &c. read Lord COCH• RANZ to be removed by writ, (not from the jail of Malta, but) from the House of Commons by.the stile and title of BARON HOAX of Making-game Shire. To these alarming alterations I take upon me to affirm, having examined the matter thoroughly, and to them only, must be ascribed the fall in the funds. I hope, Mr. Editor, as a return for this correct and authentic intelligence, that you will use your influence with the Lord Mayor and Aldermen to get my re lease, by Royal authority, from this place, in which I have been confined ever since I worked so hard in - the West Indies, under a scorching sun without any beer. I think, Mr. Editor, it would not be amiss to speak 'to the Lord Chancellor about this, and by way of inducement inform his Lordship that as soon as I am released 1 shall put an end-to all farther importa tion of Potash, so that he may assure the Cabinet that they need be under no hesitation about going to war with America. I have a certain way of using wind compressed in bags by which I produce a great , noise : I think if this invention were known there would be nothing to be apprehended from a lee shore. Give my respects to your " Beiteciable quarter"-1 don't mean your mutton. Your sincere and dutiful Correspondent, Qt7Z beFUN. Bedlam, 29th Nov. A.D. 1811. The report of the state of the KING yesterday was, " That his Majesty continues in the same state, eats his meals regularly, but gets very little rest." Yesterday, about 12 o'clock, the QUEEN,.

Yesterday a Courtof Directors was held at the East India House, when WILLIAM PETRIE, Esq. of the Ma dras Establishment, wasappointed Governor of Prince of Wales's Island. The ship Earl St. Vincent was stationed for Madras and Bengal, instead of the Cey lon. Captain Dusist.croN was sworn into the com mand of the ship Larkins, destined to St. Helena and Bengal, as was Captain JAMES HAY (late of the Sir Stephen Lushington) into the command of the A stell, consigned to Coast and Bay, in the room of Captain ROBERT HAY, who is unab',e to proceed the present voyage, from the wounds he received on board that ship, in an engagement with two Trench feigates and a corvette, off the island of Madagascar, when in com pany with the Company's slupsCeylon and Windham.

Mary-la-bonne Park is to be called the Regent's Park. The Park itself will be equal in size to Hyde park, and Kensington-gardens. The Reg -nt's Canal will run through a part of it, and then expand into a magnificent sheet of water. Near the latter are to be the Barracks, fir 3000 men, belonging to the Life Guards ; and contiguous, are to be houses, se. parated by a sunk fence only, from the Park. In Cie interior are to be erected villas, and e 44 villa will be .screened from the other by a plantation cf trees; as several acres of ground are to be appropriatei to each, the plan may be easily accomplished. Each will be built in a Afferent stye of architecture, agree. ably to the taste of the owner. The PRINCI Reascr is to have one ; the Etruscan order is said to be de termined upon. The latter pile will be so situated as to command uninterrupted views of Highgate, Hamp. stead, &c. From Portland-place is to be extended a street to Oxford-street ; another, in an oblique direc tion, to Piccadilly, by annihilating the houses between, in King-street and Swallow-street ; the third part will be in a straight line, from the front portico of Carlton House to Piccadilly. The latter is to be ornamented with a colonade on each side. The profits from the leases in the Park will be about £60,000 per annum to the Crown, instead of £5OOO, which the land at present pays. Thus the improvements will be corn. pleted without any expence to the public. Swallow street is almost all Crown land ; the houses will be almost wholly pulled down. It is a fact that, when finished, Europe will exhibit no p trallel to it. The plan is under the immediate patronage of the Primcc Recast, who gives his own name to the street and Park ; the latter is to be finished by May nest. The Park will include what was known by the name of Welling's Farm, together with several fields adjoin. ing, the whole being Crown land, and extending on the west nearly to St. John's Wood ; northward be yond Primrose Hill ; on the east nearly to the Hamp stead-road ; and bounded to the south by a part of the New-road. The crowds daily in the habit of going to view . the labours of the workmen, produce clot most busy and interesting scene imaginable. INSURRECTION MARTISIQUE. 'Orr the 17th of October las!, informaties leas given to the Procureur du Roi (the ketg's At torney), that on the ensuing evening, at 11 o'clock, an insurrection of the free people of colour and the negroes was to take place ; when it was intended to het fire to the populous town of St. Pierre in several places, giving the alarm of fire, to force open the stores, where there were cutlasses and bill-hooks, and then make a general massacre ot the white men as . they made their appearance in tke streets ; but the women were to be spared for other purposes. In case they did not succeed so the utmost of their wishes, then they were to storm St. Martha's Battcey,"on the left of the town, and turn the guns open it. By . the fortunate discovery of the plot, on the eve of its exe cution, measures were immediately taken for its pre vention. Some of the chiefs ot the banditti were -.sized by the police in the course of the day others of them withdrew from the town. At seven o'clock, P. M. several people were seen on the heights which immediately overlook the town, and also an inhabi tant came in with the intelligence that ttom 70 to 80 of these miscreants had assembled at his house, with swords, pistols, &c. and that they were fast increas ing. Lieutenant Colonel Mackie, of the 3d battalion of the 60th Regiment, and C mmandant of Saint Pierre, lent immediately a detachment to surroand them; at their approach the banditti fired at them, and immediately took to theirteels ; after a fatiguing pursuit the whole night for 19 hours, the detachment conlinot succeed in taking more than three cr four of them: During the whole of the night strong pa troleA of the 60th paraded the streets, assisted by most of the Wilke male inhabitants, uncertain when the fatal moment might arrive, or the dismal cry of 44 Fire" heard. On the following morning, several of the ringleaders were taken up and lodgod ia the gaol.; a strong detachment from the purism and parties of the militia were sent out to scour th: coun -1 try, to restore tranquillity. On the 21st the town was again thrown into a state of alarm ; from 4 to 500 slaves, headed by five of their chiefs, endeavoured to enter the towu,expee sing there to be joined by a considerable number of the domestic slaves. As the mob were teen collect ing from all parts cf the country, the houses were again shut up, andlidspAir reignedonceip4rethrough out the place. By the active exertions of Lieutenant Colonel Mackie, assisted by his men, three ot their chiefs were taken, the negroes dispersed, and Octrd again restored. The head of the insurgents, thus baffled in all his attempts ) privately entered the town at night, and endeavoured to make his escape on board a small vessel ; but not succeeding, he blew out h is brains. His name was Moliere, a free coloured mAri, and nat:ve of this is4nd ; he had been for some t me . at St. Domingo, and returned hire with the title ot Viscount. About 130 of the insurgents had been apprehended, and at their trial 15 were round guilty, and hung on the 10th of October. The distinguished and meritorious part acted by ens British garrison to quell this dangerous revolt was pub licly noticed by Major-General Wale, Commander of his Majesty's forte in the isLnd, as well as bytbe bitants, who testified their grateful acknowledgments in a letter transmitted by the Procureur de Roi.
