(CONCLUDED FRAM TOE STAR Or VEsTERDAY.) " It was natural to expect that Denmark would propose to take temporary possession of the Hanse Towns during the war, to order to preserve aim burgh and Lubec from the sanguinary eff-cts of the collision of the conflicting armies, and also for the security of the Danish prov'mces in their neStzhbetir hood ; but with respect to their being.set apart as the prey to violence under the proposed partition, as al. leged in the English Gazette, we boldly contradict such a statement; and, on the contrary, we affirm that had the offer been made to us to occupy these places, we should have only accepted it under the express condition, that thp , should be surrendered on the re-establishment of tranquillity. " It has been usual in trea'ics of peace to restore conquered countries to the original possessors; but it has been reserved fur tortuous pacy of the pre sent times to offer the territory of a friendly Power as a bribe for obtaining mercenary advantages.— Hitherto it has been considered, that the lands to be alienated, whether acquired by corquest, inheritance or purchase, should, before the a;i...nation, have be come the property of the party by whom they are transferred; but now these pretended distributors of justice imitate the foresters in the comedy, who sell tl:e skin of the belr before ti:ey have shot him, But know ye, that the beau• whom ye seek to sell is a noble, free, and dangerous foe, who knows bow to defend himself, and to avenge his wrong. upon those who molest him, and he will suffer no fox or beast of prey to interrupt his repose. " Denmark, like the arms she hears, is a ceurage nus animal, provided with the battle-axe, and 'he is prepared to.resent the insult offered to her. Do not believe, that it is as easy to conquer as it is to barter and divide. The people of Norway have seen the heir appa rent of cur throne in an open-boat, defying the rage of the Ocean, and exposing himself to a vigilant enemy, in order to hasten to their pi o:ection, and to conduct them by the path of honour to victory. " Such a Prince will know how to resist f -reign usurpation. The justice of our cause, the spit it and valour of our ribjects will crown his endeavours with success, and will afford grounds for the hope, that the destruction contemplated by our adversaries will fall upon the head of the aggressots. " The English Minister has promised tr Parlia ment, that he will submit to its attention something regardine , the demands of Denmark, which respects Great Britain alone,.. independent of other powers— hut in answer to a question by Mr. Ponsonby, touch ing the late propositions for peace made by Denn! a k, he said,' that he could not return the answer at pre sent, because the allies might suffer by the exposure. Each individual Dane is as anxious to remove this concealment, as any Englishman of the Empire, and he is perfectly convinced that nothing Denmiu k can propose, will interfere either with duty, honour, or morality. " In adverting to the sentiments of Mr. Ponsonby, we must express cur surprise at his declaration, that the guarantee given by Britain of the surrender of Norway to Sweden is just, and in coincidence with all the customs of war. When we are in hostility, says he, with any nation, we have the right to con quer it, and to appropriate its territory and provinces or to permit our allies to do so. Yet he admits, that there are many cases which might render this incx. ncdient, on account of the extent of its consequences. We meet this proposition, and we assert, that be has overlooked a circumstance in this favourite artition treaty, rfriciently material, and we affirm, !lint Rus sia and Sweden are not in alliance with Great Bli tain for the purposes of war against Denman k. These two powers were at peace with Denmark, and a eon. vention was formed at Abo, under the apprehension that we should accede to an alliance with France, and endanger their situation. " Had Sweden already commenced the attack upon Norway, then might Mr. Ponsonby have foun dation for his argument. Had EnAland conquered Norway, she might in strictness, at the conclusion of peace,have surrendered that kingdom to Sweden, all the contracting parties concurring in the alienation. But to guarantee such an appropriation of an un touched, and tura:ending country, will be no sub ject of applause with the English people, although the Minister may triumph in Parliament by false con . jectur...-s and gross r lisrepresentations, as was the case in the year 1807, on the occasion of the attack upon Zealand, which every British heart condemns. " What right had Russia to dispose of any portion of Denmark, without the means to conquer or even to molest it, and in a time of profound peace and rood understanding at the Court of Copenhagen ? At the same period she was flattering our Ambassador, she presstmed to send a Minister Extraordinary to purchase the friendship of Denmark, and to bribe her , to participate in the war against rraxice, with falla cinus promises of remuneration in cities and territo ries, which Russia did not herself possess, and over which she had no manner of contact'', under any prin ciple recognized by the law cfna:ons. " Thus happens it, that small states, when they devolve under the power of greater, are exposed to ruin. The former are offered a sacrifice to the mer cenary des:gns of the limer, and by the great and mighty, honour, and truth, justice, and morality. arc driven trona the face of the earth 1" GO7TENBURCII MAIL. BERLIN, JUNE 6. The lively interest which the public justly takes in the corps of Lieutenant-General Von 13ulnw, destined to cover this city, and in its operations, occasions us to give the following particulars concerning the happy termination of the battle which took place the day before yesterday, near Luckaw : " The enemy's corps, aho::t f. 30,030 strong, which stood behind the Black Elster, under the command . of the D u k e of Reggio, had moved forwards to Son nenwalde, and early on the day before yes. stday at tacked the advanced posts of the corps of Czneral Bulow, who bad retired from Coltbus on Luzkaw, with great vivacity, before that it had joined the gades of Von Borstel and Von Boyen. Lieutenant- General Von Bulow took his position, having Luckaw in his front, on some advantageously-situated heights: the eaemy displayed his attack on the town and its garrison, and supported it by masses of tirailleurs, and stormed the walls and gates of the town with strong columns of infantry. The garrison defended them selves obstinately : the enemy was repulsed with great loss : he then set fire to the suburbs and a part of the town with grenades. In the mean time, by command of Lieutenant•Gencral Von Bulow, the Prussian and Russian infantry, commanded by Ma jor General Von Oppen, threw themselves on the enemy's tight flank, put his cavalry in the greatest ' disorderin several squares which he had formed, and thereby drove him to flight. A great number of the enemy were sabred, and one howitzer and two can non taken. 66 This brilliant attack, accompßied by a fresh and lively cue from our brave infantry from the su burbs, forced the enemy to retreat, and put an end to the battle, which lasted from ten in the morning till nine at night, and dt es great honour to our troops, who had only three brigades engaged in this combat' 66 The enemy's loss may be estimated at 2500 men the field of battle, with the suburb, is reduced to ashes, and the wounded French who were there destroyed present a most drmdful sight. At the de parture of the courier we had already matte 500 pri soners, and the volunteer yagers and the light troops were continually bringing mere in. " The prisoners state, and their miserable appear ance and worn-out fi,tms confirm their report, that the French army is suffering under the greatest pri vations. " The brave inhabitants of Berlin will now, cer tainly, prevent our gallant troops froth suffering any wars, that they may be enabled, wish fresh vigour, to pursue the enemy. _ _ _ Late in the evrninz, the Commanding General joined Major-G..neriil Von Borstel and Colonel Von Doyen. The enemy is retiring by the way of &Innen walde, from whence he came, and is vigorously pur sued, ht which the Generals Von Bnrstel, Von Oppen, and Von Harpe, arc occupied with their light troops.

'11:e LORD CHANCELIOR presented a Bill, providing that the } raperty vested in the Accuuntaut•lleneral of the Court of Chancery, as such, should on his dumb, re 'al, or resi,:nation, become vested from time to time in his successors in that office. His Lordship stated that a regulation to this effect, ins tar as re garded the property ut the :uitors is the Court, a'ready existed, under the authority of the Act of George I.; but their Lordships had for some time past thought it right to make the Court of Chancery a shop for the transaction of all the business relative to Canals and a variety of other speculations, and the property in the hands of the Accountant-General belonging to these concerns, not coming within the purview df the Act, would, in the event of his death, devolve to his heirs and executon, if some legislative measure was not interposed. The 13111 was then read a first time, and ordered to he printed. A Message was sent to the Commons, desiring a conference In the Painted Chamber, relative to the Resolution respecting Christian Knowledge in India, agreed to yesterday.

Ott the motion that the .Report be brought up, /sir. WHI 1 . 131 t EA D took oceasi. n to sty a feat words on the subject of this Bill, which, although one of deep concern to the community, h-d not even beets printed. It was only indeed by accident, as he hail been informed, that the persons must nearly ur.cresied in the measure, had obtained a knowledge of its tea nature. The fate of the /suction Bill of last Seseloti was well known. It was understood in the course of the communication held on th tt occasion between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and a Committee of die Auctioneers, that the Right Honourable Gentleman pledged himself not to revive that measure or any df its provisions, without due notice to those concerned. It appeared, however, that the Secretary of the Tree. sury had revived most of those obnoxious provisions in the Lill in progress through the House, called— " The Excise Regulation Dill ;" and 'when remon strated with on the subject, had replied, "I Will try the experiment." He (Mr. Whitbread) could not help thinking that all this must have been done with. out the knowledge of the Chancellor of the Exche quer. The fact was, however, that the Secretary cif the Treasury had introduced into Parliament a Bill which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had distinctly told the parties interested should not be introduced without due notice being given to theM of such intro. (friction. What lie intended to propose Was, that the Bill should be printed, in order that the particular proi 'sons of it might be generally known, ~and that none of them should be allowed to pass into a law without previous and due publicity. Mr. WH A R.ToN rose for the ptirPose of contra• dieting almost every statement the Hon. Gentleman, had made. In the first place, the Bill bore no such title as that which had been ascribed to it by the Ho nourable Gentleman. It was a Bill to prevent those frauds in auctions which had been so extensively into. rims. Si far was it from true that the Bill had beet' brought in clandestinely and hurried through the House, that the fact was, that it had been in the House a great many weeks. It was true that it had not been printed. But it could oot be expected that he s'tould propose the [minting of it; for having been in direct communication ss id) all the parties concerned in the measure, he bad not felt that there existed such an objection to it as rendered that proposition neces sary. Adverting to the expression imputed to him by the Hen. Gentleman, of his determination to try the experiment," he solemnly denied having used such words, or - any thing like them ; on the contrary, all the communications which he had had with the parties interested were of an open and amicable nature, and he had never kn'iwn until that night that the 11:11 would be subject to any opposition. In the Committee a great number of amendments had been introduced, in consequence of the suggestions of the parties concerned, of s‘hich he was happy to take ad vantage. The assertion made by the Hon. Gentle. man, that it was attempted to smuggle 'the Bill through the House, was wholly unfounded. Never had a masa::: been more amply considered, or with i more frequent reference to the opinion of those peral sons whose interest it immediately concerned. If it should be the pleasure of the House to print the Bina he would not oppose it ; butt really he could see no I ground fur such a proceeding. It was a late of the Session, and in the stage to which the Bill had arrived, much discussion upon it was not to be expeca ted. l t ought not to he forgotten, in estimating the merits of the measure, that it was brought forward at the instance of as large a body of individuals as had ever petitioned the House of Commons on any sub ject. The City of London was deeply interested in its success. A deputation ficm a large and respec table Meeting in the City had done him the honou to call on hint, and make several suggestions with :e -lation to the Bill of which lie had availed himself, Under all these circumstances, it did not appear to him that the House were at all called upon to order the printing of a Bill which was necessarily of corn, derable length. Tie object which lie had at present in view, with respect to this measure, was to induce the House to allow the Report to be brought up now, and that the Bill should be re-committed on. `Monday, for the purpose of its receiving still further amendments. period' Mr. WHITBREAD observed, that the assertions which he had made were not but those of the persons by whom he nad been just! ucted. Undoubt edly, if the declarae.ions of the lien. Gentleman were well founded, he had Leen most grossly misiniormed. To slim, however, that he had not gone beyolid his information, he would read severed passages from his br:cf, if he might so call it. ["1 . 11-: Hon. CieuLlemap ~~_~ - r~
