It is reported that France has caused enquiry to he rade of the Danish Government whether the Scheldt 6., t would, in case of safe arrival, be made welcome at Copenhagen, and there safely protected to the best rF :heir power ; and it is likewise said Denmark has c.epNd the offer, and that preparations are making at Copenhagen for the reception of the foreign fleet. The Rho;burgh Correspondent of the Ist contains averal intercepted letters, which have appeared in the Paper entitled the Prussian Correspondent. Among that is the following copy OF A LETTER FROM EUCENV NAPOLEON TODAVOUST. " Aschersleben, April 13, 180. " Ey arcilenr, and to my great astonishment, i have been in feor et!, i'rtnce of Eckmuhl, of your movement on Giffhorn. I Attar to you, that in case the enemy should force u, to make a retrograde movement, we must join; and I have no cause to sup pock: that you have had an enemy of any consequence opposed to you. }lad- such been the case, I should have been surprised that yuu did not write me expres-ly to that effect; hut, in the con traty•c.ie, you ought not to have taken any steps of yourself. It repuned that the enemy has cro-sed the Elbe at Domitz : had you remained at F.alzwedel, you would have been enabled to have Intl tim, and forced him back to the other bank. At this mo • mtnt I can give you no orders respecting the movements you law to make, as you have not laid before me the motives which titled you so to act. I expect your re,ily by the return of the Oher. Pot the rest, Prince of Eekmubl, I pray GOD to take ceder his holy and gnat protection. (Signed) " EUGENE NAPoLEON." The Report of Beauharnois' Chief of the Staff to lathier, which is dated Aschersleben, April 10, no tces, that Beauharnois was then unwell; that several wnnoissances had taken place; and that the- demon :nations of ti,e enemy towards Bernburg were proba bly made to cover a serious attempt urn Halle. Tie Report of Haxo, Governor of Magilf_biag, to the same, d'ated April 12, states, that Davoc.:l xpec ted w arrive cn the Pith at Giffhorn, on the Alter ; and adds, on the authority of two soldi,rs Mo and'i corps, who had escaped, that the enemy were drawn up along the Elbe towards Domitz, where they would be able to pass the river.

'T lie actual sailing of the main body of tk Eqedition was delayed however, by an act:dent to cne of the transports. A report prevailed 2t Stl.ckholrt that BONAPARTE had offered to send the 6:::.6,1t fleet to Copenhagen as a place of safety I is too absurd to requite refutation. The accounts received by Government, through at medium of the Heligoland Mail of yesterday, at Hambergh on the 4th instant, stated, that SnrAsTrAm had left Luneburg for Salz v.eel, and in consequence of this movement, Lieu "dnt•General GrzoncreN WALMODLN had crossed the ,:Ile with a body of troops at Domitz. We com tnicated this intelligence in the whole of our im (elsiQn of yesterday, but it was nevertheless wrought Into a Se con d Edi t i on b y some of our contempo . tales, and the imptsing appearance of a Govern . tnt tulletin was given to the article, to make i t T , re saleable.

The alarm excited at Harnburgh by the tempo lry occupation of Harburgh, had entirely ceased zh re the private communications which we yester -1 laid b efore our Readers left the Elbe. The fol ,lng private letter from Cuxhaven furnishes us nth sorne farthitr particulars of interest : "'` CUXHAVEN, MAY 4. We are i n h ourly expectation of a visit from the who are only about 12 or 16 miles from us.

The enemy eviJently wishes to pounce upon us and our wooden magazines, but he shall be disappointed ; for while a musket and a cart ridge can be safely landed, and usefully circulated, it shall be done, but not with any risk of falling into his hands. It is in this respect only that our occupa tion of Cuxhaven could be of any service to the allied cause, as being a ready inlet into Germany for our arms and ammunition. It could never have been in contemplation to maintain such a place with a hand ful of veterans. Should the French seriously advance upon Cuxhaven (for one day they near us 12 miles, and another distance us twenty), we will move to another point, having perfectly sufficient means, and continue the system of safely distributing our military stores.—We were lately gratified by a sudden irrup tion upon us of about fifty Cossacks, part of the divi sion which gave so good an account of General Mo rand. In one of their straggling excursions, they were separated from the main body, and then made a direct dash for this place, from whence they have been-embarked for Hamburgh." A letter from Heligoland, dated May 5, says, 44 Our market is at present very flat—it arises chiefly from the late rough weather, which has prevented the boats from coming over ; there is, however, but 'little doubt that when things get settled on the oppo site coast, we shall have a good and very brisk trade here." Baron JACOBI KLEIST, the Ambassador appointed to the Court of Great Britain by the King of PRIM. SIA, arrived in town this morning. He came direct from Gmtenburgh iu the King George Packet, which landed her Mails on Sunday night at Aldborough, but proceeded to Harwich with the Ambassador and his suite, where they were landed yesterday. Baron. JACOBI had several interviews with the CROWN PRINCE at Gotteuburgh, previous to his departure, and is understood to be the bearer of fresh assurances of the cordiality of BERNADOTTE in the common cause. Lord SONDES arrived at the Admiralty this morn ing with dispatches from Sicily. Their contents have not transpired. Various reports are in circulation at Dover on the subject of the recent firing on the French coast. One account states it to have been occasioned by a defeat of the Prussians under General BLUCHER, and another by a victory over the British in Spain. We have no doubt that both these reports are without foundation. The firing proceeded, as we have already stated, by our cruizers venturing too near the batteries. THE PENINSULA. Just as this Paper was putting to press, we received Lisbon Papers and letters to the 4th inst. Their contents are important. The following are extracts : " LISBON, MAY 3. " The following account, stated to be a translation of a supplement to the Alicant Diary of the 14th of Aptil, has been received here : " Alicant, April 14, 181:". " The General in Chief of the Allied Troops of his Britannic Majesty, from his head-quarters of Castella, under date of the 14th informs me, " Yesterday, the lfith, I defeated Marshal Suchet, with much lass. He, with all his infantry, cavalry, and artillery, re tired to Biar, in the night to Villana, and afterwards towards Puente la Higuera,"—which you will be pleased to inform the public of, for their satisfaction. " LISBON, mArr" " A letter is said to have reached this place, dated April 15, stating Suchet to have made a stand at Higuera. " Our campaign is now about to open : 10,000 Spaniards are at Aranjuez. General Hill has moved to Placentia from Corea. The Conde d'Amaranthe's ccrps is in motion for Alcantara, as are Colonel Tul. lock's two brigades of artillery. Every horse and effective man is in full march through Portugal for their several divisions." " CADIZ, APRIL 22. " The Spanish arms have j❑st suffered consider able loss in the line of Yucar, near Pula ; they were attacked or. the llth of April by 8000 of the enemy, including 1500 horse, with eight pieces of artillery. u The Spanish forces only amounted to 7000 men, with 250 horse, and without artillery. The regiments of Burgos and Velaz Malaga, were those which suf fered the most. It appears, General Elio was not at that point. u The English took no share in this unfortunate action ; the Spanish troops retired towards Castelli, where the English General had his head-quarters." When our last letters left the Army, those excellent and popular Officers, Generals STOPPORD, KEMPT, BRISBANE, and ROBINSON, had joined. Sir CHARLES STEWART, and Sir T. GRAHAM, the Hero of Barossa, who are great favourites with the army, were daily looked for; and hopes were entertained of Lord UxnnwoE coming out, as the cavalry is a very consi derable body and a most important command. The 4th Drapon Guards, the 9th and 11th Ligh t Dragoons, and 2d (;,rznan Hussars, were about to embark at Lisbcn 1(n- England. Marshal BERESFORD was about to go up from Lisbon to the army, as loon as his Secretary, Sir W. AiIIiTITNOT, arrived from England. The Marquis of Virar.r.twoirox is raising a cavalry police corps, in aid of the Provosts, to punish and prevent such excesses of the soldiery as were com mitted on the last retreat : the corps is raising by Colonel ScovELL, who, it is supposed, will com mand it.

Tuesday and Wednesday last, the Ross-shire Re• giment of Militia, commanded by the Earl of SEA• FORTH, marched through Chipping Norton, in two divisions, on their way to Nrtsmoutli, under the command of Majors ROBERTSON and SUTHERLAND. A Correspondent at Chipping Norton remarks, that the inhabitants of that place had found this corps to be (officers and men) the 'most orderly and best be haved militia regiment that ever went through that place. Major-General BROWNE, who was lately repriman ded in General Orders for having published in a Mor ning Paper a letter relative to the clothing of the Ca. valry Regiments, has demanded that his conduct should be submitted to a Court of Inquiry. To this demand the Adjutant-General (Lieutenant-General CALVERT) has replied, by order of the Commander in -Chief, that his Royal Highness does - not see any ground far further investigation. At Nottingham Sessions, 19. Bateman, for enlisting into the Nottinghamshire Regiment of Militia, he being an apprentice, was ordered to be imprisoned nine months, then to serve the remainder of his ap. • prenticeship, and at the expiration thereof, to join the Nottinghamsire Regiment of Militia. It appeared that he had received five guineas on his attestation. At Louth Sessions, J. Shotton, late a Serjeant in the Lindsey Local Militia, was convicted of fraudu. lently obtaining from T. Graves, of Louth, two pound notes and one guinea note, under pretence of preven ' ting him from being enrolled to serve in the satift - to. cal Militia, and was ordered to be imprisoned in the House of Correction at Louth, for three months, and pay a fine of twelve guineas. The Cambridgshire Regiment of Militia, lately quartered at Peebles and Pennycuick, having received their route for Ireland, the Officers gave a ball and elegant supper on Thursday, the ltith of April, at Peebles, to the families in the neighbourhood, to ex press the high sense they entertained of the great po liteness and hospitality which they had received du ring their stay in that.quarter. On the Tuesday fol. lowing the neighbouring Gentlemen returned the compliment in a similar manner. On both occasions, the !Ball was graced by the families of KAMM; STOBO, CRAIG CASTLE, MUGBIE HILL, PENLAW, &C. and the enlivening dance was kept up with much spirit until the sun's beams lighted the company to their respective homes. At a Meeting of the Pao. vosT and Corporation of Peebles, a very handsome letter was written to Colonel PEMBERTON, requesting Ihim to communicate to the Regiment—A , the highest 66 and most cordial approbation of themselves and 6 6 their Constituents, at the very excellent orderly 4 , conduct and general behaviour of the Regiment, 66 during its stay, and the regret of the ir.!:abitants at 44 its departure." At the same time, the Freedom of the Borough was voted to the Officers of the Regi. ment, and presented in the most polite manner by the PROVOST and Baillies, on the evening previous to the commencement of the march, to those Officers who had not been present on a former occasion. On Friday, the 23d of April, the first division commenced their march by way of Biggar, Douglass Mill, Lead hills, and New Galloway, throughout which route they were welcomed with every mark of hospitality and kindness by the inhabitants. At New Galloway, where the division halted two days, the Magistracy of the Borough waited upon the Commanding Officer (Major FAWSSETT) and in a very handsome twin= presented the Officers of the division with the Free. dom of that Borough. The Officers being duly en rolled, several appropriate toasts were drank, and the evening passed in much conviviality. It is stated in the Philosophical Journal, that the PRECURSOR to an Expod on Forest Trees end Timter, as connected with the Maritime strength and prospe rity of the United Kingdom, and the Provinces, par ticularly British India ; with an Appendix, containing the dimensions, force, and condition of the British Navy, compared witit French ships of war, and Ame.. rican frigates, by Captain LAIMAM, of the Navy, 1 4 abounds with very rational observatirns upon/n(111 which are of the highest interest to the Empire, and every individual in it."
