PL J hare no doubt that . his ragged & g a t i ng were elan and again scattered and dispersed. home letters have been received by the last Got tenburgh Mails, which afford strong grounds to hope that Denmark will be at length detached from her p ernicious connection with France. The Swedish negociator, whose arrival at Copenhagen we lately noticed, has, it seems, been, authorized to offer terms to the Danes, which nothing short of absolute insa nity on the part of their rulers can reject. The Bri• tish Government offers not only restitution of the Danish possessions in the East and West Indies, but a lso an indemnification for the Danish feet taken at Ccpenbagen. On the other band, Russia, Sweden, and Great Britain, threaten a joint invasion of the nhole of the Danish territories, in the event of their pacific overtures being rejected. A Lisbon Mail arrived last night, bringing Portu guese Papers to the 27th ultimo. The gallant Com mander-in-Chief had returned to head-quarters ; all the rumours, therefore, of his coming to .England fall to the ground. It is again reported, and with touch appearance of probability, that SOULT has been erdered to make his appearance in France, at the bead of 40,000 (some accounts say 60,000) men. Jo this event, the Marquis of WELLINGTON will walk over the course at the commencement of the cam paign, for which, we are happy to learn, most vigo rous preparations are making. A new Guerilla leader, by name Is/Esor, and a monk by profession, has made his appearance is the Deighbourhood of Valencia, greatly to the annoyance of SUCHET. NEEOT has 2,500 infantry, and 500 mounted lancers, under his orders, and they have already performed prodigies, if not of valour, at least of dexterity. Buckler's convoys are, as usual, the objects of attack. Extracts from tle Papers brought by the above Mail, will be found in another part of this day's paper. We this morning received Corunna Papers to the 14th ultimo. They furnish additional reports of the French being about to retire from the Peninsula.— The following are extracts : " SANTIAGO, JANUARY 8. " According to intelligence the French are falling ick upon Valladolid, preserving the line of the Douro. We do not positively know whether they have, as has lately been asserted, abandoned Sala tianca. They persist in saying they are going to join Soult ; and considering the situation of the hos tile armies in La Mancha and Estremadura, this ap pears more probable than that .they should take the I.s ad to France,' as some people have affirmed. On he other hand, it is known that Soult has promised support Suchet, against whom the armies of the ake Del Parque and General £lio are marching : latter is in the vicinity of Elche, and the former his head-quarters in Infantes, where Senior Cruz ongon has arrived. 44 It is not true that the French lately entered !ilboa and Santander :—Longa, on the 18th, was in he former place. • " The Cottnna Diary, of the 9th January, con [l , ;r:s an official dispatch from Longa to General tendizabal, dated Santa Gidae, the 9th December, ating, that he had attacked an enemy's column, posed of 1500 infantry and 150 horse, broke and mued it to under-the very walls of Miranda, kill g 500 of the enemy, and making 200 prisoners, 'di the loss on his side of 80 killed and 160 ded." " ASTORGA, JANUARY 2. " The French who entered this place did not mcunt to more than 1000, nor remained here more an five days, at the end of which time they returned 'the place from whence they came, and appear re. ring to Benevente, or beyond it." " CORUNNA, JANUARY 5. W To-day anchored in this port some English airports, which were off Santana ; they have !ought with them a beautiful brigantine, of 18 guns, ier, from the French, who in her had done consi sable damage. , . " GRANADA, JAN. 9. " They write from Calalayud that one of Villa impa's detachments has killed 100 men, and made prisoners ; among them some Juramentadoes." " BAYLEN, JAN: 8. "Some carriers, who have just arrived from Ma r'd, say, that one the 2d, 6000 French arrived at I;actha from Toledo ; and add, that they were pro- Ming to Valencia. They have exacted in Upper d Lower Mancha, 60,000 bushels of corn, 40,000 'barley, much money in metal, and a great quan- h (1 cattle—the whole to be conducted to Toledo." " CADIZ, JAN. 15; 11.ey write from Madrid fiat they soon expect free from the Vandals and the automaton Mo , who in effect talks of travelling, and returning four months. JANUARY 17.—The Army of Reserve has re d orders to approach those of Operations. We assured the Vandals have again concentrated selves in Madrid, Toledo, and the intermediate es, after destroying the bridges on the Tagus— at &-anjuez excepted ; and that they have left rtY in Oca nao . " Longa has had another action in the valley of 40 , in which he made 500 prisoners." AN cant 18.—On the 4th instant, Madrid re. shortly be evacuated. It is said that the headinar ten of the Vandals are in Mantanaus." " CAROLINA, JAN. V. " We know for certain, that in Quintanar there is a French division, consisting of from 10 to 12,000 men; besides 6,000 in OcanhZ ; in Madrelejos 1000; in Daimul 700 ; and as many in Manzanaus. It is said they are marching for Valencia."—(Lisbon Ga zette, Jan. 21). LISBON; JANUARY M. " Lord Wellington arrived on the 22d at Abrantes. We • suppose, that on the 24th he will beat head quarters at Freynada." " CADIZ, JANUARY 13. " It is said that a letter has been intercepted from the wretched Joseph to the miserable Corsican, in which he tells him, that if any troops are withdrawn from Spain, he will not even be able to maintain him• self on the Ebro, and that he.will be obliged to re. tire beyond the Pyrennees." " CATALAYUD, DECEMBER 12. " Captain Lambert, at the head of a division be longing to Villacampa, consisting of 150 men, sur prized, on the 22d ultimo, near Vaval, an enemy's party, killed 26 men, and made 41 prisoners, who the following day were put to death." " ALICANT, JANUARY 2. " The enemy has collected some forces in Xateva, and continues destroying with small parties all the towns to Xenora and Tebe. This fertile province will be reduced to a state of nullity, and without the means of supporting our troops. The enemy carry off all the fruits, grain, and beasts - of burthen, and has collected a quantity of provisions in his maga zines. From ocular witnesses we know that in Arragon there are not more than 2000 men to cover Saragossa, and that a convoy which set out for Java, the greater part Frenchmen, with their effects, had been routed, and returned to Saragossa." Dispatches were this morning received from Sir SAMUEL HOOD, of the OWEN GLESIDOWII, from the East Indies, at which place he has safely arrived. The Dispatches were brought to Portsmouth by the MODESTE frigate. Nothing has yet been heard at the Admiralty of Lord ASIELIUS BEAUCLERCK'S squadron, which sailed some time since, under secret orders, for the Coast of America. A letter received at Plymouth from the TONNANT, of 80 guns, dated off Brest, Ist February, mentions a report very current in the squadron on that morn ing, that Sir EDWARD PELLEW had obtained. a deci sive victory over the French Fleet, off Toulon, and had taken six sail of the line. The prize of the ACUATES, the Orbit, of New York,. sent in on Thursday to Plymouth, is a very va luable one to the captors. She is an uncommonly fine ship of 470 tons, and has about 900 bales of cotton, and 445 barrels of pot-ash on board.— Four valuable American ships, and one schooner, prizes, arrived there in the course of last week. Before the Orbit left New-York, on the 4th ult. news had been received, that a Bill, authorising the admis sion of American vessels and cargoes from British ports beyond the Cape of Good Hope, and also a Bill for the relief of Merchants, importers of goodsl from Great Britain, had passed both Houses, and only waited the PRESIDENT'S signature. The Hon. PAUL HAMILTON has resigned the office of Secretary of the American Navy. A Bill has been brought in for the raising of an additional military force of 20 regiments. A motion was made by Mr. GOLD. that the further consideration be postponed. The motion i •sTas nega. tived by Yeas and Nays, 71 to 44. Yesterday the following Bulletin was exhibited at St. James's Palace : " WINDSOR CASTLE, FES. 6. 66 In the.early part of the last month his MAJESTY was under some degree of excitement, but he has since resumed his former tranquillity." THE PRINCES OF WALEs.—On the subject of the misunderstanding between this distinguished Perso nage And his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, we copy the following from a Morning Paper 4 g About the middle of January last, the Princess of WALES addressed a letter to the PRINCE REGENT. It was transmitted by Lady CHARLOTTE CAMPEBLL to the LORD CHANCELLOR and the Earl of LIVERPOOL (together with an unsealed copy of its contents, for their perusal) by command of her Royal Highness, and desiring that it might be laid before the PRINCE REGENT. This letter was sent back the next day by the Earl of LIVERPOOL to Lady CHARLOTTE CAMP. BELL, with an intimation, that as all correspondence had ceased for some years, it was his Royal High ness's determination pot to renew it. The letter ad. dressed to the Prince was therefore returned with the seal unbroken.—The letter was returned by the Prin cess, with an intimation that it contained matter of importance to the State ; but the letter was again sent back unopened, and some further correspondence took place on the subject, bht without any notifica- 1 tion of his Royal Highness's pleasure thereon. Copies of this letter of complaint and remon strance, have found their way into circulation in the ; upper ranks of society, and this is the circumstance that gives us reason to apprehend that all hopes of further concealment of the whole proceedings in the Inquiry which took place in 1806 and 1807 are now fled mince it relates both to the Princess of WALES ; herself, and the Princess CHARLOTTE; and we have no doubt, from the notoriety of the fact, that it will be soon communicated to the public."

Captain ELLIOT, from the East Indies, Isailed 14th October, touched at St. Helena, which she left the 28th December, only two whalers were then lying at the island. The ships on the coast of Java had staged dreadfully by sickness ; the Mo- DESTE is considered a very striking exception, having lost but seven men since she left England, which is upwards of two years. She yesterday fell in with and captured the supp osed fast-sailing privateer the French had in the Channel, called la Fury, of 14 guns and 100 men, after a most arduous chase, during which the MODESTL fired upwards of 300 shot at her ; also the DANEMARK, 74, Captain BAKER, with convoy from Plymouth I, Nos.= STAR. 20, Captain CoE ; and RoLLA, 18, Captain HILL, from a cruise ; and Findlay, HARRIS, from Mogadore, under quarantine.

The Diligent store ship, comman ded by Mr. IVES, arrived here this afternoon, with dispatches from Sir. J. B. WARREN, and Mails from Bermuda. She sailed from thence on tile 4th ult. and was accompanied by the S. DOMINGO, Admiral Sir J. B.

TIGRIS to be dispatched,' from Bengal in the month of October. The LADY CAST/EREAGLI had arrived at Madra from Fort Marlborough, which ship, with the Dove* CASTLE and EARL ST. VINCENT, were to sail from thence about the 15th October. THE ARMY. - - - - The letters from Oporto state, that in expectation of an early campaign, furloughs would not be granted to British officers to return to this country after the Ist instant, unless on the ground of ill health. Many officers, on leave of absence at Lisbon': Oporto,. ice. were ordered to join their corps by the 16th. The army was expected to more out of cantonments the latter end of this month. Letters have been received from Alicant to the 4th, and from Cadiz to the 17th ult. From this place we learn that a great number of transports wera entering the 134 y of Alicant with troops from Sicily. Whether Lotd WILLIAM Bawrnica was on board, and what was the precise number of the lord, was not ascertained, but it was believed that they consis ted of about 2000 infantry and 500 cavalry, and san guine hopes were indulged, that, by means of this re inforcement, offensive operations would be under taken in the southern districts of Valencia. From Colchester we learn, that the North York Militia, stationed in the Barracks there,' have been, lately joined by 105 recruits—these have been raised in the space of three months only, through the perse vering and active exertions of two Officers, the Lieu tenants BAGNETT and • STaNNETT. Maj or TUOYTS, the present Commandi ng O ffi cer of the orth York, is, we lament to say, seriously indisposed : a circum. stance that cannot but occasion the regiment the most s;ncere regret—for his mild and benevolent temper and manners are universally acknowledged, and must ens dear him to the hearts of his soldiers his zett.rn to health is most anxiously wished by all. The 33d regiment of foot, late Lotd Wet.mo rotes, is now embarking at Hull for the River, on their way to Windsor, where they are to do duty.— It is understood that this regiment will be made Royal, so that the facings will be blue. Various detachments of the Waggon Train and in• fantry arrived at Portsmouth last week, and embarked; and many more, both of Light Dragoons and infan try, will arrive in the course of the present week. Two companies of the Roy a l A rt ill ery , marc h e d into Portsmouth on Thuisslay, under the command of Captains CAMPBELL and Literati:4smi, and etnbar• ked for the Peninsula. Offensive operations, on an enlarged scale, will be undertaken by the Emperor ALEXANDER throughout the Prussian states in Spring. A letter from St► Pe• tersburgh has the following paragraph : " Unexpectedly an order for 800,000 men, in ad dition to the late levy, has been issued. What is to be done with them we are not informed, but the na• tural presumption is, that some scheme of enterprize will be undertaken by Russia, in the Prussian terri- • tories, which, if it should not determine the fate of that country, will, at least, decide the line of policy to which its Sovereign most in future adhere." By the same opportunity we have another Address from Prince KUTUSOFF SMOLENSK°, on approaching the Vistula. He assigns his motives for penetrating into the interior of Prussia, disclaiming ail views of conquest, and inviting the Prussians to a hearty co. operation with the armies of his Imperial Majesty. " From this condescension," says he, g , ot his In t . perial Majesty, it is hoped, that the enmity which has been occasioned by mischievous arts between the Rus sians and Prussians, will be forgotten, and that the latter will employ with the former their utmost exer• tions for the annihilation of the common enemy." The Princess CHARLOTTE was present st the Opera .on Saturday night. She came tinder the auspices of the Duchess of Your s and sat in her box. The house was brilliant. A fabricated ticket of invitation for the PRINCE REGENT'S Fete was seat to Mr. Amateur COATES, the hunter of notoriety, in consequence of which he pre. sented himself in a chair, attended by two footmen, at the door of Carlton-House, where, notwithstand ing great pity for his situation, Colonel BLOOMFIELD was under the necessity of refusing him admission. He had been at the expence of a new and most splen did dress for the occasion, adorned with diamond buttons, but he was obliged to retire.
