Copy of a Latter from Captain Mends, of his Majesty's Ship Arethosa, to the Honourable W. W. Pole, dated at Sea, No vember 26. _ _ Sir—l have the honour of informing you, that this morning, to the N. E. of Alderney about eight or nine leagues, I gave chace to a lugger, which we saw steering for the coast of France, and, after a beauti ful run of four hours, had the good fortune of bringing her to. She proved to be the General Ernouf French privateer belonging to Calais, but had sailed from Cherbourg eight days before without having made any capture ; mounts sixteen guns, and had 58 men on board, commanded by a Jacques Antoine de Boulogne, a man who has cruized for fifteen years successfully against our trade, without having been taken before. From the very superior sailing of the General Ernouf, it is fortunate, Sir, that she was met by the Arethusa : and should a fine vessel of this description be wan►.ed for his Majesty's service, I would beg leave to recommend her, as being suitable in every respect ; and have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) R. MENDS. WHITEHALL, NOVEMBER RC The King, taking into his Royal consideration, the zeal, courage, and perseverance of the late George Nicholas Hardinge, Esq. Captain of his Majesty's frigate San Fiorenzo, manifested by him upon divers occasions, but more especially in the capture of the Dutch war brig Atalanta, off the Texel, after a des perate conflict, in the night of Slst March, 1804, by the successful enterprise of boarding and cutting out that vessel, himself at the head of the party in the boats, and the first man who boarded her ; and also in the signal and gallant service of commencing three successive engagements between his Majesty's In gate San Fiorenzo and la Piedmontaise, a French frigate, off Ceylon, in March last, notwi th standing the great disparity f the force between the said In gates, that of the enemy carrying fifty guns; and mustering 566 men, when his Majesty's frigate car. ried only 38 guns, and mustered 186 men, including officers ; a conflict terminated in the capture of the enemy's frigate, but, unfortunately, in the death of the said Captain Hardinge, who fell with glory in the last of the said three actions ; his Majesty has been graciously pleased, in commemoration thereof, to grant his Royal Licence and Permission, that the male descendants of the late Nicholas Hardinge, Esq. paternal grandfather of the said Captain George Nicholas Hardinge, who died without issue, may bear for ever hereafter, to the armorial ensigns of their family, the following honourable augmentations, viz. To the arms of Hardinge (being " On a Cheveron firnbriated Three Escallops") A Chief wavy, thereon a dfutnasted French frigate, with her colour: rirtsci, towed by an English frigate ; and, for an additional crest, (that of Hardinge being 44 A Mitre charged with a Cheve. ron, as in the arms,") the following, viz. A Hand, couped above the Wrist, grasping the Sword of a British Naval Officer, erect, surmounting a Dutch and a French Flag in Saltire, on the former inscribed " ATALANTA," on the latter " PIEDNONTAISZ," the Blade of the Sword passing through a Wreath of Laurel near the Point, and a little below, through another of Cypress, with this motto " POSTERA LAUDE RECESS ; " provided such honourable augmentations be first duly exemplified ac cording to the Laws of Arms, and recorded in the Heralds' Office.

THE EVENING STAR. have exposed to the pima the pleas formed for the partition of TurkeyoiNtirs which she was invited to articipate. • •...• That Austria, aetWithstanding all that passed at Erfurth, is as much as ever alarmed for her own security, is evinced by every movement—even by those dictated by a timid mind. Her measures, how ever, are not all of them, of the latter complexion. In addition to the Hungarian insurrection, which has been rendered a permanent force, at the disposal of the Emperor of Austria, for three years, the States have undertaken to raise twenty thousand more recruits for the defence of the Royal Throne and the Country, in case of its being attacked by any foreign power. The idle menace of the invasion of England seems about to be revived by the French Government. Our Readers are already informed that a part of the con tingents of the Rhenish Confederacy has been marched to the coast of the Channel ; we note find that Mar. shal KELLERMAN has been appointed to the chief command, and that his bead-quarters are to be at Boulogne. Private letters from Petersburgh state, that, as a part of the arrangements between the Emperors ALEXANDER and NAPOLEON, the Archduke CONSTAR'. TINE is to have the kingdom of Poland ; and that certain provinces of Turkey are to be guaranteed by France to the Emperor of RUSSIA. The following is an extract from one of the letters alluded to : " PETERSBUROH, OCTOBER int. " The state of affairs in our country, in a commercial point Of view, remains still the same ; our exports continue to bear very low prices, while those of all imports are daily rising. " As to political news, you probably know already that our Grand Duke CONSTANTINE is KING Of POLAND, and that Bel. sarabia, Wallachia, and Moldavia, art guaranteed to !Russia bp , the Emperor of the Faancu." The following are the principal articles contained in the journals that have been received : LIEBAU, OCTOBER 14, (OLD STYLE). Yesterday at six o'clock in the morning, arrived here our most gracious Sovereign, Alexander I. This being the first time we enjoyed the happiness of seeing hin: within our walls, all the inhabitants endeavoured to express their joy by illuminations and public fes tivities. His Imperial Majesty continued with us Lin. til twelve o'clock at midnight, when he set out for Petersburgh, attended by Count Tolstoy, Lord High Steward to the Emperor. BERLIN, OCTOBER 50. The troops conumanded by General Blucher have received orders to march to Berlin, King of Prussia, on his departure from Konigsburgh, will first proceed to Breslau, and from thence to Berlin, where he is expected to arrive about the 25th of No vember. Preparations have for some time been mak ing at Berlin for his reception ; other accounts state that the Court will not return to Berlin till the 15th December. An University, we are assured, is to be founded at Berlin. NO VIMIZIt 8. The day before yesterday his Excellency the Mar shal, Duke of Auerstadt, gave a grand dinner to Count Gulz, and other Prussian Ministers, at the end of which he gave the following toast :—t" The peace of the world ; may the first idea which the two great est Sovereigns communicated to each other at their meeting in Erfurth, be understood in London, and our wish will be fulfilled." PRESBURGH, OCTOBER 2S. In addition to the Insurrection or Permanent Hun garian Militia being placed at the free disposal of his Majesty for a term of three years, the States have also undertaken to raise 20,000 recruits, for the defence of the Royal Throne and the country, in case of its being attacked by any foreign Power. VIENNA, NOVEMBER'. By a courier who arrived here a few days since from Constantinople, intelligence has been received, that Mr. Adair reached the Dardanelles on the 10th of October, and immediately commenced negocia tions, tending to the speedy restoration of peace be tween England and the Sublime Porte. It has been observed, for some time past, that the English ships of war which are cruising in the Archipelago, allow Turkish vessels to pass unmolested, and do not in the least obstruct the intercourse of trade. BANKS OF THE MAIN, NOVEMBER 6. A lean of twenty millions of florins is to be opened in the kingdom of Westphalia, for the payment of the contributions due to the French Government. The sum total of the loan is to be divided into 100,000 debentures of 200 each ; and for the repayment of the capital and interest, the revenue of the State is to be mortgaged, arising from the sinking fund and the forests. The Emperor Napoleon has appointed Marshal Kellerman, Duke of Valmy, Commander in Chief of the Army of the Coast of the Channel ; in conse quence of which appointment, he intended to set out in a few days for Paris, whence he wilt proceed to the head-quarters at Boulogne.

PRIVATE LETTER.—STOCKHOLM, liOQ. to. This morning a courier arrived at the Royal lace, with dispatches from General Paler, ing the pleasing inselligence of a victory over a tachment of the enemy's army. On the 29th 1 Adjutant General Sandels was attacked near 11t salmi, by the Russian army, under the orders deo neral Tutschrow. The battle was maintained on sides with great obstinacy for several hours, sae last terminated in a complete victory over the :fans, who left upon the field four hundred killed ; double the number wounded. g the form' the gallant and much regretted Ai reral the Pas Dolgourucki. Oa our side the loss is comparatis small, there being in killed only fifty, and one le dred and sixty wounded, among whom are eight cers. The force of the Russians was estimated five thousand four hundred men, and that of Swedes did not exceed half that number. It has ie the lot of the Swedes, through the whole of the po sent arduous struggle, to contend with doable IX *umbers, and to this is to be ascribed the VIII 6 ceu of loss on the part of the enemy, who owe alfo advantages they have gained to numbers and( and not to superior tactics or bravery. the 1 officers who have been made prisoners in distal and who had served in.the campaign against! have publicly declared that they never had to them so formidable a resistance as that tbri yyll recently experienced from the Swedes, who their turn, that the Russians fought bravely.

Long Ann. 18 Cons. for ace. 6611 Dutch papers to the 26th, containing extracts from Mostiteurs of the 22d inst. have been received. They .contain no recent intelligence respecting the military operations in Spain—a circumstance which we con sider as rather important at the present moment ; for, if the gloomy accounts of victories over the Patriots, had reached Paris, that have boen received from Co. runna, no small degree of industry would have been employed to give them the utmost publicity. We can add but little to the accounts received two days ago from Plymouth. We understand s however, that Captain BLANC! believes their geseral substance to be correct; namely, that after the 1 1th, General BLAKL drove back the enemy. This Officer, as a corroborative circumstance, states, that the Governor of St. Andero, (the port from which he sailed on the 16th), though he had previously forbidden some ar tillery, which had been shipped during the time of the alarm, to be relanded, had, on the 15th, after receiving the news of the victories, given orders to that effect. Government, we believe, have received no intelligence from Spain since the arrival of the Pellew packet from Corunna ; but the unfavourable impres sion produced by this suspension of direct communi -1 cation with that country is not a little softened by the circumstance of no very unfavourable intelligence having reached us through the indireit channel of France and Holland. Had BONAPARTI obtained any signal successes over the Patriot armies, it is conjee cured that he would not have been backward in send ing us accounts of them. Though Government have received no official ad vice of recent events in Spain, it is understood that Sir DAVID BAIRD'S last communication states, that he can maintain his position in the passes of Gallicia, while Sir JOHN Moon's force may make good•its retreat upon the line by which it has advanced. It ought, however, to be noted, that Sir DAVID BAIRD, as a just and prudent measure of precaution, was in. duced to detain the transports which were about to return from Comma. Our Port Letters of this morning announce the ar rival of the VIRAGO at Plymouth. One letter says from the coast of Spain"—another 44 from a cruise." Had she recently quitted a Spanish port, the accounts brought by her would probably have been stated.— We may soon expect to receive authentic accounts, and to have a termination put to the state of suspence which tow prevails. Some private letters of the 23cl have also been re ceived from Holland. They state that it was the de termination of the Government to enforce the Em bargo on all shipping in the Dutch ports, with the utmost rigour. It was reported yesterday that a series of the M... 1 :ileum to Friday last had been received in town. We do not believe that any papers of so late a date have been received. CONTINESTAL JOURNALS. The vessel which wb yesterday announced to have arrived at Harwich, did not bring a Gottenbnrgh mail, as we stated by mistake; but, by her. we have received Hamburgh and Altona Papers to the 13th instant, the contents of which are rather important. The Harnkszi ant/peaks, of the 12th, in au ar ticle dated Vienna, the 2d instant, confirms the report that Mr. ADM" bad arrived at Coustailitiopte, ;with II
