DANISH COMMERCE. Private letters from Copenhagen, dated the 22d ult. contain the following information, which is likely to interest our mercantile readers:— 66 The Danish Government, by ordinances issued in May and June, 1812, prohibited the importation of all kinds of foreign merchandize, which, by drain, ing the country of considerable sums, occasioned a loss, which nothing could compensate. At the mo ment whcn the peace with England revived, naviga tion, it pahlislicci an ordinance, dated April 2, 1814, which, annulling all those previously issued, placed the D:inish commerce on the same footing as before the w.tr, and restored the tarif of duties fixed in 1797. This ordin..nce permits the importation of ail kinds of foreign merchantlize, except the following : _ 1. Cloths and all sous of woollen stuffs that are sold by the ell. 2. Mans and cottons, printed or stained, which are sold by th i s ell.. _ S. Fustians of all kinds, and manitfactu:ed cotton hose. 4. Raw fcrago sugar, and sugar refined in Europe. S. Porcelain and playing cards. Howeyer, till a new order, the woollens and cot tons specified in the first three articles May be admit ted in.Qrder to remain in the country, but only at the Cikstonr-house of Copenhagen ; and on condition that qerbe declared at the ing's Custom-house, like other imported goods, and deposited in the ware houses orthe Custom-house. • 44 Thei shall be publicly sold by auction by the CostnOs, and not delivered to the purchasers till they are marked with - the Custom-house stamp, after the sale, and after palioithe King's duties. 4 ; these duties shall be 30 per cent. on the gross producA of the sale; the proprietors shall receive 70 per cent. witboutother dedgction. At the other cus tom-houses of the kingdOpi, at which such goods shall arrive, they shall merely be stamped from one tti the other, till they reach Copenhagen. " T.h.. entrepots of transit and credit are re-esta blished, as they were by the ordinance of the Ist of February, 1797. The entrepot of credit is, however, restricted to the period of six quarters, and the duties on merchandise deposited in these entrepots must be paid bef re the expiration of the sixth quarter. " The Cu e stotn-liouse duties on goods not prohi bited must be paid in specie, ,ccording to the tarif of the Ist of Fthluai y, 1797; according to the value of the old current Danish iis dollar, which was then 4 fr. 40 c. and which differs nearly one-half from the new silver rix-dollar, which is worth exactly half as much as the bank or specie rit aullar of Hamburg& ‘• The duties on importation hive nekbeen altered except upon thou follptvisg articles : Pia Dallas D=4l+ Biota 802114140* Roe"et! erlfer, and al/ 'lda& of roots that rimy he suintitu.ed for it, as dl dory, ilte. per 11). .. ....

An article from Frankfort states, that BONAPARTE and Mui . have been fully reconciled, and that the for- goer is inviting to his standard in Elba the disaffected of all countries, and particularly those of Italy and Corsica ; and insinuations are thrown out that MURAT is not quite so hostile to these measures as a legiti mate Sovereign ought to be. The following are extracts irom the above Mail: FRANKFORT, AUGUST 6. 'We have here strange reports from Italy : King ,achim Murat, it is stated, is reconciled to Na poleon, and there resort to the latter many adven turers from Piedmont and other parts of Italy, but particularly from Corsica, to Elba, as he seems to be in no want of money. On the other hand, Napoleon is said to be intriguing in France by the aid of money, and to seek to excite discontent among certain classes . of people. These we repeat as reports, which cannot be warranted as true, and which, perhaps, have little foundation. Some measures have given rise to an opinion, that the line of Custom-house stations along the Maese will net long remain, but that all the countries on the left of the Rhine will be placed under the General Go. verument of Belgium. In this case the Prussians will withdraw to the tight bank of the Rhine, and occupy the whole extent from . Wesel to the Lahti. A Russian Cooimissioner Is expected to join the conferences at Ghent.

With the exception of an article announcing the imprisonment of four persons (two Authors and two Booksellers) for two Pamphlets on the subject of the restitution of ihe property of Emigrants, they are of little importance. The publication took place two or three months since, but the ministerial party seem to have waited until the Chamber of Deputies decided upon the question of the Liberty of the Press : PARIS, AUGUST 14. Yesterday his Majesty, accompanied by his Royal Brother, took an airing in the Bois-de-Boulogne. Last night there was a grand party at the Dowager Dutchess of Orleans. Among other distinguished personages the Dutchess de Bourbon was therm From calculations made, it appears that St. Do mingo will require 10,971 slaves annually for five years tocome, before its population becomes complete. . _ *flare was no public meeting of the Chamber of Deputies yesterday, nor will there be any until Tues day, Monday being Assumption:day. The Merchants of Bourdeaux have been informed that they may dispatch vessels and cargoes for the French colonies, but they will not be permitted to enter until after the period assigned for their restitution. The fete which the City of Paris proposes to give the King, will take place on the 29th instant. His Royal Ilighneas the Duke of Angouleme, ar rived yesterday in this capital.

The Government having received advices from the Admiral, that there had been seen a Swedish ship of war, with a merchant vessel of the same nation off Cape St. Vincent, steering for Algiers, immediately restored the six Swedish ships detained here, and they have sailed accordingly. CASSEL, AUGUST 4, The Hanoverian Ministry has restored to the Prince Bishop, and to the Catholic Clergy of the Principa lities of Osnabruck and Hildesheim, the rights and privileges secured to them by the recess of the De, putation of the Empire in 1803, and of which they were deprived by the late King of Westphalia. From November 1, 1813, the Prince Bishop of Hildeelivim will receive his pension of 25,000 Prussian crowns ; and those of Basle and Liege will, in like manner, be paid those assigned them by the 'clog of Prussia, out of the revenues of the country of Hildesheim. The religious belonging to the suppressed Convents will also be paid the pensions fixed in 1803. The Civil Officers attached to Chapters and Churches, who received nothing under the former Government, are again to be paid their salaries with arrears; in short, both in Hildesheim,' Brunswick; Munster, and Osnabruck, the utmost attention is paid to repair the wrongs and losses sustained for so many years by the Catholic establishments. The. Elector of Hesse has also re-established the Ecclesi astical pensions in his dominions on the footing of 1806: he has re-endowed the Ministers of the Catholic religion in this residence, and also a Professor of Ca non Law at Marburg. A Gentleman of the highest respectability, who has just compleated a tour of Ireland, declares that lie never was in a country more tranquil than Ireland is 'at this moment, or in one in which he experienced more liberality and kindness. By letters from Cadiz, to tliF 27th of last month, it appears that no treasure had arrived from Ame ric4, and that this magnificent port, witty all its com mercial facilities, was almost as moat in a state of in action as if it were an obscure town in the interior- of the kingdom. Nothing more can be collected from these sources, the vigilance of the police, and the fear of the vengeance of the Court, excluding every thing in the wiry of political observation. The Marquis of CAMPO SAGRADO has ifeVn tkpoint ed Capfain-General of Catalonia. The accounts re present the state of this province as approaching . to that of general insurrection, aryl the same disposition has been manifested, we are told ! in the contiguous diitricts of Arragon. Of all the provinces of Spain, Catalonia was most attached to tbeConstitution framed by the Cortes, because the industry of the infiabitacqs ,enabled them most advantaget 1 Als.y to avail themselves of the Fivil-ges it restored to the people. cHgr4 l Various imperfect statements having appeared re specting a rebellion which broke put last year in China, and which, it is possible, may not yet be en tirely suppressed, we are happy in being able to lay before um. Readers some particulars respecting it, on which they•may place a perfect reliance. In the course of last year, a conspiracy was formed against the life of the reigning Emperor, which was attempted to be executed in September. On the 2d day of that month, the sect of Teen-le [Ce/estiol rea son—llluminati] broke out in rebellion, and spread ruin and devastation over a large district, about 200 miles from Pekin. On the 28th of the same month, an insurrection broke out in Pekin itself; and on that day upwards of seventy of the rebels succeeded in forcing their way into the Palace, and attempted to reach the royal apartments. In this they were pre vented ; but it was two days before they were ex pelled the Palace, and this not till after many per sons were killed or wounded. Of three that attempted to scale the wall that surrounds the inner apartments, two were shot by the Emperor's second son, and the third by his nephew. The EMPEROR himself was absent. He was to have returned on the day the attempt was made, but had delayed ; or it is possible the conspirators might have succeeded in intercepting and destroying him. The EMPEROR'S eldest brother is suspected to have been concerned in the conspiracy ; but it is so repugnant to the feelings of the nation, to put an elder brother to death, that he ha 6 escaped punishment. The Em my:in has, however, removed several of his principal Ministers fur their want of circumspection; for this is not the first attempt that has been made upon his life. Among others removed is the first Poe-swag, whose office has been conferred on Sung Tuzhin, the friend of the English Embassy—a circumstance that may ultimately improve Qur commercial relations with that vast Empire. A famine prevailed in the district in which the rebellion commenced, and the conspirators bad seized tan the circumstance as favourable to their views. It was a similar calamity that led to the overthrow of the last dynasty, about 170 years ago. The rebels made themselves masters of three cities and several districts, and such was the distress occa sioned by the &mine that the Chinese affirm, the flash of those Mho fell was eaten by the famishing people. The rebels sustained several defeats, but not till one of the Chinese heroes who died above a thousand years ago (like the Lady of the Pillar some time since in Spain) took a part in the contest. Fortu nately he was on the Royal side. At the end of December the rebels were, however, still in force in some mountainous districts. -This mighty Empire, like that of the Turks, seems. hastening to decay. In China many Associations exist, something like our Mason Lodges. By' the Government they are all called Kcdou fee —Religious banditti t thigh not distinguished by holding any peculiar tenets. They have distinct names, as " TI •e Association of the three Powers" [Neaten,Ea►th, awl Man]—" The Heaven and Earth Association"—,- “ Celestial Reason's Association," &c. They have secret marks and signs, by which they know each other—and their brotherhoods pervade the whole empire. One of their great objects is mutual defence and protection against real or supposed acts of in justice, and it is alledged that sometimes they have taken the lives of Magistrates supposed to have mai. created a number of the fraternity. • The Chinese ascribe the famine, the rebellion, aid all the evils with which they have been for some time visited, to the inP,tience of the Comet that appeated in 1811. A fiery meteor which was seen last year at Pekin, has also come in for a s!eare of the , blame, The Esweiton, in a Proclamation addressed to his subjects, ascribes them to the lower scale of his own virtues, compared with those of iris father and grand : father; and to the remiss conduct of his Ministers. The more knowing among the Chinese, to the debi lity of a decrepid system, which is unable to prevent oppression in the distant provinces.

During this run, she struck on sunken rock, near Disko island, heat a hole in her bottom,and knocked off the keel, which caused her to make three feet and a half water in au hour. Great exertions were made to reduce the leak, which at length was, in some degree, happily effected, by getting sails under the ship's bottom. The pumps were kept continually at work, and she was accompanied by the Horatio, tq tender any assistance, in case of further accident. THE imArr.
