Private letters from Copenhagen Rate, that the EMPEROR of ItussiA, having received fume difpatches, addreffed to him perfunally, and from the hand of B,NAPARTE, on the prefent Rate of Europe, had canfed a general anfwer to be written by his Minifler of Fut eign Affairs, fignifying that he could not hold any correfpondence on public bufinefs, unlefs it were conveyed through the regular and diplomatic chan nels. Tilde letters alto confirm the flatement that Portugal is chiefly indebted for her prefent fafety to the interference of Italia. We have great fatisfaelion in communicating, in our Paper of this day, the Convention which has been concluded between this country and Sweden, relpeCting what is to he confidered in future as contra band of war. It will be recolleCted that this was the only point of difference which remained unadjufted after the Treaty of St. Pcterfburgh, of ittot ; and the fettlement of this queflion was the more impor tant, as the difcuflion refpeeting it contributed, more than any other, to the two Aimed Neutralities; and as, in the opinion of many able and refpeaable per lons, it was the only queflion conneeted with thy Armed Neutrality, on which (confidering theterms of the Treaty of 1661) any doubt could be railed of the jullice of the pretenfions advanced by Great Britain. By this Convention the Su ecliat Government dif tindly agrees, that all manufadured articles ferving for the equipment of (hi; s of war, if &Rifled for the ports of an enemy, are to be fubjed to confifcation ; and all unmanufadured articles (crying for the equip ment of (hips of every defcription, and manufadured articles (crying for the equipment of merchant (hips, with certain exceptions, are to be fubjed to the right of pre.emption. The right Of pre-emption is, indeed, all that this country has claimed, in pratitice, with refped to thefe articles. As they confti cute not only the (topic, but almoft the Cole, articles of the produce of Sweden, it appears equitable and kilt that, whila Great Britain (tmid not be deprived of the advantage of preventing naval Itores from being conveyed to the ports of enemies, the Swedith Government (hould not, on the other hand, find the principal, if not the only branch of their commerce annihilated,in confequence of the intervention cf a war top which they ate not parties. The articles exempted from the right of confi(ca. lion or pre-emption, are fuel' as in their (late, as raw materials, have nct been ufually coofidered as naval ft ores. Early this morning difpatches were received at the Admiralty from Admiral Cotawaws. They were landed at Penzance on Thurfday evening from his Majefly's fhip lantvartoasts, Captain Moons, which left our fleet off Brett all well on the preceding day at three o'clock. The accounts brought by the INDEFATIGABLE (late, that of late there has been fuch an unufual buftle in the harbour of Brett, as to induce a belief in our own fleet that they will Coon venture out, in confequence of pofttive orders to that effea, however reluaant the French crews may be, and endeavour to make for the point to which they Ire deftined, which there is no kind of doubt is Ire land. When the.difpatches were tent cff, our brave tars were in hourly expeeation of teeing the enemy put to tea, and were all in high fpirits, wi(hing for no thing more earneftly, than that they might loon have an opportunity of giving them a found drubbing. There are a great number of tranfports at Brett, and it is believed, they were taking troops on board when rhefe &patches were fent away. Some time ago, we informed our readers, that the number of French (hips of the line in the outer road at Breit was feven. On Thurfday an account reached us from a most refpeflable quarter, which mentioned on!) two. We have reafon to believe, however, that there wa, fome miflake in the latter ftatement: if we may credit the fubjoined letter from Brea, the word twenty teems to have been omitted in the account of Thurfday. That letter as well as thole which accom pany it, were brought by a Gentleman who came from France in an open boat. It mentions one eir cumilance which partly ferves to explaiti the difagree ment in 'he accounts refpefting the enemy's force at Breit. The (hips of the line are generally in the inner harbour, and thenumber in the outer is oftenchanging. All accounts, however, kern to agree that Breft is the quartei whence we may expea the chief and firft effort of the enemy, though it is certainly not impof fible that a feint may be made from fome of the ports up the channel. We may certainly boon look for Tome important intelligence. Indeed we have heard from a refpee table quarter, that the FIRST CONSUL has fixed on the loth of this month to try his fortune. One cir cumilance gives a kind of probability to this. It is well known that the FIRST CONIVL is extremely fu perflitious in his devotions to the fickle goddefs, and fond of particular days on which he has been fortunate. It was on the loth of November that he overturned the French Dire Cory and laid the foun dation of his ufurped power. BaxsT, OCT. 24.—There are encamped and in cantonments within about the space of as miles of this town r70,0c0. The principal talk among the foldiers and officers is of Ireland. England is rarely mentioned. You will be furprized, as I confers I was when I firtt heard it, when I tell you there are 21 rail of the line and 5 frigates in this hat bon, —but with my own eyes I counted them, and tranr ports, flat-bottomed boats very rew, hut a number of what are calledCatoncers, at kali 18. They are veffels with oars, about 7o feet long, fchooner rigged, car rying a x 4 pounder in the bow and (tern, v.ith fwivels, and about 8o artillerymen. BR Lux, nephew of him blown up by NELSON, commands one detachment of the troops, which are daily exercifing in embarking and difembarking.—The line of battle (hips keep in the inner harbour ; feidom more than fix or eight are feen in the outer. They frequently change. We are aftonifhed here at the forbearance of your. Go vernment with refpeet to Spain and Portugal. Bo- NAPAILTE has not been here, nor do we exped him. Depend upon it, our forces point towards Ireland. Perhaps alfo the Weftern part of England. I fufpeet AUGER/A.ll'S army has fome connection with the plans here, but I am afraid to aflc queftions." " ST. OMSR's,. OCT. 15.—We expesl the FIRST Cousin. here to-morrow, to make his firft arran;e ment. Vawnerests, who denounced his uncle, and alfo his benefaßor, who fent him to America, is to have the command of the van, Boro the center, and Awoaaossv of the rear. Petitions come daily to the Confular ear, befeeching him not to rifle his facred perfon. Six hundred flat-bottomed boats are now ready, the men, so each, appointed and in training; 1400 more are in great forwardnefs, which will com plete the requifite number, 2000. We have about us t 60,000 men. From Spain to the Baltic, 400,000 are to be allotted for the purpofe, of which 200,000 are eonfidered as facrificed ; but with the remainder the deed is to be done. It is now underftood from the higheß authority, that however confined in point of time, there will be three diftind invafions of Eng land, Scotland, and Ireland. The Firft Conful is by no means popular here. Jaffa and Rofetta are both talked of, and poor KLEBIR often lamented. A notion prevails here that the invafion will be attempt• ed after fome ftrong eagerly wind flail have blown off your (hips from our coati, where the wind has generally been obferved to veer round towards the fouth, as after awefterr. gale it does to the north. Our boats are 25 feet lOng, and will carry so men, betide the requifite failors; but the foldiers are to help to row. Dockyard men arrive in great numbers from Marfeilles and Toulon, and Come failors all° ; but the latter are very fcarce. The Breft fleet is very defedive in there, although othervtife more formi dable than you imagine. I raw yetterday 7o mortars of a new conftruetion, by GUILDOT, fent away for Boulogne and the Coaft. They are to carry farther than the old one.. and with much furer effect." " DUNKIRK, OCT. 16.—The day before yefterday failed an American for Hiverfordwell ; and this day an embargo was laid on all (hipping, neutral as well as others. Their Tailors alfo are taken. Something ferions is about to take place. By the latter end of next month the attempt will certainly be made.— From Amfterdam we hear, the Dutch have to fail of , she line in the Texel, befides frigates, and nearly 4 00 merchantmen, befides a great .number of Ichnyts, which are decked, and capable of (landing the Muth Sea. The army in that country, Dutch and French, amounts to go,ooo, and are certainly defined for Scotland. Three of the floating batteries are com plete. Several more are building in our ports and thofe of Holland. They are terrible veffels, and Paid to be formed on the model of thofe the late King of Swans* ufed with fuch effeft againft the Ruffians, by the advice of Sir SIDNIT SMITH. This day Bona- PAZTE arrived at St. Omer's. Our flat-bottomed boats carry 18 pair of oars, with fwivels. The men pradife going in and out of them frequently, jump ing in tl.t water up to the chin. A channel is cut near Dnuay and Arras, by which timber is fent in great quantities. We have only one 64 and one frigate here." " PAIIS, Ocr. 14.—A1l our underwriters are fail ing. There is no (landing the frequent captures made by the Englifh. PIRRIGRAVX, and about half a dozen others, are the only found ones.

His condua to the Englifh is generally difapproved. The foldiers of the German and Egyptian army fpeak openly againft him. Would you believe it, he goes to mars every Sunday, and has ordered a chapel to be built at Mal maifon, left his piety Mould cool in his rufticated retirements. Is Within there few days, we have had all the old Giver cried down—that is, filver with the impreffion worn out. A new coinage of gold is alto iffued.

To. morrow or next day, BONAPAITI leaves us for St. Omer's, the grand rendezvous for the Army fpeci6. cally of England. Mown has certainly declined the command." THEdTRICAI. JERSEY THEATRE. The pi.T cf King . 7ohn, altered from SHAIMPFARE by 1)r. VALe r, has been lately brought out at this Rage. Mr. Poor, who lately appeared in Hamlet at Drury Lane, prolonged his Day in the Hand to take a part in it. Since its eilablilliment the houfe was never fo full as on the prefent occafion. The ae . tors and the audience feemed to vie with each other in expreffing and in applauding the loyal fentiments, which the Editor, our countryman, has put in the mouth of the charaeiers. None but thofe, who know the force of a combination of local attachment and general patriotifm, can conceive the burns of ap plaure, with which the following lines were received: " The foe advances J is invaded; Bot J never will fubtnit to France !" A Gentleman, who lately faw the fame play per formed at Weymouth, aliens, that in many parts it was aeled hete in a fuperior manner. This day, being the anniverfary of the Gun pow der Plot, was obferved as a holiday at all the Pub lic Offices. At one o'clock the Park and Tower gulls were fired, and in various parts of the metro.. polis and environs were difplayed different grotefque figures, defined to be made a facrifice to the Acmes in the evening, according to ufual cuaom. Her May esrv, and the PRINCZESFS, have been feveral days bufily occupied in embroidering the co -1 )urs for the Pimlico, or Q2een's own Regiment, which will be prefented to them by her Majssrr, fome day next week. The in, 3d, and 4th.--6th, 7th, and Bth regiments of Loyal London Volunteers were yeßerday exercif e I together as one brigade before the Earl of HAIL.. ILINCTOST, in Hyde Park. They went thros.e their oitferent evolutions with greater precifinn than could reasonably be expeCted for fuch young Corps acting together in fo large a body. At the quarter feffions, held at Ayr, on Tnefday fe'nnight, the Lord Lieutenant Rated, from the in formation he had received, that an invallon would very likely foon be attempted ; on which a refolution was paired, ordering that the farmers fhould be re quelled, by the different clergymen from the pulpit, to thtefh out as much of their corn as poffi , ile con vert it into meal, and have it packed up in barrds, or otherwife, that it might be ready to be carried A were a necellity to occur for driving the country, fo as to enfure a fupply of food. Some Officers of Sheernefs dock-yard have arrived at Scutt/tampion, and commenced fitting the fifhing fmacks and other Tech, and boats, to receive a gun each, and fome two The principle up)n which this plan is executed, is, that in cafe of an alarm or actual approach of an enemy, thefe velrels can be eqnipped, and put in a Rate for action in lets than ten minutes, and each gun capable of being pointed in any dis ex lion, either a-head, or a-ftern, or upon the bow, beam, or quarter; and when not wanted for fervice, they can be removed from the veffels in the fame fpaceof time as before, and the people thereof proceed imme diately to follow their ufual occupation of fifbing, Btc. Near three hundred vetlels of this defcription have been already fo fitted, under the direftion of the above Officers, at the different ports between South hampton and Margate, lince the latter end of Sep. tember ha.

A confiderable degree of concern eaifts in the pub. lic mind no the efcape of the Duguai Trouin from our &et in the Weft Indies. &fides the Es.srnawr who engaged her, it is believed that two other Brat Chips of war were in fight. This tingle (hip had like, wile the good fortune to efcape from two of our Ibips of the line on the coati of Spain. This circamfiance it certainly lingular, and has feldom r.ct.tirred in our naval hillorj. Yet we doubt not that very fatisfac. tory reafons will be given for the efcape of this [hip. It ii to be oblerved that the account of her arrival in Spain is given. not by her own commander, but by that of the truerriere frigate. Nor is the date without fome fisfpicion. But the French Govern ment would (car cely publith Cu particular an account, if it were not true. At all events, etc are fore that the prefent admi niftration will pot imitate the e.nclift of their pre deeeffors, who rewarded with the honours of is Peerage a m.n who had Coffered a witoLa at.sar tq efcape from him. • A letter from St Vincent's, dated Sept. 4, lays— " The fleet from Britain arrived a few days ago at Barbadoes, and the fleet from Cork arrived here on* ad, under convoy of la Pulpy frigate.
