HELSLINTBURGH, APRIL 18. Os Brittonic Majesty's ships the Orion and Van- F ed are gone to anchor off Copenhagen as guard. j os; the Centaur and Implacable, together with poor three smaller vessels, will remain here for the jus eparpose. The French force in Holstein and in tie Island of Fyen is -aid to consist of 15,00 0 Epa• suds, 10,000 French, and 5000 Dutch ; and are . commanded by Bernadotte. They seem to have given tr,) for the present the idea of coming over to Zealand ; Weed it is thought, that at this moment Bonaparte" nation is more particularly engaged in the South of tuope than the North, and the appearance of the English fim has had the effect of putting an end to !is operations here. The retreat of Bernadotte frc in Copenhagen, as soon as he heard of the English sips having it sight, is said to have been rather pre- GOTTEN BURGH, APRIL 22. That part of the Swedish army which has entered Pony, is said to have already advanced seven Swe at miles (which is equal to nearly fifty English), without much opposition. By the last accounts from Finland, the Russians were retreating ; the cause of this is not known, hut is reported to be for want of provisions. APRIL 23.—A courier has arrived this morning rzsm Stockholm, but brings nothing, new from the may in Finland. The Swedish Government, we iv% has thought proper to grant protection to all Slips having British licences. Upwards of 30 Danish ps.boats have, during the last week, appeared off Se Swedish coast, near Stronstadt, to the no small leeyance of that neighbourhood. 6. We stated yesterday (in our Plymouth letter) that , ciders had been received to equip, with all possible dispatch, and to victual for six months, the Squadron under the command of Admiral Sir J. T. pucKwavan. There is at this time, an unusual bustle in fitting out the ships of war at that station, but the particular case has not transpired. The piimax, which we stated to have sailed, was recalled by signal before she got past the Penlet point. Of the Admiralty vessels which sailed with dispatches, one proceeded to Ushant and Rochefort, another to Cadiz and the Streights, sad a third to the West Indies. This activity is pro bably connected with accounts received respecting some projected naval movements of the enemy. The Dowager Countess of CLoNmrtt's Assembly, held lastnight in Portman-square, was fully attended by the fashionable world. • managed with great expedition, the men marching on board on a platform laid across from the pier to the vessels. The different transports leave the harbour as soon as possible, after they have received their men, and proceed for the Downs. The 2d division of the 2d Light Battalion of the German Legion, about 550 men, and 480 of the Ist Light Battalion, which were all embarked on Monday, sailed yesterday in six trans ports, viz. the Charlotte, Edward, Juno, Fanny, In dusky, and WiDlipm and John. " The 2d division of the Ist Light Infantry arrived here yesterday forenoon, and in the afternoon the Ist Battalion of the line of the German Legion from Canterbury. 'they were all embarked before night, and the transports sailed this day for the Downs. 44 The 24 Battalion of the German line arrived this day, and is now embarking—The sth Battalion is expected. tomorrow, and the 7th on Friday." Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, his MAJESTY a;rived at the • Queen's Palace, from Windsor, where he was received by the Dukes of YORK, C U MBERLAND, and CAMBRIDGE. At two o'clock his MAJESTY held a private levee. The following had the honour of being presented w his MAJESTY, upon various occasions : The Earl of MAYO, upon his arrival from Ireland.

Lady Rusu's Party, on Tuesday evening, was amongst the most crowded this season. The late Mr. BENJAMIN Gain,',nes v-in was made, it seems, about seven years ago : in addition to the other behests to his widow, he has left her his plate and carriages; to the private tutor he has bequeathed 501. as a recompence for the performance of his duties in the family.—His Will was made in the year 1798 ; but the codicil which specifies most of the legacies, was added two years ago. A Dublin paper says—" A few nights since, the rafters supporting the gallery of the Little Theatre. Stafford -street, gave way during the performance, and the entire came to the ground. The scene was dis tressingly whimsical ; such a confusion of legs, faces, caps, h ats , sticks, bonnets, &c. was perhaps never be fore seen ; we have not heard that any serious acci de it was the consequence." The Grand Jury of Arma&h, for the Lent Assizes, have come to a resolution to instruct the Representa tives of the County to further with their decided sup port, any measure that may be brought forward in the Imperial Parliament for modifying, and placing in some more equitable mode, the payment of the Clergy in Ireland. Monday a Court Martial was held on Therna‘ Dillon alias Richard Hall, marine, of his Majesty's cutter Sprightly, for robbery and 'desertion. He was sen tenced to receive 500 lashes. from India. Brigadier General NIGIRTINGALZ, upon his being appointed to the Staff of the Forces under the command of Major-General SPENCER. The Bishop of Quoin took leave of his MAJESTY, previous to his leaving England for Canada. His MAJESTY held a Privy Council, and gave pri vate audiences to the Duke of PORTLAND and the Ca binet Ministers present ; likewise the American Mi nister, Mr. ROSE, &c. At half past six o'clock, his MAJESTY set off on his return to Windsor. Sir ALEXANDER GORDON of Culvennen, Lady GOA.. DON, Mr. and Miss GORDON, have left town for Green law-house, in Scotland. Yesterlay a Cabinet Council was held at the Duke of PORTLAND'S; the greater part of the Members as sisted. In the evening his Grace gave a grand Cabinet Dinner to all tlle Ministers at present in town. Yester,lay a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the ships" OCEAN and SIR STEPHEN LUSHINGTON were stationed for Madeira, Madras, and Bengal. The TRAVERS, COLLINS, and EARL SPENCER, l izmixo, stationed for Madras and Bengal, were directed to touch at Madeira.—The, Court adjourned at six o'clock till Wednesday next. WILLIAM BLcXAM, Esq. of Highgate, was yester-' day elected a Dir ector to the Globe Insurance Com- pany by a very great majority, in the room of the late WILLIAM DUNCAN, Esq. On Tuesday a young man, about 22 years of age, and of a very genteel appearance, attempted to impose on several persons at Leicester, as a travelling partner of Sir RICHARD PHILLIPS, the Sheriff, of London. — He had recourse both to fraud and forgery, but made his escape, and may now perhaps be practising upon the credulity of others in that neigkbourhood, if this notice should not operate as a timely caution. BooK COLLECTOR! —At the late Beaumaris Assizes, a young man, named John Pritchard, was convicted of stealing a quantity of cordage, with part of which he made a rope ladder, and conveyed himself down the chimney of the Library of the Rev. Mr. LEWIS, of Llanrhydlad, from whence he stole more than forty volume: of books. He was sentenced to service on board a man of war, but effected his escape from prison soon after his judgment was pronounced. We are assured that the Anniversary Festival of the Humane Society will be celebrated at the City of London Tavern on the 4th of next month. Three thousand one hundred and ninety-five of our fellow creatures have been restored to life, to their families, mil to the State. Many who were children when rescued from the watery grave, having arrived at years of maturity, are either settled in useful occupa tions, or defending their country in the fleets and armies of the nation. The Managers of this excellent i Institution have likewise established Humane So cieties in various districts of this kingdom, and in distant parts of the world. The Right Honourable the LORD MAYOR and SHERIFFS have kindly promised to be present at the above Anniversary. The grand procession of Lives Restored will be introduced by the City Marshals, Stewards, Managers, and Medical Assistants; after which, an appropriate Address will be recited by a well-known public character. The 2d inst. the Rialto. Charlotte, and Lord Nel transports, arrived at Passage (Waterford), and , same day Major-General WALLER selected 431 mes•from the 2d battalion 88th ,Foot, or Connaught Rangers, wno, 'with 14 Serjeants an a proportion of Officers, were embarked by six o'clock that evening the Ist battalion now in gngland.—The men were principally volunteers from the Irish Militia, all fine young fellows. They embarked with the greatest alacrity, cheering successively as the boats pulled off. The gd battalion is still at New Geneva, and has great expectations from the Irish Militia Corps which have not yet' completed their quotas. The 24 battalion, SEA Foot, has marched from New Geneva barracks to Fermoy. They were replaced by the Queen's, County Militia from Ross. Wednesday the 2d division of the South Mayo Mi litia marched into Dublin from Eyrecourt, on their route for Rathkeale, &c. Thursday a very considerable detachment from the Bth garrison battalion marched through Dublin to the barracks in George's-street, from whence they are to proceed to England, in order to be discharged, the time of their stipulated service being now expired. On Monday last the 2d battalion of the Sidi regi ment, the Honourable Lieutenant Colonel COCHRANE, commenced its march from Worcester to Gosport for the purpose of embarking for Jersey. The examplary conduct of this corps during its stay at Worcester reflects credit both on Off i cers and men, and has se cured to them the rod wishes of the inhabitants. It is said that the Queen's regiment, as well as most of the 2d battalions in Jersey and Guernsey, being completed in discipline, will soon leave those islands. The 2d battalion 38th regiment, from Ireland, is going to Guernsey under Lieut. General Sir J. DOYLE, Bart. The remains of the 94th Regiment, or Scotch Bri gade, go immediately to Scotland. On Saturday the 2d battalion of the 89th Regi ment, commanded by Major MORISON, marched into Andover, on their route to Shrewsbury. The Scotch Greys who are to, go to Ireland, will be relieved, in their present quarters, by the Inniskillings. The 2d battalion of the 30th regiment have marched from Granard for Longford. Before their departure from Brighton, the Officers of the Horse Artillery gave an elegant breakfast to Lord CHARLES SOMERSET, Major-General HUGONIN, the Staff of the District, and a numerous party of Ladies and Gentlemen. The 89th Regiment, commanded by General BERTIR, is on its march ko Shrewsbury. The Shropshire Volunteer Infantry and the White haven Volunteers have gone upon permanent duty for 14 days. A. very large barrack and depot are immediately to be built at Chester. It is likewise determined on by the Commissioners of the Barrack Department, to build an infantry barrack at Brighton. We hope that the hints which we have so often thrown out will now be attended to. We learn that with few exceptions, almost every barrack hitherto built, has been of an improper construction, or built on an unhealthy spot. In the choice of the spot we hope that private interest has NEVER been consulted, but the opinion of the Phy sician General is as necessary to be taken here, as the, opinion of the Attorney for the Barrack Board, on the validity of the deeds. Yesterday se'nnight, his Royal Highness the Duke I of CAMBRIDGE, attended by his aid-decamp, arrived at the King's Palace, in Gloucester-row, Weymouth. His Royal Highness was received by General Lisisni- GEN, commander of the garrison, Colonel ALTEN, and several other field-officers. His Royal Highness dined with the General and a select party ; and in the even-, ing his Royal Highness entertained a private circle of friends in his Majesty's apartments. Next day, his Royal Highness, attended by'his Staff and several field-officers, inspected the Ist and 2d regi. ments of Hanoverian Light Horse (dismounted) in Radipole Barrack-yard. The morning being favou rable, the troops had an opportunity of appearing to more advantage than on any former field-day. After the inspection, his Royal Highness dined with the officers of the Ist regiment, and was entertained by them in a manner suitable to his rank. The following morning, both regiments (mounted) were reviewed by his Royal Highness on the Sands ; a great concourse of people were present, to witness this field-day ; affording the brigade an opportunity of acquiring increased credit, and, by the emulation of both officers and privates, to be distinguishedly noticed by his Royal Highness, their commanding officer. Afterwards the DUKE, General LINMNGEN, and Staff, dined with Colonel ALTER and the offi cers of the 24 regiment, at Seriven's Table d'Hote on the Esplanade. The dinner was most sumptuous, and the whole entertainment conducted in a stile of elegartce expressive of every attachment to their Royal Guest ; accompanied by an elegant display of fire- 1 works, prepared for the occasion by Signior Inverro of Bath, and exhibited under the direction of Messrs. SCRIVRN and PORTBURY. His ROYAL HIGHNESS, General LINSINGEN, Colo nel ALTER, and a select party, afterwards spent the evening with Dr. BYAM, at his house in Gloucester row, where a private concert took place, at which his Royal Highness, Colonel ALTER, and several ama teurs assisted. At twelve o'clock his Royal Highness took leave of the company, and set off for Windsor. RAS C INDIES.

She had only small arms, and was manned with 50 men. She was formerly a Torbay Ifishing boat, and it is very fortunate that she is taken, as she would in all probability have been this summer a great annoyance to the trade on this coast, her ap pearance not being so suspicious as that of a lugger.
