The like, it is presumed, has been done at Copenhagen, where, it is said, English persons were ordered to be arrested, as well as throughout all Denmark. The Door Castle. G.

The do6airal Rainier is arrived in the river. We hear that the above liidiarnen fell in with the eltrinoniere and Padoeonlee French frigates, but the latter kept at a respedable distance, and did not at tempt to molest the Indiamen, who were well pre pared. and eager to give the enemy battle. We learn by a passenger arrived here, that rice it Manilla was exceedingly dear, having been sold at about eight dollats per bag. Bread was likewise ,elear in proportion.

A Gotter.bo7,!: Mail arrived yeaccrdar. witls letteTs and p.:pe:s the 23d last. but they do not bi ing later intelligence from Copenhagen that that already in our possession. We stated in a former Paper, that anot:ser Expe dition was preparing, and the Prints devoted to the tlinister have echoed our statement, but differ in their accounts of the quantity of force to be employed in the service. One of them says—" It..is to consist of nearly 8 000 troops, of which cavalry are to form a considerable proportion. The transports for con veying them are now assembling at Portsmouth; ar...1 4S they are only vianalled fur three months, it it inferred, that the service for which they are intended is not very distant. t.;eneral Bes atsrisaci, it is said, will command the Ex. pedision. The 3J, 25th, Sith, 83i, and 91st Regiments, are mentioned for embarkation."— According to another blinistaial Print, the force will be about 3000 men, and a Deputy /adjutant- General, a Deputy Quatter-hiaatm.Gemeal, an Inspeffor of Hospitals, two Physietans, and two Surgeons, are to form pan of the Staff; and the Expedition is expelled to sail in the crone of a few days. The blinisteri.il Prints co a little further and do net hesitate to avow, that the Islaud of Ma• d-iru i, the otie ft of this Secret Expedition ; in order to secure as much for Portugal, our ansient Ally, ati Kt may he able to rescue from the grasp of Bo ssrapia." In the cox of Admiral Gauesea's Espeditim, our readers w• 11 reedits% that from the moment the advanced :tate of the preparations rendered it safe or proper to spetmithlte spas its oiler, we uniformly stated, that it was destir.ed for Zealand ; while the IkTinisterial Prim; contended. that part of it 7.44" going to Flushing. We must, therefore, 1-sve Letter authority, before we tan set it down is a feet that L;adrira is the objet of th- ":.spedition papering at l'Grtsmcutli. -- Win 'had commenced with the Danes, and that we could not proceed with safety to the Sound. —However. I pushed on, in company with six sail, the/ being light ships got a-head of us a few nide., when I perceived a large ship among them, which proved to be a Danish frigate ; immediitelt after, I saw a sail bearing down, fortunately the Attrea frigate. Captain DUNBAR ; an action com menced, which lasted 20 minutes, when the Dane struck, and the ships captured by her, of course li berated. I expected every moment to have been taken, and certainly should had not the frigate come up. I was ordered home, and shall proceed. There are ah.lut '2O sail put in here, bound to Riga and Petersburg!), but will proceed home to Englat.d." If the above account be corre& this is a new cap ture. The Danish frigate, of the taking of which we were already apprised, was captured by the Co►ns,. A •esssel arrived at Arbroath, was chased by some of the Danish pilot-boats, in coming dawn the Sound, on the 22d ult. and 14w a ship belonging to Hull on fire. The noxiously expetted dispatches from Admiral GA mai ea had not arrived when this Paper well put to press.

This magnificent Theatre has undergone some improvements and repairs preparatory to its open ing. In the ornamental part the painting has been refreshed, and the gilding restored. 'Among the improvements is a moveable Proscenium, advanced about two feet, which completely. hides the setae shifters from the audience. The delusion of the scene is thus happily secured from many incidents calculated to destroy it. Two new private boxes have been added to the Lower Tin., w;iich is all that was wanted to complete the tiniform:ty of the Theatre. Two new lobbies have been also added. one to each of the Pitt doors. These will be a great convenience to the public. Thus iin?toved and embellished, the House will open with all the eclat, that well-merited popularity and inimitable talents can bestow, by the appearance of Mts. Joauart in a favourite character.

A young man, at the name of Tem/rm. a Cterk to a Barrister in the Temple. was with embezzling the property of Lis late Mr. Pallasiee, a Coal Merchant, in St. Walk, Clerkvnwell ; which offence is made, late act of Parliament, felony. It appeared, by an agreement between the parties, the f' was to receive three halfpence profit or tion for every bushel of coals he sold. have the licensed cart and horse of the . who was to find stabling and keeping for the and the Prisoner was ro find all other neceu foe carrying on the business. The charge now preferred against the Prisoner, was, that s,■ the 22ii day of August last, he had sold to a Mrs. Tuff one bushel of coals for the sum of nineteen pence, which he had received, but de. nied it to his employer, admitting, however, that he had sold the coals to Mrs. 'ruff. —The Cour.sel for the Prosecutiort contended, that this was pre. cisely similar to the case of Mr. Fawkes's groan, who had instructions to sell his master's horse for a certain sum, but disposed of the horse to Earl Cra ven for a larger sum, and embezzled the differ ence, for which be was tried and convicted the lase Old Bailey Sessions. Mr. Humphries, how ever, the Attorney for the Prisoner, contended, on the other hand, that the Prisoner was merely guilty of a lie in concealing the receipt of the limey, fur which he was liable as a debt, as for money had and received. Tile Prisoner. in his defence, stated, that this was a charge founded in malice, iie having left Prosecu•or and engaged with another master (Mr. Davis.) in the same line of business. Much enm►• nation and rc-criminatiJa ensued. and the Prisoner was committed. The Old Bailey Sessions will commence on Wed. nesday neat.
