Capt. Mantel' extols the courage and bravery of the Officers and men who serve under his orders ; this being the third convoy within the year which he has conduned to La Tunara, in spite of the attempts of the enemy to ()barna his passage. Lieutenant l)oa Mantel Cord-n, Commandant of a division of gun-boats at Carthagena, has likewise transmitted an account to his most Serene Highness, stating, that on the 27th ult. being in the latitude of Monte del Cope, he perceived at a distance an ene my's frigate, and a sloop of war, and fearing an at tack, he anchored under cover of Cape del Cope, in aline to defend 1 imself against such superior forces, the ft izate carrying 44 guns. When the enemy were veitl.l.. half cannon s: - .nt, they opened C;eir Ste with tot:t bili and canister upon our gurabonts, but were answered by these with so much briskness and pre cisien, that the frigate and brig, after half an hour's fg! 6 , -;r, bore away, giving over the anion. On our Li we had no misfortune. The Commandant applatr'.s much the zeal, valour, and good diciplitte, which both officers and men displayed on this occa sion. (Mach id Gazeie.)

In pursuance of the Crown Prince's order, dated Head-quarters, Kiel, the 20th of last month, all merchants, traders, warehousemen, and brokers, have been direaed to make a faithful declaration of all Er•glish goods which they have received since the beginning of the month of May, of this year, Isy the way of Toustingen, Husum, and Frederickstadt, before the Commissioners appointed for that pur- pose. It is a fortunate circumstance, that the valuable colle !lion of sea charts, which was found at the Holm, was timely secured, and thus prevented from falling into Popham's hands. We are assured, by well•informed persons, that neither any English nor Hanoverian troops have landed in Schonen ; that the Swedish troops which arrived there from Rugen have been sent home; that the Swedish fleet in Cailscrona is dismantled; and that not the least warlike movement is observed in Schonen. Yesterday, General Peyman, our Governor, is sued the following order : s , Whereas, the terns of six weeks, agreed upon in the ca pitulation concluded, has now elapsed, and this province is accordingly again in a state of war with England, like all other dominions of His Majesty the King ; therefore I herewith de• ciare, that the attachment of all English property, which was laid on before the conclusion of the said capitulation, but taken off in pursuance of the 9th Article, shall now again be put in force. All Engliiils property found in this city, and in the whole Island of Zealand, is, therefore, faithfully to be declared at the Police Offices of each place, in the manner prescribed in the Proclamation, of the 16th of August, of this year."

The Russian Minist e r from Stockholm (M. Alopeus) has arrived here upon a very important mission to the King. Since his arrival the report has been received that the Russians threaten to march an army through Finland into Sweden if th.. King persists in carrying on the war. A Courier arrived have on the 95th, in fourteen dais frnnt St. Petersburgh. He confirms the cur rent report, that the peace of Tilsit is very unpopu lar there. Mr. Merty is still at Helsinghorg. He has not yet seen the Clown Prince, and it is not probable that he will be a 'strtted, for Denmark has no doubt thrown herself into the Jr rns of the French. FROM Fi:FNCH PAPERS. VILNIIA. OCT. 12.

Letters from Malta state, that the garrison of that Island is reduced to a very small number; and that the English have been obliged to send all the disposable troops they had to Egypt.

His Excellency the Senator-General Ferino, Go vernor of this city, set out on the lath, at six in tl.e morning, for Paris. At his departure, his Excel lency was saluted by the artillery on the ramparts. The following Decree, issued by His Msjes?y the Emperor, relative to the raising of the state of siege of this city, has been published here : Art. II The eities of Brest and Antwerp shall cease to be in a state of siege,on the 1 Sth of October. The Senator:, Governors o: those two places, shall return to the Senate. IL Our Minister of War shall testify to them our satisfaction at the seal they have dis:.layed on this occasion. To this Decree the Mayor has subjoined the fol lowing Proclamation:— " Gentlemen—His Majesty the Emperor, whose wisdom is as profound as his designs are impenetrable, had judged it ne cessary to put our city in a state of siege. The same motives have caused that manure to cease, and the state of siege of tbe city of Antwerp is raised. To moderate the rigour which was to saint only in the Winn, according to the ever paternal Intentions of His Majesty. he added to all his kindnesses to- wards us, that of coitSding the powers of Governor to a Herr Magistrate, whose character was destined to justify the choice of our August Sovereign. H. is departing, and takes with him not only the most sincere resist, occasioned by his loss, butalso an ample tibute of good wishes, benedictions, and marks of attachment, which we implore him to deposit at the foot of the throne. I had assured his Excellency the Go verner, that my fellow-eitissns would remain peaceable ; it gives me pleasure to acknowledge, that they have not disap pointed my eonidence." MIMIL, OCT. 28. The following Declaration has been published here. and in The adgette cf Koningsherg : " Since the conclusion of the peace of Tilsit, numberless reports have been prnpagated respecting the Prussian Govern omit, which can answer no other end than to tow the seeds of distrust between powers which are reconciled to each other, and to place an unfavourable construction on the intention' of the Court of Prussia. It would be impossible to detect and contradict inch reruns ; but if there are people in bold as to forgo and publish imaginary pieces, the Government cannot any longer keep silence. It was nut long since a convention, pretendol to have been concluded by Pro:IMR and English Commissaries, and promising the Court of London that En glish vessels would he permitted, as formerly, to enter Prussian ports, was circulated in the environs, and probably also in therm towns of the Prussian Monarchy, which are atilt occu pied by the French. This convention, as well av every other article of the kind, is here declared, by command of His Ma jetty the King of Prussia, false and fictitious. To prove that His Manse, hascumpletoly and faithlully executed the 27th article of the treaty of Tilsit, it is only necessary to refer to the orders given by the King, dated lit of September, pub• lished in The Casette of Koningsberg, ant the sewn measures adopted the it3d of this month, and which were renewed to insure the execution of that article. The public ought, there fore, to be sufficiently warned to be upon its guard against similar reports, which may contradict the present declaratios.

According to intelligence from Berlin, of the 17th of Odeber, unexpefted changes have suddenly taken place in the state of things. Authentic in formation had been received there, that the King and Queen of Prussia were to quit Memel on the 16th of ()Bober, to return to the capital of the Prus sian Monarchy. As the Queen is far advanced in her pregnancy, Their Majesties travel by very short stages, so that they can scarcely arrive before the end of November. We are moreover informed, from different quarters, that the arrangements, which still remained to be agreed upon between France and Prussia, have been happily terminated, and that the French troops will soon evacuate Ber lin, and the whole right bank of the Elbe. It does not appear that the Getman troops, which are in the Prussian dominions, will very soon quit them. The Wirtembergers and Bavarians. who had made preparations for their departure, have re ceived counter-orders. His Majesty the Emperor of Austria seems to prolong his visit to Salzburg. He is at present en gaged in inspefting the neighbouring c'.untry.

The Ccu of Lisbon thus appears to have carried oa a co plete system of delusion with respell to this tour. tt y. The farce of the threatened removal of th seat of Government to the Braals, and the depar Lure of the French and Spanish Ambassadors fru Lisbon, was well conceived, and admirably got tt] for the purpose. The removal of so sin cere a f r i en to the Brazilf, held out to England a new and e tensive market for her mattufaftures ; and, attain this °Neel, it was necessary, tl.at whole Portuguese navy should be collefted the Tagus. The denouement is, however, mostsr, tifying: the Portuguese navy has been colleeted ill the Tagus, not to transport the rank and wealth d Lisbon to Smith America, but to prevent its fAllini into the hands of the English ; and the French an Spanish Ministers only left that city in aid of di delusion which the Pal NCI REGLKT meant to rat tise upon the Brit6h Ministers.
