FROM THE HAMBURGH PAPERS. COPINRAGEN, NOV. 3. It is much wished at Elsineur, that the report that a battery, of 18-pounders, is to be ereeed on the south-side of the town, may be confirmed, as it will then be covered, at least, on that side. On Fharsday afternoon, a boat, with a Flag of Trace, came isto that Road from• an enemy's schooner lying in the vicinity. A beat, with ano ther Flag of Truce, was sent to meet it, and received a letter addressed to the Corantand.ust of Cronen. burgh, of the contents of which we know nothing certain, but it is conjteured that it contained threats with respee to the prizes that are from time to time taken. An answer was sent, and the schooner sailed away into the North Sea. Among other English prisoners of war who have arrived at Viborg, are a Colonel Baron Cochorn, Major Frank, Lieutenants Ralph, Scott, Brigham. 1 Stitt s Captains Charles Dobson, Lambier, Sir Thomas Dobson, Sc. Forty-nine Englishmen, from the ships that have been taken and carried into Elsinenr„ were brought hither yesterday. The Captains lodge with the Trader Morse, but are under a guard. A line of Telegraphs ii now established between this city and Elsineur. The day before ye.terday, between one and two o'clock in the afternoon, a strong cannonade was heard towards the North ; we have now learned that it was occasioned by the celebration of the birth-day of the King of Sweden. Between Copenhagen and Elsineur several at tempts, which, however, have failed, have been made within these few days by the small vessels cal the enemy, to land and plunder the c ountr y . r Several pieces of cannon have been sent from this city ; they are intended for a battery, which is to be elated at Carspen. The General Military Commission appointed for the trial of the persons under arrest, who signed the Capitulation of Copenhagen. consists of Prince Fre. eferick at Hesse, Major-General Count Baudisin, M. Von Binger. The Auditor. General Rosenstadt is Aduary. Ltirsic, m0v.14.

He accused the Prince of Asturias of a compiracy against the King and king- . dom, and formally avowed that the proof had bees obtained by the seizure and examination of his pa pers. The King, nevertheless, hopes that the peace of his dominions will not be disturbed by the events which he has communicated to the faithful subjects composing his Council. This declaration of the King was proclaimed at Madrid, and seat into the provinces; and it already appears that the minds of all have been powerfully struck by what has just passed. According to a private letter, the King's second son will likewise be taken into custody. The preparations for the file to be given on the 27th inst. by the Conservative Senate, in the garde* of its Palace, to the troops of the Imperial Guard, are continued with great ativity. The ordinary scaffold for the fireworks is coveting with new de signs ; the top seems to tepresent the undulations of a fiery sea, which, when faceted in the magni ficent piece of water in front of it, will produce a very fine circa. The great transverse alley is lined with pyramids and columns, which promise a bril liant illumination. At either end is eretted an oc tagonal pavilion, in which, we are informed, that there will be tables laid out in such a manner, as to resemble the repasts which were sometimes given to soldiers of old, so far snrpassed by our modern French heroes. Farther off, an immense ball-room, of an oblong square form, is construding ; each front, ornamented with gilded columns, support ing a magnificent entablature, will present a ma testle peristyle, the etre& of which will be doubled by' . the illumination. Alt the %thee pans of the garden will be lighted with equal taste and ele gance. Nor. 17. It was not till the list of Oftober, that Genital Junot quitted Bayonne.

The Council of War established at Copenhagen. under the Presidency of Prince Frederick of Hesse, has already begun sitting. General Nyman, Governor of Copenhagen, Rear-Admiral Letken, Adjutant-General Kirehnof, and Colonel Bielfeld, Chief of Artillery, have already been provisorily put under civil arrest. MADRID, NOV. 5. This day the ring has addressed the following decree to the President of the Council of Castile : " The voice of nature unnerves the arm of venge ance ; and, since inconsideration calls for pity, a tender father cannot refuse it. My son has al ready revealed the authors of the horrible plan, which miscreants had induced rim tomeditate. Hiss repentance and remorse have dittated the following appeals, which he has addressed to me:— . Strand my Father—l have rendered myself culpable in be. ing wanting to your Majesty. I have faded in my duty to my King and my Father j but I repeat, and I promise your Ma jetty the most humble obedience. 1 ought to hate done no thing without the consent of your Majesty, but I have been surprised in an unguarded moment, I have denounced the guilty, and I play your Majesty to pardon me, and to permit your grateful son to kiss your feet. . .

With the greatest subinionon I also ask your pardon, for my great obstinacy in denying the truth to you the other evening. On this account I beg your Majesty, from the bottom of my heart, to deign to interpose your mediation with my father, that he would grant perms , Nor to hisgrateful son to kiss the feel of His Majesty. Faititisat.ls.. San Lorenzo, Not. 5, 1857. In consequence of these letters, and at the prayer of`the Queen, my well-beloved spouse, I pardon my son, and he shall return to my favour, when his demeanour shall give me proofs of true amendment in hi. coedit& I also order that the same Judges who have investigated this matter since its commencement, continue their inquiries, and to add other colleagues, if they think it necessary. I also enjoin, that when the inquiry shall be termi nated, they submit to sue the sentence, which must be conformable to law, to the importance of the crimes, and to the quality of those who have com mitted them. They most take for their basis, in drawing up the beads of accusations, the answers given by the Prince in the examination he has un dergone, and which are signed by his own hand, a. well as the papers written with his own hand, which were seized in his cabinet. Their decision shall be communicated to my Councils and my Tribunals, and shall be circulated among my peo ple, tat they may acknowledge my pity said my justice, and to assuage the afilidioa into which they were thrown by my first decree, for they saw in it the danger of their Sovereign and their Father, who loves them as his own children, and is beloved in return.

" By his Royal decree of the 50th °Caber last, His Majesty deigned to make known to the Council, that his Royal Person was, thanks to the assistance of God, delivered from the catastrophe which threatened it. On this subjed, the Council pro posed to His Majesty to grant permission, that all ranks in the kingdom give thanks for this goodness to the Most High, by a solemn festival. His Ma jesty having consented to the wish of his Council, has appointed this day for its execution, and has decreed that you give the necessary orders that similar festivals take place in your chief city and its dependencies. I now communicate to you the Order in Council for its regular execution ; and in order that you may make it known to the Arch bishops, Bishops, Seculars, and Regulars of the Holy Church, desiring you to acknowledge the se ceipt of the present decree.

Two coaches and six, which were accompanied by another carriage, and preceded by two comics. arrived at five o'clock, in the evening of yesterday, in this tows, and stopped at the Hotel de la Cloche. They set out abuut nine, taking the toad towards Geneva. It was at first thought that they belong- ed to the suite of their Majesties the King and Queen of Westphalia.

Within these few days a convivial and ti - aternal meeting of French and American seamen took place in the road of Cherbourg. Captain Franklin Read, Commander ef the MIMIC= schooner Re volt, charged with conveying to France an Envoy frem the United States, went with his officers on board the French corvette Li Crgne,Capt.Trobiant. Thedeek of the corvette was transformed into a ban gnetting-room, the ceiling of which was composed of canvas, studded with stars. The sides of the room were decorated with the American and French hags conjoined. At one end was seen the bust of Hi, Majesty the Emperor and King; and at the other, a representation of the President of the United States. The first toast was given on this occasion by the French Captains 6 , 10 Jefferson— May the wise President of the United States long cherish, for the love of his country, the love of the French name." The American Cap tain then rose, and all the guests, by a natural presentiment, imitated his example; Com rades," said be, "to His Majesty the Emperor and King; May his happy genius soon avenge the liberty of the seas, and make all nations one single family l" Another of the American officers gave— " To the French seamen, with whom we will make common cause, if the common enemy do not quickly make amends for his injustice and vio lence." • yy. • • THE BRITISH PRESs.
