The pilot ran the vessel •on the Horse-shoe,• where she went to pieces.

A Mall from Heligoland arrived this morning, bringing Hamburgh Papers to the 2d instant, and an account of the possession of that city by the French, under.the Prince of EcKMUHL, as Governor, who foundin its Marine arsenal 150 pieces of cannon, and 80 upon the ramparts.. Lientenant-General VAR* 'IME renewed 35 battalions, the following morn ing (amounting perhaps to 30,000 men), when, after providing a sufficient number,of troops for the defencrof the place, the remainder filed off towards Bqitzenberg. From this latter place it seems pro bable' that thli corps will subdivide, a part go ing to Nensladt, and the rest to Lenzen, there to remain as a watch upon the further movement of the CROWN PRINCE, shoold he move from Stralsund. On this point, however, scarcely • two politicians think alike. Prince BERNADOTTE'S parentage has been differently given by different biographers, hut unless he does something of a marked character as deserving the money which our Alinisters have, in their genero :s end good natures, kindly forced upon him, we shall not be surprised if it be said that his father was a stigit-of-hand-man! At all events, we seriously wish him to take care (if he really means us fairly and honestly) that the French do not make a ball of him, and contrive to euge:t- him" into one of Narocuoses conjuring cups. We irm,t, that whenever he shall have reached Rus e Fask r ,or even Grimm, that he will not hurry from those places, but have a good look out for his ci dsciant country folks, and not allow himself to be •sarried, name voleas, to the capital of his birth. pieoiV; where the satirical Parisians might be apt to week their jokes on him. But, to be serious, we are - • ashamed of this crooked policy ; we think that a straight for ward way of acting would have been better. Our Ministers ought to have asked the Danes what would induce them to forget the injuries we had done them, and restore the two countries to their ancient and natural intercourse and friendship. What could par thoughtless rulers espect from a connexion, with a man like the CROWN PRINCE,' so raised as he had i been by our great e n e m y, an d so a b use d as h e h a d been by our very friends !! Act whatever part he would, he could not end it with eclat. He must be either ii-i_lrateful or unfaithful. Fye upon such , Statesmen asAill our Cabinet at present. With respcst to liambur4i4-4 gives Jo,4ordial sati•fartion to see, as the unhappy t case stands, that the work s:f vengeance, which it was supposed would romtreoCe on the French re-possessing the city, ii nut ever' Token of, We expressed our hOpes that the-fearful on that head would be pleasingly disap. pointed. We I.i•ve reason to believe that the hive. .itcrerry and venom o filch have been infused into this creel war, are nearly exhausted. We could tell our Beadcrs why, if necessary. No doubt, a great mar) of the persons who had rendered themselves olwrixinusi to the French retired first to Al. omi t and then further into - the interior. Many of them sae hod have joined the Swedes at Stralsund, and pours d their lamentations and their fears into the it()) al eg rs of the FrancopSwedish end British Princes. I'b, chief alteration the town'of Hamburgh has un gone consists in the change of the civic arms,and the title of their Newspaper ] unless we mention the tone and terrour of the public sentiments of its Burgomas ters, Ac, who all speak of the superior pleasure they derive from the society of so highly polished a people es the French, over the company of 'Trude and boorish rave like that of the Sifierian!: Now, our Ministers a r o thous to make the people, whom they have bad She temerity to govern, feel the !facts of their, haughty behaviour to Count Okartrroars.

At four in the afternoon their EX cellencies Marilard Prince ni Eckuhl, Gofer*, and TAeutenant-General Vantlaming, reviewed 35 batti.. ... ~. • lions of French infantry. .. - The inhabitants have not recovered ,from their astonishment. It would be difficult to determine . 1 which surp rised them the most, the fine appearance .of these troops, or their number. There was in effect a greakdifference bbtween what they saw, and whit was related to them, of the physical and numerical weakness of the French battalions. We will imme diately give- some details,- respecting the manners, habits, and' arts of the adventurers who have just-left us. Towns, which, like us, have had the miskitirre to possess these liberators of nations knoi how dearly it cost them. The Russians had only time to save their persons, and were liappily not able to fol low their custom of destruction and fire. We found 150.cannen ih the marine arsenal ; stud nearly 80 upon the ramparts. All the establishments are in the best state. The works constructed to make Hamburgh a place d'armee, are ♦ery•. considerable. AU military men are astonished at them, and now consider tiamburgh as a strong place. . . By the decision Of his Excellency Marshal Prince Ecktuuhl, Governor General, it is ordered to every inhabittit of llamburgh to bring, without the least delay, to the general direction of police, every libel, .pamphlet, foreign or not authorised gazettes, cari catures, portraits. pieces in verse, &c. &c. published or introduced since the 24th of February,' of the current year. .

Every stranger residing in Hamburgh, is ordered to present himself within 24 'Awn at the. General Direction of Police, for the purpose of legitimising himself, and obtaining permission, should there be reason, for sojourning. Every housekeepir, lodger, tavern-keeper, is for bidden to afford any asylum to a stranger, who has not received permission to remain at Hamburgh.

It appears by letters' of a recent date from the i British headquarters in Spain, that -the army will .! proceed immediately to Burgos by the Benevento road. The French are fortifying all the towns in that direction which are tenable. Lord WE LLIN O. fON . has been for some time filling up the vacancies in the British regiments with Spanish recruits, who are paid and clothed in the same manner as British troops. By these means his Lordship has completed the regiments without depending on reinforcements from England.
