During that time his Lordship was joined by Mr. GARLIKR, our bite Minister ut Co penhagen ; who is Mated in the foreign prams to have been captured on board the Pauline, by the Danes., and curried into Copenhagen, where he was liberated by the CROWN PRI NCR, and sent to Sweden, to cual,le hint to proses cute his journey home, and also by Mr. STiw ♦RT and Mr. VIOL On the 301 instant, they set sail for Engtund, and landed on Saturday lad, at Yarmouth, from whence they proceeded directly to town.

Lord HUTCHINSON, a n d suite, sailed on the same day, the 2d January, from Gotten burgh, on hoard the Belette'gurt-brig, of le guns, Capt. SA IS VCRS, and his arrival is hourly expected. The vessel in which Lord G. L.

They experienced all the fury of the Bales. and were unfortunately close to the French coast when they commenced. Most of the trans ports are da►nagerl. Those which are at Ports mouth have reeeived orders to re-asseiuhle at Fal mouth, the first fair wind. The squadron which sailed from Portsmouth on the Bth ult. with sealed orders, under the com mand of Captain IiALKETT, joined Sir SIDNEY SMITH, Off the Tagus, in ewer days from St. Helen's.

Dispatches were received on Saturday from I letigoland, brought to Yarmouth by a gun-brig, which left that Ishuul on the 19th last. A t lentle- man from Hamburgh came passenger in her, from which city he effected his escape, in company with a Clerk belonging to a mercantile house iu London, charged with bills containing remittances to a considerable amount. For several days they eluded all pursuit, but at length the Clerk was taken and sent off to Paris, and the other was conveyed in a bout to Heligoland. All the banks of the river Weser were lined with French troops, which had just replaced the Dutch troops sta tioned there. A Swedish vesgrl and an American brig, Capt. Roarars, were taken in the Weser by the French, on the toth December. An English brig was also takeh in the River Yude. A vessel named the Indelatigable, of London, Capt. JOHN EL.n►:a, has probably been lost near I leligoland ; a boat's stern, with these names, has been picked up, with a number of pieces of wreck, and a good deal of 1004 e tobacco. We have received Paris Papers from the 22d, to the 24th last. It is not easy to decide upon the character of their contents. Some may consider them pacific, others, the reverse. Among the former will be those who estimate the angry notes of the Munitesr by the ravings of some of the Treasury Journals of London. BONAPARTE had not retunied to Paris at the date of them papers, but he wits hourly expected. We are at length favo u red with a partial account of what he has done in his visit to Italy.

The Orders of Council of the 11th November are inveighed against with the greatest bitterness: and in acoinment upon a paragraph relative to an Austrian and Russian Mediation, the Moltitar says, that the Emperor of AUSTRIA demanded tut explanation from us with respect to our conduct towards Denmark, and towards the Trade and Flags of the continental powers, and that we re plied to this dunaud by the Decrees of the 11th November. There are now eight Mails due from Gotten hnrgb.—We cannot attribute this sneer of Patt's to any other circninstsince than the seve rity of the weather, which doubtless has been very great in the Baltic for some weeks past. Mr. Itosmursox.raliima's Measenger, was sent off last evening, from Downing-street, w ith dispatches for ilis MAJESTY, at Windsor. A Paper of yesterday says, " Last Tuesday, two persons, supposed to be Agents or Emissaries of France were brought to Dublin from Dragheds, in cust ody of two of the Kt u's Messengers. They were committed to the Tower in the Loser Castle Yard. They are the only persons that have been confined in that place for several years.
