LON DON, WEDNESDAY, Sarramsza 9. rania. We have received Petit Papers to the 29th last, and Ducal' to the 4th instant. They contain the Addresses of the Legislative Body and Tribunate to Bow AAAAA E ; —the periodical Exposition of the State of the French Empire ; —Confirmation of the surrender of Stralsund :—Turkish account of the defeat of the Tin kish fleet and army by the Rus sians t—t!ie Danish Declaration against England ; and other inteicsting particulars respeding the Expedition to the Baltic, including the cap ture of Heligoland, &c. The extent of our ex ceeds from the French and Dutch papers has not lett us room for many observations. In the Ad dress of the Legislative Body, Bos•eARTI is styled " not so much the Conqueror, as the Pacificator of Europe." It alludes to the in terview on the Niemen, between him and the Em peror of Russia.-" when," it says " I NO boats re ceived two Emperors, and with them the future des tiny of the woad, and the two greatest Savereigns on earth met each other upon a raft." So far honourable mention is made of the Emperor of RUSSIA. but in the Exposition of the state of the na tion we find a different language. Here BONA• e•are, speaking for himself, assumes a higher tone. Ile affeds nothing less than universal em pire. " Paris, corresponding with its destina tion, must become the metropolis of the world." The woil.l is no longer to be divided between the Emorror of the North Emperar of the West As it has but one sun, so aisaa it have but one Emperor and accordingly &taunting that Russia and Tut key are now consolidated ei'th. and become integral parts of, France, ne boasts that "the arms of France have been carried to the farthest extremities of Europe, its halao.ce extended herald the Bosphorus, and into t::e centre of the c .ntinent of Asia." France bei-o desCribed as the mistress of the world, of cc a is ner external relatioas vanish from the eye. id toe Exposition is principally confined to her in nal affairs. lie desires "that in future there shall b ne setts among the learned ; that there shall no longer be any pieties' parties in the state. He wishes that criticism should maintain resped ford e ceney, in order to be useful ; and that men who are called to the sublime office of enlightening and im proving the community, should despite idieflatteep." He does not wish, it scents, that France should, like England, be pitied for its liberty of the press, and freedom of debate. He would reserve all that, as well as all 6 6 idle flattery," for himself, and share none with his " great and good people." There are also one or two other passages, which attrad notice by their falsehood. It charges England with having 6' precipitated Prussia i..to the late war, contrary to the judgment of the Ministers, and very possibly against the wishes of the King ;" whereas it is notorious that Prussia, far from being under the influence of England at the time, was aiding hostilely against her ; and, as to the boast of 14 ships on the stocks at Antwerp, it has been recently ascertained, that there are only eight in that harbour, of which five are building. The latest accounts in these Papers, from Den mark, are dated Kid, the Stith, and bring down the events at Copenhagen only to the 18th. They state, that three regiments have been thrown into Zealand from Holstein, and a hope, that farther re. lief may be received from the island of Fuhnen, to which the passage from Jutland remains still open. The Militia, in Zealand. is said to con sist of nineteen battalions, and Copenhagen provided with privisions for six months. They add, that the garrison made a sortie, and burned the suburb of NVesterbrug, ender cover of which the English had begun ta throw op works, in which the lea of the Danes was three killed, and twenty-two wounded ; of the English, fifty killed, and fifty .rounded. We know, however, from /Urn :al Gs ostea's dispatches, that this is an -xaggeratton. The Danish Declaration states, I that tha demand made by England was a violation of the saw of nations, which left Denmark no choice but a war, to else alliance with England. It therefute appeals to the Cabinets of Europe, whose Nab. old alliancesmay have been the ground of this proceeding by England; and Bora A it A ere answering this a?peal, has promised that Denmark shall want neither men nor money. Men he will certainly give. fie will snatch his troops into Holoein, and take possco:on of that Duchy. The part of his promise respeding the money, he will, probably, find convenient to forget. The Declaration, however, does not assert that the attempts apprehended by England were not in contemplation. It inetely states that England had no proof, but afted upon a mare a umour. We see no reason to doubt the account of the viitories of the Russians over the T.irLs It is from Constantinople; but these Tido. ries are now of no value to Russia. Stralsund sue. rendered at discretion. There was no cap:tolation. The Km* had previously withdrawn with the garrison.

The reports if the surrerlizr of Copenhagen. which we noticed yesterlty. rernsin without coMitmation. The Prince •r fraries Packet, Captain TODD, arrived ca Saturday at Falmouth, in 13 days from Usbon, with mails and dispatches. The latter were brought by a Portuguese Messenger to the Portal:Guess AMBASSADOR. The private accounts, received by the mails, state, that the Spaniards have made a demand of the Portuguese Government of the immediate equipment of 10 sail of the line, three of which were getting ready when tir^ packet s sited. This demand has no doubt been made by Spain, at the instigation of France. and furnishes a fresh instance of the perfidy of BONA, ARTS, who extorts large stun; from Puttngal, as the price of his forbearance, and thus cintrives to rob her of the purchase, by making Spain the agent of his hostility. The Portuguese Government, in com pliance with this demand, had sent orders to the arsenal, at Lisbon, to repair and equip the follow ing vessels SIII,II 01 TNt LINt. FRIS4TLS.

Three of the above are very much out of repair ; and, in the present mi.erable state of the Portuguese arsenals, it will require many moir.hs before these vessels e he equipped and ready for sea.

We have received Calcutta and other East India papers to the Ist of February last, from which we have made some extrads. The Booriam Courier of the sth January states. in addition to last night's G,,ertte account of the capture of the French privateer Leo Dome Swore, that her Captain and 32 of her men were brought in prisoners, and the remainder dialed their escape to the Island of Cheduba, where they were protected by the Rajah. Monday, the Duke of Yone transatted business with His MAJLSTY, and laid before him the state of the Army last month.

His Royal Highness held a public day. and gave audiences to a number of military ofacers.—Among them were Lotd Liats, upon his Tatum from India. The ships General Stuart, Rooeas, and Devartes, AUDI:.

This Nobleman has at last opened his elegant private Theatre to his friends. The LORD CU sR. ceLLon, Lord MANN gas, after his close attend43te to business, has arrived at Mountjny Park. to me t e his relations; the Marquis of A e eaeon“ and hi; sons, the Countess of KILNANNT o and Lady ELIRASETR WCLINTOCK, are also there. His Lordship opened the entertainment with a prologue, alluding to the good effeas produced by dramatic representations to mend the mann:rt. We are sure his Lordship did not allude to the worthy Loan CHAPGRELOR, nor take the hint from the Dublin audience, on a eight when his Noble Relative, the late Duke of Rut. LAMA, then Lnrd Lieutenant of Ireland, did net come in good time, who assailed him on his en. trance, alluding to his name, with " Bad MR. sees t o ooli"—.. Mend yore snanners."—These nit:rim they continued to repeat until his departure. When his Grace asked Mr. DALY, the Manager, how much too late he had been ?" he was an swered-.." one hour r on which the Duke observed, " And three hours have been spent in abusing me— So. I wish you a good night ;" and lie never en tered the Theatre afterwards. The first night's performances, at Moun•joy Park, were The Ness Shim and The Peer aolderr. The Viscous*, as at the Kilkenny Theatricals, performed the Dike, and displayed the most splendid dresses. The female performers were from the Dublin Theatre. Oa the second night, The Earl cf 7t araia. and a grand Ballet of Aaten, under the direaion of Mr CliAlife TOM. who displayed all his Ecreulean feats, and attitudinarian graces, on the occasion. This is the gentleman who personates Ursoa at the fashion. ahlo masquerades, and whose comae* is so critically just, that while he has charmed some ladies so much as to gain the appellation of the Irish /Monis, he has nearly terrified others out of their senses. Too much praise cannot be given to the Noble Host. who spends amongst his tenantry the money their industry has supplied ; and he is one. we hope, of the many Irish Nslslemen, who feel delight in seeing their tenants and neighbours as happy as themselves. Were this feeling central among the landed interest of Ireland, there would belittle occasion for Ai% of Parliament to prevent lasurreSion, Treason, and Rebellion. Yesterday morning.
