The friends of religion and religious concord, will learn with pleasure, that there has just eppared at Brunswick a new German translation of the New Testament. intended for the use of all Christian communions. It is the wo►k of two Bone. diame4 Chai les and Leander Von Eu ; and is. telligent critics agree. that it is the best them is in the German langusge ; two editions are printed at tie same time, one f..r the Catholics. and the other for the Protestants ; but the former differs from the latter only by some additions taken from the Vul gate I both have been approved of by divines of the respedlise et .rimunion. The two keened Be. nedietiues are now employed in translating the Old Testament on the same principl: s. May they succeed as well as the Minister of Geneva, who. has given us a French version of the Bible. equal:, esteemed by Catholic* and Protestants ! PARIS. OCT. 13. By authentic lists. it appears. that 800 inhabitants of Copenhagen were killed and wounded during the bombardment of that city. Eigi,t bonds cd Danish marine soldiers. principally Hanoverians, hAiNt descried, and joined the Er glish army. The English have re-shipped their heavy artillery, and destroyed t!.e batteries and entrenchments made for the purptse of reducing the town, which now begins to war a pacific appearance. Four private libraries, and three printing-offices, were burned to the ground. A manuscript dic tionary of the Iceland language, which they had commenced to print, at the expense of the Univer sity of Copenhagen, is much regretted. The scarcity that threatened Copenhagen is don! away, by the permission granted by the English to the Danish vessels to sail to and from Norway, and the other ports of the kingdom, with provision, fuel, £.:c. On Lord CatEcart's retiring , to the citadel, he ordered immense palliiadts to be planted along the esplanade, from the Cusoms-house to Great Ling street.

All appearances announce their early departure ; their fleet is formed into two di visions, which are to sail at different times. An epidemic dysentery continues to make great ravages amongst them. They have transformed the beau tiful girdene of the merchant, Froms, into a vast hospital. A merchant in this city, previous to the late Prussian campaign, received in charge four cases, which remained a long time at the Custom house, but which he removed to his own stores a few days before the bombardment. His stores were re duced to ashes, and in the ruins were found a crown and an epaulette of diamonds, worth 160,000 francs. It is hence supposed that these cases contaiued @fiats et great value."—( Morsiteer.) Accounts from Sweden, to the 16th last, state, that at that time the King continued ill ; and that since his snivel at C.arlscrona, that city was put in a state of defence, and that they worked night and day in augmenting the fortifications. Nine sail of the line, and forty transports, had, it is added, sailed on the 16r11, to take the Swedish troops bout the Isle of Rugen.—(lbrd ) k is in contempladon to augment the garrisons in the department of Zealand, in Holland.

It is intended to lay a tax of three florins per cask on all wine of a year old. which merchants keep a year in their cellars.

Three Russian ships of the line, and five frigates, coming from Archangel, passed the Sound on Tuesday and Wednesday last.

This vessel, for weft' hours, endeavoured, by guns of distress, to induce the English Admiral to afford her assistance, but Le refused the compli ment. A beat sae then sent on shore, but the Danes had not a single boat at their disposal. The ship made a great deal of water, and all her guns was thrown over-board, but it is not known whether ate is again aloat, an event which the seamen regard as impossible.

C the 13th, Capt. IVeassisi left Gottenburgh in tl packet for England, but the wins would not pe mit the bitzi‘le to move.

The Russian Admires ship run aground ; and AdmiNd GAUZIER, with wkok of his fleet, was kept within the Catteget, the untarourgble state of the westh::. We received yesterday papers from Alma eel Harnhurgh to the 15th; from Paris to the 16t1.; and Irons Holland to the 20. h instant. They bran; down the intelligence from these several placer to a mach later date than the previous accounts; their contents are interesting, although they do not as-) tain any article of real novi Ity, and cleci?..3 l importance. In the present state of affairs, the North of Europe, of course, furnishes the most interesting iatelligence, in which Denmark makesthesmost prominent figure. With a die share of address, and a delicate ettentinn to the woinded feelings of the Danes, we think it very probable that the English will be able to make a very strorg party in Zealand, without the permanent possession Of %hick, we do maintain, that the aequis'xion of the Danish navy was not worth the price which Ae have paid for it. If; however, after what has passed, any thing could reconcile as to the evacua tion of Zealand, it is the report that the Danish seamen and marines are enlisting in our service. The Danes are good seamen. Their rept& ed in any other light, than as so much taken tram the French navy, are of no v etre to us. Erglanl has already more good :Lips than she can man. The Hamburgh Parrs state, that a treaty of Lance has been entered into by France and Der' mark, stipulating that the former shall immediately supply an army of 40,000 men to assist the Danes to expel the English from Zealand.
