Intelligence has been, at length, received from Admiral GAMDIIII. Letters, in the hand-writing of the gallant Admiral, were received Lot night, and forwarded to Mr. Pons. 'they were, we understand, conveyed by tha same vessel that, has brought two Gottenburgh Mails, which ar rived last night, with Lette• and Papers to the 22d last, and, of course, do not contain later intel ligence. The Guttenburgh Papers state, that the English landed at six o'clock on the morning of the ltith, at a small bay, called Wisbech, between Eki- near and Copenhagen ; that a great firing was heard until the evening of Monday the 17th ; and that on t! :e 18th a Courier arrived at Helsingborg with intelligence that Copenhagen had surrendered. Ac counts, however, from Gottenburgh of the Est. announce the arrival of a Courier from Maimoe, with aJvices that Copenhagen still helJ out on the 19th. The following is the intelligence brought by the GOTTENBURGH MAILS. OOTTCNSUILO, •VO. 15. By acconnts received this moniing from Copes hagen, we le:ten, that the English fleet has formed a line of cireumvallation round the island of Zealand, and the boats were out ready to land the troops. All was, however, quiet until Tuesday last, when the Crown Prince dirlived from Holstein, and pub= lished a Proclamation, ordering every passible re:, instance to be made ; but this could not be great, as there were only between two and three thousand troops in Copenitagen. He also sent the same even ing to Elsineur, and gave similar orders. The English Minister, Mr. Garlike, is gone on a Mission to Nient.l, and his successor, Mr. Taylor, is on board the feet.

By virtue of a separate article of the Military Conventica concluded in London, the 17th June. of this year, touching the sending of the German Le gion to this quarter, His Britannic Majesty express ed, some days lig", through his Minister, Mr. Piericpoint, his wish, that the above troops should return. His Royal Majesy gave, in consequence thereof, the necessary orders for that purpose ; and the greatest part of those who were in the isle of Bogen have already been embarked on board the tleet of transports, which is lying off Perth.

All poet in Swedidt Pomerania, occupied by the French troops, are closely blockaded by §wediSh ships of war. A French Officer arrived,on the lath inst. in the mornii.g, at out advanced post, near Triebsee, and declared to the Com manding Officer of the eltareurs, that if he continued to tire on their workmen, he should order 500 tirailleurs to 1111 , h4 1111 our videttes„ and all the artilicers un duty in our Wineries. The same day, an ()dicer was sent in the evening t•r the enemy's advanced post, to declare, that unless they withdrew tt.e i : workmen, they should all be ►hot. The enemy demand . cd a quarter of an hour's time for withdrawing his workmen, which was granted, and they were all withdrawn, which proves that our fire of the preceding day had done great execution. At half past eight o'clock, 144 night, a French Offirmr al_ rived at our advanced post, in front of the entrenchment of riankro, and declared, that unless the c_mtioinelr hem the (unrest was immediately discontinued, the bontinirdmerit nt Cie In:tress sliou:d be commenced without the least delay. lla to. reined for answer, that the enemy was at liberty to rev:late his fire by that of the fortrea, and to bombard or not., At half past pine o'clock the santr niplst, tadieral nut's kid-du-camp advanced towards nur ch:on of vidattes, repeated the d,clar.ition, and received the .ame aiarer.

(Jensen. •-(Osltenshsry Ga:arts 41f 4ng. Is.) We have received New York Papers to the 91st July, from which we have made copious meets. The intended suspension of the march of some Militia to 1-rarripton, which was construed into a pacific system, has not taken place, and almost leery article in the Newspapers breathes an hostile spirit against this country. Even a letter sefnr with a car:ciliatory view, by Mr. EkSllllll to our Squadron, to caution it against . coming within the territorial Jurisdiftion of the United States, is m ide a pretext fur introducing angry cara versation, and inflaming the public mind against our Navy. An order has been sent to the Mediterranean to recall the American squadron, as well perbap. for the slcience of its own coast, as to prevent its f..lliilg into the hands of the Engl.sh iu case of a rupture. It appears certain that a small patty, cons:sting of two English Midshipmen, and two tailors, who went on shine near Hampton, have been made prisoners by the Americans. The Co mmodore of our squadron lying oil' the coast &is de clared his determination, in cons. qiience,, to capture every vessel going out or in, until the English prison ers were restored.. We , have copied some further minas from these Papers, respetting the 'Meander. standing at Canton between tie Chinese and the British Factory at that place. The East India intel ligence, communicated by the New York Papers, adds, that, in consequence of a scarcity of grain, oc casioned at Calcutta by the failure of the periodical rams, an order had been issued by the Governor Ge neral in Council, granting permission to rtairrali, particularly Americans, to impost grain under the I license of the British Government. 'fbe Americans are not sati.fieJ with being, at they are at present, the principal carriers between Europe and their own country, including the West Indies. Thcy are very desirous also of being the carriers of is Last India trade. Some apprehensions, generally considered with out foundation, are entertained with respell to the homeward-hound Fleet. Our Ports mouth letter of the 21st last, announcing the arrival of the homew.ird-bnund West-India Fleet, under escort of the bl, plant, says, „ Passengers were landed this morning from the two headmost ships (the Lord Koh' and the Lady Eranels), who teport that the fleet of i;ast lndiamen, /sc. last from St. Helena, are about twenty leagues astern.—Wind S. West." And our Dover letter, of the 24th, announcing the arrival of the same fleet off that place, adds, s the Eastilndir Fleet are expelled to-morrow.—Wind South West." The East-India Fleet, however, has not yet arrived; and yet, if the report of the pas sengers landed at Portsmouth, so far back as the ' 21st last, be correet, it must have arrived at that time in the Channel.—ln such case, the wind having been almost uniformly fair for a passage up Chan nel, the nan-arrival of the Fleet has naturally ex cited some anxiety.—lt has been rumoured that the Rochfort Squadron had fallen in with and taken none sail of them ; but this report could not be traced to any authentic source.—Against this report, it is also to be observed, that, accordTg to the latest information from our cruisers, the force in Rochfort consisted only of five ships of the line, and the Ca- cotta, of which the format state, and the Calcutta' Should any hostile force East-India Fleet, it is •mall French so"- line, a frigate, and schooner, they accoony pf two ,ships of the Cape Cl?ar on the 2.3 th which Admiral GA Itossa the Channel Fleet, as stated yesterday.
