Since the English. in pursuance of the Capitols tine of the 7th meant, have taken possession of the Citadel and the Dock-yards. we have bad an oppor "unity to ascertain the stupendous strength of the numerous works, erated by them around this Capie tel. There remains no doubt, that they would have taken it by assault, had the Capitulation not been concluded. The number of chselling.: , ousep and other buildings destroyed by the bombardments amounts to 305, tor the reception of . die inhabitants whose dwellings have been buena down. the churches of Trinity and St. Andrea ase now preparing. The famous manuissnoey of arms, at Frederick's-work, has obtained a capitulation, according to which, tell the property of tire - Crown riince. in that place, is to be rewraps!, and to tennis under the protec tion of the King of England. The manufactory continues to work as before, but all the arms they le4nufgElure are to be delivered to the English. While most of the Nlagistrates were absent, or shut up in the town, Count Schutin, Mr. de Coninck, Counsellors, and the Rev. Mr. Koine, Rector of Lyngbyn. formed a Committee. to prevent all Violent reguisitiots on the part of the enemy, and watch over the preservation of tranquillity and order in t'.e capital. Lord Cathcart, Commander in Chief of the Ear dish troops, being informed of the plan of the above gentlern-n, wrote them a letter. wherein he ex pressed his entire approbation of their design. The English troops observe. in general, the stoSest dis cipline; Major-General Dawn Linsingen. and Lieutenant-Colonel Omptoda, of the German Le gion, preserve. in particular, the most praise-worthy artier among their troops.

Garnerin, the eelebreei.: aer , nassf. bas addressed the following letter to thet Editors of ono of the Faris Journals:— Gentlenten—kiefore I undertake a second noctur nal aerial voyage, whtch will take place at Tivoli, on Satt.rday, the I.els of beptcroto:r, I ought to give some account of th:.t which I pet formed in the night besween tl.e 4th and sth of A twist last. My balloon was lighted by twenty lamps. Many persons felt some alarm (loin the number of these lights, and their proximity to the hal:ocn, in case a Fdiminution •I the press-:re in the upper regions should oblige ins to let out the ilyclingto gas by the lower orifices. They feared It:St, in ;hi, eau, that gas should find :ts way to the lights, tate fire, and communicate the flame to the balloon. I had fore seen this inconvenience. In :he first place the bal loon, which was the same in which I asseaded at Milan, was only two-thirds filled, that 1 might de fer the emission of the gas as long as passible; in the next, the neatest lamps to the balloon were four teen feet distant from it; ar.d lastly, conduct( rs were placed in such a manner as to convey the gas away io a direction contrary to the lights. Having made these arrange (wrists, I felt no hesi tation to to dcrtake a nocturnal voyage; I tscended : ism 'lied , at e!even at night, under the Russian flag, as a token of peace. Torre was not any dec:ded current in the atmosphere, but only undulations, which tossed me about, I believe a great part of the night. To this it was owing, that I was first carried towards Zt. Cloud, and afterwards brought back over Vin:cnnes, in a d 4 netriCi!'.ly opposite direc tion. Flow favourable this circumstance would have been to the speculations of those who pn te..d to dire& halloons ? I was in the full force of my as cension when the fire-Works of Tivoli were let off; the rockets scarcely seemed to rise from the earth ; Pa•t , with its lamps, arpeirel a plain, studded with :ominous spots. Forty mit rtes atter my de pantile I attained an elevation of 2:00 fathoms; the thermometer fell three degrees to I.w a. My balloon dilated considerably a. it patsed through a cloud, in which the lights lost their brilliaacy, and seemed ready to he extinguished.

" ' kite. diffieultl and the emission of the gas broug'at me to a milder region. At tweiveo clock, I was only six hundred fathoms from the earth. and heard the barking of dogs. A qnarter of an hour afterwards, I lost sight of all the lights on the earth, grew extremely cold, and could no longer perceive tae stars, doubtless on a:- count of th.. clouds . At one in the morning, the cold still continuing. I was carried to a higher elevation ; the hydrogen gas again expanded. About two, I perceived the stars, and saw several meteors dancing about my balloon, but at such a distance, as not to give ma any alarm. At half after two, the day began to dawn with me, and having again descended, I perceived the earth, which I hail not before seen since my de parture. At a quarter ti three, I heard country people speaking, and remarking the islummatrou of my balloon. Haying asked them, they informed Inc that I was over the department of L'Aisne. Ti.e sun gradually approaching, alfde.ed me, at half-pan three, the magnificent spedtacte ci rising above an ocean of clouds. .1 was m.h of his rays aging on the bailotra, the hydrogen gas again expanded ; the atmospheric air became inure rat itizd, utile there was nothing to add to the quan tity of the counterbalancing weight. The cause quence was a new ascension, during which I was tossed about between Rheims and Chalons, and carried at four o'clock to as skeet's-a ul assure than WOO fathom's, there, under a magnificent sky and a respleudent sun, I erliterienced a coki of Las de grees.

(Signed) GASNBRIN. THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTO.EII 9. Some old Dutch papers to the 25th, (for we have been sorcedays in possessitm of those tithe 29th) have brtuglit a Copy of the Armistice concluded between Russia and the Porte,under the mediation of France. It stipulates for the evacuation of Wallachia and Moldavia by the Russian and Turkish troops—the evacuation by the Russians of the island of 'Penedos, and all other places in the Ar:hipelago in their pos session—and the return of the Russian ships of war to their own ports. Envoys are to be appointed to negotiate a Treaty of Peace, and if their ne gociations should fail, hostilities are nut to be resumed before the `2lst of March, 1808. Ibis statement, if tin!, only renders the new policy of Russia still more incomprehensible than pre sir us accounts had made it. Every quality tl at partook of valour, generosity, disinterestedness, and magnanimity, we have been fond to as:ribe to the Emperor At Hasa t but the unfortunate Trta:y of Tilsit has taught us to fear that Russian policy has since that event undergone a great revo- Intim. We base seen that Power which so gat. Lindy fought at Friedland, stcoy •ng at night to snip the dyad, and wrapping itself up in the rpoils of its prostrate friend and Ally, the King of PRUSStA. We have since seen the Emperor of the NORTH refusing the rights of hospitality to the unfortunate Boca arras, and serrendering the Re pablle of the Seven Islands to Fiance. This last sacrifice is an abandonn-re it of the favourite policy of Russia, to acquire a loosing in the Mediterra neaa—an abandonment nom confirmed by the emssion of the Provinces of Moldavia and Wal lachia in the South of Europe. It w is the common language of the Mesiieer in it dis'cri.s against) Russia, to say Russia is a barbarous power. What has she to do within the pale of ci vilized Europe ? She is an alien to it. and ought to he driven back to her native plains, under t1..2 lumen cone " his language of die liroaker we foemerly regarded as an insulting irritating libel. Tie con duff of Russia, in the surrender of all her pierce and influence in tha Mediterranean, su;se stamps it a solemn truth. 'Tit price of this surrender time only can unread. It must be sometning much greater than the miserable district upon the Bug, which 'Russia has carried off as itashare in the plun der and partition of the Prussian Monarchy. How the Emperor of Russia, could be tempted to ;mum ber himself with such worthies spoils, we are at a loss to conceive. It is almost a self-evident truth., that in fie No iii of Europe the Emperor of Russia has more territory than he wants for every nhjed of ambition, and that his power and in fluence can only be increased by bringing itself into immediate cantaft and play with the othrr nations of Europe. Tue continental footing which France still alluhs Russia, in the South of Europe, can give her no weight. It is only by a maritime foot ing in that quarter she could increase her power and influence. Asconnts from St. Petersburgh to the 12th last, represent commerce, in British matufaeture, as en tirely suspended in Russia, and the Exchange fallen to a very low rate. The attack upon, the Dani.h fleet had excited much alarm, and vigorous exer tions were making to put Cronstedt in a state of derence. There were, however, only one ship of 74 guns, and three of 60, in that harbour. The pe,iple spoke out more plainly than Russians had hitherto dared; but though there is a strong party against the French. and the peace of Tilsit is unpopular, these is no likelihood of a renewal of bostiliues with France. A private letter from Co . penhages states, that Admiral G• m 111 se was shot at by a Dane. The shot was fired when the Admiral WAS about to go ost board his boat from the shore, and a seamen who was near him at the ti me wak Med. The wr iser does not mention whether the person who fired the shot was taken into custody. A sour king murder was committed by the Danes upon one of our Itifle Corps, who tell into their hands. They first nailed him to a tree, after which they cut off his ears, and put out his eyes, leaving ;aim in that situation with a scroll fixed to the tree over his head, announcing their determination to treat all of the same corps who shuild fall into their bends in the same manner. We yesterday gave the substance of the contents of the Gottenburgh Mail, strived on Wednesday. We this day give ".nie further came,. A letter from the Main states, that the Porte is to cede to Russia the movinees of Bessarabia, Moldavia, aid Wallachia; to Au.tria, Little Wallachia, Upper Bulgaria, Service, and Bosnia ; and to France, the whole of Albania, the Mores, and the isle of Camila. A squadron will sail irons the Downs this day, with troops to garrison HeligelAnd. The Officers smployed upon that service took leave of Viscount CasTLIIZAGN yesterday. Several vessels from ti , dland have arrived at Dover in the course of this week. They represent Flushing and sus vicinity as eztrerrtely sickly. The Expedition had not sailed from the Cove of Cork, on the 2.1 inst. It is supposed to have been waiting far the arrival of the outward-bound East India Fleet. _ _ _ The 59th and 61st Regiments of Foot have marched into Co:chester barracks; andnn Monday last the Heretordshite marched Irons the above quarters for Iptvrich. The '2d battalioz of the 91st Regiment, now quar tered in Glasgow Barracks, has received its route tor Ayr; it is said they are ordered for Ireland. The brigade of Cavalry, composed of the I`2th and 13th Light Dragoons, is to be reviewed on Sa turday, *the 14th instant, at eleven o'clock, on Hounslow Heath.

The whole of the tallow exported from Saint Pe tessburgis this year is 30,000 calks. Lest year, at same time, the shipments extended to 50.000 casks. Tile deficit does not entirely arise from the uitninu ticn of the quantity tent to England. The decrease in that direttion is near 7000 casks, the remaining deficiency is to he attributed to the total ►tigaation of the Getman and Russian trade. The Wrymegib store ship is to proceed to Malta immed,ateiy, with a supply of naval stores for the ships on that 61411100.
