The accounts by the Gwen burgh Mail state, that three or four of the Deni.!‘ men of wax ware ready to leave Copenhagen, under English colours. The number of inhabitants killed in that capital during the siege is estimated AI 6000. Se veral merchants have stopped payment, and the dis tress in the city is so great, that Lord CATHCART would not suffer even an English General Olzer to enter it, lest his presence should add to the irritation. The report of General rev slam having incurred the displeasure of the inhabitants, is repeated ; and it is added, that Roe sPAex had offered a large , .T 1 rf money for the possession of the Danish fleet. in attic', from Constantinople, dated 9th of Lugust, in the Ilamburgh Papers, announces the arrival of Admiral COLLINGS/MOWS Rev, with Sir Alveoli PAGET on board. The latter had made a proposition for an amicable adjustment with the Porte. The occupation of Egypt by the English, natal a peace between France and England, is said to be one of the terms demanded. The Se. Peters- Aidrel Court Gazette contains General !Alen scsor's account of the operations of the Russian army upon the Dnieper. General Bummers, is expected at 51. Petersburgh, to assist at a military conference. Count Has se can r, Ambassador Extraordinary from the Parsec Parts ATC to the King of BAVARIA, had his first audience of that King on the 70th ult. and delivered his credentials. The Emperor Feaacts, it is said, intends to be crowned King of AUSTRIA in November. A letter from an Officer on the Stag of our army in EKpt, dated Alexandria, June 27, says,—" I:te recent :initials of troops from Sicily, has rendered cur situation here perfeSly secure ; the gartison is healthy, and better supplied from the interior than when 1 last wrote. The enemy have retired from am neighbourhood, and our communication with the country beyond Damanhour is generally open. The Turks, in cons,:quence of their successes at Ro setta, are statd to have failed in some of their en gagements with the Beys ; and the latter are again in arms. The nephew of Osman Bey has been here some days, and I undetstand is the bearer of as. suranccs of assistance from his ctaintrymen ; his visit, it is added, has further for its obje,l, the ar rangement of a plan of co-operation. We have EtteJ out al native vessel., which have essenti ally contributed to our supply of provisions." We have received New York papers of the 1•1 th alt. being several days later thaw thuse which pre viously reached tows. The Court met at Richmond, for the trial of Ccicnel Ikea, on the sth of August ; but several witnesses not having arrived, it adj•wrned till the 7th. That Gentleman has been released from prison, under a guard of six men, for the convenience of eommunication with his Counsel. A bill for WO treason had been found against a Mr. Smir ii, of New York, and he 1143 been sent to Richmond. The fortification of the Na►rows, at New York, it has been estimated, will cost a million and a balf of dollars ; this place. it is said, will then be as strong as any in the world, and whl afford com plete protection to the city. Sonte of the Papers of yesterday questioned the authenticity of His MAJZSTY'S Declaration upon the subject of the Danish Expedition, in conse. quence of its not having appeared in Th Gazette of Saturday night. The public. however, may rest assured, that it is an authentic document, and that it is merely owing to some official mistake or Le some of the subordinate Clerks in office, . did not appear in The Ga7eve.

In her first scene with rattle, the htwse was in continued bursts of laughter; nor was her lore interview with Bee less comic. The app!ause was unbounded. Mr. BA lINIcTZ lel Bea Glicphyrd all the characteristic pleatantry, feeling, and ingeniousness of the British sailor. Miss Ms c•r. was lively and interesting in Arsgaire. and Mr. EL LISTON an excellent rehetiee. Indeed the whole play was admirably supported. and went off with great spirit. Such is the attrattion of Mrs. Jos DAN, that the curtain rose to one of the tuile,t houses eve, witnsesed in any season of the year. Yesterday morning, His Mart , r, sr, Princesses Au river A, SOPMI A, and Amiss's, attended by Lady THY Nutt. &e. went to St. George's Chapel, Wind sor, and heard a sermon by the Rev.

Sir BROGIC WAT4OII was much the same on Sa turday as the preceding day. No farther account was received in town last night. Lord Aarnua Somenset arrived in town, last night, from a visit to Mr. Fassows, at his seat in Suffolk. His Lordship will leave town, this day. for Wales. The Marquis of floarczy has taken the house in Grosvenor-square, lately occupied by his mother the Duchess of Connor.. Mr. Iit•HANS, and Signora Sroa ace, are enjoy. in g the fresh breezes, at Margate , preparatory to roll-call, at Old Drury. Count Za eucc str, whose unfortunate adven ture in a balloon is well remembered, has given no tice in Bologna, that he will soon undertake a new aerial expedition. It is said, that neither Kett r nor Jewett are to be included in the new arrangements at the Opera- House. This is not likely to benefit the concern, as the former was the best Stage Manager the Theatre has had for many years, and the latter as Tree. serer, Was always proved an honourable and unity steward. - - - - A misunderstanding, it is said, exists between Mr. MIJNOCN and the Manager of Covent-garden Thea tre, ails' as his articles expire with th. present sea son, it is supposed be will transfer his labours to Drury-lane. The dispute between Mr.,Tav La a and Mr. Wa- TFAII, (the representative of the late Mr. Cont.'s), with respea to the fisture management of the Opera- House, is referred to the arbitration of Mr. Get. Nam and Mr. D'Ecortxxs, and it is imagined that their differences will be adjusted without an appeal to the Court of Chancery. Lady Nairn gave a grand dinrer, yesterday, at her house in Grosvenor-square, to t.e Ciiuntess Dowager of Exam, Miss Slut*, and the Honourable Pevas, Rosear, and W11.1.44'114 b ; and to morrow morning, at six o'clock, Lady Pulses and the Honourable Miss Dauisssono arid Suite, will leave town for Edinburgh, whete the nuptials of Davisasosa and Mr. IksNuLL uili be cele brated with the greatest spl-,.d ur. n•fr. Br mess 1. and Suite will hallow the L.Jies ou %Willa:Way morning, HELIGOLAND. A letter, recently received from Heligoland, gives a miserable description of the inhabitants of that little island, who, at the time of the surrender, were in a state bordering upon starvation; and yet, ob serves tile writer, you cannw• go into the poorest house in the place without seeing several sets of real china and down beds. At the time of its surren der, the island contained thirty-two pieces of can non, besides field-pieces and mortars, with a large stock of ammunition. One of our gun-brigs was wrecked off the island at the time of its surrender, and the Wanderer sloop had nearly shared a similar fate, as she struck on the same rock, and lost her false keel. The writer describes this island, which is only three miles in circumference, to be by nature as strong as Gibraltar. livery part of it is fifteen hundred fret perpendi..ular above the surface of the SeA, the only entrance being by a flight of steps, two hundred and three in number. At the time of it. capture, there were on the steps three large ehe- Vaill 11, frte, and two gates, and pointing on them were three six pounders; so that the capture of this little spot would have been attended with much bloodshed had any defence been made. The nuns her of inhabitants at Heligoland is about tnree thousand ; every article is double the price it is in k....gland, and there is such a scarcity of provisions on the island, that it supplies are not immediately sent horn this country, the people will be reduced to a state of famine. There is a curious custom prevalent at Heligoland z when two persons wish to marry, they cannot do so without scliciing the permission of the Governor, otherwise the lon.r .a would not be valid. Toe late Governor was about to sail for the Contilier.t, when the letter we have alluded to came away ; in consequence of which he had applications from several hymeneal specu lators. On Saturday, Mr. Came arrived from Sierra Leonne, with Divaciles from the Govaasoa, to Al inkier,. The Conrurd, BALL, from St. Übes, for New found Lind, foundered at sea ; crew s.sv. d. The iforg, AT HOL L, from M , nte Video, for Vir ginia. is lust on the coast of Br az:l. 'fhe S.rprize, . from St. Thomas's, for the Clyde, sprung a-leak on the I I th of August. and was obliged to bear away for B:rnsuda, in com pany with a frigate, assisted the fleet through the passage. The Indiotry, Kilter, from London, for Qaelsee, was spike with on the 17th of Auguston the flanks of Newfoundland. Iteport states, that the definitive answer 01 Go vernment has been giv.n to Mr. Moiratar, on the siihjett of the differences with America; and that it espies's.* our determinalion not to relax, in the smallest degree, from the niaritime code and Laval rights, as they exist th.s moment. The right of search is maintained, as it respeas seamen as well as goods, and no exception are to be made in the co* hi ships of war. A demand is also made of the Americsn Government for an immediate repeal of the Non-importation AO. A bag of letters has been received at the Post-of fice from the Mediterranean some of them state, that several provinces in the kingdom of Naples were in open 111SUT:retiOn, aiij that considerable bodies of troops hail taken the &Id against the in• surgrats, whom operations are itywesented All par taking more of enterprise than of discretion. It is probable that the recent march of French troops into Southern Italy, may bare been occasioned by these commoti-ins. A letter born Ceylon, &fed the 7th April. states, that genie changes had taken place in the Ministry of the King of Cindy, highly fastour.ible to the Bre. tub interest. 'lle Prime Minister, the violent enemy of the English, ha, been dissraeed and-thrown into prison, upon suspicion of A conspiracy against his Master. The Offers who fell into the hands of the Candians, during the last war, have been heated with great indulgelice, and it is Doped will shortly be released. Letters were received, on Saturday, from Sierra Lents*. by the Ana, arrived in the Dowas, but they do not contain any news. The Lori packet, which arrived at Yarmouth on Friday, brings intelligence, that when she passed Elsineur, five sail of Danish men of war were Com pletely rigged, and had joined our beet. Report states, that at a C.tbinet Council, holden on Friday last, it was ordered that a Court Martial should be immediately called, for the purpose of inveAtating the conduit of Genera! %Arm txxxoect, respeding the late unsuccessful and disastrous expe dition against Buenos Ayres. and the treaty sub serviently entered into with General Lt to teas.

A red ribbon is because vacant by due death of Lord La vino-fon. the Afiskid (lase*, of the it.h. staies, that ten Caciques, who are Indian Chiefs, waited upon the Go. vernment of Buenos Ayres, offering to bring forward 20,000 men, with 100,000 horse. to, as they termed it, *. light aga inst the red coati." The reception they met with is very minutely detailed. including. of course. an assurance of gratitude from the Govern ment, accarnpanied by an expression of coo& donee, that their aid was unnecessary. It is added, th.t bee other Caciques had after wards waited ur on the Spanish Commander, with the offer of 10,000 auxiliaries, and met a similar reception. A c4avoy tram China. under cony. p of the ben. of 64 guns, is understood to be on its may home.— The dispute respelling the murder of a Cisiarbt, by a British seaman, has but been settled. sroRTING INTFLLIGLACE. e DONCASTER RACES (continued).

Messrs. W:wous and Co. of Bishnpsgater.street, have tatted up for Mr. C. SMITH, with rival splen dour, the State Carriage built by them a few ye a rs ago for a former Sher i. The remains of Rear-Admiral Ro t irsora were interred, on Saturday, in St. Clement's Church.— The body was followed by two sons of the deceased,' and six Naval Captains. On the I7th ult. LUCIEN BON A P• 11 TE arrived at Rome, from ROE:lens, in order to attend the lune. ral oI one of his sons, who died about a week be. fore. The Italian and German Journals simply mention him as the Senator Luct sm. Dispatches from Admiral Gamma have been received at the Admiralty. They are dated the 14th ir.st. and state, that the Vulierneae, a fine 113 gun ship, had that day come out of harbour, and on the Itith or 17th would sail for England. All the others were equipping with the utmost dispatch; and it was Thought that the whole would be ready, and the immense quantity of stores embarked, by the end of this mouth. A correspondent, after describing the sortie in which Sir Dario Hai RD was wounded, states, that the wound was a contusion in the neck, from a ?Tent ball, which threw him from his horse, and in his fall he had one of his fingers hurt. The gallant General was out on duty the next day, to the great joy of all who knew him. The Chapel at Holloway, near Islington, was burned down on Saturday morning, about three o'clock ; and some su.picion having arisen that the fire was not accidental, one hut.dred pounds reward is offered for the discovery of the incendiary. The 'Fre Madoc Races, Carnarvonshire, which ended Saturday stonnight, after three days of excel. lent sport on the New Course, promise to rival even Doncaster er Balmy. There was a most numerous concourse of the beauty and gentry of that part of the Principality, and the theatre had to boast of the very fanciful assistance of several amateur gentle. men aulors, who, as an Irish Gentleman observed, proved themelves as genuine ria4‘bri of mirth, as the regular servantr of the Comic Muse. Mr. Nixon's Lade Pentweasle. Mr. Paics's Sir tills Friendly, Mr. JOSIPII MADOCICS'S Lanes, and ‘V MIRK% COHNkAMIOn, were unrivalled, and con vulsed the horse with laughter. The rest of the sports and entertainments were supported with a liberality and taste, which the patron of the meeting so uniformly displays, and whose magnificent Im provements in that country. cannot be too much admired. A very large subscript.on was entered into for the ensuing year. and the new Stewards, Sir WATICIN WILLIAM; Wynn, and Sir Tioum as Mosrvra, gave a plate, value 501. as likewise Mr. W. A. M•oocoss a cup of the same value. There is a, felicity attending many subje&s, that the more they.are considered. the more apparent is their internal worth. A strong instance of this de. scription is the present New Lottery Plan, which conriprehen.'s two Schemes for ewe stake of adven. Cure. An impartial view of this conerund interest, divested of narrow rejudices, will .hew it. on a compwative scale struh formet Lottery Plans, to possess superior excellence and advantages over every one of them. An incpisition was taken on Saturday at th• Mitre, ►retween Ashford and Hampton, nn the body of Amplew JANLII BAULL, a corporal, who was accidentally shot on the preceding day. The de. ceased was the non•commtssioned officer of a small detachment of guards, for escorting three deserters on their way to the thp.l in the Isle of Wight. Whilst the party were refreshing themselves at a li•tle public house, A room, cr.e of p•ivates, was laying down his arms aid accoutrements, when the p ece suddenly went off. and lodged the ball in his body, below she right arm, which was the cause of his death. Ile deceased and AssoN were particw awl/ good friends.--aleeitleatal •
