I ~, capitulation obtained by strength ever weakness, or possibly a want of vigilance, that they shall be able to extricate themsel;e: from so unpleasant a shit'. ation ? No: England ha, ,now lost the esteem of Denmark, and all other nations, for ever She eats nuke no use of the ships she has taken, nor yet re tain Zealadd. " The season apprmaches when the East and West Indies, Ireland. And even England itself map b• attacked, while the greatest part of their power will ran the risk of being shut up in the ice of the Ude. " Or should the English attempt to remain in Zealand, they will be driven out, whatever their army may be; or should they evaturate it accord. ing to their capitulation, the Sound is then shut against them for ever. Perfidy and treachery suc ceed but once! " Denmark had a land force suacient to have re. pelled any attack from the Laglish ; and if it had net been for the false security with which they flattered . themselves, and the unnecessary alarm they indulged 2J to the objets of the French, they might have bad 40,000 men at Copenhagen, and Lord Catheart would have met with a reception under its walls, si milar to that which the Duke of York met at Dun kirk, in Holland, and, in fad, at every place upon the Continent, wherever the English have dared to set font. W:ts it by taking the Danish Beet, and setting f:e to ti!e ca7itad, and thus violating the independ ence and impartiality of Denmark, that the English Alin'ary, rh,:ir General, thcztgla to preserve its tett:ntlity ! 1:t :hat case, we should be justifitd in I arming an idea eqsaily as unfavourable to emir foresight as their justice. It they think to remain in Zealand, they ought to bring an at my of 80,000 rhea together I and even theft it *Quid be of little eigaification. This attack must be viusred as still more ab surd, if it is to be understood as an•esperiment upon the Continental Pulrefll. Let us estimate the hatred it will excite, and the means which it will admissister to the arm of vengeance. " The Emperor Alexander had offered England Isis mediation. In reply to this offer, they attack that sea, for the independence of which this Pilau wee guarantee. They steal the fleet and burn the c*pital of a Power, to which they are united by the the of policy, friendship, and neighbourhood. Thad the English repay the services which Russia he. at all times afforded theta; the privilege which she Nosiest% to chid: twasenerce, sad the immense mai. bees which she has wads so their ambition. When they might have availed themselves of their remain ing Ally, they put her to defiance in a point of hoe sour ; and snack bee in bee dearest interests; and is the discord they emits, they rapine the respeille- We House of Denmark, belonging to the Family of the Ring of England, as the only sacrifice to their warden cruelty. It will be in vain to endeavour to obtain foi give nese for this offence, by endeavouring to make it be lieved that France bad views against the interests of Denmark. And even so, was it prudent to an ticipate France, by a tratisaffion sl much more scandalous ? But the interest which the French Emperor tikes in his glory. and that of his people, would have prevented him from such a violation of the immutable rights and morality of nations ; one consequence of a contrary conduel would have been to kindle a new war, to offend Russia, and again deliver up the Cor.tment to fire and sword. In all cases it was the interr:t of England to have aacd prudently. She mi i ,Lt.it any time have placed her fleets before the Island of Zealand for its 4:dent.; and then, besides the justice of her cause, she would have bad Denmark, Sweden, and Russia in her favour. 4, If we view the expedition in its objea, its ex ecution, and its eff et,, we can tee molting in it but toe blind and cruel policy of frar, which makes ao calcuLttions. nor acknowledges or respells any power. After all, it will be vet y difficult to believe ill the excellence of a Constitution which admits of such combinations, and not to be astonished at the idle speeches of a Parliament, which suffers, awl we may say, sandiocs, such ad of injustice." •iasauacll. SEPT. 18. Letters from the North of Germany, of the be ginning of this month, say, that the troops under the Prince of Ponte Corm have taken a fixed position. The right wing of his corps is in and about Lubeck. to the eastward. The Spanish troops are mostly concentrated about Hainhurgh, and form the cen tre. The left wing, composed of ilollandent, is between the Elbe and the Weser. The whole make a total of about 40,000 men ; but when this army is to aft, is uncertain.

At the same audience was presented the Persian Ambassador lessor Bey. From the coasts of our southern departments. we learn, that the Toulon squadron puts to sea with every favourable opportunity, and that the prior:pal o%jei of these trips seems to be to exercise the crews, and to drive away the English frigates and privateers which occasionally appear in the offing. The Duke De Freas arrived at llourdeaux, on the 14th, with a numerous retinue, on his way hither, as Ambassador Extraordinary from His Ca tholic Majesty. The Neapolitan papers inform us, that the Ex- King Ferdinand, with all his family, hl.ve departed from Sicily, in an English frigate. To cover his flight from the inhabitants, it was given out that he was going to place himself at the head of an insurridion which had broken •ut at Naples. raiss, SEPT. 22. The Russian Emperor has sent the Emperor Na poleon two pelisses of great valise. Among other persons of rank here is the Prince Bishop of Liege, and the Persian offccr Jussuf Bey. IRONTIIRS or TURICIY. SEPT. t. Fears are entertained that the English meditate another attempt to force the Dardanelles. Accord ing to accounts from Constantinople, dated the ISth August. a strong north wind seemed to be the only impediment to their endeavcuring to pass through that Strait. The Porte has availed itself of this de lay, to send off farther reinforcements of troops and ammunition ; and some French engineers and gun nen, who s ill be followed by General Gard Anne, have also set out for that quarter. t ROM THE 'MINCH J'APERS.

Yesterday, at the meeting of the Legislative Body, the subjeft of the Budget was resumed.— M. Arnauld went through the various item* of it , * public revenue and expenditure, and concluded with the following observations " Advantages so signal are marked by the finger of genius ; for it cannot escape any one that they have been followed up and obtained by His Ma jesty. the Emperor and King, in the midst of ionu merable triumphs after the commotions which shook France to her very foundations, and in spite of the clamours of writers in the pay of our enemy, who published, from infallible deduaioos, periodi cally infused through every Cabinet, that France would never have either 'Repasts or finance, either credit, or even territory; 01 atrocious blasphmy, thou bast recoiled upon the imprudent Cabinet where thou originatedst. •• Who has forgotten the false prophecy of an on• for celebrated for his vehemence—of Burke I can wy eye over the map of Europe, and 1 behold not one single power that can give you the smallest uneasiness,' s.tid that orator to the Parliament of England. • 1 percive,' continued he, • one great blank, one chasm —'tis the space formerly occupici by France.' " Let Burke raise his malignant head from the tomb ; let him cast leis eye. not over the map of one single country, but over the whole horizon of the globe ; and he will see what bitter fruits this ambi tious and sanguinary policy has procured his coun try. He will hear. from the remotest limits of Asia, to the least inhabited coasts of America, and even to the icy legions of the Pole, one universal cry of indignation and hostiiity against the anti quated pretensions of the Cabinet of London to the dominion of all the seas.

" Let Burke rise from his tomb—let him tell those men who influence the councils of his nstion, that the doer ine of wars cf exterrninatiou which he professed, has accumulated all the calamities ready to burst over England; that her maritime and po- litical system, established two centuries ago, when all Europe was lulled iato a lethargy with resped to its true interests, most now be modified; that every nation now knows the nature of its rights and the efficacy of its means, in peace as well as in war. *4 Let Burke expiate, if it be possible, by this great troth, seasonably told. the incalculable evils which he has brought upon mankind, by becoming subser vient to the destrutlive policy of the ministers of his time ; and let his tomb close upon Aim again for ever !
