t r oops coming from the grand army and tetnrnin: to France. The grenadiers of the Imperial guard pissed a few days since ; and to-day we expel the ehassears. The fine appearance of these troops is a theme of universal admiration. Gre numbers of convalescents have likeai - ,e arrived ; the number of those who have already passed is reported to exceed sow. They are to be immediately embarked and sent to \layence. A deputation from the city of Berlin, yesterday, passed through this place on its way to Paris, for the purpose of soliciting en abatement of the contri bution imposed on it. Letters from flamborgh state, that upwards of 50 ,000 men, French, Spaniards, and Dutch, are as ambled iu the environs of that city. a.t•oprwt, serf. 4. General Junnt arrived at 9 o'clock last night in this city, ■nd this morning a discharge of 13 guys announced this news to the inhabitants. The civil and military authorities are gone to visit him. This morning arrived here the ?Id Reediest of the line, the first and 2d Battalions of the South, and the Ist Hanoverian Battalion, the men of which are re markable for their tall stature : General Junot pro poses to review these corps, which are to set out on the 6:h (Jr their cantonments in the neighbourhood. /Lei. 7. • Ceneral Junot set out yesterday on a little tour in the places where the troops are to be cantoned, which marched yesterday towards Orates, and other points in the department. KtIL, MT. 6. We have, at length, received intelligence from Zealand, and even from Copenhagen ; and though we have, as yet, nothing but private accounts, they agree so perfeonly, that their authenticity cannot be douhted. General CartenskinlJ seems to have been obliged to Tic his position at Kinge, and to fall back ; but he was making preparations for advancing again. T, i. small disadvantage, however, was likely to be aba.ii,c,tly compensated. In the night between the C. jth and 30th of August, a brisk sortie was made by a part of the garrison, who advanced to Friderils'aerg, and attacked it with the r:te.stest fury. Eisteen pieces of cannon, aria 500 nrisonprs were taker, ; the number of slain on the part cf the English is not known, but it mast have been con eide:able ; the Castie of Friskriksberg, in which they were entrenched, t aving been burned and d-- stroyed by the howitzers of the Danes. Nevertheless this decisive advantage appears to have colt the be sieged a great number of lives. Four nr five bun eltsJ men were killed ; the greatest part of these were students, who. faithful to their oath. demanded and obtained the honour of marching the first. We have also received information that tw-s bat- Llions and dune companies of armours, have ar rived in Zealand. In spite of the English cruisers, the passage seems every day to become more eary. It is thought that some grand blow is about to be struate coNsT•wrimoint, •110. 9. The French Colonel. Sorbier, arrived here. this evening. Ha has brought the intelligence of the eonclasion of peace between France, on one side, and Aussie and Prussia, en the other.

To all the miseries which war has left behind it in :his wretched country, is now added a very dan gerous epidemic distemper among the horned eat tie ; it has already extended to Lithuania. This ilana:ty has occasioned several ordinances, diced ''g that the carcasses of beasts, which die of ti.ii distemper, be removed from the houses and buried. The forests and woods have been laid waste to soon a degree, during the stay of the immense belli grrent armies in our territory, that there is reason to apprehend a scarcity of fuel the ensuing winter.

The French Papers con tain camrnents of 7be Argus, upon the Expedition to ZealinJ, and some other pul:tical ar;leati of con siderable length, which we must reserve for a future , day. The only article of this class, which we have room hr at present, lithe comment of the Muoiteur. upon the Capitulation of Copenhagen, in which we fiad our observations of yalerday, upon that sub. jerfl, fully confirmed. In it the refas:A of the Crown Prince of DINMARK to ratify that in'trument, as communicated by the Gottenaarrg Mail, is satisfade. rily explained. The Niece is completely ender the influence and controul of Do , and of course there is little probability of an amicable adjustment between Denmark and England After the accounts which we have read of the ha vock and destruftion sustained by Copenhagen, we little expeded to find it censured for a premature and unnecessary surrender. French humanity. however, is of a very pliant ar.d accommodating na ture. It can give or refuse its sympathy just as it suits the policy of its Government. Loud were the wailinga of Gen. Biotic, and bitter his complaints against the King of Swsocra, for the death of one old Woman killed in Stralsund, after the eva. cuation of that garrison, by a random shot from the retreating Swedes. The same pliant humanity can however impute to General Peix•s, as a' crime meriting tk.t indignation of his Sovereign, • that he surrendered Copenhagen before the trenches were opened, and merely under the first impression of the terror produced by the bombardment, which, it is confassed, bad killed some women and children, and somewhat damaged the town.— Such is the levity with which the Mortheur can talk of the itestrialion of a great capital i and, accord. ins to the lowest estimate, of 700 eitizrou It is mentioned in these Papers, tat . te King of swz, Ls has made proposals for peace to Graffl4 Ra trio ; and that new additions aris meditited,tel the kingdom of Italy, by annexing to it Ragttsa pga# Dalmatia.
