iIIE BRITISH PRESS. . LONDON, *it D NES DA Y. AUGUST 12. Dispittehes were received, yesterday, at the Ad miralty, from Admirals GA se e'en and STAMM The intelligence which they have brought is eon sidered very satisfallory by Ministers. Our Meet trt ; left cruising of Elsineur, waiting for our t ; rifts, with the troops ; and the army in Copenhagen did not exceed four thousand men. •thi s intelligence strengthens the opinion which we b a se uaiformly entertained, that the veto's of the force, as well military as naval, which lately left our Eastern ports, is destined for Zuland. arrernment, yesterday, received dispatches from c a pe of Good Hope. The Telegraph. at the Admiralty, WAS busily ,yed, yesterday ? communicating with the se• „ t oping', and the greate;t aelivity prevailed in tPe several offices. Mr. Ct.vut. a Messenger, was ordered with diNpatches to Plymouth. The 7th and sth regiments of Foot were all em• baked at littll,on Sunday, and du:Transports which lard them on hoard got under way. These two regi rtratS had crossed the country, by forced marches, Isom Liverpool, having landed there from Dub ; and on their a7rival at Hull, went immediately en bond ti.e ships.

It will be seen in them, that P•assia has been stript by the Treity of Tilsit, of a (oh hall of her dominions, in rerped of extent, rerea•n, and pep:dation. A Rlssian Officer, arrived at Milan on the 13th lair, brought orders from his Sovereign for the (tuition of hostilities between the Turks and Rus sixth in the Adriatic and lediterranean. floisaisatz, not content with revolutionising the Csltinent, appears now resolved to revolutionise 11.: heavens: the University of leipsie has resolved that the stars in the Sword and Girdle of Orlon. shill he, to foture, called "Tiro Stars of N apoleon.' ()lion is one of the brightest constellations in the firmament. In ofLial order sued by Marshal Bann!, he designates the King of Sweosn as the hireling of England," and avows his determination , 4 to drift him trom the Continent." The Monition ad,:s. that the answer returned by that insolent Chief to the late proposal for an armistice, was, that His SRLDIIIII MA J ;al T Y must saterewkr Stralsund, end alwatas 3tvedis6 Pomerania for ever. The Dutch Papis also contain the new Constitution of the Duchy of Warsaw. It is upon the French model. The following R-girnental Orders were issned to 11,e ist Elinhurgli Regiment, on the !Bch ult. by R;ght lion. Lieutenant-Colonel Hope. They de,ei ve the attention, not only of every coirts, but of every man in the United Kingdom.—The Lieutenant-Colonel, after communicating to the Iteximeat under his command, the approbation, by Maj r-General Mackay, of their soldierly appear ance at their Review on the 44. h, espressing his saii.fadion in the high state of discipline in which Ore Regiment at pre.ent stands, and his regret at th, g. eat falling of in paint of nossirre. (the real e.F:Etive strength of the Regiment beiiig now esti ni:•;kl at little more than 600 rank and ale), adds, " :'"at a great diminution of our original number a'oald have taken place, is not surprising ; because several gvnilemen are dead, many have left this city and aveillibowhood entirely, and many have leen jinn a bad state of health. But the melan ch .iy consithrAtion is, that.. in such times as these, c should be cuzh welt ar seal, such thoughtless I taleArrisfe. arning the young men of this city, in 11.., taming forward to supply the vacancies occa sv•ned by the above necessary causes. If this back- Rat-'nets arose fr- in want of spirit, or from real la , :ilLrence as ta the fate of the country, the p-os pet before us would be alarming indeed. The tame of Europe may now be blott.A from the map l ime world. and alias oace was Europe may 001. ' be divided into Britain and France ; with this dif ference, that in the division, Britain has gained no thing, while the whole power of Europe is now at the absolute disposal of our rival. The whole of his immense force, he is now at liberty, without the possibility of further diversion in our favour, to di re% against this country, and if he should prove successful, the result will be worse than the Saxen or Norman Conquest. But let not this considera tion drive us to despair, but animate us to resist ance, and, above all, to submit cheerfully to the means which are to qualify us for successful resist ance. They deceive themselves who think that the French are not a brave people. They are a very brave people, and their onset is terrible. To great bravery, their troops now add exae discipline, and their officers great skill and experience ; and if against great courage, great skill, and great ex perience, we have nothing to oppose, but innate intrepid courage, all history can tell us what must be the result of the contest. If we hope to resist with success, we most add to our native courage, numbers--to numbers, discipline—and to disci pline, that fixed and patient submission to every burden, privation, and hardship, which our glorious freedom should inspire, and without which, as we should show ourselves unworthy of that freedom, we cannot expect that Providence should preserve it. We have one great advantage over the people of the Continent ; we have a Sovereign who is not to be daunted iuto submiuien ; and our public men, whether in or out of office, are true to their country. The people, therefore, have only to be true to themselves, and, under Gud, we have every reason to be confident of the issue of the greatest stake that ever was contended for by any nation.— To some of the nations now subdued by. France, there was no great motive to resistance ; their own Sovereigns were despotic, and it made little dif ferenee whether they were to be ruled by one tyrant or another. There might be a difference in the personal charadler of the men, but the degree of freedom under both Governments was to be the same. But it is not so with Britain. The alterna tive with us is, Whether we shall continue the hap piest people the sun ever saw, or the most misera ble and degraded : miserable in proportion to our former happiness, degraded in proportion to the implacable rancour with which our enemy beholds as? Language cannot describe, imagination can not conceive. the horrors to which conquest would subjigt us. fe Let, then, our young men step forward, if the; would save themselves from slavery, their wives, their sisters, and daughters, from violation ! Let our women animate our men. They have much in their power. Let them treat with scorn, let them exclude from their society, every man capable of bearing arms, who does not serve in some corps or other, and we shall have no need of ballots or com pulsion to fill the ranks of every description of Dune. These a:e not ;Jr:finery times, and those who hve in them must not hope for the ordinary repose of civil life. Every man must now be a soldier, if he does not mean to be a slave. Exemptions and privileges from service are out of the q'sestion. It is the privilege of being a free man, which is at stake ; it is the liberty of Britain which is in danger ; and if Britons will not answer to that call, they are un worthy of the name, and unworthy of the liberty which their ancestors acquired. Fall they must, and fall they ought. But let us cherish better hopes. Let us do o%r duty, and trust in God ; and, as the privileges which he has given us to defend are boo yond all price, let our resistance have no measure but our fortunes and our lives." The Cardinal of You' died lately at Rome, in the 12d year of his age. Our good KING allowed him out of his privy purse, a handsome pensiou.— His death is of some importance ; for, we believe, an a& with respell to Attainder of lood was to expire at the death of this last of the Sneer family. It is said that the Princess of SAION Y is to be married to the Grand Duke of WIITZOt uses.

The Minister informed him, that he had sent to the American Envoys, to know whe ther they had received any farther information; adding. " that if they had. our Government was ready to eater into an amicable adjustment of all differences." The answer was, " that they bad ra+ ce ived no isuttudtions." • .111' . e 171:11117°...
