Official advice was received at• the East India House this' morning, that the following Ships_ sailed from St. Helena the 7th of June last, under Convoy of His Majesty's Ship Antelope, viz. The Earl of St. Vincent, Lady Jane Dundas, Asia, Bengal, Thigh inglis,Walthamstow,. Lord Nel son, and the Lord Castlereagh ; the Harriet, Alex ander, Monarch, Huddart and Sovereign, extra Ships. The *Scorpion acid Atalanta 'Whalers,. and one Swede, the Fly Brig, with sundries from the Cape. Tne Ganges foundered in a gale off the Cape; the crew and passengers were happily saved., His Majesty's Ship Concorde sailed from St. He lena on the Toth"of June, and left there the Alfred, Vnitcd Kingdom, 1P °roster, and Duke if Montrose, outward-bonnd, which, were shortly expeded to sail for India. No intelligence whatever reached Town this morning from Admiral GAMBIER, but informAon of A decisive nature may he expelled in the course of two or three days.. We hiie reason to helievei from very good authority, that Saturday the 15th inst. was the last day allowed to the Danish Govern ment to determine whether. they would be come the Allies of this . Country; and declare *Oust France, or become our Enemies. If they edopted the former part of: the alternative, our troops were to land and aCt. in concert with the Danes against the French ; if the latter, we Understand that the ordets given to our Commanders were to take possession of the island of Zealand and the Danish .Navy. 13y privite Accounts we learn, that the retne4Al of Generid BENNIGSEN frmn the commend ,of the Russian Army 1133 excited , great discontent. 11e was considered as a skilftil and experienCed Officer, faithfully attached to the cause in which , he was engaged. His successor, .if not abso lutely superannuated, was understood to be affe4- ed by a malady which rendered. him quite unfit for so important a trust.

Dispatch,cs were received this day from Sir An_ Taus, PAaeT, but their contents had not transpired iwheu this Paper was put tq Press. Tut Conversation which passed between the XiNG of Swr.DEN and General Baviss will excite a lively interest in, all liberal minds for the fate of that aanaxch. It comes in such a shape as to admit of .hut little doubt of its authenticity . in any one point. for though it must, of course, have been detailed by the Ic./NG himself, it is impossible to suspea his veracity and, honour. Indeed, the account which Geheral Bautta hinikellgave of the Conversation is a strong proof that the general substance of the pre sent statement is, corre6t, though it received a dif ferent ,turn from his representation, If there be any part of the Conversation that tends to excite the dis pleasure of BONAPARTE towards General BRUNZ, the latter c trt only blade himself, fur if he bad communicated no more of it than What immediately related to the purport of the meeting, viz, the additional clause in the Armistice, there Is po reason to believelhat the KING of &WI:DUN Would 113Y0 thought it necessary or proper to prornulge the whole. Indeed it is rather to be snpposed that eie King, from motives .of humanity, would not have reported any thin& that might have exposed the 'ranch General to thesogesof his master. But the it,ttifi , of Swansa - was probably induced to submit a iepoit.of 'his conversation to the World, not merely On account of what 'General Banst thought proper to publish on the subjea, but on accountof many particulars which he had priv4tely circulated, and which, doubtless, reached the kilowledge of the 4ttic. of Swauzsi, as they were communicated to us some time ago, though we did out think ,it right to re late them. But the report as givcit by the K I NG Of 8w DEN . 14 still moriiinteresting, as there have been many attempts on the part)of his enemies to mac% the world believe that his opposition . to France was pot so much the result 'al his high sense of what is due to top vailso of legitimate Spreteigns, at 0: 3 TO:11a0rIC Id/riper UWE eVIEWen 3 M'lMlETcpti cn . , imagination, which rendered btu unfit for the im portant Statieu he occupies. It is, however,anani fest by the =count of the memorable intorview which we insert this day, that though the 14110 of Sw.ADgx feels the full V4 l .ile of xightfal, authority, and a firm attachment to the unfortunate House of Bourbon, he betrayed no rash emotions, but evinced the. sentiments of a dignified mind, and that his observations are the result of good sense, humanity, honour, and a due redieCtion on the instability of fortune, as well 'as a reliance on that Providence which can at will exalt the lowly, and bring down the great. —We fear that these noble sentiment's of the amiable and heroic Monarch will have little `etrea upon the people • of the Continent in general, who seem to be sunk into the lowest depths •of humiliation and terror; hitt they will serve to increase the veneration and attachment of his own subje • Cli, and render his charaCter a theme of eulogy in every Country where public spirit is not extinguished, and where it may freely express itself in 'paying just homage 'to elevated worth.

The latest letters from Trinidad received by the Packet on .

The Governor, it acorn', bad issued a proclamation,, by which the future government of the Island was to be regained by the swe code of laws which go verned the other West India Colonies; but this was strenuously and violently opposed by the Spanish settlers. The Braish Attorney.

Upon en, q"uiry, we have been informed, that an application had , been made to Lord AWIcESIIUIty; Secretary of State for the Home Department, for a warrapt to apprehend .Sir. outs as a felon, he not having stand, his trial far no assault it was alledged he committed, biwritinga letter to Lord Cwt./ cußay, to provoke him to tight a dUel, and for whic,h offence- Sir jOl-IN had given bail, and, forroited his recognitance ; this application L or & HAWKRSBURY retiised to comply with ; the Duke: of krnot., as proprietor of . the Island, was then ap plkha but he declined to interfere, and referred the matter to the Governu of the Island, who re fused 'lO act without the authority of Poverntuent. We are Inforniud, from what appears pod 'autho rity, that an agent of Lord CLUNCURRY, who was watching 8,4. JOHN, fearing he would escape from the Island while these measures for his, arrest were in progress,' had him arrested at his own snAt for about 1 . 9,0ba1.: British currency, the amount of Lord ONCUARY'd verdict, and Sir JOHN was com mitted to the Castle Prison, whffe he remained un til the sitting of the 'Court, which took. place in About eight days afterwards, when he was liberated.

Colonel MACI.EOD.—This meritorious charaaer, who so gallantly fell in the action at El Hamet, was universally beloved and esteemed in the Army as. an Ofticerof great spirit and talents.

"Ws Majesty the King, recognizing the motives which induced his Apostolic Majesty to offer :his mediation between the more distinguished of the Powers now at war, in order, by means of his good services, to lead to conferences concerning.peace, is eager to testify all The gratitude be feels on this ac count. The King beholds this measure of the Court of Vienna with pleasure as it respeiSts himself, con sidering it as the effe& of that friendship of which the Emperor and King has given him more than ono proof, and therefore feels this More strongly. Tf u desire to seethe evils terminated, which have pressed upon Europe during so many years, and his natural moderation, would induce him to accept without scruple the offer of his Imperial and 'loyal Majesty, it he could convince himself that the basis whicl* France %could consent to in a negociation would be such as his honour alloWed him to accept. The way and manner in which NA Po Leon has constantly; evaded. explaining himself in this . rope& is no for tunate omen. Yet should his Imperial and Royia Majesty succeed in inducing France to state such $ basis and make it known to the King, and should. they be not altogether hostile Co the End which his Majesty has been endeavouring to attain in common with his Allies, his Prussian .Majesty will eagerly ac cept the offer which his imperial and Royal Aposto— lic Majesty has just made.

Da BentiALD, en- titled, lie L'Eluilibreyalieigue eu Zurape. ThiS composition is mightily praised by the Continental critics,- for its style, 414 we shall only notice Its re-. suits and tendency. It 114USt be in the recolleetion of these who have read the works of the prophetic BURKE, that he represented, fret!) the beginning, the French, Revolution as having for its ultimate object the establishing of the dominion of France over all Europe; by 'disorganizing all Foreign Powers in their. internal Governments, and by concentrate • ing the strength of France itself into the hands of e a few vigorous rpen, Made more powerful ,b y belng freed from all the restraints of law and am- • science. The fatal catastrophe of the drama, which is just.finished, has verified 'ail the predielions of that great man. The French anther agrees with him in his opinion concerning the moral character of the Revolution and its leaders, but dif fers most essentially from him concerning the aCtual predominance of frapcp whiCh he considers as na tural and just, and impeded r4ther than promoted by the Revolution. According to M. Da BONALD, the theory of the Balance of Power is an idle fietion. France has at all times been ,the . natural mistress of Europe. -- ; " Charlemagne was the Augustus and Emperor of Europe, as his Grandfather bad been its Cog" and DiCtator. " During the Crusades, France ‘ 9 the sword of Christendom, of .which it had 00 1 10 1 ; 4 shield under a Mayor of Paris." In the Wit tury, indeed, the balance inclined on the Austriatl side ; but frame becAmo then the detender efChris tiunity by its Magistrates and Universities; `c• and its learned Do6t)rs appears))with .as much spice dour in the Councils, as formerly its warriors in the fleld." Under ramyts NIV. she re-assumed the sceptre, (' and chewed herself to, be trail the Queen . of Europe, by giving it kings." Pie* the Treaty of Westphalia, according to M. Ds 139 " . NALD, with the balance there lid up, t' was i" means of securing be preponderance, and weakening Germany, by dividing it.into two great bodies, ba - • tween which France 'could at all timesinterpofe,"-' In later days, and tlirough the influence of Lk?
