LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1807. Last night Hamburgh and Aliona Papers to the ISt ult. reached town, from which we have made some. ExtrABs. It is stated that an attack was made upon a' Danish Ship of the Line, which had taken shelter in the harbour of Christiansand, by two Bri tish., Sail 'of the Line and a Frigate, which attack n;it.' only failed, ht# we are told' that our Squadron , %yak chased for a ,considerable distance by a few Danish Gun-boats. , We are sorry to find that the Danes' have already begun to imitate their new friends, the French, t in the glaring inaccuracy of their narratives. We'this morning received some Ilawburgli Pa pers, but . they are of an old date, viz. of the , ,ryth, and loth ultimo. The preparations along the Erench COast, for the invasion of this Country, arc, it is said, to be renewed upon a large scale, Troops received orders to march to the Camp at ilalogne, and the Flotilla is to be immediately re fitted. We know, however, from,the observations of some of our Cruizers, that the Camp at Boulogne remains in the same state in which it has been for a. k lotig time past ; and, as to.the flotilla, %ye believe th'at . by tar the greater part are whollY unfit for ser- vice. The faa of the CROWN PRINCE of Denmark having ordered the destru&ion of the Danish Fleet appears now to 136 ascertained beyond a doubt. The oMcer who was entrusted with the Letter from the PRINCE' te General PEYMAN was stopped at our oat posts, and examined, but lie found means to destroy the Letter. IT wilt be seen by our Yarmouth Letter, that 'Louis the XVIIIth, the Duke DE 13Esat, and suite, landed yesterday at 'Yarmouth, tiom the Swedish I4'rigate Freya, and it was supposechhat . they would tot out yesterday evening, or this morning, for Gossfield, - a seat belonging :fo the Marquis of AM, in Essex,. Some of the rapers of this morning,express doubts with respea to the ac. ,Curacy of the statement which we 'yesterday laid before the public upon this subject. We, how ever, again repeat, that Louts XVIII. did not pre viously apprize the hover ntnent . of this Country of '-his intention to come here, or of his' ."votive for coming, and that when he' came he expressly de .4ared -that he did not come to find an asylum hare, but for political purposes. These were the real causes" of the difficulties which have taken place.:— . Nothing Scan be , farther from our intention than to say any thing which may tend 'to wound the feelings of the )11ustrio0s stranger,'' but wilt feel it to be our duty to state the fa6t . s of the case, in order that the condutrof the British Government may not be unjustly arraigned. \V yesterday announced the arrival of a Convoy from Oporto. It appear& that• the greater part of the British Merchants ,have quitted Portugal, with their, property, and / are Come home in this Fleet. We were perfedly corred in supposing that there no foundation for the report in the French Pa ` pel., of the Royal, Yatuily of Portugal havi n g em ., b.ifkett for the Brazila. At an early hour yesterd •iy morning Lord CATH CAKT,' acebtopanied by his two sons, arrived at Windsor. Soon after their airival the bells of Wind sor Church and 61: C;::',01 -, , , J1's Chapel rang a•merry peal, to We!cotne his Lordship'o return from Copen hae;en.: His lordship's arrival being made known to liiiMAJcS•ry, as soon as he bad finished attend tug to the dispatches brought by a Messenger from Ivlanisters iu London, ills MAJESTY was pleased to 13ive . an audience to his Lordship for a considerable time.---The weather proving tine, at ten o'clock Ills MAJE3TY accompanied' by the Duke of KENT, the Nincesiei and AMELIA, Lord CATH.

After surmounting many difficulties in his at tempt to escape the English Cruizers, Lientenant Vow STHITEN at length reached Zealand, and was. within a mile and a half of Copenlidgen, though by : was in a disguise, he was des.inied 'ay °au' of the Enemy's patroles, and carried to their Heed quarters.

SESSENS, lying in Christiansand, was summen• ed by the Commandant of an English Squadron, consisting of two Ships of the Line, two -Frigates, and Brig, and which had blockaded that port since . the 17th ult. The summons ran thus:." Thai, as the Danish Fleet, in consequence of the Copen hagen Capitulation, had surrendered to a sttperier force, thq English Captain (STAFFORD) had been ordered by Admiral GAMBIER to take possession of the Prince qfiristia4 Frederick ; and as the, force lie had with him was so superior to that of the Danes, he hoped tlle . Danish Commandant would surrender,. in considomtiqn of sparing the town of Christian sandr eqd Jca..prpivetthelheddiug of human blood , " Captain, JESS E NS returned for answer, that the Stilt) lie had . the honour to command, was by no means i*lltdcd in the Capitulation - of Copenhagen , and a h nd he should. defend hims e lf to- the last et' tremity, even 'against superior- force ; and that it would by no means be -imputable to him if the' English should make themselves masters/of Chris' tiansapd by any barbarous conduCt.
