Consols THE U SOLtld QUIZ DICSRI YALSUM AUDIAT LONDO'N, THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1807• No intelligence has yet been received from Ad miral GAMBIER, but orders have been isSued by, the Lords of the . Admiralty for DETAINING and BItINGING into Port all DANISH VESSELS. This morning a Mail from Go/tea!ugh atrived ; the following is the only Article of Intelligence which it brings : BULLETIN. flead.eitarters, at Strahund, Aug.'4. Captain Mail{ ordered, in the night between the 31st July and Ist Auguit, a detachment of 30 ma rines to land under the command, of Lieutenant CLAIRFAIT, near 'newiti, against the Enemy's chain of chasseurs, to reconnoitre their position. They were attacked by a French piquet, tbree_men of which were killed, and the rest taken prisoners. Lieutenant CLAIRFAIT returned thereupon with his detachment on board the Guns.boa4, after having carefully reconnoitred the Enemy's position. On the 2d inst. at five o'clock in the morning, a heavy cannonade commenced from the Triebsee batteries against the Enemy's works, which was discontinued in the evening, and renewed the next morning. The detachment of the Finland Regiments, or-. dered to this place, arrived yeaterday in the fortress. All the Officers' were this morning presented to his . Majesty. Some days since a report was spread here by des serters, that a Prince had arrived at the Army which besieges Stralsund ; but it was afterwards ascertain-, ed, that the pretended Prince was only General BERTUIER, who arrived there to review the Troops, and is not likely to remain long with the Army.-- (Goltenburgh Gazette, of Aug. 10.) There is a report in the City, that the Racket which brought the Gottenburgh . Mail, spoke an English Vessel that lefrthe Sound - on the 12th inst. being ordered . away ley Admiral GAMBIER; as he meant to make an,attack the next day on the batte ries. She afterwards fell in with a Swedish Vessel, who informed them that the attack commenced on the i3th (the day he left). 'and thaf two English Frigates. had taken possession of a Danish Frigate, which lay as guard-ship in the Cattegat, Jotelligertee was this morithi received at the Ad. miralty, by the Telegraph, that the Prince George ;arrived last bight at .§pithead froth the West In...,;tee.' :Somz of the Letter 1 0Y the - Lisbon Mail state, that apr,:.:tensions are entertained in Spain that the Fre!i'cl) Army which has been assembled on 613 Spaiiish Frontier, is destined against that Coun try, and not against Portugal, as has been generally supposed and it will not surprise us if these appre bensiolis turn out to be Well founded'. We observed upon a toner occasion, that the Army -Colleaed at Rayonne is - 11.inch larger . than would be necessary for the Congo:.tst of Portn ! :2l, and it is not unworthy of rwticc-, that B . PNAI'.IICIE has, uPon One 'pretekt 'Or other,. drawn .the greater part of the. Spanish Army out of that kingdoM. It is true that the French. Ifelt,r Las :9);!:Vays"..,4eiciseLl as despotic an influence toe' the Spanish Government as if he had absolutely si.thdded the Kingdom ; but .it is to'hd' recolleded qiat tne Xing is, of the family of Botnni oN--;-that he is one of the anoitinf Order of. Sovereigns—that while Spain reteins its piesetit Government, France will 'tot be entirely surrounded by 4evolutiOnary States-- aiid that BONArOt s TE has yet a brother who' ib not a King. Is quite astonishing to see the enemies of Mi nisters take such pains to bring odium upon that Expedition which does so much honour to their sa gacity, promptness, and energy. As it is evident that BONAPARTR would have adopted the very mea sure which we have undertaken, we cannot conceive how it is possible for any body who is tiot indifferent I to the welfare of this Country, to suppose that our Government ought quietly to have suffered him to auginent his power of annoying us. The' question lies in the stnallest compass, and none, W . O:sbould conceive, but the wiltnlly blind, can avoid, see- . ing its jtastice and policy. if BONAPARTE; could bave.giver4 any satisfaaory pledge ,to rapakina.tlLat be was incliqed to respett the Neutrality of Den mark, nobody can suppose that we, should have thought of the measure, icy question. But we are sure that no such 1.1 4 ,0ge could bd given, and we are ftwally sure that would have posseiised hitu licit' of 'the Naval PoWers which Dempark coulld . inpply, even if tie total ruin of that oo,lutry should GLOM".

Is - there anybody/who Can suppoSe; that France, after having employed the Maritime Force r of - Denmark for its own purpose, --would be ready to make any compensation t o th a t Country, or can anybody imagine that if the Danes quietly surrender to a Force which they cannot resist,. that we shall not be 'anxious to make them every honourable atonement for an a& justified Upon every principle of National Policy on our part ? It is absolutely. wasting words to defend a measure that imperious necessity. has dilated, which the Danes themselves must know`that we undertook with great relu&ance, but to, which the means of warfare, uni formly adopted by our Enemy, oblige us to have recourse; • Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, His MAJESTY ar rived at. the Queen's Palace from. Windsor, and held a Court stiot) after two o'clock, which , was at tefided by— The Lord President of the Council, the - First Lord of the Treasury, the Lord : Privy Seal, the Secretaries of State for the Home and Foreign Departments, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Master General ot' the Ordnance, the Seere tary at War, Lords Heathtield and , Paulet, - Sit S.

Sir JAMES will yet off on his journey next Sunday. On Tuesday evening summonses Were issued for a Cabinet Council, to meet at twelve o'clock this day. It is supposed sonic. important question is then to be decided, as it is very uncommon to issue•sum monses such a length of time previous to the meet ing ; the general time is only a few'hours It is expeLied every Member of the Cabinet will be present to-day. Mr. ELBWORTII, the Messenger, set off at two o'clock yesterday morning with dispatches for St. Petersburgh. It is said that Lord FITZIIARRIS is in readiness to setont on a mission to that Court. Yesterday the Duke of PORTLAND entertained the Cabinet Ministers at dinner. His Grace's family will remove from the house in Downingstreet, at tached to the office. of First Lord of the Treasury, to Burlington House, Piccadilly, on Tuesday next . Th e Duke will go to 31strode to-morrow. The private letters received by the last ConVeyance state, that the grand Military Fetes which the war with Prussia suspended last year are expected to take place on the gth of November, the anniversary of BONAPARTE'S usurpation. Most of the Continental bovereigns ar e,xpeaed to be present, acid afterwards e "•;:.f,t" • t to pass a great part or ;IC rails,. %yam splendid preparations are making for their reception. Rumour also states, that the Pore will make another journey to France, to inaugurate NAPOLEON as " Em peror of Me !Pest." On the same occasion, it! is be. liev.ed, that JOSEPIL and LOUIS BONAPARTE will, en tirely 'renounce. their offices of Grand Eleaor and Grand Constable, in favour of their Deputies, Tat, LEYRAND and BERTMER. The remains of the Duchess of GLOUCESTER are to be interred in the vault at Windsor, where the Duke and two children were •btiried. Her High ness's Will is to he opened toimorrow. This day 383 days pay to the Garrisons of. Great Britain and Ireland, from .the 25th of June, 1806, to the 24th of December, 1807, both days inclusive, will begin issuing at the Pay Office, Horse Guards. • We are happy to ,record an apt which refleas fresh honour on our naval charaEter.—Letters have been received from our Cruizers off the Coast of France, of the 14th instant, whit% mention that the Contest, of 16 guns, Lieutenant GREGOICY, had a few days before a very severe a&ion off L'Orient, with some troops and artilley, who had li ne d the, shore in order to prev en t the Contest, whiCh was in tent on such an ad, from cutting out several Chasse Ma*s. The gallant Commander of the Contest Was not to be deterred from his obje& by superior numbers, but purivad • his purpose resolutely, and after a great deal of firing, succeeded in cutting out two of the Enemy's Vessels, and sinking two others, In the execution of this service, the, Contest was so severely handled; as to be obliged to haul off to refit. She bad bead several times hulled, and had her rigging, sails, and yards, much cut. Many of the Enemy on shore Were seen to drop, from rt he steady fire of the Contest,, and the rest were thrown into great confusion. This brilliant exploit was perform ed, we are happy to add, Wi t h no loss., and with four seamen only Is:ounded. The - sixty-first ascension undertakeh at Aotter-. dan on the 14th, nstant, by M. BLAkHARII ) And the t Ith by his wife, proved ,very unfortunate. hey attempted to ascend together in a Montgolfier; but an unlucky accident deprived thousands of spec,: • tatots of the pleasure of seeing them; for scarcely 14 the baloon risen a few teet from the earth,.• when it struck against a tree, and on being .disen . .. gaged, dashed against the rod, and chimney o f, a neighbouring house, in censetitienCe of which it ,vas. torn and fell.

In addition to all the charms of nature, it has the powerful influence arising from__ classic ground, and all that local scenery " like Poets venerable made," and to crown all, it is at present, the favourite abode of a good Monarch, who & as has been not more often -than truly said, reigns in the heartS of his subjeas. MOransti has pe t rforMed with unabated attrglion. - His benefit is to take place to-morrow. The play chosen' is, The Road to Ruin, with an interlude, entitled Sprigs of Laurel, in which he is to introduce some comic songs, and the farce of The Deaf Loper,' He will of course have a bumper, and we trust that our Manager will be far from having reason to re gret his liberality in engaging so popular an actor. MdRGATE, AUG, 46. TROVGII this place abounds in beautiful prospects, yet the pasiing sight of the homeward East and West India Fleets afforded us a more than common enjoyment on Tuesday. - The extreme beauty of the weather continues to tempt new visitors to join our already crowded town.. The Theatre is unusually successful. Miss SMITII has no 'reason . to complain of her reception. Her 'on Tuesday gave much pleasure. She is not, however, the best of Singers, and in the Cuckoo Song did not acquit herself with a de- , gree of ability proportioned to her other merits. I.BvEußovE's Touchstone was respegable, and so was WIIEATLEY in Jaques. The part of Sylvia.was. performed by a young Lady, but her, terrors pre vented her from bringing forth what talents she may 'possess. .We exped Miss PUNCAN far a - few nights. ' If the Packets continue tp supply new visitors, many`of them must be compelled to occupy the 'gf . ound floor of a Hog's-stye, for most stations of a higher kind have long since been disposed of, After all that has been said of Mr. YOUNG'S en gagement at one of the Winter Theatres in London, it appears that he goes to Bath and Bristol on the conclusion of the Haymarket season, and thence pro-; ceeds to various .other places till the Haymark4 Theatre operas again. We cannot hit feel surpriso that so respedahle un a&or should thus be doomed to rancler about, consictering the present BOW of the London Theatres. LOVEGROVE; who is engaged for Drury Lan* Theatre, in the ensuing season, will be a considers- blo acquisition to it. - He was so comlartably settled at Bath, that ho had often avowed an intention of never engaging at a London theatre; but tho. Londot4 Managers have a winning way. ELLISTON has renewed articles with the Drury► Lane' Managers for three years. Mrs. 40anAti is engaged tar the same period. The Road to Ruin drew a large audience ,to the' Haymarket Th'eatre last night, 'an& YouNo deserv edly obtained great applause in the part of Hurry Dornton. It is said that. a Gentleman has undertaken, for ti; wagcr of one thousand guineas, to climb, from Cheaper; side, to, the dragon at the top of Bow-churcio steeple, there to hang his hat and descend without the assistance of either ladder or rope. On Wednesday, the 19th, her Grace'the.Duchess of RICHMOND visited the Charitable Repository, i 4 backOle-street,'Dublin. This particular Charity is singularly useful to indigent and industrious females.. It atfords a mart for any thing that female ingenuity Or industry may produce. This Charity was first - patronised by the Countess of Il.sanwtcrc.r., was afterwards most liberally encouraged by, her Grain the Duchess of BEDFORD, and is now santlioned by her Grace the Duchess of RicusioNl). liberal encouragement which Was giVen by her Ghee. the , Duchess of BEDFORD to this novel, and extensive in citement to ingenuity and industry cannot .pcls,so.l receive too much commendation. Messrs. RAYMOND, DOWTON, and FiTzslugg la ' we're' received with the greatest applause, at DLIP" dee. The Theatre. overflowed each 'night of their performance.
