L ND 0 IV, THCRSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1807. IT is very confidently reported that the Crown Prince of Denmark has refused to ratify the Capitu lation signed by General PEYMAN t we are, how ever, inclined to doubt the truth of this report, he cause we cannot see any possible advantage that could result to Denmark from this refiasal. The Fleet and Naval Stores are in our ; possession, and at probably by this time on their way to England. 3'he only consequence, therefore, that could result from the refusal of the Prince to ratify the Capitu lation would be, that we should not be bound to evac late Zealand within the limited period of six. weeks. Mr. MERRY, wd understand, will set out immediately io ascertain the final determination of the Du - 10h Government wish rev& to the question of Peace or War between this Country and Den. tu IT is stated in a Paper of this morning, that an intact; had beet) made upon Barracna, a Settlement on the East End of Ct 16.1, by the Chichester,. of 44 guns, which failed, and that a Captain, two Sub alterns, ao:1 100 men were either killed or made prisoners. No official accounts have yet them re= calved of this attempt ; but we believe it was made, and without .success. The Chichester is at present employed as a Store-ship, and was carrying same Troops to Bermuda. The Captain, conceiving that it was prat icable to carry Barracoa by a coup-de-mak made thu attempt, which failed, and about 70 or 80 raeh were killed or made Prisoners. The Paper which .contained the statement preflced it by observing, that all our projeas against the Spaniards were doomed to fail 5 and it Concludes by saying, the formidable resistance which our troops experienced was made by Frenchmen. • tirattpT of A PMATE LC27,tl; pitb;;;:•EXANDIuA s DATED Jtitm 10 j 1807. it;; L'?.t: been very tranquil here since we (the 'British forces that went lately from Sicily) `arrived,' and the Bedouins, who have a Large Camp beyond ' 'Mayabout, bring us in plenty of provisions. The Turks had detitehed a body, of three hundred cavalry *round Lake Mallet's, to cut off'these supplies ; the Bedouins, however, told theM they were determiti.

Tuesday the Marchioness of BA'ru, and daughters, went from Beaconsfield to Windsor on a visit to THEIR MAJESTIES. Yesterday, pursuant to annual usage, the LORD MAYOR of London, and his successor OM, with the new Sheriffs and their predecesiors, in their state carriages, accompanied by the Recorder, City Offi cers, and a number of the Aldermen and Livery, in their carriages, went in .procesiion from Guildhall to Blackiliars-stairs, where they took water in the City State barges, and proceeded to Old Palace-yard stairs : they then landed, and walked in procession to the Court of Exchequer, when the Sheritfli went through the ancient ceremony of counting the hen nails, and took the usual oaths before the Cursitor Baron of the Exchequer. They then returned in the same order to their barges, and landed again at Blackfriars-bridge, from whence they proceeded to Stationers'-hall, where they were entertained by Mr. Sheriff PHILLIPS, AcCounts have been received from some of our Eastern Possessions, which have excited some tt:- easiness. We .understand they relate to the dis , covert' of another ConaPirady among the . Native Troops in the neighbourhood of Vellore, in which even some of the Native . Officers were said to be implicated. • The plan was to have been carried into effe& at the moment when it was supposed all the British Offi uers would be off their guard, attending a public en. I , :rtainment given by the Lady of one of the Com wanding Officers (or, in 'honour of the Lady, by,t he Lritish Officers ; we have not been able to learn which) ; but timely intbrmation of the plot having been vt.:;.—te4l, it was frustrated for the time. The entertainment, h vever, took place at the time in . tonded .; but, on the prete";!: of doing honour to the guests, a respeitable European foteii attended, the Feu= of which prevented the conspiraairs from taking any attempt.

A Oentleman arrived from Gottenburgh, who was at Chriatiansand on the twit instant, reports, that Meeker was then in the hands of the English, and that Ohristiansand was threatened by two Ships of the Line and a Cutter, and he has no doubt of its being in our possession before now. There was in that port twu Ships of the Line, one of them an 88-gun Ship. At Gottenburgh the Swedes cannot disguise the pleasure they let.l at our triumph at Copenhagen.— Their joy is'unhounded, .whether arises from a feeling of satisfaCtion at the supposed disappoinunent BUIDNACALITF, Will experience (whom they consider as their most inveterate enemy), Or because they have the less to fear from the Danes. Tuesday morning upwards of one hundred and for ty fine young fellows, belonging to the Corps of Harbour-Marines,, in -the service, and for the pro te6tion of the Port of ',onion, commanded by Cifp. lain Show, Principal Harbour Master, embarked on board a tender, off Greenwich, Hospital, to be Conveyed to Copenhagen. They ikere accompanied by two of thoir Officers. A Frenchrnan's advertisement, in a Boston Paper, runs in the following singular strain : " Lost last evening a child about tivo years old, whoever will return hautc., his home, in Fore-street, shall be handsomely rewarded by his gait:tett lather, Jam.; BA E, who likewise sells French Brandy." A very melancholy accident happened last week on board a collier, on her passage from London to Newcastle. As two seamen were upon the fore top-sail-yard, reefing the sail, in a bard gale of wind, one of them (the Captain's son, a promising youth), was unfortunately thrown off. He was seen to fall into the sea, but perished before any assistance could be rendered him. Fitt n,—A fire was fliscoverell yesterday morning at the house in, Dqwning-street which is ,thiestieg to the First Lord of the Treasury. The DUke of PO4T-.

OBSERVATIONS OtiIIUONAPARTE's SPEECH TO THE LEGIS. LATLYE BODY, 4uo. 18°7.. ." If the House, f Brandenburgh still reigns, sit* owes it to the ''sincere friendship 46' t h which the poUierful Emperdr"of the North bas inspired mc." No persoti in . Europe believesthatßpot4ArAwre's Counsellors are deficient in sagacity and depth of understanding ! As for himself, none, surely, will accuse him of wanting either arnbition.or pertina city; none suspea•him of being restrained in his politics by any nice examination of the morality of the means which he employs : this, I apprehend, is „t• all that is required to domineer over the Continent. The article whichi have just transcribed, is one of those tremendous chef-dsctuvres fabricated in the Cabinet of the tyrant. It is not possible (for we wish to be just) to comprehend more circumstances in fewer words, or to combine more terrible results in a single sentence. • Every word which BUONAPARTZ speaks, and every line which be writes, or which is written for hhn, renders it necessary for those who wish to judge of their cbje& and import, to recur per petually to those axioms by which his politics are known to be guided. The 4rst axiom is, the destrudion of the Inde pendence of Europe. The second, to effe& it, if necessary, by War. And the third, to finish by Peace the work of War, or to insure its success by degrading at once the conquered.Poweri and her Allies. I ask, then, if he could have taken any step more effectual to obtain the °Wed which he had in view by Peace, than that • which be declares himself to have taken, in his speech to the Legislathe Body ? The Treaty of Tilsit has annihilated Prussia ; this we have already placed beyond a doubt. It re. mainea to degrade his powerful Ally, the Emperor of Russia; and for this BooNArxerts has amply provided by the Treaty. At present he is enjoy ing at Paris what he obtained at Tilsit, and he now de clares to the world that the King of Prussia would cease to exist, " without the hiendship with which the powerful Emperor of the North has inspired him." This, expression is inserted in his Speech for no other reason than to render the ignominy with which he seeks to cover the Emperor of Russia more conspicuous and glaring. In the first place, BuoN,%PARTE treats the Em peror of Russia , precisely as he treats all the Kings `who'll' he has either subdued or created : he despoils him of the titleby which he is recognized in Europe, and confers on him one which he never received but from himself. Thus he has, to the extent of his power, annihilated the Emperor in what he was, to create him anew in }Co own manner . ! In the next place, it cannot be donbted that the Emperor of RusSia' is powerful, were it only for this—that he' rules 'over the. Russian Nation ; it cannot be doubted that he is so, because this gallant People' has never ceased to be powerful, loyal, and affeiitionate. It must, however, be admitted that, personally speaking, he never was less powerful than on the fatal day whcii, not content with sacrificing his Ally, he enriched himself with 14 Spoils, . which be consented to receive from this hands of his COM. Timor.. This is surely an ad of weakness—.and it is precisely in recording this aCkof weakness that Buo- NAPARTE honours the Emperor of Russia with the title at' 't Powerful," merely to thew the world that he is so no longer !—So wide is the disagreement between the epithet (‘, Powerful," and that which issuggested . !),y the recolleCtion of the Treaty of . Tilsit 1 . " The Emper n or'of Russia has inspired him with a sincere friendship This is talse, because this is absolutely impossibk.. On a point like this, all Europe will unite inirejeCting the Calumny, and kis- Af.EX ANDE4 1. Those who are acquainted with this Prince agree in affirming that there are few more amiable, few of a more gentle and happy disposition, •or blessed with a heart more essentially good. He appears to have mounted the throne in one of those dangerous periods When absolute authority was subjetied to the most furious attacks, to teach the doubting Universe that this immense power is not u:; frequently one cf . the choicest blessings which the Almighty bestows 'on his creatures. Such was ALsiAND`ai 1. on the day when he be. came acquainted with BUONAPAitTiI. HOW then 'in him every thing necessary to ensure the love and atfetlion of all mankind, but nothing calculated to ob. tain the friendshiii.of livas4toirte. On the con* trary, he had all that could inspire him with the most inveterate distrait. Accordingly, ha did in. spire hill with it in the most violent degree ; and, Winer the destrutition of ALUATIDS.II . /. was sworn, it was on the day when, hiving seen, and judged Min by himself, BUONAPAIITZ was enabled to forsee, that if it had been in his power to dispose of the pre- lent, he himself would have bad no oppoitunity of teittlating the cleniniel at the f4t, re.. He saw in this Prince, ttt the very instant hat ha was takiAt 40 cruel an advantage of his in ~ l enoe over Mtn. that he .could only deceive him b: artifices w hiLh would one day render , hitu hi t mast implacable enemy. Ile saw that this Prince continued to con sult the public. opinion upon every aa of his Admi nistration ; and he must have clearly foreseen what opinions would prevail amongst a great.. people, whom no enemy has found ix possible,to , dvgrad* since the first manifestation of their pleasure to be come one of the , Pouters !of Europe. ,BUONAPARTE saw - the end Which this opinion would inevitably produce on the Emperor of Itassirq be saw that the mostAsolute, the most powerful, and th© most legally powerful Prince in Europe, found no 'pleasure in his boundless authority but that , of consulting the opinion of his people; and no real happiness but that of complying wtth their wishes. This is what he must have seen • and eliis is the insurmountable barrier which the hand t pl the Al-, mighty has placed between the hurt of ilte tyrant. and that of ALIMANDRII If Yes; the Emperor of kussia is " powerful," not, by what be did at Tilsit, but by the means he pos. seines of repairing the:evil which was done ther'ev. He is 'f powerful," because be is at the , head of *- great and mighty people, who are convinced that • the most serious misfortune which could 'befall client would be the of their Chief; and who,' while they preserve him in undiminished integrity, stand in awe of no Power on ,earth, These are the true , foundations of the " power" of ALIUANDER I. acid not that which he possessed of committing an error at Tilsit.
