THE determined hostility of the Danish Govern ment has rendered the adoption of vigorous measures on the part of this Country necessary, and it was .accordingly determined, at a Council held yesterday, that Letters'of,Marilue and Reprisal should boissued sOinst Ilmmark. A similar declaration will also ihsued:against Naples, and all the Italian States under the contrunl of BOON.tPARTE. We believe the States of the Poi are to ha exempted. ,The regular Packet has not arrived from Lisbon, but a Swedish Vessel called the Lena ha arrived at Diver, from. the Tagus, which she left on the 1 t The in he brings contirm3 that which had previously reached us. it was supposed that Lord STanrlfirottn, with almost the whole of the British 'Faelory, would embark on'the t title ; but none of the letters ‘thiCh we have seen mention that any French troops had entered'Portugal, and it appears that some of the Ellf,'li3h merchant; entertained so much doubt upon that subjecit,.that they hari'deter- mined to remain, with their property, Though the accounts which have arrived are very confosod,.and, in .soine instances, contradieiory,, yet,: upon one point, they al! agree, viz. that the Prince Regent ill the unfOrtunate and critical situation in which lie was placed, displayed the utmost anxiety to afford every possible assistance to the British sub - - pas to enable them to remove their Property. It appears to be the general opinion that the concessions which Portugal has been thus relutlantly compelled to Doke to France, will, for the present, save her from invasion, but if it should not, the plan of emi gration to the Winds is to be put in execution,--- The young Prince Dz Blzaa, it ,is Said, embarked on the tt t It, and the Prince Regent had declared that thtt remainder of the Royal Family, and the Meru. bens:of the Government, would embark ror the Bra zils the moment the French ariny•entered Pohug4l.

No such intelligence has 'reached the Admiralty, nor do we believe the report, We yesterday gave an account of a Robbery which wok place on Sunday last Chichester; and of the Murder of. Mr. SEROSANT, who joined in pursuing the Culprit.—An intolligentOorrespondi±nt, to whom we are much indebted, 1143 sent us the following particulars which ensued on this melancholy 'event : if On Monday afternoon, in consequence of .the murder. of Mr. SE4QBAwr, near Chichester, the preceding day, a party pf. Dragoons proceeded from that City in search of the Murderer : they arrived at the coppice where he had _concealed himself, which is near Petworth, , and some surrounded it, While others dismounted, and entered •by every qventici. 'After a stria search, they discovered hini, and drove bins out, without any trock, hat, pr shoes on : he then ran swiftly some distance , ,but finding his pursuers to be close at his lieels he ran into a pond, when they immediately fired at him, and shot bunt dead.

The military 'part, it is said, will consist of 5000 men, at least.

The value of the coin annually exported from Russia is about 1,200,0001. sterling.. An American Vpsel, ‘ve .
