The Qfficers, however, by great exertions, forced their way upon deck, and after a short 'confli6l, drove the mutineers below, and near 60 of them were put in irons. The Frigate then returned to Halifax, where a Court- Martial was assembled to try the mutineers, which was sitting when the last accounts came away. :Vkr understand that Letters have been this day received at the Admiralty, from Admi,r l PA N I P ER, but their c9ntents have not: transpired. . aims morning we received Hamburgh Papers to the 30th ult. The following are the only articles of intelligencewhich they contain : Lowvt ELBE, SErr..fig.—The recent proceed ings of the English, near Lubeck, where they have already taken several Ships bound from or to,aus sia, seem to indicate hostile designs . . Oft Born holm some Russian Frigates have been seen: they are probably cruizing there , to observe the move ments of the English Fleet. An English Frigate is arrived in the Road of Travernande, but it does not molest navigation.--(Correspondenten,) > - The blockade of the Ems, Elbe, and Weser, for Neutral Ships bound to Neutral Ports, haS been raised.—(Altona Mercury.) OLDESLOKE, SEPT, 24.-r-We ~learn that Major. General Vow Wwrzasnolll , l7' has beeti arrested on ' his arrival at Kiel, and transported farther from thence to Aalbork, in Jutland:—(Correspondent.) • LUBECK, SEPT. 25.—This - Morning the English Frigate which arrived yesterday fetched frOßthe road Capt. KOOP's Ship, now in loading, and bound.to Riga: she also took along with her and put to sea three other Ships, viz. two Lubeekers and one Fiatnburgber. This is the more inconceivable, as, on examining Capt . . Koor's Papers, they made no difficulty. A skipper who went - from Rostock for Copenhagen, and with passengers, has been ordered 'back by them. Agreeable to the most recent ad vices, .the English have taken several Ships under the Lubeck Flag, in the Baltic. It is inferred from this, that a rupture between the two Powers is un avoidable.—(Correspondenten.) . STRALSLYtiD, Smr. 25.-- . The "French Imperial Decree of the loth of last November, 1806, has now' been 'published here, forbidding all commerce and correspondence with England. By Marshal BRUNE'S order, all the Boats put in requisition there for the French Army are also re- . "stOred to the owners, on proving them to be their property.—(CorresPondenten ). . . BOURDEAUX, SEPT. 15.—The measure taken by our Government, not to let any Ship unload in our harbours, if it has been taken, or only detained, by the English, has Much diminished our Foreign rela tions. An American Ship with, a good cargo brought up, but again released at Plymnntli, has been ordered away. Our trade is quite dull ; as the Danish flag has ceased to be free, all shipments are totally at an end.. • . . . (PRIVATE coßngspoNDENcE.) ' BANKS OF Tait ELBK, SEPT. 30. The city of Hamburgh is in the utmost distress to raise the new contributions demanded , by Franco ; it is impos sible to obtain the same from the 'common • tizens, as they are already half ruined by hav ing so many Spanish soldiers quartered upon . them. The Spanish troops will, it is said, speedily quit the Hamburgh territory, for Holstein. The arrival of a. Corps of, 8800 men, under Gen, MOLITOR'S orders, is daily exl,leaed at Hamburgh. The behaviour of the Spanish troops in that place is very reprehen sible : murders and assassinations, besides robberies, happen almost daily. TRIESTE, SEPT. ti.—Very unexpectedly a MM. slap Fleet came to anchor here yesterday morning, `consisting of three great ships of the Line, nine Fri gates and Corvettes, and twenty Transports.— They have on board all the Russian Troops who hare hitherto occupied Cataro, the Willa-, flan Islands, such as Curzola, Lessina, Bm. and the Republic of , the. Seven Islands. Soon'atter the Russian Commander sent an O. cer on shore, Tequesting permission for their troops 'to return to theircountrythough Hungary. Our Go vernor declared that he neither could, nor would,.grant such permission without the fore-knowledge of his So'vereign ; but that he would without delay send a Courier to demand his Majesty's instruCtions, which has been done accordingly. We do not doubt our Emperor will grant this passage to the ; Russians, it being the 'shortest way ; hht they will first be obliged to perform a slidyt qua rantine ; their'pumbers is previously statabeßveen fi and 7000 men. • ' Tbe'Seven Islands are strongly blockaded by the ; English, , all Merebantnn, withont • regard to their ' , lag, are detained and brought to Sfattar, ob!Flibri,hy eveninga be Pribely of 'WA LEg, Duke of CunumflLAvni anti Lord _ - ,Laitt, winosur,.on C 3 visit to,their N AVA L N E WS. t4TSMOUTII, , OCT.
