When the Packet was at the mouth of the Eydcr, ,she found an American, Vessel there, the Master of 'WhiCh informed the Captain of the Packet, that ~ hadsent..his ',Boat on .shore for an anchor, and said, that if therlPacket would wait till the'Boat re 'tin:tied; he'44fild'Otin - nuonicate - whatever intel - - lio.ence .she brourYht. ,The Packet accordingly t waited; and theo4cer, and Crew belonging , to ,the ?Boat on,their' return stated, that the Island 'OCZealana, and the 'whole Danish Navy, had s4crendved Oa' .the 21st. The' fact of, the born 115rdtnent of Copenhagen having commenced on the fith appears to be clearly established, .and as..the •,• • wind lias got round to the northward, we . may hourly expea the official accounts from Admiral GAMBIER. YEM:RDAY we received Hamturgh and Altona l',l - .ers to theloch hist: from which we have made L.:. • /won interesting, extraEts respeaing the discussions 4whinh .havek•taken place between this Country and Denr9ark,, and alsothe Penclaination issued by the Pany4 ,PPverrpent, ordcrinethe arrest doll firi. tiih"Subjeas in Denmark, and the seizure of British pioperty. - This PrOclarhation; which is an unequi- , ‘ipial Declaration of War on' the part 'of Denmark; is dated at Gl'itckitudt, tltc tgth inst. These. Papers do not contain. any account of the aaual commence 'meta ; but front the intelligence which Yzis ,variat4faiters, we 'hare no dunbt that, they commenced on the. 18th.. Why thetWere delaybcriolong, We have not sufficient - it4tiltitiOtiligfor,e . ui to enable us to determine. It is stated in ,the Danish,,Proclamation, that on the 13th the. Uri tish Minister,' Arr. JAcKsok; announced to the Dani,h GDvernnietit that hostilities Would be commenced, and demanded a Paisport for himself and Suite. • Notwithstanding•this explicit Declara- tion on. the 13t11,; tlie•Daoish Proclamation was not issued till the I (itli';` and on the 17th hostilities had ;pot been commenced by our Forces. it is probable that on the 14th and 15th some further attempts were made by the► Danish Government to negotiate, Merely for the purpose of glining time to complete ilieir,plans of defence.. We lament that so much time was allowed to them for preparation, but, as Iva have already stated; it would be highly impto per, for us to censure the conduEt a our CoMmanders •or o .r Minister upon such very slight information as we hat:e before US. Ail the accounts from Zealand coueur iu atatiug,that themost naive preparations were raking to put the Island 'in a formidable state of de. fctine. The Militia of the Island is stated to amount to 18,0,00. men, and the Regular TroopS to 6000;'x- sides Volunteers, Sex. We never had, however, my apprehensions as to the result of the contesf.— Ile time which has elapsed since the arrival of our fleet before Copenhagen may have enabled the Dines to make a more obitinate resistance, but the lin'titense force mrhicli diwernment sent upon this ;x diciou rendered our final sucess certain. It . 14/ietiitiv‘ily.9ffseeted; in several private letters 'which received from the COntinent, that A Nogotil:iva h4ti commenced between Marshal BE R..

'lna American Schooner Revenge, with the re pres'entations of the American government in conse quence of the rencontre between the Leopard and the Chesapeake, has at length arrived at Falmouth. It appears that she was not dispatched firm America until the end of July, and her voyage was protratied in consequence of her having received orders to put into Brest, before she came to this Country. 's We have received some American Papers, but they do not not contain any intelligence of importance, except some Letters from China, dated. the 24th March, which state that the dispute between the English and the Chinese had risen to such a heigltk;that Several English Vessels were coming away in ballast. 114 - 1 • '41,..1 4 4 - 4, /./ 1, La V .41 47 pli.Ll • Yak;NA, AUG...0.-rrACCOrding to a Convention concEded with the French Imperial Court, the For. tress of Brinnau will be given up to the Austrian.- frliperial Troops on the .2(ith of this mouth.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 12.—Tranquillity does not appear to be yet perfectly ye-established in this capital ; at least the Januissaries retain a greater in fluence in the'Government than the military poWer ought to possess in a well ordered Government ; and it is to this, influence that the dismissal of ionic other persons from the Ministry is to, be ascribed. With resped to the events of the war, there are va rious reports. It is said that our Fleet has made it self master of a part of the Island of Tenedos,nnd sailed from thence to 'Lemnos, but there it is ,blocked up by Admiral SINIAVIN from the Black Sea. ,We have received intelligence of the fortress of Anapa, and we are, flow in‘fear for the Sinope and ,Trebisond.

The militia is,arriveo ; guns are mounted on the ramparts; the City artil-, lery and infantry, the corps of Students, and the life chasseurs, are under arms; and it is now generally supposed that Copenhagen will be able to defend it self with success. The English Fleet is still lying off Funen, without having hitherto attempted a landing, or fired a shot. His Royal Highness issued the following Procla mation,. before his departure from home :.

AUG. o.—On the 4th instant,,at eight in the evening, an English ,division, consist ing of four Ships of the Line; five Frigates; and eight Vessels of War of smaller force, passed the Great Belt, and continued its Way•to the .Sound.
