Thu 411 a, Danish Frigate, is arrived at Yartnon th with a Convoy of Transport; laden With N.ival Stires, under Convoy of ' the , O beron.-The Leyden, wi,ll anuthr Convoy, was immediately to fallow. AT' a late hour last night Dutch Paperi lo the .t4th arrived, and yesterday we received Paris Pu. pets to the tatli p;tated in one of thy latter, that the PRINCb , REGENT of Porttigal had embarked with the whale of his Court, treasures, &c, and had tailed for the Brazils with thirteen Sail of the Line This circumstance is mentioned in thel.afanatde Empir cof the. 17th we think there are strong PAlnfla for entertaining doubts upon the subject. The last accounts which reached this Country from Lisbon were of the 3.1 i) inst. at that time no prepa= rations had been made which indicated au immedi. ate intention of entharking, a►►d it is lwrillyyostble . that such: an event: could have taken pl'aee su , s►iOlf • after the sth as that. the intelligence of •it should have; reached Paris by the tath, Besides, it is per- % - fe aly well known that the whole-of the Portughee- rleet were not ready for sea ; we believe there were Pot ab ove f o ur Sad of the Line completely equipped butch Papers continue to speculate upon the P r obability, or rather the certainty, of a War between this Country and Russia, and they assert that the • disposition of the three Northern Courts is decide* hostile to Great Britain. They also state, that when ' the news of the rapture of Copenhagen readied :St.. Tetersburgh, the Emperor ALEXANDER refuted- to - . receive Lord Gow a a at Court, in CensequeoCa of Which the latter had solicited his recall. The `cap tore of Copenhagen mu s t have been k nown at ,St. Pete'esburgh before the end Of September, 'and f any such event as that mentioned in the Dutch Papers bad occurred, of course it would have beeh communicated to the 'British-Merchants Jet we find; by Letters of at late a date as the 30th, that tl n appiehensions Which had been previtsutii entertained of an EiD bargo in the 'Russian Ports had iii a great degree Subsided. There is another story in these Papers which ap- • Pears equally unentitled to credit, Viz . '. that one of the Russian Line of Battle Ships which late4y4striiied the Sound ran ashore, anti althougtahel 4 flatte. signals of distress, the British. Admiral' tefuseiVta ( ford any assistance.

The following Letter .was written by the Captain of - a Ship who left St. Petersburgh on the : 30th ult. to bis.O.vnerS " El-averts.
