This morning three aittenturgli Mails , arrived, tile contents of which will be fOund in our subse-: Trent columns. Many of the articles concur iri statimg, ,that ageneral opinion is entertained,ahat a War between Greai Britaiti and Russia eettainli 'take place. - The GarrisOn of Crcktstadt, it is said, has been reinforced with ten Reg,inieuts, and large detachments- of Cossacks are constantly patroling the Coast, in order to prevent the landing of the English. Another account states, ahat upwards of 150 English Vessels had left the Ports of Russia in Killast, under an apprehension that a war would take • piace, and that they, of course, would be seized.— The want of recent intelligence from St. Petersburgh, prevents us from spettking with any degree of cert:iinty upon this subjea It may not, however,' be improper toobsvrve, that these reports were originally insert ed. in the French 'Papers, and in those immediately under ErenciOntiiience ; they are, therefore, to be received with considerable suspicion.'But there are other-circumstances which induce us to decline giv ing them any credit : , a Russian Squadron of three Sail of the Line ~and three Frigates have - arrived' in the Sound, and the Line-of-battle Ships have riot their full complement of 'tnen on board._ ', Now,, if the Russian Government - meditated hostilities against this Country, or entertained any: apprehension : that we had any designs" against their. Navy, it . is extremely improbable that a considerable Russian Squadron, almost unarmed, Would have been sent into the midst Of an. English Fleet of L 2 Sail of the.: Line. 'lt - is stated in an article from Copenhagen, that it Was reported that Admiral GAMLiIER ,110 4 received orders from home to tak,e possession of di / is Squadron, and that: he had afttially dettiched ! . a Squadron for that purposei but . upon an exarnin- tion of the dates, it is,ObVieUS thAt:lno such orders could haVe. , been sent out. 111 e animosity Which. the, Inhabitants of Copenhagen felt against :Out.
