Oust Readers will find in our subsequent columns some further Extraas from the Halnturgh Mails which arrived on Saturday, and also some additional particulars respeaing the -seizure of. Hamburglr.--:-:' We , feel considerable satisfaaion in being able to state, that the intention to take possession of Ham burgh - having bedn for some time anticipated, Go vernment took every poSsible measure to render the consequences arising from such an event as little in jurious .to the mercantile interest of this country as possible. There can, however, be no doubt that .the system of deception- whic . h . tbe French Minister, BOURSENNE, carried on to the very. last moment, had the effeet of .deceiving many persons, .Who were punished for their rniS-placed confidence by the loss of their property. This morning five GotteOurgh Mails arrived, but they do not,add much to the intelligence of which we are already in possession. It is . stated, and we hope truly, that a Vessel had arrived at. Copenhagen with the most valuable part of the KING of -Pans-, siils Treasure on board. Nothin ,,- but the-'Most gross negligence could have suffered a , .t to eito . '" °Tel to the hands - of the French ; but after - what WC have lately witnessed, lie should scarcely: be - stir prized at any thing. The opiniOn which we,ex pressed a few days ago respeaing 41)e-designs of, Rio- NAPARTE against Denmark,will, we fear, prove to be too well-founded. It is said, that he had demanded that a considerable portion of 'the _Danish Marthe should be given up to him, and that the SpilEA, should be shut 'against the English. The: part of this report we think highly If he should persist in this demand, the Court of. Copenhagen will - be placed in 'a most embarrassing situation 3 it would be . alniost inipossible to pro , . teet Holstein from the French, andindeed the whole of the Danish territories would be in considerable danger. ~7vlre, ,do not, however, think thatA3oNA_ PARTE will at present make such a divisidn of hi s Forces as would be necessary, if he iutende l d, to make a serious attack upon Denmark : he mast con centrate the grea t mass of his Army in Poland , , but unfortunately he as often effeEts his purpose by arti fice and by threats as he does by force. The French have advanced- near to Stralsund, which is declared in a state of siege if they should think - proper to invest it form lily, we venture to predict 'that it Will not be given up rike the Prussian fortresses. THE reports . of an Armistice between Pru.s,9ia . an4 t France cpntinue to be circulated on the Confided - , end the Master of a Neutral Vessel, who sailed from Caen in Normandy on Saturday, and landed at Dover yesterday,.reports, that before he sailed news bad arrived of an Armistice having been concluded.

The entry of the Bnemy.was.so sudden and unexpected, that the Messenger only had time to leave the town at one extremity while the French were entering at the other. WAGSTAFF and HAR tRiAVE, two other Messengers, are left behind with Mr. THORNTON, vvho,we are happy \ to think, is now out of danger.

I dis patched the Boats under the command of Lieutenant Norton, whose abilities as an Officer, and know ledge of the place, promised success (assisted by the Officers named in the margin*). They arrived at, the entrance of the Harbour at' one o'clock, and im '' mediately dashed, for the Vessels under a tremendous ' fire.from the .Forts,Vessels, and the Shore,. the beach being lined with- field-pieces and musketry, the Fe- - luccas keeping up a heavy fire until' the Boats were , alongside ; ,the Crews made a short resistance,. ana l quitted them. Not Withstanding such a heavy fife, they succeeded' in - bringing out the Brig and two Feluccas, without the loss of a single man : two 'of. the Vessel's having their sails unbent, they were debited,,f?-be towed out, which delayed them till near sffinir• c'klotk ; - the whole of which time they were . -- ..- IF.aander.the I'uemy s Batteries. -.., ~ Lieutenant Norton ' inforths; me the coolness of the Officers, Seamen, and Marines under his command, ,and attention to the orders given, was such as Merit the highest approbation, and that they in every re.; spe& behaved as became British Seamen. • .

I have the honour to inform you of a successful attack having been made by his Majesty's Shins :Arethusa and Anson, on the Enemy, dear the Moro Castle, on the Island of Cnba, on the morning of the • 23d instant. The result has been the capture of the Spanish - , Frigate Pomona, of 38 guns, with a complement of 347 men, and the destruction of twelve Gun'-boats; each carrying a 24-pounder, with a complement - of 100 men each, and the exploSion of a Castle inoutit;. ing sixteen 36-pounders. I trust you will excuse my entering into a detail ' of the service performed ; in justice to the Officerp and men under my orders, I feel it right you'Shdral6 - , be made acquainted with the particulars. On the morning of the 230 inst. I. discovered the, Enemy withln' two miles of the'Moro .

The Gun-boats advanced from her in• a line a-breast., These Boats were sent out expressly to prated the Pornona at her anchorage. This line of defence cer-; . taialy appeared, formidable, added to a lee-shoA7 but difficulties with British seamen ark: easily got:the better of, and well knowing the able and gallant support I should receive from Capt. Lydiard, I de cided instantly to attaa. the, Enemy in their strong position, and bore up for that purpose, having pre- Niously passed a bower cable through the stern port. going down both Ships suffered considerably in their saiis.aud rigging truth the raking fire of the ,Gunlboats, the Pomona and Castle reserving their's mail we alichored. At ten A. M.
