computed to be about 2200, all com
pletely equipped. Four months before
the review, there was not a single or
ganized company in Baltimore. The
brigade marched from the place of pa
rade about four o’clock, “ and entered
• ne city amidst the approbation and
plaudits ol thousands ol spectators.”
The late London papers mention pre
parations lor an armament to take pos
session of the island of Madeira, be
longing to Portugal.
Late accounts mention the marching
ol a French army of 40,000 men to take
possession of Portugal.
New Orlf.ans, Sept. t.
can state that a Spa iish officer
has just reached this city, from C idiz,
via Havanna, who says that news of the
cession of the Floridas to the U. S. was
nv.tr'.e known in Cadiz the day before
he sailed, and that it had been publish
ed in a Madrid Koval (>az,ette. In con
firmation, we further learn, that a letter
has been received by the same officer,
irom Cadiz, to a gentleman of this city,
which states that the Floridas are ced
f,d, and the consideration five millions
oi dollars. We think there is little doubt
of a cession being made.

Yesterday arrived the snip Neptune,
capt.Jeffi ies, GO days from Petersburg!!.
—On the 4th Sept, he stopped at Fdsi
neur, and sailed from tlum e the 5ih.
This place he soil found it the hands of
the Danes, who did duty at the Castle,
though they supposed should Copenha
gen la.ll, they would be obliged to sub
mit also. Here he learned that C open
hagen still held out, and was del rinined
to do so to the last extremity: That th •
British had opened their batteries for 8 j
or ten days previous io his being there: j
1 11 it they cannonaded but little— he< : 1
vaa but little firing in the day; but iW
the night they kept up a continual bom
ba, r v nt: That they had several times
set d.e town of Copenhagen on fire,
Ahich was as often extinguished; Phut
the night before he sailed, (being that of
the 4lh^ the British had again set the
town on fire, which seemed to burn fu
riously as long as captain J. was in sight.
In the Sound he saw above 400 sail of
vessels, viz. men of war, transports, and
vessels detained by the British. He
did not understand that the British had
made- any attempt on Copenhagen by
sea, but depended altogether on their
land troops. One British frigate ap
proaching too near the Crown Batte
ries, was obliged to surrender to the
Danes*
Capt. Jeffries left Pet rsburgh the lat
ter end of August. While there he nei
ther heard nor saw any thing like war
about to commence with England, as
has been reported ; but the British ves
sels, ot which there were a great num
ber at Cronstadt, and the British mer
chants, seemed to be carrying on their
business in every respect as peaceably
as formerly. I lie Russians hi ime the
English for leadihg them into the war,
and say they lost above 100,000 men in
it for no purpose.
