Latest from Europe.
That sailing ship Swift, the editors of the N. Y. Gazette have received London papers to the 7th ult. inclusive, and Lloyd's List to the 4th. They contain the subsequent extracts.
The London papers contain but little on the subject of American affairs, as we are to believe private letters, from commercial houses at Liverpool, no material alteration of public opinion had taken place relative to our dispute with that country. The Revenge had arrived at Falmouth the 28th of August, via Brest, and Mr. Munroe had presented the dispatches to the British government, but nothing of an official complexion had appeared in the public prints.
An embargo had been laid in England on all Danish vessels, and on all shipping bound to the Baltic.
A letter from Liverpool mentions, that all American vessels loaded in the Baltic for Holland had been seized.
His Swedish majesty had announced the blockade of the rivers Reene and Oder, and the ports of Swedish Pomerania.
LONDON, Sept. 1.
An order of council was published in Saturday's Gazette, prohibiting all vessels belonging to his majesty's subjects from entering or clearing out for any of the ports within the dominions of the king of Denmark until further orders; that a general embargo be laid on all Danish vessels in English ports; and that Danish vessels fallen in with on the high seas be detained.
The official dispatches from the commander of the expedition against Copenhagen were also published in Saturday's Gazette. It appears from the Journal of the military operations, transmitted by Lord Cathcart, that very little opposition was offered to the investment of the town. In the course of eight days the loss of the British troops, officers and soldiers, amounted to four killed and two wounded. The German legion, the returns of which are wanting, having been solely engaged in the only two affairs of importance might have suffered more, but as in the principal of these the Danes were taken by surprise, the loss was probably not considerable. The post of Roekilde, in front of which a sharp affair took place on the 20th fell into our possession on the 22d. The preparations for bombarding Copenhagen on the land side, were considerably advanced on the 21st, and would it was supposed be completed in two or three days after, when, notwithstanding the failure of the recommendation made to the commanding general on that day, the garrison would again be summoned to surrender. It is obvious from the little resistance made to the advance of our army, and the destruction of batteries, that the account of the Danish force in Copenhagen has been much exaggerated in the Danish and German journals.
If general Peyman could have brought any thing like 11,000 regulars into the field exclusive of the militia, we should not, however great the exertions and bravery of our troops, have been able completely to invest the town on the day of the disembarkation of a part only of our forces.
With means so obviously inadequate to successful resistance, it is hardly to be expected that the governor of Copenhagen will resolve upon a protracted defence, and expose it to the horrors of a bombardment. We rather think that he will open a negotiation when he finds that the preparations for attacking the town on the land side are completed, and agree to the surrender of the fleet upon the terms stated in the British proclamation. It is possible, however, that for the purpose of preventing the occupation of Holstein by the French, and impressing them with an opinion that he was sincere in his resistance, and had carried it as far as possible, the crown prince (who in fact comprises within himself the whole power of the Danish government) might have determined upon sacrificing the fleet.
A report, said to be founded on letters received from Holland, is very current in the city that the bombardment of Copenhagen commenced on the 23d ult. and was continued until the 25th, when the town and the whole of the Danish navy was surrendered by capitulation.
September 3.
SURRENDER OF STRALSUND. Intelligence has been received of the surrender of Stralsund to the French. The Swedish troops it is said retreated to Rugen.
The voyage of the Revenge was protracted in consequence of her having received orders to put into Brest before she went to England with dispatches for the American minister at Paris. She arrived at Falmouth the 20th of August.
The dispatches by the Revenge cutter, from America, were on Thursday presented to Mr. Canning by Mr. Munroe, the Ambassador from the U. S. The surgeon of the Chesapeake is arrived in the Revenge for the purpose of giving an ample description of the whole of the affair between the Leopard and that ship.
We have it from good authority to say, that the government of America, in their instructions to Mr. Munroe, have desired him positively to insist on our relinquishing the right of searching any of their vessels for men, whatever their rank or condition may be.—They do not require us to give up our right of search for merchandise: but they declare, they will never permit any of their vessels, whether ships of war or merchantmen, to have their men taken out, after they have left their ports.—Report says our ministers are only allowed four days to consider of these terms.
Government, we understand, have taken up transports to carry between 6 and 8,000 tons of ammunition and other military stores, for another secret expedition. This quantity is proportioned to as large a force as the expedition to the Baltic.
September 6.
Dispatches have arrived from lieutenant lord Cathcart and vice-admiral Gambier, by which it appears that lord Cathcart joined the admiral on the 12th ult. that, on the 19th, Mr. Taylor, his majesty's minister at the court of Copenhagen, having left that city upon the Danish government having declined to enter into an amicable arrangement, it was determined to land the army early on the morning of the 14th; but owing to contrary winds the ships of war and transports could not be brought up to the place of embarkation until late on the morning of the 15th: early, however, on the morning of the 16th, the army was disembarked at a village called Wisbeck, about ten miles north of Copenhagen, without any opposition. Lord Roslin, with the troops from Stralsund, had arrived on the 4th off Moss Island. When the disembarkation of the troops was completed, a proclamation by the commander in chief of his majesty's land and sea forces was issued declaring to the inhabitants of Zealand the circumstances under which they had felt themselves compelled to proceed to the disembarkation of the army.
September 7.
The Swan cutter, licut. Luce, arrived at Yarmouth yesterday morning, from the Baltic, with further dispatches from admiral Gambier.
The arrival of the dispatches gave rise to a variety of gloomy rumours in the city, of our having sustained great loss in a battle with the Danes.
The Swan left the fleet on the 23d of August, at which time they were laying about four miles off the Crown Batteries. The troops, amounting to 30,000 men, had been landed, as already stated, without any opposition. Their advanced guards are within two miles of Copenhagen, where a heavy battery has been formed, consisting of fifty 24 pounders, which was intended to be opened on the town the following day. It was expected that the general attack would commence in the course of a week or 10 days, when, after having effected a breach, the troops were to storm, and the fleet at the same time to engage the batteries, which are very strong.
A detachment of the German troops, under the command of gen. Dekken, attacked and carried the Royal Foundry, which is situated about eight miles from Copenhagen. It was defended by a major and 280 men, all of whom were made prisoners. The Danes collected a small force at a place called Boescheld, & appeared for a short time determined to make a stand; but upon the approach of our troops they retreated with precipitation. Some gun boats of the enemy were also compelled to retreat. Our whole loss upon these occasions consisted of 3 artillery men and 2 officers, lieutenant Lyons and ensign Dickenson. At the Foundry our troops took possession of a great number of cannon and a considerable quantity of ammunition.
The enemy made a sort on the 19th of Aug. with 200 men, but were repulsed with trifling loss on our part. The army have taken 40 waggon loads of ammunition on the 18th, destined for the supply of Copenhagen, and 14 more on the 21st.
But the more important article brought
by the Swan is, that the French general Brune is at Copenhagen, and busied in the defence of the place.
A proclamation has been issued by adm. Gambier, which, we are surprized to see, denounces military rigor against those of the inhabitants of Zealand who may be found defending their country.
We are sorry to announce the capture of Stralsund. This information, we understand, has been brought by the Swan cutter, arrived at Yarmouth; but we have not learnt any particulars. It is, however, stuck up at Lloyd's.
September 8.
Letters received this morning from Holland of the 30th ult. state, that Copenhagen, together with the fleet of 20 sail, surrendered after a bombardment on the 24th. Letters from Hamburg of the 28th, and Dutch papers of the 2d inst. are silent on the subject.
Letters from Holland of the 3d inst. state that all kind of communication between this country and Holland is now put a stop to; not even a passage boat is suffered to leave the Dutch ports.
We have it from good authority that the number of our troops employed in the Baltic, has been greatly exaggerated. 22,000 men including the German legion, is the real amount of our force there.
Accounts received in town leave us no room to doubt of the hostile disposition of Russia. British subjects were absolutely insulted in the streets of St. Petersburg. As some compensation however, Lord Gower had succeeded in getting the subsidy reshipped, and as they say in Scotland, "We maun tak' the bit and buffit wi't."
A letter from Constantinople, dated 20th June confirms the statement of the Moniteur, that the Divan had resolved not to receive the new English ambassador. A message was accordingly sent to him to prevent him from entering the capital. He also received notice, that no proposition from his courts would be listened to until the English had entirely evacuated Egypt, and withdrawn their cruisers from that part of the Mediterranean.
BOSTON, OCTOBER 10.
Capt. Campbell, who arrived here yesterday, from Passamaquoddy, (Shoebick) informs us that, before he sailed, he learnt from gentlemen of respectability of Shoebick, that the British express cutter, the Sylvia, of 10 guns, which carried out admiral Berkeley's dispatches, had returned to Halifax, in the short passage of 20 days, bringing the interesting intelligence, That ALL THE POINTS in dispute between the U. States and G. Britain had been AMICABLY SETTLED—and, That a CESSION OF HOSTILITIES had taken place between England and France.

NEW PAMPHLET.
We have just received by mail (says the New-York Evening Post of Monday last) a highly interesting pamphlet, written by Joseph Hamilton Duvall, Esq. of Kentucky, the object of which is to convict Mr. Jefferson of extreme remissness in regard to the BURN and WILKINSON Conspiracy.—We have no room here for extracts; but the following one is too interesting to be omitted:
"TO GENERAL WILKINSON."
You feel deeply aggrieved, no doubt, by this pamphlet. Sir, the courts are open to you; and that you may have no difficulty in selecting the actionable words, I now state—"That you have been for years a pensioner of Spain, and have held a secret intelligence with that power; and you were engaged in Burr's conspiracy and deserted him."
JOSEPH HAMILTON DUVAL. Corsland, 22d May, 1807.
A letter from Liverpool of Sept. 9th to a mercantile house in this city, contains the following:
"Letters from London speak to a certainty of matters being settled between this country and America. Messrs. Munro and Pinckney have had an audience with the Cabinet Council, and all is put straight again. The present ministry are more favourable to America than the last."
[New-York Mer. Adv.]
The Triumph, Capt. Sir T. Hardy, the Leopard, Capt. Mumpfreys, and
the Hamilton tender, have sailed for Halifax. The ships now on this station are the Bellona, and Ville de Milan.
[Norfolk paper.]
Commodore Barron, we understand, has so recovered from his late severe illness, as to be able to attend the court, which stands adjourned to the 23d inst. It will not be in our power to furnish our readers with any of the proceedings that may take place, it being contrary to usage to make public any part of them until the enquiry has terminated. ibid.
We understand that the Post Master General has resigned. It is supposed Col. Patterson of Philadelphia may be his successor. [Aurora.]
The legislature of Connecticut have made choice of the hon. Samuel W. Dana, as a Senator in the Congress of the United States, in the place of the hon. Uriah Tracy, deceased.
The election in the state of New Jersey concluded on the 16th inst. The Federalists have obtained a majority in both houses of the legislature; of course that state will, at the next meeting of the legislature, have a federal governor.
Captain Bird, from Lisbon, informs, that Bonaparte had collected an army of 30 or 40,000 men, under the title of an army of Portugal, at Bayonne; that he had made a demand of a large sum of money, on the Portuguese, which they, unable or unwilling, had refused to furnish; and that in consequence thereof, the inhabitants of Lisbon were in hourly expectation of hearing that the French had begun their march for that city. (Phil. pap.)
From the N. Y. Evening Post.
The editor of the American Citizen, (a democratic paper) taking notice of the infamous attacks made by certain democratic papers, on chief justice Marshall, has expressed himself in a manner that does him infinite credit. After extracting a scandalous paragraph from a Baltimore paper entitled the Whig, he goes on thus:
"Surely proof more ample than his patience, than his copious and elaborate opinions, is necessary to warrant this audacious assault on the chief justice of the supreme Court of the United States.—What has become of the order and decorum, the sober reflection and the sedate reasoning, for which the U. S. are distinguished, when this violence and outrage can pass without notice."
After several proper remarks he concludes thus:
"If, however, I may be allowed to express my opinion, it is that the chief justice is not the real object of attack, but that in Baltimore, Philadelphia and New-York, a combination of a few men (and they are very few) exists to throw off the old and introduce a new order of things. I make no pretensions to the character of a prophet, but I beg the reader to bear the remark in mind. For the present I will only add that I stand on my old ground; that I have an eye on some bad men of our party in the other states, who are co-operating with a few dupes in this city, and that in due time I will expose them. The people at large know but little of what is now doing, and perhaps it is well that they do not."
A TORF CAVOUR!—During the revolutionary war, general Clinton, the British commander, issued a proclamation encouraging a trading intercourse with the farmers, and offering such as availed themselves of it, protection. Under this proclamation, a Mr. Ball, of Elizabethtown, New Jersey, came to New-York with produce, and having finished his business, returned from the enemy's lines to his native place Elizabethtown. Returning he was seized at Bergen Point by Cornelius Hatfield, and a precious group of Tories. Hatfield, without trial and without delay, conducted Mr. Ball to a tree, where he hung him! At the peace, Hatfield fled to Nova Scotia, where he has remained until within a few weeks.
It appears that some of the relations of Hatfield have lately died and left property, and that Hatfield, about two weeks ago returned from Nova Scotia to New-York to claim it. Apprehensive, however, for his safety, recollecting no doubt the crime of which he had been guilty, Hatfield, on his arrival at Newark, kept himself snug; finding that he could not settle his affairs without going at large, he appeared in public, and was recognized by a daughter of Mr. Ball, who applied to the proper authority, and

in arrested Hatfield is now in jail at Newark, charged with murdering Mr. Ball, and his trial will shortly take place. The case is not a difficult one. Andre, who was confessedly a spy, went thro' the regular forms of trial and was executed by the sentence of a court martial. On the worst supposition Mr. Ball could not have been viewed in a light more odious than that of major Andre. But Ball had no trial; a few moments only elapsed between his being apprehended and executed. Hatfield was a Tory. He hanged Mr. Ball without hesitation, and robbed him when he was hung!
"Murder, though it has no tongue, Will speak with most miraculous or- gan." From the perpetration of the deed to the present time, many years have elapsed but the villain is caught at last. [New-York Herald]
From the New-York Herald. Burr's Case. — The evidence comes out on a motion to commit the accused in order to his being sent to the place for trial where the overt act is acknowledged to have been committed. In the former indictment there is an error as to place; and the court having determined that the evidence must support the fact as laid—the motion now before the court is to send Burr to another district.
This motion has been opposed by Burr and his counsel on several grounds; one, that he has been acquitted and cannot be tried twice for the same offence; another, that the object of the testimony, as opened, would be to connect him with Blannerhasset, and thus implicate him as an accessory, but they insist that the principal must first be convicted before any evidence can be heard as to the accessory.
As to the first, the answer given is that here has in fact been no acquittal, for there has been no trial; no evidence having been given of the crime when it was committed.
As to the second, it is denied that Blannerhasset is the principal. For the present we gratify our readers with the following short extract from the speech of Mr. Wirt, one of the counsel for the prosecution; drawing the characters of the two men. Whether the style of this speech is strictly of that species of forensic eloquence, most proper for the Bar, we will not decide. Those familiar with the eloquence of the late Lord Chancellor of England and still more with the celebrated Curran, will immediately recognize the resemblance, and may possibly think with us, that the American Barrister does not suffer in the comparison with either.
EXTRACT. "Who then is Aaron Burr and what the part which he has borne in this transaction? He is its author; its projector; its active executor. Bold, ardent, restless and aspiring, his brain conceived it; his hand brought it into action. Beginning his operations in New-York he associates with him men whose wealth is to supply the necessary funds. Possessed of the main spring, his personal labour contrives all the machinery. Pervading the continent from New-York to New-Orleans, he draws into his plan by an allurements, which he can contrive, men of all ranks and all descriptions. To youthful ardour he presents danger and glory; to ambition, rank and titles and honours; to avarice, the mines of Mexico. To each person whom he addresses, he presents the objects adapted to his taste; his recruiting officers are appointed; men are engaged throughout the continent; civil life is indeed quiet upon its surface; but in its bosom this man has contrived to deposit the materials with which the slightest touch of his match produces an explosion to shake the continent. All this his restless ambition has contrived; and in the autumn of 1806 he goes forth for the last time, to apply this match. On this excursion he meets with Blannerhasset."
Who is Blannerhasset? A native of Ireland, a man of letters, who fled from the storms of his own country to find quiet in ours. His history shews that war is not the natural element of his mind; if it had been, he would never have exchanged Ireland for America. So far is an army from furnishing the society natural and proper to Mr. Blannerhasset's character, that on his arrival in America, he retired even from the population of the Atlantic States, and sought quiet solitude in the bosom of our Western forests. But he carried with him taste and science and wealth; and "to the desert smiled." Possessing him
self of a beautiful Island in the Ohio, he rears upon it a palace and decorates it with every romantic embellishment of fancy. A shrubbery that Shenstone might have envied, blooms around him; music that might have charmed Calypso and her nymphs, is his; an extensive library spreads its treasures before him; a philosophical apparatus offers to him all the secrets and mysteries of nature; peace, tranquility and innocence shed their mingled delights around him; and to crown the enchantments of the scene, a wife, who is said to be lovely even beyond her sex, and graced with every accomplishment that can render it irresistible, had blessed him with her love, and made him the father of her children—the evidence would convince you, sir, that this is but a faint picture of the real life. In the midst of all this peace, this innocence, and this tranquility, this feast of the mind, this pure banquet of the heart—the destroyer comes—he comes to turn this paradise into a hell—yet the flowers do not wither at his approach and no monotony shuddering through the bosom of their unfortunate possessors warns them of the ruin that is coming upon them. A stranger presents himself. Introduced to their civilities by the high rank which he had lately held in this country, he soon finds his way to their hearts by the dignity and elegance of his demeanor, the light and beauty of his conversation, and the seductive and fascinating power of his address. The conquest was not a difficult one. Innocence is ever simple and credulous; conscious of no designs itself, it suspects none in others; it wears no guards before its breast; every door and portal and avenue of the heart is thrown open, and all who choose it enter. Such was the state of Eden, when the serpent entered its bowers. The prisoner in a more engaging form, winding himself into the open and unpractised heart of the unfortunate Blannerhasset, found but little difficulty in changing the native character of that heart and the objects of its affection. By degrees he infuses into it the poison of his own ambition; he breathes into it the fire of his own courage; a daring and a desperate thirst for glory; an ardor panting for all the storms and battle and hurricane of life. In a short time the whole man is changed, and every object of his former delight relinquished. No more he enjoys the tranquil scene; it has become flat and insipid to his palate; his books are abandoned; his retort and crucible are thrown aside; his shrubbery blooms and breathes its fragrance upon the air in vain—he likes it not; his ear no longer drinks the rich melody of music; it longs for the trumpet's clangor and the cannon's roar: even the prattle of his babes, once so sweet, no longer affects him; and the angel smiles of his wife which hitherto touched his bosom with ecstasy so unspeakable, are now unfelt and unseen. Greater objects have taken possession of his soul—his imagination has been dazzled by visions of diadems, and stars and garters and titles of nobility; he has been taught to burn with restless emulation at the names of Cromwell, Cæsar and Bonaparte. His enchanted island is destined soon to relapse into a desert; and in a few months we find the tender and beautiful partner of his bosom whom he lately "permitted not the winds of summer" to visit too roughly, "we find her shivering, at midnight, on the winter bank of the Ohio, and mingling her tears with the torrents that froze as they fell. Yet this unfortunate man, thus deluded from his interest and his happiness—thus seduced from the paths of innocence and peace—thus confounded in the toils which were deliberately spread for him, and overwhelmed by the mastering spirit and genius of another—this man, thus ruined and undone, and made to play a subordinate part in this grand drama of guilt and treason—this man is now to be called the principal offender; while he, by whom he was thus plunged and steeped in misery, comparatively innocent—a mere accessory! Sir, neither the human heart nor the human understanding will bear a perversion so monstrous and absurd; so shocking to the soul; so revolting to reason. O! no, Sir. There is no man who knows any thing of this affair who does not know that to every body concerned in it AARON BURR was as the sun to the planets which surround him; he bound them in their respective orbits and gave them their light, their heat, and their motion. Let him not then shrink from the high destination which he has courted; and having already ruined Blannerhasset in fortune, character and happiness as forever, attempt to finish the tragedy by thrusting that ill-fated man between himself and punishment."
SONNET.—By Anna Seward. Short is the time the oldest being lives, Nor has longevity one hour to waste; Life's duties are proportioned to the time haste With which it fleets away; each day receives Its task, that if neglected, surely gives The morrow double toil—Ye, who have pass'd In idle sport the days that fled so fast, Days, that no Grief recalls, nor care retrieves, At length beware, and think, that of the part Remaining in that vital period given, How short the date, and at the prospect start, Ere to the extremest verge your steps be driv'n! Nor let a moment unimprov'd depart, But view it as the latest gift of Heav'n.
