LON DON,
SATURDAY, ()crests 10.

At a late hour last night we received llamburgh
and Alton• papers to the 20th of Sept. Great
pains are taken to inflame the public mind in
Denmark against England, and for this purpose
the most violent Proclamations and Addresses are
d.stsibuted through that country. The French en-
courage and foment this hostile spirit, and mast
succeed in their endeavours, as the Danish Govern.
ment is evidently under their entire influznce. Ac.
counts from St. Petersburgh, of the 29th of Augur,
states that a great quantity of artillery has been
sent to Cronstadt, and that the Eine Ron has shewn
great anxiety to place that harbour iu a good state
of defence. Later accounts from the Main add, that
the Russian troops, on their march from Poland,
bad been ordered to the coast of the Baltic, the whole
of which is threatened by the Engli.h.

Letters, of the 19th, from Hamburgh, repeat the
report of the occupation of Fiume and Trice, by
the French, but the Vienna accounts of the 9th are
silent upon the stihjea. The Earl of PEN aaone had
taken leave of the Emperor of AUST CIA, preparatory
to his return to England, but Mr. /Milk was to re-
main behind, a; British Envoy. These papers also
contain the plan of the Constitution of the new
Kingdom of Westphalia.

We this day give a Copy of the Prussian Pro-
clamation, interdifling all trade, dire Sly and indi-
redly, between the ports of that country and Eng-
land and her colonies, in Britids or neutral ships,
and their entrance into a Prussian port, under any
circumstances, nr upon any pretence whatsoever.
This measure is for the purpose of carrying igto
elfad one of the stipulations of the Treaty of Tilsit.
It is dated Memel, the td of September, and states
that it has been delayed until that date, to enable
Prussian vessels in British ports at the sham of the
Treaty, nr on the Seas, to return hose in safay,
which Pbjoa has been accompli.hesl.—The letters
from Memel, which transmitted the Proclamvion
to this country, state, we understand, that Bona.

We have made some eirtratts from a new series
of New York papers which we have received,
though none of them are of tater date than those
which braved on Tuesday night. They are in.
teresting, however, so far as they chew the spirit of
the country, and of parry writers. Among the
preparatiol s making in contemplrt on of a rupture
with this country, an event confidently predicted by
these writers, we find a proposition at Richmond
for raising a Volunteer Brigade, eonsi tins of four
Regiments, to serve during the war, should hos.
titities take place. This proje3, it is said, has re.
ceived the sassai.n of the pir,per authorities, and
differs from the other Volunteer Associatines,
)mmended by Government, in the eaten ion of
the service to the whole length- of Cie war,
the others are limited to twelve months.

Capt. GORDON arri►ed. yesterday, at the Aden:.
rally, with dibpatches from Admiral Lord Costae's.
wooD. The Admiral, oar readers will ter 'lied,
sailed with a squadron for Constantinr•ple, and had
arri►ed off that city. The nature of the dispatches
did not transpire; but they are supposed to be im-
pnrtant. They were taken into consideration by a
Ca!,inet Council.

Dispatches were received last morning from Rear
Admiral Puevis, who, in the absence of Lord Cot.

CO TENT-0 ARDRIR.
Last night, Mr. Jost:, of very great Irish cele-
brity. made his deiut in the part of Goldfinch, in Mr.
Becomes's Comedy of "The Read to Ruin," and
ferderirk, in the Farce of " Of 4e To-Morrow."
bir. JONAS was received, on his entre, with all the
liberality and cheering kindness of a London audi-
ence. He appears about six and twenty years of
I
middle size, figure, light and airy, face, not
I andsome, but expressive and pleasing ; his voice,
in speaking, clear and strong ; has great vivacity and
proper confidence. It
dirk, and does not wain
vas an arduous undertaking to follow Mr. Lewis
end Mr. BANNISTER in two such favourite parts as
Ggajihth and Frodrrich ; and a performer must pos-
sess nn common talents, who received the approba-
-600, from a very elegant and crowded audience,
that crnwned the debut of last night. He played
Gipf,ch after the manner of Mr. Lewis, and was
very successful in giving the strong pbints of the
part, accompanied by the tones of his prototype.
T.e last scene, however, in which he exclaims,
Duo, yea ore dished ! did not produce its
mud effect. Ge/dfiheh is such a caricature, and
fr,daich so _complete a part in Mapierade, they
do not Afford a fair criterion by which to judge of
the powers and merits of an adlor. We are, how-
ever, inclined to think very favourably of Mr.
jpiu, and to consider him a very great acquisition
to the Ti,ratre. Mrs. Maetoces's Widow Warren
is out af the richest pieces of colouring cn the
Stage. She was elegantly dressed, and looked the
chestier well. Miss Noarom was an inimitable
SOW ; and Mr.. blusners's Old LAP Wm is above
praise. The vrkole went off with great spirit.
Mrs. C. Leung resumed her favourite part of
in the Farce, and sang and danced.% itti ail
brr usual vivacity.
