CALCUTTA, JAR. 10.
The Reunites aud Coromandel, arrived 013 Sun-
day list, we understand, bring the disagreeable
intelligeen• of the ;Anal Ims of some of thc
vessels employed in the trade from Calcutta to
China, and of several others having Suff•red mart-
terially in a typhoon, late in September, in the
China Seas.

The Phaair and the Vara: are understood to he
lost. The Vulcan, when off the coast of Luconia,
encountered the storm, whiab set in with most de-
sttu&ive •iolence. She was dismasted early in the
g:iht. and being thus rendered unmanageable, and
virprlsed to a very heavy sea, was in ilim'nent dare
g-r of foundering. After remaining four days it
that c9nditinn, the Trafalgar fottunatcly came in
and rendered all the assistance that eras pos-

teas dangtroosly wounded upon the head, and
Mr. Ewen. 1r :second OK.er, had both his legs
br.iken by the fall of the masts. The Lasears were
so much esh nisi. 1 and bruised, that seven of them
died on board Trafalgar. The particulars or the
loss of the Pheqsx ale no' yet received. She is
ta:.l to have upset.

" The ship C/yek,Capt. Burnsides, from Borneo,
arrived on Saturday last. The accounts of the sales
of opium, received from the Eastward, are unfa-

opium, v. hich he sold at Malacca, at 800 dollars

We have received Petit Papers to the 29th last,
and Ducal' to the 4th instant. They contain the
Addresses of the Legislative Body and Tribunate
to Bow AAAAA E ; —the periodical Exposition of the
State of the French Empire ; —Confirmation of the
surrender of Stralsund :—Turkish account of the
defeat of the Tin kish fleet and army by the Rus-
sians t—t!ie Danish Declaration against England ;
and other inteicsting particulars respeding the
Expedition to the Baltic, including the cap-
ture of Heligoland, &c. The extent of our ex-
ceeds from the French and Dutch papers has not
lett us room for many observations. In the Ad-
dress of the Legislative Body, Bos•eARTI is
styled " not so much the Conqueror, as the
Pacificator of Europe." It alludes to the in-
terview on the Niemen, between him and the Em-
peror of Russia.-" when," it says " I NO boats re-
ceived two Emperors, and with them the future des-
tiny of the woad, and the two greatest Savereigns
on earth met each other upon a raft." So far
honourable mention is made of the Emperor of
RUSSIA. but in the Exposition of the state of the na-
tion we find a different language. Here BONA•
e•are, speaking for himself, assumes a higher
tone. Ile affeds nothing less than universal em-
pire. " Paris, corresponding with its destina-
tion, must become the metropolis of the world."
The woil.l is no longer to be divided between the
Emorror of the North Emperar of the West As it
has but one sun, so aisaa it have but one Emperor
and accordingly &taunting that Russia and Tut key are
now consolidated ei'th. and become integral parts
of, France, ne boasts that "the arms of France have
been carried to the farthest extremities of Europe,
its halao.ce extended herald the Bosphorus, and
into t::e centre of the c .ntinent of Asia." France
bei-o desCribed as the mistress of the world,
of cc a is ner external relatioas vanish from the eye.
id toe Exposition is principally confined to her in-
nal affairs. lie desires "that in future there shall
b ne setts among the learned ; that there shall no
longer be any pieties' parties in the state. He
wishes that criticism should maintain resped ford e-
ceney, in order to be useful ; and that men who are
called to the sublime office of enlightening and im-
proving the community, should despite idieflatteep."
He does not wish, it scents, that France should, like
England, be pitied for its liberty of the press, and
freedom of debate. He would reserve all that, as
well as all 66 idle flattery," for himself, and share
none with his " great and good people." There are
also one or two other passages, which attrad notice
by their falsehood. It charges England with
having 6' precipitated Prussia i..to the late war,
contrary to the judgment of the Ministers,
and very possibly against the wishes of the
King ;" whereas it is notorious that Prussia,
far from being under the influence of England at
the time, was aiding hostilely against her ; and, as
to the boast of 14 ships on the stocks at Antwerp, it
has been recently ascertained, that there are only
eight in that harbour, of which five are building.
The latest accounts in these Papers, from Den-
mark, are dated Kid, the Stith, and bring down the
events at Copenhagen only to the 18th. They
state, that three regiments have been thrown into
Zealand from Holstein, and a hope, that farther re.
lief may be received from the island of Fuhnen, to
which the passage from Jutland remains still
open. The Militia, in Zealand. is said to con-
sist of nineteen battalions, and Copenhagen
provided with privisions for six months. They
add, that the garrison made a sortie, and burned
the suburb of NVesterbrug, ender cover of which
the English had begun ta throw op works, in
which the lea of the Danes was three killed, and
twenty-two wounded ; of the English, fifty killed,
and fifty .rounded. We know, however, from
/Urn :al Gs ostea's dispatches, that this is an
-xaggeratton. The Danish Declaration states,
I that tha demand made by England was a violation
of the saw of nations, which left Denmark no choice
but a war, to else alliance with England. It
therefute appeals to the Cabinets of Europe, whose
Nab. old alliancesmay have been the ground of this
proceeding by England; and Bora A it A ere answering
this a?peal, has promised that Denmark shall want
neither men nor money. Men he will certainly give.
fie will snatch his troops into Holoein, and take
possco:on of that Duchy. The part of his promise
respeding the money, he will, probably, find
convenient to forget. The Declaration, however,
does not assert that the attempts apprehended
by England were not in contemplation. It inetely
states that England had no proof, but afted upon
a mare a umour. We see no reason to doubt the
account of the viitories of the Russians over the
T.irLs It is from Constantinople; but these Tido.

ries are now of no value to Russia. Stralsund sue.
rendered at discretion. There was no cap:tolation.
The Km* had previously withdrawn with the
garrison. BOWAPART6 declares, that His SWeDISH
MAJMITY shall never again set his foot in Pome-

No dispatches had arrived from Admiral GAM-
ante when this Paper wss put to press. The reports

The Prince •r fraries Packet, Captain TODD,
arrived ca Saturday at Falmouth, in 13 days from
Usbon, with mails and dispatches. The latter
were brought by a Portuguese Messenger to the
Portal:Guess AMBASSADOR. The private accounts,
received by the mails, state, that the Spaniards
have made a demand of the Portuguese Government
of the immediate equipment of 10 sail of the line,
three of which were getting ready when tir^ packet
s sited. This demand has no doubt been made by
Spain, at the instigation of France. and furnishes a
fresh instance of the perfidy of BONA, ARTS, who
extorts large stun; from Puttngal, as the price of
his forbearance, and thus cintrives to rob her of
the purchase, by making Spain the agent of his
hostility. The Portuguese Government, in com-
pliance with this demand, had sent orders to the
arsenal, at Lisbon, to repair and equip the follow-
ing vessels

Three of the above are very much out of repair ;
and, in the present mi.erable state of the Portuguese
arsenals, it will require many moir.hs before these
vessels e he equipped and ready for sea. At the
time of the departure of the packet,' the report
which has been circulated here of an embargo having
been laid upon the Portuguese vessels in the French
ports, had not reaL I,ed Lisbon, nor could any eon.

We have received Calcutta and other East India
papers to the Ist of February last, from which we
have made some extrads. The Booriam Courier
of the sth January states. in addition to last
night's G,,ertte account of the capture of the
French privateer Leo Dome Swore, that her Captain
and 32 of her men were brought in prisoners, and
the remainder dialed their escape to the Island of
Cheduba, where they were protected by the Rajah.
