" Several vessels are gone to Ramsgate, with the

Tim arrival of the Danish Navy is hourly e:-
peeled; they were to sail about the 15th. A fleet
of fifty vessels bad been previously dispatched with
stores ; fourteen only of which, we believe, have
yet arrived. The weather was tempt stuotti during
the passage ; but we have not beard of any of the
fleet having suffered.

Paper of yesterday states, that some individuals,

within the last few days from one of the highe:t com-

expressing the opinion of the vat itor, that there is miry

this result are out, h :we ver, so sanguine in America.
The letters which came to band on Wednesday
from Barton. are full of complaints against the Go-
vernment of the United States, for provoking a war
with Great Britain. the consequences of which they
clearly percLive, would be attencied with the greatest
evils to Cteir trade. The fears of the Bostonians
are strongly exemplified in their condaa with re-
gard to the ship which brought these letters ; she
was insured at Boston. and `.30 gui.teas per cent.
were scarcely considered a sorricit.:lt Premium. But
this is not all, t:.c ship was In ice uttladen, before

pethaps, be the ground which has furnished the
ilamburgh journals with there speculattons. It is
stow ascertsisted. that when the Grand Amy

farther suhjugati.ws of the Continent, and that
the invasion rt. England was only a pretence. If
he viral.: aa that farce over again with effeet, he
ruu.t bring it cut with new scenery and decorations,
and upon a r.ew stage. It was probably fit this
purpose he meant to put the Danish marine hi M.
quisition, and to organise a re-v Northern Confede-
racy ; but as the piece has been spoiled in the re-
hearsal, ue shill pro:sably bear no more of it for
some time. These insismations in the German
Papers, however, while they do not commit
Bore A rAere, have their use. In Germany, where
the Engli.h Journals are so striSly interdided, and
men are at the mercy of Bom A aaaaa 'seditoss, these
publications may serve to keep the people in awe, by
tmpressing them with an idea, that in a short time
nothiog will remain to. check or controls' thepower
of France over the globe. The accounts from Co.
renbagen represent the British troops going into
winter quarters; and it • sterns to be the general
upinron, that they would not evacuate Zealood.
