then moon-light, four liglAlrs, contail.itig about
sixty or seventy font soldiers, completely armed,
and having their officers with them, were descried
approaching the Holstein shore. Upon Cis, the
Commanding Officer of the Danish Chasseurs, ac-
companied by the hussars, and all his men, whom
he ranged in a line along the beach, hailed the
French Officer in his own language, and informed
him, " that at the territory was neutral, and &lunged to
Kis DANISH MAJESTY, any violation that might i,e at.
templid, he had orders from his SOVEREIGN to reinthe
.fr,re .f OPIUM" The Frenchmen, after mutter-
ing a confus.ml short reply, which could not be
understood, remained a few minutes longer, and,
with great difficulty, obtained some refreshments.
in gin, brandy, bread, and cheese, for his men ; after
which he sailed back to Harburgh.

A third private letter from—Hamburgh, of the
same date, says " The men, who plundered the
English and Hanoverian messengers of their dis-
patches on the Mecklenburgh territory, were mount-
ed French Chasseurs, of the ri-deount regiment of
Alsace, encamped near Luneburgh, who all speak
the German language. They wore their full accou-
trements ; but their regimentals were covered with a
great coat, like a farmer's frock, and, instead of their
uniform caps, they had on their heads large German
hats. The Chief of these banditti was an officer
of Bon•r•azt's guard, who had been in waiting
for the English messenger near a week. It is said
here, that this officer's name is Jur rats, or Jura !I A ;
that he is the same person who last June seized the
bag of English letters in their way from Berlin to
Warta'', and that he is the second, under FOUCH
in the internal and executive haul pairs. Ten years
ago, though only seventeen years of age, he was an
:valve and cruel terrorist under Ro nest resat, and
caused several hundred persons to be murdered at
B-urdeaux in 1794. 1 have heard it reported here,
that rAL LEY R AND and Foust+ had seen, from Sir
GEORGE. RUMIOLD'S papers, that a messenger with
some dispatches of great consequence was soon to
be expeCted from England, which WAS the cause of
this at of outrage. I have been in company with
several French officers from the garrison of Har-
burgh, who pride themselves upon the adroitness
of their ftry.l-nnicnt to pc:.2trate into the secrets
11 of all cabinets ; ono of them, a Lieutenant-Colonel,

told use, that the English messenger was ex-
peeled to bring with him same new instrulions to
the British ambassadors boat in Russia and
Prussia, as the negociations between England and
these countries and courts had, since the capture of
the Spanish frigates, taken a new and unforeseen
turn.' He added, should we possess these inte-
resting documents. they will soon appear in the
Afaaitear as found am mg the papers of Sir Geoaor.
Ru aot.n ; and who can prove the contrary ?'
Without giving implicit faith to die boasting of
this gasconader, his assertion, though indiscreet,
is not destitute of probability, and may prove ti ue.
Both the Prussian and Danish Ministers here have
already demanded from their courts piquet: of
light troops, to escort their couriers front station
to station."

A Cabinet Council sat yesterday at Lord HMl-
nor/Ws Office, Downing-street. It was att-ndad
