LONDON,
THURSDAY, At Gusr 27.

Summonses were issued, on Tuesday evening,
for a Cabinet Council to meet this day, at two
o'clock.—So long previous notice is vary unusual,
the principal Members of the Cabinet being pre-
semed upon the spot, or in the immediate vicinity
of town. A few hours notice has been accord-
ingly considered sufficient. The departure from
the ordinary routine, upon die present occasion, in-
duces a supposition that the Council is called upon
some business of importance, and it is tweeted that
every Member of the Cabinet will attend this
day.—lt is now very well known, as stared yester-
day in this paper, that two Messengers arrived in
town from the Continent in the course of Monday
night, and that a third Messenger, Mr. Peony-
MAN, arrived on 'Tuesday morning. Mr. o a n-
TOM, our late Minister to Lower Saxony, also ar-
rived on Monday night from Tonningen, which
place he left on the 18th, and Colonel SLATIA•
with dispatches from Lord Huscniesom.—Ot the
contents of the dispatches brought by all these
persons, nothing has transpired. We have
learned nothing from these arrivals, but reports
picked up at Tonningen and Heligoland, of the sur-
render of Copenhagen and the Danish navy to Ad-
miral GA:I use, and these reports we do not find
announced upon any substantial grounds. Silence,
in such cases, is generally considered an unfavoura-
ble symptom, and some persons, though not of the
gloomiest disposition, may have been inclined to
fears las the secrecy in which the contents of so
many dis?atches. have been involved, that our
plans in the Baltic have not succeeded to
our espe•'.a:ions. To dissipate all despondency
and alarm, however, we an told, that the Messen-
gers having been detained by century winds, their
dispatches are all of an old datiss'‘ tied that 13 days
elapsed between the battle of Copealtagen, and the
arrival of dispatches from Lord Nicene, announc-
ing the gloticus result of that encounter. This ar-
gument, however, has ceased to be of much weight.
We are now 17 Jays without any acknowledged ad-
vice, from Admiral GA/4814a ; the left acknowledged
dispatches, from thatoificer, being dated the 10:h.
But if none of these dispatches from the Continent
bring any news of importance, we are totally ate loss
to &moat for the full Cabinet Conical summoned
to meet as this day, astbere does not appear to be
asp other ground-week for it, except the dispetobes
received on Moody night and Tuesday morning.
