Dispittehes were received, yesterday, at the Ad-
miralty, from Admirals GA se e'en and STAMM
The intelligence which they have brought is eon-
sidered very satisfallory by Ministers. Our Meet
trt; left cruising of Elsineur, waiting for our
t ;rifts, with the troops ; and the army in
Copenhagen did not exceed four thousand men.
•this intelligence strengthens the opinion which we
base uaiformly entertained, that the veto's of the
force, as well military as naval, which lately left our
Eastern ports, is destined for Zuland.

arrernment, yesterday, received dispatches from
cape of Good Hope.

The Telegraph. at the Admiralty, WAS busily
,yed, yesterday? communicating with the se•
„toping', and the greate;t aelivity prevailed in
tPe several offices. Mr. Ct.vut. a Messenger, was
ordered with diNpatches to Plymouth.

The 7th and sth regiments of Foot were all em•
baked at littll,on Sunday, and du:Transports which
lard them on hoard got under way. These two regi-
rtratS had crossed the country, by forced marches,
Isom Liverpool, having landed there from Dub-
; and on their a7rival at Hull, went immediately
en bond ti.e ships. The men seemed in gri.tat 'pi-

A Gutenburgh Mail arrived yesterday. It
Itas brutigl:t an official accnunt of the military opt-
TAnns at S.r.ilsund to the 22 i List. Toe British
tronps did duty for the frst time. and occupied the
"rt.. within that fortress, on the Clst. Lord C4r H-
esse. nn the same day, left Stralsund for Itugen,
vres;e* the British troops on that island, who, with
,)e 9.wei-s in that place, are, ir, future, to be nom-
minded by General Baron Tots..

Ut, this day, resume our exrraes from the Pa-
pers tnonght by the Tonningen Mail, which arrived
•n .nday Night, and also from rho French and
Darn J .3' nals, the former to the V.J, and the lat-
ter to tht• btii inst. It will be seen in them, that
P•assia has been stript by the Treity of Tilsit, of a
(oh hall of her dominions, in rerped of extent,

rerea•n, and pep:dation.
A Rlssian Officer, arrived at Milan on the 13th
lair, brought orders from his Sovereign for the
(tuition of hostilities between the Turks and Rus-
sixth in the Adriatic and lediterranean.

floisaisatz, not content with revolutionising the
Csltinent, appears now resolved to revolutionise
11.: heavens: the University of leipsie has resolved
that the stars in the Sword and Girdle of Orlon.
shill he, to foture, called "Tiro Stars of N apoleon.'
()lion is one of the brightest constellations in the
firmament.

In ofLial order sued by Marshal Bann!, he
designates the King of Sweosn as the hireling
of England," and avows his determination ,4 to
drift him trom the Continent." The Monition
ad,:s. that the answer returned by that insolent Chief
to the late proposal for an armistice, was, that His
SRLDIIIII MA J ;al T Y must saterewkr Stralsund, end
alwatas 3tvedis6 Pomerania for ever. The Dutch
Papis also contain the new Constitution of the
Duchy of Warsaw. It is upon the French model.

The following R-girnental Orders were issned to
11,e ist Elinhurgli Regiment, on the !Bch ult. by
R;ght lion. Lieutenant-Colonel Hope. They
de,ei ve the attention, not only of every coirts, but
of every man in the United Kingdom.—The
Lieutenant-Colonel, after communicating to the
Iteximeat under his command, the approbation, by
Maj r-General Mackay, of their soldierly appear-
ance at their Review on the 44. h, espressing his
saii.fadion in the high state of discipline in which
Ore Regiment at pre.ent stands, and his regret at
th, g. eat falling of in paint of nossirre. (the real
e.F:Etive strength of the Regiment beiiig now esti-
ni:•;kl at little more than 600 rank and ale), adds,
" :'"at a great diminution of our original number
a'oald have taken place, is not surprising ; because
several gvnilemen are dead, many have left this
city and aveillibowhood entirely, and many have
leen jinn a bad state of health. But the melan-
ch .iy consithrAtion is, that.. in such times as these,
c should be cuzh welt ar seal, such thoughtless
I taleArrisfe. arning the young men of this city, in
11.., taming forward to supply the vacancies occa-
sv•ned by the above necessary causes. If this back-
Rat-'nets arose fr- in want of spirit, or from real
la,:ilLrence as ta the fate of the country, the p-os-
pet before us would be alarming indeed. The
tame of Europe may now be blott.A from the map
lime world. and alias oace was Europe may 001.

' be divided into Britain and France ; with this dif-
ference, that in the division, Britain has gained no-
thing, while the whole power of Europe is now at
the absolute disposal of our rival. The whole of
his immense force, he is now at liberty, without the
possibility of further diversion in our favour, to di-
re% against this country, and if he should prove
successful, the result will be worse than the Saxen
or Norman Conquest. But let not this considera-
tion drive us to despair, but animate us to resist-
ance, and, above all, to submit cheerfully to the
means which are to qualify us for successful resist-
ance. They deceive themselves who think that the
French are not a brave people. They are a very
brave people, and their onset is terrible. To great
bravery, their troops now add exae discipline, and
their officers great skill and experience ; and if
against great courage, great skill, and great ex-
perience, we have nothing to oppose, but innate
intrepid courage, all history can tell us what must
be the result of the contest. If we hope to resist
with success, we most add to our native courage,
numbers--to numbers, discipline—and to disci-
pline, that fixed and patient submission to every
burden, privation, and hardship, which our glorious
freedom should inspire, and without which, as we
should show ourselves unworthy of that freedom,
we cannot expect that Providence should preserve
it. We have one great advantage over the people
of the Continent ; we have a Sovereign who is not
to be daunted iuto submiuien ; and our public
men, whether in or out of office, are true to their
country. The people, therefore, have only to be
true to themselves, and, under Gud, we have every
reason to be confident of the issue of the greatest
stake that ever was contended for by any nation.—
To some of the nations now subdued by. France,
there was no great motive to resistance ; their own
Sovereigns were despotic, and it made little dif-
ferenee whether they were to be ruled by one tyrant
or another. There might be a difference in the
personal charadler of the men, but the degree of
freedom under both Governments was to be the
same. But it is not so with Britain. The alterna-
tive with us is, Whether we shall continue the hap-
piest people the sun ever saw, or the most misera-
ble and degraded : miserable in proportion to our
former happiness, degraded in proportion to the
implacable rancour with which our enemy beholds
as? Language cannot describe, imagination can-
not conceive. the horrors to which conquest would
subjigt us.

fe Let, then, our young men step forward, if the;
would save themselves from slavery, their wives,
their sisters, and daughters, from violation ! Let
our women animate our men. They have much in
their power. Let them treat with scorn, let them
exclude from their society, every man capable of
bearing arms, who does not serve in some corps or
other, and we shall have no need of ballots or com-
pulsion to fill the ranks of every description of Dune.
These a:e not ;Jr:finery times, and those who hve in
them must not hope for the ordinary repose of civil
life. Every man must now be a soldier, if he does
not mean to be a slave. Exemptions and privileges
from service are out of the q'sestion. It is the
privilege of being a free man, which is at stake ; it
is the liberty of Britain which is in danger ; and if
Britons will not answer to that call, they are un-
worthy of the name, and unworthy of the liberty
which their ancestors acquired. Fall they must,
and fall they ought. But let us cherish better hopes.
Let us do o%r duty, and trust in God ; and, as the
privileges which he has given us to defend are boo
yond all price, let our resistance have no measure
but our fortunes and our lives."

The Cardinal of You' died lately at Rome, in
the 12d year of his age. Our good KING allowed
him out of his privy purse, a handsome pensiou.—
His death is of some importance ; for, we believe,
an a& with respell to Attainder of lood was to
expire at the death of this last of the Sneer
family.
It is said that the Princess of SAION Y is to be
married to the Grand Duke of WIITZOt uses.

Mr.Sa mom had an interview oaMonday with Mr.
CAIIIIIIIO. on the subjea of the misunderstanding
with America. The Minister informed him, that
he had sent to the American Envoys, to know whe-
ther they had received any farther information;
adding. " that if they had. our Government was
ready to eater into an amicable adjustment of all
differences." The answer was, " that they bad ra+
ceived no isuttudtions."

An incorrea statement of Mr. Snaarnaw's is
tended motion, upon the state of Ireland, having
found its way into a Morning Paper, of yesterday,
we insert the following, which, we :i u:stand. is a
coned copy :

" RiaL;6lo.
" That this House will Immediately, on die meeting of the
ensuing Stblioll of Parliament proceed to take into their
most serious and 5010111111 C0111106:1ati011, the State and Geode-

The motion, we find, was deferred by Mr. See-
IIIDAI4, on Monday, upon a communication with
the Treasury Blnch, which induced a hope, that it
might be muddied so as to meet the support of
both sides of the House, but this hope, we besr,
is not likely to be realisci. The motion will,
therefore, certainly corn- on to-morrow.
