. We have received Dutch Papers to the 15th inst.
The Paris news contained in thein states, that part
of Junirr's army is destined for Pertugal, for
which country it is now'marehing, under the title
of .‘ The• Van ef the Army of Partneri." We Nave
also extracted from the Dutch Papers an account
of the internal political state of. Port tags!, which,.
while we regret that the union of Intiment is that'
country is not u complete as ere wish, we consider
a very gross misrepresentation. The Dutch Papers
contain as article from Copenhagen, giving an ac-
count of 'netts& by an English squadron upon the
Danish port of Christianhoe. It is said to have tak en
place on the oath of October ;• and yet no official ac-
count or private intelligence respecting it has been
published or t ranspired, although the whole' ef the
British fleet; with the exception of Admiral KEars'
squadron, has arrived frani the Baltic. These
papers meskien the rupture of the Armistice in
Finland, and the subsequent alefeet of the Swedes,
but in al' manner not to induce au implicit adoptiun
of either.

We have copied from The Casette of Saturday
Captain Saviiona's account of the capture of the
Thetis. It is very well written. and *hews that his
:lunch:sty is not inferior to his valour. The killed
and wounded on board the Thetis. amounted to
1137 killed and wounded, a loss equal to that
sus-
tained in many general and sharply-contested ac-
tions. The (.niche also contains an account of the
short but brilliant operations in the Island of Ma-
riepdante. which terminated iu the unconditional
surrender of the enemy.
