Oust Readers will find in our subsequent columns
some further Extraas from the Halnturgh Mails
which arrived on Saturday, and also some additional
particulars respeaing the -seizure of. Hamburglr.--:-:'
We ,feel considerable satisfaaion in being able to
state, that the intention to take possession of Ham-
burgh - having bedn for some time anticipated, Go-
vernment took every poSsible measure to render the
consequences arising from such an event as little in-
jurious .to the mercantile interest of this country as
possible. There can, however, be no doubt that
.the system of deception- whic.h.tbe French Minister,
BOURSENNE, carried on to the very. last moment,
had the effeet of .deceiving many persons, .Who were
punished for their rniS-placed confidence by the loss

of their property.
This morning five GotteOurgh Mails arrived, but
they do not,add much to the intelligence of which
we are already in possession. It is. stated, and we
hope truly, that a Vessel had arrived at. Copenhagen
with the most valuable part of the KING of -Pans-,
siils Treasure on board. Nothin,,- but the-'Most
gross negligence could have suffered a ,
.t to eito.'"
°Tel
to the hands -of the French ; but after- what WC
have lately witnessed, lie should scarcely: be- stir
prized at any thing. The opiniOn which we,ex-
pressed a few days ago respeaing 41)e-designs of, Rio-
NAPARTE against Denmark,will, we fear, prove to be
too well-founded. It is said, that he had demanded
that a considerable portion of 'the _Danish Marthe
should be given up to him, and that the SpilEA,
should be shut 'against the English. The:
part of this report we think highly
If he should persist in this demand, the Court of.
Copenhagen will-be placed in 'a most embarrassing
situation 3 it would be
.alniost inipossible to pro-
, .
teet Holstein from the French, andindeed the whole
of the Danish territories would be in considerable
danger. ~7vlre, ,do not, however, think thatA3oNA_
PARTE will at present make such a divisidn of his
Forces as would be necessary, if he iutendeld, to
make a serious attack upon Denmark : he mast con-
centrate the great mass of his Army in Poland, ,but
unfortunately he as often effeEts his purpose by arti-
fice and by threats as he does by force. The French
have advanced- near to Stralsund, which is declared
in a state of siege if they should think-proper to
invest it form lily, we venture to predict 'that it Will
not be given up rike the Prussian fortresses.

THE reports.of an Armistice between Pru.s,9ia.an4 t
France cpntinue to be circulated on the Confided-,
end the Master of a Neutral Vessel, who sailed from
Caen in Normandy on Saturday, and landed at
Dover yesterday,.reports, that before he sailed news
bad arrived of an Armistice having been concluded.

Tins morning two foreign Messengers arrived at
the Foreign Office, "one from 'Petersburgh and the
Other from Dresden.. 'The intelligence which they
bring has not transpire& -but dleadful ae'coutiess'ii6l.•

French in Germany.-

A.report was "circulated • this 'Morning, that the
Expedition, under the command of Brigadier-Gene-
'ral CRAWrURD, bad been compelled to. ptit into
Cork ; but the last accounts
„which have reached the
Admiralty, dated the 26th:ult. do not mention that
circumstance.

Yesterday morning His MpiJESTY,. iII the-I'llll uni-
form of the Royal Horse Guards, inspe6led that
Regiment and the Stafford Militia, in Windsor
Court Yard, attended by. the Quke of. cAMBRIDGE,

At four o'clock on Saturday morning, Mr. RUFFE,
the Messenger, arrived 'at the Foreign Office, with
dispatches from Mr. THORNTON, the British Con- •
•mul at Hamburgh,, containing the official account of
the capture of that place by a division of the French
Army. The entry of the Bnemy.was.so sudden and
unexpected, that the Messenger only had time to
leave the town at one extremity while the French
were entering at the other. WAGSTAFF and HAR-
tRiAVE, two other Messengers, are left behind with
Mr. THORNTON, vvho,we are happy\ to think, is
now out of danger.
Yesterday the PaussrAN AMBASsADO C-ftll/00*
EON, and several Officers, dined with the,ptilisl4)ff;
Yoax, at Oatlands.• , -
Intelligence was received by the last Hambnregh
Mail, that a person of distinclion in the Turkish.Go-
vcrnment was on his way to this country as Envoy
