LONDON, APRIL 28, 18oi.

THE first of the Two Hamburjh Mails which
were due, and the non.arrival of which had occa.
sioned some uneasir,ess, came safe to hand this morn-
ing. It brings us an account of the sailing of the
greater part of the British Fleet on the z zth from
Copenhagen for the Baltic: The expefiation Which
the Copenhagen article expresses, of a battle between
die Russian and Swedish Fleets, which are said to
have joined, and the British Fleet, is, we trust,
unfounded.

In askiition to such details as the German Papers
have brought, will be found in our subsequent Co.
lumns two Letters from our Correspondents at Bre-
mex and liar:burgh.-

WE this morning received Paris Paprs to the
26th inst. The arrival of the Ham6urgh Mail at
the same time, has rendered all that part of their
contents which relate to the North, uninteresting ;
and as they contain no intelligence from Egypt, our
Readers will have little reason to regret that our
want of room does not allow us to give any details
from them.

The QuRIN and PRlNCaszs yesterday morning,

It is with sincere pleasure we state, that the great
importations, combined with the. uncommon fiae-
ness of the season, produced a considerable reduftion
in the prices of all kinds of grain yesterday at. the
Corn Exchange, but particularly in that of wheat,
which has fallen zos. per quarter since Monday
te'nnight.—Flour is t gs. per sack lower. •

The Minister of Sweden at the Hague, the Cotint
Di LEUWENHEIM, has published'a formal contra.
4,liftion of the report that the Swedes had refused 'to
fire on the English when the latter were palling,
through the Scund. He states the breadth of- the
Sound, at the Aarrowest part, at 2400 toises (of six
feet French), and the utmost range of a cannon, at
any elevation, at Soo wises, If then, he says, the
English Ships were within reach of the guns, .
in other words, within Soo toises of the Castle of
Cronenberg, it must follow that they were 1600
toises from. the Coast of Sweden, and of course
completely out of the reach of cannon-shot.

The Copy of the Treaty of Luneville which the
French Government sent back to Vienna in ex...

was remarkable for its elegance. It was bound in
blue velvet, embroidered with gold, but the French
Journalists state that this- was the least valuabic
part of it ; materiam superabat opus ; the mapu.
script was so coned that there was not an etastVe
or a blot in it.
