Lanilarrißlann, has• notified to • the 'Religious Sot
oiled liedemptionists, an order to quit the Coun-
try, and 'on the totlf
_of Nciscipbe'r last, they
obeyed, without resistance or disturbance. They
took the road of the Valais. As to the cause of the
exile) of the Bishops of Coma and BRIXON., it is now
known that they had consulted the CoUrCof Rome

civil authorities in what regards their. Ministry; and'

COPEN4AGRN, Fzu. 2.--Hie 'Seren'e Highness
Prince CHRISTIAN, of Schl6switck Holstein, Com-.
mender in Chief of Norway, has published an
,energetic address to the inhabitants, in Whicn he
calls on them to fit out privateers.---" This," says
the Prince; i‘ is„the.only means • of, preventing the
enemy from making their appearance off our coasts.''
His Serene Highness also prOmises that the Go-
veiinment shall furnish, as `much as shall be in its
power, arms and anmiunition to those who shall fit
out privateers. They write from Konigsburgh, that
besides the small number of English Prisoners who
live there at their own expellee, the Government of
Norway .maintains 2'4 persOns, as well English
Merchants its Captains of. Ships, Pilots, and Sailors.
The loises which the city of Copenhagen has suf.,,
fered by conflagrations, within 14 years, is estimated.
at 30 millions'ofrix dollars. The buildiug of the Pa-
?ace
of Christianberg, which wasburnt in 1794, cost),
we are assured, 15 millions. The houses burnt ini79s
were insured for the sum of 4,629,650 rix-dobars
dud the public%and private eddiees destroyed by the'
last bombardment were insured for 2,403,WW
dollars ; all of which amounts io, the enormous stria
of above 22 millions of tix-dollars ; to which, if we
'add the Value of the moveables burnt in the PalaLe
of- bhristianburgh;- and in the private .holises, and
consider that the sum insured is never equal to the
real value, we may boldly, and without i`ezr olexag.
geration, estimate the total loss, within ~this period,
at oc millions of rix -dollars.
