• TiE Hairthrgb Mail due yesterday, arrived this
morning. It has brought us intelligence from Co_
pcnhageN, of the z6vhTitAf. -fsdliete Lord ST. HE«
LEN'S had Zrrived. ,bove are happy to
•
state, met with such te-reticptioti) tti' proves the dis.
position, of the Court of etipetihagen to be as con.
ciliimry as we have been inclined to believe.
The 4`toribolni article contains a .St:tre
which a:Tomas for the so speedy departure of Admi-
ral Sir e PARKER frotri the Swedith Coat, after
his appearance there.

The intelligence respeaing Hallam?, given un
der the head of Private CorrespOndence, is, is our
Corre3pondenr observes, of too tm%eh importance to
be lightly believed; while.she colour of the late Ad-
vices from the Hague, makes it difficult not to con-
sider it as entitled to some notice.

The health of the ARCHDUKE CHARLES is, we
are happy to learn,• much better.

A Messenger arrived this'. morning at Lord

However highly we feel interested in what re-
lates to Egypt, we are now much less ' impatient
than we were to receive inielliience from thence.—
The last witichlieached usr from that Country, was

too satisfaaory to allow the lively hope which it
inspired, to be damped by any feeling of. tineasi,
ness. • Besides' that the Military contial :of the
English and the French, from the memorable
days of the _-zrst of -March. to the Bth of. April,
denoted a Manifest superiority: on 'the part of the
for Mer in all respells', ~we lhave. the satisfallion of
knowing that this superiority' must have; been
speedily augmented, and will be ultimately still
more so. It is well known that by the measures
taken by Government last week, a reinfoicement
of 3000 men. are setting off from this Country for
Egypt ; but it is not as generally known- that on
the sth of 'April a Battation of the Gariison of
Malta, sailed from that Island fol. Egypt, where it
must have arrived in a very few days. *Every
one must be sensible how much in the pro-
portion of number of. the two contending Armies,
a thousand fresh and experienced Troops must have
turned 'the balance in our favour. Their arriVal;
besides the material force which it give's us,' niust •
have redoubled the confidence of our Soldiers; and
must haveiA'fwid them that nothing- will be
neglelled e bie them to turn their,6rst triumphs
to advairtflg[e;.and id- place them in a situation to
reap- other)ti'L4 and decisive Villories. A very dif-
ferent sentiment must be produced by this circuM.
stance' on thelninds of cur Enemies.
.Neither re-.
ceiving, nor indeed being able to receive- any :succour
themselves, "they must feel nothing but dikourage.-
mem from seeing the number With -whOm
they have to contendaugmented : and the reftellion
ss ill
as naturally present itself to-them as to us, that•
if they were unable to conquer on the' z rs't March,
they can no longer entertain any hopes of it alter
the losses sustained by them on. that:day, -and the .
reinforcements received by their adversaries, shall
have rendered the disproportion of their form
still greater. s • ,•
Refleding, therefore, on the arrival of these too°
Men from Malta, in addition-to those of the sobs)
T,urks who had-preceeded them; and to. the march of
die GRAND • Vli;Eit, we cannot I)ut lie perfealv
easy respelling the fate of events in Esvf; and we
clatter ourselves, that this union and co-operation of
force Will; in the end, havezcompletely etre/led the
objll of thiS Expedition. If, however,, the. French
should have succeeded in prolonging their delence
to a longer period_than there seems ioom`to,e-xpeet,
if some farther efforts- should still be necessary to
complete heir reflation, we see. that the foresight
of Goylitturient has, anticipated .the possibility of
such a case, Aptl. that 'the 3000 good Troops s.vho
no "1 . ••
are about tont-lil,, infallibly fix the viaory,,and.
decide the qUestion.

Whether, from a sentiment of regret at this
agreeable prospeet, or' whether fro:n the want of
better means for attacking the Condua of Govern.
mentk
.which indeed furnishes ',them but very little
grounds for attack, we knoW not, but -some Papers
of Opposition have blamed the sending these rein-
forcements, and have endeavoured to, inspire their
Readers with apprehensions of the advantage which
it would give the French in case of art Invasion on
our Coasts. The objection is as destitute of foun.
dation as the fears are imaginary. In the first
plate, it is evident to every • well-informed man,
that the demonstrations which 130NAPARTE' is now
making, arc but the slow result of the plans, which
he had formed, in the expo Cation that the Northern
Confederacy would for several months occupy a
great part of our Maritime Force, and that the
blind hatred of the Emperor • PAUL would oblige
us also to send a part of our force to other points.
The death of Pau L, and the conciliatory views of his
SUccessor, have put an end to this chancerand we may
reasonably entertain doubts .whether. the Chief Con.
but will still think of running the risque oran Inva-
sion. If, 1103metw, he should shut his eyes against all
the obstaclawhia `,rand in the way of the attempt,
and'against all the conseqUences which must follow
•
front its 40ost ctzrtain failure, it must be-agreed,
that he cannot , think of carrying his designs into
execution at this season, nor before Autumn ; and
we may expeCt, that at that latter period, our Af-
fairs in, the North and in Egypt will have been fa-
vourably terthinatta, and will have placed at our
-disposal a still greater force, But supposing it even
