LO NDON, MARCH 31,

A Messenger arrival yesterday from Copenhagen,
withDisliatches from Mr. VANSITTAkT, by which
we understand that Government has reason to ex.
peel, that the obstinacy of that Court is likely to
produce an early commencement of hostilities.—
The Dispatches were dated the isth. We still,
however,, anxiously hope, that the moderation, and
sincere disposition shewn on the part of Ministers
to terminate the Dispute by Negotiation, may yet
prevent things frorrt coming to that, extremity.

WE this morning received a Set of Path Papers
to the 29th inst, They brink us no intelligence
that is in any degree interesting. A Letter froni
Gonitantbrople, of the 14. th Feb. represents the Bri-
tish Army in so different a state from that in which
we know it to have been at the time mentioned in
this Letter, that we do not consider it as entitled to
any credit. The following observation is the only
Extrad which the Moninur affords us :

" The English last year refused to conclude a

Naval Truce. The chief reason for their refusal
was, that the French wanted to send six Frigates

to E‘,,ypt, Citizen Ovroa required from the Eng_
fish Government Passports for the safe return from
Aim of si* Savans, Members of the Committee of
Arts. This was refused by the English, In the

Course of the winter, more guns, more bullets, and
more men, have entered Alexandria and Damietta,
than six Frigates could have carried. Of the six
'Savant to whom Passports were refused, three
have arrived; the other three had not arrived from
Mount Sinai vvhert the last.ship sailed."

IN part of our Impression of yesterday, we stated
the arrival of the llamhurgh la;1 due on Wed-
nesday last. It has brought us no intelligence
which changes the state in which affairs haye for
some time past remained. The military prepa-
rations for defence continue in Penmark and in
!Sudo:. The Embargo imposed on our 'Ships in
thi latter Country still continues, but none hatl. Len
laid on in the former. most recent Letters
from Sig:l,ol in, ere Of the loth, and from Elsinore
of the 17 th. The nett Mail will, therefore, pro-
bring us intelligence, by way of Germany, of
the arrival of blir fleet in the Sound; but it'is pro.
bable that, vve shall, ,:eceive earlier advices of it
through other channels.

TIT EMVEI4.O2. pf RUSSIA) accustomed to de-
stroy his owp ads, has revoked the Prohibition of
exporting Merthandize from his Territories, btft
has permitted it cmly under severe restriaions.-7—lf
we are to give any credit to Letters from Fienna
of the 4th, Turkey has Already taken umbrage :u
the military preparations of the ElNfli/I.OR on the
Frontier 9f his States,' and at the quantity of Troops
which 11.1 is colleding there. We should not be
astonished if it should prove true, the Sy 1,r414
has made such a remonstrance to the EMPEROR
Of GEFMANT, while we bee th-it he has not N,en_
Lured to'do the same with the EMPERUr. of lA.

Th& Arcbetuke CHARLES has been very ill, but
was better. The French are, it is said, about
again to ransom the City of Ilamburgh, and this
time for Four Millions of -Li vres. This would lead
us to believe that that City is about to undergo a
change in its political destiny ; for it is the custom
of the French to squeeze the fruit, and to throw the
rind to other Powers.
One Hamburgb Mail remains due.

There are private letters in Town from Sir
RALF 3 Al 3 E RC ROMB Y'S Army, dated on the 4th of
February. They expected to sail every day, and
were in high health and spirits. The Guards had
lost only three men during their stay at Macari and
Rhodes.

The last overland Dispatch from the Marquis of
WF.LLESLEY mentions, that his Lordship was about
to leave the Presidency of Bengal to repair to Bom-
bay, and superintend the Expedition from that
Settlement, which is to co-operate with Sir RALPH
ABERCROMBY'S Army in Egypt. The force from
Bombay will consist of twelve thousand men.
A private Letter received by the Hamburgh Mail
of yesterday from Konigsberg, of the 14. th of March,
states as follows :—" The greater number of per_
sons who composed the Suite of Louis XVIII.
have separated themselves. It is known that the
pension he received from Russia is now. entirely
discontinued. The Dutchess of ANGOULEME was
compelled by want to pawn her diamonds at Memel
for 2500 ducats. These two Illustrious Persons
arrived at, Warsaw, after suffering the severest
hardships during their journey thither from Ko-
nigsberg.

M. TALLTEN and suite arrived at Dover on
Sunday night from London, and. embarked thence
yesterday morning for Calais.

It has come out before the Committee of the House
of Commons, appointed to search for Precedents,
and report upon the eligibility of Mr. JOHN HoRNE
TOOKE to a Seat in the, House of Commons, that a
Dean of Carlisle sat in the House for two whole
Parliaments, without challenge or inquiry.
As the Insolvent Bill proposed to be brought into
Parliament by Lord Mot tt A is of consequence to
many people, it may not be thought unimportant to
explain it. It is an exad transcript of the last In-
solvent Bill that passed, with a single exception.—
His Lordship had originally intended. that its benefit
should be extended to all Debtors in Prison on or
before the Ist of March; but upon his consulting a
Noble and Learned Friend of his, he suggested to
him, that possibly many persOns, expeaing that an
Insolvent Bill would soon pass, might have con-
trived to throw themselves into prison very recent_
ly, with the hopes of 'taking advantage of such
Bill. As it was certainly right to counteract. such
pratlices, Lord MOIRA has limited the extent of
the benefits of the Bill to all persons in prison for
debt on or before: the z3d of January, being the first
day of last Term.

His' Grace the Duke of BEDFORD had four of his
fine Leicester sheep brought to Smithfield market
yesterday, and also four Kentish heifers, re►narka_
ble for their beautiful symmetry they fetched
good prices, as did the rest of the cattle.

ROYAL ACADEMY.—Mr. FUSEL I delivered his
third Leaure last night. The subjea was hyena
tion, the great charaaeristic of genius, which the
Professor • illustrated by observations upon the
works of the most distinguished Artists, parti-
cularly Of MICHAEL ANGELO, aHEIRAPHAEL:' He
'compared the charaler, and described the re_.
speaive meats of those great men, with strength -
of judgment;delicacy, 'precision, and eloquence.—
He dwelt with peculiar energy on the wonderful
powers of the latter, and vindicated his sublime
Piaure of The Transfiguration from the censure of
RICHARDSON and FALCONET. In the course of
his Leaure, Mr. FUSEL' made a complimentary al-
lusion to the well-known Piaure of General gro?,re,,
painted by the President, which strongly indi.
cated his owo delicacy and candour. The
whole of this discourse manifested the powers of
a vigorous and refleaing mind, stored with
knowledge on the subjea of art, as well as a
full possession:of the English
,language in all its
'strength, variety, and precision.

The French have certainly shewn themselves
great masters in the art 'of conciliation. Their
Theatrical genius having led them to. Exhibitions of
that nature in Cairo : they state that several Ne-
groes of both. sexes from the interior of Africa, in
the French Service, who have been also admitted to
these representations, furnished scenes highly in-
teresting to those who love to study human nature
so near its cradle. The Negroes were particularly
delighted and flattered on seeing, in The Deux
Billets, Harlequin; whom they took for one of them-
selves, exciting thunders of applause by his a&ivity
and address:
