When the Packet was at the mouth of the Eydcr,
,she found an American, Vessel there, the Master of

said, that if therlPacket would wait till the'Boat re-

twaited; and theo4cer, and Crew belonging

115rdtnent of Copenhagen having commenced on the

.and as..the

expea the official accounts from Admiral GAMBIER.

tiih"Subjeas in Denmark, and the seizure of British
pioperty.- This PrOclarhation; which is an unequi-,
‘ipial Declaration of War on' the part 'of Denmark;
is dated at Gl'itckitudt, tltc tgth inst. These. Papers
do not contain. any account of the aaual commence-
'meta ; but front the intelligence which
Yzis
,variat4faiters, we 'hare no

dunbt that, they commenced on the. 18th.. Why

thetWere delaybcriolong, We have not sufficient
-it4tiltitiOtiligfor,e.ui to enable us to determine. It
is stated in ,the Danish,,Proclamation, that on the
13th the. Uri tish Minister,' Arr. JAcKsok; announced
to the Dani,h GDvernnietit that hostilities Would be
commenced, and demanded a Paisport for himself
and Suite.
•Notwithstanding•this explicit Declara-

tion on. the 13t11,; tlie•Daoish Proclamation was not
issued till the I (itli';` and on the 17th hostilities had
;pot been commenced by our Forces. it is probable
that on the 14th and 15th some further attempts
were made by the► Danish Government to negotiate,
Merely for the purpose of glining time to complete
ilieir,plans of defence.. We lament that so much
time was allowed to them for preparation, but, as
Iva have already stated; it would be highly
impto-
per, for us to censure the conduEt a our CoMmanders
•or o .r Minister upon such very slight information as

we hat:e before US. Ail the accounts from Zealand
coueur iu atatiug,that themost naive preparations were
raking to put the Island 'in a formidable state of de.
fctine. The Militia of the Island is stated to amount
to 18,0,00. men, and the Regular TroopS to 6000;'x-
sides Volunteers, Sex. We never had, however,
my apprehensions as to the result of the contesf.—
Ile time which has elapsed since the arrival of our

fleet before Copenhagen may have enabled the

Dines to make a more obitinate resistance, but the
lin'titense force mrhicli diwernment sent upon this
;x diciou rendered our final sucess certain.
It .14/ietiitiv‘ily.9ffseeted; in several private letters
'which received from the COntinent, that

A Nogotil:iva h4ti commenced between Marshal BE R..
N tIUT rit ancl the Prince Royal of Denmark, the ob-

je6t of which was' o induce Denmark to enter into a
maritirneConfederacy against Great Britain, in return
ftn• which Denmark was to receiv a considerable

accession of territory at the expence of Sweden.—
This Negotiation, it is added, was cornpletcly sus-
}landed by the sudden awl unexpeCted arrival of the
British Fleet.

'lna American Schooner Revenge, with the re-
pres'entations of the American government in conse-
quence of the rencontre between the Leopard and
the Chesapeake, has at length arrived at Falmouth.
It appears that she was not dispatched firm America
until the end of July, and her voyage was protratied
in consequence of her having received orders to put
into Brest, before she came to this Country.
's We have received some American Papers, but they
do not not contain any intelligence of importance,
except some Letters from China, dated. the 24th
March, which state that the dispute between the
English and the Chinese had risen to such a
heigltk;that Several English Vessels were coming
away in ballast.

BANKS or THE DANUBE, Alio. B.—According to
`pblic report the-Polish Magistratesexpressed a wish
-to.. the Emperor NAPOLEON, that the vassalage of the
Polish peasantry in the Dutchy of Warsaw might be
'Suffered. to continue for forty years ; but receiving
no favourable aflswer, the Deputation which waited
on the Emperor before his departure only asked that
it might be continued for five years, but the answer
of the Great Sovereign was, not an hour (pas une
heure).

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 12.—Tranquillity does
not appear to be yet perfectly ye-established in this
capital ; at least the Januissaries retain a greater in-
fluence in the'Government than the military poWer
ought to possess in a well ordered Government ;
and it is to this, influence that the dismissal of ionic
other persons from the Ministry is to, be ascribed.
With resped to the events of the war, there are va-
rious reports. It is said that our Fleet has made it-
self master of a part of the Island of Tenedos,nnd
sailed from thence to 'Lemnos, but there it is
,blocked up by Admiral SINIAVIN from the Black
Sea.
,We have received intelligence of the fortress
of Anapa, and we are, flow in‘fear for the Sinope
and ,Trebisond.

The Persian Ambassador has returned hither from

the French ,Head-quarters; artd the French Ambas-
sador to the Court of Persia is expecaed here. The
Ambassador froM his Majesty the King of Holland
to the Porte, Baron Von DEDEM, is arrived here.
A Minister Plenipotentiary for the Kingdom of Italy
is speedily exp e6ted.
ST. ,P,ETERSBURGH, JULY 25.—The Grand Duke
CONSTANTINE, the brother of the Emperor, has
been returned, to this Capital about a week. Yes-
terday a part of the stud of the French Envoy, Gen.
SAVARY, arrived here; and Generals, and other
Officers of'distinetion, are daily arriving from the
