J -Sit:EDWARD PELLEW, who lately arrived in Eng-
land in the. Culloden, with the East India fleet, was
so fortunate as. to hear of the rupture with the Danes,
while at sea, soon after its breaking out ; and upon
this information, set sail for the Danish settlement at
Trahquebar, in the East Indies, and took it by sur-
prise. Admiral DRURY arrived there from England
some time after, .with a force to take it, but found
Sir EDWARD PELLEw• in possession. Sir EDWARD
has returned to England, with a fortune of between
'forty and, fitly thousand. pounds by.this enterpriie.

that the Officers of the iOth Light Dragoons will,

Americans at Parisi that. the Government of the
United 'States milk soon determine to join . the
French or the-British in the war, as it Would no
kniger ye poSsinte maintain a neutrality between
the two Belliaerentd Powers.-
•

A vessel arrived yesterday which left the Dutch
coast last Saturday, and brings. some account of the
effect produced on the public mind in Holland by.
the intelligence of our Expedition.
The Dutch Government, it appears, is ill assured
of the fidelity of its stibjects, and therefore prevents,
as tar as it is able, all intercourse between the several
towns. It is particularly anxious to prevent any
communication between the disaffeCted and the Bri-
tish Government. For this reason the greatest pre-
cautions are taken to hinder the further escape of
any vessels from the coast of Holland. No ships are
allowed on any account to leave. any of the ports,
and the rudders of such as are equipped for sailing
.have been taken away.. 'The vessels belonging to
the fishermen have also been secured.

In Inc Netherlands, too, we -find, that as great
an anxiety... prevails as in Holland. A vessel is alSo
arrived from Ostend. There, too, tidings had been
received of the Expedition, and it was thought to
be destined against that place. There were not an
hundred soldiers either at Ostend, Bruges, or Ghent ;
and the French Fundionaries were so alarmed by.
the apprehenSions of an hostile visit, from the con-
Seiousuess of their own defenceless condition, that
they had sent their families into the interior.
'A:number of the Conscripts recently in these pro-
vinces, had been encouraged to abandon their posts
by the hopes of being, able to join the Expedition..
They-lay concealed 'in the woods. Several of the
public Officers, natives of the Pays Bas, had been
arrested, being suspeaed of viewing the British Ex-
pedition with a friendly eye..
We are assured that Prince STAHREMBERG has
received no dispatches whatever ft-Om his Sovereign.
The following is extraaed from a letter, . dated
Placentia, July 13 :-" Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY
:went the day before yesterday to CURSTA, and .I
hear will return to-day ; a circumstance occurred
last night which may interest you : a man in the
dress of a Spaniard.met a serjeant 'of the 29th, in
the street, he told him that a soldier was lying out-
side the gate dead drunk, and wished the serjeant to
go and see him ; he went; saw no man ; the other
desired him to proceed a little farther,_ as possibly
the private had crept on : he enticed him at lag to a
considerable distance, when he and four more seized
the serjeant, and questioned him about the army,
-and was very anxious to know where Sir ARTHUR
lodged, and where be was. The serjeant of course
could give no information, .and It two o'clock they
told him they would wait no longer, as Abe day be-
gan to appear, on which one of them fired at and
wounded him" -in the arm. They-have not been
heard of since.'

The House of ORANGE may be said to have al-
ways had more immediate influence in the Southern
Dutch Provinces than in the Northern. Their pri-
vate property was chiefly in the former. Seventeen
villages in the neighbourhood of Breda belonged to
them, as owners of -the soil, not as Princes; and
their condua tot their tenants was puch, that the lat-
ter were little less enviable than land-owners,,
holding their farms from generation to generation,
at very easy rents.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM MUNICH, DATED 1 STA

"We have ,to-day learnt that the Tyroleans have
entered Upper Bavaria, in spite of: the notification
made to them of the Armistice. The troops of the
line were relieved at nine o'clock in the evenilig.by
.the National, Ggarcl:

I." Some detachments bf jnrantri jet cut in the
night Mr Roche' and WolfarthshauSen, where the.
of the Duke D'Aaco is stationed. The re-
' bA have been repulsed, and entered into the.moun-•
taiaS."—(Abeille du Kard, 28th July.) - •
FRANKFORT, JULY Royal Highness the
Gland Duke of WURTSBURGLI set out this morning
to return to his dominions.

The .departure of his Majesty the King of SA•
OSTY is 'not yet fixed. • According to intelligence
froM Dresden, the Austrians do not appear disposed
to evacuate that Capital, though they did not enter
it till the 14th, consequently two days after -tile Ar-
Enistite. We do not doubt but the .evacuation will
take place as soon as the EmperOr has giVen direc-
tions in:this respeal.—(Tbe same Paper).
NAPLE-Si JULY s.—When the' English .were seen
covering the sea with their ships, menacing S'ucces.-
sively- all the. coasts.ot the kingdom, and at length
arriving before the capital with two hundred tran-
sports, and sixty ships of war, many persons be-
lieved
.that the moment was arrived when the enemy
• •
would carry into execution the plan of invasion
`which he had for several years announced. His
Majesty had, on the contrary divined the true inten-
tion of the enemy, which was merely to re-animate
our civil diSCords, to promise succours to all the ill-,
disposed, but to furnish none, and to make war on
the King by his own-snbleals. The event soon jus-
tified this opinion, for all the menacing derlionstra=
Lions of the English, all their fortnidable hostile pre-
parations ended- only in the attack of the two
islands of Ischia and Procida,- defendeJ by a feeble
garrison of invalids. They hOped that we should
send all our'fOrce tO the, assistance- Of these islands,
not to attack our troops, but to blOckade them, and
separate them from the Continent by the superiority
of their marine. Kik hope ! the islandS have been
prudently lett to themselves, and the' enemy has
occupied them in despize of himself; thus our forces
have remained untouched, • and the enemy have
neither been able, nor dared, to make any attempt
against Naples. „ •i r
We learn at this' moment that the-English have
landed 400 men in Ischia,- and likewise 800 sick.
It appears that an epidemic disorder has -manifest-
ed itself on board their ships; tli:s circumstance
removes to a still greater distance, the hope we had
•entertained of seeing land on' the Cur-nine-mail army,
which the inconveniences of the sea, wore'than the
fatigues of war, slowly consume, It czin -no longer
be doubted, that a great part of this army is com-
posed of brigands collected in Sicily, and persons who
had emigrated with the old:Court.—(ribeille du Aord,
28M July)
ALTONA, JULY 28.—According to .the Constitu-
tion Ofthe French Empire,
.all-dignities, titles, and
nobility are abolished at Rome.

, In the Danish Official Gazette it is stated that an
English fleet has appeared before Cronstadt, and
that proper dispositions have been made there to re
ceive the enemy, should he attempt.
It was reported at Manheim, on the 21st of July,
that the Emperor NAPOLEQN- was shortly expeded at
Strasburgh.—(*eile du Nord, July 28.)
DRESDEN; JULY 2 t.---This City has seen yester-
day and to-day. in a state of great alarm. -Genet al
Am-EtinE, entered yesterday at 9 in the morning, at
the 'head of a_battalion of regular troops, and some
battalions' of landwelir (militia), with i pieces of
cannon, composing in the whole a body of 4,000
men., This General having received an estalette
quietly evacuated'the city on the 23d, at three in ,the
afternoon. A Quarter-master a short time after.an-
nounced the arrival of the Saxon troops.
BERLIN, JULY 0.--Some ill-disposed persons
have mentioned that the Duke of•BauNswicx
Ofus was assisted here in his enterprizes,
by the transmipsion 'of several articles of warlike
stores. The absurdity of this assertion must
be manifest to every one, that purchases of this
kind ..cannot be made without the knowledge
of Government, since they are prohibited, and the
miltary cordonS on the frontiers under clandestine
exiortation absolutely impossible. • The. most con-
; vitf:ing proof; however, how much-the 'Government
dis:pproVe the conduct of this Prit;ce, and especially
the.ProelaMation, in which, he has taken upon him
'to make' use of the name of the King 'is, that . his
Majesty, to sheW his „displeasure at'the Doke, has
ordered the sequestration of the prin6pa.lity

Notwithstanding the various reports in circulation
for several dayi past, 'of the seizure of a quantity of
_gold., on its way to the Continent, bone -Was aanally
seized until ,Sunday evening.- :It had been know;,,
We suppose, that an information had been laid of the
intention to export gold, which had caused. the pre-
:mature report. 'At the ' tinie above mentioned,
however, some officers proceeded on board a Yesiel
in the River; bound to the Continent, and; witho it
hesitation; went to the secret hiding-place of the.
vessel, and there found In bags of gold, which they
took away. The' money was
,not counted, 'and
-therefore the 6)00 sum was not, ascertained; but it
must: have amounted to several thousand pounds. •
Besides this, they found some India goods; which
bad not been eatered. None but•the -Captain knows
to whom the. gold belongs. sThe BrokerS for tiffi
Ship:are ready to attest their ignorance of the trans-
;aellonin the most solemn
.manner. It i 45 not to be
Wondered at that gold should be so scarce,. which is
certainly the fad, as it has lon borne a premium
in this country, for the' purpose of exportation.
---
Perhaps the persons so trafficking irrgeld are not
aware of .the heavy penalty they are liable to, aril •
we therefore annex the abstrad of an A& of
•ment relative to this subjea • „.•
Be it therefore' euatled by the King our Sove-
reign Lord, by , the assent of the Lords and Corn-
. mons in-this present Parliament sassenibled; and by
the authority of thefsame, That if any person or
persons; after the first day of April next coming,
exchange any coined gold, coined -silver; or moneyi
giving, receiving, or paying ally more in value, be-
nefit, profit or advantage for its than the same is or
shall. be declared by the King's Majesty's Prociama-:
tion
,to be current for. within -leis Highness's
Realm, •and other his Dominions, that then all the
said coined gold, save?: and money so exchanged,
:and every part and parcel thereof, shall be forfeit,
and the parties so offending shall suffer imprison- '
ment by, the space of 'ooe'year, and make fine at
the King's pleasure.-2. The one: moiety of the
said gold, silver, or coin 'so forfeited,, to be to thd
icing our Sovereign Lord, and the other moiety to
be to the party that seizeth the same; or will sue
for it by bill, plaint, original anion of debt, inform-
'at*, or otherwise, in any of the King's Courts of

. LYCEUM.—The Manager of this Theatre 'mina
obtained permission to represent the established mns
sical piece; of the English stage, last night brought
forward the ropulitt opera of The Duenna, and to
give additional attraction to the piece, engaged that
excellent Cotnediatt QUICK, to perform the parr of
Isaac, The veteran was received with-a tumult of
applause at his entrance, and his a&ing drew forth
many repetitions during the .performance. He
played with admirable spirit, and vyith that chaste
humour for which the Old School, as it,is called, has
always been distinguished. PirtiliPs is the very
best-au/es we ever saw. He delivered flee dialogue
with great animation, and sung the airs with great
and 'eftea.—We advise him, however, not to
discitr;zl the beautiful air of Oh! had my love ne'et-
smil'd jin me:: The substitution of " Just filet
• Love is raking-a great liberty with one of our
classical' drama's; and is the more improper as the
author is, alive.—A:neW, Pet former mad 6 an attempt
to support the charades of Antonip,- but he was so
lamentably, deficient, that RAYMOND was obliged to
conic ferwafd; • and request' that. the audience wou!d
permit this performer to go through the piece, stat-
ing that it was the aim of the Manager to give ta-
lents an opportunity of, shewing, themselves but
as the present candidate for their favour was not so
fortunate as to obtain it, the part should be given
to Mr, MARSHALL in the next representation of the
piece.—ThiS apology was well received.--sHoR,N -
sung the airs of Ferdinand very respeetably, but he
'has much to learn in point' of deportment. MrE.
MOUNTAIN was cliartni!l She gave the
airs adinirsbly. A more.pleasing representative of
Louisa than Mrs. ()Rosa we have never seen. She
played. with great ease and spirit; and if 'her vocal
-powers are not of the higher kind, she sings unaf-
feetedly.' Mrs..SPARKS inade old Margaret. v,ery.con-
spicnchas;.and PENSON was tolerable in Dori Jerome.

Opera. was altogether brought forward in a manner ,
suitable to its merit, and Was very well received •by a
crowded audience.—The ballet of Knosehou, or
The !forest Fiend, followed' with unabated success.
It is the avowed produCtiop of Mr. Pococxe, jun.
. a Gentleman justly distinguished for his talents as
ari-artist,,and who in this work has sheWn that he is
well acquainted with stage effea.—The Princess of
WALES was present:

Though The Foyndling,of the Forest is so great a
favourite with the public, and promises to retain its
popularity through ,theseason, yet we hope that
it will :not prevent Mr. COLMAN from gratifying the
public with some dramatic novelty before it closes..
Mr. COLMAN is among the very few diamatists'-of
the present day •who possesses real genius and ori-
ginal humour, and those natural powers have had
the advantage of high classical attainments. , '
This day there was no Court of Aldermen held,
but the LORD MAYOR, after inspe&ing the returns of
the-Baket's Company, and Meal Weighers, ordered
the price of Bread to be raised 3d. per peck.
• Sunday morning, about two o'clock, a iiackney
coach, with three persons M it, going along Parlia-

whom stood at the horses' heads, while the others
robbed the passengers to the amount of Ifil. and
made their escape.
