EA.TWRDAY, OCTOBLLt 107.

This morning three aittenturgli Mails , arrived,
tile contents of which will be fOund in our subse-:
Trent columns. Many of the articles concur iri
statimg, ,that ageneral opinion is entertained,ahat
a War between Greai Britaiti and Russia
eettainli 'take place. - The GarrisOn of Crcktstadt,
it is said, has been reinforced with ten Reg,inieuts,
and large detachments- of Cossacks are constantly
patroling the Coast, in order to prevent the landing
of the English. Another account states, ahat upwards
of 150 English Vessels had left the Ports of Russia in
Killast, under an apprehension that a war would take
• piace, and that they, of course, would be seized.—
The want of recent intelligence from St. Petersburgh,
prevents us from spettking with any degree of cert:iinty
upon this subjea It may not, however,' be improper
toobsvrve, that these reports were originally insert-
ed. in the French 'Papers, and in those immediately
under ErenciOntiiience; they are, therefore, to be
received with considerable suspicion.'But there are
other-circumstances which induce us to decline giv-
ing them any credit : , a Russian Squadron of three
Sail of the Line ~and three Frigates have -arrived'
in the Sound, and the Line-of-battle Ships have riot
their full complement of 'tnen on board._ ', Now,, if
the Russian Government-meditated hostilities against
this Country, or entertained any: apprehension
: that we had any designs" against their. Navy, it
.
is extremely improbable that a considerable Russian
Squadron, almost unarmed, Would have been sent
into the midst Of an. English Fleet of L 2 Sail of the.:
Line. 'lt-is stated in an article from Copenhagen,
that it Was reported that Admiral GAMLiIER ,1104
received orders from home to tak,e possession of di/is
Squadron, and that: he had afttially dettiched !.a
Squadron for that purposei but . upon an exarnin-
tion of the dates, it is,ObVieUS thAt:lno such orders
could haVe. ,been sent out. 111 e animosity Which.
the, Inhabitants of Copenhagen felt against :Out.
Troops, has so fir subsided, that pet-miss' loci. has
been gMtited t,o the Soldiers 'to enter' Copenhagen
in small parties, and 01.9rnie4i, for the pvioac 'of
Viewing' that city. Lours XVIII. May be hourly
expeCted in this Country, as when the last ac-
counts came away from Sweden, be was abook to
embark.

adviees from the ,Continent it appears,
that within .a very short time 3 American Vessels
have arrived at flourdeaux, with colonial, produce,
and half that, number in iial{cttiel. r.
We Understand the 'friendly offers of ascistanee to
us from the Indian Nations in Upper C.mada, in

made through the medium of Sir JOHN JouNsoN.
-the British Supc.trintendant-General, who possesses
-a post extetiSiVC influence, among them, and very
laudably exerts it fir the interest of his country.
We hive the satisfaetlon to slate, that the auilleur

with alt its crew; on the ;Atli ult, in the Cattegat,
was left in safety, ctn the -rth inst.' by the ilchitier

thinks that none of them were absolutely lost. Ha
