[PRIVATE LETTER.]

" ALTONA, Anti. 4,—Letters from Copenhagen,
of the 91h,.state,,that the Crown Prince was hourly
expeoled there from Kid rat the latter place Mr.
JACKSON had an audience of his Royal Highness te.
demand " Whether Denmark intended to declare
for or against England; as its neutrality, owing to the
violent measuresadopted4bi France, could no longer
be 'acknowledged:" The Prince is' said to have de.
dared, "thathe would consider every Power as his
enemy that should attempt to violate histeutrality."
In the evening of ,the same day (the sth). he set out
for Copenhagen. The British Men of. War, with
the Troop-ships, form a complete line of circumval-
lation round the Island of 2Caland : some divisions
lutve'also,,entered the Great and,Little Belts. Ad-
miral'KEArs, with four Sail of the ,Line' and some.
Frigates, passed the Belt on the 4th lest.
• " Bet Ween Copenhagen and Elsineur there t'ere,
on the Bth, eighteen Sail of the Line, besides Fri-
g‘ites. In faa. the English Fleet forms a telegraphic
line, from Copenhagen as fiir as Kiel. Between the
Island of Salthohn and the Swedish Coast two Fri;
gates and some smaller vessels are cruizing. Qa'
the 6th, two English Frigates and two Brigs passed.
Copenhagen for the Baltic, 'supposed for St. Peters-
burgh and Memel.
The Danish 'Fleet remained in the same state
as before, and up to the 9th no preparations of de-
fence had beau made bythe Government. From
Elsineur the English Fleet,procure plenty- of sup-
plies, for which they pay ready money.
This afternoon an
.antient-Commercial House
here received advice, by Estafette, from Stralsund
(via Rostock), that the French had been repulsed,
with greatloss, in two attempts to take that place
by assault the beginning,of this week."

TRUST, JULY 28.--. We begin to breathe , more
freely, and eipeetation is on the wing to restore
our maritime trade. The RusSian ships of war have
already left our waters, after having previously
made large purchases of 'such articles as meet
with -a profitable sale in the Crimea. Nor are
the English Frigates any longer visible. Some of
them have taken up their station before Veniee,and
the rest seem disposed entirely to quit the '
Adriatic
Gulph.

MILAN, Auc, i.—All over Italy, near double

considerable a degree as might be expeEted, on ac-
count of the large orders which have been rceived
from Switzerland, Berlin, &c. &c.

maintained will be respeaed by all Powers:
