from it.

This morning a Mail arrived from Denmark, of
which the following are the principal contents :.
GOTTENBUEGH, JAN. 23 .—Yesterday
.—Yesterday arrived a
Courier from St. Petersbuigh, with Dispatches .for
the English POvernment, and for the Russian
Mi-
nister in London. ."

COPENHAGEN, JAN. 17.—Accounts from Berlin
state that ,the French troops in Poland are all going
into winter quarters, and that any further operations
would be suspended till the spring. BONAPARTE
Was expe&ed at Berlin on the loth instant, but it
was not certain whether he would pass the winter
there or at Dresden.

ExtraEt of a Letter from Copenhagen, dated Jan.
18, 1807: " Although the Post from*Flarnburgh is
just arrived, there_ is not a word of news in the
Papers respeEting affairs in Poland ; but we have
certain accounts from Hamburgh, stating, that the
French have suffered a severe defeat from the Rus-
sians, and have, in four days that they continued,
fighting, viz. from the 26th to the 30th December,
lost 'upwards of 70,000 men, in killed, wounded,
and taken prisoners."

GOTTEN4URGIT, JAN. 23.—The herrings have not
been so abundant for many seasons past as at pre-
sent : they are now caught very high up the river.

STRALSUND, JAN. 152.-LThe French General Molt-
TIER has again taken possession of Attelam; with a
Corps of 5000 foot and woo horse; his artillery con.
sists Of 4 howitzers and t 2 twelve-poUnders. The
rest of his Corps, which, is in the whOle estimated at
14,000 men, occupy the neighbourin4 country ;
it is said to suffer much from want of provisions.
Generall‘roaTrua left Anclarn on the 525th of last
month, with the greatest part or the Garrison; and
Was joined between Lapin and Netzhoff by three
regiments of infantry ; manoeuvred some days in the
vicinity, and then teturned-to Auclam.

In the Duchy of Mecklenburgh remain at present
very few French Troops, most of them having
marched to..frussia. In the mean time the Coun-
try is treated in the most hostile manner ; in the
towns all sdrts tff goods are taken away on pretence
of their being English ; contributions of every de-
scription are levied on the Country, and the Duke's
arms replaced by those of the French Emperor.

At RihnitZ, as well as Dernmin, demonstrations
hava•beert madd to cross over to this hide, and to
constfl bridges for that purpose. At Meyenkebs-
Pass a storm threw a considerable quantity of tim-
ber colleeted for the eortatmetiog of bridges on tLe

w"ezlish side, which the CoMmanding Officer 'of the
S,veLlish Chasseurs statioAed there seized upon, and
rejected the demand of the French Officers, who re-
claimed it, with contempt.

Between Stetnbuigh and But zow, in the tontchy
of Mecklenburgh, we ' understand a considerable
French park of irfillery has been obliged to halt on

account of the heaviness of the roads, which renders
the conveyance of ordnance almost impossible.

VIENNA, DECEMBER f: 7.—The fate of the Mar-
quis GIIISILIERI, who_ in• his capacity as Austrian
Commissary General in Albania and Dalmatia sur-
rendered Cataro to the RuSsians, is now decided; he
is dismissed from. the 4-nperiac Service, and sen-
tenced to be confined in'a fortress inTransylyakia
for the remainder of his life.

THE New York Paper of the Bth of January,
which we received this morning, contains the fol-
lowing.intaresting particulxs, respeaing the British
Force in the River La Plata :

" Mr. GILBERT DEBLOIS, Of Boston, passenger
in the Schooner Adda, from Cayenne, informs,
,that
he left the Port of Monte Video, in the River Plata,
on the 25th of Oaober last, at 1 4- o'clock at
,night,
in a small French Privateer Schooner, called the
L' Oiseau, Capt. Brno's,. (the only Vessel that had,
or would have, liberty to depart ,the port for some
months) and has handed us the following intelligence
relative to South America :
[After giving an account of the Capture of Buenos Ayres
by the British, and the Itc-capture by the Spaniards, the
Article proceeds.]

" Sir HOME PoPHAM was in Buenos Ayres when
it was re-taken, and with great difficulty effected his
escape in a boat to his Ships; after which, with the
exception of one Gun-brig left cruizing between the
Colonia and Buenos Ayres, he brought his Squadron
(consisting of his own Ship, elm Diadem, of 64 guns,
Capt. KING ; Raisonalle, 64, Capt. R2WLEY ; Dio-
mede, 50, Capt. PHILLIPS ; one Frigate, two Sloops
of War, and several Armed Transports) down the
River, and anchored in full view of the Harbour of
Monte Video.

" Some days he would have , every Ship under
weigh, at other times cuily one or two of easy
draught of water, who would stand in so close that
the very inhabitants could discern the buttons on
the Officers' uniforms. Sir HOME had sent into
Monte Video upwards of 30 flags of truce, de-
manding Gen. BERESFORD and his troops, a supply
of provisions, and some medicines for his sick and
wounded.

" The Governor, tired of such business, gene-
rously sent Sir HOME POPHAM a supply of fresh pro-
visions, and. twenty-three English seamen, who
were brought into Monte Video, a few months pre-
vious in an English Guineaman—and' saying,, that
he should not resped any more flags of truce from
that time. •
• ~
"'Sir HOME POPHAM answered the Governor's Ci-
vility, by accepting' the fresh supply of provisions,.
and receiving the .(43 seamen ; but, contrary to the
etiquette observed in time of War aboutlexchange of
prisioners, he refused to deliver up the like number
of Spaniards, which he might very easily have done,
as he had more than go in his possesSion, which were
taken from a small town on the south side of the
river. , • - .;

Several skirmishes had taken place between the,
•
English. Vessels and Spanish Gun-boats and Forts;
and almost every day they saluted Monte Video with-
-1 2 and islb. shot, which, to those people who
were peaceably attending to their business, and
especially the young ladies, who by their reli-
gion wore obliged to attend mass every day, was
ektremely ungenteel and inconvenient—for a few
days previous to Mr. D.'s departure, an English
Brig sent a number of heavy shot into and over the
city, some of, which had the audacity to tear away
the S. E. corner of St. Felippe's-Church ; however,
not many lives were lost; or much damage done.

• fc On the t.t.Eth of July last an embargo was laid
on all Vessels in the Port of Monte Video, and con-
tinued with more than usual rigour when Mr. D.
sailed. The reasons assigned were-Ist, that they
were going to fit out an expedition to retake Bue-,
nos. Ayres :—when that was accomplished, the
second was, that they were going to expedite
foul Vessels with dispatches for Spain :—when
that was done, and the four Dispatch essels,
by uncommon good luck, had escaped clear of
the Blockading Squadron in the river, the ' Go-
vernor's last objeEtion. to taking off the Embargo,
was, that the British Squadron were 'starving for
the want of provisions, which every body 'knew to
the contrary, as the. Raisonable, a Man of War, had
been dispatched to, and arrived from, Rio Janeiro
with so much of a supply as to be obliged to caulk
in her loWer tier of gun-ports.
" It was reported before Mr. D. nailed, that Sir
HOME POPHAM had received a reinforcenjent of
3,500 men from the Cape of Good Hope, which he
believes to be true, a's be himself counted 35 Sail at
anchor five miles below Monte Video, between Point
CArrettas and the Island of Motes, the same 'evening
he sailed.: and . it was knows i that •iti. Sail more

had arrived of ATaMonad° a city.. at the en-
trance of Rio Plata, as the Oovernor of Moine
Video had, 'tile- 23d 06.16ber, received a Let-
ter from
„the 'Commandant, at Maio, who wrote
to that et e&. If this force. has arrived, Sir.Hoz,in
will undoubtedly attack Monte Video : but whether
he will be able to tt:ke possession, 'even with 5000
men, is vpry-uncertain, ps. the Spaniards have nezirlY
10,000, abd bre in high-spirits.-

AT the Macquerade at the Opera House on Thurs-
day night Major Morrison and Mr: Wtik ins,. of Red
Lion-square, were met and hustled in the passage, on
the King's side, by a gang of five pickl ocket.s. i'.fajoi-
MorriSoh received a violent-blow on his.head, which
knocked his hat off, and while-he was sawing his-hat
the villains endeavoured to force his watch out of his
pocket. They did not succeed, but broke the god
chain in the attempt, and made off. with the chain
and seals. Mr. Wilkins-also received a blOw,onthe
temple, which nearly Inocked.him down ; but lie
recovered -himself, and struggled with th assailants
for his watch, and they at ktigth made otr, some
other Gentlemen coming up.- The gang is supposed
to be-Bill Storke's, lately 'from Birmingham; as they
had a kid (a hoy) with them. On the company-re-
tir-ing from the supper roonl tee condhet ollthe
pick-
~pockets was still more daring. SeyeralStispected per-
sons were secured, and the cry of" pickpockets!" re-.
sounded through the place. TownSehthand several
constables-at length appealed. Among those who
had been secured Townsend seleued one Who, he
said, he had known to be a,pickpocket these .-2.0 years,
and assured the Gentlemen they were mistaken in:
the others ; but they insisted up on,oheof them being
,secured as he had attempted to rescue the other.
Townsend- being informed' that 'his old ac-
quaintance had .been observed to throW away three
watches, he asked hint if he could not 'line been
contented with the three Ticks (watches), but Must
attempt a foutrth ? The villain acknowledged his er-
ror; and told the Officer he should not have come,
there, if some of his Pals (companion pick-pockets)
had not told him, since his return from Botany Bay,
he (Townsend) did. net attend the Masqueraqes. and
Piay-houses. The villain had been
and asserted that he was a Gentleman, till o‘ur-:
sehd.made his appearance.
.Townsend concluUrag,
from. his own observation and the accounts of others,
that there was a strong gang of pick-pockets in the
place,`and„ le:trirtg that they might- al teMpt a TeFcue,
applied to theSerieant of the Guard for a .fiie of men,.
which was granted, and . Mackay was conveyed to

Constables. •
Yesterday morning the Watch-house Keq)er hay-.

tody of some 'Gentlemen who .had seized him;

,and very- soon atter„ he saw the Prisoner throw
away another watch, which witness pieked up and

produced.
ThornaS Robins, Esq. who had been robbed of
his watth, attended, but declined acknowledging
who he was, or where he yesidecl; or to wake his

. .
charge upon oath. Sir -Wit. PAttso NS. urged the. !le_
cessity of it, and that it was.a duty he owed to the
public and himself. , Mr. Robins' replied, he was
well convinced of that in his own mind, but that his

obje(lion was, he was ashamed that it should be

linawri"he had been to such a place, or had been in

Such company; he, however, at length, gave his

evidence upon oath, and stated, that at the general
bustle about pickpockets, he discovered that be had
lost his watch, and found the Prisoner close to him,
and, as he supposed, in the as of taking his watch',
he endeavoured in vain to secure him, and while he

vas in this ad, he supposed the Prisoner put the
watch into his waistcoat pocket. Mr. R's watch
was not found upon the, Prisoner, nor has it been
since recovered.

Capt. Henry MoreSamsoh, h the East India ser-
vice, said, that about three o'clock he saw the

Prisoner running down stairs, pursued by several
people, and observed him throw or drop. a watch
close to him, which he picked up, having hold of the
Prisoner at the same time the Witness produced the
watch.

John Henbry, of Devonshire-street, Queen-
square, merchant, identified the gold watch, chain,
and seals, produced by the last Witness, as his pro-
perty, and said he missed them between twelve and

_
