A very considerable division of the Fleet from
Copenhagen may be hourly expeEted. Admiral
STANHOPE, with nine Sail of the Line, several Fri-
gates, and a great number of Transports laden with
naval stores, sailed on the 121 h inst. The Eliza
Tender, which sailed with the Fleet, parted from it
oa the 22d inst. ; at that time they were all safe and
well. The Eliza arrived at Shields on the 25th.

Tnz following. Letter, which was sent by the
American Consul at Amsterdam to all the American
Merchants in that City, has occasioned considerable
surpriie, and given rise to much speculation :
" I have to request, that you• will hasten the departure of
any American Vessels that may be to your address, with all
expedition. (Signed) " S. BOURNE,
" Amstcriarn, isth Ott. 18)7. American Consulate."

Thi3 Circular Letter, it is slid, was written by
BoottNz,' .in consequence of intelligence which
he received from Mr. ARMSTRONG, the American
Minister at Paris, slating, that it was the determi-
nation of the French Government to carry the fa-
mous Decree of November, 1800, for putting Eng-
land into a state of blockade, into execution with
the utmost rigour, and that as it was probable the
English would retaliate, by seizing all Ships going
to, or coming from tt,Yrench Port, it was expedient
that all American Vessels should get away as
soon as possible. According, however, to other
accounts, BUONAPARTR, finding the American Go-
vernment unwilling to engage in hostilities against
this Country, hcid threatened to declare War against
them.. Which of these' two causes, or whether
either of them induced the American Consul to
write this Letter, we have not at present the means
of ascertaining; but we confess Ave do not see any
grounds for thinking a War between America and
France at all probable.

Ir is hardly necessary to state to our Readers,
that the reports which have been so confidently cir-
culated, of the complete adjustment of the dif-
ferences between this Country and America, are
without foundation. In consequence et the very li-
mited power:; given to Mr. Mouitoz, the Negotia-
tion is at present in faa suspended, and cannot be
resumed until Mr. ROSE 'reaches America. We of
course are ignorant of the nature of the Instrudions
given to Mr. ROSE, but there is one point which we
trust Government will insist upon, and that is, that
the Americans should not continue the pra&ice of
naturalizing British Subjads, by the simple process
of giving a Shilling Certificate; and afterwards claim-
ing those Persons as natural born American 'SO-
jedc pr►6lice, which has lately increased to
an alarming extent, will, we hope, now be put an
end to.

Tim report of the alarming state of the Duke of
roart.a.sn's health is,. we are happy to say, un-
founded, His Grace was able to dine with his
friends at finlstrode on Saturday last, .-and we have
nut heard that 'he has had a relapse.. ,

)itrotvArmr.TE is probably by, this time on his road •
• tie Italy. The letters from MiVan and Venice men-
tion,,that he w.is expet'tted to visit each of these cities
bdore Christims. The last Paris Papers announce
his speedy 4eparture. This is a journey rather of a
political tliati military nature ; its ()Ned is holiness,
not mentation, Nothing now can prevent France
from obtaining, possession of the Morea, and of as
many of the Greek Islands as she may find cons eni-
t for her purposes. When the Emperor Ar.,ex,a4-
wit gave up Corfu and Cataro, he ratified his per-
petual exclusion from the, Meclitcrnmean, and relin-
nnisitcd 811 pretension.; to attain the rank of a naval
rwer. The.,.Black Sen-aml,theaulph of Finland
Are likely to be henceforth the utmost limits of the

Yesterday, about one o'clock, 37 artillery wag.,
gnus arrived at the Bank, with upwards of a ton of
silver in each, in bars. They were. escorted by two
numerous parties amounted and diimounted Light

ItAVNs-
cltUs"l'. This treasure was chiefly brought to Eng-
land by the Diana, from Vera Cruz. The artillery
waggons set otf for London from Chatham about
nine o'clock on Sunday ; their arrival at the Batik
attr4ed a very great crowd.

Royals, the Duke of KENT has got so many volun-

most zealous in his personal exertions to recruit this
antient and renowned Regiment, the Ist Foot.

The 2d battalion of the Quarter-Master-General's
regiment, the 9th Foot, has been one of . the most
successful 'in recruiting from the English Militia.
This battalion is likelyto be soon sent to India.

Extra& of a Letter from an American Gentleman
in London to his Friend in New Yoik :

" Since I wrote you last I have ascertained the fol-
lowing facts :
" Ist. That our Government instru6ted our Mi-
nisters not to agree to any Treaty that did not make
an American ship a sanctuary for seamen.
" 2d. That the British Commissioners absolutely
refused to insert any clause to that effea in the
Treaty, inasmuch as it went to encourage desertion
from their ships; and, when deserted, thereby pro-
tented.

" 3d. That our Ministers in consequence declared
the Negotiation at an end.
" 4th. That the British Commissioners solicited a
continuation of the negotiation on all the other sub-
jects, which was agreed to, upon the express condi-
tion that such partial Treaty should not be held
official on the part of the United States. •

" btll. In lieu of the Article regarding Seamen,
insisted upon by our Ministers, the British Com-
missioners, in form of a letter, avowed the pradice
they would pursue towards the United • Sta►es re-
garding Seamen.
Gth. There was no additional Aiticle to the
Treaty (as was supposed), but the British Com-
missioners addressed a letter to our Ministers (after
BUONAPARTE'S decree of blockade), declaring them-
selves at liberty to countervail the measures France
might pursue under that Decree, unless America re-
sisted the encroachMents of France.

"/,.. That the Treaty in other respects was as
favourable and reciprocal as could reasonably be ex-
, peEted.
" No apprehensions exist of any change of senti-
ment towards America, in consequence of the new
Administration. In case no Treaty should be agreed
upon, we shall only be considered to stand on the
ground we did before we had a treaty with this
country. Our sea-letter Ships will not be permitted
to enter as American Ships in British ports."
PHILADELPHIA, SEPT: ifi.--Copy of a Letter
from an American Gentleman in Loudon' to his
Friend in this city I have only time to mention
two or three observations from some pointed in-
quiries which have been made regarding Pensacola,
the -depth of ts.ater there, the security of the har-
bour, quantity of troops, &c. England has an eye.
on that quarter. America is no longer viewed with
indifference by this country as 'regards her com-
merce, but considered a ,powerful rival.. The' Bei.:
tish, I. am well persuaded, wool(' g.i aoy length to
destroy' our carrying trade, and check our enter-
prizes I but the calculation, seems to,be, that they'
must equally injure themselves to injure us. We
have almost destroyed the East' India and China
trade of this Country.",

PIOtOI4 Sitoortuo.--A match was made on Tues-
day last, tier l'Vlessrs Herriot and King, skilful
shots', who bad exhibited about two months since,
and .destroyed a .great many birds, in shooting
oil' ties, to shoot again for 100 guineas at nineteen
pigeons; and yesterday morning the parties met
on Finchley Cemmon, to contend again for su-
periority. Buttings • were About level. In the last
match each of ,the pirtiea killed 19 birds, bUt their
skill fell very short of that in the present instance.
King, who is a gamekeeper, misted the first, and
second, and the ninth, eleventh, and tweilth birds,
and yet was a winner without shooting out the
match. Herriot killed his first bird, and missed
the next four, one of which tell out of bounds: He
killed the sixth and seventh, •and missed three
others ; and after King had killed his fifteenth
pigeon, he won the match, his adversary not being
within making a tie, jibe had killed alibis remain-
ingbirds.
