PORTUGUESE PATRIOTS:

-. • .
Letters from. Oportd, of the 25th of June, in-
form us, that their new Governor, OLIVEIRA, has
been detected in a correspondence with Jusor,
and that he was immediately seized and conducted
to the rope walk for execution., They also state,
that three thousand French troops, under the com-
mand of Lotsos, had arrived within a few miles of
Oporto ; the bells of the city were instantly ring ; the
people assembled, all arn:cd ; and in a few -hours,
including the regular troops, upwards •of 70,000
men were ready to take the field ; they are furnished
with arms, ammunition, artillery, and every necessary
article, and were determined to proceed to Lisbon,
but first to attack the troops under Lotsos. Other
letters state, that these troops had been cut to pieces,
as well as the detachment which had been. sent to-
, wards Ayamonte. The latter is said to have taken
place before General SPENEER arrived at that place.
Many disaffected persons had been taken up for es-
pousing the cause of the French. An English armed
brig went into the Douro, to offer assistance to the
Portugueze ; but they did not stand .in need of it.
The Captain was saluted, and then returned. All the
letters from Oporto are written in the most confident
and cheering language. The ports are open. Two
vessels are arrived oft Dover, and seven more are ex-
pected immediately.
Further accounts say, a The French troops which
had approached Oporto, fell back on the advance of
the Patriotic Army, and, it was umierstoed, had
reached Coimbra, in the hope of effecting a junction
with the main body at Lisbon. The accounts from
Lisbon by this conveyance come down only to the
2341, and present nothing fresh. "The Swiss Regiments
of Reding and Preux have joined the Spanish Patriots
—the latter was. ordered against the Insurgents at
Toledo, but when directed to fire, went over them
in a body. Thirty of them were taken on some sub-
sequent occasion, and shot."
By the ORESTES, of 18 guns, which arrived at
Plymouth on Saturday, from the Mediterranean,
with dispatches for Government, we have received
accounts from Portugal. The ORESTES called off
Lisbon on the ROth ult. where she learnt that the
cause of the Pairiots was going on very well, and
that they only wed assistance from this country,
to compel the surrhder of the Russian fleet, as well
•
as IL;NUT and his army.

•• • IA the course of this investigation, it is not only possible,
but highly probable, that the Author may fall into many inaccu-

It has been incorrectly stated in come-of the M.)rn.

met yesterday ; and, after deliberating some time,
finally decided upon the Sentence to be pronounced.
The Court certainly did meet yesterday, at ten
o'clock, in the Board Room of Chelsea College; but .
they adjourned almost immediately, consequence
of the indisposition of the Judge-Advocate-General.
This morning the Members again assembled in die
Board-room, and the Judge-Advocate General being
present, they proceeded to deliberate, with closed
doors, on their smtence. They continued sitting at
twelve o'clock.

SHEERNESS, JAN. 23.

Arrived, his Majesty's ship Nautilus, from the
Nore. His Grace the Duke of MANCHESTER has em-
barked on board the Guerrier frigate at the Nore,
and will immediately sail, we understand, to the West
Indies : on his Lordship's arriving on board the fri-
gate he was saluted. Yesterday the brig Hero, of
Boston, in Lincolnshire, Richard Fleck master, laden
with oats for London, in sailing by the Nore, struck
on a sunken wreck and knocked a hole in her bottom,
so that she soon sunk, but by the assistance of three
smacks she is got up, and is now gone up to London,,
but it is feared her cargo is much damagedby the
salt water. The effects-or the late dreadful gale ,ie
in some neeasuie *bated; bit the Level is still under
water.*** All the Danish merchant-ships that lie here
are condemned, and will proceed to the London

HAMBURGH, lAN. ii.

They write from different cities in Russia, that the
public opinion in that country is strongly expressed
against the English, and that the system, which has
been adopted by the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh is ge-
nerally approved. The orders of the Emperor, rela-
tive to English ships and property, have been execut-
ed every where with the utmost rigour, except at
Riga, where the Vice-governor has acted with much
feebleness—it is therefore said that the Government,
very dissatisfied with his conduct, has dismissed him
from his situation.
Several letters from St. Petersburgh say, that as
soon as the weather will permit, his Imperial High-
ness the Grand Duke Constantine will set out for
France, where he proposes to remain some time.
COPENHAGEN, JANUARY 2.

A paper published here contains the following esti-
mate of the whole loss which Denmark has suffered
by the English expedition. The number of ships of
war carried away or destroyed is stated at seventy-six,
carrying togethertwo thousand two hundred and forty-
six guns. The whole fleet consisted of 18 ships of the
line, 16 frigates, 10 brigs, 26 gun-boats, 4 prawns,
and 2 floating-batteries, besides other smaller vessels.
It is estimated, that a ship of 98 guns costs 250,000
rix-dollars building ; one of 84, 212,000 ; one of 74,
156,000 ; a frigate of 44 guns, 9'7,000 ; and a ship
of 24 guns, 50,000 ; and the smaller vessels in the
same proportion : according to which calculation, we
shall find results a total of 5,222,000 rix-dollars. It is
likewise estimated that a ship of war, completely
equipped, costs at the rate of 6,000 rix.dollars Danish
currency. It is also observed, that the immense quan-
tity of marine stores and timber necessary for ship-
building, collected in the magazines of the Holm,
and carried away or destroyed by the English, must
be valued at thrice that sum :--and if to these be
added the damage occasioned to Copenhagen and the
country by the bombardment, fire, pillage, &c. ; and
if we calculate also the loss sustained by the total
stagnation of trade, the capture of the merchant ships,
and the losses suffered by Denmark out of Europe,

to-morrow we expect three more regiments of cavalry,
and :t regiment of horse artillery to arrive in our.ar.-

LETTER FROM AN OFFIRER WITII SIR S. HOOD.

" Centaur, off Little Roge, August 26.

" The Russian Admiral, having obtained information at
Sweaborg, that the British and Swedish ships in the Gulph,
amounted to only six sail of the line, put to sea with twelve
ships of else line, in the expectation of being able to carry us to
Cronstadt. He found us, however, moored to such advantage,
that he thought it inexpedient to hazard an attack, and he con-
tinued cruizing off the Bay till the 23d, when four More Swedish
ships of the line joined us, and we put to sea to give battle to the
enemy, although still two ships short of their numb.
" Sir S. HOOD, in the Centaur, followed by the Implacable,
led the van of the combined squadron, and these vessels, greatly
outsailing the Swedish ships, brought the rear division of the
enemy's to action, when, after about twenty minutes fighting, the
Scavolax struck to the Implacable. At this time the Swedes were
more than four miles astern, and the Russian Admiral hoping
to profit by the circumstance for the recovery of the Scavolax,
hole down to her rescue—seeing this, the prize rehoisted her
colours, and renewed her fire, but Sir SAMUEL HOOD, nothing in-
timidated by the approach of so superior an enemy, immedi-
ately ran alongside of her, and boarded her in the most gallant
manner. The Russians, encouraged by the prospect of succour,
made a most determined resistance, and upwards of four hun-
dred of them were killed or wounded, when the Imperial coloes
were again lowered. During this contest, the Scavolax grounded,
and Sir SAmort. HOOD, despairing of bringing her off, set her on
fire, having previously removed the prisoners. The Swedish fleet
had by this time joined us, and the enemy not daring to renew
the action, made sail in evident confusion, anfl from the dull sail-
ing of the Swedish ships, escaped. They are sow lying between
the light-house and the fort in Rogerwick Bay, and we are off the
former, in the hope that they will again venture out."

Sir J. SAUMAREZ was off Gothland on the 28th ult.
with the Vic-TonY, Gould', MARS, and AFRICA ; and
it is added, had joined Sir S. HooD, off the coast of
Esthonia, previous to the date of his last dispatches.
