the Downs, prove to be the divifion of men of war
and tranfports from Copenhagen, under Admiral

Great praife is due to the Commanders employed
on this fervice, for the wonderful difpatch with
which every thing was got ready to leave Copenha-
gen by the time agreed upon in the Capitulation.
The iffand of Zealand was completely evacuated on
the 21a inßant.

ig DEAL, OCTOBER 29.

The (hips reported in my letter of yeflerday to
have anchored at the bick of the North Sand Head
(fuppofed to be Admiral SvasHOPß's fquadron),. re-
-1
main at anchor in the fame place : in all probability
they wait till the wind is favourable for them tv, pro.
coed to the weßward. The Fylla, Danifh prize fhip,
of 24 guns ; and the London tranfport, No. 136,
arrived in the Downs, round the South Sand Head,
from the Baltic. The tranfport has on board part of
the King's German Legion : they Rate, " that all
the troops were embat ked on board the Britifh (hips,
which, with the Danifh fleet, patted the Great Belt on
the 2111 inßant, and were hourly expedleJ to arrive."
The following are the Danifh (hips of war under
convoy of Admiral STANHOPE :
Chrlftian VII. 96 guns
Denmark 74
Three Crowns • 74
Skeold 74
Together with a number of frigates, fmall craft and
tranfports, laden with troops and Danifh Rores.
Some of the Morning Papers Rate that LordCATH•
CART had arrived in town, but this is incorree. His
Lordfhip bad not reached London when this Paper
was put to profs.

It is faid that another Expedition is preparing,
which is to be commanded by Sir SYDNEY SMITH
A number of tranfports have been taken up by Go•
vernment within there two or three days.

Yeflerday there was a Cabinet Council at the Fo
reign Office, at which the Duke of PORTLAND, the
Earl of WESTMORELAND, Lords Flawkessuzy and
MULGRAVE, Mr. CANNING, and the CHANCELLOR Of
the EXCHEQ_DER aßfted.

Lord HAW/EMMET had a conference for nearly
two hours with Mr. Canwrac on Wednefday, at the
Foreign Office.
On Wednefday Mr. Monitor the Mefrenger. ar
rived at the Foreign Office with difpatches from St.
Peter (burgh.
Sir SIDNEY SMITH had a long interview with the
Board of Admiralty yetterday.
An advance has taken place in the falaries of the
feveral Officers of Excite, in the following pro-
portions, viz. colledors from 301. to Rol. fupervifors,
401. collectors' clef ks, 401. foot•walk officers, 151. and
riding officers, rot. per annum.
The increafe in the falaries of the clerks in public
offices is not general. It is confined to the Navy
Offices.

A veffel arrived yefterday in fourteen days from
Memel. The Captain Rates, that the King of
Praia was (Lill at that port, where it is underftood
he will remain for the winter, and that towards the
fpring he will proceed to Berlin. His Majefty is
very popular among the inhabitants of Memel, who
appear to foothe his feelings by every sianifeftation
of a finccre fympathy in his fate. He daily walks
and rides abroad, accompanied generally but by one
attendant. His converfa►ion with loch of the inha•
bitants as he happens to meet, is pettedly free, and
of that nature which never fails to intereft the people
in the fate of a great man, without diminifhing their
refpeet for his Ration. His Majefty's habits are pecu-
liarly temperate, fomewhat refembling thole of our
own Sovereign. He is on his ufual walk by fix
o'clock in the morning, breakfafts by eight, dines by
two, and takes a ride afterwards. His time for re-
tiring to bed is generally about eleven. The (hong
marks of attachment which his Majefly has expe-
rienced from the people of Memel, is fuppofed there
to be the caufe of his long intended refidence among
them. But we rather think there are other reafons
fir his delay in returning to Berlin.

Since the return of BONAPARTII to Paris, he has
adopted additional precautions for the fecurity of his
perfon. It is now forbidden to approach him for
the purpofe of prefenting a petition. The followinb
article upon this fubjed was lately publifbed by au-
thority :

• Many perfons think to fucceed in their petitions by making
indifereet and even culpable efforts to approach the perfon of the
Emperor. Whims have occurred where, in defiance of all deco-
rum, people have endeavoured to farce their way through the
Errp ror's guard, and to attract notice by loud cries. On Sunday
kit, when the Emperor and Emprefs honoured the Comic Opera
with their pretence, a young man forced through the perfons
compohog their Majefties' fuite, for the purpofe of prefenting a
petition. He was immediately arrefted ; but as the violence of
his procedure was infpired by a motive which was worthy of 's-
cale, he was fet at liberty. Do there imprudent petitioners think
that a fooliih audacity is more likely to obtain fuccefs than peti •
Lions addreffed to the calm and vigilant juftice of the Monarch ?
When there are fuch refources open to misfortune, is it pardon.
