This morning arrived a Mail from Lifbon,brought
to Falmou,h by the W4lfingham packet in ; 8 days—
by which we have received the f, Vowing intelligence:

" OPORTO, AUGUST 7.

" o.lr Conful has been informed by Captain
TAKER, of his Majefly's fhip TRIBUNE, that there
ar three M with velf4b cruizing off Cape Finifierre
an un the Coati 4 P rttigal, for the purpofe (they
f: y) of ez4mining the paffports of all merchant veffels
whatever. Their names are as fr Dow, viz.—Berica
of 16 guns ; Sworica, of t 8; and Mamona, of 12."

We yellerday announced the arrival of two Mcf
fenger s from T. nnirgen. We have not been able to
aicertain that they have brought ar.y intelligence
that was new relating to the Expedition to the Baltic.
The various rumours which prevailed at Yarmouth,
and the place *here thcfe Meffengerb landed, are de-
tailed it; the following Letter :

W INTF RTON, AUG. 24.

" Two Kirg's Mcifergers have landed here. The only news
they bring niative to the Expedition is, that the Fnglifh have pa', f
Ron of copenhagen, and that the Royal Family hale left that
City. This mws was brought by the Master of a fmall veffel from
Hufum, and t 0441 to the Governor of Heligoland, from whom the
Meirenger had it. who came over in the I.ady Nepean Packet,
which had to fight her way out of the F.yder. It was alto reported
at 'ronningen lad Monday, that upon Spanith troops bad marched
into Hamburgh.

" Lord Falkland, Captain of the Q2ehec frigate, has taken Os
Danqh Greenland naps, Which are on their way to Yarmouth,
nutter convoy of the Conftant gun brig; in which veffel is Mr.
Thornton his Majeity's Miniller in Lower Saxony. Colonel
Salter is alto artist*: at Yarmouth from Lord Hutchinfon. Mr.
Jsckfot: fet out for Copenhagen in Ids than an hour after the Crown
Prince left Kiel."
_ _ _

M. F. sit FR, one of the above Meffengers, Rates,
that I.e had been ordered to leave Tonningen imme-
diat ly, on the 14th ; and that on the 15th the packet
was attacked by the Danifft guard (Lip off Tonningen.
The ):,u ird lhip v as towed up by five boats full of
men, and coming vt i‘hin hail, was three times hailed
by the Pat.ket. No anfv.er, however, having been
returned, the packet fired, and fought her way with
lime difficulty to Heligoland. It is added Oft), that
the was fi. ed at by the Danifh batteries, and returned
the flee very i fitly. The I..ady Nepean had about
fit y fhot fired through her fails, but foil:tined no
other damage. Mr. Jactsom was fuppofed to have
joined the fleet, and gone on board Admiral Gam.
stua's fhip.

Whatever may be the refultof Admiral GAmllea's
Expedition, we confefs, we (hall regret if a decifive
aft has not long ago taken place. This we expetled,
b, th for the advantage of Denmark and of this
C. 'awry.
Had the itl,And of Zealand, and the Panith Navy,
been immedi ,tely feized, Denmark would not have
incutted the charge either of a dereliElion of the
line of neutrality, or of weaknefs. She would haver
with truth ani realm', alleged the unexpeded attack
by Sea, for which the was not prepared, and thus. have
given no pretence for the hoflility of that Enemy,
wh-fe mind is as fertile in pretences as the wolf
in his tranfallions with the lamb. But fine, time
has been given to Denmark to deliberate, the is
reduced to a sliftrefpng dilemma. Either the has
yielded to our terms cr not. If the BON/WAITS
will le. ze her continental dominions, beetufe he will
c untie. her a• attached to our caufe. if She has not,
and if Zealand is conquered by our arms, he will
cot& icr'her as too weak to prate& herfelf. and bring
her under the ditalion of his irrelillible p3unfelr.
With telpea to our
.own intereft, the areas of de-
lay are eq..tlly alarming. The Ifland has had fuf-
pcient time to put all her powers of defence into
saivity, to embody all her zeal and bravery, and to,
prefect a fp rutidable teliflance. If eve Succeed, we
ike bet, in Spite of her natural Rift to precerre our

f.iendfhlr•. a declared enemy. If we flpinld be baf ii
-
fl:d in ,tie attempt. we thall. acrortiing to the homely
ez.bicifinn. have Ihewn par teeth. when we could not
hi•e.

We repeat our fentiments : we expeOed mnre fpirit,l
mite decifinn, more aftion, from the manner in
which the expedition had been fired out •nd fent to
the &hie. On the policy of the tneafeire we are ter-
twin. olive bq one opinion. On this (Utica and on
:he imprahllity of a peace at pretest with the Con-
tinental P.m era. all Politicians agree. and they are
eq .ally clear on the neeeffity of maintaining our
maritime rights.

From the charaaerinic bravery of the Englint
Armament before Denmark, it is imponible not to i
augur an honourable termination of the expeited
artelt ; hut it is equally impeffible not to forefee
that the drat may be attended with the mon formi-
dable danger. The Public may form tome idea of
this peiil, from the following cutlery review of the
force of the enemy, and the nate of the works by
which Copenhagen is defended ;
The harbour of Copenhagen is circular, and tilt
entrance into it from the Sea is a channel or gut, the
middle of which only is navigable. The water on
each fide is very fhallr,w, and defended by a peculiar
kind of Military Wutk, called Naval Horns, the na-
ture and (lrcngth of which merit a more detailed ex-
planation.
_ _

They are made of large timber beams from fizteen
to thirty feet long. fhnd with iron, and put together
like Chevaux de Frye. They are then put on Oat bot-
tom veffels, and funk three, four, and five feet beceatb
the fut face of the water. In the Belts, and other
paffages, particularly in the narrow channels where
the water has neither tide nor current, they are eafily
laid down and taken up, The Swedes were the fit
who made Life of there works, and they have fubfe•
quently been adopted both at Cronfiatelt and Copen-
hagen.

The Efate of the airlift' Navy, which is all in the
Inner Harbour, and which is defended by a line of
thole naval horn works, being moored in an artificial
canal, formed by the coaft on one fide, asd there
lines on the other, is as follows;

Immediately after the Arrival of Mr. Pantrnasaw,
the Mellinger, ) efierday, a Cabinet Council was mum
moned, which fat until five o'clocisswhen Mr. Mmes.
wort-ro, the Mellinger, was ordered to fet off with
difpatches to Lord G. L Gowsa, at St Pete; &wet.
In the &Mince of all authentic intelligence refpec-
ting the aitual flare of affairs in the Baltic, a Va-
riety of reports, as is naturally to be expcoed, aie
afloat,. chaiaglerillic of the public anxiety and
folicitude. Amid the &ming rumours, !here was a
report 'all night in the City, that after fome vigorous
hollilities, the Danifh fleet had fallen into our hands,
and that Copenhagen itself had been taken, with the
lots, on our part, of 6,000 men. The report that
reached us on Monday from Edinburgh, though with
lets confiier.ce, was aim revived. It was added,
the Danes had nt.t only voluntarily furrendered their
fleet, but had alto requelled the allitiance and protec-
tion rf our armament againft the common enemy.—
Such reports we may naturally ewe, till fome ast
thentic and ~fscial communication !Lail relieve us
from our prefint painful fulpence.

Yellerday the Guards changed Q.2arters, accord
ing to annual cullom; thole that acre quartered on
the Publicans went into Barracks. There was a
change am: ng th.se in Barracks, and another bat-
talion wac lent to (tatters intlead of theft that went
into Barracks.

Government have futpended the volunteering from
the Militia into the Line for a few days, in order that
the getting in of the harvell may not be impeded, the
military being generally emplord in that praiiewor-
thy bufinefs. The orders and inftruftinns we►e read
yefterday morning to the Perth and Weft Norfolk
Regimeats of Militia at Canterbury. The Perth were
to turn out this day, and the Norfolk on the tft of
September

One hundred and fifty fine fellows from the North
York Militia, at prefent fiati coned in Suffez. have vo.
lunteered for the Regulars. I'he rendezvous for the
Suffer diftriet is at Silverbill Barracks, where the Of
ficers of the Royals are at pi efent waiting to receive
the men who may volunteer. The recruits from the
North York received the Pe guineas bounty on the
fpnt.
