Count BERNSTOPP, the Danish Envoy, applied yes-
tOrday for passports, and this morning took his de.
parture from London, having failed in the object of
his mission to this country. If we may credit the
rumours that are in circulation on this subject, and
the departure of the Count gives them much appear-
ance of truth, the demands of Denmark. were such
as might be expected from a power that has a rights
to give law to the Maim ; and not at all what
'night have been expected from one which should
occupy the place of a suppliant—from one which
should make the atnende honorable, for having preferred
a war with England to one with NAPOLEON I

The KING of DENMARK, it seems, has the modesty
to demand, as the price of desisting from hostilities'
'against us, the restitution of the Islands of St. Thomas,
Ct. John, St. Croix, and Heligoland—the ships taken.
•t Zealand, 8600,000 in money, and a few other
items, indicative of the generous sentiments of this
powerful but condescending Monarch !
Comply with such requisitions!—Bribe the KING
cf DENMARK to do justice to himself, to his people,
to the nations of Europe ! Is the man in his senses?

When we had all the world against us, Ministers
Ivould have spurned at such a proposition. Have
the circumstances of Denmark been mended by late
• -events ?—Are our pursuits more hopeless, that such
insolent demands should be made upon us ?—Let the
Allies do justice to themselves!

The Emperor of Russia and King of PRUSSIA
have appointed a Council of Regency, for the Go-
vernment of the North of Germany, until the final
restoration of the independence of the various States.
Baron VON SrErw, a diplomatist of great talent, and
who had the honour to be unflawed by BONAPARTE
two years ago, for his hostiEty towards his system of,
universal dominion, has been nominated to the high
effice of President of this Council.

Yesterday Count STRAEOTY, who arrived in Lon-
don on Sunday from Germany, was introduced to
the PRINCE REGENT, by Cpua,t MUNSTER, and had an
audience of his Royal kfigimess for a considerable
erne.
The Duke of CUMBEALAND left Town yesterday to
proceed cn his way to Berlin. The Royal Duke left
his apartments in St James's Palace about one o'clock,
and walked to Carlton House to take leave of the
PRINCE REGENT. About an hour after, four of the
Dikes domestics, who are to go abroad with him,
came in his Royal Highness's travelling carriage to
Carlton-house, took up some luggage, and then set
off to proceed on their journey. The Royal Duke,
soon after three o'clock, left Carlton-house, and en-
tered his open barouche, accompanied lay Captain
TORTIERI his Equerry. His Royal Highness wore a
green Morocco travelling-cap, and made in the Rus-
-man style, lined with fur, and ornamented with gold
lace and buttons. He was to dine and sleep at Ge-
neral LIN2ENGIN'S, near Ipswich, last night. His
saddle-4qm: were to follow him this day.


REPORTED DEFEAT or THE FRENCH
. GARRISON OF MAGDEBURG.

A Heligoland Mail arrived this morning, brought
to Harwich in three days by the Diana, Captain
M‘DoNovan. By this opportunity we learn, that
the Russian and Prussian armies are pressing around
Magdeburg in formidable numbers ; and it is reported
that in a recent sortie, the besieged lost no less than
17,000 in killed, wounded, and prisoners. We fear
the latter part of th 4 report is exaggerated, for the
whole garrison of Magdeburg does not exceed 10,000
men, if we are to believe the statements in the Ger-
man Papers. The sortie is said to have taken place
on the 16th, and other accounts state that the loss of
the French amounted to 12,000.

Our Readers will perceive from the subjoined ex-
tracts, that the career of the allied armies is highly
prosperous, while nothing but ruin and dismay at-
tends the fugitives:

" HELIGOLAND, APRIL 24.
" A vessel has just arrived, which left Altona
yesterday, at eleven o'clock : the Captain states, that
an official account had been published at Hamburgh
by General Tettenborn, on the morning of that day,
announcing that the French, having made a sortie
from Magdeburg, were attacked by the combined
Russians and Prussians, who completely defeated
them, with the loss of three Generals and 17,000
men. The Captain affirms, the Bulletin had been
published, and caused universal joy in Hamburgh.
Davoust is again at Lunebourg. Dornberg is
on the alert, to prevent his passing the Elbe, with
7000 men.

sg At Hamburgh all are learning the use of arms.
Some works of defence are thrown up on the river
side, and an order has been given that all vessels and
craft should be removed from the Hanoverian side
of the Elbe over to Hamburgh, to prevent the possi-
bility of his getting across below where Dornberg is
posted.

" About 2000 Cossacks advanced as far as within
four miles of Bremen ; they posted themselves at
Libenthal : a sortie was made from Bremen, and the
Cossacks left the place. They, however, made an
attack from another quarter, and again drove the
French out of Libenthal, the whole of which was
consumed by fire. The French retreated to Bremen.
—From Bremen we have no direct news, but by
way of Cuxhaven we are informed, there were about
7000 men there, under Vandamme. Both the Old
and New Town are in their possession.
" The beautiful plantations on the ramparts have
been cut down, and some works of defence have been
thrown up on them, and outside of one of the gates.
g, It is repotted, a corps of Cossacks has crossed
the river Weser.

" In Bremen, 80,000 dollars have been again le-
vied by the French.
,6 On the 20th instant a letter was sent from M.
Ellerman to General Tettenborn, accompanied by
£6OO sterling, the amount of a subscription raised on
this small island, for the equipment of the Hanseatic
Legion. Our Governor handsomely contributed to-
wards it—thus setting a noble example.
