ALTONA, JUNE 24.

It is reported that the Swedes have failed in an
attempt to penetrate into Norway, and lost a great
number of men.—Bremen Gazene.

A slight reverse of fortune has befallen our opera-
tions in Canada. Halifax Papers to the 13th ult.
contain accounts, that on the 29th May, a detach-
ment of 200 men, headed by Captains POPHAM and
Smsauftv, was overpowered by numbers, at Sandy
Creek, and compelled to surrender. It was a boat
expedition, and if successful would have crippled the
American armament on the Lakes to a formidable
extent.

An article in the National Intelligences gravely insi-
nuates that Russia will take part with America in
demolishing our maritime rights I How pertina-
ciously does the present Government of America ad-
here to its worse than frantic policy I Fraud, delu-
sion, and deception, are the engines employed to re-

tone& the people to die continuance of the war. I'l4
veil will of course be speedily removed.

The Copy-Right Bill deserves the particular atten-
tion of every Member of Parliament. There never
was a claim pteferred in Parliament more directly
opposed to all the ptinciples of equity and sound po.
licy, than that of the Universities to have eleven
copies gratis of every Author's work, and of every
imprbired edition. The supporters of these claims
tell us, that a Tax thus laid upon Authors, for the
benefit of the Universities, will be laid by the Book-
sellers upon the public. This is an admission that the
public alone ought to bear public burthens—and no
private individuals exclusively.
If then the Universities are in want of funds [but
the assertion is false], let them be supplied from the
public generally—let them have a grant for the pur.
chase of books. To recognize their claim in the
Bill, would be to legalize oppression and injustice,
and would prove a great hindrance to tl.e progre,s
of science and literature. We have often cbserved,
that public bodies feel no compunction, as bodies, in
doing that which would make the face of any mem.
ber burn with shame, as an individual. The de.
mend of the Universities is a strong proof of the
justness of the remark.

Yesterday, a little before two o'clock, the Princess
CHARLOTTE, attended by her Ladies in Waiting, Mrs.
LEWIS, her dresser, &c. left Carlton House for Cran-
bourn-Lodge. Her Royal Highness went in one of
the PRINCE REGENT'S carriages, and attended by the
Prince's servants. Her saddle-horses went before ;
eight of the Royal Bays are to be at the disposal of her
Royal Highness during her residence at Cranbourn-
Lodge. Her four phaeton ponies were exercised in
the King's-mews yesterday, in expectation of being
ordered for Cranbourn Lodge.
Lord STEWART, brother of Lord CASTLEREAGH, is
to be our Ambassador to the Court of Vienna. His
Lordship will be accompanied by Captain Frrz•

Yesterday the Workmen began new erections in
the front of Carlton House, for the Grand Ball and
Fete on Thursday next.
The Duke of SAXE Weisteut and suite embarked
on Sunday, at Harwich, on board the Albion packet,
for Helvoetsluys.
The Petition for the Abolition of the Slave Trade,
presented last night to both Houses of Parliament,
from the Tower Hamlets and vicinity, was signed by
3:3,681, names, on 410 feet of parchment
Yesterday afternoon several Members of the House
of Commons inspected the General Post Office, in
Lombard-street, in order to ascertain, for their own
satisfaction, how far it is sufficiently commodious for
carrying on the business of that department.
Lord CASTLIMEAGH gave a sumptuous entertain-
ment on Sunday to the Prince Regent, the Dukes of
York and Cambridge, the Duke and Duchess of
Wellington, &c.
The Officers of the Army gave a superb Fete last
night at Burlington House, in honour of the Duke
of WELLINGTON.

Yesterday a Common Hall was held at the Guild.
hall of the City of London, to elect two Sheriffs, in
the room of WILLIAM BARLOW, Esq. discharged, and
'JOHN Trromws, Esq. who has paid the fine to be ex-
cused. The names of the several Gentlemen in no-
mination were put up, and the Sheriffs declared Wit,.
LIAM CLARKE, Esq. and JOSEPH LEIGH, Esq. to be
duly elected for the year ensuing.
THE GRAND JURILEL—In our Paper of yesterday
we gave the Official Programme of the approaching
grand Jubilee in the Parks. We have n•iw to add
the following :—The whole of the Green Park, out-
side the circular fence round the TeinCe, will be
, open to the public at large, where, from the gradual
rising of the ground in every p :rt, a most excellent
view will be obtained of the T.:mple, and in most
pacts of the Pagoda and Bridge in St. James's.paik.
From the Green Park also the people will have a
communication into the Mall, and up Constitution-
hill to Hyde-park, where the Naumachia will corn-
,
mence about five o'clock in the afternoon. In this
, representation of a sea-fight, the various manoeuvres
of two hostile fleets will be practised, with every ap-
parent circumstance of I eality, such as chacing, form-
ing and breaking .the line, with distant and close
action ; occasional and heavy cannonading, and at
nightfall the effect of fire-ships on an enemy's fleet
will be displayed. After dark grand fire-works will
be exhibited on the Terrace of Kensington-gardens,
at the head of the Serpentine, with the most extensive,
flights, and the largest girandoles of rockets, rising
from amidst the trees in the gardens. A twenty feet
balloon will also ascend from the terrace in the after.'
noon, from which parachutes of various forms will be
let down. This Park also will be partially illumi-
nated with Chinese lanthorns. In short, although for
the convenience of all classes, tickets of admission are
allowed to be purchased for the inclosure of St.
James's Park, still those persons who do not feel in.
clined, or may not be able to afford the purchase of
tickets, Will, in fact, have full possession of two Parks
out of the three, and a view of the third, and will
find also that equal attei.tion has been paid to their
amusement, security, comforts and taste.
Baaan.—This day the LORD MAYOR ordered the

ANTWIUIP, JULY 14.—Lord Lynedock, his Ce.
nerals and Staff, are ordered home on the '24th inst.
The Prince of Orange assumes the government of
Brussels; but whether Piro tempore, or as a prelude to
the union of this beautiful country with Holland, no
one can tell. Thu natives are in great consternation
at the thoudits of such a measure, for they hate the
Dutch beyond all other nations. The fortifications
of Antwerp are to be demolished by us, and that im•
mediately. We shall still maintain a small army
here. The greater part of the depot, the commissa-
riat, the hospital, &c. will be broken up."
