IXTRACT OF A LEITIA FROM COPENHAGEN, DATED

JUNE 13.

The Szrediih Gazette contains a proposition from
his Km:sty to the States of the Kingdom, in which
the KING reminds them, that. by, the advice of the
States he had allowed the liberty of the press, in the
hope that salutary effects would, have resulted from
it, but that authors bad been guilty of enormous ex-
cesses which it %CIS necessary to repress.—(ibegie

Jamaica Papers have arrived to the 17th May.
[mom THE ROYAL GAZETTE OT THE 16T11.]
A dispatch from the Commandant of St. Jago de
Cuba, addressed to Vice-Admiral STIRLING, was re-
ceived in this city yesterday, stating, we under-
stand, that three ]French privateers had been cruising
off that port, alined captured some vessels bound
to Old Spain, and carried them into the Mona Pas-
sage, where they were ransomed; and soliciting that
a British vessel of war might be allowed to cruise off
St. Jago for the protection of the trade in that quar-
ter.

We learn by the Brazen) that Cnatstorut, with
his army, was still laying siege to Port-au-Prince,
and that he was determined to persevere, with the
hope of reducing that place. Two of his regiments,
the 9th and 14th, had deserted to Parton.

pers:
" Yesterday morning his MAJEiTY became most
alarmingly ill : for a considerable time he was speech-
less. Expresses were sent for the Paige': Iteexer,
and also for Sir [lmre Ilitroan, and the other
Physicians not in attendance. ilk Royal Highness,
immediately on the arrival of the Messenger, set off
for Windsor. Iu the afternoon advice was received
that the moredangerous symptoms of his MAJErrv's
illness had abated."
" An Express arrived at Carlton House, soon af-
ter four o'clock yesterday
.afternoon, with advice,
that his MAJESTY had that morning, soon after his
rising, been seized with a violent paroxysm, that be
became speechless, and continued so when the Mes-
senger left Windsor. The PRINCE REGENT ifIIIIIC(11-
ately threw himself into his travelling chaise, and
drove down to Windsor, from whence he did not re-
turn till a late hour last night. We had the satisfac-
tion, however, to learn, just as our Paper was put-
ting to press, that his MAJESTY hind recovered his
speech, and though his fever was not much abated,
he was declared by his Physicians to be out of imme-
, diate danger."
" It is with unfeigned regret we state, that his
MAJEsTY was yesterday morning seized with another
most &lent paroxysm, which excited the utmost
alarm foc his safety; but we have the consolation to
bear, that, at a late hour last night, no fatal result
had taken place. The alarming state of the Royal

THE DOCUMENTS.

A part of the documents accompanying the Pam.
out's late Message was received this morning, in the
National lots!neater. We have copied them into
this Erening's Post, and we hope they will be pe-
rused with attention. We have not time nor room
for much comment this day; but we cannot help di-
reefing the attention of the reader to the letter of
Mr. BARLOW, of March 16, where be says :
" The EatrEttoa did not like the Bill we have seen
before Congress for admitting English goods con-
tracted for beforetheNon-iinportation Law went into
o7rration. And I gave such decided explanations,
as I thought at the time would remove all uneasiness.
But I have since heard that the EMPEROIL is not well
wtibfied."

CONGRESS.
Very little business of a national character was
transacted in the House of Representatives on Wed-
nesday last. An engrossed Bill to extend the time'
for drawbacks was read a third time and passed.
The lions* was in committee.of the whole on a Bill
from the Senatcs relative to arming merchant vessels
fur defence; the Committee rose, reported progress,
mid had leave to sit again. •
['SON THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, MAY 28.]
Chief Justice MARSHALL decided, a few days ago in
the Suprema Court of North Carolina, that the Pro-
clamation of the PRESIDENT of the United States of
the 9th of August, 1809, (after the disavowal of
Eassuces arrangement) interdicting commerce with
Great Britain, was not legal. An appeal was of
course taken to the Supreme Court.

MOST GALLANT AFFAIR.

.

A Heligoland Mail has brought advises to the date
of the 2d instant. The shipments of the produce
whrehoused On the Island are continued, both for
the Baltic and Mediterranean ; so that it will soon
be reduced to its former destitute condition, and be
the resort only of pilots and fishermen.
Letters of the 18th ult were received yesterday
' from Lisbon, which state, that Lord WELLINGTON
was close to Salamanca; and that part of General
&Alm's brigade of cavalry, consisting of about SO
men, being considerably iu advance, had been cut off
rby the enemy.
The Report of the Secret Committee of the House
of Commons, upon the Papers referred to it, in pur.
mince of the Patxce REGENT', Message, is expect.
ed to be made this clay.
The Repeal of the Orders in Council has given a
most salutary, and we trust•a durable impulse, to the
manufactures al this district. Since this revocation
was ascertained, Cloth has been bought up with great
avidity. The countenances of the manufacturers, and
of the numerous class of mechanics dependent on
the clothing business, have begun to brighten, and a
visible improvemeut is already observable in their ap-
pearance. Numberi who have been long out of employ-
ment, or who bad only work at short and uncertain pe..
nods, are now fully employed. But perhaps the best
proof we can give of the beneficial effects of the repeal of
these anti-commercial edicts is to state the non-arrival
of our usual Huddersfield letter, a circumstance
which arises, we believe, from there being no out-
rages or disturbances in that neighbourhood to de-
tail. And hi this immediate neighbourhood there
has not been the slightest tendency to any species of
outrage or insubordination.—(Leeds Mercury.)

The repeal of the Orders in Council, and the pros-
pect of an amicable arrangement with America,
caused a contAal scene of rejoicing amongst the
Stocking-malters, at Loughborough, during the lat-
ter part of last week, particularly Saturday. They
took oat of their frames what is called the main
springs, and paraded the town, playing with them in
imitation of bells ringing, which produced a very
novel effect, especially as the church bells were merrily
going at the same time. The bounty of the Hosiers
enabled them to roast a sheep, and to regale them-
selves on Saturday night, and with pleasure we find
that every thing was conducted in the most peace-
able and orderly manner. Nor were their wives less
backward in testifying their gladness on the occasion,
for they made collections in the different streets,
formed parties,
.and enjoyed themselves with their
favourite beverage, tea, and with other amusements
peculiar to the female taste.
Sticretet.n, JULY 4.—At tt late hour last night
we received highly important and very gratifying in-
telligence to every friend of peace and good order.—
It states, that two Bow-street Officers have been in
the neighbourhood of Huddersfield for nearly three
weeks past, and that they had been twisted in, or in ,
other words, had taken the oath of the Luddites.—
By this means they have learned the proceedings
and ways of these infatuated persons, and have ob-
tained the knowledge of the depot w here their arms
were concealed. Warrants were yesterday (Friday)
issued for the apprehension of IQ of the ringleaders,
and in the course of the day a great number of them
were taken into custody. The actual murderer of
Mr. llorsfall was discovered in a house about eight
miles from Huddersfield, and is committed to Lan-
caster Castle to be tried for the said barbarous deed.
He was seized yesterday morning, about two o'clock,
within the county of the Mut:aster. The Queen's
Bays were on duty during the whole of .Thursday
night and yesterday morning; and the Scotch Greys
have arrived from Manchester to assist in this busi-

On Monday afternoon, a dreadful accident occur-
red near the Trent Bridge, which has proved the
death of a labouring man of this place, of the name
of Joseph Swindell. lie was employed in turning a
windlass for the purpose of loading a boat at the
Trent with gravel, the weight of which overpowered
him, and the handle of the windlass reverting with
great velocity, struck him with such violence, as li-
terally dashe.d his head to pieces. Ile was removed
to the General Hospital, where he expired on Wed-
nesday morning.
A certain Minister in Birming,ham, in his discourse
a few nights ago, from the pulpit, made the follow-
ing pathetic observation to his audience : Solomon,
my• brethren, was a very wise tuan—he tells us, you
know, that riches have wings and fly away.—By
riches he meant Gold and Silver, and indeed his as-
sertion is verified in this our day, for I have not seep
a Guinea; I don't know the day when."
Mr. Fisiien and his theatrical corps sailed from
Penzance for Lisbon, la,t week. They called at the
Scilly Islands for the foraging party which had been
there for some time. This detachment has had con-
siderable success, being constantly favoured with
full houses; the only cause of complaint they found,
was their inability to find a room sufficiently capaci-
ous to accommodate the wondering islanders, who
flocked in crowds to witness the magical ettects of
the Thespian art. In fact, tho applause bestowed
on a Garrick or a Siddons, by the fashionable crowds
at Da•ury-lane and Covent-garden, was not /more
enthusiastic or general than that which Mr. Fisher's
band received iu the Scilly Isles ;—nor was the re-
gret of the Loudon audience, at the secession of
these celebrated performers, more sincere than that
evidenced by these simple islanders at the departure
of their amusing visitants.
To-morrow a general rehearsal will take place at
the King's Theatre, of the Opera Madame •C ITA-
I LAmt intends Orin; for her benefit, in which she
will positively not perform again this season.
