HAMBU R G % NOVEMBER 21.  The post from Copenhagen has this moment arrived ; there have been a great number of arrests in that capital, and, among others, several persons of great consequence. Their object appears to have been that of obtaining a new Constitution, and a Representative Government. Some lives have been lost, when the instigators were arrested by the Police; but as the feeling in general, throughout Copenhagen and the whole. of Denmark, is in favour of a new Constitution, no doubt is entertained but that it will ultimately be granted to the people. In Russia, also, it would seem, that the people art by no means satisfied with the existing state of things. The letters from Petersburgh, most probably from motives of prudence, ate written iit'a guarded man., ner, and say but little as to the hill state of things. The latest advices are received by a vessel arrived at Yarmouth, from Petersburgh, after a passage of only fifteen days. The following is an extract from one of them :  " ST. PETIRSBURGII, Nov. 10.—Yon will hear by the time this reaches you, of a great event which has happened in Russia, which I have no doubt will be much exaggerated on your side of the water; but we entertain no fears as to the result here." We are now inclined to think that the account received from the Sound, of a portion of the Russian army having laid down their arms in consequence of the severity of the discipline imposed, may have some foundation in truth, as it is not unlikely that the great event alluded to in the above extract refers to the mutinous spirit of the military.  The following letters relate to the same events, but as some of the particulars are differently related, they may assist our Readers in forming an opinion for themselves respecting the .complexion of the• pulllic mind in the North of Europe :  " COPENHAGEN, NOVEMBER is.  " A formidable plot, projected with the view of plunging us into the abyss of revolution, has been happily frustrated, on the eve of its execution, by the vigilance of our Police, who, the day before yesterday, suddenly arrested all the parties concerned in it. Their leader is a Dr. Dampe, a man of intellect and knowledge, but well known for his revolutionar, principles, who has succeeded in organizing a Secret Association, composed, for the most part, of athletic• and vigorous handicraftsmen, and imbued them with his own seditious notions. They had formed a plan of a most horrible nature, being nothing less than to force open the prisons ; to seize, by the aid of the convicts, on all the arsenals and magazines of warlike stores ; to murder all the High Officers of State, not excepting even the King himself; and, finally, to proclaim a Representative Constitution. M. Kierneff, Councillor of State, and our Director of Police, has for some time been iu possession of the secret views of the conspirators, but postponed their arrest till the day before yesterday, last night having been fixed on for the execution of their plan; and thus been•able not only to secure all the accomplices, but the 11 draught of their intended method of proceeding and all other papers. Among them were found, ready prepared, a variety of incendiary Proclamations." 44
