LATEST FROM EUROPE.
CHARLESTONS, October 13.
The anival of the ship Arctic, tins morning,
front Bordeaux, has furnished us with regular
tiles ol Paris papers to the 29th August. In
tercstiiig extracts from these will be found in
our preceding columns.
We have seen several letters from Bordeaux,
to the 4th September, which contain a variety
of reports, from these we exuact the iollow
itig:
“ Accounts are said to he received this
morning Loin “Paris, that the British govern
ment has issued orders for capturing all vessels
having on board French mamifacUues, or the
produce <lf France or her colonics—these orders
o be cai 1 ied into effect in 30 days from the date
.hereof.” IVe think this re/tort entitled to little
credit.’’
“ Upwards of eighty Danish, and a number
of Portuguese vessels are now embargoed in
tlii-; pent.”
“ Troops are daily marching through this
place, on their wav to Portugal, which the
French already look upon as a conquered
country.”
*‘ b >s this day reported, that the English
troops have obtained possession of Fhineur—
I lie emperor has issued orders for the march
of 50 0(H) French troops to assist the Danes.”
“ I have lit 1 le to add, only that war is declar
ed by the Russians against England.”
DANISH AFFAIRS.
Kf.il, August 13.
Mr. Jarkson. being sent to the prince royal
as a negociutot for England, brought to Keil
the demands of that power. Without announc
ing any reason, England required an offensive
and defensive alliance. Asa guarantee of this
alliance, she demanded that the Danish fleet,
the fortress ol Cronenburg, and the city of
Copenhagen, should be delivered up to her.
The piinrc royal 1 ejected such propositions
with all the indignation they deserved. lie
said to M r Jackson, that history did not afford
a single example of an attack so odious, as that
with which Denmark was menaced, and that
more loyalty might lie expected from the Dur
bary pirates, than fioni the English govern
ment. “ You propose your alliance,” added
the prince. “ \h ! do we not know what
your alliance is ! Your allies, by waiting in vain,
during a whole year, for your succours, have
taught us the value of it 1” Mr. Jackson having
observed that the prince spuke to him in very
harsh terms his royal highness answered, that
when a man h.d resolution enough to under
take such a mission, he ought also to have the
courage to bear with every thing said ; that be
sides, what he answered the minister, he would
as freely say to the king of England, were he
pt -sent. It was alter this audience, that the
prince royal set off for Copenhagen. lie was
received theie with general enthusiasm. Af
ter having put every thing in order, he judged
proper to cross over again to the continent, in
trusting general Fryman with the civil and nti
lit ay power for the defence cf the capital. In
crossing the Belt, the vessel which carried the
prince royal, was on the point of being stopped
by the English.
Flic next day, the public of the capital learnt
the departure of the prince royal, by an official
proclamation, published by beat of drum in all
tile streets. Flic same day the English’ lega
tion quitted the city, and the diplomatic body
a'so set off.
On th 13 h August, Mr. Jackson declared
that hostilities were going to commence. From
that moment the whole city was up in arms,
and preparations were made for a vigorous de
fence.
Ihe garrison of Copenhagen amounts to
eight thousand regular troops. The army is,
unfortunately, on the continent, which proceeds
from that latal inclination of the powers of the
continent to entertain no jealousy but against
France, and to be under no apprehension of the
machinations of England. But government
will find resource in the immense population
ol the city, and in the energetic sentiments with
which all the citizens are animated. Tire re is
not a single inhabitant but has in his mouth the
answer given by his royal highness to the En
glish agent, when the latter told him that En
gland would compensate with money all the
losses that Dcunuuk might sustain—“ And
with what, answered the prince, will you com
pensate the loss of our honor!”
In collecting the noble speeches made use
ol by the prince royal, upon this important oc
casion, this phrase has not been I'orgoMen:
“ If. by the treason of the English, the capital
should, however, happen to be taken I shall be
able to do this winter what Gustavua formerly
did ; and the ice of the Belt will afford me a
secure passage.”
August 21.
The militia of Zealand is 19 battalions strong:
some of them have been marched into Copen
hagen and Cronenburg. Thirteen remain to
protect the Island ; they will be joined to the
cavalry and other bodies that are there. Every
where corps of volunteers are forming; in a
very little while, there will be 50 000 men in
arms in Denmark and the Dutchies. Every
> >.iy is animated with the most exalted entlui
siasm and courage, as well as with the deepest
hatred of the English.
Lieutenant-general Pcvman, governor of Co
-enhagen, has burnt the houses in the suburbs.
• hich favored the approaches of the enemy,
nd inte 1 set ed with the operations of the de
nce cf the place. We reckon the damage at
veral millions of rix dollars. These suburbs
vere large and perfectly built, but the inhabit
ants of Copenhagen arc animated to such a de
gree, that it is asserted that the poor inhabit
ants of the suburbs vv ere those most furious in
the destruction ol their own houses.
The English have effected their debarkation.
The city is invested by sea and land. The Eng
; lisli general, Cathcart, has established his head
‘ quarters at the castle of Fredericksberg, and
already hostilities have commented. The flag
> of truce which the English sent, was not te
i ccived, and was chased away with indignation.
• “ You are not enemies,-” said general Peyman
to them, “ you are brigands ; without a decla
ration of war, without motives, you come to at
tack us : you may kill us if’ you are stronger
than we are, but life would be odious to us, if
we held it from you ”
On the 18th, the Danes made a sortie ; the
English were repulsed, and had 15 killed. Two
English vessels of the embarkation have been
taken by the Danish gun-boats. A slight en
gagement has taken place at sea, between the
Danish and English vessels. The English have
thrown in some bombs, which have done no da
mage. We have succeeded in organizing in
the interior of the Island, a corps of 10,000
men, of which 4000 are troops of ihe line, and
the rest of landwtm , or cultivators, formerly
soldiers which at e used to be exercised annual
ly. This corps is under the command of gener
al Cartenschiop.
PROCLAMATION.
Comrades—Aftet having put every thing in
order, as far as circumstances and time would
permit, I fly to the army in order to employ it
as speedily as possible for the safety of my dear
countrymen, if events do not soon happen
which, agreeably to my wishes, may settle eve
ry thing in an honorable and pacific manner.

By n supreme order of his royal highness

Os all the scenes of oppression and tyranny,
which the English at this day are exhibiting to
the world, none has a more odious character
than their aggression against Denmark. Thev
attack the capital of a king, their friend, their
ally, who has had no discussion with them,
without declaring war against him ; and what
is more, a king who is partial to them ; for,
throughout the last year, they have had no
communication with the continent, but through
his states. But blessed be Providence, that
this horrible government is without troops, and
without generals,
SWEDISH Al-FAIRS.
Paris, August 25,
The aid-de-camp of the prince ol Neufchatel,
M.Delagrange, left Stralsund on the 21st of
August. The king of Sweden, after having
declared that he would bury himself under the
ruins of Stialsnnd, took to flight and left the city
without a capitulation. The French troops
entered it and possessed themselves ol it. Mar
shal Bruno took pity on the inhabitants, and the
city hail been taken without capitulating; he
directed that it should be treated with the great
est regard.
The character of the king of Sweden has
made itself Imown. particularly during the siege
—every day he made new propositions, one
more ridiculous than the other. As we could
no longer depend upon his word, we would en
ter into no conferences with him. He then
determined to embark himself and troops, and
take to flight, leaving the city to the mercy of
the conqueror. He proved by this that he was
as bad a genera) as a prince. It is perhaps the
first time that a king has tints abandoned his sub
jects. The continent is now disembarrased cf
him forever. The king of Sweden will not
enter again into Pomerania. We found in the
place 400 cannon.
Denmark will soon be in want of men and
money, to support the struggle ; but if the Da
nish people second their ptince, and resist this
horrible oppression, the emperor of the French
will not let Demark be in want of either money
or men. The history of nations affords no ex
ample of such an atrocity. Sovereigns and na
tions of Europe, if England, like France, had B
or 900,000 men under arms, what would hap
pen to you ?
REPORT OF MARSHAL BRUNE TO THE MINIS
TER OF WAR.
Head-Quarters , Stralsund , August 20.
We entered this evening into Stralsund, alter
five days of open, trenches. In this short space
of time the works were pushed with such vig
or, that I promised myself to take the place in
a few days. There was a perfect harmony
existed in the army. The king of Sweden see
ing die progress of our works, the inutility of
his lire against our workmen and oui nume
rous batteries, ready to thunder on the place,
judged it convenient for himself and his troops
to embark ; he is gone lo the island of Kugen,
leaving at Stralsund, as commandant, one ol his
aids-de-camp, Mr. Peyton, who came this day,
with two ol the principal magistrates, to propose
a capitulation. I thought it due to myself to
refuse such a request; but at the same time
made the minds of the frightened man is . tes
eusv respecting t’ e abandonment to whicr their
ridiculous sovereign had given them no. f
caused three companies of grenadieis to be
placed at eaclt gate. I entered the place. I
have named general There venot to command it.
‘Phe fright of the inhabitants was extreme , but
I pronounced the name ot the emperor, „nd,
sure of the good sense of the Soldiers, a calm
suddenly succeeded to terror. They have in
formed us that the king was frightened at ‘he
dangers he seen in the affair of lie 6,h, when
we drove his otit-posts into the place, ant. at the
opening of the trenches on the 15 h. He
brought forward some cannon and thcr spiked,
up a great number of them. YV e have found
great disorder amongst their transpot ts. 1 will
render to your excellency a particiuai account
of this event, as dishonorable to the king ol Swe
den, as a general, as a sovereign ; but 1 ought
not to defer the expression of the live y satis
faction which I experience from the perfect
conduct of the French troops, and the allies
of which his majesty confided the command to
n| 2- > Brune.
I believe I have forgot to mention to your
excellency, in my preceding dispatch that ;ke
king of Sweden sent, four days ago, an aid-tit -
camp to reiterate the most ridiculous proposi
tion, vve are to be pitied for having 10 do with
such a sovereign; but the people of Sweden
much more so. Officers, soldiers, citizens, all
sigh at the wrong-headedness of theii prince; all
love the French and admire the emperor. ‘1 ne
king ofSweden is the only oneofhis pa, ty in the
kingdom ; however we may join to him a dozen
or filteen miserable wretches, such as Fersen
and Armfeldt.
Hamburgh, August 8.
There is a talk of another odd fancy that Eas
taken the king of Sweden. It is rumouied
that he has sold Pomerania and the island of
Rugen to the English, for seventeen millions
and a halt of marks banco. Thus this valiant
prince had rather sell his troops than defend
them.
Genoa, August 12.
On the 9th of this month, a pink put into this
port from 1 unis. Captain Travel so to whom
she belongs, relates, that on the 29th ot July,
there were public rejoicings at Funis, in order
to celebrate the taking of Constantine by the
1 unisi.ms, from the Algerines. It was asserted
thei e, that the Bey of Constantine himself was
among the number of prisoners.
A great engagement had taken place be
tween the Algerines and the Tunisians in which
the latter gained and complete victory. Besides a
considerable number of killed and wounded,
they made 7000 prisoners, and took seven pieces
of cannon. After this engagement, the Saptapa
surrounded the whole Algerine army and cap
tured all its arms, baggage, cannon, powder,
stores, and 12,000 camels loaded with provi
sions.
Died, at Paris, on the 25th of August last,

illness*
