We have now got the French ambassador,’ general Savary and suite, and lord Gower. On the sth of August there is to be a grand mas querade at the palace of PeierhofF, in celebra tion of the peace. Every thing is to be in the first style of magnificence. The general opin ion on’Change is, that the empororismuchdis pleased with the late conduct of the English government, and at present we know he is ve ry unfriendly to the English here. How mat ters will end, God only knows. His imperial majesty has just been down at Cronstadt, in speeting the fortifications, which have been put in the strongest possible state of defence. Enisnt'itcii, September 0. The following is dated Copenhagen Iloads, August 20, 1807 : “ An opportunity offering to send letters to England, I cannot omit acquainting you how we are going on here, as I suppose you are ail anxious to hear the result of the expedition, which’ lias for some time past occasioned . so many conjectures; we ar.ived here with! our fleet on the 16th inst. and the next morn- ’ ing landed the army, consisting of about 15.000 men, about six miles from Copenhagen, v.Ab out opposition, the Danish army having retired into the town. They are supposed to consist of 7 6r 8000 regulars, and'about 12 000 miliiia,; —but there are various reports on the subject, and in short on many other circumstances con j reeled with it. I believe it is very certain, that j they are determined to resist us to the utmost ■ cl their power ; and as the town is said to be strongly fortified, if they continue in the same ‘ mind, it is probable, our object will be attended with some difficulty, and it vii! take a length of time to reduce Copenhagen From the sea, it has all the appearance of great rtrength, par ticularly the crown batteries, which are situated upon small islands, about three-fourths of a mile from the town, and appear to be erected for the purpose of defending the entrance of the har- ! hour, where the men of war are laid up, which are plainly to be seen from the ship, with only their low er masts in. There are also several large hvuks anchored at different parts round the town, and the whole shore seems, from the firing we frequently see. covered with small ba'tenes, fitted up with very heavy artillery, as are likewise the hulks. “ We are busily employed in getting on shore horses, artillery and other stores. We observed a heavy fir . g early this morning bn shore, and a report has just renehed us. that the Danes made a sortie with 1000 men. but were drawn back into the town with considerable loss, and with little on our’s.” Parisian fete. • Paris, August 25. It is difficult, without having been witness of it, t ’ form an idea of the magnificence ot the fete of which all Paris was the theatre. The march of troops, in resorting to the church of Notre Dame, along the streets and public places, decorated with alt that taste and elegance could unite, the innumerable crowd of spectators, i heir unanimous acclamations the splendor of their dresses, the pomp of their equipage, and the number and beauty of the troops; all these circumstances united offered the spectacle of the most beautiful triumph ot which modern Europe cun boast. Not being able to enter into all the details of this memo rable fete, we shall content ourselves with marking the principal circun • .ances. The most remarkable perhaps, is the change in the wea ther. The evening before, there had been a heavy fall of rain, and, in the morning cf that very day, tlie sky covered with thick clouds, confirmed the menaces of the barometer, which indicated wet weather. All these disagreeables vanished, nor was the fete of the hero troubled bv any auk ward circumstance. .Never, perhaps- was the public joy manifest ed in F ranee in a manner more general or more ingenuous. Ai every step, emblems and in scriptions expressed, in a manner the most hap py, the sentiments ot love and admiration with which all France is penetrated for the great man who honors and governs it. Only to cite one example, a merchant of the street of St. Konore had painted the e iperor standing upon the globe ; he touched the earth with the point ot his sword, from whence an olive-tree was springing up. whose branches shaded the blade. This allegory, as simple as ingenious, was ex pressed in the Mowing words— ■■ Au Pac'fea ture du Monde” The games which were executed on the wa ter. between the bridge of the Thtiilleries and that of the Concorde, offered a spectacle truly enchanting. The little squadron of vessels for • the fight, advanced to the sound of music and tr impets ! Innumerable spectators, distrilrjtcd on th ’ quays and floating baths, and on the vessels belonging to the swimming school, min gled their loud acclamations with those of the conquerors. After the fight, it was expected that Fo’ ioso would exhiljit himself walking on a Ij-jic, the space wiuoli separates the two bridges; hut an obstacle opposed that cy . erimeut. upon the possibility of which the mathematicians doubtless had not been con suited. The artificial fire-work executed on the bridge of Concorde, terminated this superb fete in a manner the most brilliant. The crowd then visited the illuminations; those of the Thuille rics, of the Luxembourg, of the palace of Ju.- licc, of the hotel of the minister of police suc cessively attracted the attention of the curious ; but it was to the illuminations of the palais roy al that the genera! preference was given. wuHiei v>. ’ - vuv.?'—Mi-1 net |1 ■ r , r ri u v itumj Savannah, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 22, ISO 7. In this evening’s paper we have given the proclamation of the commanders of the British expedition against Denmark. An article- re plete with ail the characteristic speciousness of the British cabinet, adding another to the long list of subterfuges Britain has resorted to in justification of her conduct towards neutral nations, since the year 1791. The incon sistencies 6f the proclamation are too glaring to be overlooked. Whilst the Danes are ex pressing their determination to remain neutral. Britain declares them incapable, and deprives i them of the mean** of maintaining their neutra lity, by demanding the giving up of their fleet, lest it might be turned against her by France. France, however, has discovered no such dispo sition. This is the pretended, but her desire to weaken the armed neutrality, about forming j in the north cf Europe, is the real object she | has in view. Such a coalition will humble her I pride, and put a period to her career of iiiari j time despotism. Like other instruments from | the same quarter, the proclamation professes ; fiiendsiijp whilst the i’.vord is uplifted, and j menaces and affects conciliation in the same j breath. Denmark will not yield her navy- S without a struggle, and the Biitisli v. ill, no i dqubt, meet with as warm a reception at Co s penhagen as they did at Constantinople, FLECTIONS. | On Tuesday last, the following gentlemen 1 were elected county officers for the two ensu ing > ears;— • Sheriff.—John Erpingf.r.

He explicitly declares to the court of Den mark, that it is impossible any longer to distin guish between a neutral and an enetuit. T hat the ordinary covenants (that is, treaties and the law of nations) of amt neutral nation are hot to stand in the way of British policy or in . terests. [ Arc you prepared, citizens of free and indc j pendent America,to surrender your neutrality? j No neutral nation is sufficiently secure in its independence, they say, but under the protec tion of Britain—and are you now ready to he pro tected by Britain, as Austria, Prussia, Russj.-, Holland, Sardinia, Naples, Turkey, Italy, Han over, Bavaria, have been ? From such protec tion—people of America, may Heaven pre serve you—but the time is coining, when, plac ing confidence in that courage which establish ed your independence—the same courage, the same wisdq*;, the same constancy, will be called for to preserve it —union and confidence, the ral lying word.— Aurora. Many of the enraged opponents of the admi nistration condemned the president for the re mote day at which he called congress. Events, however, have shewn that had he convened them sooner they would have been unable to proceed on the important business which occa sioned their extraordinary assemblage. But three weeks* will elapse before the day of their meeting; and, from present appearances, it is scarcely possible, and not in the least probable, that official information will be received from England at a much earlier period. The-Re venge h 1 not ar: Ived on the 26 h of August ; allowing but a short time for the necessary ex planations between our ministers and those of England, we mav expert this information about the 25th of October. It is also not im probable that the sane vessel that brings it will likewise bring us the f.ite of die treaty. At all events, the views of the British ministry will he soon clearly disclose;!, and we shall then dis tinctly see whether they will honestly practise what they prose-s ; or whether their recent de monstrations of amity are but the cover to new ! outrages.— •Xaiionul InteUgcnccr.

An derson to /.is excellency the governor, dated ITckensvili.e, Sept. 22, 1807. “ I arn nov ’ here to review the last regiment l of my brigade to raise the quota of officei;. and ; men required from this brigade to be held in readiness to turn out on service. No chaft would be permitted by die citizen soldiers in any oi the regiments, and instead of the num ber required, I could have had four times that i nun her, all as volunteers, who were willing to j hold themselves in readiness to march, where- 1 ver they might he %ulcrcd, to resent the late insult on our uatioTWi flag, and the flagrant vio- , Elion ol our neutral rights.

At ! the beat of drum the volunteers were to march ; out and to join the officers appointed to com* ‘ maid them. 1 lie whole line marched. A halt was called, and iny brigade-major is now employed in making out a muster 101 l of the number wanted, aid inspecting their arms.
