LATEST FROM EUROPE.
Boston, November 2.
Postscript to the Independent Chronicle.
Yesterday, after our paper had gone to press
the ship Aristides arrived here from Liverpool,
bringing papers of that city to the 16th Septem
ber, and London to the I Lh. TheiK contents
are of the highest importance, as will be seen
by the subsequent extracts, which ate all we ,
Could prepare in season for this day’s paper. |
Copenhagen had not surrendered on the 4th of
September, not did it appear that i. would soon
do so. Our differences with England were
discussing by authorized agents, and some of ‘
the papers anticipated an amicable issue.
EVACUATION OF SOUTH AMERICA.
London, September 12.
The Saracen sloop'of 18 guns, arrived yes- (
ferday at Portsmouth, with dispatches from ‘
lieutenant general Whitelocke, dated the 10th i
of July, containing the ungrateful intelligence, I
that the British forces under his command had ,
made an attack upon Buenos Ayres, but had !
experienced so much resistance from the nu- j
merons forces of the enemy, that, after having |
gained possession of part of the town, it was j
thought prudent to enter into a capitulation, ;
by which it has been agreed to evacuate ‘
not only the par t of Buenos Ayres, of which ‘
had gained possession, but Monte- ;
video, Moldavia, in fine, the whole of South A
merica, within the short space of two months.
The following Bulletin was sent from the ad
miralty to the lord Mayor, and, by his order,
posted on the mansion house, and communicat
ed to Lloyd’s :
“ Do'ionhtg-Strect, September 12, 1807,
“ LordCastlereagh has the honor of acquain
ting the lord mayor, that dispatches have been
received this morning, from lieutenant general
Whitelocke, dated July 10, by which it appears
that in an attack upon the town of Buenos Ay
res, his majesty’s troops experienced so much
resistance from the tumultuous force of the
enemy, that after gaining possession of part of
the town, with severe loss, on the sth of July,
the lieutenant general thought it prudent to
enter into a negociation with general Liniers,
who commanded the enemy’s forces, by which
he agreed to evacuate South-Anierica within
two months, upon condition that all prisoners
taken in the attack, as well as those captured at
the surrender of Buenos Ayres, should be re
stored. The total loss, amounts in killed 316,
wounded 674. missing 208.
“ To the right lion. Lord Mayor.”
It thus appears that our loss, in killed, wound
ed and missing, amounts to 1200 men. The
remainder, according to the terms of the ca
pitulation, are now upon their way home.
COPENHAGEN.
A Gotlenburgh mail arrived yesterday with
intelligence to the 31st. Letters of that date
say, that a couriet had arrived there who left
Copenhagen on the evening of Saturday the
20th, at which time, in consequence of the
bombardment by our sea or land forces, the
tcffvn was on tire in different places ; and it w r as
said the arsenal was on fire. This is three days
later than the dispatches, and then the town was
not taken. Thus we find that our troops have
been landed a fortnight and nothing effected.
Indeed, alter the Danes have bad so much time
to prepare, and they have been allowed to re
cover from their first apprehensions, and to cal
culate their means of defence, the success of
the attempt upon Copennagen appears ques
tionable. The delay of the attack by the land
may be supposed to be justified by the expec
tation of the certain success of the slow mode
of operation ; hut the delay in attacking the na
vaj, line of defence renders the victory much
more doubtful than it would have been ; and it
seems to be thought now, that the place must
be taken by land, and that our fleet could, from
the preparations made by the Danes, make lit
tle impression, -where they were formerly vic
torious under Nelson.
Dispatches have arrived from admiral Gam
bler, but they are not of as satisfactory a nature
as was expected They are dated the 2uth. and
were brought hv the Ernest gun-brig, which |
sailed on the 27th. The account given out by
the messenger is, that up to that time nothing
of consequence had taken place. The letters
from the fleet represent the siege of Copenha
gen as likely to continue three weeks.
Indeed some private letters have been re
ceived, which lead us to conclude, thai the ac
counts received by ministers are unfavorable.
It is stated in them, that an unsuccessful attack
4vas made upon the 23d, and that a good many
men were killed on board our ships. It is stat
ed also, that the Danes had driven our troopr
from a redoubt near the town where a battery
had been erected, and that they were twice re
pulsed in attempting to retake it. They have i
burnt part of the suburbs to facilitate their de
fence, and seem determined to hold out to the
last extremity.
There were reports in the city yesterday, of
admiral Gambier, being killed, and sir Home \
Topham, having lost a leg, and our fleet having,
on the whole suffered considerably. These
were certainly unfounded, though it was said
that several officers have fallen, which indeed
seems to be corroborated by the rumours
brought by the Gottenburgh mail.
Russia and Sweden. —lt is stated in a let
ter from Stockholm of the 27th oE-Uigust, that
the Russian ambassador had delivered a note to
the Swedish government, in which it was de
clared, that if assistance were rendered to the
British fleet, or any part of it admi'ted into the
ports of Sweden, it could he considered as a
/declaration of war, and that the emperor of
/G;ia would iparch an at my into Swet’ A.
Sav.nnah,
THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1807.
In the house of representatives of the legis
lature of Vermont, op the 9th ult. Mr. Bradley
introduced the following resolution, which was
referred to Messrs. Bradley, Chase and T.
Hutchinson:
“ Resolved , That the senators in congress
from this state, be instructed, and the repre
sentatives therefrom requested, to use their
exertions to procure an amendment of the con
stitution of the United States, in such a manner
as will empower the President of the United
States to remove any of the judges of the su
preme court of the United States, upon address
to him made for that purpose by a majority of
the house of representatives, and two-thuds of
the senate, in congress assembled.”
Dispatches are said to have been received
from our minister at London of as late a date as
the 3d of September. The recal of admiral
Berkley is slated as certain.
The best informed circles of the city of
Washington, men who undoubtedly derive
their impressions from executive information,
are of opinion that the present discussions with
Great Britain will terminate amicably. As
soon as the Revenge shall have returned, the
President means to communicate to congress
all the documents, (forming a voluminous mass)
on the subject— Thila Guz.
From the Boston Gazette of A'ov. 2.
Sunday, 1 o’clock. The Aristides, captain
Williams has this moment arrived from Li\e: -
pool, in 44 days. Her latest London dates,
which are to the 14th September, announce the
following intelligence:—
“ The points in controversy, between the
United States and Great Britain, had been dis
cussed, by the respective ministers ; and that
such an amicable them had tak
en place, as to warrant a notice, from both par
ties, “ that Peace and Friendship might be con
sidered as being again restored between the
two countries ”
The Revenge cutter was expected to leave
England, with dispatches, about the 20th of j
September. j
Last evening, certain efligics, said to repre- I
sent Burr and Blannerhasset, Martin and Mar- ■
shal, after being paraded through the principal
streets of this city, were hung, and afterwards
burnt, amidst the acclamations of a great multi
tude of people.
We are pleased to state, there was no use
for the two troops of horse, or even the civil
officers, who were assembled to preserve order.
No violence was offered to the person and pro
perty of any.— Balt. Evening Tost.
The loss of the sufferers by the last fire in
Portsmouth, has been estimated at £>s4 000.
