CHARLESTON, October 19.
By the. arrival of the skip Julius Cac*a\
n Saturday evening, from Liverpool, w
ave received London papers to the 7th o’
• p'eiober ; from them we learn that tht
Jnitwl Stales schooner Revenge arrived
,t Falmouth, about the 28‘h of August
pith the dispatches for Mr. Mutiroe ; sht
iad previously stopped at Brest and land
and dispatches for the American minister
It: France—-the purport of the dispatches
eceivcd by Mr. Munroe were made
mown to Mr. Canning, the British secre
ary of state, on the 2d of September. It
s stated that the surgeon of the Ch<-sa
>eake went in the Revenge for the purpose
)f giving an ample description .of the whole
iffair between the Leopard and that ship
—one paper states, that only four days
ire allowed to the British government to
deliberate on the dispatches, and that in
:hcse dispatches, Mr. Munroe is required
loaitively to in list on the relinquishment of
he right of search of an) vessels for men,
ivhatever their condition may be, but not
o require the right of search for merchan
dise to be given up. On this subject the
..ondou Courier has the following para
graph
<l It is said that the American govern
ment, in their dispatches f*y the Revenge,
have limited our ministers to four days to
deliberation the nature of these dispatches
and to frame an answer. As there could
he no motive for such a limitation but that
ts insulting us, his majesty*# ministers
would of course, t reat such an ins nit as it
deserves, and refuse to eater into any ne
?ociatiou. But We can hardly believe that
the Americans, violent and insolent as
they are, would venture upon such pro
ceeding, unless they ars determined upon
going to war. Other accounts affirm that
the government of America, in their in
structions to Mr. Mutiroe, have desired
him positively to insist on our relinquish
merit of the right of searching any of their
vessels for men, Whatever iheir rank or
condition may be. They do not require
us to give up the right of search for mer
chandize ; but they declare they will never
pc unit any of their vessels, whether ship**
of war or merchantmen to have their men
Taken out, after they havt left their sports.
Their men 1 It is not their men wo want,
but our own. We want to,put an end to
that system of inveigling our seamen.
What! we maybe permuted to search
their ships to see whether there be eAi)*s
property or goods contraljind of war on
board j but if we End British seamen the
sinews of our strength aud prosperity, od
board them, we must not touch cor take
away. We do not even think that the late
ministers would have yielded this point.'*
The accounts in these papers, from
the fleet before Copenhagen, are to the
22dand 23d of Atrgufi. At that time
fno attack of consequence bed been
made on that city by land.—Lord
Cathead had concluded to attack it by
a regular liege and not by ttorm; the
fleet had done nothing more then than
to direhl the batteries towards the sea
to be bombarded. In London it was
iuppoGcd that the siege would not hold
out long, as it was Hated there were not
provihons in the place for more than
ten days, and that the Engfifh army
bad cut off Ibme of the pipes which
iupplied the city with water. The Da
nish accounts are of a diffeient com
plexion—they Hate that a resolute de
fence will be made. On this liibjeQ we
give the following letters received from
Brinfli officers :
The following is an extraO of a let
ter from an officer on board his majes
ty’s {hip Ruby, off Copenhagen, dated
sad August, 1807.
“ We are now lying within four miles
of the crown batteries at Copenhagen ;
they have no (hips out except one line
of battle (hip in the mouth of the har
bor, and one frigate arid three block
(hips. Our army are all landed fafe,
about 30,000 men, whole advanced
poll is about two miles from the gates;
they have got a walked battery of ten
twenty four pounders and one mortar;
which I underliaud, is to be opened this
afternoon on the enemy ; we have no
thing to do but with our boa s; the
enemy made a sortie the night before
the last on our polls with toco men,
in which we had only 1000, but we
drove them back again and killed (eve
ral ; on our ffde we have not as yet
met any lols of conhcjuence. The
army took forty waggon loads of am
munition, dell tired sot Copenhagen,
three nights btck, and ye ltd-day touk
fourteen more, u is (uppoled the bom
bardment will take place in the courie
of a few days, and it is not expefled to
hold out long.”
The following letter, dated from
Yarmouth Roads,onthe 2d, on hoard
the Swan cutler, which brought the
‘all dispatches, contain fome account of
‘he commencement of the attack on the
crowtt batteries“ I failed from Co
oenhagen on Sunday, the 23d of Au
guff, on which day a very iharp firing
commenced between our bomb
and the crown battery, ILiating batte
ries and gun boats. Our troops had a
battery erefted within reach of the town
of Copenhagen, which kept up a very
Iharp fire, until 3 o’clock P M. at
which time we were towed round Elli
neur, being becalmed. I am unable j
to fay how long it continued; but am ,
fearful our bomb (hips muff have re
ceived conlidcrabledamage, as wecould
fee the (hot llrike them in every direc.
tion , and it being quite calm, they
could not get out of reach. Some time
after the firing began, a great naan)
boats were lent in by the ships to att
againll the crown battery ; the rocke’
vefiels also were towed in ; but none
of the larger (hips a£led. Thirty thou
sand troops are landed, and are so
ranged that it is impossible for tht
Danes to receive any (applies j and i.
is underffood that they had only ten
-dayi proviffons at the time we failed.
The king of Sweden was expe&ed ai
Copenhagen in a frigate on the day 1
failed.”
Orders have been font to the Brittfh
squadron sn the Well Indies, for the
immediate captu e of Santa Cruz and
St. Thomas; all the Danilh veffcls in
England were seized, and orders were
iff vied for capturing all met with at sea
I'evcral hundred had been lent in. A' 1
embargo had been laid on all Danilh
and Portuguese vcflels in France. As
it relates to the former it was (up poled
to be done to five them from the
English.
Sir James Craig, the new cotnman.
der for.tlie Britifli colonies in America,
had failed in the Horatio frigate, with
his fuitc, on the 3d of September,
for Quebec. The liritilh government
has taken up tranfpom tocarry between
2 and 3000 tons of ammunition and
other military llore*; this quantity is
proportioned to as large a force as the
expedition to the Baltic. Ali accounts
from Russia lead the English to believe
that a war would ipeediiy take place
between these two powers. A paper
of the 3d of September lays, “ the ar
rival of the dispatches from the Baltic
this morning, gave rile to a variety oi
gloomy rumours in the tity, of our
having fußained great lols in a battle
with the Danes. There is no truth in
thole rumouts.”
LONDON, September 7.
It is laid that Dutch papers have
been received, which mention the lur.
render of Copenhagen and the Danilh
fleet cn the 23* h ult. Others assert that
that intelligence has been received by
private letters. We Hi all be happy to
lind it true —but government have not
received any luch accounts.
Government is laid to have taken up
traniports, tri cairy between 2 and 3000
tons of ammunition and other military
(lores. This quantity is proportioned
to as large a iurce as the expedition to

A London paper of September 9, vays
“ It continues to be reported, that the
British forces under general -Crawford,
had been repulsed with great loss, :n an
attack thev made upon Buenos Ayres,
early in June. This account is said to
have been received at Lisbon from the
Hraails, but no particulars given.

“ his excellency the governor has issued
his proclamation, for the admission into

rican veffVl3 with lumber, provisions, five
stock, fcc. (as formerly) until the Ist day
of July, 1803.
A letter from a well informed Ameri
can, (says the Boston Centinel,) residing
n France, dated Paris, August 8, 1.07,
say's, “You may place reliance upon the
fact, that Bonaparte will now turn his at
rention to the acquisition of ships, com
merce and colonies.”—All the dock-yards
n the empire are in great activity, parti
cularly at Antwerp, where there is an im
mense collection of ship timber. I am
told, he is determined to annul Mu. JefTc
•on’s famous Louisiana purchase, and you
may depend, that that region, and the island
of (Juba also, wdl b ceded by Spain to
France : and tha; Spain will be indemnifi
ed in Portugal.”
Wc place reliance on the authenticity
of the above information : And we think
the time not far distant when the real
American will have much more to fear
from French “ Tories,” than from British.

corn tops and blad**.
At this season of the year, a correspon
dent wishes to atlcntion sf Farm,
ers to a most valuable branch of economy
and usefulness. Corn fodder has been
found to possess most valuable qualities,
particularly the blades. They are service
able to horses, in purifying the blood and
preventing humours of the eyes, f<c. They
are a sovereign antidote against the heaves,
and are excellent as a preventative of the
yellow-water. If carefully dried and
packed they may be preserved the whole
i ear. Horses soon become more fond of
this food than they do of hay, which is not
in the fall season so wholesome for them.
The tops of corn also, are excellent for
harned cattle, and may be preserved in
sheaves.— ibid.
We stated yesterday, savs a London
paper of the 24ih August, that Sir Stephen
Sharp was appointed to a special mission
to the court of St. Petersburgh, and pre
paring for immediate departure. He was
lately our Consul General at that city, but
had returned to this couatr j, in which ht
has be t n for some time upon leave.—FL

“ The Glebe** a London paper, con
eludes some observations *n the king’s
speech in the following way
The last paragraph expresses his Majes
ty’s confidence, that his people will enable
him “ to maintain against any undue pre
tensions, and against any hostile confede
racy, those just rights which his majesty
is always desirous to exetcise with temper
and moderation, but which, as essential to
the honoi of hia crown, and true interest of
his people, he is determined never to^Sur
render.”-—A eonfcderacy of several pow
ers of Europe, and, probably, of America,
directed by France against the trade, com
merce, and navy of F.ngland, and thos<
maritime principles which have been con
sideted essential to the maiftrnahee of our
Naval superiority, is very plaiuly hinted
at in this paragraph.
HALIFAX, (N- S.) Aug. 11.
Or Tuesday last, a Court Martial was
held on board the Bellona, for th trial oi
W. Ware, D. Martin and John Strachan,
(lately taken fiom on board the American
frigate Chesapeake) charged with having
deserted. The charges were fully prov
ed ; but the Court, in consideration of
tlrcir former good conduct, and the high
character given them by their ofCccrt, as
wdl ns the contrition shown by them. fo<
their offences, did not sentence them to
death, UtA to receive *OO lashes each.
In a petition since presented to the
Commander in chief, from the abave-nam
ed deserters, for a mitigation of punish
ment, Ware states himself to have been
born niar Pipe Crrelc, Frederic County,
Maryland—Strachan, at Queen** Town,
Queen Ann’s Countv. in the same state
and Martin, in the West Indies. .. That
they had voluntarily and deliberately en
tered on board the Mclamp is—that they
lament the crime of desertion of which
thev had been guilty , ami again offer
their services on board any of his majesty.*#
ships.—They were pardoned.
NORFOLK, Oct. 9.
Yesterday the Court of Inquiry into the

DANISH ISLANDS IN BLOCKADF.
Captain Tipling of the ship William
and Mary, from Grenada, gives us the
following information. That being bound
from Grenada to St. Thomas, he was
brought to oil the harbour of the latter
island, on the 22d of last month, by a Bri
tish brig ; during the examination of the
William and Alary’s papers, a Tender ar
rived from Tortola, with information for
tha captain of the brig, who immediately
made prize es a Danish schooner then in
company, and sent her ta Tortola.
The captain of the brig warned capt. T.
not to attempt to enter St. Thomas or any
other Danish island, as they were in
blockade. Being short of provisions capt.
f'ipltng wished to go to Porto Rico, but
was informed if he did nnd was botrded
by any of the squadron, he would be made
prize of. The commander of the brig
would not indorse the ships papers, stating -
that the Danish islands were in blockade.
AH letters were broken open, and strictly
examined. The brig had “ Enterprizc of
Boston,” painted on her stern.
Important to Merchants Underwriters ,
Captain Strong of the schooner Diana
Talbot arrived yesterday from Martinique
off which island, he was boarded by the
British frigate Latona, was informed by
the commander, that British ships of war
would capture all neutral vessels, trading
from French, Spanish, or Dutch islands to
British islands.
