Latest from Europe. #<■. ** V 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 the Baltic. For Sale.

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.

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. ..

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.
