BOSTON, Nov. 6.
By the arrival of the brig Fairfield,
captain Foster, in the very short pas
sage of 37 days from Copenhagen, we
have been favored by the politeness and
attention of captain F. with Hamburgh
and Copenhagen papers to the 27th
September.
The following translations, obligingly
furnished by Mr. Hauff, Swedish con
sul in this place, shew, that their con
tents are
HIGHLY INTERESTING,
Copenhagen, Sept. 25.... They write
from Konishberg, that troops are em
barking in several Russian ports, to be
transported to Pomerania.
The combined Dutch-French army,
in Holland, is said to amouut to 70,000
men.
Several camps are formed on the
frontiers of Russia.
The Prussian troops are moving to
wards the Grand Army now forming in
Saxony.
It is said that the French Minister at
Berlin has demanded his passport.
The Prussian troops in every direc
tion are in motion. Nothing is said in
the German papers relative to Austria.
From the German papers. —The fate
Prussian Minister at London, Mr. Ja
cobi, who had proceeded on his journey
home, has arrived at Hamburgh ; and,
it is believed, intends returning imme
diately to England.
The French troops on the Rhine and
Maine are in motion ; and a part of
them actually passed over the right
bank of the latter river at Frankfort.
The French Emperor’s Body Guards
have quitted the Palace of St. Cloud,
and been replaced by other troops.
The treasures of the Cathedral at
Munster have been removed to Madge
burg, for safety.
From the Hamburgh Correspondent of
Sept. 26.—The number of the Swedish
troops in Lauenburgh increases; and,
it is said, they are to be joined by a bo
dy of Prussian troops.
'The Prussian minister has frequent
conferences with our cabinet.
From London papiers, September 19.
Although it seems the English are not
willing to exclude neutrals from trad
ing to Buenos Ayres, yet it is sappos
ed the duties will be such as not to en
courage the importation of any other
than British goods.
Mr. Sheridan has declined the honor
of the Westminster election. Earl Per

FURTHER INTELLIGENCE.
Captain Foster left Constadt the 13th,
and Copenhagen the 30th September.
Previous to his departure from the for
mer place, he learnt, that no part of the
treaty which had been signed at Paris,
by M. O’Ouibt il, was agreeable to the
views of the Emperor Alexander, or in
conformity to his instructions; and that
such was the indignation of the Russi
an court against this minister, for hav
ing violated the faith which he owed to
his sovereign, that an order of banish
ment had immediately followed his re
turn to St. Petersburgh, and M. D’Ou
bril was no longer to be found among
the living, unless on his way to the de
serts of Siberia ; that the greatest ac
tivity prevailed in levying and embody
ing troops ; that immense camps iiad
been formed; that large bodies were
marching towards the frontiers; and
that nothing else was talked of hut war
against France, a measure which ap
peared to be very popular among all
classes; that the Prince Constantine,
brother to the Emperor, was spoken of
as being highly in favor of the war, and
had offered the utmost assistance which
he could lend to the cause.
Captain Foster further advises, that
the day before lie left Copenhagen, ac
counts were received at that place, per
mail, that every hope of peace had fi
nally vanished; and that hostilities had
actually commenced between Prussia
and France; that Lord Lauderdale had
demanded his passports, and was on
the point of quilting Paris, three sever
al times, during the negociation, with
out having effected the object of his em
bassy ; but that from circumstances
j which were not known to the public,
| though not affecting the serious busi
ness of the negociation, he still remain
ed at Paris, at the date of the last ac
counts from that city. On the subject
generally of a renewed Continental
War, captain Foster was desired to re
port, by his merchant at Copenhagen,
that the safest calculations might be
made on the certainty of its commence
ment, and a strong probability of its long
continuance.
In our last London papers, it is men
tioned, that the following paragraph
was omitted, by mistake, in the official
letter of gen. Stuart—lt should have
followed the article which relates to the
first movements of the British army,
when marching to attack the French ar
my in Calabria.
“ Had gen. Regnier thought proper
to remain upon his ground, the diffi
culties of access to him were such that
I could not possibly have made an im
pression But quitting this
advantage amqpßsing the river with
his entire force, he came down to meet
us upon the open plain—a measure to
which he was no doubt encouraged by
his cavalry, an arm with which unfor
tunately, I was altogether unprovided.”
NEW-YORK, Nov. 19.
\esterday afternoon the ship New
Guide, capt. Hall, from Liverpool, came
up to the city, after being detained be
low by head winds. Our London pa
pers by the New Guide are to the 25th
of September, six days later than be
fore received. They state, on the au
thority of a letter from Plymouth, that
Lord St. Vincent has taken out all the
' Portuguese ships of war at Lisbon, and
is rigging them with all possible dis
patch, and no doubt will bring them
- away with him, and all the Royal Fa- !
mily.
1 lie Veteran, Jerome Bonaparte’s j
ship, is hauled into the inner harbor at
Concarneau, and moored head and stern
to the shore, there not being room for
her to wing; her guns are taken out to
make batteries to protect her even there,
and her sails unbent, so apprehensive
are they of a visit from some of the Bri
r tish ships.
i LONDON, Sept. 23.
i The Expeditionn. —The variety of
• thesr, the mode ot equipment of some
of them, and the term for which they
■ are variously victualled, puts conjecture
at defiance. A great many fiat-bot
tomed boats have been sent from the
■ Downs, and most of the transports have
■ now one or two of them.
With sincere pleasure we learn, that
rewards and honors are to be conferred
■ on Sir Home Hopham and Major Gen.
’ Beresford.
On Sunday the transports with the
following regiments, sailed from Ports
mouth.
40th Regiment, Ist Battalion ; 40th
do. 2d battalion ; 14th do. 2d battalion ;
sth German Legion, detachment; 6th
do. detachment; 7th do. whole regi
ment; and Bth do. whole regiment.
Part of the 9th dragoons marched
through Dover yesterday from Deal, on
their way to Portsmouth, where they
are to be embarked for foreign service.
Major General Sir Arthur Welles!.y
and Sir George Prevost, will it is said
get the commands of sepefate expedi
tions.
Sept. 25.
We understand that the following arc
the new arrangements which are agreed
upon in consequence of the lamented
death of Mr. Fox.
Earl hitzwilliam, from indisposition,
wishes to retire from the situation
(whjch requires regular attention) of
Lord President, but to retain his seat
in the Cabinet. Lord Sidmouth, to be
Lord President. Lord Holland to be
Lord Privy Seal. Lord Howick, to be
Secretary of State for the Foreign De
partment. Mr. 1 homas Grenville, to
be first Lord of the Admiralty. Mr.
Tierney, to be President of the Board
of Controul. Mr. Braggs Batharst, to
be Master of the Mint, vice Lord Chas.
Spencer. Mr. Whitbread will also be
speedily called into office, but the ar
rangement for that purpose is not yet
matured. We can now' add, with the
utmost confidence, that Lord Grenville
proceeded on Monday morning to
Windsor, to to take the King’s plea
sure upon the above nominations, all 1
of which it is presumed will be confirm- ;
ed at the privy council held this day.
THE EXPEDITIONS.
One of the expeditions now fitting '
out is for the Spanish Main. We un- >
derstand that the 26th, the 87th and
89th regiments, are to go on this ser
vice'. |
“ Plymouth, Sept. 22.
“ This morning early, the wind hav
ing sprung up at E. N. E. the signal
was made for the transports to wei-rii
immediately and put to sea. Every
preparation for sailing was made in con
sequence, and, had the wind continued, I
the whole would have been clear of the 1
port before this time; but it soon veered
back to the Westward, and prevented
their proceeding.
“ Orders have been received this day
to prepare thre£ transports for the re
ception of the 87th regiment of foot,
which we understand, are to be joined
bv the 89th regiment,from Portsmouth,
and then both proceed direct for Bue
nos Ayres.
“ The Glatton, of 50 guns, is fitting
with all dispatch for a foreign station ;
it is said that she is to take the three
Last Indiamen that are here under con
voy as tar as Bengal Bay, and then to
proceed for Botany Bay. The Koyal
George of 110 guns, has still the signal
for sailing flying, and ali the ships are
at single anchor ready for a start. (ien.
Sir Hugh Dalrymple goes out in the
Royal George, his stoics were put on
board yesterday.”
The foreign intelligence received bv
tae french papers ytsterdav, though it
is well enough understood that all that
comes through that channel, wherever
it may be* dated from, is of Parjy.ii>
manufacture, had the effect to lower the
iunds a little. Nor are we surprised at
it, for it is plain even from the care tak
en to give such intelligence a flavonr
suited to the French palate*, that the
french cabinet is under considerable
apprehensions that a war between
France and Prussia, in which the latter
will be assisted by Russia, and perhaps
by other powers, is at no very great
distance.
Lord Ha vkesbury sailed on hoard
the *1 lianies Ligate, a lew clays ago, in
j order to take a Jeefi at Boulogne. His
I lordship was yesterday landed at Deal,
I and Was saluted with 15 guns from the
frigate on leaving her.
We understand the remains of Mr.
Fox will lie in state three days, at his
house in S'. James s*—if the Prince of
Wales does not follow him as chief
mourner, 1 .ord Ilolland will. Ilis lord
ship issued cards of invitation to a num
ber of distinguished characters, to fol
low his illustrious uncle, as mourners.
I hey include the whole of his col
egues in office : the Duke of Devon
shire, the Marquis of Tavistock for his
lather the Duke of Bedford, the Mar
quis of Harringdon, Earl Pearcy, Lord
W. Russell, Mr. Byng, and Mr. Whit
bread. The whole number invited, ,a
mount to about forty.
