Extract of a letter from Stade, dated June 6.

Yesterday evening arrived her Majesty the Queen of Denmark at the Swinge, where a sloop was ready to convoy her to this city. On her arrival, she was received with all royal dignity. To-morrow her Majesty will attend divine service, and a sermon preached by Dr. Pratie, after which she will set out for Winsen upon the Elbe, where her Majesty will stay over night. The British Minister Sir Robert Murray Keith, convoys her Majesty to Gorcde, from whence he is to return to London. Her Majesty was saluted on her arrival here with 36, 20 and 14 cannons, which were answered by the frigate at the Swinge, and from the walls of this city. Her Majesty does not receive any compliments on her voyage, and it is said she will not receive any even at Gorcde, as she is to reside there only a short time. As soon as her Majesty went on board the English ship at Elsinore, the Danish royal flag was hoisted.
