No perfon can be for• prifed tl.at in the prefent degraded Rate of Pruffia, fhe fonuld have no choice left but to ail as fhe may be ! commanded by her conqueror. The prohibition will I be injurious to us, but ruinous to Prnffia. Will Ruffia adopt the fame fyitem i Time alone can anfwer this queltion. In the mean time that Government has iffued an Ukafe refpeeing the ad. million of foreigners. It is a curious document. The j preamble Rates, that it is for the purpcia of facilitats ing the admillion of foreigners, while every regulation multiplies the difficulties. There are few Nita fubjels, we believe, who would fubmit to all the 1 inconvenience and publicity of there regulations.-- But on the face of them they are levelled as much at others as at Britifh fubjees ; and it is poffible they may be intended to prevent frelh it .)ottationeof ferret Trench agents. We are bound, however, to Rate that it is repurted with fume degree of confidence, that the , Court of St. Peterfhurgh has been required by France tr, fhut her ports againft all commercial intercoutfe with this country. Notwith (landing the unauthorized Rape in which this intelligence appears, it is not to be peremptorily rejected. It i• not impoffible that profpeeive engagement of this kind might have been entered into at Tilfit, dependent upon and re. ;erring to the intended offer of mediation by the Em. peror ALEXANDER. The continuance of the com• social intercourfe might have been made to depend spon the acceptance of that mediation upon the bafis dißated by Bomartaays, and communicated by the Itnperor of Ruflia. HAMBI./RGH AND ALTONA PAPERS To the z3d ult. have been received. The principal article they prefent is an Ordonance acted by the Data Government relating to the detention of Bri tilk and property. The fat - lance of it has been known for fome time : the particulars will be mad with interefl, by fueh perfons as had consmercial relations with the Danifh territories. It does not appear that the Danifh Government has tiled any ex traordinary rigour on this lactation. There regula tions, which *re much the fame as ate ufually reforted to In fimilar inflances, were fully warranted by the circumflances of our attack upon Copenhagen. The articles, however, relating to private corref pondence, are open to fome cenfure. There is forme- thing in this total prohibition of correfponderce, which favours of French rancour and fufpicion. It appears by an at - ticle from Kiel, that it was the with of the Danifh Government that the fleet fhould rather be deftroyad than fttrrendered to us, even upon the moderate contftions prop fed. The orders for carry ing this intention into effed were fortunately inter cepted. The Governor of Copenhagen does not Teem to be fo much blamed for furrendering the town, the needlity for which is admitted to have been irrefifl ible, a► for having admitted into the capitulation' Ili pulations which were beyond his powers and inaruc tion r. Private letters, of the 23d ult. from Hamburgh, Rate that the Senate of Hamburgh has given BONA PASTE 16 millions of livres for the redemption of the Englifh merchandize feized in that city. Yeller-day a Cabinet Council was held at the Secre tary of State's office, which vas attended by all the Members in town, and alfo by Sir Arrstort WEL LESLEY.

No letters have been yet received from her, as the was immediately put under quaran tine t but the difpatches brought by her from Ad miral PURYIs, who, in the abfence of Lord Cow N wools, commands the fleet before Cadiz, arrived at the Admiralty yellerday morning. Ytfterday afternoon Captain GORDON, of the Mo nut sloop, arrived at the Admiralty Office, with difpatches from Lord COLLINGWOOD, in the Mediter ranean. Captain Goaoos was alfo the bearer of difpatches for Lord CASTLEREAGH and Mr.Catia 'NG. Mr. Jere KIN3OII, the brother of Lord Havre Esau a v, who was reported to be detained paffing through Rolland, oo his way from the Court of Vienna to England, arrived in town yeflerday. The report of his having been detained, arofe from the circomflance lithe vacl in which he took his departure from Rot teidam being obliged to put back to that port; but Mr. Ilona SON quitted her, and got on board a Miring veffel, from which he was taken out at fea by the Flora frigate. The order for the execution of the naval Lieute. oast, whole ttial, at Plymouth Dock we lately men tioned, was fent off on I'hutfday. He is to be exe cuted on board the veffel in which the crime was committed.

The latter was a Midthipman on board the Alexander man of war, captured off St. Domingo, in ;W.—. He was on his parole at Qdiham, and afterwards confined on board the Crown prifon fhip, at Portf mouth, from which he and his companion, with two others, jump:d overboard on the zal ult. The other two prifoners were drowned, in attempting to get on &ore, but thefe reached it in gaiety, and went to London. Tuefday night a boat, with all her materials, which was lying in Dover harbour, at a convenient place to put to fea on the arrival of any (hipping, was cut from her moorings, and take n a w a y, f a il to be by fome Danes.

The fever:ll corps mullered very numeroufly, and appear. ed extremely well appointed in every particular, fo as to afford the greatell latisfaaion to the General, who was pleafed to bellow the highell encomiums upon their martial appearance, military (kill and difcipline. Saturday night a young man fell into one of the locks in going to Ringfend, and was unfortunately drowned. The names of the ill fated couple who perilbed on Thurfday night in the fame quarter, was Greaves, not Graham, as appeared in the Papers. They were natives of England.

This Gen• tleman padres a conftderable fhare of vivacity, and though an arduous attempt after 'Awls, he infufed fufficient ifpirit into the charaaer to enfure general approbation.

Frei. —Yefierday morning, about half paR five o'clock, a fire was difcovered in the premifes of Mr. Cope, of Ofboutne-(freer, nearly oppofite to White. chapel Church, fugar baker. It was more of a (mo thering Raft +eating Crooke than open fire, and ennfe quently more to be dreaded, as no one could imme diately efcertain from whence it came. The work men, who are chiefly Germans, and feveral Trifle brick layers labourers, from an adjoining building, exerted their mama endeavours to find cut the particular (pot from whence the fmoke originally proceeded, and lime of them ricked their lives in the attempt. At length they were convinced that it originated in the paper room, a room on the third floor where the paper is kept Fr wrapping up the loaves (.1 (agar when they arc cool and fit to be decsolited in the Rose houfe, ready to be fent to fhopkeepers, or to the wharfs for exportation. Every means that were in the power of thefe people were tried to extinguifh the fumes, but to no effect. A flame burn out fud , denly on fotne who ventured to approach too nearly to the fource the fire, and it was with the utmolt difficulty that they laved their lives. A great num. her of engines very lhortly reached the (pot, and water was plentifully had, as the main pipe runs d twit in front of the premifes. However the fury of the ) flames increafed, in fpite of the petfevering inetuflre ' with which the men plied the engines. The file communicated to the loaf room, the mould room, ar.d the different pans that were full of fugar, baking. At half pan fix, the fire made a mon awfully grand ap.. peararce. At fever o'clock the roof fell in; the cr alh which this occalinned, and the fmoke which followed, threw the neighbours in the utmon consternation, particularly thole in Angel alley, at the back of the premifes, whole houfes ha .1 been dellroyed about five years ago by a fire, which originated in the lame manufaCtory. Before eight o'clock the flames ex• tended to the Rote honk belonging to the fame concern. The two then united made one raft body of fire until pan eleven in the day, when the principal force of the dellrudive element was fubdued. It was found neceffary, however, to continue the engines playing the whole day, and even after nightfall tome ttefh blazes were oh ferved octafionally to (tart up. It is amazing to *A len?* that fcience,lo fa R, to which the firemen have brought their art : they knew the tough unconque table body ct fire which they had to contend with, and, as lung as any hope could be realonably enter. tained, they played upon the note houfe, which is near to Mr. Bullock's brewhoufe, and which con tained property to a confiderable amount. As loon as they difcnvered that it was gone pan all remedy, ' they turned their attention to the prefervati .n of the tea of the neighbourhood, in which they mon hap pily fucceeded ; the third houfe, belonging to Mr. ' Cope, was {lightly injured ; but, notwithaanding the great length of time which the fire continued, and the food that it had to fupport it, not a tingle neigh bouring houfe caught fire. The premifes were inCured to a conaderable amount at the Royal Exchange. Phsenix, and Imperial Fire Offices ; but it is laid not by a good deal fo high as the valtre of the premifes and the property which they con tained. The men, according to their 'dual cultom, had been at work from two in the morning, and from the fmoke which was at firll perceiveti, they had fufficient notice, to that no one perfonally injured. The Whi echapel and the Spitalfields Vo lunteers attended with the utmon airerity in the , morning. and continued on duty during the whole of yciicrday aad IxR u;glit. [1 111
