In confequenceof the oppreflion which the com merce and navigation of neutral nations had ex. 'perienced fince the commencement of the prefent war, on the part of the Britith navy, the different Courts inteictied could no longer refrain, after fit many fruitlefs complaints, from protecting, with mire energy, the violated rights of their fubjeds. The refult was a Convention, entered into on the 15th of December, i 800, at St. Pcterfburgh, I between Ruffia, Denmark, and Sweden, the juft and moderate principles of which had been before I adopted and followed by the Court of London it fell: and his Pruffian Majefly, who had alfo found this violence prejudicial to his Rates and his flag, did not hefitate to accede to this Treaty. The contraaing Courts were on the point of communicating to the Belligerent Post ers, the Convention they had concluded, and of forming arrangements with them, when England, by an un expeeed Rep, difconcerted this amicable derign, by laying an embargo on all veffels in its ports belonging to the Maritime powers of the North, and thus Manifefting itfelf as an enemy. It might have been ex peeled, that his Majefty the 1 1 KING of PRUSSIA would not fee with a favourable eye and indifference this condlia. and therefore his Majefty foon after tranfmittcd to the Court of London, his declaration of the 1 xth of February, publicly and formally avowing his acceflion to the Convention of St. Peterfburgh, and pointing out at the fame time, the means by which the dif ferences that had arifen might be accommodated, and a complete rupture avoided. But inftead of adopting the expedient propofed, England palled over in filer= the anfwer deliver. ed to Lord CARTSTORT at Berlin. It continued to treat as enemies the Northern Flags; and in a I note tranfmittei from Lord Hawassavey the 1 Secretary of State, to the Swedith Envoy, Baron d'ENRINICHWARD, dated London, March 7th, Rill manifetted its falfe principles, fo often refut ed :—" That in the prefent circumflances, the em bargo laid on the Swedifh veffels could not be taken off, while the Court of Stockholm adhered to a Coalition which had ono other objed than to compel his Britannic Majefty to accept a new code of Maritime Laws, incompatible with the dignity and independence of his Crown, as well as with the Rights of his fubjeds." ' A fimilar declaration was loon tranfinitted to the Court of Denmark, which added, that it mull abandon the Northern Coalition, and enter into a feparate negotiation with England : aTter having received a negative anfwer, Mr. DRUMMOND, the Englifh Charge d'Affaires , as well as Mr. VaNSIT. TART, the Plenipotentiary Extraordinary, quitted Copenhagen the fame day; and in the mean time the Englifli fleet, under the command of Admiral P , defined for the Baltic Sea, had altually arrived on the coals of Zealand. It appears from all thefe events, that the Court of London will abfolutely not &flit from its in-1 fupportable demands, and accept the means pro- I pored for an amicable accommodation; his Ida jelly the Kano of Plume finds himfelf there fore forced, agreeably to the obligations he has contracted, to take the molt effeaual meafutes for fupportintr the Convention; thus attacked, and, by adopting . reprifals, limiter to the hoßile Reps purfued by it, to Phut not only the Mouths of the Elbe, the Wefer, and the Ems, but to tale r4,,, ,, ,. , ,,{ A t it he:lle: E kl k os e r o, ?irg ef to s h r t ./ A:tilt a be K ur t; hated is Gavial. For this purpofe, h i s Majefty the Kt on of Pons :is demands, requires, and expeCts, of the Eke torah College of the Privy CounfeHors of Hano ver, and the generality, that they will fubmit to. this difpofition without delay and without reply; and that they will voluntarily follow the orders which will be given in regard to taking poffellion of the Eleaorate by the Pruffian troops, as well as in regard to the Eledoral Countries themfelves. His Majefty principally demands, that the Hano verian corps, which has hithertoheen Rationed on the line of demarcation of the north of Germany, I flail be difbanded and difmiiTcd, with a propor- , tional part of the other troops. I its Majefty re quires, that the generals and all the officers (ball declare, in writing, that they will not ferve again! his Majefty the - I(axe of PIUSJIA, on the con trary, that they will aridly follow his orders till the affair (hall be.terminated. The troops which remain under their colours (lull enter into quarters on the right bank of the Leine, the left bank of the Aller and behind the Lithe, its far as the Elbe, where they (hall be dißributed in the towns of Hanover, Gifhorn, Uelgen, Lunebourg, and other (mall towns and villages of that diftrid. All the other places, comprehending the fortrefs of Hameln, flail be furrcndercd to the Prliffian troops under the command ofLieutenant General K t.t isr. His MAJIsTr announces at the fame time, that the maintenance of the Prufriaa troops (ball be at the expence of the Elellot al countries.

Eail Sr. Viset:ur gave notice, that he would to-morrow move the thank: of the Houle to Ad miral Sir Hyde Parker, Vice Admiral Lord N'el km, and • the Officers and Seamen of the Fleet, who difplayed fo much' (kill and bravery in the . engagement entered into between the fquadrons of is Majeity's Ihips, and the D:mifh• fleet before Co2enhagai, which terminated fo eminently to the glory of his Majeßy's arms, after a fevcre and bloody contefi, in which the Danes both in their shipping and in their capital luffercd reveres'. The Irith Mailer of the Rolls' Bill paled the Committee of the whole Houle, without amend ment. _ On the Motion of the Secretary of State (Lord HOSART), that the fird Report of the Committee of Secrecy of the Houk of Commons be rcad, the fame was read at the table. His Lordibip then moved, That the laid Report be referred to a Secret Committee of that Houfc. confilling of eleven noble Lords ofthat Houk, and • that the said Committee be chorea , by ballot. Earl of Moms Paid, he did not rife to tea the motion, but merely to fiazgefl the ncceflity of the Houle ezercifing tome degree of caution in the very firft Reps they took on to important a fubje& as the Bill before them founded on the Report jnft read and prefented. Their attention ought to be direaed to the call of chars* ers of which the Committee about to be charm was formed, the Committee of Secrecy of the other Houk, (whicit he might advert to, as their . names were printed in the votes), was wholly compoled of perfons who were doubtlefs individually highly refpeaable, but who, having . all been either members of the late Adminiftration, or its uniform fupporters, their Report became liable to what might be deem ed wholefome, conflitutional fufpicion. He w ifhed, that the Secret Committee of their own Houk might be fo compofed as to avoid the liability to any foal fulpicion.—Another matter he thought indirpenfibly necclary, viz. that a copy of the evi dence which had been adduced hetore,the Com mittee of the Commons fhould either be laid be fore their Lordfhips' Committee, or the fame wit. nefres lhould undergo an examination before them. His Lordlhip laid, he did not mean tinnecefirily to throw obllacles in the way of the Bill, but he had a right to expert that the itecedity for the mea fure (hould be fully proved before be was called upon to vote away the moll efential rights of his fellow fubjeas. The Noble SECILITART of STATN raid, if the Noble Baron had but waited a moment, be would have convinced him that every word he had Paid was premature. He agreed with the Noble Baron that it was indifpenfibly necelfary, before the Honk was called upon to proceed beyond the tirft read. ing of the Bill upon the table, that the evidence in fupport of . the Report of the Honfe of Com mons fhould be fubmitted to their own Committee to report upon. Had the proper noble Lord been prefent, thofe papers would have beta laid on the table, and after the Committee (bouid have been ehofen, thofe Tapers would have been referred to the Lords' Committee. With regard to the for mation of the Committee, he knew no fAitcr mode of chording it than by ballot. Lord HOLLAND laid, it did rather extraordina rily happen that moll of the Committee chofen on fuck °maims in that Houk contiflecl of only one defcription of ;serious ; he faw no re.;„, the Committee (hould not he named in the 11,.tif.:, in like manner as the Committee to inquire into the caufe of the high price of Provifions had been named. The Noble SECRFTAIY Of STATE explained, that the Committee for the. puttscfc had been a Sakti, not a Seirfi Committee. That it was t h e eonßant praaice so elea the latter by ballot. A flight conversation then took place on the fir reading of the Bill between Lord Rawdon, Lord Hobart. Lord Holland, the Earl of Kinnoel, the Duke of Montrofe, and Lord Thanet.— After which the Bill was read a firß time, and the Secret Committee ordered to be banned fur at half after eleven to-utorrOw.--Adjourned.
