His MA. Y has appointed Admirals PA LAENczy isr and CFl:Eu.llc' m, and ten Captains, to act in concert with the Danifh, Ruffian, and Swedifh fleets. Letters from Pcterfburgh, of the 7th ult. men tal, that the Englifh goods fold by the Com: million of Liquidation, notwithftantling the un fivourable circumflances under which they were eipufcd, went at high prices. Our defenfive preparations are continued, and an incredible degree of aCtivity prevails in the Dick -yards. An Englifts frigate of 44 guns, lately entered a port in Norway, and captured four Swedifh vef fels.—She had taken a fifth, but on finding it to be Norwegian property, fhe releafed it. FEB. 26.—A flotilla of 200 fail is meted in the Sc,und, dettined to the defence of the coaft. It is reported that the Swedifh Government has fent to he port of Offer Rifoer, an officer charged with enquiring into the capture of the Swedifh veffels. it is added, that he found on his way two Englifti %rads in one of the ports of Sweden, which were detained by his orders. MARCH 3.—The King of Sweden, who is at prefent at Schonen, has invited our Crown Prince t o give him a meeting at Helfingborg ; and to morrow his Royal Highnefs will leave that city for this purport.

This morning, at eight o'clock, the King left this city, with a large retinue, for the foethern and weflern v.-Q(ls of the kingdom, to encourag e, by his pretence, the armaments and meafures for de fence. The Minifter of Marine, Admiral Owe- Sian?, who is returned to Schonen, from Copen hagen, and the Governor-General and Commander in Chief of the land-forces, Baron Tom., will re ceive his Majefty at Gothenburg, and thence ac company Min along the coaft to Heltuagborg. In a certain cafe his Majefty will afterwards either proceed to Denmark, or have a conference with the Prince Royal on the frontiers. From Helfing borg the King will go to Carlfcrona, there to in (pea the fleet and the different armaments. The adminiftration of public affairs, during the King's abfence from the-Capital, is entrufted to the fame perfons whom he had appointed for the fame pur pofe during his flay in Ruffle. The Minifterial Notes, in which the Courts of Copenhagen and Berlin have ftrongly declared that they will ftrialy adhere to the principles laid down as the bafis of the rights of neutrality in the Northern Convention, are confidcred here as com pletely binding and fatisfaaory, and throughout the kingdom there is but one voice with refpea to the violation with which the liberty of the Seas is menaced by England. We have learnt here, with horror and indignation, the intelligence, that, without a declaration of war, an Englifh frigate has carried its aas of hoftility to far as to take four Swedifh reels out of the Northern port of Offer-Rifoer, where they had been to winter. A fifth veffel, which the Englifh were likewife on the point of carrying off, was fet at liberty, when they learnt that it belonged to Norway. Fss. at.—The Grand Fleet under the com mand of Admiral Romagna, is to fail on the tatit of next month, for the purpofe of cruizing in the Sound. _ _ The Kiva has fixed next Friday for his depar ture ; but it is not yet known whether he will firft go to Carlfcrona or to Gottenburgh. EEL 21.—A frigate is fpeedily to fail to Nor way, to prevent the mifchief caufcd there by Eng lifh privateers and (mall (hips of war. The man ivr in which an Englifh frigate lately violated the neutral port of Offer-Rifoer, is differently Rated here. It is laid to have entered that port with a Swedifli veffel, which being reclaimed, it not only refuted to liberate, but alfo took four other Swe dilh that h appened to be in that port, and forced a pilot to convey them out. In another port of Norway, an affray took place between the crew of an Englifh critter and Tome Pilots and fai;o:s, in which one of the pilots was killed, and three wounded. A frigate and Tome (mall armed veffels are to be Rationed in the Belt, under the command of Captain Su EDOlt ?a. On account of the telegraphs which are to be eflablilhed through out the kingdom, orders have been fent w all bai liffs, for felling all the wood in diftrifts, where it might be an obfiruftion to the telegraphs. Letters from Riga Rate, that the importation of all (ilk, woollen, linen, and hempen Ruffs, is prohibited in Rulfia. An Englifh frigate is Paid to have been Branded on the coati of Norway, the crew of which is Caved. _ _ PEP.. 22.--. The KING of Sweden has juft fet out from this city, for Oottenburgh. ELSOIEUR, FEBRUARY sr. A Letter-front Ofter.ftifoet, in Norway, of the Loth inn. flares, that, on the loth inft. the Scut:R- M., Engin frigate, Capt. j. HANSTIAD, had catered that port, and carried off the following Snedifh flips, viz.' Telemaque, Capt. CLaus SIM:WM° Importantia, Capt. 0. Boas; Aer batheren, Capt. A. %Run ; and Sreden, Capt. J. Masa:Jim The Englifh forced the pilots of Nor way to enndue there vela' out of the harbour. Ilia intelligence is confirmed from Mandal, and We apprehend fimilar vifiu from the Englifh here. On the 6th a galley was chafed and taken by an Englifii cutter clok to the coati, and a cutter was cruir.mg, in the evening of the 7th, in the bay of hi h aeklar.--A Letter from Chriflianfand, of the loth inn: ages, that intelligence had been received th ere Om Reggesjord, by a courier, of an Eng lish frigate having taken ( even Dantat velfels in the North fea. one of which having been manned by an Entails prize -mailer and az failors, funk, but the whole of the crew were Caved by a Teal from Norway, and carried into ItagrAjord• TVAKEI. CONSTANTINOPLE, JASI. 26. The intelligence that the French had penetrated into the neighbourhood of Vienna, and that a new armiilice has been concluded, hds produced great alarm here. The expedition of the Englilh againft Egypt, and the exprefq rcprefentations of ROLL againit that meafure, encreafe the embarr.dlinen:s of the Porte. After receiving an extraordinary courier from London, Lord Elgin had an .extra ordinary interview with the Thrkifli Ten Turkillr Chips of war were ready to put to fea, but the orders of the Government for their failing are (till withheld. According to report the Captain Pacha will this day fet out for Rhodes, in order, in the pre fent pofture of affairs, to concert with the Englifh the means of concluding peace with the French in Egypt, cat What it may. The Englifh Com modore, Sir Sidney Smith, has invited the Cap tain Pacha to Rhodes. The Grand Vizier's army is reduced, by dcfertion, to moo men, and great apprehenfion is entertained of an irruption of the French into Syria. Ghezzar Pacha and the in habitants of Mount Lebanon are in the intercft of the French. Accounts have been received here of a naval engagement on the coal of Egypt between the French and Englifh, in which, of twelve French (hips of war, fix were taken, two funk, and four had got into Alexandria. We have yet received no accounts of the Englifh having landed in Egypt. JAN. 3o.—General Abercromby, with the Eng lifh troops, according to all accounts, has not yet landed in Egypt. They were till in the harbour of Macri, and the accounts received of the (late of the French in Egypt has given rife to this delay. The report that Soon Frenchmen" had landed on the coat of Africa, in order to march to Egypt, obtains little credit. A report is in circulation here, that the natives of Egypt had rifen againfl the French, but this wants confirmation.—Corn and other provifions are (till bought up for the Englilh fleet in the ports of Turkey; and it is pofitively faid, that Lord ELGIN has obtained leave from the Porte, to fend 15,0c0 kils of corn to England for his account. A few days ago his Lordfhip was prefented by the Captain Pacha with a beautiful horfe.—The Am baffadors from the Seven United Iflands, rending here, Counts LISCOC HILO and Svu.e, have been appointed Knights of Malta, by the EMPELOR of Russie. SEMI.IN, FEBRUARY to. The arrival of the lateft poll from Conflan tinople is retarded, the courier being obliged to purfue his route from Sophia by way of Buchareft, on account of the many robberies. According to all accounts, anarchy has rifen to the higheft pitch in Turkey. The Pacha of Belgrade, being threat• ened with his difmiffion, declared he would main tain himfelf in office by force of arms. Under fuch circumflumes, there is reafon to believe, that, if the campaign which PASWAN OGLOII is about to open, turns out fuccefsful for him, the neighbour ing Turkifh provinces will receive a different form. Near Adrianople, the Grand Seignior's troops have defeated a horde of robbers, and killed their leader, whore head was expofed for three days over the gate of the Seraglio. LONDON. MONDAY, MARCH 16.

Mr. PITT, on Saturday afternoon, refigned the Seals of Chancellor of the Exchequer into his Majxsvv's hands, at the Qt2een's Houfe ; and Mr. ADDINGTON received them at the fame time, and kilted hands oa the «cation. The EARL GOMIS packet, Capt. Maxi, which arrived from Liffion on Wedneklay laff, after a paffage of eleven days, brought over a Portuguefe Meffinger, and an Officer of the Army with dif. patches from Sir RaLrM ANERCNONIIII..--ThIS packet alfo brought the melancholy account of the lots of the London and Ofwald tranfports, on the cos& of Spain : all the crew (except one mate and two fcamcn of the London) unfortunately perifhed, together with feveral officers of the army, who were en board.—Thefe two tranfpurts failed from Falmouth on the 24th January, in company with the Liffion fleet, under convoy of the Ssa-Hosts and MAIDSTONE frigates ; and had on board ffores for Malta.—By the fame conveyance we learn, that the Spanifh Ambalador quitted Lithos on the Isnh ultimo, and an immediate rupture, it is raid, was expeffed between Spain and Portugal. Soldiers were daily marching to the frontiers. The above intelligence we received this morning in a private letter from Falmouth. A morning paper of this day, however, rays, that the Officers who arrived with difpatches from the Mediterra. nean, came from Malta, and brought no accounts either from Sir RAE,. ABERCROMBIE, or Lord Jima, but adds, that they brought an account of Athnir.tl fquadron baying p't' into Touln , n to rc:it. Three of the ii:unb.ll-2,h Nlails due arrived or. Saturday, and yelleaty a fourth was received. By thefe mails we I.:arn, that the different powers of the North are making every effort to put them felves in a formidable (tate of defence. Sweden is exerting itlell for the alli(tar.ce of Denmark. A letter from Copenhagen, of the aSth ult. lays, that a Swedifh flotilla of too fail was expected in the Sound for the protection of the coafls. The Danes have reinforced the Caflle of Cr.)nenberg with troops and artillery. RefpeCling the defigns of Pruflia little certain is known. 'the Hamburgh paper of the 3d of March infinuates, however, that a Pruflian army is ordered to be ready to march in cafe the anfwcr of the Britifh Court to the note of Count Houowyrz (hall not be fatis ' faCtory. Our readers will fee by the notes of Lord CARYSFORT, previous to the laft hollile note of Count HAVOWITZ, of which we have given a tranflation from a German Copy, that our Am baffador maintains, in their full extent, the prin ciples for which the Britifli empire contends. Letters from Conflantinople of the 3oth of Ja nuary !late, that no acconnts had at that time been received there of any attempt having been made by the Britifh troops to effed a landing in Egypt. In confcquence of the threats held out by Ruffia, the Porte, it appears, is at prefeut in a very embarraffed fituation. NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE. TORBAY, MARCH z 4.
