NORTHERN CONFEDERACY. .OPESIHACEN, FEB. 7.—On the ,sth of jann -v Lord GRENVILLE prefented to the Daniflt asd Swedi(h Ambaffadors, the ram% ing Note e fp:fting the embargo laid on the Danifh and Swedilh veffels : _ _ The underfigned, principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has been commanded by his Majefly to make the following communication to Count VON WEDEL JARLSBERG, and Baron VON ENRENSWAI.D, Danith and Swedith Envoys at this Court. _ _ His Majefty has heard with the fincereft con cern, that at the moment when the Court of Pe terfburgh had adopted the moll hollile meafures againft the iserfons and property of his Majefly's fubjeCts, the two Courts of Copenhagen and Stock-' holm had concluded a Convention with that Power for the maintainance of a naval armed Confe deracy in the North of Europe. If the circum (lances under which the Convention alluded to was negotiated and concluded, could Have left any doubt in his Majelly's mind refpeeting the objects to which it is directed, that doubt would, by the Declarations of the Court of Petertbuigh, and to farther by the recent and official Decla rations of the Court of Copenhagen, have been completely removed. It is fufficiently known with what hoftile intentions an attempt was made in the year 1780, to introduce a new code of pub lic law againft Great Britain, and to fupport by force a fyilem of innovation prejudicial to the deareft rights of the Britifh Empire. But his Majelly has hitherto had the fatisfitetion to fee that thole arbitrary and injurious mea lures have been completely given up. At the beginning of the prefent war, the Court of Pc eerfb'irgh, which had taken a molt aelive part in the eftablifbment of the former alliance, entered into articles with his Majelly which are not merely incompatible with the Convention of 1780, but which are dire fly in the face of it, engagements which are Rill in force, and the reciprocal execu tion of which his Majefty is entitled to demand up on every principle of good faith, during the con tinuance of the war. The conduit of his Majefty towards the other Powers of the Baltic, and all the decifions of his Courts of Jullice in regard to prizes, have been uniformly, and notorioufly, i founded upon thofe principle4which previnufly to the year 1780, had guided all other European Courts of Admiralty. Nor had the intention to I renew the former Confederacy been communica ted to his Majefty on the part of any of the can- traeling Powers, till be received information of the actual figning of the Convention, and had been apprifed by the declaration of one of the parties, that the objeCt of it was to confirm the ltipulations entered into in the year 1780, and 7781, in their original ihape. No farther doubts therefore can remain, that the objeet of their con federacy, and tire Naval prcrarations which the , contracting parties purfue with vigour, is nothing leis than to place themfelves in a fituation to I maintain by force, pretert'ions whi(ll arc lo chvioufly incontinent with rile principles of uftice, that thole Powers which when Neutral brought them forward, were the firft to oppole I them when they became Belligerent, and the eftablifhment of which, if it flould be effected, would be one of the pr:ncipai means of overthrow int.; the ftrcngth and fecurity of the Britilh Em pire. On the knowledge of tilde circurnflances, his Majefty, the King, fhould aft contrary to the interat of his People, the digri• . ^ of his Crown, and the honour of his Fiag, - (which by the difci ',line, courage, and (kill of his navy, has rifen to fo extraordinary a pitch of greatnefs) were he to delay the adoption of the molt effeCtual meafirres to repel the attack he has already experienced,and to oppofe the hutlile effe.h of the confederacy armed againtl him. His Majefty has therefore authorized the underfigned officially to communi cate to Count Wants 11.111.11iLIC and Baron Von hL ; , EaatttstrAtn, that an embargo has been laid upon all the Danilh and Swedith flips in the ports belonging to his Majefty. But in the execution of this mealure his Majefty will take care that no violent or fevere proceedings !hall be exercifed on the part of his Majefty towards innocent indivi duals. His Majefty is fill animated by the molt anxious defire that the circumftances which have rendered thefe Reps neceffary may ceafe, and that he may be enabled to return to thofe relations with the Courts of Stockholm and Copenhagen, which exifted between them, till that mutual good underftanding was interrupted by the prefent al tempts to renew former pretentions. (Signed) GREKVILLE• ANSWER OP THE DANISH AMBASSADOR. The underfigned, Envoy Extraordinary from his DANISH MAJESTY, will tranfmit this day with regret to his Court the official communication he had the honour to receive yefterday from Lord GRENVILLE, upon the fubje6l of the embargo laid upon the Danifh veflels in the Britifh ports. While he waits until the orders of the KING his mailer, relative to this oftenfive meafure, arrive, he cannot avoid proteffing againft the validity of the motives alledged in the faid note, and againft the jullice of the confequences, which the Britifh Government has conceived it could accredit again(] the Court of Copenhagen. A difference which arofe between the Courts of Peterfburgh and London during the Negotiation, defined folely to the proteetion of a perfect neutra lity in the North, has no re!ation whatever with that ; and as his Imperial Majefty of all the Ruf fias has caufed to be publiflied a formal declaration on the fubjea of the motives of the meafures adopt ed on his part, Denmark finds in it a complete re futation of the argument advanced by the Britifh Mnifter. With refped to the principles of the Northern Powers refpeding the facred rights of neutrality, they have not been abandoned. Ridlia, in her bel ligerent quality, has only fufpended the applica tion, and Denmark and Sweden have, by their con vention of the 27th March, 1794 (officially com municated to all the Belligerent Powers), declared in the face of all Europe, that their fyftem of pro tedion in favour of innocent commerce was invari able. Hence it follows that his DANISH Mart sr v only now renews ties which have not ccafed to exill.— The underfigned thinks himfelf, in consequence, atithorifed to prote ft, formally, againft proceedings of fo hoftile a nature, which the King, his mailer, could not but have confidered as an open and pre meditated provocation, had not the communica tion been accompanied with the atTurance that his BRITANNIC MAJESTY fill defircs to maintain good harmony with Denmark ; a defire which his' DANISH MAJESTY has conftantly profeffed, and of which he has given the moil unequivocal proofs. The underfigned, who for a number of years has felicitated lumfelf upon being the interpreter of the unalterable fentiments of tilt King his matter, is deeply hurt that falfe imprellions have juft me naced the _good underilanding between the two Crowns. He willies that he could Rill be the in ftrument of an explanation calculated to do away Injurious doubts, and to prevent incalculable con fequences to the interelts of the reciprocal Powers. It is with thefe fentiments, and with thole of perfeet confideration, that he has the honour to renew to his Excellency Lord GRENVILLL the homage of his refped. (Signed) WEDEL piILSLERG. FRANCE.

Count de KALITSCHEW, whom the EMPEROR of Russia fends as Ambaffador to Paris, is of a fa mily highly diftinguifhed in Ruflia, and connceted with the mot} illufirious families of that cotin try. The title of Count has been conferred on him only fince the acceiliun of PAUL 1. about two I years ago. He is now 45 years of age. After having vilitee all Italy, he came to Paris at the !time when Prince Gaerrirm was Ambaffador from Raja, and refidcd there attached to the Embatry. On his return to Petcrlburgli, he was appointed a Gentleman of the Bed-chamber about 178 o; and after that period he devoted himfelf to the diplomatic line. In the year 1784 he was made Minifler Plenipotentiary at the Hague, and was prefent there during the Revolution of 1787. He quitted the Hague in order to difcharge the fame fonaions at the Court of Berlin, and remain ed in that city till the death of the EMPRLs. When Count RASOLIMOWSKI ceafed to be Ambaffador at Vienna, the Estrraot appointed Count KALIT SCHEN to fucceed him ; and after his departure from that Court, he had orders to remain in the interior of Germany, that he might be near the theatre of bufinefs. On his return to Ruflia, the EMPEROR as a mark of his confidence coniirred on him the office of Vice-Chancellor in the room of Count PANIN. ha.

Thcfe Difpatches were brought to Falmouth by the MILBROOK fchooner of 18 guns, which was difpatched three days after the failing of the Packet, to give information to our Government of the French Squadron under Ad miral GATITHEALIME, having paired the Tagus on the sth inft. bearing to the Southward. An Offi cer from on board this fquadron had been landed at Lifbon ; and it was reported there, that the French had been reinforced by three Spaniffi men of war from Ferrol. The enemy's had almoft all loft their top-malls. There fcarcely exifts a doubt but that their deflination is for Egypt. The PHOENIX cutter, which had dogged the French Squadron, Lad been fent to acquaint Sir J. BORLASC WARREN, off Cadiz, of its being at fea. This day we received Paris Journals to the i ath infi. inclufivc. They contain nothing sfria/ re fpeeling the terms of the peace concluded with Aufiria, but a number of rumours on the fubjea ; as that Trance is to keep the left banks of the Rhine, Belgium, and polfelTion of Egypt ; Aufria to have the Bifhopt ics of Saltzbourg and Palau, with Venice, and part of Bavaria ; the Porte to have the Ex-Venetian Iflands ; PAUL to continue Grand•Maßer, and to be put in peon if Maki,/ 1 3 ; uffia to have Hanover ; and Poland to be re ellablilhed asst Kingdom, and given to the Arch duke JosePH.

An intereiling debate took place in the lionf e of Commons hit night, from which our Readers will be able to draw new light with regard to the caufes, and perhaps confequcnces of the late changes in adminittratioo.

THOMSON, for America, mails for New-York, of the firft Wedneiday the prefent month. _ _ Y m etlerday Mr. SHARP, brother to Mr. STFPREN SHARP, hisMajedy's Cole Conful at St. P.:tertSur d h, arrived in town from Rutlia, and, a-. is belies'. with Difpatches for Government. He was I.d,qy appointed by the KING luperintencleht of pr ners there; and whether he has been diipatchld home by the capricious Emperor on ace( ant cf!ii being intruded with this commitlion, and there. fore an objed of jealoufy to his Imp er i a l M a j e lt 7, or that he is the bearer of forre favourable propo. fitions, we know not. The private letters throw no light on the matter ; but they fay that a elhrige has taken place in the Councils of the Emperor. M. MARKOFF, who was Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the Empire, under M. Woßoszow, has been recalled from exile, and appointed Vicc-Cha::cd lor, a circumilance which would be interpreted favourably for England; but that Madame Hens, the beautiful French aelrefs, is his favourit,. The private letters from Haniburghll;e, that the Courts of Sweden and Denmark have taken no Reps to impede the Commerce of the Englifh in their ports. No embargo is laid on our veffels ; but in thePruffian ports, the Swedes and Danes had fold their !hips, fearing, that if his Prufrian Ma jefty fhould be brought into our views, the vet fels of thefe Countries Might be Ropt there, as well as in the ports of Great Britain. On the loth inflant, the Prince Royal of Den mark palled through Hamburgh, on his way to Berlin, with a view, as it is believed, of endeavour ing to procure the mediation of his Pruflian Ma jefty between them and the two Powers who equal ly threaten their independence, and trample on their weak condition. The Prince's journey is a proof at leaft that the Court of Berlin has not taken a dccifive part in the conteft. Laft night the New York Papers to the toth January inclufive, arrived in town. There are no communications in them upon the fubjeCt of the eleftion of Meffis. JurEsson and BURR. They contain fome important information upon the Convention between France and the United States. A letter from Walhington, dated the 3oth December, in the New York Riper of the gth January fays-4 , that the Convention with France remains undecided in the Senate, and that ferious °Nations have arifen to its unconditional ratifi cation. Several days, and perhaps weeks, will elapfe before the ultimate decifion of the Seintte will be promulgated." The New-York Paper of the foal, extraCts the following paragraph front the Bolton Ccntincl : ‘, By Thurfday's Mail, we learn that the Senate of the United States has re jeeted the Treaty with France, as injurious to the- American interefts and honour." Upon this para graph we are inclined not to place muck reliance. It is certain, however, that obtiacles have been thrown in the way of the ratification of the Treaty JOHN Jay, Efq. has been appointed Chief Juftice, in the room of OLIVER Lecswosm, Efq. who has religned ; and SAMUEL DEXTER, Secre tary of the Treafary, in the room of Ouv ER Woe cor, Efq. refigned. Other changes have alto taken place. DUEL —On Saturday a meeting took place be tween Lieutenant MINSTER, of the Marines, be longing to his Majefty's fhip MONARCH, and Lieu tenant CHRISTIAN LAscHEN, of the LATONA fri gate, at Q2eenborough, near Sheernefs, when the former was fhot dead through the head ; and the latter through the body, with very little hopes of his recovery. The Marine Officer lies dead at an inn in Queenborough for the Coroner's Inqueft, and the Lieutenant of the Navy is fent on board the SPANKER hofpital fhip, at Sheernefs. They were attended in this unfortunate bufinefs by a Marine Officer and a Surgeon's Mate, as feconds, both of whom have abfconded. The partiesfought at twelve paces diftance, and fired at the fame in- Rant. Both fell the firs Riot. _ _ . The caufe of this unfortunate affair originated a few months fence, when they both belonged to the LATONA frigate, at Elfineur. Some words paired between them when playing at cards, which occafioned a blow; but Captain SOTHERON, of that (hip, by his well timed authority prevented the matter going farther, and made them promife while in his ( hip they would be quiet, and threaten ed to bring them both to a Court Martial if they did not keep the peace. Since the arrival of the LATONA at the Nore, the Marine Officer effeaed a change with an Officer in the MONARCH, which was no fooner done than he received and accepted the Navy Lieutenant's challenge, which was at tended with the confevences already flared.
