Our Ministers are charged, each in his respective de partment, with the s:xecution of the present Decree. (Signed) NAPOLEON. MADRID, JAN. R. His Majesty, on the 3d of this month, issued the following ..1 4 .)ecree: The abominable attack committed by English ships of war in no 4, by the express order of that Government, when four frigates of the Royal fleet, which, sailing under the full assurance of peace, were unjustly surprised, attacked, and compelled to surrender, determined me to,break all connection with the British Cabinet, and to consider myself as at war with a nation which had so ini quitously violated the law of nations and of humanity. So atrocious an aggression was a sufficient motive for breaking all the bonds which unite one nation with another ; even.had I not considered what I owe to myelf, to the honour and glory of my crown, and to my beloved subjects. Two years of war have elapsed, and Great Britain has not moderated her pride, nor re nouncer' the unjust domination which she exercises over the seas • but, on the contrary, confoundin g at o n ce friends, enemies, and neutrals, she has manifested the fornral intention of treating them AU withahe same tyranny. From these considerations I determined in February last year,. in conformity to the wisemeaspres adopted by my intimate ally, the Emperor of the French and King of Italy, to declare, as I have declared, the British Isles in a state of blbckade, in order to see if that-measure would reduce the British Cabinet to abdicate its unjust supremacy over the seas, and to conclude a solid and durable peace. Far from that, the English Giareromenr has not only rejected the propositions which were mad* on the part of my intimate ally the Emperor of the French and King of Italy, whether directly or by the mediation of different powers friendly to England, but also having committed the most enormous of atrocities and injuries, by its scandalous attack on the city and harbour of Copenhagen, it has thrown off the mask ; and no person can any longer doubt that its insatiable ambition aspires to the exclusive commerce and navigation of the seas. Nothing can prove this more evidently than the measures which that Govern ment has just' adopted by its orders of the 14th of November last ; by which it not only declares the coast of France, Spain, and their allies, and all those occupi e d by th e arm i es o f Other power, in a state of blockade, but has even subjected tint ships of neutral powers, the friends, and even the allies of England, to the visits of English cruisers, and to be forcibly carried into an English port, where they are to be obliged to pay a tax on their cargoes, I the quantity of which is to be determined by the English Legisla ture. Authorised by a just right of reprisal to take the measures which shall appear to me proper to prevent the abuse which the British Cabinet makes of its power, with respect to neutral flags, and to see if we cannot force. it to renounce so unjust a tyranny, I have resolved to adopt, and do hereby require there shall be adopted, in all my States, the same measures which have been taken by my intimate Ally, the Emperor of the French and King of Italy, and which are of the following tenor. [Here follows a literal Copy of the becree of the 2 8th Decem ber, issued on this subject by his Majesty the Emperor and King.] Cascas 1r Frauce,-hrt. 19, end Moniterr, Jan. 90. ANCONA, JANUZIJIM e. We already perceive here the happy effects of the Imperial,Decree of the 17th of December, relative to the commerce with England. The greatest activity prevails in our port. M. Passano, a speculator in prt vateers, has lately fitted out two, which, notwith standing the absence of a part of their crews, set sail at the end of two days. Three large vessels from Messina, Trapani, and Syracuse, laden with salt, coffee, wool, dried raisins, &c. have been brought into Ancona. A fourth vessel, captured by the same pri vateers, is, it appears, detained by contrary winds in a port of Dalmatia. MOSCOW, NOVEMBER so. The negotiations with Persia have taken the most favourable turn. It is believed here, that a joint expedition against the English possessions in Hindos tan is in contemplation. Some French officers who have served in that quarter, under M. D. Bussy and other Generals, are expected at Astracan. FRANKFORT, JAN. 14. The wish to humble England animates all minds. The German politicians are particularly employed on the means of attacking her in the Indies, and striking her to thi heart. The alliance of Russia, France and Persia, appears to them adapted to accelerate this project. The public papers of Germany are there fore filled with plans relative to this expedition.- 1 Among those which have appeared, the following, published in the Journal of Manheim, has attracted *onsiderable notice. The author sdpposes that the expedition will be made not only with the consent of the King of Per sia, hut that that monarch will furnish the armies that shall pass thmugh his territory with every thing ne cessary for their subsistence. He chuses Astracan for the place of rendezvous of the French and Rus sian armies; and he adds, the Russian army will not only be sufficiently provided with artillery and am munition, but the Russian Generals will take care to have them is readiness fur the French, which, to faci litate its march, will take with it neither cannon, ammunition, nor horses. The Russian army will easily be collected at Astracan, but it will be neces sary to shorten and facilitate t he march of the French army. It has two points of departure, consequently two routes to follow, to arrive at Astracan, one from the Duchy of . Warsaw, and the other through Dal matia. By the former, the army will proceed in a right line to Zarozun, making a march of about 4601eagues (or 230 German miles). There it will embark on the Volga for Astracan, from which Lazuzum is dis tant about 100 leagues. Thus the French army set ting out from Warsaw will . have 560 leagues to go to reach Astracan, 100 of which will be by water—a march that will employ two months and a half or three months. By the second route, that is to say from Dalmatia, the French army will make a march of about 140 leagues, to reach the Danube at a place proper to embark. It will go down the Danube to its mouth on board vessels brought from the Black Sea. When arrived at the Black Sea, it will pursue its route, and passing by the Strait of the Crimea, will land at San garoc, on the Sea of Azou. From Sangaroc it will march to the Don, which it will pass near Piati Isbi anka, and proceed to the Zarozun, where it will em bark for Astracan,it is only about 140 leagues from Sangaroc to Zarozun—it appears, that by this route the French arm has only about '240 or '250 'leagues 1. to march by land, in going from Dalmatia to As tracan. The time which still be employed by the French in this march, may be estimated at about six weeks— that is to say, about half the time of the former. Hav ing joined at Astracan, the two Franco-Russian ar nues, with their artillery, ammunitton, horses, &c. will embark in vessels put in requisition on the Cas pian Sea, will traverse that sea, and arrive at Astra bat in Persia, after a passage of ten or twelve days. From Astrabat the two armies, furnished with provi sions by the King of Persia, will pursue their route through that kingdom for the Indus, where they will arrive, after a march of seven or eight weeks. It results from this plan, that a French army of 30,000 men, setting out from Dalmatia, and a Rus sian army (which may likewise be joined by a Per sian army) may arrive in the East Indies at the end of five months at latest. HAMBURGH, lAN. ii. They write from different cities in Russia, that the public opinion in that country is strongly expressed against the English, and that the system, which has been adopted by the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh is ge nerally approved. The orders of the Emperor, rela tive to English ships and property, have been execut ed every where with the utmost rigour, except at Riga, where the Vice-governor has acted with much feebleness—it is therefore said that the Government, very dissatisfied with his conduct, has dismissed him from his situation. Several letters from St. Petersburgh say, that as soon as the weather will permit, his Imperial High ness the Grand Duke Constantine will set out for France, where he proposes to remain some time. COPENHAGEN, JANUARY 2. A paper published here contains the following esti mate of the whole loss which Denmark has suffered by the English expedition. The number of ships of war carried away or destroyed is stated at seventy-six, carrying togethertwo thousand two hundred and forty six guns. The whole fleet consisted of 18 ships of the line, 16 frigates, 10 brigs, 26 gun-boats, 4 prawns, and 2 floating-batteries, besides other smaller vessels. It is estimated, that a ship of 98 guns costs 250,000 rix-dollars building ; one of 84, 212,000 ; one of 74, 156,000 ; a frigate of 44 guns, 9'7,000 ; and a ship of 24 guns, 50,000 ; and the smaller vessels in the same proportion : according to which calculation, we shall find results a total of 5,222,000 rix-dollars. It is likewise estimated that a ship of war, completely equipped, costs at the rate of 6,000 rix.dollars Danish currency. It is also observed, that the immense quan tity of marine stores and timber necessary for ship building, collected in the magazines of the Holm, and carried away or destroyed by the English, must be valued at thrice that sum :--and if to these be added the damage occasioned to Copenhagen and the country by the bombardment, fire, pillage, &c. ; and if we calculate also the loss sustained by the total stagnation of trade, the capture of the merchant ships, and the losses suffered by Denmark out of Europe, STAR OFFICE, TWO the whole loss ma, be fairly estimated at 67, rix-dollars. The ship of. the line Dithmarschen, English had mutilated, as also the skel eton o r, decker, which was left on the stock s , are not % down ; as a great quantity of Their timber made use of in the building of gun-boats. -71 VIENNA, DEC. 12.
