This obvious and .iiesple knee agtinst a frozen passage, will, no doubt, have *centred to Ministers ; but it could be a vatisfaldion to the public, to know that so important an advantage can to easily be obtained ; and if any of your Readers eon give any information, it will oblige • MANY coNsTANr READERS.- The above article is copied verkifint from a Mini sterial print of Monday morning. Some of the moat important plans of Bonaparte have been originally communicated in vague and doubtful hints of this kind; and it struck me, an reading it, that the above article was intended for a like purpose. I hope, therefore, that Government do not seriously intend to evaeuatc Zealand, as tt.e accounts of yesterday, as well foreign as domestic, would lead the Public to apprehend. Upon this prrsump'ion, I have turned the subjeCt anxicusly in my mind, and beg leave to ottomit to you such im provements as have suesooted themselves on this head. I like very much the plan of " keeping a squadron of galleys or other vessels in constant motion up and down the channel that divides Zealand from Hol stein, to keep the passage open, which it is wed known may be effected by constant motion." The principle is fairly laid down, that water never can free ze if kept in perpeotal motion. b communi cate, however, perpetual motion to the nao ;use seas that divide Zealand from Holstein, by galleys, or other vessels, it must be obvious, that th-re must be a string of them, as cies" as a string of cat sieges coming from a popular play at Di ury-Lam, on a night of Mrs. Jordan's Fedora-lance ; for the motion communicated to the water by a vessel in its pas sage, does not extend very far ; and if they did nit follow each ether in quick saceessi , ,n, I fear the operation of an intense frost, in a single night. might make a very serious impressi n upon the Great, as well as the Little Belt. To phew, any danger their to be apprehended from any want of motion, I would recommend, that the vessels em ployed upon the set vice be Newcastle or Blythe. or indeed any other colliers, and that they should be fall frieghred. It might be also advisable to 41, tain in the Baltic a great proportion of the trans ports, lades, tram the arsenals of Copenhagen, with such naval stores as pitch, tar, hemp, timber, and other conbustible materials. Thus provided. when the frost set in, I would erder all the vessels upon a circunoansbient cruise,and, at the same time,aet their cargoes on fire ; for, be assured, Mr. Editor, that heat is as great an antidote to ice as mita n. Zea land, thus encircled with !LIMPS, would, on a dark io.;ht, present a most ina.ot.ticeitt and sciatic atp peArance ; wh.le the rex - name.: sate and secure tram French attaek, is t:.e mitre, like t.) many Salama-den, to the mo:o s.f file. The yes eels the r flatniag course, would look like so many corn. t. sit.a toots toe heavens, and revolving round that favourite Lle. I here is an ther xise diem, which mioht be used, either aingly, or in aid of this plan —All the boars emoloyed upon the Northern WI ale Fishery might he instruaed not to cut ep the whales, which they should take, tot biub her, but to proceed with them entire to the Bel. tie. You have probably read an account of several recent experiments at Cheltenham, in which it ap peered. that some dead carp, rescued from the cook and the frying pan, having some powder, prepared by a celebrated military gentleman, put into their mouths, immediately revived, and being put in a pond. instantly skipped and plunged about, as mer rily as in the mistiest day of their lives. Now, Sir, 1 would lay these dead whales at the entrance of the Great and Little Bilts,and having put some of this famous powder into their mouths, the moment they came to life, I would start etena forward ; and I would also have vessels with harpooners stationed at the other ends of those streights, to torn the whales, and drive them back again. The motion of these huge masses, tumbling and tossirg about, would be one hundred times more violent than that of galleys and transports, and cionsequently one hundred times more effecual in preventing the congealation of the sea. To render the motion as furious as possible, the whales might be hunted backwards and for wards by some light vessels manned with har pooners, to wound and irritate them ; a pratlice per fealy safe ; for should any of the whales be acci dentally killed by caressive fatigue or wounds, it will be easy to restore him to life with a little of the Cheltenham powder. The only °billion whi..h I see to this plan is, the difficulty of procur ing the necessary supply of whales in time ; bat, considesing the proximity of Iceland and Green• land, the great scenes of the whale fishes iv. to the Baltic, I think that übjeftion would not be decisive.
