The isme privateer took an English ship, bound from Petersburgh, to the same place, laden with tallow, pot-ash, and linseed ; but an English cutter heaving in sight, the privateer ran for shelter into the road of Brouvershacen, but struck aground at the entrance of the road, and a storm coming on she was dashed to pieces.

THE BRITISH PRE S • LON DQ N, MONDAY, Dactem nu 7. The Russian Declaration ag.tiost this country has been followed up by an Embargo upon all the sltiti,h shipping in the Russian ports. Intelligence to this ea'-ft has been commo / icated in a letter from Riga, dated the t2th o 1 Novrinber, from which the following is an meat We have only time to say, that yesterday an corder came from St. Petersburgh, that all merchant ships, of whatever nation, that should not sail in five days, Nould nut be permitted to depart. Both Captains Persson and SA L mon would not wait for more, and are now cleared out!' The letter alluded to, was brought to Dundee, by the Nymph, arrived there on the Ist instant. Shp sailed, in . consequence of the order, from Riga, on the lith .ftons the Sound, with con voy, on the 23d; and parted same day in a gale of wind in the Cattegat. The fleet from which the Xvisepb parted, consisted of the following ships:— Baltic, LAIRD, from St. Petersburgh, with five or six more Dundee vesuls ; CA VELL, from St. Petersburgh to London; Nputpi, RAITT ; Nor. folk, Cu DELL; Antelope, JACK; MILLER, Hope, —; and Venture, MARTIN. The It PATRICK, was taken by the Danea, off the Wan Island, the 22d ult. We have been favoured with a list of Captains detained at Koningsbe'rg, in Norway. James Ogilvie, of the Olive Branch. of Kincardine; Robert Moor, Hope, of Ayr; Ilugh M'Evren, Friend, ditto; 'Wil liam Campbel, John and Robert, of Aberdeen ; John John stem, Crown, of Bridlington; John Wrighton, Isabelle, of Nowbrargb ; John Bruen, Mcmtgomery, of brio.; Wi'diain Stafford, Martha, South Shield:; William Stalker, Elisa►eth, of Crail ; B.

The fleet fur London, Hull, and Leith, sailed from the Sound on the 20th ult. and, on the ?Act, about thirty sail put into Gottenburgh. Oa the 24th, about fifty sail more were seen going into Gotteaburgh. Acceunts have been receive.' from Madeira. dated the 4th last, announcing that every exertion was making there by the new Governor to place the island in a respedable state of defence, which he found extremely dificul:. from the ruinous state of the works. At the date of these advices, it was apprehended by the Government, that an English squadron would soon arrive to attack the island. On the other band, it war earnestly hoped, by the people at large, that a British force would make its appearance, for to this nation only they looked for security and protellion. At the time, no doubt, that the Portuguese packet sailed with the new Go -1 vernor from Lisbon, it was the intention of the Go vernment to attempt a reconciliation with France. by laying an embargo upon British vessels, and seizing their property ; but since it has appeared that Boost ease will not relax from his determina tion* that the Patwcc lt.ocr.v loses his throne," there is hardly a doubt that he will unite with the people in placing Madeira in the hands of F.agland. —Whatever may be the conduCt of the Portuguese Government, in the present critical conjuncture of affairs, it is probable Sir Joule Moose, with a con siderable military force. has reached the Tagus. Orders. we understand, were sent to this General, that on the arrival of the troops from Alexandria. he shoold proceed wish owe half of the &iti.h army in Sicily to Gibraltar, where he would receive far ther instruaions. Now, as that garrison stands i■ aced of no reinforcements, it is inferred that he has been called from the Mediterranean, to protedl the Government of Portugal, an enterprise, we fear, now too late. Two Gottenburgh Mails arrived on Saturday, with Letters and Papers from Gottcnburgh, to the 24th, and Copenhagen to the 18th last; from Ma drid to tie 23d ,of Ofloher, and from Thew to the eget. The intelligence from the North of V.nrope affords fresh pooh of the hatred and hos tility of the Danes towards this country. The Eng lish Commissioners, who were left to liquidnte the debts eentraeted by our Expedition, have been or dered away from Copenhagen. This is carrying hostility to a whimsical length indeed. The refusal of the Caows Patrice to ratify the C,oaveation, by which oar forces obliged themselves to evacuate Zea land, admitted of some justification, under all the d :urns:at:lces of the CAM Sufficient time had not then elapsed for the resentment of the Danes to cool. i.e that eatuse cannot be pleaded now; and th:rogh the State, like a Corpo , atina, migl,t have a head, but no heart, and refused to ratify the Con vention, yet some compassion was due to the dis- tressed individuals who had dales' upon the British Government ; and it is a cruel exercise of - power, to prevent such persons from receiving the sums due to them by an enemy generous enough to pay them. The Swedish Consul at Copenhagen has been arrested upon a charge of carrying on a correspondence with an English Captain ; and the King of Swiss. has ordered the Danish Consul at Malmoe to be arrested in retaliation. This spirited coodtta of that gallant Prince is worthy of his charader. It is greatly to be regretted, indeed, fur the sake of Europe, that his means are not commensurate with his inclination. The boldness evinced upon the m erit occasion is the more surprising, as the King of SwEnzrecould not be ignorant of the temper and disposition of Russia. It was reported at Gotten burgh, on the 23d, that an Embargo was laid upon English vessels in the Russian ports, and that Rus sia had declared war against England. The accounts from Madrid state, that the French troops, which are marching into Portugal, will oc cupy the North, and the Spaniards the South, of that kingdom. An army of 30,000 will be assem bled at Badajoz, at which place the French and Spanish Ambassadors, who withdrew from Lisbon, remained on the 76 Odotetr. The negotiations between them and the Court of Lisbon had not been broken off at that date. The convention, settling all differences between France and Austria, was concluded at Font:tintsleast, on the 13th OCtober. The French troops that had been stationed in Istti s and Venice, have since brokea up, and are proceeding by forced marches to Dal matia; and the garrison of Braunav, and other French troops in the Austrian territory, have re ceived orders to return to France. Among other proofs of the violent enmity of the Danes towards England, the old Ordinance, by which all foreign privateers are prohibited to carry prises into the Danish ports, has been repealed, with regard to those taken from the English. The sqradron under sailing orders at Ports mouth dropped down on Saturday to St. Helen's. A very gallant exploit bas been performed by Captain Geosos HARRIS. of the Daracouto sloop. This vessel had lately charge of a convoy in the North Sea, when a large privateer, of greatly supe rior force, attempted to cut off one of the ships.— The Boroosette instantly made sail, and Capt. H• a aas ordered the Master to run astir to the pri vateer. This order being obeyed, the Barocco,: poured a broadside into the privateer, which was so admirably dire led, the enemy went to the bottom. Tit Kentish Chronicle ' of Friday, contains the fol lowing paragraph :—•• We hear, from high authori ty, that BoWAIAars has made overtures ut Peace to this country ; and if confidence can be placed in his professions, a communication will soon be opened between the two Governments, for the attainment of this important objet." Admiral Sir CH•a LES COTTON set out from his seat in Cambridgeshire, on Thursday moinirg, in consequence of an Express. ordering his immediate attendance at the Admiralty.

The Russian frigate, detained at Portsmouth, has specie on board to the amount of 300,0001. Nothing further has occurred in regard to Por tugal. It is generally understood, that there are at present twelve British sail of the line in the Tagus, and if such be the fad, we may rest satisfied as to the fate of the Portuguese navy. We are, however, informed by persons conversant with the navigation of the Tagus, the works which command it, &c. that if the entrance of our Beet be opposed, it will be madneu to attempt it without troops. A report was ourcut, on Saturday, that Sir Sumer SPITS bad attacked the Russian squadron in the Tagus, aad captured four of their ships.— The rumour Imbed the Admiralty, but was wholly discredited there.
