Dec., San. 3.—Arrived the William, HAN.. %YELL, from 'Amsterdam, bound to Philadelphia, and remains in the Downs with bia Majesty's Ships, as per last. A Vessel upon new and curious construction ha& been 'projected ,by. Lord STANIIOPE, and will in a few days undergo, the inspection of several Gentle- Men skilled in naval architecture. It some time since suggested itself to his Lordship's intelligent mind, that the damage resulting from a ship's ?els ' sing stays, as it is termed, might be obviated, and, Sit tact, that vessels might be navigated altogether without rudders affixed to the sterns, and inra bet ter .way than they are at present. His Lordshi about the investigation, and has produced a VeSSel .. that will at all times answer the helm , a nd whi l e there is a plank standing will be perfectly *manage able at sea. It is by a sort of lee-board affixed Ott each side the ship's waist, which his Lordship terms tins, and which are so managed as' to give the re-, qnired direalon. The vessel is - also built without a keel, lois' Lordship being of opinion that that part of ship prevents its velocity through the water, from the increased resistance it produces. There are many other alterations, but the principal arethose of taking away the rudder and keel, hitherto considered, the .most essential requisites in the construction of welt- eels. An experiment upon this new vessel will be made in the Serpentine River in a vary few days. • It has been stated, in accounts brought frOm the Mediterranean, that the crew of the American shin Eliza Aim mutinied against the Captain. They first tied his mate to a gun on the quarter-deck, and used _him most cruelly.• They pricked him with the cook's tormentors, beat him over the ribs with staves, in a inoit shocking manner, and left him for dead. They also treated the supercargo in the Most cruel man ner. They then attacked the master, whom th e y struck a r dreadful blow. His wife, with an infant in ~her arms, followed him ), heiell back, and she caught himi crying, You have murdered my hus .band The'ruffians aniwered, 'We will de for you, by and bye.' The wife gave ber husband soma liquor to drink, and he somewhat recovered from the o stunning'blow he received. When he recovered a littl e more be sallied forth with pistols. and. Sabre to disarm the villains. The mate .and supercargo thad,by this time recovered sufficiently to aid, him, to his courageous attempt. They knew they :had' - to Contend with cowards at heart, and, by stratagem • and deteitnined bravery, they succeeded in driving the mutineers forward, after wounding them, except the two ringleaders.—The Niger Frigate, Capt. Hit.- LYsit, , after fell' in with the ship off Cadiz, in a gale of wind, boarded her, and then took the ringleaders out. The master was then lying dtgerouitly„ill.. The Niger than sent an Officer and four men on. board to navigate her to Gibraltai,, wliere the - mutineers will be brought ro trial. The two ringleaders are. English born ; their names are, John Cross, alias Daniel drosswright, and Robert Warrington, , The former has since given himself up as a deserter from his ~ M ajesty's Ship Waoier.— The Ship had a great . many dollars on board, With . otEeilfeasure, of which they - intended ta 'plunder her. ZJE4I.4,A'D. The Danes, led by the Duke of Wiiti7zmntiatht, and encoiiraged by their Sovereign, invaded Hol vein, and after taking some' inconsiderable - places, invested Toriningen, while the Russians, Poles, and Saxons, entered Livonia and Ingria. The moment Cuzsmes was informed of the invasion of Holstein, Me resolved to carry war into the kingdom of Den mark. He accordingly left his, capital never more to return thither, and embarked with - his troops at. Calstirona, hav:ng appointed an Extraordinary Coun cil, chosen from the Senate, to regulate the atfairs during his absence. The Swedish Fleet was joined .at the mouth of the Sound by a combined Squa.; drop of English and Dutch Men of War, _which Wtra.rnm, both as King of England and Stadt holder. of Holland, had sent to the assistance of his Ally. The Danish Fleet,.unable to face the _Enemy, re tired under the guns of Copenhagen, which was bombarded, and the King of DENMARK, who had failed,in his attempt upon Tanningen, was himself coped up in Holstein, by some Swedish frigates' cruizing on that coast. _ _ In this critical season, the enterprising spirit of the young King of SwEngsr suggested to him the means of finishing the war at a blow. He :proposed' tb besiege Copenhagen by land, while the Combined Fleet blockaded. it up by sea.. The idea was admired by all his Generals, and the necessary preparations were made for a descent. The King himself; eager to reach the shore, leaped into the sea, sword in hand, where the water rose above his middle. His example was followed by all his Officers and Soldiers, who quickly put to flight the troops that attempted to oppose the debarkation. CusnLas, who had never before been present at a general discharge of muskets, loaded with ball, asked a British Officer Who Stood near him, what occasioned that whistling Which he heard ? Being . inforrned that it was the -.viand of the bullets, the King exclairited" This 'shall henceforth be my music !" Tlie..citizeris of Copenhagen, filled with conster nation, sent a Deputation to CRADLES,, beSeCtelilg ..him not to bombard the town. He on horseback eceived the Deputies at the head 01 bts reg:merrt of guafds ; they (ell on their knees before him, and he granted their requesti 'on *their agreeing to pay him fnitr hundred thousand rix dollars.. In the- mean time the Kiug Of DENMARK was in the most peril out,situation, pri.tsSed by laud on one side, and eon fined by sea on the other. The SWedes were in the hear; of his dominions, and his capital, and *his fleet were both ready to fall into their bands. He could derive' no hopes but from negociation . and Submis sion. The King of ENGLAND offered his mediation; the French Ambassador also ititerpoSe.d,his good offices, and .a Treaty, , highly honourable to CHARLES, Was Concluded at Trevenoahl, bet Ween Denmark, Sweden, and Holitein, to the exclusion of Russia and Polttnd.: - • The follOiviug are Extracts from private Letters : tits Majesty'S.Ship oft Copenhagen, Aug. lg. pur, outworks, are already within 1* mile of this city. We required them to give up their fleet to us during the war, which they refused; there fore, we shall most likely take the place by storm ; if, so many thousand lives will be lost. All .the country, with the standing corn, has been' desolat ed,. We took them so much , by snrprise,.. that the ladies had not even ,time to take away their cloaths.' , Yarmouth Roads, Scpt..A. " I sailed from, Copenhagen on Sunday, the 23d of August, on which day a very sharp tirin& com menced between our .Bomb' Ships and the Crown Battery, floating batteries, ~and gun-boats, Our troops • had a battery erected- within reach of the town of:Copenhagen, which kept up a very sharp fire, until 3' o'clock P. M. at which time we were - timed round Eisiticur, being becalmed. lam un able to say how long it continued, but am tearful our Bomb Ships must have received considerable da mage, as. we could see the shot strike theta in thiery direction ; and it being quite calm, they could not get out of yeach. Some time after the. Ming began, a great many beats were sent in by the ships to as against the Crown ,Battery: the rocket vessels also were towed .but none of the larger Ships aged. ' Thirty thiazatid TroCips are "nailed, and are so rims ed that it is impossible tot 'the Danes to recerve : any supplies ; and understOod that they 'had only ten days provisions at the time we sailed. The king of Sivarisx was expeaed at Copenhagen in a frigate, on the day I sailed. " Last week, when the West India Fleet lay in Torbay, a small French privateer, painted like. a yacht, lurked n and remained among them, : un:.; discovered; she alsu sailed with them, and when off the Lizard, made free to capture three of them, Which she sent off. Shortly after, she fell in with the Channel Fleet; *Won being discovered, a' sig. nal was made for the-Piantagenak a fast-sailing 74, to chsce in the N.E. and after a few hours the Plan • tageriet came .up and captured her. < She had on hoard a 5 lusty fellows, who might have'done much more mischief. The Was, Ronsars, front Liverpool, bound to jairsaica, is captured, and carried into Guacialoupe, With two or three other Ships. - The next homeward bound Jamaica Fleet left the Island the latter .end of July, and are ent act! in the course of three weeks.: Lord Roastrr SPECIIK, it seems, does not hold the appointment of Surveyor of the Woods and Fo rests in conjunction with Lord .GLENBEav ie. The dismissidn of the latter from the . post in question, was anaa thai by no means plated the charazatr of the late Administration in a point of view honour able to their liberality. Our cruizers stop all vessels fund to the Danish , ports. A Dutch Captain returned to the River yes = terday, in consequence Of his having been prevented from entering Tonningeh. Aceounti have been teceiVed that the . French Go vernment. has laid an embargo on all Danish. Ships,' as well as Portuguese, in the French ports. The embargo On the Danei is for the 'purse of prevent ing their capture by our , cruizers. vessel arrived from Rotterdam yesterday, the Captain of which states, that all vessels which now sail for Holland, must expea to undergo a most rigid examination, the Dutch Government being compelled to execute strialy all 130NAPAIITE'S .absurd .decrees respelling the intercourse. with this country. MANsioN-Flotisz.--Mr. Nalder yesterday tilde complaint to the LORD IVlAvoa against one pf the inferior Police Officers, for 'extortion, which he stated as Lao Shocking or tnischievous to be passed over or ''sutered with impunity. The extortion' 'charged iiras,. that on Wednesday a vefy poor man having been charged and taken ue foraelling or car rying small bundles of wood In his little cart, against . the settled regulations of the City, thd'O& cer when direaed to retire with the yob'. Mani for the purpose ofsettling the slender•compensation in tended by• the Court, which wav:.one shilling only (the:. prisoner having declared hb had no more, in presetice of the Lord Mayor), had insisted on'the sum oftwO shilling 4 and sixpence) which the Pri soner was only able to procure by weaniofselling his little remaining bundles ' on which occasion the ava ricious O ffi cer attended the Prisoner. The matter''having_ Cottle to Mr. Nalder's' ears, he, with great iodignation, pfeferred the elmege, at which all the Chief Officers of the Court appeared incensed; and it was with much difficulty, atter making ample corn pensation to the party injured, that the OffiCer was permitted to hold 'his situation any longer. This determination excited a very pleasingfeeliug in't he audience. ‘VICKPOCKETS t 9 d 4 of the exPeeled - fruits of . Bartholomew FaliVere.anticipated on Wednesday evening, in the crowd, in the streets, where two - Prisoners, brought up yesterday morning,, were taken by different Offi cers; the one for' an attempt to pick. the pocket of a Mr. Nash, near Leadenhall•-street ; and the other fol. - n*l=lly picking the pocket of a Mr. Holnies, of Tower-hill, cheesenionger, of his pocket-book, at the end of Lombard-street._ _ _ _ .--- Theformer, when called upon for his defence, stated filmsef to . hels honest 'a charaaer any in Court, and an honsekeeper in the outlets of the City, in business; and entreated the Loan MAirthes humanity not to put'hiui on his examination until to-morrow, when his friends, would appear, 'and tiilly satisfy the Court that the. satteMpt charged avainst him was morally'impossible to'hebeneved of a min of his charatier. furthei' added, With _ tears, being a decent-looking min , that if &cll . - a Mention were to be made of his name in such a way, it: would destroy, not only his business with Ms connexions, but likewise all the happiness of 'his life. • The LORD MAYOR instantly yielded to his re quest, ,and demanded not his name on this occasbn: The latter , whose name is John Barker,ood charged with picking the pocket of a Mr. g oltneS, of a pocket book, containing a bill of exchange for 151. and a memoranduth paper, which, with the `pocket-book, Mr. Holmes accurately described when interrogated by' the LOltD MAYOR. 'There . having been two accomplices along with the Prisoner at the time, the Officer followed all the three upon suspi cion, for some distance, in the crowded streets, un til lie perceived the Prisoner's hand taking out the pocket-book, and quickly seized 'him ; a scuffle en. stied, during which the Prisoner pulled out of his pocket an officer's staff, alledgiug that . he was one of the Union Hall *Aim Officer's, and, at the same time, be drbpped the pocket-book over an iron grate viay, in hopes it would fall through the grating, but it did not, and the Officer picked it' up instantly, without letting the Prisoner out of his hands, while the two accomplices . rriade their escape. The Prisoner, in his defence, admitted he was not an Officer of Police, and 'stated that he had re ceived the staff and poCket-boOk a little before, from one of the accomplices, whose name was Griffiths. He was fully committed for trial, and the Prose cutor bound over to prosecute at the next Sessions. GUILDRA LL..---Yesterday, Mr. Pritchard, of the Old Bailey, brush-maker,' appeared to prosecute one John,4Vennnun, his servant; who, with eight Work men more, are daily employed b e y him. • He stated, that on missing some of his goods, he caused the ,Prisoner's room to be searched, where goods were found, which the Prisoner admitted,. an the search, to be partly his "master's, and partly other people's. • bi'consideration of his youth, it was suggested by the Sitting 'Magistrate to MS'. Pritchard, whether it would not satisfy him 'to have the Prisoner sent to serve his Majesty on board the fleet 1 .---The .Prosecu . for, in reply, stated, thatite disavoWed any vindiaive motive; but that, having eight men more in his ser - Vice, 'he feared. the example of this man's escaping with impunity. On which the Magistrate (Sir MAT WHEW 131.03LA/4) observed, that the objedion was .a solid one, and that, of course, it must rest with the Prosecutor's's own mind sOlety. Mr. Pritchard, however, with great lirtmanity,'7offered to let the Prisoner go on board the' Fleet, provided he was approved of and received there; to wh!ch there was an objethon or doubt, on ..the ground of the Pri soner's being a Volunteer. The goods were ordered to be kept, for the purpose of carrying on the pro secution in case the Prisoner should not be deemed fit for the naval service, or should he found to escape or return. HAT ON-GARDEN.HYesterday Bridget Erich: and ILlary Moore were finally examined, being charged with • stealing in the shoe of Mr. Davies, linen • dripir, in Great Warner -street, Coldbath-fields, a piece of linen and a piece of muslin, whiCh ,were found upon their persons.
