We are happy to find that the appeal made to them by their Sovereign was not made in vain, and that they have voted the necessary Supplies to maintain their own independnce, and to voted them from the curse of French protection.

A private Letter from Berlin, dated the 234 ult. stato, that the Messenger who carried to,Paris the )e«er of his PabristAs MAI PITY demanding the liberation of Sir G.

This Letter reached Berlin on the t Bth ult. when the . Court, with a promptitude which manifested its triumph, communicated the purport to the British and Russian Ministers, and circulated 'it throughout the city. The sensation thus produced eves very great, as the inhabitants had loodlY ex. • c rewe d their indignation at the seizure nf Sir G. it u ssitnts. A short time after another Messenger arrived from Paris with dispatches, said to be of .great fmportance, but nothing of their contents had transpired. .A. Letter from Harnburgh, dated the 2.3 d Nov. says, " The demolition of the Inner Fortifications of this City proceeds with increased adivity, and, the setting in of the frost, the labourers em., ployed at the City's expense have been nearly doubled, with a view that, should the French seize the place, they may not have any local assistance towards retaining it.

WILLIAM COY. DON, AN OFFICER OF HIS MAJESTY'ssHIP RUM• NEVI To HIS BROTHER : Iris Afakto's Ship Bask, (jibe Text/. Nov. 24. " DEAR BROTHER, EcOn Sunday last we left Yarmouth to join Ad. miral Russo L, Monday morning we run on shore on the South Haack, off the New peep, near the Texel. We lay without assistance; and on Tues. day, as there was no doubt the Ship tnust he totally lost, ,we made several Jake of the studding.sail, booms, &c. and at eleven o'clock P. M. I left the Ship on one of them, accompanied by twelve of :our men. At sunset I saw a Dutch Cutter taking the peQple from the rafts ; but it coming dark, we were drove out to sea, and lost sight of them ; but thank. God, about ten at night, we had the good fortune to fall in with the. Alert Cutter, who took us up, or we must have perished, as it blew fresh, and the sea ran very high. The greatest part of our crew are in Holland. The Boats upset almost mediateiy after they were hoisted out, and several men were lost, I am at present so weak that I cannot give you a more full account of the deplorable state we were in." IXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER WHO WAS ON BOARD MAJESTY'S pull' YENS. RABLI, ON THE NIGHT OF SATURDAY, NOV. 24, WHIN 8118 WAS LOST IN TOAlitsY. " Without referring, for obvious reasons, just, at this moment, to the circumstances that occasioned the Unfortunate Inscof the , Verierable, I will, as fares I am able, give you some account of our melancholy situation from the time she struck till we left her, w i t h t h e loss of every thing but our honour and our lives. It was about five ri 4 .clock P. M. on Saturday, the wind Wowing very fresh, and the evening-very dark andfoggy, that she touched on a ridge of rocks, but at what part of the bay could not, at first, be exa4ily aseertained, Every utertion,was instantly made to get her off, bUt to no purpose. The wea. the: rather clearing, we soon perceived the danger of our situation. It was truly terrible, and scarcely left us the most distant prospeft of life. Our brave and worthy Captain, however, with the s most daunted fortitude I ever beheld (and I have been in many .dangers, and with many men), still continued to animate the Crew to hope and tutther perseve. ranee. This he did with as much collettedness and self. Command as if conducting the ordinary duty of the Ship ; never in my life did I:witness such utter disregard to death and danger. Not the least alte. ration took place in his looks, wiirds, 'or manner, from the moment she streak, until, at our joint and earnest' impopuhity, after *all the Crew were safe, he left the Sltip. Every thing was done tha t the most able andexperieeed seaman could suggest, but ;111 w a s i n va ii t , Signal, of distress' were now itotdc, and most fortunately readied the intleti‘ertx• and Go. heal, which immeOtately stood back into'the F iv, and"sent their' Boats to our' assiltanee. All the - it:it of the Fleet were b,,cyqn4 the hearing of our guns; and she people ashore did not attempt to give us any kind of help. " Having tried every thing in vain for . the safety of the Ship,we now turned our thoughts to the lives of the Crew, and as they could be of no further use, they were told' to provide for their own safety on Ward the Boats of thebtpitueux and Goliath, tha t had by this time approached the Shlp,the Captain and all the Officers having declared their intention to remain on board till all the men were saki) , out. This was about 9 o'clbclf, the Ship being bilged against the rocks, the mails cut away, and the waves breaking over us at every roll. I now gave over all thoughts of saving myself, as, I believe, did every Officer in the Ship. As the Boats approached the Ship, the at. tempt became more and more dangerous every time, the night still continuing dark and foggy, with gusts of wind and drivelling sleet, that seemed to freshen every hour. In this forlorn and dismal state the Officers continued on the outside of the Ship (for she was nearly on her beam ends), encouraging the men, and affording every possible assistance for their escape on board the boats,which exerted themselves nn this occasion with great skill and intrepidity. The Ship was now a mere wreck beating against the rocks, and with every wave expeded to go to pieces, yet all this while we were so near the shore as to be able to converse witl# the people whom the report of our guns had brought down to the rocks. With some difficulty we at last contrived to fling a line to them, which being made fast, ,some of the crew attempted to haul themselves ashore by it. .The surf, however, broke so tremendously between us and the land, (though I do not believe we were 2o yards from it,) that all the poor fellows who made this attempt were either drowned or dashed to pieces against the rucks. It was now past five o'clock on Sunday•morning, the. weather still getting worse, and all the Grew out but a few. drunken wretches who lay senseleO on the deck, and about 17 noble souls, who declared they would die with their Offi cers; a dreadful sea breaking over us, the fore part bf the Ship entirely under water, and the rest ex. peeled to go to pieces every minute; the wind still freshening, and it being probable that the boats could no longer be able to approach the Ship, and conscious that our remaining on board any longer could be of no possible use: in this state, the Offi cers persuaded their good and still undaunted Cap. tain to think of saving his life, and with it their own, as they had resolved one and all to share his fate. After some time he consented, on condition that the Officers should go first. This point being concluded, the hope of life, long dismissed from our minds, began to revive, when another difficulty arose that seemed to cast it further back than ever which of the Officers was to lead the way ? the ex. tindion cif this new-reviving hope was indeed dreadful, and the pause had nearly been fatal to us all. At length one of the junior Lieutenants,long known to the crew, and as brave a man as ever troth the ouarter.deck, agreed to lead, the rest solemnly promising to follow. One after another we now de, scended from over the stern (the only part of the Ship above water), by single ropes, cold, beounibed, and wet through, anti in this condition gained the boats, themselves in perilous attendance underneath. In this manner was It that we left the poor old FeneraLli; and about six o'clock reached the lemeux, where, it is needless to say, we were t re at ed with every attention and kindness that one Ship's Officers could slim to another in distress. When the morning broke, we perceived the Ship had gone to pieces, and that if we had staid aboard all of us by this time must have perished. On the beach the people with whom we had been convert. ing from the rocks, were plundering every article of the wreck as it floated ashore." LEITH, Nov. 29.--Tuesday arrived in Leith Roads, from St. Petersburg!), the Fame, of Ailoa, JAMIES MIFAALANP master, which Vessel sailed with a Fleet under convoy of the Charles Armed Brig.
