The Kiwn of PRUSSIA ) in the midst of his Court, is stated to have said, 41 , England has - reached its extremity : (6mbli to mesure)—ic is ' tinic,to,pur an, end to the comedy: the English have manifested their perfidy, and the moment is at length come for - reducing them to reason."— It is hardly necessary to remark how little pro. liability - thre• is 'that the 'KI NG Of PRUSSIA should have held such impolitic and unjust lan.' . . . , • (-,uage. Nor is' it more necessary to state that, shOUld even have made Use Of it, it would in no degree afrett the nature of:our rights nor, our, means of maintaining them. It is confirmed, that this Monarch is himself aboUt to repair to , Wesqhafia,, in order to review both the .Troops which are there, and the ,fourteen 'Battalions and four Regiments of Cavalry which ;are already on their march to join them. 'lt is not difficult to'pre. sums, or at least to suspca, what the destination of these Troops iS, and what is the object of His PRUSSIAN MAIESTY'S journey ; but it is need less to anticipate what may eventually happen. The Civil Code, in the formation of which the ablest Lawyers in Prance have for several moaths been entplorrd, .has been presented to the Chief Consul, who has signified his approbation of it:. Seniible, however, that a man who has Torted so completely with Political Laws would not he the most fit to decide upon the excellence of Civil Laws, he has referred the Code to the examination of the Tribunal de Cessation, whence it will no doubt be sent to the Legislative Body. An Article from Vienna of the .17th ult. states, that the Peace had been proclaimed in that Capi tal by order of the Etktp E ROR ; and a Strasbargh 'Article of the 27th says, that :he EMPEROR had ratified the Treaty, and had transmitted it of ficially to the Diet at Palislon. We do not find any official notification of this event in the Paris lk Alpert. , • • ' Three Hambuigh Mails became due yesterday', none of which had arrived when this Paper was put to Press.

A Letter, of 'which the following is an Ex_ tra&, has been received by the Right Hon. Henry Dendas, one of His Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, from Lieutenant_Colonel Fraser, ComMatidaniof the Garrison of Goree, on the Coast of Africa, dated off Senegal, sth January, 1801. On the 3d instant, the weather being very fa vourable and the surf unusually low, it was de tetmined by Sir Charles Hamilton and myself, to attack. an Armed Brig and Schooner laying at anchor in the River. • The party destined forthis service, consisting of 'fifty-five Volunteerp from the Melpomene, under the command of Lieutenant Dick, five from the crew of the Transport, and thirty-six, -com manded by 'Lieutenant Christie, from the African Corps, left the Frigate at half past , nine , o'clock in five boats, and,having passed the Bat without accident, and- the Batteries at the Point without being discovered, arrived at a quarter before ele ven o'clock - within a few yards of the Brig, when the Enemy, •commenced a very heavy fire, through which our people boarded,: and, alter a-- severe contest, which lasted twenty minutes, carried the vessel. It appears she was called the Senegal, com manded by M. Renou, mounted eighteen guns, with about sixty men, eighteen of whom are pri_ soners. Two of the best boats having been destroyed by the Enemy's shot, Lieutenant Dick judged it better to turn the guns of the Brig ❑pon the Schooner, than to attempt boarding her, and kept up a well-direaed tire for some time ; but she was so well proteeted by the Batteries, on shore, and by small arms from the Southern .Bank, that he - found- it_necessary to desist ; and cutting the - Brig's cable, made sail, with her down the River. After two hours possession, she unfortunately grounded, and he was obliged to . relinquish his prize, after rendering her unfit for further ser vice. . The retreat 'was conducted with the greatest order,' and the whole . of the prisoners and wound eckbrought- .off, notwithstanding_Jhe: surf upon the Bar, and under a fireof grape and small -arms from the.adjoining Batteries. I enclose' a return of the. killed and wounded,* and have to regret tlr loss of two very gallant Officers, Lieufenant Paltncr of the Navy, and Vyvian ,cf,the,,Marincs. *See Captain lianiiiton's Later.

Notwithstanding thii . nnfortunate accident, the Brig was - carried, aftei an obsti nate defence of twenty minutes; but which gave the Schooner time to cut her cable: Lieutenant Dick finding that the loss of his two best-beats, and many of his best menu added to a : constant lire from the Schooner and two potteries,: must have rendered any farther attempt abortive, he judged it' right io make every attempt -to get her over the. Bar ; but the ebb tide haying made, and being totally unacquainted with• the na vigation of the River, She got a-ground_; and seeing it impossible ever to get, ter otr,-anCi,. being }Wiled by every shot 'from the Point Bat. t2ry, he found it absolutely necessary to retreat; and, under. the many: obstacles be .had to sure mount across a trcine.ndous'suif, -under a heavy fire/ofgrape aid.musketry, excites. my admire., tion -even more, if possibly; than the—gallant manner in which the Brig. was carried; I. there. fore feel it my duty to recommend 'Lieut.
