There ne'ver *existed in a nation a sentiment more universal than that which, to their honour, animates the British People,,and renders thim loud in the expreSsion of abhorrence at the idea of a league of friendship and amity with the vile and bloody Despot of France.

La Trave is also to be docked, and fitted for the like purpose. A British naval force, consisting of the Herald, of '26 guns, 'Forester; 22, Contest, 18, with a tender, arrived at New Orleans in December, and captured most of the coasting vessels. The American frigates President and Constitu tion, Enterprize and Rattlesnake 'sloops of war, are certaintly at sea.'

Dispatch of Business in consequence of the E nz -bargo in America.—BOSTON, Dc,c. 21, 1813 :-- cr About 30 neutral vessels sailed from hence 'on Sund'iy ; most of which were laden, and fitted for sea, since Friday." It •will be recollected, that the Embargo Law passed on the 17th of December. It reported that Lord 'WELLINGTON is deter-' mined to destroy the small craft on the Adour, by means of which Bayonne, and the French forces encamped in front of that place, arc principally supplied with provisions. 'ln addition to the Congreve rockets, it is said that a British flotilla is to be on the river, the command of which is to be given to Captain ALEXANDER DOUGLAS, of the Navy. Yesterday morning' 300 more of the Guards left town,to embark for Passages, in order to rein force Lord WELLINGTON'S Army. A farther draft will be made in.tbe coarse of the 'present week. The.c.;arrison of Gorcum amounted, at the time of thFirSurrender, to about 4000 men. Gtierilla Chief RENOVALES, lately a pri4oiwr in Freace, has made his escape through Holland; and is on hoard ships with a number of others his companions in captivity, at Spithead', in order to return to Spain. MT . . ihr..1,11 for the ensuing week to - remain Without any alteration in its Prlee. Two Heligoland Mails have arrived, bringing letters to the 26tli inst. There was no COVIIIIIII nication with the adjaeent Continent on account of the severity of the season, and in the Island no thing of the least consequence had transpired. By the mail fromlieligoland, on Sunday, we learn, that DAvousT had required of the Danish Government to pull down and clear away whole streets of houses, facing the Altona gate ; or otherwise lie would be obliged to de stroy them by bombardment, as he. tequired the space for his . military operations. On consulting the Caow'N' PRINCE on the affair, he advisel the people to carry off all their property, quit tifeie, dwellings, and leave the enemy to pursue own Course. A British Sailor who lately made his escape from Amiens, (to which place he . had been- re-' , moved from Besancon), reached town yesterday A shipmate and himself became possessed of the . rope belonging to a draw-well, which they threw over• the wall of ,their prison, and so let them-, selves down. When once they were at liberty no question was asked them, except such as tended. to 'forward their means of escape. After much fatigue they reached Bruges, and some British vessels .being off the coast, in that quarter, one of them, which had sent a boat on shore,. conveyed the prisoners to their native shore. Admiral, YaUNG, before whom they were orilered to ap= pear, gave both the seamen their ••lischarge.,_ in pity of their recent -Sufferings and' long previous imprisonment.' Several hundreds of the British prisoners had found tueansto make their escape, the difficulty of accomplishing such attempts being in a. great degree removed, by the present con fused state of France. Another prisoner who: has also reached town, states, that he was at. Nancy, when General BLUCHER was expected to arrive there. The British were, in consequence, ordered farther into the interior,' but he and , some others hid. themselves in the town, in the probable hope of being soon relieved by the Allies. Accordinp,ly the day following, Marshal BLUCHER arrived, when the prisoners all came from their -hiding places. As soon as' it was ascertained that they were British subjects, the General gave them their liberty, and facilitated their means of getting home. '!he prisoners' nnite in representing the very great difficulty which exists in ()tinging the Conscripts to join the French Army. At Nancy about 200 were assembled in a body with much difficulty, and were marched out of the town by' beat of drum, attended• only .by a small escort; No sooner had they passed the suburbs than they began to disperse,..and the drummer boy •.:as soon left with only the escort and about 12 men out of the 200. The Danish - contingent force is stated to •lave already passed the Frontiers of Holstein; for the purpose ot co-opeiating in the good common cause. .The fortress of• Magdchurg.i's invested at both passages'of the Elbe. A.• sword of honour has been presented by the PAiNcE of ORANGE to General lltit.oW, in- festimony.ortlit. high sense entertained by him of the distinguished valour of that veteran Chief , LYMINGTON, FEB. 25.—The South-East Hants Regiment , of Local Militia assembled" here on. Monday last, for the purpose of ascertaining the sentiments of the men, towards volunteering for garrison duty for 42 days, at Portsmouth, under the late Act of. Parliament. The whole of the Officers readily offered their, services, and were joined by 70 non-commissioned officers, .druin niers, and private men only. There were but 450 men assembled out of 900, the full strength of time regiment. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, the Royal Lanarkshire militia marched into Perth, from Newcastle. They are nearly .1000 strong. Thursday evening, as Mr. Thomas Arkell, of Cothay Farm, near. Cheltenham, was returning home,. from market, •he was fired at near his own house' by a villain from behind a hedge, with a gun loaded with slugs, which tore away the flesh From one side of his head, shattered the skull, and rendered his face a most shocking spectacle. His wounds would, doubtless, have proved fatal, if the contents of the gun had not been opposed by his hat, which was beat into the flesh in several parts. After sustaining the injury, Mr. A. fell. from his horse, whereon the. wretch who commit, ted the outrage fled. Mr. A. thus mangled, walked nearly a quarter of a mile to a farmer's house, where assistance was immediately procured, and on Saturday he was ,conveyed to his own farm, we are happy to say, that hopes are still entertained of his.recovery.. The villain whafired had a companion with him, bat it appears terror deterred them..from committing robbery. Mr. Wilton, Attorney, of Cheltenham, was, fired at on Sunday, by some assassin, on his road home from Gloucester. He was desired to “ stop," taut perceiving the intent, - - loosened the reins of bis horse, and escaped the intended robbery, and perhaps murder. - CORONER'S INQUESTS. Three inquisitions were taken at the Rose and Crown, Park-lane, before A. Gp..t., Esq. Coroner for Westminster, first on, the body of Mary Woods, a poor old woman of 87, who was burnt in so shocking a manner as to occasion her death... The deceased was sitting. in her apartments, in Farm-street; Berkeley-square, on Friday evening last, when the fire caught her cloathing, and she was se much burnt that she died in exc.ruciating agony ithe next morning at the Hospital. She was too feeble to assist lierself.—Verdict, Acci dental Death.
