Her gaity and vivacity diminished ; she was frequently Wain deep thought, and her eyes sparkled. They often walked out in the evening in the avenues of the platform, and the thick foliage of the eheinut-trees; and the rays of the full moon wit. rimed their virtuous intercourse—till at length the platonic- lover, on one of these fine evenings,. threw himself on his knees before Sophia, seized her hand, and exclaimed, " It is mine—thy heart is nude for mine I we- will be happy."--' It is thine," re. plied Sophia; with a look of tenderness—" It is 'thine, and I hope to be happy with thee " I leave to an abler hand the description of this moment I The same evening the family of Hiller embraced Baggesen as Supliiit'S bridegroom, and th e ir f r iend.

DON, AUGUST 9,-1804. Admiral COANwALLrs, in the i G/or . y, put. back to St. Helen's yeiierday evening,' being unable to stand down Channel in . the teeth of the heavy westerly gale. DisOtches have been received from Sir CHAR lA* Corr" dated the 6th of Auguat, when the whole of the French Fleet were reconnoitred at anchor in Brest Roads. W E have this day the satisfaaion allaying before our Readers the Official Account of the Engagement between. the China Fleet and die Squadron under the command of Admiral LIN 01s. The more we ton_ ,sides this gallant achievement, the greater is the ptaixn to which we think'it entitled. ,We have - for, tunately been so long accustomed to an almost uninterrupted series of Naval Vielories, •that when. ever we hear of a battle, we consider a viCtory as almost a matter of course ; but even those who . think highest of British skill and couNige, could hardly have been sanguine enough to hope, that a few deep-laden heavy Indiatrten could reist an attack made by a French Squadron, consisting of an 84-gun Ship, three large. Frigates, and a Brig. B u t, i n point of lad, the French Squadron was nut only successfully resi*tetl, but absolutely beaten rind chaked. It will be curious to see in what manner Ltritots will account for his defeat : the East Indiamen will, nu douhr,.be magnified into. 74. Gun.ships, and the French will he described as hay. ing ;required abUndance of glory, though they took to prizes. I,a‘t night we received Papers to the 3tl Instant. The intelligence from Paris contained in these Papers is not of a later ,date ,than what we have Already communicated to our Readers. It is never. .thelcbs not without interest, as it irrlicate3 the fears entertained at Paris wiih respect to disposition virile Northern Powe'rs., The Russian Charge d' faires is said to have delivered the ti/timatuffs of his Court, one of the obje6; of which is, the Evacua. tian of Hanover by the French Troops ; and he is also stated to have demanded his Passports ,t 6 return to Russia in the event .of a refusal. The Fre,,ch Funds fell considerably Ist consequence of this pmi. Lion of Puts;ic Affairs. • 4is confessed, in 'the Paris aceounts e that six or eight Gun . boats we re stranded at Boulogne in the late storm ; ,and that fifteen or sixteen houses, at Tjavre, were more orless damaged by our bombard, Tent; but the hiatilla at the latter place is said to have received little or no injury. , The French Ambassador at the Hague presented his new Credentials on the 3otit ult„ and, with the piiae of d o Imperial Minister, kept the slavish 4n4 submisiive Dutch CommisSionerS, who came to re» ceive him, a considerable . time , in waiting ,at the door of his Hotel, Yesterday aftetnootiwe received Bottoir Pqors to the 7th of July. The Extracts we have Made 0144 iehte to' a misundetatundfng which appears to have taken place between oqr Ambassador Mr. Miliftir and the United States, ivepettini the Fainbrian Frigate, at New. York. There is tea. son to believe, however, that thf4 )tisitless has been ficte,stoicably sctilod. Vrehate authority to state, that the reports of the death, of the indisposition of Lard emtpta arc totally without foundation. A Morning Print, mo►e remarkable for its ma. lignity than wit or correttnesi, reMarks, that never ,were such valuable Fleets left so unprotected as those were which lately have arrived. If the Editor will give himself the trouble to inquire, where ,roper itiormativ4 may be obtain. cd, he will and, that never were Fleets baler pro/need than those from St. Helena, the Lee ward Islands, Portugal, the Illicit, .ani New. foundlanJ, each having Ships of `Vat to convoy them, which had' nothing to apprehend from any thing that the Enemy dared to send out against them. Sun Oft', Three P. M. We stop the Press to announce', that Mr. MAIN. WAR ING has been declared duly elated by a Ma. jority of Five.
