SOLEM QIJIS DlCt4t TAT;SUM OJDEAT L 0 ND 0 N, WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1806. 2~ WE stated some days a . go that His Majesty's Ministers intended to take off the Embargo upon Hamburgh and Oldenburgh Vessels, and the Gazette of last night contabas a.ProclatnatiOn to that effea. ' The Embargo is alsotaken - otT all such yessels froM Bremen-and Pappenbur4ll is. cleared out for any of the Ports of the United Kingdoms previous to _the Prussian Notification, dated the 28th I\larch,- where by British Ships were excluded from the Ports of Prussia. , The Gazette also contains His 'Majesty's Order in Council for granting Letters of Marque and Reprisal against the Ships, Goods, and Subjetas of the KLING of PRUSSIA, and of -the Town of Pappenburgh ; so that we are now aaually in a state of War with Prussia. There is also a Notification from His . Majesty's Secretary 'of State for Foreign 'Affairs, to the IVlinis 'ters of all Friendly and Neutral, Powers resident at ; this Court, apprizing thetri.that alb the Ports from . - the Elbe to Brest, inelusive, - are in a state ofbloCkade. Ali the private - Letters which have been received from the Continent concur in stating, that th.e Most serious discontent has been manifested almost in every partofthe Prussian Dominions, in consequence rbf the extraordinary and unfortunate 'sYstem of pe- Icy adopted by the Government of that Country.— 'The Merchants, many of whoni'are utterly ruined,, - arti loud jn their complaints,.• and the. Military are indignant 'at the idea - of being converted into instru tients to forward _the atnbitioUS -purposes of France. It is said, and we believe with - truth, that the Court Of Berlin would willingly -make some sacrifices to Procure a suspension of the. vigorous -measures adopt ed by the British Government ; but we fear that russia is now too much under the .controul of trance to aa'for herself, and it is too obviously the interest- of BONAPARTE . that Prussia should-. persist in her present system, to Suppose that lie will now suffer her to_, retrace her steps. Every thing 'kvhiell tends to widen the. breath between Prussia and the Allied Courts, will, of course, throw the former more into the power of France. IN mentioning yesterday the report from Ply tnouth, of the capture of our In-shore SqUadrOn . off Brest, we stated our reasons for. thinking it wholly undeierving of credit. The Letters which have been received this morning from Plymouth fully confirm our opinion. The report either -originated in mis- . tak e , or (what is More probable) was a wicked . and mischievous fabrication. The Squadron Un der the Command Of Sir_ RICHARD STRACHAN sailed on Monday, it is Supposed for the East Indies. A Council of the Cabinet Ministers was,yester day afteruoon held, at two o'clock, At Lord GREN VILLE'S house (his Lordshm being indispiised thro' his lairieness),.lit whiCh Ear' Mora, Earl SPENCER, Lord . H. PETTY, Mr. Secretary Poi, and Mr, WIND . liAlt attended. Yesterday morning - Ho MAJESTY, PrincessesAu cusTA, SoPAIA, -and AMELIA, Dukes of Cur ER-- LAND and Sussz.x, attended by Getrerals GWYN:T, MANNERS, FITZROY, DE BUDE,- and Colohels TAY -1.9a, and cAMPBELV, on horseback; took an airing thrOugh Windsor Great Park, round the Forest, and returned about two o'clock: - Yesterday, at tbree . o'clOck, the PrttN.c:rof WALES; accompanied by the young .PR/NCESS CHARLOTTE, Zeturned to Carleton. House, from Windsor. Two Foreign 'Couriers arrived yeitt4day at Mr. Fox's Office, in Downing-street; ou from the Court of Vienna, and the other from Copenhagen. Yesterday morning- Sir 30f1:4 BORLASE WARE transacted business with the Board of Adoairalty. No alteratiwi in the price of Bread this week. _ Roman Catholics of the town and county of bit° have signed Addresses to His MAJESTY and the Duke of BEDFORD. They congrafulate the King on the fOrMation of the present Administration, from whose combined exertions they hope (as ve ; do) to experience vigour abroad, and conciliation at borne, The. Address to the Lord Lieutenant ex presses a hope that the ddinission of all ranks of His Majesty's Subjects to a full participation of the Con stitution, is reserved for his Grace's enlightenCd Go verninent. On Sunday evening last a Vessel belonging to. Larne, loaded with rock salt,earthenwai'c, and other goods, from .Liverpool, was wrecked-on tbe . slfore Of Island Magee ; all the crew ,Qll. board were saved except one b6y, who was unhappily drowned,:. • Mea sures- were t a k en to save as much of the cargo as pos sible, as the shore is bold and rocky, and a heavy surge was setting in, it was dangerous to approach it with bOats: A iblodern Writer gives the following enumera tion of the epression of afemale eye ." the glare,. th e stare, the leer, the sneer, • the invitation, the defiat.ce, the denial, the consent,• the glance of love,' the flash of rage, the sparkling of hope, the languishment of softness, the flames of desire, the &quint of suspicion, the tire of jealousy, anti the lustre of pleasure." i S E . MitE dORIZE,§PONDEA'te:E. HAN OV E MAY g. It is impossible to describe the• fatal effeas which the unfortunate rnptdre with your country has no .. • casioned on the Prussian Trade. All Bills drawn in Silesia upon. Hamburgh and Bremen have been re tiarlied with protest; which gives a mortal stab to the Mercantile Interest ; and the .iMmense number of, Vessels which have been captuled, has raised such a hue and cry against our new Mohareh, that the Most alarming consequences are'expeiited. , The ci tizens in Berlin-are so incenSed•against HAUGWITZ, that hi 3 abode ther,e must soon ,become very. dan- - gerous, as they have'. already gone the length of • breaking the windoWs in his house, and also of corn- . mitting other outrages, which exhibit symptoms of thefinost lively discontent, and that not alone amongst the lower;ranks. The Soldiery, it is said, have re fused-to aa'against•the Burghers, which has caused great sensation, and induced ..HAUGWITZ to go to, Potsdam.* ,I4apEipnitohas been loudly called for• again, by ali ranks,• and it is even thought his Ma jesty may be induced-to •recall him to his 'old situa , tion, which many go the length to say he will not accept. Mr. Fox's temperate but. manly speech has set the Whole country, in consternation, and. fully opened the .eyes of the most unenlightened peasants, to see through the odiou s perfidy of our-late Politics. All the deserters from the Hanoverian Corp§ which were lately in this country are ordered to be apprehended; anddragged into the service of their . new master. They are not allowed to enter into any of the - Regiments stationary in this country, but are', transported into.the interior Of the country, to pre- . vent the possibility of escape. Now though this measure may not meet with general disapprobation,.: yet I lament to be, under 'the painful necessity of ' acquainting you with others no less tyrannical' than. disgraceful, and which, lam sure, must meet the hOnest indignation of every human being possessed of the least degree of feeling. ; While the French usurped the Sovereignty of out unfortunate Eleaorate, their system of extortion and pillage-.'must have been'notorious to all Europe; yet they only insisted ;upon our supporting their Military in the country, and in mortgaging it fin sums, to our neighbours, which they- well knew would neVer be paid; but our present Task-master not only insists upon our supplying a more numerous military, but even insists uPpli our advancing men four'grots.ek tra (two-pence sterling); which we all know is served out as a' boon- to keep the . Army godd humour. Those who Cannot comply with these `tyrannical orders are immediately served with thi litary execution; and th - eir "goods sand chattles ex= posed to sale. General BAanou, having accomplished the object of his mission here, is about to return to France. What:the mission might :have been, I suppose; is now no secret to Europe, and I am sorry he has succeeded so well. • • . Many reports are at this moment in circulation about some intended transfers and regulations' ex pe&ed to take place. It is said His. PiusSian Ma-, jesty would dispense-with *our Elealorate if , he . could get hold, of his old possessions-; but that BONAPARTE will not agrei3 . ..to upon - any terms. It - is. said•hO proposes to . the Court-ot Berlin to take po,ssession of Swedish Poinerania, and return the -Eleaorate, to England, it your Cabinet cannot lie.brought to terms upon any other conditions ; if that won't do; • will send his Troops again here to retain possession of it fur Prussia. It is also reported that BONAPARTE proposes Mu- EAT to get the Eleetorate, and to give up part of his new ailuisitions to Prussia. . THE THEATRE.---The Tragedy of ~arte Shore was represented last night at Covent-Garden Theatre, for the benefit of Mrs. LircurlELD, who announced. her final departure from the Stage on this occasion, - but who will, .no doubt, be very ready . to contribute' her efforts for the remainder (f the season, if the terests of the Property shoUld render them necessary. The :part of June Shore was supported by Miss SmiTtr, in a very pathetic manner. Mrs. LITCH tIELD gave considerable spirit, energy, and effea to the charaCter of Alicia. POPE, in 'consequence of . the continued indispoSition of C HARLES KEMZLE, took the part of Hastings, and acquitted himself . very7 ably. KEidet.E. gives the chareeler of Gloucester, quite in a 'new light, and classes it among the most prominent of his professional exertions.. The charac ter of Dumont was to 'have been represented by CooKE,,but as soon as he came on the stage, instead of being fit to display the sorrows of an affec. tionate husband, long divided from a disloyal, but repentant -wife, it was evident that— " The tsars of tL - 1; tankard were all he could shed ;" and that he was; indeed, in'sueh a situation as total ly disqualified him from discharging his duty. The :Audience testified great displeasure, .and , he was obliged by his condition, as well as by general in dignation, to quit the Stage. MURRAY, very good naturedly, came fOrward soon after as his subtitute, but the AudienCe, in, the warmth of their resent ment, 'vented some discontent towards him, which, however, speedily gave way to more just and liberal feelings. As to COOKE, it is rleedle , .'s for us to say any thing, as the public have themselves chiefly tO blame, for Chen he returns to the Stage, after similattrespasSes • on decorum, to sneak in the Mildest terms of his con dua,:he is generally received with the triumph of a Conqheror.—Mrs LyrennELD made a handsome apology for the. unavoidable cOnfusion which this incident had occasioned, as well' as for the omission of GARRIQK'S Ode on SHAKESPEARE, which COOKE had promised to 'deliver. • She also took leave of the Public .in an elegant and appropriate farewell Ad dresS, svhich: she spoke with. great emotion, and which was followed by loud applause.--The House had'a very numerous Audience.''

'two Sail appeared in the N. -W. quarter. AS they were far to wind Ward, and night approaching, I judged, by commencing. a chace at that time, there tvas but little prpspea of keeping Sight of them- after close of day; I ttmefere continued with the Ship in thp same'sitn-, ation as when first seen till dusk, and then.bOre•up; made • for Trokillo Buy,• the entrance of Which we reached before eleven o'clock the same night. . I was induced td , 'believe, by thediteEti.on' .they Were .steering, added to- other circumstances, this wds their destination. At two in the morn. ing of the 2gth, -- these Vessels were seen rounding the East Point forining TrUxillo Bay, but hauling so close to the land that. they Were scarcely to lie discerned.
