Hamburg, Feb. 10. If the English embargo on
Danish and Swedish vessels is not taken off, it is
believed that Hanover and Hamburg will be oc
cupied by Prussian troops.
The intelligence that an English frigate has cut
out several Swedish vessels from Norway causes

blow, and has nothing so much at heart %s to keep
on good terms with England.

Hamburg, Fib. 18. From Berlin we learn, the
Prussian Ministry on the J3th Feb. gave another
note to Lord Carysfort; in which his Prussian
Majesty expresses his astonishment that England
Ihould confider the Northern Confederacy as hos
tile—its objed being merely to secure the neutral
trade. The note concludes by declaring, that as
Prussia had acceded to the Northern Convention,
she would support it, agreeably to her engage,
ments, and if the embargo on Swedilh and Danilh
vessels were not taken off, she would be under the
necessity of employing the means which provi
dence had placed in her hands, to procure jaftice
for her friends and allies.

ridan adverting to Mr. Nicholas's motion
for an enquiry into the cause and extent
of his Majesty's illness, in a speech of
peculiar candour and feeling, deprecated
all present difeuffion on the fubje&; he

culiarity of situation, owing to the ne^
ceffity of the Call, in appearing again in
this house, as I did not exped to appear
as one of his Majesty's ministers ; in
which situation I must continue, while
the cause of that continuance remains."
He observed, that should bis Majesty's
illness continue, contrary to the well
founded hopes of those immediately a
bout his perfon,and the country at large,
his Majesty's Ministers, under whatever
circumstances, would feel it their duty
to bring the fubje& before the conside
ration of the house, and propose such
measures as may tend to prevent any
obftrudion to the necessary dispatch of
public business. He trusted that all dif
ference on public opinions would fub^
fide until the period should arrive for
difeuffing them. After some short ob^
fervations from Mr. Nicholls, the quest
