STOCKHOLM, FEB. 6.
Our fleets will be ready for sea, by the end of
March, if our harbors are free from ice.
HAMBURGH, FEB. IT.
Sweden & Denmar k will furni(h 20, and Ruf
fe 30 fails of the line to oppose England.—These
will be joined by a Dutch fleet of from 25 to 18
fail. This powerful force, will oblige the Englilh
to reinforce their North Sea fleet from the Grand
Channel fleet.
LONDON, MARCH 3,
A reconciliation, it is laid, has taken place be
tween the Emperor of Russia and King of Den
mark, and hostile preparations proceed with ac
tivity in the North.
The exertions in the marine department at
Portsmouth, to meet the Northern Confederacy
early in the spring are beyond all example great.
All the men deemed capable of sea duty, are iin
mediately to be drafted, and fitch as can make
themselves ufeful in the dockyards are to be feat
there.
A mod formidable armament will be ready to
Ail much sooner than the coalesced powers can be
in a condition to receive them handfumly. Eifing
burgh and Elfmeur, it is generally believed, will
be the firtt in that quarter to tafle of the British
thunder ;.and Copenhagen, about 8 leagues dis
tance, will probably be honored with an early
vlftt..
> HAMBURGH, FFB.
From Berlin we learn, the Pipffim ministry on
the 13th Feb. gave a note to Lord Carysfort, in
which his Prussian Majesty expresses his astonish
ment that England should confider the Northern
Confederacy as hostile—its object being merely to
secure the neutral trade. He concludes by de
cLiring, that as Prussia had accede to the North
ern convention, she would support it, agreeably
to her engagements, and if the'embargo on Swy
dish and Danish veflels was not taken off, (lie
would be under the neyeffity of employing the
means which providence had placed in her hands
to procure justice for her friends and allies# ,

VIENNA (Ger.) E'ER. 12.
The following notification has been transmit
ted from the States chancery to the Agents and
States of the Empire :
%6 The French Republic has required as an ex
press condition of the new armistice for 30 days
that, during that time, not only the peace with
Atdlrri (halt be finally concluded, but that the
Emperor, as the head of the empire fliall att de
fihiri'vely for the German Empire, in order to a
void the delays inseparable from a Congfefs. The
Emperor has not been able to refufe consenting
to this propofirion, and finds it necessary to give
this notice of it to the States. He will, on this
occasion, exert himfelf as much as fhnll be in bis
power, tfor the good of the whole empire ; but
dhonfd the result not prove conformable to his
wishes, it muff be considered as a confeqnence of
* the unfavorable circumstances in which he finds
himfelf; aof fitch of the States as than conceive
themselves to have cause of complaint, must ap
ply immediately to the French Republic."
't LONDON, March 2.
The Hamburg mail brings certain intelligence
of the landing of a division of the British army
under Gen. Abercrombie, in the Bay of Monvry,
near Damietta, in Egypt, early in January, with
[out opposition. The news is official from Lord
Minto. The troops have teen joined by a divi
sion of the Turkish army. The French force in
Egypt, iuclodiog Copthsand Arabs, i, estimated
at aoout 30,000. There was a rumour in circula
tion at Confiantinople, Jan. 10, that our army
has been defeated. We cannot find, however,
that thii rumour refls upon auy grounds which
foil entitle it to credit.
Betters from Constantinople mention, that Ab
dallah Menon's functions in Egypt are confined
to the duties of Governor General, and that the
real command of the troops has, by ord^r of Bu
onapyrte, been given to Gen. Regnier, an officer
of great merit. . _ , _ ,
Letters from B^yone, of the 16th February,
announce the certain intelligence of the declara
tion of war by Spate againfl Portugal.
During this period, it is probable that our min
itter, Mr. Livingston, will remain in this country.
Nor will lie during such period receive any com
. penfation.
By this means 3,000 dollars, the pay of a minis
ter for lour months will be saved.
The United States so far tepm ihcurfng addi
tional expence by this appointment will in a pe
cuniary point of view gain by it.
It is probable that about lour months will e
lapse before the ratifications shall be exch nged,
aid .information thereof reach the United States.
The expences of Mr. Dawson for the fame pe
riod will amount to about 900 dollars.
Thus it appears that by this arrangement the
fam of 2,iqo dollars will be saved ; from which it
follows that the prelident has in this case foani
fated a commendable regard to economy ! inflead
of exhibiting, as has been erroneously dated in
feme prints, a reprehensible spirit of profufiun.
The citizen Louis Andre Pichon having pro
duced to me his commission as commissary gener

WASHINGTON, MARCH 23.
On the 18th of this month, the Citizen Louis
Andre Pichon was deceived by our Government as
Charge des Affaires of the French Republic : and

We do not find that Mr. Pitt had left his office at
the latest date=-altho' there is no reason to doubt
that the change ot administration has been arrang•
ed.
To the Inhabitants of this town,whom'l expeft
will assemble on the ,sth intt. to finish the busi
ness of the annual meeting, by adjournment,when
l suppose, fometbing will be said or done refpe&-
ing a fchdol for Girls and Misses, which I think is
very necessary in this town, as there are many
who have no, children but girls to- fend'to school,
and at the fame time pay as much for the fopport
of Schools as those wno have a number of boys
benefitted thereby, and mylelf for one. 1 have
thought the following method, might be as ad
vantageous to the town as any they could pitch
upon—That is, for the Selectmen to agree with
the Masters, Who have the charge of inftruaing
the Boys, to attend two hours more in a day, to
inftrua girls and misses, which would accommo
date every part of the town, and the fame build
ings and conveniences which are provided for one
will answer for both, and will be less expence to
the town than a separate school for girls, which at
the fame time would accommodate only a part of
the town.
By a gentleman lately from England, we hear
that the clamors of the people for bread are fre
quent in mobs and rioting, throughout the king
dom. That in Edinburgh, and in-various partsof
Scotland, the Baker's (hops are violently attack
ed and plundered, and that 30,000 troops are in
readiness in the neighborhood of the last mention
ed city. The infatuated people of Great-Britain
though dyin; under oppreflion and famine!hough
inclined to resist, and Simulated to inforreftion
by the imperious calls of nature, are too blind and
too ignorant to direct their efforts with effect, &
to lav the axe to the root of the evil. Thus we *
fee the pro.'refs of despotism and the folly of sub
mitting to its gradual advances. It not only brings
on the physical evils—the bodily (offerings which
the poor ofG.Britain experience, but by degrees it
itupifres and brutalizes the intellect, and renders
the people not only fit to be slaves, -but alifoft
unfit to be free. We know of no example of
mental debasement produced by Despotism, that
so neariv approaches theeffefts otTurkifh Tyran
ny, as that of Great-Britain.
