LONDON,
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9.

We have received New York Papers to the 9515
last, from which we have made several extraFts.
They contain several paragraphs, in which Colonel
Buss is direttly charged with treason, and an at-
tempt to excite rebellion in the ‘N'estem country.
These charges are made in a very loose and vague
manner ; but it is difficult to rot:ceive that a News-
paper would prefer them up n light grounds. These
pallets have shewa their respect for our Mtnister,
the H -inouxable Mr. EKSKIri e. by a total cessation
of all abuse against En,lani, or reiteration of those
complaints which constitute the subject matter of
his mission. A change of that system which gave
so much offence to the Americans appears indeed
to have already taken place. The .'lrw York ('bra-
aisle states, that the Cambrian frigate, one f those
English vessels lately complained of, had recently
bearded an American, and though th.re of the crew
wese without protections, she did not press them.
The intetesting points in the New York Papers, will"
be found in our extracts. Among these is an ac-
count of the late dreadful fire in the Island of St.
Thomas.

By the Lisbon Mail, which arrived yesterday, we
have received a letter, dated Malta, Oetriber 16,
from which the following is an extra :—" This
goes by the Scout brig of warj which sails imme-
diately, with dispatches for aid COLLINGWOOD
she came in here from Palermo, where it seems they
have accounts of the Toulon fleet being at sta."—
We have also received, by the same conveyance,
Letters and Papers from Gibtaltar, to the 94th,--
Sir SIDNEY SMITH, it appears, is coming home, in
consequence of some misdnderstanding between him
and Sir JohN STUAKT. The Spanish gun-boats
are represented in great force in the neighbourhood
of Gibraltar, where they greatly annoy our com-

merce.

The Proclamation of BONAPARTI for the Block-
ade of England, &c. and other articles ennn. fled
with it, the substance of which we gave yesterday,
will be tound at length in our last page.

It was reported, yesterday. that Turkey, at the
instigation of France, has declared war am-.
Russia. .

The Ranger is artived in the Firth of Forth,
from the Elbe; she has brought intelligence, that
the Lima and other vessels 'whids sailed from the
Firth, with goods, far Tonningen, were not suffered
to land them, and were obliged to return. It should
seem from this, as if Denmark had been compelled
to take part against us.
The Danzig. ROSINDALI, which arrived at Hull
on Friday aftenoon, left the Sound on Tuesday
se'nnight. The English ships at Dantzig had all
got out ready to put to sea, in case the French
reached that place. It is said they were in pos-
session both of it and Thorn. At Petersburgh,
the Exchange with this country had fallen very
greatly.
An Evening Paper of yesterday, stated, that a
pension of 12,0001. per animist has been granted to
the Hon. Mrs. Fox.
The &erre. Captain Cour+ BLACK, from Lon.
don for Buenos Ayres, sailed from Lisbon on the
21st of November for Buenos Ayres, under convoy
of the Racen brig of war.
The Fader, CONWAY, from Belfast for London,
is arrived at Holyhead, after being on shore.
On Saturday the Dispatches were finally closed at
the East India House, and delivered to the pursers
• of the Dre,tynes, Carmarthen, General Sluarl, and
Travers, being the last ships of the season.
Some days before the arrival of the French, Lou-
p/lin, a Frenchman, the Secretary to the Prussian
Legation at Paris, was arrested at Stettin, and im-
prisoned for treachery ; and several more of the per-
sons attached to the Prussian Ministry were said to
be implicated in the same crime.
Several letters were last week received at Hull,
from the Captain and crew of the 13knheint. of that
port, captured with the liolikeneas, by two French
frigates, on their return from the Davis's Straits
fishery. The crew were landed at L'Orient, and
marched frem thence, about 4.60 miles, in 28 days,
to Arras, where they arrived the last week is Oc-
tober. The surgeon of the Blenheim was left with
the sick at the hospital. at landing. The harpooner,
and A M BRITTLIBANK. one of the crew of
the Blenheim, were left sick at Alencnn. There I
were about 1,500 prisoners at Arras, and their allow-
ance was only small. •
A Gentleman arrived at Hull, on Friday, who
left Stettin three days after the French entered that
place, states, that, after intelligence of the battle
of Jena, and the subsequent flight of the King of
PRUSSIA over the Oder, were known there, the inha-
bitants wrote to His Mealtime, offering to defend
the place for him, even if the military wore with-
drawn. The Kis° returned them thanks for the
attachment manifested to him, but advised them
not to think of such a measure at that time, as it
could only be produCtive et the worst 'fleas to
themsel►es, without any benefit to his cause.—
When the French summoned it, therefore, it was
given up; but the garrison had previously been
withdrawn, with the exception of the invalids and
the wounded who had reached that place. Yet,
notwithstanding this, after the Governor had sur.
rendered to the French, and the latter had taken
possession of Stettin, the Governor was insulted by
the inhabitants, pulled off his horse, and trampled
upon in the streets, for Ins coadua in giving it up.

Mature in glory, as in Fears,
Royal " lir•inswiek" yields to Fate;
Embalm his memory with your tears,
Britons!—,for he was good and greet!
A daughter's sorrows bathe his urn :
Britons I will your Princess mourn!
La! the gallant spirit flies
Far from this scene of toil and care ;
And merino to his native skies,
Blends wth a kindred spirit then!
Thema kel.tless wreath lie wears;
Beauteous Princem! cease your tears !
Lo! front a glorious group, attending,
Patriots and Heroes of Reuuwn ;
Our own Immortal Nels us bending,
Pears the Prince a Laurel Crown!
Hark! the` bfusic of the Spheres!
Lovely Prittra.! cease your tears!
" Brave Ifietim of ill-feed War!
Success, though merit f=il to give,
" "barite it shall with mutt ir,
" And Briii,swicles fame with Nelson's live!
" With deathless pulse, and bliss rewarded,
" In every British heart recorded,
" Brunie ick! thy virtues shall survive'

fkanteous Princess! cease to mourn!
Dearest ties though V.lte di.wver,
Laurels shade great Brunswick's urn,
And his fame shall live far ever !
Though the pious grief endears,
Reaute•us Princess ! cease your tears !
