LONDON,
SATURDAY. Dimas:lna 5.

The Russian Declaration is given is our pre-
ceding columns.--In it the Emperor of Russia
avows, that he breaks off all communication with
England ; recalls his Embassy, and will not suffer
any Ambassador from us to continue at his Court ;
he declares that there shall henceforward exist no re-
lations between the two countries, and that all alts hi-
therto concluded with Britain are abrogated for ever.
lie proclaims anew the principles of the armed neu-
trality, that monument of the wisdom of the Em-
press Catut:r.tstz, and binds himself never to re-
cede from that system. He also demands satis-
cation so his subjeas for certain detentions of
their ships and merchandize ; gives warning that no
relation of amity shall be re-established until Eng-
land shall have given satisfation td Denmark;
and expals that England will feel herself called
upon, under the present circumstances, to conclude
a peace with France, which, in his estimation,
would be to extend the inestimable blessings of peace
to the whole world. All these threats and charges
are totally incompatible with a state of peace. The
article amounts, in fat, though not in form and
terms, to an liana' DECL•II A Ttr/N of Was, and
has been so understood and afted upon by our
Government. The grounds of this proceeding
on the part of Russia, the motives which have
induced her to excemmuniaate England from
the pale of Continental Europe, are mere pre-
tences. The principles of the armed neutrality
are of long standing. The motive of Russia, in
breaking with us on that point, is not new; i: is ex-
tolled as a raciounaent of the wisdom of the Empress
CATHERINE. Oar remissness ix the late continental
war has been already punished by the dereliction of
Russia ; at all events, it can be only a gruund of
complaint, but not oLhostilities ; and, with regard
to our expedition to .Egypt, Rusiia being at the
time at war with Turkey, we do not see in it any
ground tit oleos,. Not knowing all the circum-
stances wader which our Government declined the
mekcioa of Russia. we cannot say how kW it
was an affront; but from every thing that bas
transpired, tlasi offer bad scarcely the appearance
of a serious proposal. We are not to be blamed
because we rejefted that aisedatton. and tamed to
outside oar interests to a Pima which posse►sed

' • •
none of arc Chanties of a Mediator, which had just
accepted part of tbe,spoils of her own Ally, *Ad
which having betself solicited the mediation Of
our enemy to re-establish Peace between her and
Turkey, would, of course, have excleavoured to pro-
pitiate France by the sacrie.ca of the iiit,ret:s
Great Britaio, who had invested her with the otEce
of Mediator. But what just cause of war sloes tLis
refusal of the Russian Mediation give the Emperor
At era nnt We were free surely to accept or re-
jed it as we thought proper; and a Power which
makes the rejedion of her offer of Mediation, a
ground of war, only proves to us that she would not
have conduded herself with the impartiality that
might to be the chief characteristic of a Mediator.
The Emperor of Rossi A himself thus affutds a justi-
fication of our conduct in having refused his Media-
tion. In candour, however, we must admit, that
the attack upon Copenhagen is made the head
and front of our offending," and that all the other
charges are to be considered as accessaries.

On Wednesday night and Thursday morning, a
party of Officers wen; on board all the foreign ves-
sels in the River, examined their papers, and scru.
tinised their cabins closely. All vessels found under
Oldenburgh colours had the broad arrow put upon
their masts, and orders were given that no person
belonging to them should be suffered to go on shore.

An embargo has been laid on all the British ships
in the Russian ports, bet there are very few we be-
lieve in them. The following Letter upon .this
subjea was received yesterday morning from
Hull:— " ROLL, nee. 2.
" The Bd/l, --, arrived last night from St. Pe-
tersburgh, which site lett on the 4th ult. During
her stay in Relsingborg Roads, the Neve had also
got safe down, and, we cape& would proceed with
the London convoy.
" During the fleet's stay at Helsingborg, a neutral
vessel arrived there from Kiga, with letters for Mr.
Cummings, from his house at that place, informing
him, that an embargo was laid on, at the Russian
ports, on the 12th November, after three notices had
been given of it by the Government. Ualy one ship
from London was at Riga. We have nut heard of
any ships being embargoed at St. Petersburgh."

In consequence of orders from Government, the
Russian frigate Sperbsei, of 44 guns, and a large
traosport. were taken possession of. as prise., on
Wednesday night, at Spithead. by the boats of the
Leda and Hussar.

Dispatches were reserved, yesterday. at the
Admiralty, from Lord G•asosta. They are dated
the C7th last, off Ushant, at which time the Chao-

nel Fleet was all well. It has captured sevcral
French privateers, an account of whi,h will
appear iu Garate of this night. It was
reported o■ Wednesday, at Plymouth, that the
Channel Fleet has proceeded to Lisbon.

The following ships have arrived in the River
Humber. under convoy of the Prater/face, Ceptarri

We announced, yesterday, the safe arrival of the
Hon. Mr. Piste:toots?, our Lite Minister to the
Court of Sweden. at L:ith. rhe following is an
extraa from a letter, dated Edinburgh, Nov. 50,
upon this subjell: " This morning, at nine o'clock,
Mr. Ptsaacecumr, British Ambassador at the
Court of Sweden, landed from a lugger at Leith,
under a salute of 15 guns, after a passage of four-
teen days, from lielsingborg, and immediately set
off for London ; he was succeeded in his embassy
by Mr. Baconian .: every thing was tranquil
when he sailed from Helsingborg. and the Koss
was then there, Three convoys from the Rabic,
bound to Britain, consisting of about PO sail,
were lying at that port ; the lugger, by contrary
winds, had put into Marstrand, by which gale,
eight of the homeward bound vessels were also put
back, and (we snaallinig, name unknown. lost."
Tnis letter contradias the repot t of a revolution
in Sweden, stated to have been brought by the yes-
sel which conveyed Mr. PUlllll'Oll4l t: England.
In the present state of affairs upon the Continent,
it is, however, a matter of little importance to
England. Whether the King Of Swcoes be inti-
midated by his subjects, or over-awed by Russia, in
either case he cannot be considered a free Agent.
—He may be at heart the friend of England,
and the sincere enemy of BOMAPAII TA, but
the revolutionary tide has set in strong in
his neighbourhood, and must necessarily sweep
Sweden along wisp it. Surrounded by Russia, lien-

We have learned from a respeAsble quarter, that
the Treaty of Partition of the 'furbish tAnpars has
been signed and ratified. The three pewee inter-
ested are France, Austria. and Russia. France is
to rec.-ive for her share the provinces bordering on
the Adriatic, the Seven Islands, the blorea. sad
Egypt. Autarie is to get hems, Bosnia, and pot
of Wallachia. And to the lot of Russia will fall
the other part of Wallachia, Bessarabia, Moldavia, 1
and the Island of Canoia. The destiny of Constar- - •
tinople is said not toast fixed ; but in a divisine of
spoil among three parties of very unequal sueugen,
it requires no great sag autty to divine, that ItAn,,e
will have the lion's share.

A the broke out, at eight o'clock last evening, at
the Countess of Clertnont's house. in Berkeley-
square: Her Ladyship had company ar dinner, and
the cloth was just removed when the alarm was given.
As soon as her Ladyshi/s c•lmpany heard of the
dreadful accident, they persuaded her to quit
the house. but in vain ; she remained in the house,
and would not suffer the doors to be opened,
while the fire was ritg.ng with the greatest fury in
the back attic story, where it is imagined it had
begun: the engines soon arrived, and the whole
neighbourhood was in alarm. Water could not be
procu:ed for a conrderstale time, and when the plugs
were opened, there was not a sufficient quantity
to work the engiaes, until the main was forced at
Pimlico and at the New River Head. By that
time the flames hid spread to mph an alarm-
ing degree, as to threaten destruction to the
houses of Earl Powis and Sir John Harring-
ton. Lord Fc:ey's house also stood in great
danger, as the balk drawing-room windows pro-
joie, and were very much scorched by the flames.
At nine o'clock, the square was filled with people,
and carriages full o: ladies, who stopped to witness
the dreadful scene; the flames by that time hay-
ing extended to the front of the house, and still
keeping to the attic otitis.. burning in the most
awful manner. It illuminated the whole atmo-
sphere tor many miles round. The engines by that
time had received an ample eupply of water, but it
did not seem to have any dial on the devouring
element, it still burned with great violence io the
back part of the house, and consumed the
third floor room, with its furniture. By ten
o'clock the roof fell in with a dreadful
crash, which stopped the progress et the flames,
although the ruins of that part of the house. by ts.e
great heat, threatened dectultion to the second dote.
About eleven o'clock, it was nearly got tinder, but
it still had an awful appearance. Lord Foley oo,a;
on the roof of his own house, during the wi.ole
time ; and Lady Foley, who had packed up er
jewels, remained within, with the greatest for-
titude and composure, being determined nut to re-
tire until it was thought necessary. I ler Lady-
ship's carriage was at the door during •he whole
time, in case it was thought prudent for her rc
leave the house. At half-past eleven, the fi.e
was very much abated. The St. James's Volun-
teers attended, and kept excellent order. the fire-
men also exerted themselves to the utmost of their
power ; one of them having got access to the top of
the hcuse on fire, through Sir John Harrington's
house, he broke the windows of the dormers, strip-
ped the lead off the top of them, and beat down
the rafters. This had a very good effelt in stopping
the progress of the flames, which, at that per:od,
had nearly caught the roof of Earl Powis's house. At
twelve o'clock, the engines were all et work, and
the square was crowded with people. Every Gen-
demaa's house in the square was opened, and ready
to receive any thing that might be saved from the
-qaeration.

COLOINGNAN, NOV. 24.
In the late severe storm, which commenced on
Thursday evening, the 19th instant, and confirmed
until the following night, the tern, of Peterhead,
Armand. master, was driven on shore op the rocks
to the east of Coldinghaes Sands, anti literally
dashed to pieces. Oat of the crew, consisting of the
master, four men, and a boy, with three passengers,
only the master and one of the passengers were
saved, and that alone by the persevering humanity
of the tenant of the farm on which the vessel was
wrecked, who, along with his domestics, in defiance
of the storm, and atter more titan an hour's labour,
extricated the master from his perilons situation
among the rocks, quite exhausted with fat;gue. The
vessel sailed frem the Orkneys. laden with slates,
(by the master's account), at eight, a. es. on the
19th, and WAS wrecked about nine, p. M. of the 20th,
running, in that short space. the whole length of the
East coast of Scotland. Foer of the crew, and two
of the passengers (one of then) a young woman
from Orkney, said to have been going to Leith to
get married) were all buried yesterdy, in one
grave, in Coldingbarn church-yard. Report says,
another vessel was wracked, the same night, to the
Eastward of Eye'noutb, clew raved ; and another
to the Westward of Bt. Abh's Head, only one
saved.

GROOM 0. POTTS.
This was an adton brought by the Plaintiff,
Groom, a bricklayer, to recover damages from the
Defendant, for an assault.
It appeared that the Plaintiff had been employed
by a Mr. Croft, who WI purihased, at an au3ion,
an old barn, io the neighbourhood of Mile-end, to
tale down the building, and convey away the ma-
te, ials. By the- articles of sale, particular hours
vrete aprointed for the purchasers taking away their
property, after a measurement had taken place.—
Toe Defendant, to whose care the premises had
been eatrusted, thought that the Plaintiff bad corn*
at rather a pternaiute or unseasonable bout to effect
this purpose, and consequently ►ome high words
tnseed. which ultimately came to blows on the part
of Potts, who, besides setting his antagonist vio-
lently by the throat, used the freedom to give him.
at the same time, several kicks upon the seat of
h.ricur, calling him also as big a rogue as his

father.
It was alleged, on the part of the Defendant, that
Groom had invited him to do this. by repeated in-
sults, and exposure of the parts he wished him, it
inclined, to strike.
'A Surgeon had been salitanneil, to most the in-
jury sustained ; but he did not appear.

This anion was brought by an Attorney of tho
Court, to recover the sum of 441. 14s. the amount
of a bill of costs incurred by the Defendants u
assignees upon the bankrupt estate of a Mr. Nairn,
for defending an ejeßment agaii st Nairn, and filing
a bill in equity against the lessee of the then Plain-
tiff. The bill in dispute had already been before
the Masters in Chancery. who had represented the
charges as Leiiig reasonable, or according to custom
in such cases, so that the non-payment of them by
the Defendant did not arise from any alleged over-
charge, but from their never having been conscious
of having employed the Plaintiff to et:indite the.
business for which the charge was nude. The
evidence, however, of the Plaintiff's clerks and
others concerned, chewed, that the Defendant had
repeated!), called upon the Plaintiff, and taken
en a&ive part in the business, as it was going for-
ward, inquiring into its progress, &e.

Asia's' is. Lotto.
This was an *Won brought by a Mrs. Amey. a
milliner, against the Defendant, one of the bailiffs
for the county of Surrey, to recover the amount of
a debt due to her by a Mr. Saniurl Glow, amount-
ing to the sum of 841.; together with SRI. 10s. of
costs attending a law-suit in endeavouring to re-
cover her debt from her original deotor ; and latterly
against. the Sheriff of that county, in which she
failed, by being uonsuited, on account of the sion-
produition, by the present Defendant, of a certain
warrant, alleged to be in his custody, when suksaviaed
upon the trial. A warrant having been tuned by
the Sheriff, to levy upon the goods of this Samuel
Glover, a return had been made of " no goods,"
but it afterwards appeared, by proof, that there
were aCtually sad, su goods to satisfy the Plaintiff's
debt. This being the case. she brought her salon
against the Sheriff, for the amount of her debt,
ppm the ground that there had been some cotlusibn
between him and her dAtor. Long was, upon
that occasion, called -upon to give his testimony,
and to proJuce the Warrant in question, but he de-
posed that be had never seen it, and that it had not
been ditteted to him. From the evidence it ap-
peared, that it had been directed to ;nether Bailiff,
of the name of Grace, who kept his Prisoners at
the same house where Long resided, in Charlotte-
street; Blackfriar's-road, and that they were in a
kind of co-partnership with each other. This beii.g
04 case, the person ;soma for Mrs. Amry had
fashioned the subpsna for the production of
that Warrant. as being in the custody of
au or other of them; but it had happened
to be served only upon Long, and not upon (irate;
so that the former of these bailiffs alone appeared
•at the trial. It had since been discovered. and
proved, upon this present occasiont by a person of
the name of Winstanley, who had been taken by
Grace, as a prisoner, to Lorg's home; that he had
actually seen the very warrant sought for banging
upon a file. along with various others; and, indeed.
the Defendant's subsequent conduct evinced his per-
lea knowledge of its being there, although he had,
upon the 'trial, denied ever having seen it. The
first law-suit had been occasioned by the goods
which had been discovered, having been claimed
by this man, Winstanley, as his property, and nut
Glover's ; aid it bad subsequently come out. that
the Sheriff aught to have actually returned them as
the goods of Glover.

concern, that the thought her inhocent, and let her
depart, without taking her address. On her hus-
band's returning, she informed him of her loss.
Mr. Baxter, dawn-broker, of Nor folk-street,
deposed, that the Prisoner and another woman
came into-his shop on the 24th of Oflober, while

.ceived Prison-r chewing a paper to some people in
the chop. Witness asked her to let him look at it ;
she did, and remarked that she had found it, and
supposed it was not worth any thing. He told her
it was not, that it was a bill of exchange ; recom-
mended her to find the acceptor, by which means
she would fiod our the owner, and likely be hand-
somely rewarded. On the Monday following, Wit-
ness saw the bill of exchange and sing advertised;
he went immediately, and returned the ring to the
Prosecutor. On the 4th of November, Prisoner
came again to his house, and he asked her for the
bill ; she said she had given it to a Mr. Dawson ;

ter the Prisoner was in castody, Witness went to the
house where she had lodged, and saw Dawson and
Prisoner's husband, a shoe-maker ; Dawson refused
giving the bill to Witness, but gave it to Prisoner's
husband, who said he knew ❑othing about it, and
banded it to Witness.
Mr. Mason deposed, that when Prisoner was in
custody at Mailborongh-street (Ace, he asked her

on the same evening she took the purse; as to the
rest of the money she had get intoxicated and lost
it. Witnerss idectiied the bill of exchange.
The Prisoner did not make any defence, but had
two Witnesses examined as to her chat aaer.
The Coulir highly applauded the concluet of Mr.
Baxter. the pawn-broker, and remarked, that they
were sorry to find the generality of his trade, who
came before that Court, endeavoured to prevent
justice ; but Mr. Baxter, and a kw more men like
him, would not only do credit to their calling, but
be of the M 33: material usia in the furtherance of
justice.

she went to the other counter to serve them, and
left the Prisoner folding up the kerseymere, which
he had paid her for. When he had done folding
