WAR WITH DENMARK.

On Tuesday evening the Lords of the Admiralty
issued orders to oar 14 and MOO so all vessels
under Danish colours. The order was received at
Deal on Wednesday morning. and immediately
communicated to the Commanders of cruisers, etc.
on that station. The cutter and launch of the
fine-ship were accordingly inanaed, and dispatched
to the back of the Sands. The L.rpis,iim bomb, and
MoiNte y gun-brig, also sailed to the eastward, and
several small Danish vessels wese detained in the
Downs in the course of the day. The -&rev► gun.
brig sailed from the Nore for the same purpose, and
the order was executed also at Portsmouth, under
the direCtions of Admiral Moor co, the Port
Admiral. The number of Danish vessels at the
latter place is, however, inconsiderable ; but we un-
derstand that there are a great many in our eastern
pins. A fine Danish East Indianian, of about 700 tows
burden, richly laden, passed through the Downs, to
the Eastward, on Monday ; but she has probably
fallen, before this time, into the possession of some
of our cruisers. Hostilities may be, therefore, con-
sidered as actually commenced against Denmark.

sure we are left to conjefture. The Order was is-
sued on Tuesday immediately after the breaking op
of the Council, which sat upon Mr. Paotossav's
dispatches ; but the dispatches brought by Mr. Do-
SALMON and Mr. Fiscus*, who arrived late on
Monday night, were also probably taken into consi-
deration at the Council, and may also have contain-
ed some evidence of an hostile spirit on the part of

The ;wended jmaion between rvlar:hal Berna-
dotte and Marshal Ney, the former of whom match-
ed in the uight between the '24th and 25:h from
Elbing, has been interrupted en the tetreat of the
latter :rear Mohringen, in consequence of the cepe-
ditious and unezraed arrival of the combined
kulsian and Prussian corps. In the enemy's retreat,
near Mohringen, Liebstadt, and Saaltel it, 4000 of
them were talon prisoners, ten pieces of cannon,
and two stands of colours, as well as the whole
baggage of Marshal Bernadotte. Tile brave Lieu-
tenant-Gen. Von Anrepp, however, cf tile Russian
corps, has been killed by a musket-ball.
" Marshal Bernadotte has been driven hack, by
the persevering advance of our forc..F, into the
forevs of Strasburg, 20 leagues from Kitting ; and
Mararal Ney to Przasnicz, in New East Prussia.
The former is completely surrounded; but the latter
has joined l'rince Murat, and the Combined Army
will shortly give them battle. The Russian Army
is commanded by the General in Chief Von Ben-
nigsen, and consists of ten divisions, or of upwards
of 200,000 men, which will be joined, in a fortnight,
by I iettmlnn Macon. with 20 pieces of riding ar-
tillery, and 30,000 Cossacks.

mated by the same spirit, officers and men are kcpt
together, have the same appellation, and are united
by the closest oonnedion ; orders are distributed
with ease and rapidity, which produces prompti-
tude of movement and energy of aflion.
From the ex imples we have had before us, we
ought to remove the bandage from our eyes, and
attend to our military system, which will admit of
very material improvement. We have myriads of
men in arms, but an infinitely smaller number, un-
der a ready acquiescence to military arrangement,
would be mote advantageous to the State. It is of
no great importance whether there be four or five
squadrons to a regiment of cavalry ; or two or three
battalions to a regiment of infantry ; /et it were
better that the regiments were all equally construd-
ed. At any rate, it is very essential, that the squa-
drons and battalions should be similarly composed
throughout the army. The formation from squa-
drons and battalions should rise gradually into bri-
gades, divisions, and corps, of eighteen thousand
men each, with a powerful Staff, permanently at-
tached to each corps. A similar m role of torn
should be instituted for every description c! force,
whether Militia or Volunteers, and r'icy should
rise progressively into corps of nine thousand men.
—They cannot be made so handy in large bodies as
the tertiary. There is no occasion to .tart at this
system of formation. It is a mere miner of ar-
rangement, and cm be accomplished with foe ut-
most facility. What an advantage it would be
to have the whole army, but partieu'arly at this
moment in Ireland, divided into zorps, baring tha
apprllation of the different Generals •pp rioted to
command them, and adding under their immediate
aucpices, stationed in central positions, ready to
move on he emergency in all directions. The
Commander-in-Chief would be relieved from the
minutia and detail of these corps ; and his mind
would be solely employed upon the general prin-
ciple of command and action Thus the whole bu-
siness of the army might be conducted with iafinite
facility, and without those tedious communications
which arise from that mode of formation and admi-
nistration, that now exists, and retards every military
operation.
Marshal Saxe extols the superior valour and
steadiness of the British infantry, at the battle of
Fontenoy, and I am convinced that every Briton
has intrinsically the same spirit and courage
now as ever. The soldiers of this country are just
such as they are made to be ; and if well formed,
well trained, and have able officers to command
them, there is little doubt of their alivity and ar-
dour.

But is my humble opinion, wa should imitate the
French formation in corps, which hes greatly con-
tributed to the success of their And altho'
the science of war cannot • sauced to mere me-
chanical principles, yet the completer the machine
is constructed, which is to aft against the enemy,

the less embarrassment will arise to the General
who is to condo& it. ARRIAN.

IRREGULAR MARRIJOLS.

The Provincial Synod of Ilene and. reviotdale
met at Kelso; on 'Tuesday last. when as appropriate
sermon was preached by Mr. Chalmers, Minister
of Islnrdingron, from Ads, chap. 5, verses U
and 39. The Synod then made choice of Mr.
David flogarth, Minister of Makersttm, to be their
Moderator for the ensuing half year. There was
no business of importance before the Synod. except-
ing a reference for advice from the Kirk Session
and Presbytery of Ktlso, respelling a marriage,
which. being found not only irregular but ille-
gal, the Synod advised these Courts um to confirm.
It is earnestly to be wished, that the Civil Judica-
ture of the country would en-operate with the Eel
clesiastical, and interpose their legal authority to
prevent the cm-prevailing practice of irregular and
clandestine marriages, which being oftentimes
found-pd on rashness, are prodneive, for the most
part. of guilt, strife, and unavailing regret.

This rause came oa• to be heard noon bid and
answer, and the lAN were nearly as inflow
the year 1791. shortly after the Plainaff was ad-
vanced to the Bishopsielc, a proposal was made to
him for the purchaser of one-ninth share of a lead
mine. called Werdale Mine, in the county of
Cumberland, to which the Plaintiff, as Bishop of
Durham, Was itaidleJ. This proposal was made
by the Steward of the Defendants from whose re-
ptesentations the Bishop was induced to enter into
an agreement with the Defendant for the purchase
of the said slime, at the annual rent of 0251. 'llse
present bill complained, that the Plaintiff had been
led to enter into this agreeme at eretircly through the
1 misrepresentations of the Defendant's Steward, with
respeifi to the value of the prodna of this mines and
that the proptirtion which should have come to his
shale amounted to between 60 and 70,0001. and
therefor. prayed, that the said agreement should be
set aside, and :hat an account of the issues and profits
should be taken, Ste.
. The Sotactroe-Gensats te and Mr. M•RTIN,

icrua and profi• arising from the mine itself, since
toe time of entering into the agreement, it was
evilent. that the Bisaop had been deceived by these
msrepresentations, and was, therefore, entitled to
the pe ayes of his Bill.
The Arvoastav-G • s for the Defendant.
contended, that, in as touch as the Plaintiff 'tad
full time and opportunity of mining into the
matter, before he entered into the agreement, it
could not stow be cod, that any fraud had been
praßis J upon him ; hut, on the contrary, it was
in evidence, that Bishop Tnuriow, of whom the
present Plainteff
,was the immediate successor,
rented this miae, at ab•tut 8301. per annurn. and
his predec asnr. at only 3001. per annum, so that
the utmost value was computed, at the tone of the
agreement. He therefore contended, that, upon
these grounds, the Bill should be dismissed ; nr, at
tne least. an issue should be &retied, to try what
were tise afturl issues and profits.
After hearing s me of the evidence read, the
further hearing of the cause was peastisoned.

CHARGE OF MURDER.
Yesterday morning, Carpmeal and William
Smith arrived in town with a Spaniard in their cu,-
tody, from the Ahrwiri Ca:II. Last Indiaman, lying
in Long Reach. charged nn suspicion of the wilful
murder of a seaman of the name of Burnt, at Can-
ton, in China, in December Last. He underwent a
private examination before Mr. Roan.

The following particulars transpired the
month of December last, the East Indiaman the
.llnivirk Curter, commanded by Captain Prescott,
was at Canton, in China, where a number of the
crew had liberty to go on shore ; among them was
the prisoner, Willirm Burne, and a number of
wirers. They all got some liquor to drink, near the
English Fadury, when a quarrel arose, and the
Prisoner struck Burne, and several others, with a
stick, but in the general scuffle which ensued, it was
wrested Irons him. He then drew a pocketAnife,
and made a stab at Berm" who avoided it by
running backwards. The Prisoner followed him,
and made a second stab, when the knife entered his
body, near the groin. One of the other men at-
tempted to take the knife from the Prisoner, when
he made a desperate though ineffeaual thrust at
him ; the thrust was given with so much force, that,
missing the man, it entered a board, and remained
in it. The Prisoner then ran off, and jumped into
a river, where he was pursued sad secured. Burne
languished ;bout two days, and then died of the
wound he bad received.

ill at Grantham, proceeded no farther on his journey;
but after he left the coach, he recolliffed seeing a

hand, and observed to the other passengers, that he
thought it contained money, as it was direeted to a
Banker, and that it was every careless way of send-
