DANISH SHIPS.

Lord SIDMOUTH • was under the necessity of again
calling the attention of their • Lordships to the
Papers for which had moved on a former occasion;
respecting the detention of Danish Ships previous to
the declaration,of hostilities against Denmark, and
the condemnation of those Ships subsequent to that
declaration. On a closer examination of the Papers,
which- were laid on the table yesterday, he found
that no return had been made to two of their Lord-
ships' orders=-that which regatde,d the number of
Ships detained .before the declaration of War against
Denmark, and that which regarded the number of
Danish..subjedts detained before- that declaration.—
He had seen, indeed, a letter trom the Tleasury to
the Transport Board, skating "the order by Which the
'return of the numberof prisorter4 was required ; :but
no exact return had been wade to that order, WOO
the-answer was,uot Stilt back forHsix days after the
