(EXTRACT OF A LETTER.)

" CUXHAVEN, Nov. 25.—This will be the last op-
portunity I shall have of writing to you by the
packets from the Elbe, as an order has been received,
that none in future should come here from England,
and the only remaining packet (the Diana, 'Cat:
STEWART, a Schooner) is ordered to proceed frotn
hence to Husum. The British Agent very pru-
dently determined, that the last Mail from Eng-
land should not be tbrwarded to Hamburgh, attd
he took the precaution of putting it on board
the Schooner, until he should receive some po-
sitive instralions regarding it from Mr. Ttioior-
TON, the British Minister, who afler narrowly
escaping from the French, cumin in Danish
Holstein, until he shall be able to determine on
the place of his residence, in the novel and
gular predicament of Continental affairs. One of
the late instances of Gallic treachery respeEled
the posts; a positive assurance was given, that all
he Mails might pass and repass through Ham-
burgh,. without the smallest molestation from the
French, Government, and the British post was par-
ticularly distinguished as in the most perfect secu-
rity. The fakt,. hotC7ever, has been otherwise ; a
very few of last Tuesday's letters have arrived
here; all those addressed to Merchants appear to
have been opened, and there is not a single letter of
Friday last which has been permitted to escape ; the
whole post has been-detained, so that all you 'will
receive on your side, of this date, consists of some
dispatches from Mr-. THoRNToN, and ot4er coromu-
DiCatiOlai from the British consult,

• ota save 'alreadyfien apprlse . coz-
itthiniate hypocrisy pra&ised by Al; BoVicriVNi'is,
until the vulture vas in a situation to iiOurice upon
his prey---,the curious scene .of deception I:va's
ininated t.), a present of a sideboard of plateto thir
French Minister, and Of valuable jewels to his Lady;
as an indicatiOn of the ardent gratitude of a gend-
rous and opulent city, which, in imminent danger,
had bein.proteed by his kind offices. While the
srfeps of his portal were yet marked by the feet
.of
the beater's of these presents, General MORTIEM
entered the place, and reduced it to a condition of
ignominious, dependence. It would shock the feel-

ings of every man acquainted with the dignity and,
chlraCier of a merchant, to see some of the most
.wealthy and respe&able in this city, foLowed to
-the public Exchange, and even into the houses of

theii-:most intimate friena, by an armed soldier;
who i dirtied to fire upon them if ►hey attempt

to escape. Six days have now expired 'since the
French took complete possession of Hamburg-h.,
and every libui the net has been gradually dr4wing
closer, •so as to render escape from the city almost
impossible; many 'Gentlemen are here, who, with-
out an article of baggage or linen, took a tavour
able opportunity of passing the Altona gate, which
is yet open, and under the pretence ofd morning's
walk; escaped the hordes of soldiers, commissaries,

and vies, with which all the avenues of the city have
been crowded. It is by these means lam enab ed
to write to you from this place, in the ne,ighbour-
hodd of which the French are every day colieding.

Among the favourite diverSions of the' Ham-
burghers are the public walks in the neighbourhood
of the city which are kept in order at consider-
able eipence. Here the French Officers, mounted
on their chargers, have intruded contrary to esta-

blished custom, and. even ladies of distimaion at
their windows are insulted by the familiar notice of
these-tinselled foreigners.• RAINvII.LE, a French
Inn-keeper at Ottensen, was AidL--de-canip to Do-
MoURtEa, and was the Officer employed to arrest
'BOURNONVILLE and the other Commissioners from
Paris, at the commencement of the Revolution,
This person and an Italian Prince were accidental-
ly announced to M. MO= Eit at the same time in
his saloon of audience. The General, instead of
paying his first attention to the dignified Italian,
advanced to R.AiNviLLE, took him by the hand,
entered into familiar conversation with him, and
then turned to the Prince with a cold apology fOr
not having observed that his Highness was pre
sent. These circumstances would deserve no re-
gard, otherwise than as they expose the groisness,
severity, and, I may say, brutality, to be appre-
hended in all ranks of these marauders, from the
highest to the lowest. Numerous circumstances,
all of them incidental to the present war, rtiu:.l in-
volve this venerable city in absolute destruction. he
general bankruptcy in all tke-cominercial towns of
Pinssia, Brandenburgh, and Silesia, are among the'
most conspl.cuous of these causes, as this port was
the dhannel through which their demands were
supplied. Add'to this, the immense hurthen im-
posed by a numerous French ganison at free quar-
ters ; the extravagant contributions required to sa-
tiare The rapacity of the new proprietors, and the an-
nihilation ut all confidence, winch caw never be
restored while Hawburgh is dependent , upon the
controul of NAPOLEON. These calamities are not
Confined to Efamburgh; they are extended ever a
tract of country whiCh has been the theatre of war,
bounded on one side by an imaginary line, reaching
from Frankfort to Denmark; and on the other, by
the Baltic Sea and the Northern Ocean—Berlin, the
new'capital of these domains of BONAPARTE, by
the absurdity 'of its founder, was raised in the
midst of a barren and inhospitable desert; the
misery of famine was one day experienced in. that
city and the inhabitants were without bread.-;:--
-To alleviate this dreadful evil in various parts of
the conquered territory, the granaries of Hamburgd
are pouring forth their stores, and that city will
experience the fatal consequences of its new con-
nexions. The future projects of BONAPART2
are, perhaps, not less gigantic than those which
he has ,`so recently accomplished. It is expe6ted
every hour, that the French was to pass the Danish
frontier, and enter Altona ; and it is agreed by the '
Court of Denmark, that no opposition should be -
given, in consequence of a • threat from General
IVIORTIER, that if a single trigger be drawn by
the Danish troops, that beautiful city would ;be
exposed to 'pillage. From Altona, the design is,
to proceed through the Duchy of Holstein to the
Streigin's of the Baltic, distinguished by the name
of the Belts, which during a -severe winter can be
passed over on the ice, and day this expedient, pos-
session may be taken of the Capital of CHRISTIAN
the SEVENTH. All these schemes are- auxlliary to
one grand object, the exclusion of the British
Traders from the Sound, and the complete es,a,
blishment of the authority of the Conqueror from
the coast of Norway to the shores of the Bos-
phorus. Yours, &c."
" P.S. About seventy vessels, some of them dmpped
down from Elamburgh, others detained by orders
from the Commodore, are now otf this harbour.—
They are to proceed to England with the first fair
wind ; asgun was fired this morning from 1.1 dim-
able Frigate for their departure ; but the wind shift-.
ing, they yet continue in the Roads."

DUBLIN, Nov.

M. WHITE having declined giving any further
trouble by continuing the Poll for the County of
Dublin, • Mr. HAMILTON and Colonel FALKINER

accordingly chaired through different par:s•of the

course of persons of every description ; add, ac-
cording to the custom of the country, threw money
in every diredion. They were seated in the same
chair, which was drawn by the people. Colonel
FALKINER was dres.ied in full uniform.
A Duel had nearly taken place between a Noble
Marquis and Mr. JOHN CALCLoUGII, one' Of the
