WEDNESDAY) FENWARY 17, 1808.

Tms morning two Gettenburgit Mails arrived
their contents will be found in a subsequent Colurnit.

WE must beg leave to call the particular atten-
tion of our Beaders to the Notes which passed be-
tween ;he Danish Charge d'Affaires, M. Rtsr, and
Lord Howecx, which will be found in our preced-
ing-coluMns, because they afford most decisive proof
of the hostile disposition of the-Danes towards this
Country, and of the perfect conviaion in the minds
of the lite Ministers that Denmark, though pro-
fessing a strict neutrality, was really attached to
France. .:Ihe Note from Al; HIST to Lord Ho-
wick is dated the Oh of March, 1807, and is an
Answer to 'a Note froth his Lordship, containing
a Copy of the Order in Council of the 7th of
January. It is hardly necessary to state, that
our Order in Council of January, 1807, was in-,
tended as a species of mitigated retaliation for
the extraordinary Decree issued by the French Go-
vernment in the Preceding Novembur, for putting
the British Islands in a state of blockade. It is fins
possible to read this Note Without being fully con-
vinced of the intimate connection subsisting between
Denmark 'and France, because the greatest paini
are taken in this' Note, and that too in language
frequently approaching to, insult, to throw upon
this Country the blame of all the restrictions im-
posed upon Neutral ComMerce, although it was
obvious that the restriaions imposed tiy the British
Government were caused by the French Decree of
Nov. 1306, a Decree which, in our opinion, 'called
for a much stronger measure of retaliation than the
Orders of Council of January, 1807. Could the
Court of Denmark believe that, with a' Navy supe-
rior to that of the united world,. Great Britain would
sillier herself to be placed in a state of. blockade by
France, without adopting measures of retaliation ? or

did that Court think that Neutrals, w ho submitted with-
Out a murmur to the extravagiint and unprecedented
Decrees of France, had a right to clamour iigainst
every measure of mitigated retaliation on the part of
Great •Betiairt NVlictt the famous Decree of Nov.
dOn, was issued, by v,tcll BUONAPARTa lorbid all
Nelltfali to trade with this Country, and condenined
to conlhcation all Neutral Ve;syls having British
nierchandize on board, did a.:ninark chew any dis-

position. to resist, or even to remonstrate against
this 'violation of 'her rights as a Neutral, and
this of her Commerce
the moment Great Britain adJpted a very lenient
measure, in consequence of that Decree, then
Denmark, with-singular consistency, accused her Of
violating the rightS of Neutrals. '' Denmark," say&
lits-r, " is almost -exclusively in possession of
the coasting trade of
,the different Ports which will
henceforward be Out agiitut them ;" that is to say,
in other words, " Great Britain has, by her naval
superiority, completely annihilated the. Coasting
Trade between tbe Ports of France, Spain, and
Aolland, in French, Dutch, and Spanish Ships, and
we, the Danes, a Neutral ' Power, and bound by
that Neutrality not to atiord any assistance to either
of the Belligerent Powers, will carry on the whole
co:l6o4'track of France, Spain, Holland ter
4ben), and render the naval supetiority of Great
Britain useless. France Inlay, if she pleases, inter-
did all trade between Neutrals and Great Britain ;
she May make prize of Neutral Ships if they have
anY British goods on board, but if Great Britain. re-
fuses to lot us carry on the trade of her enemies for;
them, then' our rights are vielated, and we must
resist her tyranny."

Such is, the real substance of the language held by
Denmark in March 1807, and 11 Denmark twill-
tested that decided partiality for France when the
ENPEROR of 111154,1 was at war with France, when
iut,.. of the Campaign in Poland was still doubt•.
IA and when the KING of SwitnEN WO3 in possession
of Stralsund, could any man possessed of counnon in-
tellects entertain u doubt respecting the conduct that
Denmark would pursue when the KING of SWEDEN
was dispossessed of Stralsund, and when the Eat-
peror ALL>;ANDER was converted from the decided
enemy into the humble instrument of BUONAPARTE.
Did Lord fioWict, did the late Administratior4 en,
tertain a donbt respecting the disposition of Dou.
mark ? No.—We appeal to Lord Howick's own
language, and we cannot suppose that he would have
written so ;important a Note without the .know-
ledge and consent of his Colleagues. Lord Ho-
wick accused Denmark, in the most ungtittivoty.ll
terms, of Manifesting a decided partiality-fcr Franc'e.
Ile retninds RIST, that if on the one Intnd Neu-

I rats nave
TlantS, to n):11i1I3111, on. theother, they have
duties to perform : be lens him that it is the duty of
a Neutral, non interponere- se hilt), non hostesimmi-
nente hoston eripe.e : he chargei Dcnipark with
suffering France to violate' her neutral rights in the
grossest manner, without a -murmur, while she
loudly complained of Great Britain whenever. she ,
adopted any measure of retailiation ; and as .a still
farther proof of her attachment to France, he
states, that' when the TroopS of the Allies ap-
proached the Frentiers of Holstein, the Danish
`Troops always ADVANCED when the French
:Troops approached, they always RETREATED.
Such was the opinion entertained by the late Mini-
_
stersof Denmark, and such were the Charges which
they preferred against her when the Emperor Atax-
*Nona was engaged in a War with France, and had
.used all his efforts to induce Denmark to join in the
Confederacy; and yet they now talk of the desire of
Denmark to maintain her neutrality, and declaim
against the present Administration for susnetaing her
intentions, and taking effetittal means to render her
enmity' impotent.
There is another point of view in which the Note
of Lord Flowtch: is of great impOrtance; we mein
with regard to the Orders in Council lately issued
by the British Government. Lord HOWICK,
find terms, asserts (of course with the knowledge'
and consent of his colleagues), that his Majesty bad,
in consequence of the French Decree of November,
18Q6,.an undoubted right to place-France, and all the
countries occupied 'by her, in a state of blockade ;
and yet now it suits the purposes of a party to repre-
sent a measure much less rigorous, as a violation of
the rights of Neutral Nations.

'A report was yesterday circulated in the City
that a :Flag of Truce had arrived from FranCe, but
it appears to have been wholly without foundation.

Vire are sorry to state that the Flora Frigate, Capt.
BLAND, is on shore near Scheyelling, with little
hopes of her being got off. The Officers and Crew
orb however save.!.

The advices from the Coast state, that thirteen
Ships were drove on shore between Yarmouth and
Lowestoffe, some off Searborough, several near Liver-
pool, and other Ports of the Western Coast ; the
Ravensworth, from ,Sunderland to London, is cast
away near Harwich, and six persons perished.

The new duties will be of 'such a nature as`
scarcely to be felt by the Public. It is Said that
brandies ara to pay an additional duty of Bd. on itn-
pot t, and t Gd. on export ; 101. per to is to be added
on'all wines exported; and salt is to "Say 25. tid4er
bushel on being exported.
So vigorously has BuorrAPAterc persisted.in cutting
off all communication with England, that not a
single letter was suffered to be brought over by the
Flag of Truce Vessel which returned from Calais on
Mondays
The following are the circumstances of the seizure
ora French Officer at Falmonth, to which we have
before alluded :--7Thet American Schooner Hope,
Captain Josits, with brandy'and wine, from Bout-
deaux, bound to New Yolk, was detained some
time since by the Afars Privateer, Falmouth, on
suspicion of having enemy's property on board,
-and after trial in the Court of Admiralty,*was order-
ed :,to he .restored on payment of the Captor's costs.
Biti=:.:;last week infortnatioti was given to the
Own&s. of the Mars, thit a trunk belonging to
VonsfoUr,BoYEß, n Frenehnian, Passenger in the
Hope, and who pretended to be a Clerk to a House
at New York, containing Papers of importance,
was concealed in a particular spot on board the
Hope. A search consequently took place; the trunk
was found in the place described ; and on the keys be-
ing demanded, he, after some shuffling, denied any
knowledge of it. On breaking: it open, it was foUnd
to contain dispatches from the Minister for Foreign
Affairs in France, to the: -Officers commanding .at
Guadaloupe, and Martinique, and also many other
letters, some of which were addressed to the care
of Mon4enr Bovsa. The trunk also contained a
rich military suit of &Apes, with every necessary ag-
pendage thereto. The dispatches were very preper-
ly sent to London, for the inspielion of his Majesty's
Ministers; and a Government Messenger has since
been at Falmouth, andtaken Monsieur Boyne and
his papers oil- for London. The Captain end Mon-
sieur BoyEtt both swore, on their examination,
when the Hope first arrived at Falmouth, that the
papers then produced by them Were all that were
on board the Hope, and the Captain, on being asked
asked for informatioo respe&ing his passenger, stated
him to be some " pour devil; who, from a wish to
avoid the conscription, was 'leaving France to seek
employment in America. " But it now appears, that
Monsieur BoYca was carried on board the Hope at
Bourdeaux in the barge of the French Frigate Pene-
lope, with 'a particular reneeSt from the Captain of
the Frigate, to C twain .crew, to be attentive to his
passenger, and there is no doubt of Itis being an
Officer in the French service.

companies of all ranks, and proved to be the best

displays a numerous list •of capital and smaller Prizes
floating in the Wheel, and it .ensures a superior
chance to those who buy before the Drawing begihs.
HORNSBY and Co. likewise find that the Clubs have
increased ten-fold; which is-a sure criterion of tlfor
solidity of the Scheme. HORNSBY and Co. ware
fortunate last year in sharing a, large proportion of
Capital Prizes, and hope to supply their friends with
a good seleaion on the present occasion.
