men, about tso in number, which had been so
long colletted here for the \Vest Indies, Lisbon,
&c. sailed with a fine breeze at N. under convoy
of His Majesty's Frigates Syren, Capt. Goa.DON,
Pherhe, Captain BARLOW, accompanied by the
Dryad, Capt. MANSFIRLD, to a certain lati.
rude. We are sorry to learn, that the five fol-
lowirtg Ships, viz. the Robert, and the Stetanna, of
Liverpool ; the Martha Brae, and the UPPIOn, of
Bristol, and the Peggy, of Glasgow, run aground
in getting out of Harbour, and have lost the
Convoy.

The number of Danish and Swedish vessels,
upon which an embargo has been in our har-
bour, amounts tO Six ; vitz. one Da:lish ship (an
East Indianian), a brig, and a sloop ; and one
Swedish brig and two galliots.

Letters from ComModore Sir EDWARD PE L.-
Ltw's Squadron, stationed off Brest, dated the
loth instant, state, that the French Squadron,
which has twice-attempted to get: clear out, is
now lying at single anchor in Cormorant Bay,
which is said to be more favourable for sailing
than. the Road of Bresi: It ‘consista.of nine Sail
of the Line, two Frigates, a large Store Ship,
and some Transports, having on board a con-
siderable sum of Money, with one of the Chief
Consul's Brothers, and 3506
,Troops, under the
command of Admiral VILLARET JOYEUSE.
The Schooner Liitiely, Johnson, from Halifax,
for Liverpool, was driven on shore in a severe'
gale of wind on the 23d inst. near the.Ormsheads,
on the Coast of Wales, and all the crew lost ex-
cept the Captain, who was picked up when nearly
drowned. It is hoped the vessel and cargo will
be saved,LOn the following day a vessel was
ridi at anchor about half a mile iron thence
wither masts cut away and firing guns of dis-
. tress, •but no boat could go to her assistance, it
blowing so violently ; another vessel was riding
out the gale near Conway, to whom boats •had
gone out.
The Barbara, Gardner, from the Southern
Fishery to London, is captured by the Spaniards,
'and carried into Guaquil, Coast of South Ame-
rica.

The Annabella, Oliver, from St. Kitt's to
London, is captured by a French Privateer, and
on shore near Brest ; expeeted to be got off.
The Valiant, Tucker, from Falmouth to
Venice, is totally lost near Venice.
The Neptune, Coleburg, from Dantzig to Ber-
wick, is captured and carried into Ostend.
The Cardillo, Varlien, from London to Naples,

A few nights since, a Watchmaker's house at
Gravesend was broken open ; the thief entered
at the cellar window. It appeared that he had
failed in endeavouring to open the door which led
to the shop, and the family being alarmed, the
watchmen assembled, who, on searching the pre_
miles, found that the offender had left behind him
one good silver watch, not however belonging
to the shopkeeper, but his emus ; it having been
discovered hanging by the chain on a nail in the
cellar window, supposed to have been drawn from
the fob of the thief in making his hasty retreat.

STATE PAPERS.

NOTE TRANSMITTED BY MR. DRInIMONn 140 THE
DANISH MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS,
DATED 27TH DEC. 1800. '

Tait Court of London,
,informed that Denmark is car.
rying on with activity NegOliations very hostile to the in.
terests of the British Empite, thinks that it" cannot better
WWI tlie.duties which such a circumstance prescribes,
than by addressing itself directly to the Minister of 'His
Danish Majesty, to demand from him a frank and sat'''.
lacloyy explanation.

- - -
Inall the Courts of Europe they speak openly of a
Confederacy between Demme& and some other Powers,
to oppose by riuec the exercise of those principles of Ma.
riiimc Law on which the Naval Power of the British
Empire in a grent measure-rests, and which in all Wais
have been followed by the Maritime States, and acknow.
ledged by their Tribunals.

Ills Britannic Majesty, relying with confidence upon
the loyalty of Nis Danish Majesty, and upon the taith of
the Engagements recently contracted between the two
Cotot's, has not deinandecl fiorn tan any explanation on
this head. It was his wish to wait for the moment when
the Court of Denmark should think it its duty to contra-
diet those reports, so injurious to its good and so
little compatible with the maintenance of the good under- •
standing which had been re-established between the two
Countries.

At Present the -conduit and the public declaration of
one of the Powers, which it prcte:uied have entered into
this gonfriicracy,do not permit lot Xl:ijesty to preserve
any longer towards the re 4t the saint: stictue whica he has
hitherto obberved.
The Undersigned, therefore, finds himselfbound to de.
mand from His Excellency Count de Bernstorif, a_plain,
open, and satisfactory answer on the nature,
_obJett, and
extent of the obligations Adlich His Dauishl4oesty- may
have contraaed or the Negotiations which he is aiming
on with respect to a matter which so nearly concerns the
dignity of liis Britannic Majesty, and the interests of kiis
People.

. . _ . .
His Britannic Majesty, always rowdy to tettrin all the
marks of friendship which he may receive on the pan of
His Danish Majesty, hopes to find, in the 3121wer of the
Court of Copi:nnagen to thia request, only a ACK occasion
of rnanifestint these dispositions.

In transmitting this Note to M. the Secretary of Silty,
the Umiersigned avails himself; with pleasure, of this
opportunity, to assure hirn of the high cohsideration with
which he has the Honour to be,
His very humble and very obedient Servant,
W. DRUMMOND.

NOTE IN, ANSWER.
The Undersigned Secretary of State for Foreign Affain,
having given an account to the King his !mister, of the ixnt»
tents of the Note,which Mr. Drummond has done hint the
honour to transmit to him on the 27th instant, is atithorizq '
cd to return the Answer which follows ; .
The Court of London must have received very incorrect
. information, to have been able for a moment to presume
that Denmark hid conceived projeCts hostile against it, or
incompatible with the maintentince of the good wider,
standing which subsists between the two Crowns; and
the King is very much ohliged to His Britannic Majesty,
for having furnished him with the opportunity at' contra,
(titling, in the most positive manner, reports as illlfotilid-
ed, as contrary to his most decided sentiments. -
The Negotiation which is carrying on at St. Petersburgh
between-Russia, Prussia, Sweden, and Denmark, has no,
other ohjeZt than the renewal of the Engagements which, •
in the years 1780 and 17111, were contratted 'by the 'same
Powers, for the safety of their Navigatinn, and of which';
communication was at that time made to all the Count; $4
Europe.
His Majesty, the. Emperor of 'KUssia,' having proposed
to the Powers of the North to re.cstsblish these Edine.t
merits in their original Corm, )entnark has so OVA 1119
'Nis hesitated to consent to it. as, IV 1191 A 11*,114 CVO,
.ruin aloned the principles proleriscd in ;As, she has
it her duty to Maintain them, and claim ;his 'CI
"cccAsions,.4llCl not allow herself to ad flO ill eg
them, any other modifications than those ' 'tegu
0 t do:
train her
-Treaties, with the Belligerent Powers.
Very far from wishing to interrupt those Powers in the
Exercise of Rights which ttic- %Vat gives thern. Dvtitturrit
introduces into the Negotiation with her AlliCS. Milt but
views absolutely defensive, pzcific, and incapable of fr,
ing offence or, provocation to any one. The 4tigm • _
she will make will be founded upon the strictest 101.1
went* of the duties of Neutrality, and of the obligations
which her Treaties impose upon hers and If she wishes tp
shelter her innocent Navigation from she tnanifelt abuse*
and Violence which the Maritime War ptodtices but to
easily, she thinks She pays roped to the Belligerent
Powers by supposing, that, far tram wishing to authertte
or tolerate those abuses, they wßuld, on their skit, odor
measures best calculated to prevent or repress them.

Denmark has not made a swat to any ono, of ttie,ob..
jed of her Negotiation, upon the nature of which toms
suspicion has been infused into the Cott of Lopctop ; bul
she ha: not thought that she departed from the usual
farms, in wishing. to wait the definitive result of it, in
order to communicate an oiliciat account of it to the
Powers at War.

The Undersigned, not knowing that Any qf.the Permit
engaged in this Negotiatirm has magic a declaration, of
adopted measures rclativc,to its objett, at which Great
Britain might take offence or umbrage, cannot without
ulterior explanation reply to this poiot of Mr.. Druoi-
mond's Nttc.

Much less does he conceive in what respcft the engage,
meat taken by the previous Convention of the agth of
August last, can be considered as contrary to those which
Denmark is about to enter into with the Neutral and
United Powers of the North ; and in ail Ow in which
he shall find himself called upon to combat or remove
the doubts that shall have been conceived with lespett to
the good faith of the King, he shall consider his task to
be very easy, as long as tins goad faith shall bt
ducal into the reproaches or the suspicions advanced
az,ainst, His Majesty. He flatters himself that the I:ng-
lish Government, after having re.:CiVea the required
explanations, will have the !lankness to allow that the
provisional and moment:try abandonment, nut of a
principle, the question with reaped to which remained
undecided, but of a measure, whose right has never -been,'
nor over can be contested, cannot be found at,all in oppe...-,
sition to the general acid permanent principles, relative to
which the Powers of the North are upon the point of
establishing a co-operation, which, so far from being:
culated to compromise their Neutrality, is destined Only
to strengthen it

The Undersigned would fain believe OW thcseexplana.....
lions will appear satisfactory to the Court of London ;'
and that the latter will do justice to the intentions and
sentiments of the King, and particularly ,to His Majesty's'
invariable desire to maintain anti cement, by all the means
in his power, the friendship and good understandingwhiels
subsist between Denmark and Great Britain.

surance of his most distinguished consideration.

' The Scene lies upon the 'sea-cease of this eountr y.—
Torn Sturdy, One \ eteran Tar, is the Captain of an Lng-
, lish cutter, which was Wrecked in a storm, but fortunate-
ly' so ncaf the shore that the Captain and all the.-Crew
escape from the perils of the main: Philip. Sturdy, son
of the old Captain, after haying' with difficulty, climbed a
sock, arrives at the cottage of farmer, but
able to make any body heat .at the door, •he gets in at
the windoW.. The fanner (a huge feeder) is at thiS time
- very impatient for his supper, but being also droiwsy, he
falls asleep before it is. ready. Philip Sturdy, without
ceremony, helps himself to all the table. attOrcis, and
. Cicely, thefarmer'sdatigl)tcr-in-law, having brought the
supper, and• found the Farmer asleep, 'shares the repast
with the hungry Tar, -and both join in persuading the
Farmer, when he wakes, that he had devoured the food
`himself. The Fanner, having been tinder the care of a
Quack podpr,
.who had. recently phjukkid him into a
delirium, with some hesitation believes - their story,
though the craving of his appetite is :strongly in opposi-
, tion to it.—Old Sturdy, ignorant that his son had
- escaped the fury of the: storm is in great -anxiety., and
the son is equally uneasy respeding the fate of his father.
Philip ascends a rock, wile hope, that he may-be able
to descry his Father; -and in this situation; warbles a
strain suggested by -the recent storm, and the contrasted
serenity of theocean. The Old Man wanders near the
spot, and, struck by the voice of his son,.,imagines that he
Is deceived by supernatural sounds. At length they meet,
•and a very atrecting interview takes Place. It appears,
that Philip bad fallen in love with- Cicely, the Farmer's
step. daughter, tut Old Sturdy will not consent to let his
son, marry till' he has discharecd his duty to his Country.

the Fine concludes with the inteiid:A marriage of Philip'

The chief merit of this Piece is its adaptation
to the-state of the Country at.the present moment,
and its tendency to aniinare the oatrioiic feelings
Englishmen. If there is.notliing new, in the-
Fable or the CharaCters, there is a vigour and
'spirit in the dialogue, which is in that respeCt
above the ordinary run of such:Compositions :
,

propriate ; none them are extravagant, and
most of then:are .impressive.

which the' two latter are engaged, are hk no
means so well conceived as those which relate to
his honest Tars: Those charaCters, however,
though less- efficient, give the others a more
forcible influence by:contrast.
Several of the patriotic effusions were warmly
rived by the Audience, particularly one which
imported
,that the English Tafs would soon exert
their .prowess on the French, the Swedes, the
Danes, and the Russians.
The Piece was very well sustained, 'particu.
larly by young 1-SJOINTST ER) who played ~the Ve-

Young DE Came also distinguished himself very

That my fancy his pidur'd as quite to my mind;
His heart shall be open, hisAountenance too,
And lib'ral his hand, or he never will do :
In short, to convince me he's this thing and that,
My heart, when I see him; must bounce—pit-a-pat.

I care not fur cash, or for acres in stcirei
With a man that I lovel can never be poor ;
Nor with one I dennt can I 'happy be made,
Tho' I flaunted in sattins, in siiks, and brocade.
In short, I'll neter %lied in this world, and that's Hat,
Till my heart says—" he,"with a bounce--pit-a-rat.
