LONDON, JANUARY 19, 1801.

ON Friday night the Frigate arrived
in Torbay, with a Dispatch from Sir HENRY
flAavey to the Earl ofIST. ViNetc,x-r, stating
that the Combined Fleet in Brest 11 trbour, to the
uurnber of Fifty.two Sail, 'were 'ready for Sea,
and, that on Thursday last Ten Sail a the Line
made an attempt to put to Sea, but our Fleet
appearing, the Enemy's Squadron took. shelter in
a Bay dote to Brest.

Dv our Port Letters received this morning, we
learn, that in con,,ectuence of Orders from the Ad-
miralty Board to tite. Adaiirak conunand;ng at
the Our-ports, every Ship and Vet,,el of 'War fit
to put to sea, has sailed, with orders to stop all
Swedish, Danish, and Russian Vessels, and bend
them t'or English Pori.s. Some hare in come-
(pence been takep, at:dire already at rived.

No- intelligence has reached .us since Siturdayl,
ft-Olu_Cernr.vtyQ frgrp France. Affairs are 4i,
(teed, p such ?t state on the Continent, that we
have, ri6 room to expea any

That which is at p-resent most calculated to ex-
cite our curiosity, and which has the nearest,
though an indirea, connaion with our interests,
is the new 9uarrel which there seems every reason
to believe the.l..mPEitoa orßusstA is seeking
with the Pbßiii. The 'scuffle which took place
in Con,timthropiei has no doubt' .been a pre-
tence-.sought for the purpose; or, if it has been •
accidental, it is'of too much value for the present
Rwsian. Government, to suffer it to• escape.--
Doubtkt.s the EER'Olt, PAUL. is a Prince of a
greatly ambitious mind. He announces the plan
of at once attacking the ancient 'enemies of Rus.
-sia, the. Turks, and-the new :enemies with whom
he has chosen to embroil Ills Subjcas, the English.

t will not.be matter for surprize, that, we consider

the talents, as well as the Ilower.of PAUL, as
very unequal to the'two-fOld undertaking. The
'lurks will not, we agree, throw any great ob-
stacles io his way by land; but. tie English Flag
may expose tim to diffieniticA in the. Black Sea,
whichTay retard his progress, or make him pay
dearly. for it._ He will probably have still less
fair play against us at the other maritime ,ex-
tremity of his Empire ; and it _.stems highly
probable, that before the end of the year, which
begins this Century, PAL will have reason .to
regret that he ever abandoned the Politics he
pursued in 1799, blindly to adopt those which

the .Cabinet of.the Thudieries have marked gut
fur him: ' • •

We wait with impatience, to know what of
the Proclamation of His MAJ ES imposing an
Embargo on 'all Russian, Danish, and Swedish
Vessels, has had on the Continent. •

When Ocean sought his n:Ative bed,
Emerging from the shrinking main,
Rear'd many a mountain Isle its head -
Encircled with a billowy zone,

Hating the fane where Freedom sat enshrited,
Grasping at boundless Empire o'er mankind,
Behold, from Susa's distant towers,
The Eastern Despot sends his mighty powers.
Grecia, through all her rocky coaar, -
Astonish'd views the, giant 'host.
Not the fam'd Strait by blee'ciingHeroes barred,
Nor Cecrops' walls;her lialloW'd altars guard ;
While each bold inmate of Use Isles ,
On Inroad's baffled ellirts smiles;
From every Port, with cheating sound,
Swells the, vindiaive Paean round,
And Salamis proud; from her sea-girt shore,
Sees o'er the hostile Fleet the indignant surges roar.
