SOLt`.l QUIS LICERE PALSUM AUDEAT?

L 0 N D 0 N,
MONDAY, Ai%il I. 14, 1803.

WE hlve received Papers' from HOand to' the...9th

inst. but. they contain ad info; oration Tespe6ing the
changes which are about to take pliv:e in the Go-

vernrnent of that unfortunate Country. The pro-
. •ceedings of the Legislative Body.ate,lselit a profound
secret; bu't there is reason to suppose that it 'has
shown, some repugnance to comply with the man-
dates of BONAPARTE, brause if they had been fa-
• • vourably received by the Dutch Legishture, no time

would have heen jostin communicating the intelli-

Bence to the Public; If, however, BONAPARTE has
resolved. to annex Holland to France; or to form it
into a Kincgaom for one of his Family, the opposi-
tion of the existing Dutch, Goyernment will be of

little avail. ,He has already began to reinforce his

army in Holland, . and the next Papers will Most
probably bri 03 us the intelligence of a decisive_clwge
ilaring taken place. '

We this darlay: before zur_Reader3.a Letter writ-
ten by.count HARDENBUG, by_ order of his Pau
SIAN MAJEST Y, to the Government of Oe'Vcaorne
of Hanover. It is dated the 27th of Decembur2
is obvious that his PiIIjSSIIN MAJESTY had no inten-
tion at that time (at least he did not profess it) cf
. taking final poisession of the Ele&orate of Hahover
in his own name. . The langtrage of Count HAR-
•DE,NBERG is too distin& tO admit of any misinterpre-
tation. He states; that his PRUSSIAN MAJESTY was
to
.take possession of the Ele&orate of Hanover
" until the decision of its fate at A.General Peace."
He does not say one word about the rightful Posses-
sion ..of his Master, founded upon BONAPARTE'S.
Right of Conquest. It would 'beN a waste of time
to comment upon the ipconsistenCy,-to use no harsher
term, of the late policy of the Cabinet-6f Berlin. It
is, however; a satisfa&ion, though a melancholy one,
to know, that that policy, which has been so de-
struelive to the interests of Europe, has not been at-
*tended with any advantage to Prussia, and that, on
the contrary she has
,sunk from a first rate. Power,
holding the balance.of Europe hi her hands, into the
rank of one of thevassal States of France.

. The report of the Russians having taken posses-
sion of Warsitw'
.appears to havebeen,unfounded,

Wt received this morning Jamaica Papers to the
16th February. They do not bring any intelligence
,of importance. Admiral By CKWO gni was lying at
Port Royal with his prizes, which were expeaed soon
to sail for England. No other French Squadron had
been heard of in'those Seas.

Private Letters from the Continent' state, that
~BONipARTE has commenced Negotiation with the

-Court of Madrid, 'the obj.ea of which is, to induce
the KING of SPAIN to ct.le to France the whole
,of
the province of Catalonia to the, River Ebro, and
that Spain. is to be inderrinified with thy: Kingdom of
Portugal. , _

The British Troops evaculited Deeg on the j.eth
of Decethber, and oh the following day a small
Garrison of the. Troops ,of Rajah St i.icentered the
place. The number of runs have "been reduced,
and it is stipulated, that the Fortress shall not at any
time contain abOve a certain small supply of ammu-
nition, &C.
The Rajah of Gottun, by a recent Convention
With the Indian. Goverthiient.; lids agreed to take
three Battalions of British Troops into her pay.:

Surveys are now making of the Forest§"iri'Betigal,
by order of the India aOmpany, for selecting. timber

. The'. King of CANDY, according to'the last oTh-
cial Accounts from Ceylon, had sent his first Adigar,
or Prime Minister, to Dambadura, for the purpose
of forming a 'new Treaty with the British Govern-;
ment.

One of the strong 'circumstance: against Pugh,
which 'seems to have escaped notice, is, that, the:
candlestick which he .took ,when he Went into the
yaid had the same dirt. upon it at the bottom as the
feet of the stockings. It is therefore to be inferred
that he put the candlestick -upon the ground-when
he Was going to discharge the pistol.- •
Mr. GoLpsmin, we understank-desired IvF.s

Yeverdaywe received 117.va,-Yorh Papers to the
gtliclult. three "daYs later than those which reached,
'town on Friday. . They bring the •important intelli-
gence that on the 3.1 st ult. the Scr at. were engaged
:;.,on.iVtr. WRIGHT' s Bill relative to, the impresstnekit
I of. the Seamen of the United -§tateS; when; after
a long discussion, the whole was struck out, except
tie words " Be it enaßed ;" and that a' new Bill
was hrought up in its room, which met with a sit,ni-
lar fate. '

The. Amdridan Government was abottt to send a
Minister Extraordinary to the British Court, to re-
'monstiate on their grievances ;, but it is lIQW, under-
stood that the measure will be dispensed with.
_ On the 96th of February Mr. MiTcuer.t„ from
the Committee' appointed on the subjea, 'brought
up,a Report on those pafts of the Memoti2.ls from
the Merchants of New-York and others relative to
providing a further Naval Armament for the public
defence. Th 6 Report; after referring 'to the strong
reasons urged in theSe Memorials, and to the Presi-
dent's 'Message of the ad of December, relative to
the considerable provision made for materials for
construcling Ships of War, observes, " That cal-

rie Secret Expedition which has-left New York,
under General MIRANDA, is the subject of constant
conversation among the people of the United States-;
and the general opinion seems to be, that its obje&
is to drive the Spaniards from. South America...' In
support of this' opinion, an account has been_ pub-
lished of the Life of. General AIinJUDA,..-Avhd-Cerri-.:

years he has burned With a desire to. deliver his
native Country from her bondage. He trtivelled

LETTER OF Tak: CABINET KINIn'ER OF 14If E KIN(
• OF 'PRUSSIA TO THE MINISTRY OF ELECT()
RATE Ok' BRIAISWICK, Ml' HANOVER.

BERLIN, fAN.

" Since the disasters of the Combined -AnStriai
and aussian Armies, which led to. the Peagebetweek
Ausfria and France, His Majesty, our most graciod! ,
Sovereign, has employed his zealous endeavours to
stifle the flames 'of War, which every Monsen.
threatened to over-run the North Of Germany, and
particularly, the EleCtorateof Brunswick. The stab
of European affairs had, .within a short period, bees
totally changed, and the first consequences of ths
would have been the, return of a powerful Freno'
force into the territories of Hanover, which, wit.i
the wholeNortb•olGercriany, would thus have be-
come the theatre of a destriktive War, and the sa-
critke 'of oppressive. impositions.. •
" It would be unnecessary to enumerate all the
disastrous consequences of such a state. To prevent
it by all possiblumeaasi. as soon as the 'intentions
direEted to that objedt were ascertained; was, con-- •
formably •to tbe; invariable. sentiments, and -Twin- •
ciples of his Majesty,
.;his highest wish, as '
his first .duty. Only. One method was left to avert
the evil, without *dueingthe-stillgrenter calamity,
and encountering'. the incalcNiabledangers• of a- new..
War ; and,' . under these circumstances, -the King • -
owed it to himself, to The North Of..Gerrnany,-, and %-
likewise to the Lonntry which, he,was desirous of .‘
rescuing from farther misery, to embrace, without
hesitation, this eu,edient, proffered to his Majesty-.
by the Eniperor of Fran e.

" It consisted in • an . agreement to .be concluded •
with him, by. which the German dominions of his
Britannic Majesty Should. be. ceded; till the decision .`
of thoirfate at the General 'Peace,. to •hiS Majesty'
himself, to be occupied :by his Troops, and subje&ed
'to his administratidn. —this agreement has dEtually
tedn concluded; • and :has been 'ratified by' the two
HighC4ntrading yarties.. •
-c.c. His Majesty' intends to-address an explanation
to his Britannic Mijcsty himself, concerning the ne-
cessity and utility of.thiS arrangement, as he has rea-
son, to expea, from his' intelligence and justice, that
he will consider the pressure of circumstances, and
the decisive reasons for' this measure, as just and
im-
partial.__ .

Meanwhile, he_ has Commissioned us to give
your Excellencies information of it,' and to acquaint
you with the immediate consequences nf that ar,
rangement, namely, •thee approaching- occupation of
the Hanoverian Terfitories by a Prussian army,
which will be-under, the orders of thesGeneral of Ca,
valry 'Count, SCHULENBERG KEHNERT; • and with
the nomination. of-that Nobleman to be the Colt.;
missary of Royal Administration.'.
‘r. We do ourselves the honour to inclose to your.
I?,xceilencies the'•Patent making known this occUpa,
:tion, and have nothing particular to add,- but the
repeated a;sti;ance, that, in • thus 'taking the. Country
under Ips Avoteaion and administration, his iqa-
jesty intends and wicies nothing more ardently
than the ty=quillity of the Nurth of Germany, snd
to dire& his achuinistratioll, as he declares in tht
Patent,. to the highest bcietit of the Country and it;
Inhabitants— .• . • .

" In Cons..ql.:cnce of Abe measures which have al-
realy been adopted, it cannot be doubted that the
Country will soon b evacuated by the fi)reigtaroop3.
which Ftill retu.iin in it,< and in particular,. that the
French,GaiTison of Hameln. will beirtuuttliately re-`
called to France ; that it will sOOO be left to be.
occupied by the King's Troops alone.
"By ti,e cointnind,of His Majesty,-We have stilt
to ftaltil the da,iy of requiring, that your Excelleill.
ties, convinced of the benevolent intentions and
sentiments of His will subtifit to, attct
acquiesce in, the necessary arrangements, and the,
farther measures and ieg-uiations cf the Commissary
of the Administration, .and the Commission pi4Ced

Copy if a Letter from Captain. Jab': Davie, late
Commander 9f His Majesty's Sloop Favourite, to
William Marsden, Esq.. dated on board the Trio
Cartel, Falmouth, April 8, 1806.

SIR,

I have the.honour to inclom a Copy of my Let-
ter.' to Capt. Maxwell, of His Majesty's Ship Arab,
giving an account of the capture of a French Priva-
teer by His Majesty's late Sloop the Favourite un-
der my Command.

I am, Sir, &c.

JOHN DAVIE.
His Majesty's Sloop Favour,ite, of the

Sll{s

Tris Pongas, Dec. 28; 1805.

I have the honour to acquaint' you, that, in obe-
dience to your orders of the 18th instant, I proceed-
ed in His Majesty's Sloop under my command to
• the Islands des Loss, where 'I was informed that the
Privateer you sent me in pursuit of was at anchor in
the RiVer of Pongas. I immediately shaped a course
for that place and, when within a few leagues of
it, two Sail wee discovered, • which Mr.' Wilson
(who volunteered .to be our Pilot) affirmed were
Vessels which had beeh captured by her. • Conceiv-
ing it to be my duty, I' instantly made all sail, 'and
gave Chace .to them. Owing 'to the shallowness of
the water, and incorreEtness of thecharts, we did.
not reach the entrance of the River till this after-
noon, when _we discovered the Privateer under sail,
'and working out. She allowed us to approach
within half gun-shot, when she attempted to get
away. I immediately commenced a fire from the
'bow guns, which soon induced her to shorten sail,
and, to my surprise, haul athwart,' and rake us. I
did not choose to alter the Ship's course, because it,
would have prevented my getting so' near as I in-
tended ; but, when within our own length, I lulled
..up, and gave her our broadside. The Captain had
the temerity to contintie'engaging us for twenty mi-
nutes, which cost him and ten others their lives,
and twenty-five men badly wounded ; whilst lam
happy to say, that Lieutenant Odium, .of the Royal
African Corps (a Passenger), is the only person hurt
on board of us, and he is slightly wounded. ' On
taking possession she proved to be Le General
Planchard • Privateer, mounting sixteen guns, and
manned with one hundred and thirty French and
Spaniards.

I cannot do sufficient justice to the zeal and per-
severance displayed by Lieutenants Parsons and In-
gram, Mr. Soady, the Master, as well as all the
'other Officers, Seamen, and Marines, under my
command, in a tedious chace of three days, obliged,
principally, to sweep and tow the Ship, where we
had never-more than three fathoms water; and re-
gret very . sincerely that their bravery and good con-
du& was not direeled against a Vessel of greater
force.

I have the Honour to be, &c.
JOHN DAVIE.

Ship Arab, &c. &c. &c.
