The Danish Sloops sent in here by the Clio, are
strong built vessels, capable of encountering the
heavy seas often experienced upon the coast of Nor-:
way, and in the Baltic ' • and very suitable for trans..'
porting troops through the darrow channels of the
_Danish islands, or from one part of the coast to the"
other. Their cargoes are now landed,'and consist_
of stockfish, oil, candles, cases of ,glass, wood, &c.
The Danes possess a grcamptuber of these vessels; and
could.soon coiled a sufficient number of them to
transport a large army-from Holstein, into Zealand,
Finland, &c.
Four Vessels were lost on Stoney Binks, at tba:
entrance of the Humber, on Wednesday night last:

A remarkable Occurtence took place on Tuesdel
morning at Spithead. A man, belonging to the
Sakette frigate, was sentenced to beilogged through
the Fleet for thieving. The boats ,froin all the M

ea
of War, as is costomary upon those occasions, w
assembled ; when, at the moment the punishreent
was abotit,to be ingided, he jumped overboard)
and
was nevertfterwardS seen. It is conjectured he oti
previously concealed some shot in hi.. pockets, to
Prevent the possibility of rising again in the water.
Further accounts have been received from LiibOn

per barrel; to which the Consul replied, that
