WE learn, with peculiar.sati4f4tion; that the
Merchants in the City, and the Gentlemen at

Coalition, and mare particularly the Danes apd-
Swedes, in their Foreign Possessions, that
vernmen; may be able to draw together a
•
larger body of our Naval Force for the defence
of the United Kingdom. We are likewise proud
to state, that this noble Patriotic Spirit has ex-
tended to the Higher Ranks, and that there are
several Noblemen who already entertain the idea
of devOting a part of their fortune, in this way,
for the general defence.

These, Ships and Vessels, when, equipp;d, it is
intended, shall be subjea to the Orders of Go-
vernment, while the Public Interests require their
immediate cervices, . and that, furnished with
Letters of Marque, they shall afterwards be at -
liberty to pursue the particular interests of the
Owners : these, 'however, to derive the usual ad..
vantage from any Captures that they may make,
while subjed to the Controill of Government.—
This noble and patriotic Plan, if prosecuted With
the, zeal and spirit which has ever so much distin-t
guished BR ITO NS,. will put the Country at once
into possession of that , kind offtforce Which it
most wants at the present moment---a great-num-
ber of small Vessels of War. to cruize against the
Trade of our new Enemies, and to attack their
,Possessions abroad, while our Wooden lfralls sur-
round Great Britain, and render her impreghable
to the united efforts of the whole Continent of
Europe. •

The People of this Country of the present day,
we are convinced,' only want occasion to call it
forth, to display all the patriotic ardour which
has ever distingUished their Ancestors in the most
splendid periods of our History.---r That occasion
seems now to have arisen, from the jealousy,'envy,
,and injustice of the Powers of the North, operat-
ing in aid of those Jacobinical and destrudive
Principles which we have been combating since
the coMmencement.of the present War; There
cannot, we are convinced, be a Briton so degene-
rate as 'not to feel for the outrage which his
'Country has sOstained ; nor. one, we trust, so
dastardly; as to .doubt of the issue,of a contest
in which Britons are vunited.

Two Ilamburgh Mails remained due when our
Paper was put to Press. •
Yesterday, at one o'clock, Fir's MA) F3TY

when the Levee begao, which was attended by
the Foreign Ambassadors, Envoys, His Majes-
ly's Ministers, and a small Party of Nobility.

his promotion. ,

Lord NAr I ER. was at Court :Or the first time
this'season.

At four,. o'clock Hts IsliAinsT:y, after giving
audience to the Cabinet Ministers, returned to

The orders given, .after H is MAI t STY'S return,
were for the Attendants to be in- waiting on
Tuesday next. •
A Committee of the Privy Council will beheld

mercial Intercoorse botwaen Great Britain and
Ireland. Messrs. Coasy BERESPORD, Lord
CASTLEREAGH, an 4 the Members 9f the

We are happy to find that the Kswc of PRus.

At Lord GRENV!LLE'S Dinner to the Foreign

were the substitute.

The return of the KiFo of SwroEN from Pe-
tersburgh, was fixed for Dec. 23• by way of
Louisa and Tornea, through the'Northern Pro-
vinces.

The. postage of foreign letters in Sweden is
risen at least one-third in price. The KING of
SWEDEN, during his stay at Petersburgh, was
presented with the Grand Cross of the Order of
Malta. General Tot.i., and his Ambassador,
Baron STEDINCK, were invested with the Order
of St. Andrew ; and Colonel WI o RSIVA It D re..
ecived a gold snuff:box from the Emperor PAUL.

Some cattle, we understand, have been intro-
duced into Bengal from the Island of Tinian, one
of the Marians to the East ofeanton. They are
of a very singular and remarkable species, being
all milk white, except the ears, which are either
brown or black'. It is asserted, that there are
to,ooo cattle of this species on the Islancl'of Ti-
nian, nor can one be found to differ from the
bOve description.

The wisdom whiCh is to be found in Esop, is
sometimes contemned by the Statesmen of the
present day. They might, however, profit by
it in sonic instances ; and the Ministers of Sweden
and Denmark, if they are not already sensible of
it, will probably, ere long, recognize the wis-
dom of the Frog in'the Fable, who declined going
down into, the well, in time of drought, because
she could not distin&ly see the method by whieh
she was to get out again.
An old man, a gardener left to take care of

THEIR MAJESTIES and the five PRINCESSES
were last night at Covent-Garden Theatre.—
The Pieces commanded were, The School fir
_Prejudice, and the Pantomime of liar/era
Tour. The, DUKE of KENT, the Prince and
Princess of ORANGE, and many of the Higher
Nobility were present. The house was crowd-
ed in all parts, and the representations seem-
ed to be highly gratifying to the Royal Visi-
tors as well as to, the Audience at large. , The
ROYAL FAMILY were as usual received, with.the
most loyal acclamations, and the customary loyal
airs were- universally demanded and applauded.

The name of Mr. Cot, EMAN'S new Comedy is
to, be The Po3r. Gentleman, a name to.which, to
these Revolutionary Times, there are unfortu-
natcly too many Claimants.
It has been erroneously supposed, that, Mrs.
JORDAN is not engaged at Drury-Lane Theatre
for the present Season. The truth is, that this
excellent Aaresi is engaged for some , Seasons to
come ; but was not willing to appear, till she had
made the expetied' sacrifice. 'at the Shrine of IN-
CINA, and'was consequently removed frsin alt
danger of disappointing the Public.
Miss Mu kkAYIS not gone to play at Notwicht
as stated in a Morning Print, but Miss PAyNE?
the daughter of Mrs. MtiittAy by a former
husband, is the perfort who made her Theatrical
debut at that place, and hence arose the mistake.
The daughter of Mrs. MARTYR, the Actress,
continues - under the tuition of -MARA at Bath, •
and is expeaed to come forward at the ensuing
Oratorios in London. According

The Comedy of Life is preparing by STErit Err
KEMBLE for his Theatre at Newcastle. 'l4°
brings it forward at first for his own •Benefit
that place.
KEMBLEIS indisposition is chiefly the conse.
quence of his great exertions on Saturday in ./Ciq,
Lear; exertions, indeed, that strained power'
to the ntinost, and seem too much for his consti.'
tution.

It should be considered that the French Ride"
catty their free-booting system into other
Countries, and draw all possible reamices INA

Hence at present, for the sake of preserving ti."
quillity at home, they may not be severe in tht
exactions frorn their immediate suljetts, but if
general Peace should be established, and the
balance of power once more be restored, thtY
