We find in the same Paper. an Article well
worthy of its place. there, and to which' our
laders will give ho more credit than it de.
serves. The Kiwn of PRUSSIA) in the midst of
his Court, is stated to have said, 41, England has
-reached its extremity : (6mbli to mesure)—ic is
' tinic,to,pur an, end to the comedy: the English
have manifested their perfidy, and the moment is
at length come for -reducing them to reason."—
It is hardly necessary to remark how little pro.
liability - thre• is 'that the 'KING Of PRUSSIA
should have held such impolitic and unjust lan.'
. . . , •
(-,uage. Nor is' it more necessary to state that,
shOUld even have made Use Of it, it would in
no degree afrett the nature of:our rights nor, our,
means of maintaining them. It is confirmed,
that this Monarch is himself aboUt to repair to
, Wesqhafia,, in order to review both the .Troops
which are there, and the ,fourteen 'Battalions and
four Regiments of Cavalry which ;are already on
their march to join them. 'lt is not difficult to'pre.
sums, or at least to suspca, what the destination
of these Troops iS, and what is the object of His
PRUSSIAN MAIESTY'S journey ; but it is need-
less to anticipate what may eventually happen.

The Civil Code, in the formation of which
the ablest Lawyers in Prance have for several
moaths been entplorrd, .has been presented to the
Chief Consul, who has signified his approbation
of it:. Seniible, however, that a man who has
Torted so completely with Political Laws would
not he the most fit to decide upon the excellence
of Civil Laws, he has referred the Code to the
examination of the Tribunal de Cessation, whence
it will no doubt be sent to the Legislative Body.

An Article from Vienna of the
.17th ult. states,
that the Peace had been proclaimed in that Capi-
tal by order of the Etktp E ROR ; and a Strasbargh
'Article of the 27th says, that :he EMPEROR had
ratified the Treaty, and had transmitted it of-
ficially to the Diet at Palislon. We do not find
any official notification of this event in the Paris
lk
Alpert. , • • '

o m the LONDON GAZETTE, March 7, 'SQL

Downing street, March 7, 1801.

A Letter, of 'which the following is an Ex_
tra&, has been received by the Right Hon.
Henry Dendas, one of His Majesty's Principal
Secretaries of State, from Lieutenant_Colonel
Fraser, ComMatidaniof the Garrison of Goree,
on the Coast of Africa, dated off Senegal, sth
January, 1801.

On the 3d instant, the weather being very fa-
vourable and the surf unusually low, it was de-
tetmined by Sir Charles Hamilton and myself,
to attack. an Armed Brig and Schooner laying at
anchor in the River. •
The party destined forthis service, consisting
of 'fifty-five Volunteerp from the Melpomene,
under the command of Lieutenant Dick, five from
the crew of the Transport, and thirty-six, -com-
manded by 'Lieutenant Christie, from the African
Corps, left the Frigate at half past, nine, o'clock
in five boats, and,having passed the Bat without
accident, and- the Batteries at the Point without
being discovered, arrived at a quarter before ele-
ven o'clock-within a few yards of the Brig, when
the Enemy, •commenced a very heavy fire, through
which our people boarded,: and, alter a-- severe
contest, which lasted twenty minutes, carried
the vessel.

It appears she was called the Senegal, com-
manded by M. Renou, mounted eighteen guns,
with about sixty men, eighteen of whom are pri_
soners.

Two of the best boats having been destroyed
by the Enemy's shot, Lieutenant Dick judged it
better to turn the guns of the Brig ❑pon the
Schooner, than to attempt boarding her, and kept
up a well-direaed tire for some time ; but she was
so well proteeted by the Batteries, on shore,
and by small arms from the Southern .Bank, that
he -found- it_necessary to desist ; and cutting the-
Brig's cable, made sail, with her down the River.

After two hours possession, she unfortunately
grounded, and he was obliged to .relinquish his
prize, after rendering her unfit for further ser-
vice. .

The retreat 'was conducted with the greatest
order,' and the whole. of the prisoners and wound-
eckbrought- .off, notwithstanding_Jhe: surf upon
the Bar, and under a fireof grape and small -arms
from the.adjoining Batteries.
I enclose' a return of the. killed and wounded,*
and have to regret tlr loss of two very gallant
Officers, Lieufenant Paltncr of the Navy, and
Vyvian ,cf,the,,Marincs.

SIR, • -

You will be pleased to. inform: their Lordships,
that,
_being off the Bar et or the 3d
/inst.. the weather moderatef!and• die surf low,
with the concurrence of 'cOl2nel Fraser,, I con-
ceived it' posihle, if;. we could surprizc a[Brig-
Corvette and an'Armed:Sohooter, anchored with..
in the Bar, to. possess. ourselves' 'of 'the Battery
commanding
.the entranCe,';up by,iihe.ineans of
their own vessels,' as I had none -under m? corn-
mend,'-fit-for the purpose, to have.finallyJetruCed
Senegal ;_- I therefore cletachd Lieutenant.. Dick,
with-ninety-six Officers and' Men :trona the Mel—
pomene; 'and African Corps; fi've'b2ats; 'who
left the Ship at nine P.M.. were fortarate enough
•to pass ..the heavy surf ,on•• the-Bar withlthe 'flood
tide wittio4t aeCident, and
,unobserved, by the
Point Battery;, but. on their upproachiog within
hail of the Brig, the alarmwas givefi,"afill the
two bow guns dscharged, by which Lieutenant
Palmer, with seven Seainen were killed.and two
boats sunk. Notwithstanding thii . nnfortunate
accident, the Brig was - carried, aftei an obsti-
nate defence of twenty minutes; but which gave
the Schooner time to cut her cable: Lieutenant
Dick finding that the loss of his two best-beats,
and many of his best menu added to a :constant
lire from the Schooner and two potteries,: must
have rendered any farther attempt abortive, he
judged it' right io make every attempt -to get
her over the. Bar ; but the ebb tide haying made,
and being totally unacquainted with• the na-
vigation of the River, She got a-ground_; and
seeing it impossible ever to get, ter otr,-anCi,.
being }Wiled by every shot 'from the Point Bat.
t2ry, he found it absolutely necessary to retreat;
and, under. the many: obstacles be .had to sure-
mount across a trcine.ndous'suif, -under a heavy-
fire/ofgrape aid.musketry, excites. my admire.,
tion -even more, if possibly; than the—gallant
manner in which the Brig. was carried; I. there.
fore feel it my duty to recommend 'Lieut. Dick
to .their Lordships' notice, who speaks highly of
the Officers and -Men employed uncler him, both
from this Ship and-lhe African Corps ; and we
had the satksfadion at day-light to perceive the
Brig had'sunk up to hertunWalcs in a quiek.sand.
It appears she was called the Senegal ; had beVn
fitted out there at the expence of the Republic ;
and was commanded ,by citizen Renou, who was
on board ,at. the time,, and of whose fate we are
uncertain ; she mouritedl eighteen guns; twelve
a9d.nine,.pounckrii d • lad -nearly tiix.ry men on
hoard, some of 'which escaped in
,a boar,- the rest
,
were killed: 'in boarding except, five and

It was 'CHOY- 'owing. to the' alacrity and,Courage
