HOUSE OF .COMMONS,

MONDAY, APRIL 13.
•
TAYLOR'S Dir Owe Bill, from the Lords, was
read it second time, and ordered to be committed
to-Morrow se'mught. •
Mr.'Bß AGGE. stated that the Committee ap-
pointed to search for precedents with respr4 to the,
eligibility of Mr. HORNE. Tooxt's Elecfmn, had,
owing to some inadvertence, omitted to state in
their ,keport,- the last Case in point, of Mr. Rush_
worth ; he therefore Moved, " That the Committee
be sevived, and have leave to report from time to
time, as it shall appear to them, to the House.'' .•
Mr. JUNES said, he rose:in consequence of his
former notice of an intendid Motion relative to
the Hair-powder Certificate, and Armorial Bearing
Duties. It
,was not,his kvisli to do away these J)u_
ties, but to prevent the vexations of I[4i-triers, and
to lessen the expence attending the colleCtion of
them, by having them levied along, with the other
Assessed Taxes. As, however; the Hon. Gentle-
men I.vh.-) were in office, had promised to pay some
`attentidn to the subject, he should. postpone his
Motion for the present.
Leave .
vas given to bring a Bill for reviving
the Bill for regulating the Steeping of Barley for
Mat; which had been daninged by the lite rains in
harvest. • ; • •
The Custom Duty• Bill was cornmitted.
Mr. TIERNEY said,, that'by desire Of an Hon.
Friend 'of his, now absent, (Mr. HoakoustO he
.
rose to mention the wish of his Hon.
,Friend to
.postpone a little longer the Motion. which he had-.
proposed-to bring fdrward that. day ; and he, did so,
in the hope that -in the mean time, some communi-
cation would be made by His Majesty's Ministers
on. the Subjea of the,existing differences between
Britain, and the Northern Powers.
Mr. SHER./.0/IN also (in a low -tone of voice
across the Table,) adverted to the Motion which he
had given notice to make, for the Production of a
certain Paper, addressed to the Roman Catholics of
Ireland, and (a$ we understood him),• proposed to
bring it forward ons Wednesday bext.
Mr. GREY rose to mention, that he also had
given notice of his intention to bring forward a
MotiOn on the subject of the Northern Confedeiacy,
and the State of Affairs as they were now pending
between the United Kingdom and those. Countries,
which rendered'it necessary that Parliament should,
as speedily as possible, take an opportunity of de-
liberating on the subjed. The House had been
taught to exped from she Right Hon. Gentleman
opposite to him, some communication on the subjed
before this time, and he wished, therefore, to know
how soon such a CoMmuniCation might be ex;
petted.

Mr. ADDINGTONnswered, that it was cer.
tainly very reasonable to expel} such a ConnnUnica.
tion to be made to Parliament as, had been referred
to; it hadbten fully intended, and the sole reason-
why such a Communication had not already been
made, was because thr infortutitic>n which
ty's Ministers had hitherto obtained on the subica
of the exititing differences ‘vith the Northern Powers,
was not vet, so complete as he -expeCiNl it would
have been. However, he did expea that he should
"be direttcdby His M 1 jesiy', in a day or two, by
Wednesd4 at farthest, and that he should then be
enabled to lay bObtc the House such a Communica.
,thin as would tender any Motion of the Hon. Gen..
tlem'an on the subject unnecessary.

Mr. VANSITTART (Secretary to the 'Treasury)

' THE SUN.

SOLEM QUIS DICZ11; ►ALSUM AUDZAT:

LONDO 217, A P,R I L 14, 1801.

LAST night a Messenger arrived from Peters-
burg!), with an account that the EMPEROR PAUL
had been found dead in his bed (we believe on
;he 23d ult. and it is supposed .by Poison.)—
His eldest Son, ALEXANDER, had been proclaim-
ed Emperor. •The latter immediately ordered all
the English Prisoners to be set at liberty, and
Letters to be addressed to our Court, containing
the most-friendly assurances ; and has directed that
Count WORONZOW' should be re-instated as his
Ambassador here.

By the same Vessel which brought the above
intelligence,. came a Dispatch from Sir JAMES
CRAWFURD, at Hatrtbirgb, dated the sth instant,
stating that the Danish account had been received
there, of an Attack having been made on Copen-
hagen on the ist inst. by our Fleet, attended with
very great loss on both sides, in which they admit
the destruffion.of some of their Ships, and from the,
whole of which Sir JAMES CRAWFURD had no
doubt but that the issue had been successful.

A Council was this forenoon held at the Queen's
House, at which the, KING received the LORD
CHANCELLOR'S resignation, and Lord ELDON
kissed hands on being appointed to that high office.

YESTERDAY, just after our Paper had been put
to Press, the Hambargh Mail due on Wednesday
last reached Town. We made an insertion in a
great part of our Impression, of its important con.
-tents, which we this day repeat for the information
of all our Readers.

We likewise stated 'the arrival of a Messenger
from Hamburg!, dispatched by Mr. CRAUF cut D,
who brought our Government the happy intelligence
of the Sound, having been passed by our Fleet on
the morning of the 3oth ult. -without having lost
any ship, or experienrro any considerable damage
Our Readers will find in the articles from Hamburgh
and CcipeNbflgen, brought by the Mail, the details
of thin event, which will form an epoch in our Ma-
ritime Annals.
•

At the same time that we congratulate our Read.
ers.on the decisive success which has crowned the
bold operation in question; we have to regret that
the disposition of the Danes seems still less ope.
!aced upon either by fear or conciliation. They
have not only decidedly
,declared and began war
against us, by firing. on our Fleet from the castle
of ,Crone4burg, but as early as the preceding even.
ing they gave a decided proof of their hostile dis.
positions. A general, Embargo on all F.,ngliih ship_
ping and property, had keen laid at Cpteilhogen, and
on the 3d inst. the Prince= of HESSE forced the Sc,
nate,df Hamburgh to proclaim and to carry into
ecution the same measure:—We cannot help express-
ing our astonishment at the madness which seems to
affect the Danish Councils. The possession. of the
City of Hdodurgh, which Prussia.. will take from
them as soon us she. pleases, will be very far from
indemnifying her for the. loss. of her Coloniest and
for the disasters which she gay experience ax
home.

THEIR MAJESTIES did not yesterday remove to
Kew, as was e\peacd.

A Council of Ets MAjts:ry'slVfinisters was .ves-
terday held ai.Lord fIAWKESBURY'S (Ake, oti thc
Advices received from France.

We have received American Papers to the 9th of
March, In a Paper of that day there is a Cdpy of
the Speech of, Mr. JEFFERSON,Io.,.the Legislature,
on ,taking the Oaths of his new Office, which can-
not fail to be read With great attention and interest.
Private Letters state, that Mr. MAP tsox is ap-
pointed Secretary,of State.; and Chancellor Lxvt NG-
STOW, Minister Plenipotentiary to France. Mr.
ADAMS, in quitting the Presidential Chair, re-
gretted that the Senate had not ratified . the French
Treaty witliOut the' exception, of the second article.

COPENHAGEN, Ninxca 30

THE English Fleet, under the Command of the
Admirals PARK ER and NELSON, has passed the
Sound, and is now at anchor near Copenhagen.
On the 28th the English Admiral sent a Flag of
Truce to Col. STRicKRR, Commandant of the For-
tress of Crontnburg, with a Dispatch, importing that
-the hostile conduet of Denmark ,and .the sending away
or the English Charge d'Affaires, Mr. DR UNINIOND,
fr9rn Copenhagen, rendered it necessary for him to
dsmand whether his Fleet would be permitted to
by ChyLburg, declaring, at the same time,
'tlatiheshou'id consider the first cannon shot as a
DeClaratioic of War on the part of Denmark. Co-
ldner STRiCKRR replied; that as he knew not with
what view so large a Fleet was sent to pass the
Sound, he could not permit it to pass Crain:burgh ;
but that he would however send to .Copenhagen for
further orders.

Colonel STRICKER immediately sent to Copen-
hagen, and in the night between the 28th and 29th,
received the most positive orders not to suffer the
English Fleet to pass. This Answer he direaly
communicated to Admiral PARKER, who replied,
that he considered this as a Dtelaration of War, and
that he should immediately commence Hostilities.
Accordingly on the 29th, in the afternoon, the
English Fleet weighed anchor, and the next morn.

of the Sound with a North wind, which at first was
not very strong. • A cannonade immediately com-

The English on their part, threw Bombs into
Cronenburg and Elsineur as they passed, but did
little damage, as on the side of the Danes only two
men were killed and some wounded. Five of the
foremost of the English Ships were much damaged
in their passage, by the heavy fire from the Fortress
of Cronenburg, but this did not prevent the pass-
ing of the rest of the Fleet, and in two hours, that
is, between seven and nine in the morning of the
3oth, the whole Fleet had got through the Sound,

about 2 (German) mile from Copezhagen.

COPENHAGEN, tifAQcx ;t.

The following is the OFFICIAL ACCOUNT sent
by Colonel STRICKER, of the passage of the Sound
by the English Fleet :
" Crorcnburg, March 30..

" The English Fleet got under sail, and began
to pass the Castle about seven o'clock. A cannon-
ade immediately commenced, which continued with
great .violence on both -sides till half past eight,
when, after an interval of about half -ati'hour, the
Rear Division began to pass. The cannonade was
„,s -onsinuNt till half past nine.
I am convinced that the Enemy's Fleet must hare
suffered considerably by the cannon of the For-
tress, but to what degree, it is impossible to
determine,, as • the Ships kept as near as pos-
sible to the Swedish shore. Several of the Bombs
thrown by the Enemy fell in .the Fortress, but
without doing the smallest damage : the Tower
on the West side is indeed somewhat shattered.--
Two men were killed by the Enemy's Bombs, aid
we have besides two wounded. ,
