HULL, FEB. tf.

THE Greenland Ships at this Port are fitting
out for the fishery ; most of them will carry from
12 to t 4. guns each, ten and twelve-pounders ;
and being well armed and manned, will secure'
them from any Privateers that infest these seas.
In the course of last year 44. Privateers have
been taken from the French, with 479 guns, and
3308 men ; being 12 Privateers, 264 guns, 883
men, less than weretrought in during the year
1799. •

The Amazon Frigate has . captured and sent
into Hull, eight sail of Danish .vestels ; being part
of a Fleet of upwards of so sail that left the
Ports of Norway a few days ago,

The sailing of Admiral GA NTW E AtiNtt 'S Expe-
dition was concluded with great address. For some
days a squadron of seven Ships of the line; and se-
veral Frigates had come out to the Outer Road ;
on the 23d a British Vessel looked in and found
these Vessels in the Road. That same night, how-
ever, in a thick fog, the Expedition sailed, and in
half an hour a Squadron of Ships of the same size,
appearance, and equipment, took their station.
Next day the English Cruizers looked in as usual,
and saw what was considered the same Squadron,
in the Outer Harbour.—ln consequence of this,
our Fleet off Brest had no suspicion at all of the
sailing' Of GANTH E AU ME.

Capt.l3tritßows, late of the Roebuck, is ap.
pointed to command the Seagull Sloop of War, at
Portsmouth. .

Capt. ,INGLis has been appointed to command
the Cruel Cutter, comprised in Sir .STONEY
SAIITH'S SquadrOn, in the room of' her former
commander; who has been made Post.

The Athei.ira, of 64 guns, on her passage from
England, in December last, ran on a shoat offthe
N. E. end of Ja►naica) and was with great diffi.
culty got into Port Royal ; the damage which
she received was to such an extent, as to render
her unfit for naive service.

The Diligence Brig) of 16 guns, was lately lost
on a ridge of rocks off the N. W. side of Cuba;
the officers anti crew escaped from the wreck to a
small island, where, with wretched accommoda-
tion, they remained three days, when the Thu'l-
derer, of 74 guns, hove in sight and picked them
up ; previously to this* however, the Spaniards,
who had witnessed their condition, sent an Arm.
ed Vessel for the purpose of making Capt. Ross
and his people prisoners, but the Boats of the
Munderer fortunately fell in with, and raptured
her. •_

Much al prehension is entertained for the safety
of the Mike El Clarence Packet—she sailed from
Tortola for Engluid foufilays before the Tim ;ll-
sbend Packet, whiCh arr,ived.-five weeks since.
Capt. 'CLAY, of the Delaware arrived at
Philadelphia from Calcutta and the Isle of Fiance,
repOrts, that a Ve4el had. arrived at the latter
from Trance, with intelligence that`BONAPARTE
was immediately to send two Frigates to the
Mauritius, with Commissjoners for finally ad-
justing the Governments of the Islands; on such
terms as were most ccinsistent with the wishes of
the Inhabitants.

Capt. CLAY was charged by Lord MORNING.
TON with the delivery of a piece of Plate, worth
2000 rupees, to an American Captain named WA -
'tans, for having engaged and beaten off a Frepch
cruizer of superior force, and thereby saved not
only his own Ship, but a British Indiainan of con-
siderable value.

The American. Sloop Merrimack; about
,the
middle of December, captured a French Brig of
14. guns, and "one hunched and forty men, and
sent her into St. Kitt's,

It is calculated, that by the Embargo on Danes
and tiVedes, and those in our Military and Coin-
mercial Navy, not likely 'to return home, these
two Northern Powers lose at least 6003 experi-
enced sailors.

The Merchants of Liverpool lately applied to
the Admiralty Board for protedion to their Ves.
scls bound to the Elbe, and in their Navigation
of that River, implying an apprehension from
the Danish force at Gluckstads and Altona : to
this Mr. NEPEAN, in a letter to Mr. RiCHARDS,
dated the 7th inst. replied;
" I have received, and communicated to my
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, your
letter to me of the sth inst. respecting the pro.
te&ion of the trade-of Liverpool, bound to Ham_
burgh and Bremen ; and I am commanded by
their Lordships to acquaint you in return, that
they are ready to give Convoy to the Trade,
whenever it .may be desired ; and that they do
not conceive any protedion to be necessary for
that part of it bound to Hamburg!), beyond-Cux-
haven."

Diu ty -Lan.
Tilt Tragedy of Cy- cline was repeated on
Sacurcliy last, ar;this Theatre, and very Warn-fly
applauded. Krm t, t: has studied the charatler of
Paributnils with great care ; but he has, byfAo
means, refined away its energies in critical nicetrtt,,
He omits-- the Soliloquy immediately following'
the supposed evidence of his Wile's
and, indeed; notwithstanding its strong featurei
of genuine-passion, and high poetical merit; it..
is certainly too coarse, in itsalltisions, fur Oft taste
of the present day.,
It may he, thought, perhaps, that, the chameter
of Imagers is too juvenilefor Mrs. SI DDONS : ,the
excellence, however, she di,plars in it, ,satisfies
the imagination,as much a, it interests the affec-
tions. A more pathetic, appeal to the feelings
has ,seldom been made even by herself. —We, still
wish that she would malge, some- zdteration in the:
dress she assunies ai..Fielde, which is a strange!
mixture of the attire of both 'sues; and is,,in truth,.
according to the old phrase; neithei,one thing, nor
the other.

There is a manliness in the acing of W. ItOU I
TON which is peculiarly Kell suited to di.: part
of Be/arias. The Rart of Gu;Joiss is supported
with a good expresston of modesty, and spirit by
CHARLES KEMBLE.

The character of. the Quern is of no. great,con..l
sequence, and hardly suitable to the rank
Mrs. PO%VELL holds in the theatre. She there-
fore de,,,erves Critical Re'Speti and public Appro-
bation for taking it, in order to give more Dig-
nity to the Play. ,

There is a lightness and freedom in -13Att R-Y-
-moßE's exhibition of: fach;,mo very well calcu-
lated to support it with cffed. No man, how-
ever, has is our r9tnernbran;e given the charlaer
with any thing like the merit of SMITH, of whose
peiformatices it was indeed the chef d'a,llq:,;T:
We must again pay Rl:bate to the liberality .
of the Managers, for the handsOrne style in thich
this excellent play is
~brought forward:. the
scenesOf tapestry, the )ed-eltamher, the,antique
hall, and all the forest views) are rich, beetutiful,
and. appropriate.

The Veteran Tar goes •on with unabat?(l 'cle-
cess, and is indeed an appeal td the j liivalcv of
Englishmen; that deservequblic prottetion-and
encouragement:

COURT OF IE,I;CG'S BENcii, FEE. 9.

THE KING V. JA NA TANDY.

,7a mei Aapper Tand). was this day broUghi up
to the Bar, and theATToRNr ir-Gts rtt R infOtnrki
the Court, that it was his intention that Ole Fri_
soner shoUld be tried in the'Countk Donegal', at
the next Assizesi white the o'vert-aai of treason
are alledged to have" been committed,'zind that
though he might- have obtained's' rule of the Court
to send the Prisoner and his Indiament to Done-
..
gall, without bringing' him into Court ; yet as the
Prisoner had chosen Counsel under an idea that

his trial would rake place in Dublin, he might
now wish to,have other, Counsel assigned for his
defers —therefore it was, that he (the Attorney
Gene teal) had thought it right to have. the Priso.
ner lirought.up this day. , ,-, . . • •.:
Tandy being asked by the Court, if .he had
any obje&ion to make to the motion, .or if he
desired to change the Counsel already assigned for
his defence, he said he had not received notice
of this motion .lill Saturday evening ; that-he
had not had an opportunity of consulting his
Counsel, and now wished for their assistance ;
upon which Mr. CURRAN was 'called, and
after consulting with the Prisoner, he said,,he
saw no objeftion to the -Motion, and as to ,the
necessity of changing his Counsel, he saw no, oc.
casion for it, as he was certain, from the' manner
the prosecution was concluded by - the *ATTOR-
NEY.LEVER4L, no objection would. be. made to
Counsel appearing at the trial, although not spe.
cially assigned, _ -
The ATTCittiFY.GENERAL replied, that he
should consent to the Prisoner's having such per:-
sons for his Counsel as he desired. • , .

The Court accordingly granted the Attorney_
General's Motion, and the Prisoner will of course
be tried at Lifford Assi7jes. •

A Duel took place on Saturday at Queenbo-
rough, between Lieutenant M-- of the Ma-
rines, on board the Monarch, and Lieutenant
L-, of His Majesty's Ship Latona, when
the former was shot dead on the spot, and the
latter was mortally wounded in the side. The
Seconds have both absconded.---They met in con-
sequence, we learn, of a very slight quarrel,
which happened near two years ago between
them.

Mrs. Smith lately died at Stafford, of the
wounds inflicted by her husband.
A desperate engagement took place on Wed-
nesday night, on Mr. PENRUDDOCK'S Manor in
Wiltshire, between two poachers and two of the
keepers ; after a contest of nearly half an hour, a
third keeper came 'up, and the two poachers were
secured. One 9f the keepers is severely wounded
in the head by the butf.:end of one of the poachers'
