SIR,

His Atojesty's Ship, Tartar,
lunc 2, 1$09.

hive the honour to acquaint you, that on the
15th of May, 1809, 1 chased on shore near Felix,
berg, on the coast of Cdorland, a Danish sloop pri-
vateer, of four guns, two of them 12-poundets,
on slides, and two long four-Pounders; the crew,
twenty-four in number, landing with their inns-
,kets, and being joined by some of the country peo-
ple, posted themselves behind the sand-hills, near
the beach. The vessel appearing calculated to do
much mischief to the trade, I sent the boats of this
Ship, under the Command of Lieutenants Sykes
and Parker, with orders either to bring her off or to
destroy her, the former of which they effetied with
constderable address and aelivity, and without loss,
very soon getting the vessel's guns to bear upon the
beach.

Before the Danes abandoned her, they placed a
lighted candle in a twelve-pounder cartridge of
gunpowder, in the magazine, whcfJ there Was
some hundred weight beside, which was happily dis-
covered by one of the boat's crew, who immediately
grasped it in his hand, and extinguished it, whets
it had burned down within half an inch of the pow-
der; another minute would in all probability have
been the daunt-lion of every man on board and
alongside the Vessel ; a dishonourable mode of war-
fare necessary to be known, to be properly guarded
against.
I have the honour to be, See.

AllT*itaP,,JUtta 2.!—The Gazette of this city
coots n 5 the following article i
" t may be considered as certain, in present
state of things, that she Imperial Decree of die 1011
• of Seplanher, 1808, will nut only be execmild with
the utmost rigour, but also that its il)fitleilial Will he
extended to all the allies of France, on the Conti-
nent : tor if ever there existed a mouient for success-
fully giving a death-blow to the industry of Great
Britain, it is the present. Almost all the C 03.14 of
Europe belong to France, or her friends and allies.
Trieste and Fiume, and -Sweden also, are 10-t to
England ; and the shores of the Baltic will speedily
be furnished with a numerous army, which will
most effeetnally prevent the over knit of prohibited
prodations. But that, in the presinit state of things,
no other system than that hitherto pursued, can be
admitted, without operating to the ruin of com-
merce, and particulariy French mantitaCtores—that
the permission of entering our ports under the Arne-
rican flag should entirely cease—are propositions,
with the truth of which, all the Chambers of Com-
merce Ili frame, and particularly the Council of
Commerce in Paris, are fully and deeply impressed. '
" Of the reaAiness with which our allies will.
adopt this system, we may be etiabled to form an
opinion from the conside'ration that au American
cargo, consisting chiefly of dye stuffs, landed at
Touningen, has been deposited in the Royal ware-
houses at Denmark, to await the decirit.n of the
Government; and also, that Russia demands of
Sweden, as one of the conditions of peace, that sire
shall shut her ports against English vessels. Profts
all these considerations, it t011ows„ that neither co-
lonial produas, not any other articles of commerce
and manufacture, will fall in price; but, on the
contrary, that they will rise the moment the Op•
sitions which are expe6lcd from the energ' and
wisdom of the Emperor are made known. Traiel-
lets who were at Vienna a little before the entrance
of the French into that capital, assert that the price
of Macedonian cotton had then risen- from start to
360 florins. It is said that all that remains of it itt
the warehouses of Vienna,_ consists of About 10,000
bales, principally of an inferior quality, and wholly
unfit for the purposes of the French and Swiss ma-
nufatiturets. Those of the best quality hase been
bought tip by the English, at Smyrna and itt Mace.
dome, and their re-importation to the Continent of
Europe is prohibited. In general, the commercial
policy of the English leads them to the most scru-
pulous attention with regard to this product : in or-
der that the possession of the raw materials may ass
much as possible favour the sale of their own ma-
titllattures.

CO M., MAY 28.--Our Aknitetx of yesterday
contains an official account of the retaking, of Fort
Domitz, by the Westphalian General D'Albiguac.
The robber Schill left a garrison of 1500 mean in the
place. A company of grenadiera, who landed at
the fuet of the walls, under a welt-diretled tire of
artillery, were sufficient to carry the fort, and to
put thiii banditti to flight, with the loss of 400 hill-
et!, 300 prisoners, and a great number wounded,—,
By this event I'6o Frenchmen, Wesiplrdians, and
