Frigates which run under the protealon of the bat-
teries near Rochefort, were high and dry,on,shore,
he'eling different ways, and would, bf course, soon
bre:►ic it►."pieces.

Ey the iqne accounts we learn, that one of the
Bresr SOadron, near Isle &Aix, Was on shore, and
011 her Wan ends, with her masts cut away.
Tile French Fleet, consisting" of t t Sail of the
Line, the Calcuttti, of 54 guns, and four Frigates,
were Observed On Friday last at anchor in Basque
It'oads andAtImiraI.STOPFOND'S Squadron, of ¢e-
yen Sail of the Line and. five Frigates, was at anchor
about three miles from them, in a situation which
Would prevent them from escaping.
at Ea Itai:sike joined Admiral STOrvoan with five
ail of the tune and. three Frigates, from Cawsand
Bay, And it is probable they will' endeavour to de-
stroy the French at anchor, and if so every thing
may be ene6ted from British valour and skill.

Sevcral Danish Vessels, which recently sailed
from French Ports, have been captured- by our
cvuizeiti. The Masters of two of them arrived in
Tim n yesterday mottling, and made depositions in
the cohtse of the afternoon, stating, that they sailed
iu, consequoce :of private orders, transmitted to
them from their Court, through the triecliUm of the,
Consuls. . The orders were, we understand,
to.Sait without delay from the French-Ports, at the.
rtslue of being captured by British cruizers. In
conqequence of these orders, r:„; less than 14 Danish
vessels sailed at once from Bourdeatix,, besides seve-
ral from other Ports, • .

This conduct, on the part of Denmark, after all,
its subruis•ion to France, seems to spew that the
tylanny of the latter hai exceeded all possible bounds
01 p;itience, and gives strength to the report that
nii,sia' begins to be disgoqed with her conneetion
with nyoN4PAlrre, and is likely to join Austria, if
she should at last venture upon a rupture with a
'tyrant, whose friendship exists no longer than till
ke has an opportunity of carrying his ambitious pro-
jee•ts into execution.

The report. which we have given of the Debstein

tlic Muse of Commons
,last night, venders it on.
tit!ctAhary Tor us to enterinto observations on a sub-
jen.which lEts itAbed been ao oftetr discussed that
it is hardly poisA3le to throw a new light on it.

The Orders in Council were Called for by policy, as
well a% by a regard to our national rights and cha-
taaor. If thae4Orders had not been issued, Atne-
riea, 'as bas been justly obse*rved, Would hots en-
gro,ised all the Continental trade to herself, and
BooN:tpAttirtt's Decrees would, in effeB, have really
opetated as a .610iicade against this country. The
p ,rtialry of the American Government towards
Prance is too obvious, and if we quietly perMitted
America to carry on her trade with that country, the
American people would doubtless have approved of
measures by which they would profit but now they
opposer hat partiality, because Alias nearly ruined their
coin orerbe. It is demonstrable that he Berlin Decree.

k it was a measure of fair retaliation, as well, as of

to say that'it is without foundation.
