The Danes are enforcing their commercialrestric-

Commerce, and the Native, were seized at Tomlin-
gen, ou snspicion that their papers were irrorrea,
and that they came from. British ports. It appears•
by letters of subsequent dates, that the same ships
were afterwards released, their papers hm‘itii2; been

be striE,tly American.
Towards the close of 'Change yesterdly, a ru-
mour of the decease of BouNArARTE got into circu-
lation. It was said to have been received both Irons
Dunkii-k and Calais. The Dover letters which an-
nounce the return of the Flag of Truce, do not no-
tice any report to such an effea having been brought
by that vessel. _ _

A detachment of Royal Artillery drivers marched
on Monday from Exeter to Plymouth Dock, where
they will be joined by 100 more of the same corps,
and will embark, as ,sen,t as transports can be got
ready, for Portugal. Several pieces of heavy ord-
nance; and other ~military stores,
.are also collect-
ina there for the saute destination.
Extract of a let tin- dated Baltimore, November 24 :
" The rage here_ for domestic manufacture exceeds
any thing. • They are going about ,with papers for
people to sign, that they tr,ll wear no clothing but
of American manufacture ; and any one that does
not sign,- is looked upon as little better than a traitor.,
The goods are to be sa,i t o cheaper, but as cheap as
tho, e i_nported when all ekpences- and duties are paid.
'l'hit. is a new pretence to injure the commerce of
England. They forget that it is. depriving 'their
Treasury of the means of supporting Government,
because the duty of 17 per cent. gos all into the
hands of the manufaeturer, and thus Government
will be.obliged to lay direct taxes."
TIBERIUs CAVALLO; ESCL.—We are extremely
sorry to,announce the death of this Gentleman, be-
cause it is a loss to science as well as to a numerous
circle of friends, by whom his talents were held in
high admiration, and his virtues in great esteem.—
He has presented to the world many works on Air,
Electricity, and other int pornint subjects, and his
last work, entitled " Elements f A atural Philose-
pity," IA ill for ever remain a monument of his know-
. ledge, candour, industry, and acumen. He was,
we believe, a native of Switzerland, but had resided
in this country upwards of thirty years, and was uni-
vernirdly respected by all who knew him, for the pro-
fundity of his learning,. the affability of his disposi-
tion, and the mild simplicity of his manners.—He
died on Frida Lst, at his house in Welts-street.
On Christmas Dey the prisoners in the several
Gaols of the City of London, amounting to about
600 in number, were provided with a quantity of
bread, meat, and porter, sent to- them by ihe Lord
Mayor. Ten chaldrons of coals •wereelso pre-
viously distributed among them, by order of his
Lordship.'
There was a time when BUOIcAPARE pretended to
have some regard to the will of the penfile, and be-
fore he usurped the Throne of France, he thought
it necessary to make a mock-appeal to the senti-
ments of Frenchmen, and contrived, by bribes and
terrors, to have the appearance of an election in his
favour.—But in other Countries he has•imposed
upstart Relations and Ministers into the seat of Go-
vernment, with an utter contempt of the nbtional
will. His last outrage upon the feelings of a people
who ought to be independent, by annexing Holland
to France as a mere province, after he had trampled
Upon their hereditary Republican principles, by forc-

injury and insult as beggars all description.

FO.REIGN INTELLIGENCE.

(FROM HAMEURGH PAPERS.)

PETEUSBURGII, NOV. 29.—Five Russian frigates
in the Black Sea have had a very gallant' a6lion with
a Turkish squadron, and returned in, safety.
The Russian produce here and at Riga, still rises
in price. The course of Exchange is falling : it was
yesterday on our Exchange florins Banco, on
Hamburgh. Dutch ducats are worth nine rubles in
bank paper.

The winter has set in with severe cold. The
plan for removing the merchantmen in Cronstadr,
loaded for neutral ports, has, on account of the dif-
ficulty of the execution, been given up. .The Rus-
sian frigate Pollux has been wrecked in a storm off,
S weaberg.
The harvest in the Government of Petersburgh
has been more produaive than for these many years
past.

TraEsTE, Nov. 23.—Most of the rockets which
the English have thrown at us, fell in the sea. These
infernal machines are formed of tin tubes, about two
feet long and three inches thick, filled with com-
bustibles and balls. They cannot be approached
without the greatest danger.
The cold has within these few days set in with
great severity, and as we can have no communica-
tion on the sea side, good fire-wood has risen from
100 to 130 guilders the klatten. We have there-
fore the prospect of a dreadful winter before us.
Nov. 26.—0 n the entrance of the French into
this town, all Colonial produce has been sequestrated.
It is now, along with all the English property, re-
moved to Venice. We are therefore now placed in
the singular situation 'of-looking to other quarters of
the Continent for sugar and coffee to supply the wants
of this town.

Nov. 27.--The English still cruize in-sight of
Trieste ; they are six or eight sail strong. They have
not however repeated their cruel attempt to set fire
.
to our unfortunate town, by the infernal COl,l
GREVE'S rockets. It was between eight and nine
in the evening of the 22d, when about two
hundred of these hellish machines were diieel!-
ed against Trieste. Most of them, however, fell
in the sea, and only five or six reached the most
advanced houses of tke town, where they did no
material damage. Some persons were slightly
wounded ; but the terror was general, as it was not
at first easy to conjeaure how the, terrible scene
would end. It was remarked that most of the
rockets appeared to be dire6led against the Russian
ships at anchor in the inner harbour ; they, how.
ever, did not reach thec,. vessels. The French ar-
tillery kept up a trernendbus fire of 24 and 36
pounders from the castle, and the batteries on the
mole, and doubtless prevented the English from
approkici.ing nearer to the town.

FRON THE MAYN, DEC. g.—lt is reported `that
Prince of the Rhenish Confederacy- has resolved to
resign the Government of his States, and to pass the
remainder of his life in philosophic retirement.
HANOVER, Dac g.-It is said that one of the'prin-
cipal Sovereigns or the Rhenish COl,f,!deracy is to
obtain the title of Grand Chancellor of the Empire,.
and that other-Kings of. the Confederacy will receive
similar titles.
