TB t: report that has • been in circulation for the•
last two days, relative to Lord HARRINGTON and the
. • •
office of Commander-in-Chief, is a mere fabrication.
A Morning Riper of this day says, that His MA-
JESTY sent for his Lordship on Friday last, and
the next day conferred N: illl • him on the sub 4
jeam a circ'emitance wholly without foundaion,
as Lord H ARRINGTON and his Lady have been
some time in

A Nlail arrived from Gottenhurgh this morning.l

which it contains

Extra& of a Letter from the Captain of a Vessel
frozen in the ice in Yatad, dated Feb. 25.
" I beg lee '6 acquaint you that the sea in the
vicinity oft his place is inll.of ice, so much so, that
no open water is to be seen from the mast head.—
Yesterday an English Frigate was seen, from aloft,
fast in the 'ice ;she tired' several guns, which we
conceived to be signals of distress. She was in con-
sequence answered by two shots from hence, but no
further assistance could possibly be rendered to her.
What her fate may bis is very uncertain, and her
situation raised some uneasiness in this place."
STOCKHOLM, FEB. 27.—A report has been
strongly circulated here to day, that his Majesty
will depart hence on Wednesday or Thursday next,
but his destination is not• known. Some say be
proceeds to Goteenburgh Linea, and froth thence to

GOTTENI3,III 3.---On Saturday
;bat a
hand-bill-appeared Upon Change, and m 'other pub-
lic. places, calling upon the merchants and others,
havingvesSels in the ice ready laden, and which they
might wish to get away with all possible dispatch,
to meet .on the following Monday, at the gxchange,
to consult measures with the Master. Pilot, for cut-
ting them ou(ot tEe ice ; w hitch Meeting was in con-
(juence held, and It was agreed, that for the Sun? of
2400 dollars they a anis] proceed to work with all ex-
pedition till openedi and bound themselves for the
completion of the journey in fourteen days. 'They

The died which this temporary stoppage had upon
the merchants of this place were various, as their dif-
ferent interests led them, oraccor.liug to 'the degree
of confidence; . they placed in the report. On the
same day the governor of , .Gottenburgh appeared
upon Change, and assured the merchants every thing
was amicably adjusted between the English Minister
and the Court of Sweden. *

Information has trten received here that the Sound
is free from ice. The Chevalier JOSEPH DE CORIMA,
a Portuguese Nobleman, who lately arrived 119 re
from England, has been refused the liberty of
proceeding to Stockholm, and ordered to leave Swe-
den as soon as possible. He has, however, made a
second application, the answer to Which he is now
waiting, to determine his destination. The 'Egeria
Sloop of War arrived in Flemish Roads this morn-
ing, with dispatches from England, for Admiral
KEATS, and on her way hither was fortunate enough
to capture hve prizes (four laden vessels from Nor-
way to Jutland, and one Privateer.)

GOTTIMBUCCII, MARCH 4, 4:P. M.—The Lord
Alelron Packet arrived this morning, after a,
passage
of five days to Marstrand; When otftlie Se3ve (the
Egeria Sioop of War in sight) she was attacked'hy
a Danish' Privateer; but upon Capt. STe.o.nrr
a few roundi'of grape-shot, which did much clatnag,e:
to the Privateer's rigging nod tails, he bore up, and
fell into the hands of the above-Sloop ot. War.

New York Papers to the 7th of Januarys reached
Town yesterday. They bring an account of the
passing of the Non-intercourse Bill, by a very ec.,u-
siderable majority, but if we may judge by the con-
tempt with which the people of America treat Mr.
JEFFERSON'S Embargo, he will find it a very diffi-
cult task to inforce- obedience .to the restrielionvof
the Non-intercourse . This measure was strongly
opposed in the House of Representatives. On the
clause tbr excluding all British ships, whether
armed or unarmed, from the ports of the United
States the numberi in the division were 92 to eg.
On a similar clauserespeEting French Ships the num-
bers were g7.to 24. The ,whole Bill was carried
by a majority of 81 to Preparations are making
for putting the country in a state of defence, and a
Bill was brought in early in January, for raising an
additional military force of 5000 men.
'The Columbian Centinei, of the:29th December,
contains an account of a most pointed insult offered
by Copt,. ARMSTRONG, of the United States Artillery,
at Savannah, to Lieut. FoLaY of the British Schooner
Sandwich, which had arrived at Savannah with dis-
patches for the British Victi-Coninl. :Lieut. F. and a
Midshipman who had landed with the Dispatches,
were taken by a MilitaryiForce, while at dinner,
put on board, and the Lieutenant was ordered to, put
to sea immediately. This outrage was
.committed
on the pretence that Lieut. FOLEi had violated the
President's Proclamation, by coming, with an armed
vessel, into an American Port,. although the Procla-
mation particularly excepts vessels charged with dis-
patches.

Since writing the above,' we have received ac-
counts aom Greenock, which state that the C 011073
Planter arrived there last Monday, from St. Mary's
River, and has brdught Arnerican.Papers to the 2gth
of January, from which We have made. the following
extrals

SAVANNAH, JAN. 28.—We are informed that on
Wednesday last Mr. ERSKINE called upon Mr. MA-
mum, and stated that. be observed from the pto-
ceedings in Congress that the United States were
about to raise 60,000 additional troops, and therefore
demanded for what purpose the same troops were
intended. , We have not yet understood the amount
of the Secretary's answer.

Yesterday the intolerable want of decors m in cer-
tain British sobjeos, in the gallery of the. House of
Representatives, compelled Mr. JACKSON ;to notice
their conclOt, and call them to order.—(llashington
Ripositor, Jun. 3.)

EXTRACT OF A LETTER PROM PENSACOLA, DATED

'NOVEMBER 3, 1808.

" A plot has been discovered, which has, in some
measure, disturbed the public tranquility. ; but the
• • •
leader of it, a terjesnr, is now in confinement, and
it is supposed will be hung in• two or three day's."
The plot appears to be an attempt to assassinate
Governor FoLcit, and to produce certain measures
. .
of, hostility against the United States, which Gq=
vernor Enc.(' would not countenance.--Aurora.

Last night, Dutch Papers to the 7th instant
reached town, and a number of private letters were
received at the:.same time. From these lettersand
papers we should presume, that a War between Au-
siria and France is inevilable. The French troops,
and those belonging to .the vassal States of France,
are advancing in every. quarter to the Austrian'
frontiers. , The division of OUDINOT. has occupied
Augsburgh and its vicinity, and that of 4%vousr
has quitted lianau and Gotha,, and is advancing. to,
The preparations of Austria are, we-trust,.
commensurate to the danger with' which she is
threatened. The Archduke CHARLI6 is appointed
Generalissimo, with :unlimited. powers,. so that his
operations will no longer be shackled by the interfe..
rence of the Aulic Council---an interference which
has contributed more :Jima any thing (except, per-
haps; the treachery of some of the Austrian Gene-
rals) to the dreadful disasters which the Austrian
arms.liare sustained.

WE are prevented by the, firessure of temporary
matter from inserting some curious observati.ons in
the Muniteur, on the I,ohdon Gazette, which con-
tains the account of the. Battle of Corunna. , The
Aloniteur. positively asserts, that the British Army
was defeated; that ourloss in killed upon that clay,
amounted to above 800 mei), including three Gene-
ral ,Officers, and that 'we had '2OOO men wounded,
while the loss of the French did not exceed too
killed, ,and etto Avoundedi..

A Vessel is arrived from St. Kilt's—•she leas not

brought any news relative to the Expedition a_a't) t

". His- Majesty's Ship Melampus, Capt. FLiu
KIM, arrived- on Monday last, from Barbadoes ;
on the 16th ult. she captured the French National
Brig Ca/itry, of 10 guns, and go men, after a Se-
vere thion of about an hour; the French bad five
men killed and twelve wounded; the Frigate none
killed and wounded; she is a new Brig, and her
first voyage from Cherbourg, in France, bound
to Si. Domingo, laden with flour and gunpowder."
" Sunday arrived his Majesty's Ship Columbine
from a cruize , and on Tuesday the Cherub Schooner,
Lieutenant CRIZECHS, for Barbadoes.
On Thursday night last as some Officers were
returning from a party at St. David's. Island, the
boat upset, and, shocking to relate, Lieutenant
RAM, of the Royal Navy, Capt. PRAM!, and a,
'Serjeant' of the Royal Marines were drowned;
their bodies were found yesterday, and are to be in-
terred this day with every honour due to their rank."

Yesterday morning, his MAJESTY,,_ Princesses So-
PtilA and AMELIA, accompanied by Lady THYNNE,
Genbrals MANNatts and FITZROY, rode to Sr.
George's Chapel, and heard a septum preached by
the Rev. Mr. NORTHEY.
On Saturday letters were received in town from
Colonel CARROLL. The latest, it is said, are dated
the 20th of February, at- which period the passes in
the mountains of Asturlis still continued in the
hands of the Patriots. Eight thousand French trooPS
occupied Leon. A similar corps was stationed near
Lugo. In conseqnence, the Junta of Oviedo bad
ordered a strong division of the Asturian army 10
Gangos de Time°, under the orders of General HAL'
LESTEROS, to watch their operations. The West
intelligence which Colonel CARROL had received'
from Arragon and Catalonia was dated the lOth, of
February and that respeaing the movements of
Marshal SOULT'S army, came down only to the toth
ult. at which period its head-quarters were at Said-
Sierra, on the Minho.

It is stated, in the German Papers, that the Ens-
peror Alexander had appointed Prince Prosolowtiky,
who-commands.the Russian armies in Molda i 3 and
Wallachia, his Plenipotentiary at the
,Congress of

Commander in Chiet of .His Majesty's Ships 4nd Vessels
in the Mediterranean, to the honourable W. W. Pole,
dated on board the Ocean, at Malta, the 26th of January,
tzlog.
SIR,
The Imperiense having, with, other ships, been
employed in the Bay of Rosati to assist the Spaniards
in defending that fortress, and Captain Lord Coch-
rane taken on him the, defence of Trinity Castle, an
outwork of that Garrison, I have received from bun
a letter, dated the sth of December, a copy of which
is inclosed, stating the surrender of the Citadel of
'Rom by the Spaniards on that day, and of hii hav-
ing -embarked the garrison of Trinity Castle on
board the ships, which Castle he had, however, de-
stroyixl.
The heroic spirit and ability 4,hich has been
4Vinced by Lord Cochrane in defending this Cas-
tle, although so shattered in its works,
,against the
repeated attacks of the enemy, is an adMirable in-
stance of his Lordship's zeal ; and the distinguished
conduce of Lieutenants Johnson and Hoare, of the
Royal Marines, and the officers and men employed
in this affair under his Lordship, will doubtless be
very gratifying to. my Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty.

I have, &c.

MY LORD,
The Fortress of Resets being attacked by an.acmy
of Italians in• the service of France, in pursuande of
discretionary orders that your Lordship had .given
me, to assist the Spaniards wherever it could be
done with the most effea, .1 hastened here. The
. citadel, on the canhimo, was already halt invest
bed, and the enemy paking his approaches towattl4
the South West Bastion,
w.a.c_i your Lordship
knOws was blown down last war by the explosion of.
a magazine, and tumbled into the ditch ; a few
thin planks and dry-stones had, bgelt put up by the
Spanish Engineers, perhaps to hide • the detect; all
things were in the most deplorable state, both with-
out and within, even illeasurc6 for their powder,- and
saws for their fuses were not to be lead7-hats.and,
axes supplied their place. The Castle Of Trinidad,
situated on an eminence; but commanded by heights,:
was also invested; three twenty-four pounders bat-
tered in breach, t.' ie 'licit a fourth was afterwards
