LONDON,
Tuggp4Y, OBPTEUnght 14, 1807.

Tars morning we received Dutch Papers to the Pith
inst. They CUilt3ill 3 very important Decree issued by
the Patch Government against the Commerce of this
Comitry, by which all Vessels entering the Ports of

Flo Hand 4ire to give a double security, Which is to.n.:-
main until the legality of the Paper is fully acknow-
ledged, and until it is proved that these Vessels
have touched at no Enemy's Port, And if it
should appear that the Ship had touched at an
Enemy's Port, the double security to be'
mediate!), demanded of did sureties, and the amount
paid into the Public Treasury.
If any goads of Engli,b manufacture, or coming

from an en:lily's port, are unloaded, they are not
only to he codiscated, but the double security also
to b,:leyied, end the Ship obliged immediately to
put to sea; and in -case of bad weather, to have
no shelter, except under the strictest precaution.
Like vise all Correspondence, Journals, &c. coming
iu a neutral flag, to be seized and burnt, and all
passengers who cannot prove that they do nor
code from the British Isles, to be immediately sent
out of the Dutch territories,
This is the substance of the Decree, and which
is direEted to be carried into execution with the
utmost stridness, for which purpose all such Troops
and Vessels as way be ne;:essary are to be placed
at the dispoAal of the Minister of Finance. Thu
pretexts, so often descanted upon by BONAPARTE,

are urged as the reasons iur this Decree, namely,
the obiaittinz, a general Peace, and the independence
of Ma &as,
hewe• Papers contain Extraeta from the Paris
Journals of the tat instant, but there is nothing ;ti
them of importance..

An account is given of the Mtion between the
Russian and Turkish Flews, by which it appears
that the latter lost four Ships of the Line taken,
three burnt, and two driven on shore.

Tll VI morning arrived a Mail from Libbon, brought
to Fulinuath by the lawns/taut Packet, in thirteeen

days.

We mentioned yesterday, in a part of our impres-
sion), a rumour that accounts to the 4th instant had
rec,:ived from our Fleet off Copenhagen, stating
that the bombardment had conatnenced, and that
tile City was on fire in two or three places. It was
also stated, on the other hand, that no bombard.
;bent had taken place up to the 3d, but that some
kind of negotiation had been entered into subsequent
to the departure of the Earnest Brig, on the 27th
utt. and that on the 3d inst. a Flag of Truce was
sent into Copenhagen.
Bote these statements depend equally upon ru.

;flour, as we cannot learn, trod any authority to be
depended upon, that any accounts of that date have
been received, and we can positively state that no
Dispatches have been received by Government since
those of the s3;th.

ILI the mean time some of the opponents of Mini-
sters are eagerly anticipating the failure of the Expe-
dition : we trust that a very short period will bring
us the complete disappointment of their hopes.

It has been erroneously asserted that General
WI3ITELOCKL► obtained his command through the
infiti,-L:,.e of the Duke of YORK. We have reason to
believe that the General was sent on the Expedition
to Buenos Ayres at the earnest entreaty of Mr.
WINDHAM.

It is proper that the public should know that
Lieutenant BARTHOLOMEW, of the Diadem, who is
stated by Admiral NlvititAy, in the last dispatches
respe&irtg Buenos Ayres, to have been of " infinite
service," who was " strongly recommended to him
by Admiral Stirling," is the person whose hard case
was the subject of Parliamentary inquiry, and whose
abilities were well known at the time when the cir-
cumstances alluded to happened. There can be
little doubt that the merits of this intelligent Officer
will not be overlooked, or his former treatment for-
gotten.

It is again asserted in a Paper of this morning,
that the Troops sent to the Island of Zealand were
many of them embarked without a tent. We are
enabled, on the contrary, positively to affirm, that
the most ample supplies of every description were
sent with the Expedition.
Mr. and Mrs. WINDHAM dined with her Royal
Highness the Princess of WALES, and her Serene
Highness the Duchess of ,BRUNSWICK, at Black-
heath, on Saturday.
Door A. B. FAL/ Lks NU, of Saekville-street, Fel-
low of the London College of Physicians, has been
appointed Physician Extraordinary to his Royal
Highness the Duke of SUSSEX.
Yesterday the LORD MAYOR went in state from
Guildhall to Cripplegate Church, where his Lordship
held a Wardmote for the eleEtion of an Alderman of
the Ward of Cripplegate, in the room Of Sir WILLIAM
STAINES, Kllt. deceased, when MATTHEW WOOD,
Esq. Citizen and Fishmonger, was unanimously
chosen.

Moststittra and the Fitsstou Passions have been
for the whole of the last week participators of the
magnificent hospitalities of Stowe: the Duke IJE
however, was on Sunday sent for to Lon-
don by express; and Moss lEU at repairs to Trentham
this day.

Sunday last, Captain CRONY, from Jersey, for
Southampton, was captured by a French Lugger
Privateer, between Portland and Christchurch Head.
The hands were taken out, and the Captain only:
kept on,board, with three passengers, who had se-
creted themselves below. As soon as the Privateer
had got some dirt: nee ;rom them in pursuit of a
Brig, the passengers came upon deck, and re took
her, and on Tuesday she arrived at South,:mpton.
The following instance of preservation, in a state
of uncommon peril, is perhaps as memorable as
any of thoSe which have, during the late season,
distinguished the eventful employment of the Green-
land tishery-:—A boat from the Volunteer, of Whit-
by, Capt. BenutioTosr, having'struck a large fish,
another boat was shortly afterwards rowed upon.
its back, in order to strike a second harpoon into
it, when the fish, by a sulden effurt to disengage
itself from its unwelcome visitants, sprung the boat
up into the air, a height of at least 16 feet, although
its contents, including the people, lishing-lines,
could loot weigh less than a ton, independent of the.
weight of the boat itself. On its descent, the boat
rolled over in the water three or four times, carrying
the people along with it ; yet, what is truly aston-
ishing, no material injury was sustained by any in-
dividual ; the .whole being taken out of the water
by other boats belonging to the same vessel, which
succeeded at length in killing and securing the hsh.
The keel of the boat, which was struck, was entire-
ly broken, and the bottom stove in, •
TUN THEATRE.—The season commenced last
night at Covent-Garden Theatre with the Tragedy
of Romeo Ulla Juliet, and the Farce of The Poor
m Soldier. Thu character of lie° was represented.
by Mr. Cu4situts KEYII4B, with a rate of al.)ility
that has rarely been equalled %chitin one remem-
brance. Ile nut only displayed due feelin,; and
judgnent, but struck out new lights in some pas-
sages, which shew a discriminating mind, that is not
disposed to take things merely upon trust. He WHs.
much applauded on his entrance i.nel during his per-
figinance,.—Miss SMITH was tender, aniinated, and
impressive in the part of Juliet. She also had a very
liberal greeting from this audience.-I,gwrs Was as
spirited as ever in Mercutio. He received
.a Very
flattering tribute of public regard.—The venerable
Huta., in his accustomed part of Kier Lawrence,
exhibited, amidst the marks of time, those proofs
of just conception and simplicity in acting that cha-
racterized the good old school. He was .cheert dby
a warm testimony of general respect.—ln the Farce
MvwnsN was received with tokens .of wel-
come, and he perfortnecl Darby with his usual
whim. INCLEDphI participated abundantly in the
honours of the night, and sung with his usual el-
lea. The parts of Norah and Kathleen were as,
signed to Miss BecTosi andAiss Me. nows. The
Theatre does not seem to have undergone any alter-
ation, but it has'had a thorough defecation, and ap-
peared neat and elegant. The house was much
better attended than is usual on an opening night.

NOLLEKINS, it is said, has commissions for near
eighty busts o Mr. Fox, and of Mr. PITT, the great
prop of civilized society, and the wisest and most
upright Statesman that ever existed;

" A man whn needs not marble for his name,
"Le !lice:iv wilt with pride record hts time."

Admiral Lord HOOD'S Government House in
Greenwich hospital was, through one of the ground
floor windows, entered on Friday night by a party of
bouse•breakers, who carried off a considerable quan-
tity of his Lordship's plate, and other property, un-
discovered, although there were lamps burning in
every part of the house, and the whole establish-
Meta of servant* resident therein with hit} Ifard3hip
at that time.
