PETITIONS TO THE REGENT.

Mr. WHITBREAD, seeing a Right Hon. Gentle-
man in his place, would take the liberty to ask him
whether he had communicated
,to his Royal High-
. miess the Prince Regent, that a Noble Lord, a
Alember of that House (Lord L. Gower), had in
his hands a Petition* signed by some thousands of
persons concerned in the Staffordshil'e Potteries,
which be was anxious to present to his Royal
Highness ?
Mr. Secretary RYDER replied, that he had com-
municated to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent
the letter which he had received from the, Noble

• Lord on'the subject ; but, previous to that commu-
' nication, he had answered the Noble Lord's letter,
by informing him that the usual mode of presenting
such Peti-tions was at the Levee, but that no Levee
diy having been 'appointed, to avoid delay, if the
Noble Lord would transmit the Petition to him, he
would immediately lay it before his Royal Highness
. the Prince Regent.
Mr. WHITBREAD observed, that the Noble Lord
had stated the other night, that having apprised his
constituents of the communication made to him by
the Right Hon. Gentleman, they had instrutled him
to present the Petition to the Regent in person. Had
the Right Hon. Getalernan stated this circumstance
tO htf, Royal Highness ? - -
Mr. RYDER said, that he was not aware of hay-
. in recetced any other communication himself from
the Noble Lord than that. which he had already
. mentioned.-

FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1812.

This morning an Anhoit Mail arrived, from which
we hate made the.jonowing extracts :

AN HOI,T; FEB.' 27.—The Gertilin Papers are still
stnpre3 ; bllt we have intelligence from Hamburg()
that it is generally believed there that war will im-
mediately be declared by France against Sweden.
A frigate has sailed from Copenhagen for the
coast of Norway, it is supposed; for the purpose of
joining the gun-boats there :'several Danish. naval
officers have also lately gone over land there.

Accounts from Petersburgh state, that the levy of
5'0,000 men, ordered some time since, has been
called out for organization.

COPENHAGEN, FEB. Majesty has ap-
pointed M. LEWENITAGEN, Merchant, of Copen-
hagen, Consul at Stralsund.. •

We mentioned'yesterday the capture of an Ame-;
tican vessel by a French printed-, and we should
be very glad that some of those Gentlemen, who
ebst;nately persist in stating that the Berlin and
Milan Decrees are repealed, could inform us upon
what ground the American was captured. We
shall be glad to bear bow Mr. MADISON will
ex,:la'n this event to the Americans. He will
find it rather` difficult to satisfy theM that the cap-
turing of American vessels, and killing and wound-
ing Atherican seamen, are
,proofs that the Berlin
and Itlilan decrees are repealed.._ The following
is the Letter of the American Captain, giving an
account Of the treatment he experienced

- " I sailed frern Savannah on the ist of February, and yes-
ttrday arrived a-breast of the
,Start Point .at tv:O o'clock in
the morning, and perceived a sail coming up fast: at-three
was tiailve.„ and, cn answering, from Savannah, bound to
;11-notith, and. that I was an American brig, he ran up
al.)ogside, and kept up,a fire of.musquetry
„for eight or ten
tia.nutes, which. has,doneus conEidertble damage: Ile after-
wards boardeli us with twenty or thirty men, hove the Mate
fr;erb();l:d, waunded inostof the crew, myself they heat out
of the ca'oinfinto the forecastle, and then back into the cabin,
took the hat off my head, ,broke open all my chests and
trunks, and plundered them cferery thing that was \--aluable;
took my pal ars, writing4lesk,*and all the cabin stores: took
myself and all the etew on board their vessel, which proved
to be a French privateer, but her name they would not tell :
steered to
sax southward for the first port in France. In the
morring about eil,ht or
.nine o'clock, she perceived a brig of
war in chase; they bore up for the Hannah, took out all their
two, put myselt and crew into the boat, and cast us of the
mercy of the wavos, with a small boat, all stove to pieces.
1 waved a handkerchief to• the brig of which they per-
ceived from the mast-head, tacked, and picked us up, run up
to my vessel and took charge of her, and steered her course
for Ply mouth."
