DECEMBER 9.

The Spaniards are nnw fitting nut eighteen Sail
of the Litwin. their 4iiinrent Puns. Wu learn, by
nut' account's-from Spain, that circumstance hat
alarmed the Merchants not 'a little, as they .enter-
tail) no doubt of being Soon engaged .in'aelual hat.,.
tilitics with, England, in spite of 91.1 the sacrifices
that have- been math. by the Court of Madrid, to
preserve its Neutrality. The press for Seanien is
still carried on in thcSpanish Ports.

On the 14. th inst. during a v klent gale of wind,
the Tine, bctooging to Greeter, laden with a cargo
of 'c'uals for Dublin, was driven on the rucks nff rite

Coast of Dunleary, in Ireland, and total!), 1
The crew consisted of John Taylor (tilt masts r),
his son, a boy about'r3, and three seamen, all of
whom perished.

The Lords of the Admiralty have appointed Capt. -
'l. ROB PRTS, of the Royal Navy, to a command in
the Sea Fencible Service in Ireland.

The Eliza, of Dublin, for Neath, with copper
ore from Wicklow, was lost at Bray the rsth inst.
A brig, supposed to he an American, was lost
on Mizen.head Bank, Wicklow, the 16111, with
alt her crew. A body and some staves were driven
on shore, supposed to belong to the wreck.

The Thomas, Capt. WINDER, from Liverpool, is
arrived at Bernice. - When off Barbadues, she fell
in with three French Privateers ; when after an en.
gagemcnt of two hours, she beat them off.

The Ann, SMITH, from Sicily, h arrived at Gib.
raltar. The Captain states,, that thelobn and Ann
Brig had sprung her main-mast, and the Dub of
Kent her foremast ; and that many of the Fleet got
damaged in a heavy gale, between Malta and Gib•
raitar.

Some of the Papers of last night attached con-
siderable importance to the following extrad of a .
letter from Sweden, given in an Edinburgh Paper:
" You mit depend upon it, that the EmpEstort has re-
fused to send another Amnassador to Paris in place of M
Icor, r, and the coolness between the Courts_ increases. Tile
Danes arc much afraid of a visit from, the French. If tiler
don't' invade Holstein, it isi the general opinion that the!
will take possession of Lubec. BONAPARTE must dispose'
of his arms es, whether he drowns them in the British Chan-
nel or otherwise."
Upon a letter, however, of such a nature, with.
Out any date, and coining'. in no shape that can
entitle it to be considered as derived from any good '
authority, we cannot conceive that .the slightest
reliance ought. to be placed, however it may agree
in some measure with intelligence received in a
much lessluestionable manner. It is very easy to
fabricate letters of this description, without date
or place, and certainly there shou'l be some mark
of authenticity about 'communications of such a na-
ture before they are magnified into importance. •
