THE SUN.

1101.414 QUI& DICAILE VALSIthI AUDILAT

LONDON, APRIL z, :804.

Ws are extremely sorry to announce the loss of
His Majesty's Ship the Magnificent, of 74. guns,
Capt. jEttvls. It is said that she struck on a sunken
rock neat Brest ; but it is stated in a Letter from
our Plymouth Correspondent, that she was lost off
Ireland.--Both accounts, however, concur in stating
that the Crew were saved.

We. received this morning the Monitturs of the
Ith, i 211), and 13th ult. but, they bring no in.
telligence whatever respelling the fate of MCA TAU
and PIC*EGRU.—They have not yet been tried,
nor is it stated when that ceremony is to take place:
There are some further derails tespeaing the arrest
of GEORGES, from which it appears that he made
a most desperate resistance : one of the Officers
who attempted to arrest him he shot on the spot,.
and another he' wounded so desperately, that his
recovery is very doubtful., The properly found
upon GEORG es,which is stated to have been be-
tween 3 and 40001, has been given to the widow
and children of the inn he snot.

The accounts whidt we received some time ago,
of Lord NitLbw; appearing before Algiers, .to
demand. that the British Consul should be rein-
stated in his situation, were so contradiaory,
that some doubts were entertained of the fait.
It appears, however, by a letter from the French
Commissary at Algiers to the Minister of Ma.
tine, that Lord NRLSON arrived before Algiers
on the Isth of January with nine Skil of the Line,
and demanded that Mr. FALCON, the British Con.
sul, stmuld be honourably restored to his station,
and that some Neapolitan and Maltese Ships which
had been captnred, although they had British, Passes,
should be given up. The Oey, however, refused
to comply with any of these demands, and after some
days spent in fruitless negotiation, Lord NELSON,
retired. Vpon this suhjett we can only express
the same sentiments that we did when the circum.
itance first came to our knowledge, viz. our regret
that the attempt should have been made, or that the
appearance of force tilioul4 have been resorted to,
unless it was determined to proceed to extremities to
enforce a compliance with our demands. The cha.
rafter of the British Navy ought urdoubtedly to
be maintained in every quarter of the globe, but if
there is one part more than another in which it is
essential to the interests of Great Eiritain, that that
Charatler should stand high, it is in the Mcdi.

terranean.
Letters from Rotterdam dated the 6th of last month,
Irate alit no doubt is entertained that an attack has
been made upon (Vim by Admiral I lARTZitvtt, with
the Fleet and Forces under his command. It the
attack was made before our Troops in that Wand
had been reinforced, we shall entertain the most
serious apprehensions for the safety of that valuable
Settlement.

Four Cottenourgh Mails arrived this morning.
The fat: of Count WORONZW having retired from
the Russian Ministry is confirmed, and it is gene_
rally supposed that he will be succeeded by Count
MARcoFF. Though we have never been very
sanguine in our hopes of any aaive co.operation
by the Northern Powers, yet we cannot but con.
suffer this event as favourable to Great Britain, for
Count Mnltcon, has had ample means of observing
the treachery and despotism of the French Govern-
ments end must feel the necessity of setting some
limits to a Power which never telaxes one moment in
its efforts to tlestroy all that remains of the
pendence ref 14;orope.

Private ,eaters are said to have been received
from the Continent, which state, thac the French
had taken POSSeSikti of, Natter, and had made the
ROyal Family prisoners. We state• it merely as
report, to which we by po means give implicit
credit indeed, we think it very immoinhle

that Iris NSAFOUTMf Ailesitsve(avou u stin,fr
himself to be surprized in his Capital by the French,
whin his retreat to Sicily might hive been so easily
accomplished, end which we know was determined
upon, whenever the French made any attempt to
to take possession of his continental dominions.

We learn from good authority, that the Danes;
will not surer a French Privateer to enter any of
their Ports, without the utmost necessity..... The,
Pilots all along the Coast are particularly cautious
what vessels they take charge of.

IXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM GOTrIINIIVRG,
MARCH. 49.

" A Russian Courier with Dispatches for Count
WottoNow in London, will sail to-day for Eng.
land. .This Courier has performed the journey from
Petersbuigh hither in seven days, which is almost
incredible. His Dispatches relate to the resigns.
tion of WORONTZOW, the Minister at St. Peters.
burgh, who has retired to his estate in the country.
His successor is not yet named, but there it'rea'sio n to
thick MAR C'OFF will be the mad"; if so, the '
nation and the new appointment may be both fa.
vourable to England ; for it is understood that Wo.
RONTEO Vi at Peteraburgh was by no means a friena
to the English; and surely MAR Cdr! cannot be'
expated to prove one to ,the Pane!), alter the treat,.
ment he received from BONAIMARTII Et Paris. '
4, An Englisit Courier left Petersburgh at the
same time with the Russian Out is supposed to
have taken the route of Husum) ; from this it would
appear that Sir JOHN WARREN thought the resig.
nation of WORONTEOW of importance at this time."
