Vernment. _ _

The admirable speech of Mr. Hume, and the complete ex-
posure he has made of the illustrious Chancellor of our Uni-
versity, is regarded in this country as among the most im-
portant circumstances of the present Session of Parliament.
We have not forgotten that the Grand Treasurer, who figures
in that debate, was, at the very time that he was propagating
those dangerous societies among the soldiery, an actual Mem-
ber of the Administration, from which the People's House has
happily delivered us, and under whose fangs we are resolved
to hazard all rather than fall again. As far as depends on the
people, this exposure has more effectually barred the door
against the re-admission of the Tories than any event which has
°centred since their expulsion. The excuses which are offered
for his Highness, and his subordinates, in the attempt to con-
vert the army into a host of Orange janissaries, have not
mended the matter a whit. If they are to be believed, they
only shew that there is no security in the personal responsibi-
lity which is so easily shuffled off under the plea of ignorance.
We are not, however, such gulls as to believe in that assertion
of ignorance, having sufficient experience in the protestations
of detected culprits not to place too much confidence even in
Princes.

DANISH CLAIMS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin—Your excellent remarks on the narrow views of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer in meeting the Danish claims,
induces me to draw your attention to the apathy of honourable
and leading Members of the House of Commons, to whom
the shipping interest have been accustomed to look up to as
their natural supporters in cases of injustice. Among the third
class of Danish claimants there are many cases of shipping
that could be pointed out to show that the Government ought
to indemnify them prior to all others, as the losses were spe-
cifically occasioned by its own acts, and at the same time the
claim on the peeple of England generally is equally strong, as
the public service received out of the Danish ships and car-
goes that amount to which the third class have a greater claim
than the book debts. The case of a neighbour of mine, Cap-
tain Heywood, of the John and Elizabeth, is one in point.
He sailed from the Humber on 10th September, 1807, and
arriving in Copenhagen Roads on the 16th of the same month,
went on board the flag ship of Admiral Lord Gambier, who
was also a Lord of the Admiralty, and tendered his vessel as
a transport, when, on receiving for answer, that transports
were not required, he requested to be informed whether he
could proceed without danger of molestation up and down the
Baltic, to which the Admiral and Lord of the Admiralty re-
plied, that he could do so with perfect safety, as all matters
had been amicably adjusted with Denmark. In consequence
of this assurance on the part of Admiral Lord Gambier, Cap-
tain Heywood proceeded on his voyage to Stockholm, where
he took in a cargo for London, and departed, continuing his
homeward-bound voyage till the 21st November, when it blow-
ing tremendously strong from the westward, he was obliged
to take shelter under the Isle of Bornholm, from whence
several boats came off under pretence of selling fish and
vegetables, as usual in peaceable times, and watching
their opportunity they overpowered the crew, and seized
the ship. Whether the fishermen who thus robbed him
of his ship and cargo ever rendered an account to their
own Government has not been ascertained, but during the
many years Capt. Heywood had known the Baltic, there had
been no instance of privateering or molesting of the trade,
which may be accounted for by thedDanes having bound them-
selves by a convention with Sweden, to the following articles,
viz :
" Art. 10. The Baltic being always to' be considered as a
sea shut, and inaccessible to the armed ships of distant powers
at war, is declared so anew by the contracting powers, who are
resolved to maintain in it the most perfect tranquillity."
" Art. 12. But if the unfortunate case should occur that any
Power, &,c., shall molest the innocent navigation of the sub-
jects of their Danish and Swedish Majesties, then will they
make use of reprisals wherever that shall be thought fitting, the
Baltic always excepted."
On the other hand, our cruizers had been prohibited by an
Admiralty order from disturbing the mercantile trade of that
sea. It must, therefore, be evident to every one that the pro-
ceeds of the Danish prizes ought in the very first instance to
have been applied to such a case.
