BERLIN, FEBRUARY 6.

Within these few days, orders have arrived from
Paris, to complete, with all possible expedition, the
cavalry of reserve ; they are now purchasing here
and in the environs, the two thousand horses which
were deficient. The works in the arsenal of Berlin
are carried oil with the greatest activity, and the for-
tresses of Magdeburg and Custr:a are to be amply

pro v isioned.
It is reported that th.?. Spanish fleets have put to sea.
It is to be hoped that the misunderstanding be-.
tween Bavaria and Wirtemberg will be amicably ad-
justed.

The affair of honour between Baron de Wrede and

environs of Brannan.

ST. PETERSBURGH, FEF. 3.

During the interval of repose which the Russian
armies have enjoyed since the peace with France and
the armistice with Turkey, our. Court has been•very
mindful to recruit their numbers, and improve their
condition. General tittichovden, during his stay in
Russian Poland, has there organized a force, estima-
ted at 100 regiments, consisting for the greatest part
of fresh recruits. Of those regiments; only 23 or-30
have remained on•the spot : the rest have marched
partly to Moldavia and partly to Finland.
In the Ceramissariat and Victualling,Department
fcr the armies, an important change has taken place.
Both these departments are now united in the hands
of the Privy Councillor De PopofF.
The Duke of Richelieu, Military Governor of
Cherson, is arrived here from our Southern Provin-
ces, and the Major-General Muller is arrived from
Paris.

Lord StDMOUTH, before their Lordships should

There was no instance of our detaining vessels in
ports with a view to subsequent condemnation ee
in cases where there was a moral certainty that hi
lities were unavoidable. That we had not detai
the Danish vessels from such motives, was eei,
from the whole scope of our own declaration.
Lord HAWKESBURY said, that the subject( ,
which he had been applied to, not being connect
with his own department, he could not, at theme
ment, enter into such details as the Noble bed nivi
perhaps expect. He could only say generally, rt
he apprehended the Danes had not, in the install
complained of, been treated with a greater degree ,
severity than had been exercised towards the sufnec
of other countries, similarly circumstanced. •.
Lord SIDMOUTH observed, that the &Ole se,
cretary of State had said nothing as to whether di
Danes were or were not prisoners of war?
Lord HAWKESBURY replied, that ti,1...

undoubtedly considered as prisoners, but tharfoli
particular considerations, many of them had b ,‘„

been made to the Danish Government, but they hal

fiscated property did in fact amount to so large 2 sun
as two. snilLons ? He thought so large a fund as re.
suited from the Admiralty Droits should be availAbk
in some shape for the public service.
Lord HAWKESBURY did not know the mite
amount, but conceived the sum mentioned to be
greatly exaggerated. Of the mode in which dein:
duce of this fund was disposed, accounts were lite
time to time presented to both Houses of Pariiarnemi
Lord SIDMOUTH reminded their Lordships, that
he had only stated the amount of the condenthedik.

ORDERS IN COUNCIL.
Lord LAUDE RDA LE, pursuant to notice, moved
for a copy of any communications which had take,
place with his Majesty's allies, relative to the Wets
in Council. He grounded the motion on the impos.
sibility of giving effect to those orders, without the
concurrence of our allies, as it was not to be expected
that neutrals would conic into our ports" to pay a duty
on the re-exportation of their cargoes, it they -could
evade it by going to Gottenburgh, Messina, &c.
Lord FLAW KESBURY stated, that contain:lip.'
tions had been made, under the most favourable atm
pices, for giving complete effect to the OrdersinCoub
cil, but that the proposed arrangements were noted
ficiently matured to be as yet laid before Parliament
After some remarks from Lords Auc KLAN!), Gant
and LAUDERDALE, tending to accuse Ministers of ria.
gligence and impolicy, the motion was withdrawn.
AMERICA.

Lord LAUDERDALE then moved fora copy
of any answer returned to Mr. Maddison's note oft*:
29th of March, respecting the Order in Council oftbe
7th of January, 1807, or of any instructions relative
thereto, transmitted to the British Minister in An*
rica. He conceived, however, that the papers moved
for, pro forma, had no existence ; for had Mr. Maddir
son's objections been answered, as they ought to Jun
been, it could not be imagined that they would have
been reiterated precisely in the same terms by die
American Minister here, so late as the month of Oc•
tober. _ _

Lord HAWKESBURY admitted that no answer
had been given to Mr. Maddison's note. The reason
of this, anti how it bore in a general view of the sub.
ject, might be matter of future discussion. He w►shed,
however, to remark, that Mr. Maddison took a
broader objection than that of Mr. Kist, which had
been so properly answered by Lord Howick. His
objection went to the right of stopping the coasting
trade from port to port on the enemy's coast.
After a few words from Lords HoLs.AND and KIN%
reprehend ing the conductof Ministers in oot removing,
without delay, such part of the American Minister's
objections as proceeded from a wrong interpretatice
of the Order in Council, the motion was put and ne•
gati ved.—Adjourned.

Two new Writs were, on the motion of Mr. SIMEON, tr•

IRISH TITHES.
Mr. PARNELL pre ented a Petition from the Freeholders ef
Queen's County, in Ireland, praying that the House of Commons
may take under its consideration the present state of the'l itheem
that country. This Petition, he said, was drawn up from D°
party views, it was signed by some beneficed Clergymen to the
Country, and he himself stated that every Clergyman with whoa[
he had conversed upon the subject was anxious for the commute-
tion of Tithes. So important he considered this !moan" that
he wacconvinced it would /conduce more than any other tepee'
ent which could be adopted to allay the discontents existerf
that country. He hoped, therefore, that Ministers would, is&

the accomplishment of this object, if not. he shosdd himeargSsie

lir. HORNER, in pursuance of his notice, called
aitention of the House to these licences. He °b-
tile
og, that they required very serious consideration

acme loroself to the circumstances of fees imposed
fee the granting of these licences ; and his intention
was to move, te when the accounts of these fees
iota be received, to have them referred to a Com-
xittge of finance. He then moved that the Papers
already on the table, giving an account of fees recei-
ved by public officers, for trade licences, dated the
Nth and 1 lth of February last, should be referred to
a Committee of Finance.
On the question being put,
th, ROSE stated to the Honourable Gentleman,
titan inquiry has been going forward for some time
lithe different offices, to be laid before the Privy
council, and when they were ready they should be

At a late hour last night we received Dutch Pa-
Pen to the Ist inst. and French to the 25th ult.
from which we have given large extracts in the pre-
ceding columns, with -some additional articles from
the Hamburgh and Altona Papers received yesterday.
The Russians are active in their preparations for
attacking Sweden. They are now stated to have en-
tered Finland. General'. Brlxtiovpor, who has the
crud' command in that 'direction, is stated to have
"Irranized not less than 180 regiments, most of which

are froth fresh levies, and the whole are said to have
proceeded to Finland and Moldavia.
On the left Bank of The Danube the Russian pre_
partitions for renewing the war are vigorous ; and the
movements of the French in various directions are
doubtless connected with these preparations ; in short,
the fate of the Ottoman Empire appears to be finally
sealed.
By accounts from Vienna, it would appear, how&
ever, that the Poase has now opened its eyes to the
danger with which it is threatened; and it is reported
they now solicit from England that aid, which, not
long ago, they refused with disdain. The idea is, that
they have agreed to allow this country to occupy
Egypt and the Morea.
These papas take no notice of the Rochefort squa-
dron, except by way of rematks on the statements
given in the English papers.
It appears, however, that the enemy seriously me-
ditates an invasion of Sicily ; and with this there can
be no doubt the motions of . that fleet are associated.
Previously to the projected attack on Sicily, the Eng-
lish are to be dispossessed of Fort Scylla, situated on
a rock on the Continental side of the Streights of
Messina. The army for this purpose is assembling in
Calabria, where King JOSEPH is shortly expected to
join it.
The Toulon squadron is said to have quitted that
port on the 18th of January, the day after the Rochefort
squadron escaped from itsharbour. Admiral THORN-
BOROUGH is stated to have immediately sailed in pursuit
of the former, which had been seen off Malta on the 24th
ult. The Archipelago was believed Lobe its place of des-
tination ; and, with a view to obstruct its course, Lord
Cowscwoon was himself said to be going, with the
rest of the fleet under his command, to take his station
off Zante. Others however think, and with some
probability, that it may be bound for Alexandria. If
this information be correct, and the Rochefort squa-
dron be intended (as has been supposed) for Sicily, it
will find that island without a ship to defend it, and
may perhaps have time to transport some troops thi-
ther from the Italian coast, as Sir RICHARD Stna-
WAN was confessedly eleven days after it in the pur-
suit. Two regiments had been left at Gibraltar by
Sir JOHN MOORE, in order to be sent back to Sicily ;
and as many regiments, of cavalry arc to be sent thi-
ther from this country. •
Private letters, received with the above journals,
state that France entertains some dissatisfaction at
the conduct of Austria and Russia ; and they even
suggest the possibility of a renewal of hostilities.—
With the experience of so many confederacies, de-
feated confederacies, we cdnfess this expectation would
not flatter or cheer us. BONAPARTE, it is said, is gone
to Bourdeaux, from whence, it is conjectured, he will
proceed to Spain.
Other letters from Holland state, that the prices of
colonial produce have risen enormously. American
vessels are allowed to enter the Dutch ports ;—but
such as are discovered to have touched at a British
harbour, uniformly fall under the rigour of BONA-
PARTE'S decree. All the ships and cargoes detained
in Holland have been condemned, and the greatest
distress prevails among the merchants.

PORTUGAL.

By the American ship Unice, letters were rester
day received in town from Lisbon to the 4th Irebru.
ary, which contain information of much importance.
It appears by them, that on the 23d December last
BoNAPARTE signed at Milan a Decree, or Manifesto,
by which he finally determined the fate of Portugal.
This Decree was not promulgated at Lisbon until the
Ist day of February.
SUBSTANCE OF THE DECREE.
It declares the throne of Pcrtugal abdicated by the family of I
Braganza, which is never more to reign ; and that henceforward
the kingdom of Portugal is to be united to and considered as part
of the dominions of France.
It recommends the cultivation of friendship between the troops
of France and Portugal ; to cement which he promises, that those
of Portugal shall hereafter be considered as sharers, and entitled to
participate in the glory-obtained by the troops of France in the
memorable battles of Marengo, Jena, Austerlitz, &c.
It dissolves the Regency formed by the Prince Regent, the
members of which are placed in various stations in the public de.
partments, and are, in future, to act under the controul of the
French Government.
In the beginning of the month of February, JUNOT
issued an order for a further contribution on the people
of forty millions of crusadoes (about £400,000 ster-
ling), to be paid by three instalments, the first of which
was to be paid on the 10th of March, the second in
May, and the third in June. The Chiefs of Cities
and Towns to be allowed to tender the church-plate
in part payment of such contributions, it being con-
sidered only necessary to retain in the churches such
a quantity of plate as should be deemed sufficient for
use in the ordinary performances of divine worship.
The goods of British manufacture, of which ac-
counts had been given in, were to be sold by the
holders ; who, on effecting the sales, were to pay into
the treasury one-third part of the amount of such sales
for the benefit of the State.
The Tax on. Income, which was previously at ten
per cent. has been augmented to thirty, and is to be
paid by the people in every part of the dominions, ex-
cepting those only who reside in those towns and
places through which the troops of France were neces-
sarily obliged to march on the way to Lisbon. Such
are to be altogether exempt from this tax, in conse-
quence of the severity of their losses on that occasion.

Letters *ere received yesterday from St. Domingo
down to the middle of December. There has been
Much severe fighting between the forces of Permit and
CinustoptiF. We arc not yet in possession of the
details of the various conflicts which have taken place,
but we understand they have terminated generally in
favour of the former.

Two American ships have arrived at the Island of
St. Thomas from American ports, since the embargo
took place. Thus it appears that the embargo is not
strictly enforced.

Some letters from Holland, dated so late as the 29th
ult. state, that several American vessels which had come
into the ports of this country in pursuance of the Orders
in Council, and which hadbeen boarded by our cruizers►
were allowed to unload without any molestation what-
ever. \V are informed of the names of these vessels,
but which we do not think proper to mention. The
master of one of them, which left an English port on
the 25th January, writes that he did not attempt to
conceal the circumstance, and that he experienced no
obstruction, although he was laden with coffee and
sugar, which are articles peculiarly suspicious. It is
therefore inferred by this writer, and that indeed ap-
pears to be the general inference of those whose letters
we have seen► that it is intended to relax, if not to
suspend, the operation of BONAPARTE'S anti-corruner-
cial decrees, with regard, at least, to America.

A Gentleman who left Spain at the commencement
of the last month, and who is just arrived in this coun-
try, states, that at the time of his. departure, there
were above 130,000 French troops in Spain, whose
presence had inspired much terror in the population of
the country. They had not been guilty of any exac-
tions or oppressions, but they seemed very anxious to
impress the Spaniards with an idea that resistance to
their will would be attended with dangerous conse-
quences. Their will and object, according to the ge-
neral apprehension of reflecting men in Spain, is a
revolution in the Government of that country. That
revolution, however, is not expected to involve the
total removal of the. House of Bourbon, but the sub-
jugation of what is to remain of that House to the will
of BONAPARTE, by the marriage of the PRINCE
of ASTURIAS to a Member of his family, or rather
that of the Empress JOSEPHINE, whose niece has been
for some tme destined for the Heir Apparent of
Spain.

BREAD.—There being no Court cf Aldermen held
to-day, the LORD MAYOR, after inspecting the returns,
ordered it to remain the same as last week.
Lord GAMBIER is, it is said, to have the command
of the Channel Fleet, in which Admiral HARVEY is
to hoist his flag. The French, too, are rt ported to
have made some demonstrations of moving in Brest
harbour ; this may probably be with a view to mask
their other naval operations.
Admiral BERTIE is to have the command at the Cape.
Some more Papers relative to Portugal, were last
night presented to the House of Commons. They
consist of the Correspondence of Mr. Fox and Mr.
WINDHAM with Lord ROSSLYN and General SIMcoE,
relative to the military part of the expedition under
the orders of Lord Sr. VINCENT, which appeared off
Lisbon in 1806 ; together with an account of the con-
ferences with the Portuguese Minister on that occasion.
They furnish nothing new, and are now rendered al-
together uninteresting.
Danes have published a formal contradiction
of Lord CASTLEREAGH'S estimate of the force in
Zealand at the time Copenhagen surrendered. His
Lordship stated the total number of Danish troops at
35,000, whereas the Danes admit that there were
7000 only in all Zealand, exclusive of 800 militia,
who were destitute of every military equipment.
A German Journalist observes, that the sale of Di-
vinity at the last Leipsic book-fair, was dull, and that
books of Physic were a mere drug.
ROLLS COURT. ••-•• Last night the cause between
Lord MAHON and his father, Earl STANIIOI'E, came
on to be heard before the MASTER of the Rom.s.
Three Counsel were heard, but the further consider-
ation of the case stands over till this evening.
MADAME CATALANI'S PARTY.---A few days ago
Madame Catalan entertained a large party of per-
sons of the first distinction. Amongst the company
were—
I His Royal Highness the Duke of• Berry—the Duke of Deven-
shire and Lady H. Cavendish—the Marquis zn Marchioness of
Stafford and their Daughter—Marquis and Marchioness of Head-
fort and Daughter—Count and Countess of Eesborough—Mar-
quis of Abercorn—Lord and Lady Boringdon—Lora and Lady
Harrowby—Lady Elizabeth Foster—Lord Grenville, Lord G. L.
Gower Lord Robert Fitzgerald, Lord Castlereagh, Count de
Vaudreuil, and many other gentlemen of the Duke of Berry's suite.
Madame Catalani gratified the company with se-
veral favourite airs. At 12 o'clock the cosapany par-
took of an elegant slipper.
DRURY-LANE.—Mr. SHERIDAN'S Pizarro attracted
a crowded House last night. The Performance was
excellent, and received the most unbounded applause.
In and Out of Tune followed, with much success.
JOHNSTONE'S two songs were universally encored.
Mrs. BLAND, Miss LYON, and Miss DUNCAN, were
severally applauded.
THEATRE., COVENT-GARDEN.—Light night Miss
NORTON performed the very interesting part of Jane
Shore, in Rowe's Tragedy of that title, in a stile which
exhibited indications of greatly rising merit. Her
action is sometimes a little too redundant, but her
general deportment is graceful, and her voice is mel-
lifluous, and *of considerable compass, though she ma-
nages it more artificially than is necessary. Miss
SMITH is now well established in Alicia, and CHARLES
Kr.anme's Hastings is an animated delineation ; but
the Play has lost much of its late attraction by the
abdication of his brother.—MUßßAY'S Gloster is a very
inflated performance.—The new Pantomime fol-
lowed, and GRIMALDI soon dissipated the gloom pro,
daced by the Tragedy.

Extract of a Letter received by the Eliza, Captain 131tovro,
arrived at Liverpool, dated
" Port-au-Prince, lan. 10, 1908.
,4 We have had another affair here, which bears a
strong resemblance to that projected formerly, by
Yayou, against the life of our President. On the
7th December, a General, named M'Glonar, who
commanded at Jarmel, and who was confederated
with Yayou, put himself at the head of his troops,
for the avowed purpose of producing an insurrection
against this place.
The plot being discovered by Petion, he dis-
patched two of his officers (Bonnet and de Troy) to
wait the arrival of the traitors. These officers per-
mitted M'Glonar to enter the town, but remained in
full possession of the forts. Whilst he was engaged
in endeavouring to gain over the troops from their
allegiance, de Troy rode in, and secured M'Glonar.
Five pistnl shots were discharged at de Troy without
effect, and the rest of the party fled. M'Glonar was
sent to prison, who, in a few hours after his confine-
ment, swallowed poilon, with which he had pre-
viously supplied himself, and was found dead. Ano-
ther of his companions, who was taken in his flight,
blew out his brains before his pistol could be wrested
from his hand."
Simmons, the Murderer, was executed yesterday,
pursuant to his sentence, at half past 11 o'clock in the
forenoon, between Hertford and Ware. He behaved
with that air of indifference which (narked his con-
duct during his trial. He shook hands with three
persons who accompanied him to the scaffold, and
whispered a few words to the goaler before he was
turned off.
FIRE.--About one o'clock this morning, a fire
broke out in the premises of Mr. Caudle, rocking-horse
maker, in St. Clement's-lane, Strand, which raged for
near two hours, with the greatest fury, threatening de-
struction to the whole neighbourhood, but the speed,
arrival of the fire engines prevented the flames extend,
in further. There is a large timber-yard adjoining
Mr. Caudle's workshops, but most fortunately the
principal part of the wood had been removed widths
the last few days, otherwise the consequences must
have been dreadful. No lives -were lost, though seMe
of the inhabitants escaped in a state of nudity.
