for London, is on shore in Marsh Bay : her cargo is
expected to be saved. A ship, supposed to be an
American, is riding in Westgate Bay, with only her
foremast standing ; another vessel is also riding there,
totally dismasted. A gun-brig is riding very close in
with the shore, with the loss of her main-mast, and it
is feared will strike at low water. A brig in ballast,
with yellow sides, is on shore near Kingsgate. The
Cecilia, MARK, from St. Michael's for London, that
went on shore yesterday, is got off, and is now safe iii
the harbour.

A Russian frigate Was ina pert of_ Sicily. She caused

At the beginning of this month the English landed

nearly all were taken prisoners of war. Their object
was to seize cattle, and plunder the inhabitants.

FOREIGN JOURNALS.

Another vessel has arrived from Holland with let-
ters and journals to the 19th instant. The prival.:,
letters state, that the embargo is about to be more
rigidly enforced in consequence of the discovery made
by the Dutch Government, that the ships which had
gone out, bonded for friendly ports, had actually-sailed
for England. Several vessels have been forfei-e1
upon this discovery, and a general suspicion seems to
prevail as to all vessels about to sail. Through the
prevalence of this suspicion, two vessels on the point
of sailing were stopped, at the moment the above ves-
sel was coming away. The contents of the printed
papers are interesting [see preceding columns], but
the following is the most important article which they
present :

MADRID, JUNE S.
This day was published, in the name of his Ma-
jesty the Emperor of France, &c. a proclamation to
the Spanish Nation. The following is a translation
of the more important passages :
Spaniards ! After a long lingering disease, your
nation sunk into decay. I have seen your sufferings;
lAI ill relieve them. Your 'greatness makes a part of
mine. Your Princes have ceded to me all their rights
to the Spanish Crown. I will not reign over your
provinces, but I will acquire an eternal right to the
love and gratitude of your posterity. Your monar-
chy is old—it must be renovated, that you'may enjoy
the blessings of a renovation which shall not be pur-
chased by civil war or desolation. Spaniards I I
have convened a general assembly of the deputies of.
your provinces and towns, that I may know your
desires and wants. I shall lay down my rights, and
place your illustrious Crown upon the head of one
who resembles me ; securing you a Constitution,
which will unite the salutary power of the Sovereign
with the liberties and rights of the Spanish nation. It
is my will, that my memory' shall be blessed by your
latest posterity, and that they shall say—he was the
restorer of our country."
" Given at Bayonne, Aelff 25, 1808."

Private accounts received yesterday mention a fact
which, if true, belies the professions of consideration
and humanity expressed in the above Proclamation.
They state that the Marquis de Hunn, a determined
enemy of French influence, has, with the whole of
his family and faithful domestics, been put to death
by a party of French soldiers ; • who, in compliance
' with the orders they had received, forced their way
into the house of the Marquis, in the dead of the
night, and, horrible to relate, murdered in cold blood
every person they discovered, amounting to upwards
of thirty. We know not how to give credit to such a
diabolical transaction : it is out of the usual line
,of State cruelty, which commonly abuses some form
ci justice to destroy its devoted victims.

FOREIGN LVTLILIGENCE.,

L7GHOaN, MARCH e.
Hitherto no inreiligence has been received of the
Rcehctort squadron, commanded by Rear-Admiral
AND. We cnly know that it consists of six ships
of the Pri, several frigates, and light ships. The
Madrid Papers say, that the Spanish squadron in the
port of Cadiz, under the command of Admiral Apo-
DArn, has received orders to unite itself with the
French squadron under Admiral ROSILLY. The Spa-
ni,:h squadron is in full readiness to put to sea on the
first opportunity, and is victualled for three months.
The D..nish merchant ships which were hcre have
been partly sold, and the remainder will continue.in
our port till the return of peace with England.

FRONTIERS OF TURKEY, MARCH 8_
According to accounts from Constantinople, re-
cei7ed by way of Ragusa, such late quantities of
cotton mil coffee have arrived in that capital from
A, abi.t, that the prices must soon fall greatly in those 1
European countries that border upon Turkey. A
letter from Smyrna, dated the 25th of January, con-
tains the following information :
" For some time past articles of merchandize from
Ge7rnany have been received here by the caravans
from European Turkey. These caravans have passed
w ii little or no trouble through the different bodies
light troops dispersed in the different provinces of
the o:tornan En.pre., Our port is blockaded by the
English ; but, notwithstanding, vessels loaded with
pro visions from the neighbouring counties arrive here*
from time to time. The castle which defends the en-
trance of the port is in such a state of strength, that
it is very improbable the enemy will make any attempt
upon it."

BANKS OF THE MAINE, MARCH 14.
In the German Papers 'we read an article, dated
the Bth of March, containing the following informa-
tion : « The negotiations between the Courts of
France and Austria have been very brisk for some
time past, from whence it is concluded, that affairs
of the last importance are at present under discussion.
The Ambassadors of France and Russia, at Vienna,
have f-requent conferences with one another. In the
south -rn parts of Russia, great preparations are
ttlaki•ig ; they are fitting out there a great number
of sl ipc of the line and frigates, and the fleet of Se-
bastopol, in the Crimea, will sail as soon as the season
?emits. It is supposed, that in consequence of the
mtcrpositian of a great Power, they will pass the
rdanelle;, in order to attack the English fleet there;
and crobably to unite with the French and Spanish
fie:fa, for the purpose of executing an important en-
terprize."

SWEDEN.

His Royal Majesty's gracious Proclamatiol, on
the rupture cf the intercourse between Sweden and
Prussia. Given at Stockholm Castle, April 5, 1808.

Stockholm Castle, 3, 1308.
We, Gustavus Adolphus, by the Grace of God,
Kim; of Sweden, of the Goths and Vandals, &c.
unto ail our true and loyal Subjects, greeting :
We herewith graciously make known to you, that
his Majesty, the King of Prussia, has declared to u,
that all kind of intercourse between his dominions
and Sweden is suspended, and that hi consequence
thereof ail trada and navigation to Swedish ports is
prehibited under severe penalties ; and that further,
ali Prussian harbours are shut up against all Swedish
ships. This proceeding hasnot by anymeansbeen occa-
sioned on our part ; the said Government reduced by
French tyranny, affords a fresh proof of the oppres-
sion to which all States must submit that entertain any
connection with the French Government. An unfortu-
nate lassitude, which prevented Prussia front resist-
ing in due time, has brought her to the distressed
situation in which she is now placed—groaning under
the domination of France, which still occupies a con-
siderable part of the remains of that monarchy with
a numerous army, notwithstanding the conclusion of
peace.
We commend you all and severally to the merciful
pro.,ectior. of Almighty God. (Signed)

GUSTAV CS ADOLPHUS.

PRIVATE LETTER.

" STOCKIMI,M, APRIL 18.—It is, no doubt, to he re-
gretted, that our relations and allies, the Russians,
should have taken advantage of a season so favour-
able to their operations, in order treacherously, and
like banditti, to attack our ultramarine possession,
Finland. This event, as naturally happens on such
occurrences, occasioned a very great consternation
here—report was, as customary, very busy to circa.
late the triumphant progress of the enemy ; and we
were often, on examining the accounts which arrived,
with the map in our hands, constrained to believe that
our forces, under the command of Cronstedt and
Xlingspor, were not only cut off from all communica-
tion with each other, but that they had also been
obliged to lay down their arms. Thus were affairs
situated even up to the end of the month of March,
when the Russians had advanced as far as Pullkila,
seven miles from Uleaborg, when, on a sudden, affairs
took, very different turn.
4g The Russian army had sustained very great loss,
even from the season ; had no provisions, nor horses,
and entertained great fears of a thaw, when they would
have been surrounded by marshes and morasses in
every direction, without being able either to advance
or to retreat. Thus circunutanced, the Russian. Central
resolved, and very wisely too, to retreat in time ; and on
the last of Plank the enemy evacuated the northern part
of Finland. The respective corps of Klingpor and
Cronstedt have forme..? a junction, and amount to
more than 20,000 men. They occupy the central part
of East Bothnia, which is quite clear from the enemy.
Sweaborg, under the command of another Cronstedt,
is impregnable ; and as soon as the waters are
ppened, a considerable reinforcement will proceed
from hence to Finland.
14 We have now in this harbour forty gun boats,
equipped and manned. The Committee of Convoys
are busy in fitting bnt five incn of wan .The Com-
mittee of the 14277 are fitting out tea or fifteen more;
.sitei wi*u we add to these, tea or fifteen Pigates, fire
ships, &t. &c. and ten gun briskly/Lich ale ROW &Ong
Out, you will surely not reproach StoCk6lo wilt nee
having done its best endeavours 'for our cause."

The DIANA, of 36 gulls, has arrived at Plymouth,
after a fruitless search in quest of the Rochefort squa-
dron in the American seas. This ship was one of
those along with Admiral DucKwonrit, and was left
behind for the purpose we have stated, when the
other ship; left the Ame*tan coast.
It is thus rendered certain that the Rochefort squa-
dron hat not been in the Western Hemisphere.—Still,
however, opinions are divided respecting this squa.
dron. Some will have it that there is a mistake in
the accounts which state these ships to be in the Me-
diterranean, and insist that they have gone to the
East Indies. Not only so, they state the destination
and object, and maintain they have gone for the
Persian Gulph, there to receive a strong Russian
farce, which is now proceeding to that quarter, and
to transport the same to the British possessions in
India; We cannot doubt that NAPOLDON has been

-- ~~

forming various projects to annoy is in the East ;
but we cannot think that any one of them is in such a
train as to give great probability to the opinion stated
above. But should it be proved, after all, that the
squadron is not in the Mediterranean, this circum.
stance would give it a great degree of probability.

ABERDEEN, APRIL 16.

Tuesday last the Ringdove sloop of war, appointed
to take the trade from this place to America, arrived
in the Bay, having under convoy a fleet from Leith
Roads, with the same destination. The following
vessels went out of this harbour and joined her in the
afternoon : Juno, MAIN ; Atlas, GIBSON ; Seven
Sisters, BROWNIE; Lion, DUNCAN ; Stranger, Goa.
LON ; Fame, LEISK ; and Evergreen, BOOTH.; mak-
ing altogether a fleet of about 30 sail. Owing to the
late heavy gales from W. to N. W. the above fleet
was put back, and appeared off here last llght. The
Widgeon schooner sailed with them, to accompany
the convoy to the Orkneys, where several vessels
from this place to America had previously arrived.—
The Ajar, HETHERFIELD ; Thetis, BALFOUR ; and
Ganges, MAIN, are arrived at Gibraltar from Ports-
mouth.
FROM THE MADRAS GAZETTE, SEPT. is.
We are happy to announce the capture of the Je-
seur, Frcnch,brig corvette, of 14 guns, commanded
by Lieutenant Basin, off the Nicobars, on the 12th
July, by his Majesty's ship Bombay, Captain Lye.
The privateer is described as a fine new brig; built
about fifteen months, and was fitted out for a oldie
in the Bay ; and from her size and sailing, would
doubtless have greatly annoyed the mercantile inte-
rest of India. Captain Lye dispatched his prize for
Penang, at which port she has arrived.

FROM•THE BENGAL HURKAREE OF THE 17TH OF
NOVEMBER. ,
• 66 The Elizabeth, Captain Askwith, arrived from
Macao; whence he sailed the 20 September, brings
an account that the —, an American schooner,
had arrived at that port from the coast of Chili..—
The schooner having on board some English sea-
ineili;they were taken out and carried on board his
Mijesty's sloop of war that chanced at that time to
be at Macao.
, `l' se seamen gave information that the schoo.
*tiel• had, under English colours, while on the coast
of Chili, plundered several Spanish vessels of bullion
and other property to a great amount. The informa-
tion being strengthened, t y some particularsircum-
stances, it was determined to seize the American,
and to detain her for legal investigation. The Com-
mander of the schooner having obtained information
of this design, prepared to resist the attempt—the
boats of the sloop were manned and armed, and after
a spirited resistance on the part of the American, in
which her Commander and several of her men were
killed, the boarders took possession of the schooner.—
Upwards of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
and other property to a large amount, were found on
board. Sufficient evidence appearing to warrant her
seizure and detention, the schooner was manned by a
party frorn'the sloop of war,. and sent to Bombay for
adjudication."
The Piedmontese arid Cannonier French frigates,
And the Revenant privateer, were in the Bay of Ben-
gal at the date of the last accounts, and had made
upwards of twenty. prizes. The Semillante frigate was
on the Malabar coast. The Althea, Elizabeth, tend

DIED.

A few days since, at Hammersmith, in his 85th year,, John
Rice, Esq. a character miserable and penurious. Mr. Rice was
born in Westminster, and having received a musical education,
he resolved to try his fortune in America. He sailed fur New-
York, where he settled, and go: an appointment as an organist.
In this situation, denying himself the common neceasaTies of life,
he accumulated a considerable stns of money, and returned to
England. His habit was that of the must indigent beggar, and su
deplorably miserable was his garb and appearance, that he was
turned out of two lodgings he took. At length he obtained a room
at a glazier's shop, near Marsham-street, where he was taken ill.
He requested he might be decently clothed, and conveyed to Mr.
Boyce, at Hammersmith, whose father, he said, was his most
intimate acquaintance. He was accordingly taken to the house of
Mr. Royce, where he survived only a few days. After his death
his will Was opened, by which it appeared, that he had bequeathed
9.0,000 L to Mr. Boyce, and 10,0001. to the Bishop of New-York.
He is said to have died worth 40,0001.
