Extra& of a letter from a Gentleman at Eltinere,
to his friend in Dundee, dated' Nov. 5.—" I wrote
you &ratty lince, and now write you again, which
will be the laft until peace. At twelve o'clock this
day, I am to take a fnlemn oath before the Magif-
trates, to have no communication whatever with
Great Britain, or any of its fubjeets. All the other
Englifh did fo yeßerday, but I was then at Copen-
hagen, with Captains DOWIIII3, Pareasor, and
MITCHELL, and their crews, where they were re-
moved on Saturday laR. They bear their misfortunes
with fortitude ; and are well ufed. Their relations will
not likely hear from them for fome time. The Jupiter

returned from Memel, not being permitted to enter
that pert. The crews of the various (hips captured
get a fair allowance, and are very comfortable.--
Affairs are now arrived at the highell pitch, and mall
ere long end one way or other."
