haven on Monday 'aft, at Yarmouth, brought
over a meffenger with difpatches from Lord

The nature of the difpatches brought by the
Meffenger from Berlin, have not yet tranfpired ;
but it is generally believed, that they relate to the
Northern confederacy lately formed againft this

MAJESTY has acceded to it. It is added alto, that
the Court of Denmark has publicly juftified its pro-
ceedings is a reply to a note tranfmitted to it by
Mr. DRUMMOND.
