s.sw's fquadron, Rationed off Brett, dated the
roth inllant, Rate that the French fquadron,
which has twice attempted to get clear out, is
now lying at tingle anchor in Carmorant Bay, far
more favourable for failing than the Road of
Brea ; and confining of nine fail of the line, two

A report was current this forenoon in the city,
and had confiderdble influence on the Funds, as
maybe Peen by the price of flocks this day, that
the embargo has been taken off the Danifli (hips
in our ports.

Though various private letters have been re-
ceived in town from the Continent, which (peak
of the fingular article in the Peterfburgh Court
Gazette of the 3oth alt. no fatisfaiffory account
, has as yet been given in regard to the motives
which produced its infertion in that official Journal:
One private letter from Peterfburgh accounts for
it in the following manner :
On or about Chriftmas-clay Petit gave a grand
entertainment, at which he was in high fpirits,
and, among other tallies of mirth, he laid the
moR fhort and humane way of deciding the prefent
difputes of the different nations in Europe would be,
for the Sovereigns to meet, with their Minifters as
their 'Squires, and in the true (tile of Knight Er-
rantry, fight out their quarrels by fingle combat.
The Danifh Minifter, who heard this jns d'efprit,
but did not comprehend the fpirit in which it was
delivered, wrote home to his Court among the other
intelligence he could colleft, that Pent had chal-
lenged all the Sovereigns, &c.; and he made the
remark which followed. This letter was inter-
cepted ; Nut was very indignant, ordered the
Danifh Minifter to return to his own Court, and
inferted the eztraa of the letter in the St. Peterf-
burgh Gazette, as a jufiification of this proceed-
ing. How it happened that the article was pub.
lifhed at Hambugh without this explanation, is a
queflion which we cannot yet refolve ; but the
foregoing ftatement will be found accurate. The
St. Peterfburgh Gazette of the ad takes no notice
of any particular event; Ruffle, is as tranquil,
harmony prevails, and the Monarch Items to be
as firmly feated on his throne, as when he was our
Ally.

A letter dated Berlin, January zB, fags : " Ac•
cording to information received here, the Danifh
Minifter at St. Peterfburgh, M. de ROSINCRAMTZ,
had quitted that capital precipitately, upon the
zft of January. It is falai* that this Gentleman
had written as' a.pleafantry the pretended article
in the Peterfburgh Gazette of the 3oth of Decem.
ber, to Come perfon at Copenhagen, but that the
letter had fallen into other hands, upon the difco-
very of which M. de Ross CAA): rz thought proper
to decamp on the infant."
Letters from Sweden and Denmark Rate, that
great preparations are making in all the ports of
thee two countries, and it appears that the Court
of Spain peremptorily infins that Sweden (hall re-
quire fatisfaftion from this country for the alledged
infult offered to its flag by the capture of the Spa-
nifh frigates at Barcelona.

The reports which have appeared in all the pa. i

Lords Lieutenant of the Counties, that the exi-
gency of public affairs would require an extenfive
Levy of an available force, that letters of fervice
were to be given to raife corps and companies,
etc.; that a new kind of Supplementary Militia
was to be created by a requifition, comprehending
every man between lateen and fixty years of age;
and that the Invalid Corps were to be tripled—

We underhand, that the reafon affigned for th-
abandonment of the late enterprife at Ferrol, Al
the determination of a Council of War, which was
of opinion, that it would not be praaicable to take
Fort St. Philip by affault, without rifking the lofi
of three thoufand men, and that to attack it in a
regular way would require eight days before the
talk parallel could be completed ; that this delay
would be dangerous on many accounts, as, hefides
the reinforcements which might be fent to 'Verret,
there would be great rink from a change of wind,
which might drive our fleet off the coaff, and leave
our army in the fame fituation as it was at Ghat
