Lail night the Hamburgh Mail, due on Sunday
laft, reached town; but the intelligence it brings
has been in a great meafure anticipated by the laft
French journals, and the German papers brought
over by the packet that arrived without mails at
Yarmouth on Monday laft. Letters from Copen-
hagen confirm the accounts already given of Den-
mark having acceded to the Northern Coalition.
The anfWer returned by Count BERNSTOR Yr to
Mr. Da M RIOND'S note is fail to be " That the con-
vention which the Km°, his mailer, had entered
into with the Courts of Stockholm and St. Paul-
burgh, had for coSjeft to guarantee the integrity ef
his property and polfeWons, and to defenl himfelf
againil any power whatever which might attempt
to injure them."
Nothing certain is yet known refpeOing the con-
dal which his Pausal...a MAJESTY means to pur-
fue. A variety of reports were yefterday in circu-
lation after the arrival of the mail, and Tome fears,
it is laid, are entertained on the Continent repell-
ing the fate of Hamburgh. Great preparations are
making both in Denmark and Sweden, and every
thing announcesthat they are in erpe&ationof being
vifited by a Britillt naval force early in the fpring.

A Meeting of the Underwriters was yefterday
held at LLOYD'. Coffee-houfe, to confider of tome
plan for liquidating the claims of the merchants
whore veffels have been feized in the Ruffian ports.
The caufe of the meeting was the very prefling
demands which fome merchants have made, infill-
ing on the lore' being paid within the nfual time,
a month, notwithitancling the Underwriters urge.
that the Pale of the veffers and cargoes in &Oa
may ultimate*, though circuitouffy, leffen the •
claims on them, and that the ulna! courfe Ihould
not be followed, till the real amount of the loses
is accurately afcertained. No dircufGon took plate,
except on the formation of a Committee, and that
was of no importance. A Committee of nineteen
was appointed to receive all claims againft the
Underwriters, to inveftigate the documents on
which they arc founded, and dire et the mode of
payment without the intervention of the law,
which form of the merchants have threatened ; a
menace which induced the Underwriters to call
the meeting. Mr. B►wtca was in the chair.
The Mutical journal of Dr. Bossy, which is
!Emily to appear, mail, from his acknowledged
fcience and relined tale, prove a rich treat to the
manors and a:swears of the art. It will at once
combine all the novelty of foreign, and the origi-
n.dily of Prititli compotition.
