STATE PAPERS.
MOTS TR•NSMITTED ■Y MR. DRUMMOND TO THE

DANISK MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS, DATED

ore. 27, ritoo.
The Court of London, informed that Den-
Mark is carrying on with aaivity negotiations very
boftile to the interefts of the Briti(h Empire, thinks
that it cannot better fulfil the duties which fuels
a circumftance preferibes, than by addrettng it-
felf direCtly to the Mini(ler of his Danifh Majefty,
to demand from him a frank and fatisfaCtory ex-
planation.
" In all the Courts of Europe they (peak openly
of a Confederacy between Denmark and tome
other Powers, to oppofe by force the exercife of
thofe principles of maritime law on which the
naval power of the Britith Empire in a great mea-
lure rens, and which in all wars have been fol.
loured by the Maritime States, and acknowledged
by their Tribunals.
a His Britannic Majelly, relying with confi-
dence upon the loyalty of his Danifh Majefty, and
'upon the faith of the engagements recently con.
traCied between the two Courts, has not demanded
from him any explanation on this head. It was
his with to wait for the moment when the Court
of Denmark thould think it its duty to contradia
thole reports, fo injurious to its good faith, and In
little compatible with the maintenance of the good
underftanging which had been re•eftablithed be-
tween the two countries.

At prefcnt the conduel and public declaration
of one of the Powers, which it is pretended have
tittered into this Confederacy, do' not permit his
Majetly to pieferve any longer towards she mit
the fame filcocc which he has hitherto obferved.

",The underfiAned thelefore finds hirnfelf bound
to demand (men itis Etcellency Count de Bean-

sroarr, a plain, open, and fatisfadory are on
the nature, objet, and extent of the obligations
which his Dann Majefty may have contrthed,
or the negotiations which he is carrying on with
refpet to a matter which fo nearly concerns the
dignity of his Britannic Majefty, and the interefts
of his people.
a His Britannic Majefty, always ready to return
all the marks of friendfhip which be may receive
on the part of his Dandh Majefty, hopes to find,
in the anfwer of the Court of Copenhagen to this
requelt, only a new occafion of manifelting thefe
difpofitions.
" In tranfmitting this Note to M. the Secretary
of State, the underfigted avails himfelf, with plea-
lure, of this opportunity, to affure him of the
high confideration with which he has the honour
to be his very humble and very obedient fervent,

NOTE IN ANSWER.

Copenhagen. Dee. 31, tEco.

Thc underfigned Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, having given an account to the King his
Matter, of the contents of the Note which Mr.
DRUMMOND has done him the honour to tranfmit
to him on the 27th infant, is authorifed to return
the anfwer which follows :
.ts The Court of London muft have received,
very incorreet information, .to have been able for
a moment to prefinne that Denmark had conceived
projeas hoftile againft it, or incompatible with the
maintenance of the good underfanding which
fubfifts between the two Crowns; and the King is
very much obliged to his Britannic Majefty, for
having funnifhed him with the opportunity of con-
tradieting, in the mot pofitive manner, reports as
ill founded, as contrary to his mon decided fenti-
ments.

" The negotiation which is carrying on at St.
Peteriburgh between Ruffia, Praia, Sweden, and
Denmark, has no other objeit than the renewal of
the engagenents, which, in the years £730 and
781, were contraded by the fame powers for the
fafety of their Navigation, and of which a commu-
nication was at that time made to all the Courts of
Europe.

• His Majefty, the Emperor of Raffia, having
propofed to the powers of the North to re.eftabliffi
there engagements in their original form, Den-
mark has fo much the lets hefitated to confent to
it. as, far from having abandoned the principles
profeffed in 1780, the has thought it her duty to
maintain them, and claim them upon all occalions,
and not allow herfelf to, admit in refpea of them
any other modifications than thole which tett&
from her treaties with the Belligerent Powers.
• Very far from wiling to interrupt thofe
Powers in the exercife of rights which the war
gives them, Denmark introduces into the negotia.
tion with her allies, none but views abfolutely de-
fenfive, pacific, and incapable of giving offence or
provocation to any one. The engagements the
will make will be founded upon the ftrifteff fulfil-
ment of the duties of neutrality, and of the obliga-
tions which her treaties impore upon her; and if
the willies to flicker her innocent navigation from
the manila abufes and violence, which the mari•
time war produces but too eafily, (he thinks file
pays rerpeet to the belligerent Powers by ruppofing,
that, far from wi(hing to authorife or tolerate thole
aborts, they would, on their fide, adopt meafures
heft calculated to prevent or reprefs them.
46 Denmark has not made a my(hry to any one
of the object of her negotiation, upon the nature
of which Tome furpicien has! been infufed into the
Court of London ; but the has not thought that
the departed from the ufual firms, in 'slitting to
wait the definitive I-critic of it, in order to communi-
cate an official account of it to the Powers at war,
The underfigned, not knowing that any of the
Powers engaged in this negotiation has made a
declaration, or adopted meafures relative to its
objet, at which Great Britain might take offence
or umbrage, cannot without ulterior explanation
reply to this paint of Mr. Drummond's note.
“ Much lefs does he conceive in what refpcft
the engagement taken by the previous convention
of the aoth of Auguft haft, can be banfidered as
contrary to thofe which Denmark is about to enter
into with the neutral and united Powers of the
North ; and in all cafes in which he (hall find him-
felf called upon to combat or remove the doubts
that (hall have been conceived with refpeta to the
good faith of the King, he (hall confider hit talc
to be very eafy. as long as this good faith (hall be
introduced into the reproaches or the fufpicions ad
vanced againft his Majefty. He flatters himfell
that the Englifh Government, after having re-
ceived the required explanations, will have th
franknefs to allow that the provifional and MP
mentor), abandonment, not of a principle, the
queftion with refped to which retrained undecided,
but of a mature, whole right has never been, not
ever can be contefted, cannot be found at all ii
oppofition to the general and permanent principle.,
relative to which the Powers of the North a.
opts the point of eftablithing a cooperation, which

to far from being ealcutite.l to eompronsife their
neutrality, is deflined oniftto flrengthen it.
" The underfigned would fain believe that thefe
explanations will appear fatisfadory to the Court
of London ; mid that the latter will do juilice to
the intentions and Entiments of the Kir.g, and
particularly to his Majcity's invariable d..!ire to
maintain and cement, by all the me.ins iu his
power, the friendatip and good utlderilanding
which fubfill between Denmark and Great Britain.
—He has the honour to offer to Mr. Dauxmotsci
the affurancc of his moff dillinguifhed confider-
ation. (Signed) . " ataxsroarr."

efterday being the Birthday of the King of
Denuatic, the Danifh veffels in the river hoifted
their colours in honour of the occafion. It was this
circumflance which gave birth to the report that the
embargo on Danifh veffels had been taken off; and
which report for a fhort time had an influence
upon the funds.
An order was received at the Cullotn-houre
yefterday, permitting fuch property as could be

And about ten other Regiments of Infunry, forming an ef-
feelive body of tsonoo Men.

In confequence of information upon oath being
tranfmitted to Lord BALCARRAS, Rating, that a
Spandh armament was ready to fail from La Vera

dated September to, 11300.
" The General congratulates the forces under ►ie command
with the chance of a fpeedy vine from the Spaniards, and if.

pretence whatfoever, to give up their poll, as on any knout
attack, the General will in perfon fupport them with his utmolt
force. Thefe orders will be read, and fully explained to the
forces, at three or four different times ; and any thing that may

Accounts received from Madras, Rate, that the
Expedition which has been for fome time prepar-

the produce of the country through their medium.
The Topaffes have joined the Malayans, and a
large force has been railed in Java by the Kings
of Bantam and Mataram, the objeft of which
was not known, though it has excited univerfal
alarm at Batavia. _

There appears to be fomewhat extraordinary and
