ESTION,

fhould, in all cafes, be appropriated towards indem-
nifying French havers, by Britilh Ipoliations ?
Anfwered, in the affirmative.

Dutch Papers have arrived to the r 3th, and have
brought the intelligence of Denmark having conclud-
ed a Treaty of Alliance offenfive and defenSve with
France, in confequence of which the French troops
are to occupy HoHiein and Schlefwich, which are not
in the flightert danger of any attack from us.

The Gazette of Saturday contains His Majeßy's
Proclamation for recalling and prohibiting fumes
from (crying foreign Princes or States. This impor-
tant document is given in our lall page. It Wills on
the tight of fearching foreign merchant vejile for Brt
tub feamen ; but, in cafes of Apt of war, our Captains
are only authorifcd to enquire of the foreign Com-
mander the releafe of our (earnest, and in the event
of his retail) to m;k: reprefeotation of the affair to

the Admiral of the nation, who is to communicate
to Miniffeks. By the latter.part, tie right of fearch
ing (hips of war, as lately enforced in the cafe of the
American frigate Chefapeak, is unequivocally re.
nounced ; and hence the principal nbaacle to an ad.
jufiment of the exilling differences with Ametica is
serpored. We {hall take an early opyortunity of
"Offering Tome obferrations on this fubjea.

Captain Jonasow, of Shields, arrived in the River
on Friday evening from Crontladt. He Rates, that
be failed from that port on the 29th ultimo, which
is three days later than the failing of Capt. COLLETT,
whole intelligence we mentioned on Friday. Captain
Jr:mama Rates that he toc.k his departure when not
more than half loaded, in confequent:e of an intima-
tion from Mr. BOOZER, the confidential agent of the
Britilh faitory at Peter (burgh, that a general em-
bargo upon Britilh veffels was immediately to be
apprehended. Mr. Boort sa, who is Paid to ad gene-
rally for all the Britilh merchants who trade with
Ruffia, made a fimilar communication to that re-
ceived by Captain JOHNSON to the other veffels at
Cronßadt, which amounted to 33. all of which were
ufing• their utmoß endeavours to get away. An im-
snenkhoom was conftruEted for the port of Croolladt.
We have teen a Gentleman, who left Copenhagen
on the 23d ult. under convoy of the Asraea frigate,
Captain Dictum, with 66 fail in company, of which
fourteen were tranfports and five bomb-tenders, all
laden with naval gores, and forty-five detained
Danes. The BON Errs failed two days before with
about 23 fail more of detained Danes. The trait-
(ports have brought to Der ford the materials of two
of the Dann line of battle flips, which were taken
to pieces. He left the Leyden and Texel, and 36
fail of tninfports laden with naval (lore., and 30 fail
getting ready to be laden. The whole of the trauf
ports lying these are about 350 fail ; the battering
train had been all embarked before he left the plate,
end the intention then was to embark the troops on
the to itia. Ten thoufand of the troops were to
embark In the Danifh 'hips (which were all to be
filled with (pars and flares) to help to work them to
England. Nothing but public property, was touched;
a geantity of iron which was lying in the Dock
Yard, being claimed as private property was given
up. There was no idea of onr keeping poll'eflion of
Zealand when he left it ; the Admiral and Officers
were tiling the greateß exe:tions to leave it at the
Mpitation of the fix weeks. Sir SAMUEL HOOD
commanded at the Dock Yard, to embark the gores,
ire. There was no interruption to our people going
into Copenhagen, which they had done for fome time
to purchafe provifions. Mr. COLLIER (brother of
Sir Grottos Cowie) is the Agent for the whole of
the Dana (hips. Three Ruffian fail of the line, three
frigates and a ftnre (hip, newly fitted, from Archan
gel, anchored at Elfintur on tilt 22d, going up the
Baltic.

The lateft letters from Lifbon are Af the date of the
7th inltant. Some ( f them Rate that a popular in•
forredion had taken place irr that city on the preced
ing day, which had not terminated when the letter
was difpatched. The objedt of this intim-ration was
to prevent the failing!): the (hips, which Were pre-
paring to fell down the Tagus, and were fuppufed to
indicate the emigration of the Royal Family. No
great effort appears to have been made by the police
to put down this infurredion, probably from the ap-
prehenfion of augmenting its fury.
It is feared in the letter ste have alluded to, that
inch of our coustryrnen as are leaving Portugal, and
hart any property to difpofe of, are obl;ged to accept
eae half the purchafe muney in Gevernmtnt pper•
We have not ken any ordonance importing fuch an
obligation ; but it is pofitively alledged to exift—if
fo, the grievance moll be more leverely felt by the
Engliffinicn, not only on account of the decree, in-
ferted in our tali, with regard to the fafpenfion a the
payment of inland bills, but becaufe Government pa-I
per has fallen from 16 to ao per cent. difcount : of
south. the property we allude to is difp'fed of at an
immenfe facrifice.

The Portugnefe people are in the laR letters de-
kribed as unfriendly, or rather hoflile, to the Englifb.
It is faid, that Admiral Po RVI S, with the fquadron
ander his command, is ordered to the Tagus, from
their Ration off Cadiz. We fhould rejoice to be able
to Rate this from authority, becaufe the Britifh might
then be able at 'earl to lave their property.
Such was the eagernefs of the Briti(h families to

return to England, and loch the difpolition of {hip-
erasers to avail themfelves of that eagernefs, that no
es than toool. was aftually paid by one family for
is palage to this country.
