, ENGLISH IN Russia.—The following is an ex-
. tract of a letter from Captain Tnoaa row, of the
Nymph, one of the Dundee rails detained at Riga:
--" I wrote you on the 12th of November laft,
adviling of this unfortunate bufinefs taking place ;
alfo the 23d, the day we began our march hither.
We did not arrive until the 28th, being a tedioos
journey of five days, in accomplifhing to+ wens ;
the particulars of our ourney I shall you at
meeting. I can only fay, that no men in our &n-
-ation ever experienced more civility than we did,
from the officer and foldiers who guarded us; the
officer (a Ruffian) behaved in the bellmanner, and
when he delivered us up here he asked us all if we
had any complaint agama any of his men, as he
was ready to pusifis them inPantly. I Mall give
you a defcription of our fitnation at Wolmar,wch
is beyond what any of ns expected. The town
contains about 2m) haute:, governed by the Ma-
gifirates, and we have been fo fortunate (if I may
ufe the expreffion) to fall in with the mail botpr
table people that I ever met with in a foreign coun-
try, for every one teems to do all.in his power to
render our fituation comfortable.—Ceptains Dom-

PrivifiOns arc pretty reasonable, which is very for-
tunate, tonfitiering the scanty pittance we are al-
lowed by the Ruffian Government—tat copecks,
or about 44. per day. The merchants in Riga
have very generoufly made an addition of as much
per day for cote Months or until they hear what
the Britilh Government will do. If they withdraw,
and no provision bb made for us at home, our Infl-
ation will be wretched indeed ; if we are fo forte-
' nate as to be kept any time in this country, we
hope that all concerned will ad in concert to peti-
tion for the fame allowance as prifoners of war in
France. Mr. Marceau. told me, when I Iril•
Riga, he would fupply me with what money I
wanted, and make proper prorifion if I was re-
moved farther into the country. I generally bear
from him once a week. We were but a ffiort time
