EXTRACT OF A LIMO MU/ CUMIN" rItTED liAjtCH 26.
" The n 4, tality iA Custrin, especially among the
garrison, is extremely peat. The; e are above 600
sick in the Lazaretto. Many of the German soldiers
endeavour to escape from their prison, or rather from
their charnel•house, at the p'ril of their lives, and
swim across the deep fosses. The hope that the gar-
rison will soon be obliged to surrender is continually
increased by the proximity of the Russian blockading
corps, and the approach of the Prussian besieging
corps. The Russians observe most excellent discipline.
a The cattle driven into Custrin by the garrison
from the neighbouring villages on the 19th of Fe-
bruary, may be estimated at about 8000 head ; and
the damage to the inhabitants at 30,000 dollars.
a Preparations are made in Custrin for a bom-
bardment, which is speedily expected. The pavement
has been taken up, and the streets filled with dung.
The citizens have been compelled to contribute their
labour toward the defence of the place without re-
spect of persons."

ARRIVAL OF THE DANISH AMBASSADOR.
Count Beaxaroare and suite arrived in Town
last night, direct from Cuxhaven, to which place a
cutter had been dispatched from Heligoland to bring
them over. Count &moult:a:re is understood to be
empowered to conclude a treaty of alliance with this
country. We are, of course, unacquainted with the
terms upon which Denmark is willing to accede to
the Northern coalition against France ; but if we are
to place any reliance in a private letter from Copen-
hagen, which will be found among our extracts from
the communications brought by the Heligoland Mail,
England is to subsidize 25,000 Danish troops—to
this we can see no valid objection ; but by the suc-
ceeding paragraph, which states that England is to
be requested to pay the value of the fleet seized at
Copenhagen, a demand is made which no Minister in
his senses can ever Eaten to.
If the attack upon Denmark in 1807 was just and
necessary, and we believe that there are now very few
politicians who deny it, then is Denmark, in the face
of the Laws of Nations, making a demand of the
stale': quo ante helium, without having gained a single
advantage for herself in the struggle, and without
manifesting the least disposition to aid the cause,
which she embraces as much from terror as from
affection. If the state of her finances is such that we
are obliged to issue the pay of her troops, what does
this amount to, but to a compensation in money for
the seizure, of her fleet
We most solemnly, however, protest against the
direct recognition of such a principle; and we ut-
terly deny that Denmark has a right to assume any
attitude but that of supplication. Her uniform su-
pineness—nly, her mischievous line of policy since
the commencement of the wars consequent upon the
French revolution, are depicted by the masterly pen
of Madame de STA EL, in her appeal to the nations of
Emope, which is understood to be the Manifesto of
Bk:RNADOTTE against France, and from which, in an-
other par: of our Paper, we have corsidered it to be
our duty to m Ike copious extracts. Speaking of the
conduct of Denmark, this elegant writer thus ex-
presses herself—[We copy from the spirited and ele.
gant translation published by Richardson, Cornhill]:
" Much praise has been bestowed upon the neutrality which
this government has prof. ssed since the commencement of the
wars of the revolution. TMa conduct was, nevertheless, tut a
pitiful mercantile speculation. Sunk In profound apathy during
the revolutions of Europe, Denmark had nothing in view but
the momentary a3vantages of her commerce, without ever dream-
ing that the fall of so many states would soon shake the whole
basis of her political existence. The fact is, that Denmark, after
having done a great deal of mi.chiet to the coalesced powers,
has, in the end, drawn upon herself irreparable evils. The 80.
dal Government, after having long tolerated a neutrality, (en_
tirely to its disadvantage), finally saw itself obliged to take pre-
cautions for its safety in a contest which it maintained single-
Landed against so many enemies. Eut it was coltent oirh dis-
arming Denmark, by seizing her seer; and it evacuated Zealand,
already conquered, which it might easily have kept by its sea
' and land forces, and continued to make war against the Danes,
whh that moderation which it had adopted at a principle, when
hostilities were committed, by less powerful states, at the insti-
gation of France.
" The King of Denmark, during the war of the empire, from
1791 to 1801, never furnished the contingent that he was bound
to do as a Member of the Germanic Body. On the contrary,
the Danes took the odious part of contributing to rivet the chains
of Germany, by sending troops to overwhelm the unfortunate
" Without entering into the Rhenish Confederation, the King
of Denmark behaved like the Princes who engaged in that league,
by annulling his own authority as Duke of Holstein, by destroy-
ing the privileges of the inhabitants of that province, and by
subjugating them to the absolute laws of his Monarchy. Neither
the abdication of its Chief (the only consequence of which should
only have been a new election),.nor the violent acts of sonic dis-
loyal Princes, could extinguish the Germanic Empire: it did
exist—it still exists, if not in fact, at least in right; and the time
is approaching when the nation may realize Its declamations
against so many scandalous usurpations.
" By a Undoes., similar to that of another Cabinet, the Da-
nish Minister always considered the German cause as foreign
and unimportant with respect to the security of the state :—lt
was not long till he was undeceived. Since the peace of Tilsit,
Napoleon reigned in the North of Germany.; nevertheless, people
stfillattered themselves that he reserved that part of Hanover
which Is next to Denmark, as an instrument of negotiation with
England, and which he would, perhaps, have restored at Peace,
This hope vanished ; the formal incorporation of Hanover car.
ried the French empire to the frontiers of Denmark ; and, in or.
der that his design might not be misconceived, Napoleon exten-
ded his frontiers, by a narrow neck of land to theßaltic Sea. Thus
the provinces of the Danish monarchy, which touched the Conti-
nent, the Duchies of Holstein,. Sleswic, and Jutland, were in a
manner inclosed by France, having no longer any inland Commu-
nication but by her permission. On the other hand, the English,
blockading the shores of Denmark, after threatening a descent,
and cruizing inshose branches of the sea which separate the dif-
ferent provinces, interrupted the communications even between
the Government and its subjects. The resultvf friendship with
France was, for Denmark, the loss of her navy and her colonies ;
the impossibility of all navigation naturally followed, or, at least,
became extremely difficult, to a State almost entirely consisting
of Islands or of peninsulas."
Two Heligoland Mails arrived last night, with
Harnburgh and Altona Papers to the 10th instant.
The most prominent features of their contents are
briefly as follow : Austria, according to report, has
determined to remain strictly neutral—even this is

ford was allowed by her to have them published, as articles of
ordinary intelligence.
" I hat Lady Perceval was totally ignorant of tke meet, phi-

' fishing them, she received a letter from the Editor, inciesing his
paper, which she immediately answered, sigsiring to see him for
the purpose of disavowing all acquaintance with the transaction,
and of convincing him (from the evidence of the forged &ce-

BOROUGH MEETING.

A A numerous Meeting assembled yesterday at the
Town Hall, pursuant to a requisition. A letter frcul
Sir Wa Limes, was read, excusing his absence on acs
t(AtufOlindisposition.
• Mw..Soiostost DAVIS was then called to the Chair.
After the requisition, and the answer to it, were read,
Mr. JUKES stated, that not finding himself secon.
dcd by his accustomed coadjutors, in the commence-
ment of this business, he and some others had formed
thmselves into a Committee ; and that, what he
sixtuld utter, would be as the organ of that Commit
tee. . It had been their intention originally, to in.
:inlet their constituents, but on some representation,
that had been made, this intention had been with-
drawn. He would net occupy their time, but would
proceed immediately to the Resolutions. He then
moved— •

" 1. That the Electors of Southwark were gratified at the
marriage of the Prince of Wales with her *opal Highness, apd
were rejoicitil that the first character In the Realm *ought happi-
tutu in alliance .o

04 2. That on the auspicious birth of her Royal Highness the
Princess Charlotte of Wales, whom GOD long preserve, the
tame country hailed that really happy event as one, of all others,
the most natural to ensure their Royal Highnesses an uninter.
r9ted.course of conjugal felicity, and the security of the Crown
on an Engl.sh-born subject.
" 3. That from some dark, secret, and unremitting influence
of the worst of the human species, on one of the most elevated cha-
after's, shirt days of happiness have been dOoded by long years
of miseries ; and we now, unhappily, find, that her Royal High-
slat., the; consort of our Prince Regent, after cornpro-
nisei her conjugal rites, has been most basely traduced ;
petted the evjaytnent of that illustrious share in the State al.
bitted ro her by the C....aldished etiquette of the Court ; and is
now under charges of the most foul and disgusting nature, treated
uneou.tiiutionallyas guilty, without even the forms of trial known
to our laws, having been resorted to."

Mr. YorNo objected to the word "now ;" he said,
the innocence of the Princess had been completely
established ; no man was hardy enough to say, that
she was guilty : the Commissioners, acting as a
Grand Jury, had pronounced her innocent ;—Lord
Moira, who had been ,a sort of advocate to the Prince,
had declared the same.
Mr. Alderman Wool) said, the present Meeting
eixtifiated from the hearts of the people, and as he
viks an elector, he had a right to appear en such a
subject. He felt for the cause of an injured woman,
arid he was afraid that charges ssere at present. in
contemplation against her. He did not pledge him;
self@ the accuracy of the information ; but he had
)earned,- thit within these ten days a new-made

the utter hopelessness ofi

furtherbt
. all' quit 7111.4 ibtileaprocelgtes against the
Prifieess were unconstitutional, and nothing but pubs
lic feeling would ever counteract the impression which
they had made. He rose merely to second the origi-
nal motion.
Mr. YOUNG withdrew his amendment, and the
original Resolution was unanimously carried.
the fourth Resolution, proposing an Address of
condolence to her Royal Highness on the death of
the Duchess of Brunswick, and congratulating her
on the public manifestation of her innocence, from
imputations upon her character, was. neat proposed,
and agreed to unanimously.
Mr. KEMNHSH came forward to move the Ad-
dress, and conceived from the unanimity which ap-
peared in the Hall, that he had only to propose it.
—(Alrwh applaufe.) He congratulated the Meet-
ing on die presence of the worthy and distinguished
Aldo arson (Wood), and apprehended with him that
the ntsv-ioade Knight, called only a Knight by
courtesy, had been convinced of the innocence of
her Royal Highness during his late fruitless search
after ev.dence against her. It appeared that inves-
tigations had continued to be made after the delivery
of the report of the Commissioners, for he had
heard that a certain mysterious document was yet
unpublished, and it would be proper for those who
kept it back to declare its contents. Much had been
said concerning the complaint of her Royal High-
ness, Vespecting the confirmation of the Princess her
daughter. Permitting a political, if not a vital ce-
remony to remain unconsummated, might reasonably
alarm a Protestant Princess, who well knew that con-
firmation was necessary towards the succession to the
Crown. (Plaudits.) An attempt had been made
to foist upon her Royal Highness a child she never
had, and attempts were made to deprive her of the
one that belonged to her. He merely mentioned
this, to shrew his belief that she did not,make the ob-
servation concerning her daughter for the sake of
controversy. The laws of the land were the birth-
of Britons, and the Meeting might be reason•
ably alarmed, lest when the protection of the laws
was withdrawn from a Princess, that it might he
withdrawn from themselves. He should, therefore,
propose, as a proper manifestation of the opinion of
the Electors of Southwark, an Address to her Royal
Highness, in substance as follows :
" That the Electors of the ancient Borough of Southwark con-
doled with her Royal Highness for the death of the Thigh ss of
limy N MICK , and congratulated her in h viog frustrated w! at. sus
desie,ns were formed against her honour and her life, hoping ttait
she would be restored to her original splendeur and dignity, and
prole!sing warn ration ;it'd attachment to het Royal liiBhtu.s and
her illustrious Daug,iiter."
Mr. YouNt; said, he perfectly accorded with every
sentiment contained in the Addiess, and rose fer the
purpose of seconding it.
The Address was then agreed to unanimously,
and the Chairman, with Mr. Thornton, and Mr.
Calvert, the Borough R,:presentatives, were ordered
to present it to her Royal Highness.--(Loud aft-
idause. )
Several Resolutions of Thanks were then agreed
to :—To Mr. IiROUGH:.!tf, and the Advisers of the
Prii.cess— to Mr. C(1.31 RA NE JOHNSTONE -- to Mr.
FAD, and to Sir F. 13t itr rt ; and also to
Mr. Alderman Woon, and the Livery of London.
Mr. You.No proposed Thanks to tla! Representa.
Lives, Mr. CALVERT and Mr. THORNTON ; but this
being opposed, was withdrawn ;• and a motion was
adopted, to instruct the. Rt•ptesentatives to originate
la Parliament some motion, to bring the authors of
the Conspiracy against the Princess to condign pu.
nishment.
Thanks were :hen voted to the Committee who bad
originated this business in the Borough, and also to the
Chairman; alter which the Meeting was dissolved.

The Ladies have made a most important discovery
in that excellent and valuable article, the Patent Cot-
:on Thread Shirting, brought out by the house of
MILLARD, in the City. It is found to be a most de-
Jirable article for Slips (as well as a substitute for
Linens), possessing the lour essential requisites—
Whitentss—Substance—Durabi ty—and Lightness.
A young Lady of the name of Coui Num:. was so
shockingly bin nt at the house of leer aunt in Fulham-
row, Diary-la-Bonne, on Thursday evening, that she
cannot possibly recover. She had, it is supposed,
Callen asleep whilst reading, and the candle caught
her garments. She ran into the passage in a blaze,
but the maid servant was too much alarmed imme-
diately to assist her, and her clothes were reduced to
tinder.

The approaching Campaign is likely to be more de-
cisive to suffering Europe than any one since the
French Revolution. We understand a plan of ope-
rations has been submitted to, and highly approved
by, our Government, accompanied with a recent in-
vention, said to be of superior Force to the mechani-
nal powers employed by Archimedes, and calculated
to inspire the fullest confidence in our Allies ; it com-
bines a Force of Two Hundred Thousand Pounds,
and will be shot from one small Wheel into the
purses of Adventurers in the present State Lottery,
in 10,159 Prizes, some of which are of £20,000 and
810,00 C value, and so arranged that every Ticket
drawn on Thursday the 6th of May is sure to be
'a Prize.

Mr. J. Williams, of Kingston, Jamaica, was, in De-
cember last, poisoned by a female slave, who mingled
a decoction oftightshade and other deleterious drugs
in some soup, of which himself and three children par-
took. They escaped death by taking emetics i but
are never likely to enjoy perfect health again. The
female slave, who had been stimulated to the crime by
ill usage, absconded to the Maroons in the mountains.

TO THOMAS TAYLOR, ESQ.
T BE,Gleave to inform you, that ever since the year
1790,1 had been afflicted with the I.ues Venerea ; which from
its obstinately resisting every course of medicine prescribed by the
most eminent of the faculty here, and undergoing several severe
courses of salivation and twice discharged from the Hospital, with
little relief, would appear to be of the most inveterate nature. In
the spring of last year my disorder had got to such a head, as
nearly to put a period to my existence. In this state, I was re-
commended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so great a cure
by them here,) to take your Leake's Patent Pills, which I began
to do on the 26th May ; in the course of a fortnigh,. I began to
receive benefit. In little more than a. month I became, by
your liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free from my for-
mer complaints, have recovered my former spirits and strength,
and am become jolly and fat, in which state having continued
many months to the astonishment of all who knew me, I am
at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but beg you for
the good of othir suffering mortals, to make this my case as
public as possible, as I shall on every occasion—in so doing you
will greatly oblige, Sir, your grateful obedient very humble set.-
