Yefterday a Meeting of the principal Printers
and Bookfellers in the metropolis was held at the
Crown and Anchor Tavern, to take into confider.
ation the high price of Paper, and the molt proper
mode to be adopted to effea its reduetion ; when
it was Rated to the Meeting by Mr. MA wmen, that
Reps to that end had already been taken by a ft.
lea few of the Bookfellers, who had drawn up and
fent to the Miniaer a memorial, in which they fet
forth the grievances that the Printers. and Book.
fellers laboured under from the high pricesofPaper,
and prayed that fome relief might be given them
by taking off part of the heavy tax already laid on
that article, or by permitting a drawback on all
books newly printed.
Mr. STOCILDALI did not. approve of the mode
that had been taken for obtaining redrefs. He
thought the application would have had confider.
able more weight, when underaood to be the re
fult of a general meeting of the Printers and Bonk.
fellers, than from a few individuals concerned in
the trade.

It was then fuggefted to lay before the Meeting

Letters received yefterday from the ADMIRAL

Lieut. W. WOOLRIDGE, dated the totkult. at

Gibraltar, (late her faie arrival there with her
ivell-earned prize, a Spanifh xebec, of 22 guns,
and irro men. Lieut. WOOLRIDGC was wounded

in the breafl, but is recovering fait, on board the
hofpital (hip, at Gibraltar. Mr. LYON, the mailer,
died of hi. wounds in carrying to the hofpital ;
the carpenter, gunner, and two feamen died of
their wounds; feven men were alfo badly wound-

ed, but likely to recover.
The following is an extraft of a letter from
Commodore DALE, who commands the (mall
American fquadron lately tent by the United
States into the Mediterranean I am happy
to inform you, that Mr. STFERET, in the fchooner
ENTIMPRISE, of is guns and 9c• men, fell in with
OM of the Tripoline cruifers off this ifland (Mal-
ta.) She mounted 1¢ guns and 8o men. He
took her after an aftion of duet hours, killed 20
of her men, and wounded 30. Not a man hurt
on board the fchooner. The BEY'S cruifers have
not taken any of our merchant veffels as yet."
It is aid that molt coma and prefling applica-
tions have been made to Miniiters by the French
Government to permit the immediate failing of
the expeditions now ready for fea at Breft and other
ports of the Republic, for St. Domingo and the
Eaft-Indies. The permillion will not, however, it
is believed, be granted previoufly to the figning of
. .

the definitive treaty.
A letter from St. Peterffiurgh, dated roth No
vember, fays—" The tall week has been the moll
tremendous weather in our recolleftion, and has
completely flopped all bufinefs ; one hundred fail
of Britith (ups are ready for fea—the !trees are
covered with (now, but we troll they will yet get
away. A new tariff is expected by the 111 of Ja-
nuary—the alterations are not vet known. Goods
continue high (hemp excepted, which, in confe-
quence of the peace, has fallen about 255. per
cwt.) Several flips loading for France."
DISTRESS AT SE 1.-111 C following is an Extra&
of a Letter from Wit. Haswoon, Carpenter of
the Albion of Scarborough, Capt. GRAY, bound
from Memel to Hull :
" \Ve failed from Memel on the 24th 061),bcr,
and made Bornholm on the 28th, brought up, and
lay at anchor until the 3oth. Got under weigh,
and plied to windward all that night, and part of
the next day. In the following evening the wind
became moderate and in our favour, left the north
end of die Bland between fix and feven o'clock.
Shortly after the wind blew very ftrongly from the
weßward; we double-reefed our topfails, wore ship,
and flood to the eaftward all that night, with thong
gales. 'At eight in the morning, Atholm bore
S. W. 3 leagues. The gale increaling, took the
forefail and fore-topfail in, laid by under main•
topfails ; but the thy would not bear it—and in
clewing up the fails they blew in pieces.
" The wind WAS now fo (rung, that the (hip
laid half main deck in the water, which cleared
the deck of every thing moveable ; making a deal
of water, all bands were employed at the pumps,
but to little purpofe. We need every exertion to
wear lip, but our fails were blown to shivers as
loon as !milled. Our mailer and the crew then
thought proper to threw the mainmalt overboard,
but this had no effect on our fituation. The mat=
ter and myfelf went aloft to cut the lee rigging,
but were forced to return, the wind blowing to
ffrong that the flip lay with her malls in the water.
We were then obliged to get upon her broadfide,
in doing which tinee of our boys were (wept off;
one of them was drowned ; the other two,' by
great exertions, recovered the Blip.
" All hopes of life were given up, but, Hefted
he GOD, he did not forfake us, for after we had
been about an hour upon her broadfide, with the
I heavy fea, and the (hip working ft) much, our
fore-malt, howfprit, and maintop-mall went away,
and the (Lip righted to much that we could with
difficulty (land upon deck. The (hip being full
of water, and the gale Rill continuing, we were
every moment in expedation of being walled
overboard, the fea making a clear pall-age over
her. In this fituation we remained from the 3d of
November to the 9th, almoll drowned and per ail-
ed with cold, without a morfel of food, eacept
Come few tallow candles, which were eaten by the
crew and nryfelf. Several veffcls pafied us in the
interval, but the fea running fo high, they could
render us no alli (l ance.
" About noon on Sundny, the 9th of Novem-
ber, Providence fo ordered it, that the brig Cadiz
Packet, Capt. 'Fermi-novo), hound to London,
hove in fight, and chi-covering our fignals, bore
down upon us in a heavy lea. They immediately I
floated out the long boat, Cause under our lee, and
flung a rope made fall to the boat, by which we
hauled it clofc alongtide, until we were enabled to
get in ; but the fea running In high, it was with
great diffieulty we kept the boat fi tan filling. We
all got fate on b:)artl the Cadiz Packet, to the
number of twelve perfons, and were landed at
Elfineur ; but from the great hardthips we had
n idergone, eight of our crew were obliged
left in the hofpitals at that place. I fhall not
dwell any longer on our fufferings, but you may
.judge they were extreme.".
