German Papers to the 3d instant have arrived, from
which we have made a few extracts, among which is
the answer of King JERONIE to the Hanoverian De-
puties. The French Law of Conscription has been
adopted into the Danish Code. A Diet is to be held
this month of the Confederation of the Rhine, when
the Protector is to announce the further exchanges of
lerritory on which he has determined. A paper has
been circulated purporting to be a recantation by the
allant Hermit of all his patriotic principles, but it
is evidently a most contemptible fabrication.
Dutch Papers to the 7th have also arrived, con-
taining a list of the American vessels captured and se-
questrated by the French in the ports of France, Spain,
Holland, and Naples, for twelve months, ending the
Ist instant, will be found in a preceding column. They
amount to the number of 136, the value of which may
be estimated at some millions. The effects of this
system, however, it seems are not to be exclusively
restricted to the countries under the immediate influ.
ence of France. They are gradually to be extended'
to the whole of the Continent. The principle is pro-
bably by this time in full operation throughout the
whole of Denmark, if we can rely on the report of
the Mate of an American ship, who arrived on Sa-
turday from Tonningen. He effected his escape on
the 9th instant, at the hazard of his life, by putting
to sea in a small boat, in consequence of its being
understood that all American citizens would be seized
I and put into confinement, until the future relations
between France and America were ascertained. He
also states, that a large French force had entered
Holstein.

The American Minister had not left Paris so late
as the 6th instant, nor was it known that any prepara-
tions were making for his departure. It was, however,
a general opinion there that war must take place be-
tween France and the United States.

His Prussian Majesty has contented to allow the
coasts of his kingdom to be occupied by French troops,
until the conclusion of peace with this country. It is
not impossible that She Emperor ALEXANDER may be
invited to accede to a similar arrangement.

The following letter is from an Officer belonging
to one of the ships of war in the Tagus :

46 LISBON, APRIL 3.

it We arrived here on the 26th ult. and found'
every thing tranquil. There are a great number of

merchant vessels in the Tagus, and trade, on the
whole, is very brisk. The French are, however, in
considerable force on the frontiers, and both armies
have been in sight of each other for some time. The
Douro, (which is not so wide as Hamoaze in its nar-
rowest part) at present separates the main body of
1 each army ; but detached parties of the enemy are
continually crossing over, and skirmishes almost daily
take place ; these have, hitherto, ended in favour of
the British, who have, in different affairs of this kind,
taken a considerable number of prisoners—sixty-eight
were brought in yesterday. There are now lying in
the Tagus, the BARFLEUR, 98, Honourable Admiral 1
GEORGE BERKELEY ; CESAR, 80, KENT and! IMPE- 1
TUEUX, 74, three sloops of war, and a number of 1
transports. Admiral BERKELEY is going to shift his
flag to the CrESAR, in order that the BARFLEUR may
Igo home to get some repairs.
,g P. S. Accounts have just arrived here, that the
French have received a reinforcement of several thou-
sand men ; and that they are preparing to cross the
Douro at three different points. The news of a ge-
neral battle is hourly expected. Our army is in the
best possible condition, and there is here no alarm or
fear for the result. My next shall convey you the
' issue of the pending conflict; till then, Adieu !
Duty divides us: yet, to Fancy's eye,
Remembrance paints the social homely scene;

Orders have been sent to Plymouth by the Lords of I
the Admiralty, for the Gleaner ketch, or any other
swift-sailing vessel, to sail for America, and from
thence to the Island of Sombrero, and all the other
West India Islands, to search for and endeavour to
ascertain the fate of NATHANIEL JEFFERY, the seaman
late belonging to the RECRUIT sloop of war, who was in-
humanly set on shore on the above-named barren rock
of Sombrero, by his commanding officer, the Hops
Captain LAKE. The Gleaner in consequence went
into the Sound on Friday evening : she sails in pur-
suance of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'S motion in the House
of Commons ; and the persons who go out in her are
ordered to have the unfortunate man advertised in all
the American and West India papers ; and to be very
minute in their search on Sombrero, to asc!.rtain whe-
ther any of his bones, or other trace of him remain
there.

Barbadoes papers to the 7th of March have been
received ; by which we learn, that the Cork fleet, in-
stead of having been destroyed by the enemy, as was
reported some says ago, bad arrived safely iaz the
West Indies. •
The Oratorios this season, have had tine! ampled
attraction and Success. They concluded on Friday
night with an overflowing house. The musical Selec-
tions, and indeed the whole arrangements for this sea-
son, reflect the highest credit on the Messrs. ASHLEYS,
whose exertions for the pubitc entertainment it has
long been our pride to record.
The Opera on Saturday night was retarded for some
time by an accident to the front row of lamps. The
consequence was that the Ballet of Pirhe proceeded
no farther than the middle of the second act when the
clock struck twelve.
The celebrated PAI'L BENFIET T. died at Paris, at the
latter end of last month, in v:Jry indigent circum-
stances. His fortune on hi- !,4-.urn from India, a few
years ago, was supposed to ccilsiderably exceed half
a million sterling.
Married, on Friday the 13th instant, at Maidstone,
by the Rev..lnstas REEVE, ELY CRVMP, L,i. surgeon
to his Majesty's Forces, to MARIA Lovis., eldest
daughter of the late FLINT STACEY, Esq.
Thursday se'nnight the first stone of the intended
new Pier at Margate was laid with the usual forma-
lities.

A duel was lately fought at Paris between two
comedians (M. PRESQUE and M. DOULE) of the
Theatre Francois, in consequence of a quarrel occa.-
sioned by jealousy, both h tying for some time paid
their addresses to the same Lady. It is not a little
singular that both gallants are upwards of sixty years
of age, and the object of their tender flame on the
verge of seventy. They were attended to the field—
the former by his son, the latter by his nephew. On
the first fire, M. Doute was wounded in the arm,
when a reconciliation took place.

Friday a Court-Martial was held at Plymouth, on I.
Mr. Ellis, carpenter of his Majesty's sloop the PEA-
cocx, for contempt to his superior officer. The charge
being only in part proved, he was sentenced to be !
severely reprimanded, and admonished to be more cir-
cumspect
in his conduct for the future.
Saturday Mr. W—N, M. I'. attended, with his
Solicitor, at Bow-street Office, to complain against
a woman, who had considerably annoyed him. The
defendant stated, that she had a child by the com-
plainant, for which she had received an insufficient
maintenance • Mr. W. replied, that he had already
paid £1.3, and that she had reported the child to be
dead, but now contradicted it, and alledgeci, she
had seen it within a few days, and that she had ex-
pended upwards of £lOO which she insisted on his
repaying, otherwise she would never leave him. On
this, Mr. W. swore, he considered his life to be in
danger, and the defendant was compelled to find bail
to keep the peace.
Saturday evening, an inhabitant of ChandOs-street,
was charged with forging the acceptance of Mr.
Strickland, of Richmond, to several bills, for one of
which Mr. Strickland had been arrested on Saturday.
The prosecutor, however, not being in possession of
the bill, caused a defect in the evidence ; and the pri-
soner was ordered to find security for his appearance
on a future day.
Saturday three men were committed from Bow-
street for trial, charged with picking pockets. Tak-
ing advantage of the curiosity or interest which, from
recent events, is now more than usually directed to
the movements of the military, these men constantly
followed the city guards) and while one stopped to
tell to any persons he could induce to stop some pre-
tended service or object of the guard, such as to carry
Sir F. BURDETT to the House of Commons to be re.
primanded, &c. his associates.ivere busied in empty.
mg the pockets of his auditors.
