Germany, after passing Semlin, has been

thought to be in perfect safety. Another

and Greek merchandise, has been also pill
i,oed near Orsowa, on the point OF entering

y. Janissaries at Belgrade are reinforcing
che number of their partiaans. Instead OF
from fifty to sixty, each of them has now
more than two hundred followers. They
collect provisions in proportion. These
measures are attributed to report, that

ference of these pswers was unavoidable.
Whatever may be said of the appearance
Of French army in the extremity ot:the
North sof Germany, it Ecannot butlbe pro-
ductiye ofinconvenience. But the shutting
up of the Elbe and the Weser and salmost
all the pretended claims of England, are
still more inconvenient. 1t is curious to
read the late notification made by Lord
Hawkesbury to all the neutral powers
His majesty has lately received intelligence
that part of the Banks of the Weser hav-
ing been taken possession of by the French
troops, the navigation is no longer free to
his Maiesty's vessels, or those of his sub
iects, whereby the neutrality of that river
has been violated. His majesty has in con-
sequence, tho't it proper to direct that the
mouth of that river should be closely bloc
kaded." 1t is afterwards stated, that His
Majesty will be ready to withdraw the
blockade as soon as his ships can sail up the
river in security, in the same manner as
those of other nations.
Such is the right set upby England res
pecting blockade; it forms part of the
extraordinary maritime code of that nation.
twill not allow ether nations the right of
marching but when it marches itself, nor of
doing but what it does. Should its enemy
have possession of any part whatever OF the
banks of the river, in as much as its navi-
CATION is in that case restricted, all the pow
ers OF inferior or superior territories must
be shut out from it. Not an Individual in
Europe has the right of returning to his
own country, unless England be at the same
Tune allowed that of accompanying him
thlther. They talk Of limitations made by
the English government, in its acceptance
Of the mediation of Russia; VIC know not
whether this doctrine, and these pretended
nights, form any part of them.
When people thus abandons every prin-
slpai OF right recognized amongst nations,
: Z only remains for it to seperate itself from
them also. There are already four Bar
pary Regencies. a fifth may,at pleasure,
= added to them; and the nations of Eu-
tOpe would even do well to pay it tribute

ae seas. These are not prctens;ons aris-
a,S solely from vanity'and pride: in that
vase they might be overlooked and suffered
