COPENHAGEN, October %.
The following article is copied from our
Court Gazette
!" The measures adopted by the govern
ment Of the continent to cut off all CONNER
clal intercourse on the part their subjects
with England, are sufficiently known. It
has therefore been with the greatest dissa-
tisfaction that we have seen numerous mer-
camille fleets protected by the armed yes
sells of our enemy, passing into the Baltick,
fully laden, and returning in similar state.
1t was easy to conceive that all these car
goes were not destined for Swedish ports
but by what means our enemy contrived to
effect their purpose of procuring articles of
the first necessity from the ports Of the Bal
tic, and Of there unloading and disposing Of
their superhuous manufactures, we were
for a long time wholly at loss how to con-
ceive. But at length We were apprized of
that system of deception, and convincing
proofs are obtained, that by falsifying in
voices and ships papers, the views of the go
vernments of the continent are frustrated
the rigor of their measures being eluded by
their own subjects-the first principles of
commerce, integrity and confidence, tram
pied upon-and feeling Of indifference
carried to such pitch, that men have not
hesitation to deceive a government which,
faithful to its engagement, does not consult
its own interests, by connlving at frauds,
and being ostensib!y rigid, bat secretly in
dulgent.
ct is, moreover, the interest of Den
mark and her allies, and it concerns the
honor of the governments of the continent,
to obtain the means of detecting these
frauds and every honest merchant must
feel grateful in seeing the discoveries which
have been made in this respect, laid before
the public"
To the above is subjoined in the Gazette
description of the false papers alluded to,
pointing out at the same time, the circum-
stance by which they may be detected.

WINTER-AN ODE.
ONCE more terrific Winters call,
Resembling thro' the erial hall,
Collects his stormy band:
And drenching rain, and driving hail,
Of all that charm'd on hill OF dale,
Despoil the dropping land.
The churlish Sun his glory shrouds
Beneath masque of frownlng clouds,
AS if he grudged look
Amid the wood the Dryad groans,
The Naiad utters piteous means
Beside the brawllng brook.
The towering mountains healthy top,
Now powdered like an airy fop,
Attracts the distant view;
And now around It's Misty cone
The storm floating veil has thrown,
Ofdark and sullen hue,
Again We friendless and ye poor!
Prepare fresh hardships to endure,
Beneath the Tyrant's sway
Shut not your hearts ye rich and great
Against the Wand'rer at your gate,
Bat help him on his way.
Like *hcr, who, in your classick bow'r,
10 Charity devotes the hnnr.
When wint'ry hsrdships press,
Let your benevolence extend,
And pity prompt you to befriend,
The offspring of Distress.
The hop. Mrs. M-de.

COMMUNICATION.

NATURE seldom deprives US of any
natural requisite but she amply requites it
BY bestowing other powers equal to the OBJ
;ect in view: when this is the case it never
fails to excite our admiration and wonder at
the wisdom and goodness Of that God,
g Eho tcmhers The zvind 10 the shorn lamb"
For instance, when we behold a young and
interesting female, { alude to Miss Sarah
Rosers, now residing at Mr.. Thornton's,
near the lower end of King street, to whom
nature has denied in peculiar manner the
use of any of her limbs, vet painting, with
the mouth alone, in degree of excellence
seldom equalled by the "m multitude" writ
ing, cutting with the scissors, &c. how are
we left to admire and adore the hand that
gave the blow 5.
: AS we understand Miss Rogers makes
but short stay in Alexandria, it is sincere
ly to be hoped that those ladies and gentle
men who have not yet seen the pleasing and
highly interesting performance of this young
Ladv, will not neglect the present opportu-
nitv. and we can assure those who have GU
rosity enough to see her at work, that they
will be amply requited by the lively IN
terest she never fails to excite in the bosoms
