Another miserable farce is exhibited 
in the etigueite of sending a cast-off pa-

frame, have been w ell nigh exhausted, to 
the empirical fountains in the vicinity 
of Bristol; where the undermined and 
rumbling Paki of his constitution may 
quietly moulder aw ay, out of the sight of 
those professional attendants or advi isers, 
who anticipated, and were conscious of

DENMARK. | 
N the 9th instant a Royal Ordi- 
vauce, dated trom the Palace of 
Culdinghaus, was published, relative to 
the conduct to be observed with respect 
to the subjects of Great Britain, and the 
public property which may be detained. 
By this ordinance, a committee is ap- 
pointed to mect in the city of Altona, 
for the examination of all bills of ex- 
change drawn or indorsed by British sub- 
jects, in order to determine whether the 
said bills be English property or not. 
On the 14th, another ordinance was 
published, relative to the privateers, and 
the establishment of Courts of Adjudi- 
cation of Prizes. These courts are to 
be established at Flensburg, Altona, 
and other places. As in this ordinance, 
the principle that ‘ free ships make free 
goods,” is laid down as not to be de- 
parted from, the ‘privateers are strictly 
forbidden to bring in any ships, either 
of triendly or neutral nations, let the car- 
go appertain to whom it may, if the 
ship’s papers are fotmd to be regular, 
and she be not loaded ‘with'contraband 
of war, destined for an English port. As 
** free ships make free goods, so on the 
other hand, the principle, that an “ ene- 
iy’s ships make enemy’s goods,” is 
likewise to be acted on, unless it can 
satistactorily be shewn the cargo is neu- 
tral property, and was on board betore 
the commencement of the war. 
PRUSSIA. 
An Interdict of British Commerce bas taken place 
in Prussia as will appear by the following 
Proclamation issued at Memel. 
It is hereby made known to alt merchants 
of this place that in pursuance of the peace 
concluded at Tilsit, between Prussia and 
France, notonly all Prussiaa ports shall be 
shut against English ships, but that also all 
trade and commerce between Prussia and Eng- 
land must cease. 
Hitherto they could only be shut in a pri- 
vate manner, because several Prussian ships 
were lying in English ports, and it became 
therefore necessary to preserve them, and be- 
cause several other vessels, laden with previ- 
sions, unavoidably required for this country, 
were stillat sea. These obstacles being now 
removed, we hereby publicly make known b 
his’ Royal Majesty’s command, that this port, 
in common with all other Bans harbours, 
are shut against all ships which are Bacick 
or belonging to any indivual of the Gnas 
nation: that under no circumstances and ne 
pretences whatsoever, an English ship, or 
even a neutral bottom, coming trom English 
ports or English colonies, shail be admitted 
in the ports of this country 5 and that.no per- 
son shail be permitted, on pain of the goods 
being confiscated, and other severe punish= 
ment inflicted, to send goods from this place 
to any English port or English colonies, or 
to order them to be sent to this port—in short 
that no navigation or trade with England or 
the English colonies shail be permitted eithez 
in English or neutralbottoms, Now whereas 
the strict observance and execution of this 
point stipulated in the treaty of 'Tilsit between 
France,
