ONE E HUNDRED YEARSAGO,

Through the ‘athe of Napole Denmark, Sweden, Russia. and

on.

Prussia were induced Dec 15th, 1800, |

to enter intoa league against the | maritime power of England. The|

Kmperor Paul, of Russia, the bitter | enemy of England, was the head| and soul of the league. Paul had al-| ready laid an embargo on Pritish

‘essels in Russian ports, while the| Danish government |had jordered| its vessels to sotak “the right | claimed by the English. | After unsuccessful attempts at which formed the league, the Eag- \lish government sent a powerful ‘naval expedition yuder Lord Nelson ,and Sir Hyde Parker to the Baltic. On April 2 the British fleet appear | ed betore Copenhagen, when it was | furiously attacked by the Danish

fleet. A bloody naval battle of four hours ensued, resulting the defeat of the Danes,

with a loss of 6,000 men, while the iE nglish lost only 400. Nelson called ‘it the most terrible of his 101 battles. Of the twenty-three ships

of the Danish line eighteen were | excen or destroyed. Eighteen hun- 'dred Danes were killed. Nelson was now preparing to attack the Rus-|

_telligence of the dissolution of the | Maritime League. Emperor Paul | | hz id been assassinated on March| '4, and Nicholas 1., upon ascend-

ing the throne, had declared him- self a friend of Great Britain and | abandoned the hostile league. Prus- | sia, Denmark and Sweden followed | the example of Russia, and then the| league fell to pieces, after less than four months of life.
