A vat], the St. Michael's, arrived yeflerday in the Ri ver from Riga, from whence the failed on the tit intl. in company with about fifteen others, bound to the North of England. They cleared out without any difficulty. No embargo had taken place, nor was there the Intl apprehenfion that the Ruffian Govern ment would refort to fuch a meafure. The intelli gence brought by the St. Michael's is corroborated by letters of the 12th irritant, which were yellerday received from Hamburgh and Altona. Had an em bargo taken place on the 25th ult. as Rated by the Mailer of the American vac!, an event of fuch im portance would very probably have been known at thefe places in eighteen days after. N) intelligence to that tfree.l had reached either of there towns. GOTTENBURGH MAILS. Since writing the above, three Gottealbargh mails have arrived, and have brought letters from lt:;:lian ports of the 27th nit. which mention nothing cf an embargo. The Britifh Refident at Cronitadt .was not, however, free from apprehention, as great pre. parati ms for war were going on in that port. Ore letter, from the Captain of a merchant vetill, men tions thofe preparations, and add , , I will' the wind would come fair—l would be off in an inflant." The King of Sweden has ordered the blockade cf the Rivers Peene and Oder, and alfo of t!lc ports of Anclain, Stettin, and Woigaft, to be railed. The above cireninflance, coupled with the depar• tore of the 'unfortunate Loots the XVIII. and fa mily from Sweden, are ilrong indicati9ns that fome progrefs l•as been made towards an accommcJation between France and Sweden. By letters from Copenhagen, we learn that a report was current there that Admiral GAMBIER had received orders from Englind to capture the Ruffian (hips of war which Etcly failed from that Road, and that he has ckready detached a fquadron for that purpofe. Our Readers nay form fine idea of the difpatch employed in loading the fibres that are coming from Copenhagen. We have feen a letter from the Cap- tain of one of the tranfports, in which he flares that his fh;p (Arn 260 tons burden) was laded in eight hours, with hemp and iron. One letter Oates, that the troops are not to come home in the tranfports, but in the Dann 11111:.—the former being employed to carry 0 , .-es. If this be corral, all idea of retainirg the illind of Zealand has been abandoned. The following are the only articles wot th noticing : BULLETIN.

In the confere:;ces which have taken place at Gittrget , ,n tact wten the Ruffian and Ottoman Pleni potentiat ies, it has been agreed that, after the total evacuation of the two Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia by the arms of the two Belligerent Powers, there (hall be eflahlifhed a Divan, compofed of BoyardF, who (hall govern thofc provinces pro viflonally, their future fate (hall be definitively regulated. The Ruffian Plenipotentiat ies have notified to Prince Ypfilanti, that, in the prefent circumflances, the pro longation of his flay at Bucharefit may be attended with difagreeable coniegnences ; and that he malt remove from that City, and all Wallachia : he has, in confequence, determirsed to gn to Ptterlburgh.— The Holpadars appointed by the Porte will, in like manner, not make their appearance, until farther or dens.

It is now underilood, that at the time the palrports were delivered to the French and Spanifh Ambaft,t dors, they were informed that the moment they quit. ted the Portugueze territory, or a French force ap- proached it, the Principe de Beiza, fon to the Prince Regent, would be fent off to the Brazils, and that the rell of the Royal Family would follow him with. all poffible expedition. It is poffible that this menace might have had the effect of retarding the march of the French troops, and preventing the French and Spanifh Ambafradors from removing farther than a few miles from Lilbon. It is well known, that as the demands of France became more preffing, the Mar quis de Bellas, late Viceroy of the Brazils, and who had formerly been fent to this country on a fpecial million, failed in a flip of war for South America, for the purpofe, it was raid, of making the necelTary preparations and arrangements for transferring the Government. . Great inconvenience having been felt, particularly by the Britifh merchants, from the order of the Por• tuguefe Government, which allowed three months additional grace to bills of exchange, it was revoked by the following EDICT.

Letters from our fquadron off Ferrol, dated the t3th intl. were received yefterday. They Rate that the enemy's (hips in that harbour were perfe6lly ready for lea, having ?heir fails bent, and their crews con• (tautly trained to the guns. it is expated they will attempt to put to fea, the moment they perceive a favourable opportunity to elude the vigilance of our fquadron, which cool' Its of the Ac HILL s, AUDACIOUS, and TN ESE us, of the lire, befides frigates and (loops, under the command of Commodore Sir R.

The Carrier cutter has failed from Yarmouth for Copenhagen, but fhe took no difpatches for the flzet or army. Sir G.

At the time he left the RattLtua, fhe was fail;ng under jurymans, having loft her mainntatt in the gale; hut (he was quite out of danger, and, according to his fuppofitioa, the is gone to Gottenburgh. By the IA advice from the Continent it appears, that within a very fhort time, 32 American veirels have arrived at Bourdeanx, with colonial produce, and half that number in Holland. An article in the Paris Papers, of the toth infant, lays, " The public has been excluded, for fome days, from the Saloon, where the armories were expofed ; but will loon be recompenfed for this deprivation.

DUBLIN, OCTOBER 17. Wednefday night lift, or rather at three o'clock on Thurfday morning, the lodging houfe of Nrs.Tracer, near Ballinteer, was entered by a gang of robheri, who teemed pettedly acquainted with the place and its inhabitants ; they called forfeveral ladies by name, and having deprived them of their watches, trinkets and money, they demanded (upper and wine, which having obtained, they regaled themfelves for nearly two hours, and then went to the houfe of Connfellor White, near the mountain foot, where having, by means of a ladder laircarelefsly in the yard, m oon . ted the roof—they cut the rope of the alarm bell, and afterwards demanded entrance. Mrs. White, from a window, gave them a fum of money, and they departed. We nfiderfiand that Mr. Luke White has taken and committed to Kilmainham, three men charged with the foregoing offences. Saturday night laft, Mr. Timothy Bryan was robbed and molt dreadfully beatAn by a let of ruffians that infeil the Rathfarnham road; he was carried to Mercer's Hofpital, where he now lies dangeroufly man named George Craven, who had his thigh fraaured by a fall, at Kilcock, was alfo carried to Mercer's Hofpital.

About twelve o'clock, on Thurfday night, it blew a futiourffmna from the South. Several boats were flayed upon the River. One of the large trees infide the paling in St. James', Park . was broken off, abort fix feet from the ground; and in its fall threw cloak the paling. Several chimnies were blown down, but we have not yet heard that any perforial injury was fuflained. It blew a fort of whirlwind, and during the thort time that it idled it was dreadfully viulent. It went round the compafs in the fhort (pace of font hours ; and we therefore hope it did not extend far; otherwifc we fear that we fhould receive melancholy accounts of its effedt on our fleets at fea. The ac. counts of its violence in the Downs have reached town, and we are happy to fay, that no feiious chief was (offered. Several veffels broke from their moorings, and fome run for different harbours; but none were 1011. It has been ob@ved, that within the lag fortnight or three weeks there have been felt, is different latitudes, both to the north and fouth, feveral of thefe fudden and local (quails, extremely violent, but of fhort duration—not extending many degrees, and followed by a perfe& calm.

Yetlerday, another fatal accident occurred, in con. fequence of the too common praCice of leaving the poker in the fire. The wife of a mechanic, in Wens? greet, Bunhill tow, While flickling her infant, had het earments, let on fire by a hat poker. In her fright, Di flew to the chamber3oor of a lying.in woman, but cast refuted admillian by the nude; the then ran into the timer, where the prefenred a fcene truly horrific, the whole of her garments being in a blaze, and forming a complete column of moving fire, which was with difficulty extinguiflied by' the application of three pails of water by Come of the neighboors.
