The journals due by the Hamburgh Mail, which obght to hale arrived on Wednefday, have been re• teived by way of Hull. Four Gottenburgh Mails have alto arrived fince our laft, but they bring little news. In the preceding columns we have given every thing worthy of notice brought by thefe conveyances, and a few articles extracted front the French Papers received on Saturday. This day the Hamburgh Mail, due yefterday, came to band. There is no truth in the report circulated two days ago of the King of Noss's having been atTaffinated. It is true, however, that great difcontent prevails at Berlin, and that violent diflentions diftraft the Court. M. Hattowrrz has now the foie and uncontronled Any of the Councils of Pruffia. Baron HAnDIW. BIRO announced to the Foreign Minifters on the teth " that his Majefty had given him permiffion to retire to his eftates for an walratited period." We mentioned Tome days ago, that this able Stateftnan was about to withdraw with difguft from a Court, which had not fufficient energy to adopt his counfels, and which allowed itfelf to be infulted by the daily and official abufe of its Minifter. In the North of Europe every thing Items to indi cate war. The condua of Pruffia cannot be viewed with complaifatice by the Northern Courts. France lona fupport Pruffia ; and Raffia makes great pre parations to defeat the views of both. The Berlin intelligence of the tgth mentions that General 'CALK lents, whole corps was affembled on the borders of Swediffi Pomerania, had received orders to hold hitnfelf ready to march at an hour's notice. There orders and demonilrations do not appear to have given much alarm to the Swedes, who, infixed of retreating, are advancing nearer to the centre of the Hanoverian territory. The corps which had been quartered at Ratzeburgh has moved forward to Buk hen, where, fo long as it shall continue, the Port of Lubeck cannot be Paid to be doted againft the trade of England. PrulEa, by its own mircondull, has brought itfelf into fuch circumftanees, that it muft obey every man. date of NAPOLEON, but it was hardly to be ezpeaed that the other Powers lhould for that reafon counte nance arrangements calculated to ruin their own It is not likely that Denmark will be prevailed on to become the enemy of England ; and without her aid the Sound cannot be Phut againft us. She has every thing to dread from England, RufGa, and Sweden, and comparatively nothing from France and PrafGa. The only vulnerable point by land is Hot- Agin, and fhe has an army of 50,00 e men ready for her defence. We treat therefore with extreme diftruft the rumours of her having joined Pruffia againft us. The French feem determined to attempt driving the Ruffians from Cataro and Cane Nuovo. Auflria has granted permiflion to a French army to march through Frioul to Dalmatia, to join their forces al. ready in that quarter. The following are the principal articles of news received by the Hamburgh Mail of this day: AUGISURCH, Arm. to.—The exchange of eon. rice s between Paris, Munich, and Vienna, is fo incef rant, that yeflerday, in the courfe of five hours, (even paired through this place. Marfbal Berthier, Minitler at War, remains at Mu iiich. The late events appear to have retarded his departure. FROM THE BANKS or THR LICH, APRIL 12 —The departure of Marfbal Soult from Bavaria is again countermanded. It is laid at prefent, that his corps has received orders to march to Dalmatia, and will be followed by that of General Marmon', which is in Ifiria. H•MBUatOM, Aram v.—Letters have been re ceived here, which affect, that an Englifh fquadron of fix fail of the line has palled the Sound, to cruise in the Baltic. It appears decided that Holland will be given to Noce Louis Bonaparte, wh6 will take the title of Doke. A Deputation is charged with offeting the Batat , ian Republic to that Prince, who it is believed will itclt retitle it. The embargo laid in England on the PrufGan (hips will do great injury to the trade of that country. — All the commifGons that had been given for the en• fuing mummer goods, hive been countermanded.— We, however, flatter ourfelves that the Englifb will not blockade the PrufGan ports. LA uamas a a, APRIL 6.—Count Lowenhe iffl, who commands the Swedifh troops in this country, has removed his head quarters from Ratzeburg to Bo ehen, nearer to this city. Bt auto, Arai:. s.—His Majeffy has been pleafed to give the Porte &with of the Minifter of Foreign Affairs to Count Haugwitz. Prince Henry, and , Major Hack, his Adjutant, are gone to Drefden. 1 Yefterday Baron Hardenberg tranfmitted the fol lowing Note to the Diplomatic Corps:.••••‘' Theun derfigned Cabinet and State Minifter having received permilEon from his Majefty to retire to his effates for an unlimited petiod, and as the return of Count Haugwitz to Berlin has enabled him to avail himfetf of this permiftion, he has the honour to inform your Excellency of the fame, &c." 4 On Sunday, in the afternoon, the two Minifters, Count Haogwitz and Baron Hardenberg, bad.. con ference which lafted feveral hours : and, in tbe after noon, Count Haugwitz had his firft audience of his Majefty. We learn, that Lieutenant General italltreuth has again received orders to hold his corps in readinels to snatch at an hour's notice. Aran. 19.— AG Englith Courier has brought in telligence to the Britilh Minitler here, of the embargo laid upon the Pratllan thips : we are :awed that three have already been taken in the North Sea. His Royal Highnefs the Duke of Sussex is men. tinned in high circles as intthcled for the Go►ernment of Jamaica. In the fame circles His Royal Highnefs the Duke of Kitty is mentioned as intended to be appointed Commander in Chief in Scotland : in that event Lord HAILIINGTON will have the command in Ireland. Litters Patent have been paired nnder the Great Seal of Ireland, for ranting the office of His Ma issry's Pat Mailers General in Ireland, to the Right Hon. RICHARD HILT, Earl of DOMOUGH -140111, and the Right Hon. HURT FITZORRALD, commonly called Lord HINIT FITZORRALIN The 92d Highland regiment are arrived in Dublin. A divifion of the light dragoons belonging to the King's German Legion, arrived in Dublin from Li. verpool—they were marched to Shelborne Barracks. New York papers have been received to the 14th ultimo. They have furnifhed us with the following additional particulars relative to the vidoty of Sir JON,. DUCKWORTH 1--• Captain Pildurros, of the American brig Man. was at St. Domingo with his veffel at the time of the anion. He informs his owners, that when the Eng. lifh fleet hove in fight, great bodies of the French (cameo were on Shore procuring wood and water; in confequence of which the French (hips did not get under weigh till feven o'clock, and had not formed their line till nine. He States, that when the beadmoß Britifh Ship commenced the engagement, the fuftained the fire of the whole of the French Chips for upwards of twenty minutes, and before the others came up, the was entirely difsnalied ; but when her coadjutors arrived, they made a dreadful retaliation. The French Admiral mißaking, from the fmoke, the Alexander for an enemy's (hip, fell upon her, and cut away all her malls by the board. At this time two Englifh Ships ran alongfide the French Ad miral, and poured in fo heavy a fire, that the upper decks, from the weight of metal, from the main hatchway forward, fell upon the lower decks and crufbed many of the crew to death. The Admiral then ran his !hip on the rocks, and the DIOMEDE fol lowed his example. All the French (hips fought bravely except le Brave, and She (truck on the third broadfide. The Imperiale's crew confined at the time of the aCtion of 1350 mcn, of which only 120 have forvived. The DIOMEDI had 250 killed before fie went afhore, and many were drowned and killed by attempting to climb the rocks. The American Captain law the whole of the engagement from the top of a houfe on an elevated fpot. Captain PIMBIRTOII obf , that the defeat of the French has been the prefervation of the trade of St. Domingo, as they were avowedly going upon a plundering expedition along the coati, for the purpofe of dettroyirg the Brigand ports, and confifcating or burning all the veffels which they contained. He concludes his letter with Slating, that the people of St. Domingo were in great connernation about ann. ther Englills fleet which appeared off the harbour at the time he was writing. They conceived that there mutt have been anotho. engagement to windward, as a French line of battle (hip, not belonging to Ad miral Lass asoua's divifion, was off the harbour dig% maned, and an Englifh fleet was heaving in fight with a 74 difmaned. From Bolton papers to the 9th ult. we learn, that the good fenfe of the people of America is beginning to prevail over that faction which has laboured to in. volve them in a war with thislountry. The exports from America, of her own produce and manufactures, during the laft year, was valued at 42,205,961 dollars, of which this country took 16,459,766, being more than a third part of her en. tire produce. Of her exports, generally, Britain and her colonies took 27,063,277 dollars ; France and her colonies, 8,245.013 ;—Holland and her colonies 5,523,423 ; and Spain and her colonies 4433539. Saturday we received a packet from Antigua, and force other Wen India papers to the loth ult. but they are wholly filent as to the French fquadron re cently arrived in that hemifphcre. The Agamemnon, Sir E. BERRY. was re-fitting at Antigua onthe loth, and the NOR I'HUMIIIRLAraD%As daily expeacd there It,, 11. e like purpofe. Several prifoners taken in the anion off S:. Domingo had been conveyed to Antigua by the A Gala &linos. NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE. MAILS THIS DAY.—Wind N. W. AIM DUI. •ItIL.
