That an embargo be immediately pot on all Englids verde. " 11. That all Fngl fh °Seers and Sailors be immediately tent to the French army. '• 111. That the bier'-pants of the City make a declaration of the Inerchandise belonging to the Englifh, which are conligned to them. " Alio, their fituation with regard to their Englifb Correflion. dents." Every one of the above demands was refuted.— Neverthelefs, the French troops have continued to refpea the neutrality of Bremen and its territory.— Indeed, they every where obferve the ttriadt difci pline. Hastottaos, Juws 17.—Citizen Rstweata, Mini• fier from the French Republic to the Circle of Lowe, Saxony, delivered the day before yefterday to a De • putation of the Senate, a Note from the Flan Cow ate., containing an anfwer to the congratulations which the Senate had harkened to make on the Sena tus Confultum decreeing him the Confulate for life. The Senate testified to the Ambaffador their fincere joy and gratitude at the unequivocal fentimenti of regard which the nosy Corium expreffes in this note towards the city of Hamburgh, and which are at this critical period peculiarly welcome. The whole Elthorate of Hanover is now in the hands of the French troops, except the diftriets de (tined for the Hanoverian army, which in its retreat to Lauenburg has (offered many hardfhips for want of provifions. All ammunition, arms, &c. are given up. . A few da)s ago a party of French dragoons went to Cuxhaven, where being informed by the 'Governor, Senator JAN isc Ft, that they were on Ham burgh territory, they declared they did not come in a military view, but merely for pleaftire. It feems, however, that they only intended to reconnoitre (though force fay they hoped to find one or both the Englifh Princes), as they have fence returned, and ' now occupy Cuxhaven and Ritzebuttel. The Eng lint poll will now therefore go through Holftein to Helgoland. One Englint mail (of the 7th) is come to Tonniagen on the Eyder, and would have been 'here, but the Poll.office at that place dirt not think proper to forward it hither till an exprefs had been fent to Copenhagen for orders, which would take five or fix days : we hope therefore to receive one if sot both the mails now due in a very fliort time. The Prut Gan Minifter announced, on the toth in flow, to the Senate, in one of their private meetings. that the Pruffien Ambaffador at Paris has been fue eefsful in his application to the FIRST CONSUL for the free navigation of the Elbe. We are further at- Cured that the Ruffian Minifter has Qrongly remon firated againft the invafion of Hanover. Yeiterday the Senate fent an ellafette to Berlin, re lative to the intelligence received from Cuxhaven, to thank the IEIIIO of Founts. for the communication be has been pleated to make to this Government, that be has opened negotiations with the Cores Coss oz to leant the fafety of the Hanle Towns of Hamburgh, Bremen, and Lubeck. It is generally believed here, in tome of the bell Informed circles, that the KING of Paossia, toge ther with the EMPEROR of Russia, had long ago ptopofed to England the entire fafety and protedion of the Eleaorate of Hanover, as well as the Hank Towns, and all the reit of the North of Germany, by means of drawing a cordon, and keeping on foot an army fufficiently flrong to refill, with fuccefs, every attempt of hoftile aggreffion. The conditions of that guarantee are Paid to have been, " That his BRITAISMIC MAJeSTY flIOUld sUow, during the pre. fent war, then in contemplation, the validity of the principle which gave rife to the Northern Confede racy. viz. that freed& I, bottom "weld male free tooth." This, however. bad been rejected by the Britilh Ca binet. Among the infinite number of contradielory re ports, it is fcarcely pollThle to find any one more de ferving of attention than another. Yelterday we were allured that Ruffia, Pruaia, and Denmark, -had pre rented a joint rernonftrance at Paris, requiring the evacuation of Hanover in twenty days by the French, and to•day we are told that an expref? is arrived with intelligence that England has declared war againti all thole three powers, for not having prevented its being occupied by them. The general opinion (pro bably berade it is the general with) fcems to be, that the prefent troubles will fpeedily be terminated by the niedisstioa of the Northern Power', whole in tereft is materially affeCted by them, in proportion to the magni..uJe and fuccefs of the mcalures taken by thi. Freach to flop the commerce with England ; for whatever opinion fume may have of the difadvan• tags which the commercial fuperiotity of England is of to there and other powers, yet it requires no grey degree el polttieel penetrati, n to fee, that fo futdca an interruption of the long eflablifhed courfe of things mull be detrimental. Such a Rate of is unnatntal and cannot !aft ; and it remain' on ly to l ien n.llether England, dquived of all commerce, in fuch Rates as the power of France can ir.fltterce. but monopolizing that of the ref of the g l , •• ; m chile powers deprived of all commerce ol..tever, sill be firft obliged to make conccfnons t • r '...re things to their old Rate.

Her daughter attempted, at the fame time, to nab another Ruffian Officer, but he had the good fortune to parry the blow—We expel the de tails of this tragical event. Sr. NTEASEUICH, MAY a7.—The news of Lord Wm rrwoar u's leaving Paris occafioned fuch a fenfa. tion among the merchants, that all bufinefs on change was at a Hand. May 3t.—On the sfith inn. was celebrated here the fecular &Rival of this Imperial City. Early in the morning the troops, to the amount of 20,000, were put is motion. At nine o'clock the Imperial Family went in nate from the Winter Palace to the Marble church of St. Ifaac, which, together with the Admiralty and Senate Houfe, furround the flatue of Perla the GaSAT. The E111.111.01L was on bode back, and commanded the troops. After divine fer vine the Imperial Family and fuite went on foot to the Senate Houfe, where the Senators were affem bled. Both Etapreffes, the two youngett Great Dukes, the three Great Ducheffes, the Count Paso, riot, Princefs Louisa of WIITEUSIRG, Princefs I Am s Li a of BADEN, and the firft perfons of the empire and Court, appeared on the balcony erected for the purpofe, and law the whole ceremony. The troops marched along the sank of the Neva, and thea de. filed, lowering their colours and prefeniing their arms before the Ratue of Pine I. Before the Senate Houfe lay a new (hip of tso guns, on the deck of which was a little boat, the firft veffel of the Ruffian fleet enablinied by Parse. In this boat were forne old men, from tog to ta• years of age, who, as eye witneffes of the foundation of Peter(burgb, were ho noured by his Mayievr with prefents and penfions for life. The weather was uncommonly fine, and the whole city was fplendidly illuminated in the evening. In a few days the Euratom. fets 4 on a tour to Finland, where he will remain a fortnight, to get perfealy acquainted with the country. An exprefs from the houfe of Hort and Co. brought this morning the news of the declaration of war. LONDON. MONDAY, JUNK 2.

S7l Sfi 57 The late hour at which the letters by the Ham burgh Mails were delivered out on Saturday obliged us to pollpone the principal part of their contents till this day. We have now given very ample details. A Ruffian Courier arrived in town early yefterday morning from St. Petertburgb, with difpatches to Government and the Ruffian Ambaffador here.— The Courier came through France. On his arrival at Calais on Saturday morning, the French Cornmif fary Maim so D, in confequence of direaioos from the French Government, ufed all poffible expedition to forward him to England. Masoavn alto gave him a note to thew to the Englith Innkeepers, (the Courier being unable to (peak either French or Englifh) de firing them to accelerate his journey. Ameffenger from Vienna, and another from Spain, arrived on Saturday afternoon. The d ifpatches brou gh t by the latter, no doubt, relate to the propofitions of neutrality, which is fuppofed to have been offered. What the terms are which have been held out we arc unacquainted with: but it is generally believed, that the complete fecurity of Portugal is the principal ob jed Ripulated. The Aforritetir •f the 23d arrived yefferday ; it con tains tome literary curiolties The Bithops of Verfailles, %Limper, Ghent, Metz, and Cambray, have ilTued paftoral letters for cele brating public prayers for the fuccefs of the war. The following are the grand outlines of the fpiritnal Proclamation of Cardinal de Bettor, by divine au thority, and the favour of the Holy Apoftolic See, Cardinal Prieft, Archbifbop of Paris, &c. &e. " France (lays he, in his Exordium), our deareft brethren, was reßing on her triumphs ; her Chief Magißrate had, by his valour, covered her with lats• rels, and by his wifdom augmented her territory; he ornamented her cities, and gave energy to her com merce ; but how deceitful are the ways of the fleeting world ! When we thought ourfelves in the enjoyment of the moll pedal fecurity, the horizon lowered, the mind was feized with uneafinefs, the alarm became general, and war was declared—but compote your (elves, deareß brethren; the friend of vittory will dire& our armies; and fcarcel y have they marched out of the territory, when we behold them matters of the canasta. tal poffeffions of our rival. But the C.enguerer of Eu rope is aware that the fate of arms is uncertain, and that in order to fix it, it becomes proper to invoke the aid of the Goa of BAT rt.& thlisfres sr to este order, Au pub& prayers is psi irp it the Cheraw, far the jortofi cf drawing days tie kflaz of Hearst as his Alf soder- Cosfertetsr ter vefirsom, g a welgatts cif Dewiest nal oefltr, Sur illififreVajlfatif et marl, d linftertlt Aran farde coattlasalit: ot is *ere illszlert)Cattsr Dewrtre, be sorttsr Etchlaa, Reptant jaittatur et olirsessr es Lista film et fotienthrin iniqua." The mandate concludes with an exhortation to the faithful, to add falling. alma, and other deeds of piety to pulhlie prayers, in order to reader them more efficacious, and to call dowO the aid of which they sand in need. _ _ _ Cardinal CAusscsats, the Archbifhop of Roust(' ?a his Mandate, after Rating that France takes up arms to repel an unjua swam, proceeds in the follow ing ftrain : _ _ _ " This confideratioo perfuades us that the SC/Vial/GM ARBITER of the Deltinle. of Empires will favour our eaufe•—that be will re fute to our enemies his Divine pro's:di:ion, without which the remit formidable preparations for war only lead to a more certain defeat —that he will avinge the fir,rethefi tilrealiss, which he was invok ed to guarantee by our enemies 14 weu as by us Let us befeech the At mioury that the Man of his Right Hand /noun dela ;irate), that map who under his &realms and by his orders, has done fo much for the reftoration of his worfhip, and who purports to perform Rill more, may continue like Cv 'Los to be the Chryl of rrrvoiloota.

The Bilhop of °spasms quotes the denunciation of the prophets Emits:. and hams againft Tyre, and applies them to this country. The Archbifhop of Rams has 'hewn lefs extrava gance in his Addrefs. He concludes try exhorting the faithful to join falling, alms, and other works of piety,to their prayers,to render them more efficacious.

A guard of twelve Mamelukes arrived at Boulogne on Friday, and Boxataays, it was cuppoced, would be there on Saturday or yefterday. On Saturday evening an Admiralty Mellinger left town with difpatches for the Port Admiral of Ply mouth. The Commanders of the different companies of tea fencibles are ordered to make weekly returns to the Admiralty. Sir Hosea POPHAM bad a long interview with the Admiralty Boyd yelterday ; and it is rumoured ? that he is to bare the chief command of a fecreterpedttion. It was yellerday generally reported, that Sir SYD war SMITH had fallen in with, and taken a number of gun and fiat bottomed boats. The (aft is, he has fent in tome French and Dutch 6(bing•boats.

The Frcnch Bifhops are putting up prayers for the fucccfs of the French arms againft England ; thole very Bifhops, who, a few months ago, were fed and proteiled by this Country. They are now praying for an Ufurper, though they took an oath of fi delity to their lawful King Sir Joey B Wseser. oar etenbafrad2ir st the Court of Peterfburgh, is either aaually upon his return, or will fhortly take his leave of that city.— We are happy in being able to afore our readers that the moll pedal harmony preeails between the Court; of London and Peterfburgh. and that his return is totally unconneaed with their political relations.— Sir Jons B. W . f ys, that at a time when his country is engaged in a war the molt ferious ever waged againit France, it is neither confillent with hishonour nor his inclination to as in a civil cepa ' city, however dignified the Ration. We may, there fore, loon exped to fee him refume his command upon that element where be has difplaved fo much ability and gained fo much glory. We do not be lieve the peilon is yet fixed upon who Mall fucceed him at St. Peter(burgh. It is with pleafure we can (late, for the informa tion of tbofe concerned in the Jamaica trade, that very little apprehenfion may be entertained for the fafety of the 'Ails now homeward-bound from that &and. The attention of Sir J. T. Docerroarr, Commander on that Ration, to every thing which regards the commerce of that colony, and the Oriel difeipline which he keeps up in the fleet. do him the gresteft honour. and Chew that be is deferving of the great troll committed to his charge. The lateß ac. counts from that quarter mention. that be had offi• cially fignified to the Mayor of Kingßon, for the in formation of the Planters and others, that a 74 gun 'hip would leave Jamaica lot Great Britain the latter end of May. and that the would take under convoy any veffek then ready ; at the fame time it was un derftood, that be would, on application, grant a Afe convoy to homeward bound veffels, whenever a fuffi cient number were ready. The intelligence of war having adually taken place with France, which mull have reached him long before this time, would necef farily caufe loose change in his rneafures, as it would oblige bins to reduce the convoys to periods for lea,. in; that ifland, eflablifbed during the lea war; but this circumftance can by no means leffen his merit, as his intentions thew every difpofition to precept the commerce of this country ; and at the fame time to retain a refpeaable force under his command, to as as circumltances may require. Lieutenant-General Nuoear had jolt finifheils in the latter end of April, a tour round the Wand, for the purpofe of infpcaing the regular forces and mi litia ; the fecond be has made fine he became Lieu tenant-Governor of Jamaica. With regard to the former, he found them in general very healthy, owing to the ninny falutary regulations he has introduced, and in good difcipline.
