We have received Hamburgh Papers to the 29th last, from which we have made several extrafts.— There is something very mysterious in &NA.. !AM.'S departure from Paris. .1-1 c left that city inccgitifo, and report has assigned Italy as the object of his journey. • In support of this spe culation, an article dated Manta, states, that a great number of troops• have been gradually marched into Italy, principally into the Neapolitan territo ry, for the purpose of making a descent upon Sicily. But the same article adds, that preparations are making with equal activity en the side of Bayonne. BONATA WTE has bees traced in his journey as far as Dijon; and we think it very probable that Spain, and not Italy, is the real objeift of his journey. Ti:e Pogiosa and the liaderrood are arrived in the Humber. They sailed from Helsingburg on the :nth ult., and paried from the following vessels on the Ist instant, viz.— The Manchester, k ; Manchester, Hunter; Resource, 3,;hnecin ; Margret, Metcalf ; Frankfort, Cliffimi ; Kini.tou, ; Cilebec Packet, Bennett; Courier, Fowler; and the Rill psi or, 1 Incadguld. The arenhope, Ss IP (which vessel was reported to be captured off Barnholrn). and the Bailie Mer chant, Dcwsoii, both bound to London, were all well on the 30th ult.—A ship is on shore en the liolderne-s coast.—The Pomona sailed from Riga on the Lith ult. with 32 vessels, which agreed to keep company. N. t one vessel was left at Riga. The B.fary, DaT via, is embargoed at Peters burgh, Ind no other vessel.—Eight vessels had put into Carl ham and Carlscrona; the Neva and Ner vy were of the number. Three gun-brigs were sect for diem. Tne Pomona passed Elsinore on the :lo,h ult.

Dispatches were sent of yesterday. by Go vernment, to Sir SMUT SMITH. ant also to the West Indies. The greatest aftivity prevails in all the depart ments of the Admiralty. Orders have been issued that all ships, as they arrive in port. shall be fitted for sea with the utmost dispatch. In any observations which we have made upon the state of Sweden, we have uniformly asserted the impossibility of that Power remaioing neutral or friendly, in relation to E.ngland, io the present situ ation of the Continent. The spirit of the Swedish KIN° Ve have never doubted. We are ready to give him credit for the most romantic gallantry, but glance at the m.lp of Europe is sufficient to spew his total inals:tiiy to resist the itifinence now operas -1::g urn hint. We gave cn Wednesday, from the Monirerer, the lottery of the Prince of Asruatas, to his father the Ki g of Spam, confessing his guilt, and the declaration of his ROYAL PARRS? granting his pardon. A much greater change has, how ever, taken jl .ce in the fortunes of the Son, than rutrd forgiveness.

If the Paistcs had not confessed his crime and BONAAAITS had ever felt for injured inno cence, or suffering virtue, there would aopear some iocoasistency in conferring honours epon the Prince; hut •neither of these cases is founded in fat; the Pasece has merely said what was set dowa for him, and by his confession of a crime, which we do believe he never meditated, has promoted the •iews of Borta.carre, and cs . vered himself with everlasting disgrace. Nothing is said of the escape of the Duke of In- ANTADO. or of the apprehended disgrace of the PRINCE of the PLAce. Juror had passed tbrongh Burgos some days before, and he talked confidently of being at Lis - bon on the 27th. The Scorpion has taken a French privateer of ten suns. and carried her into Plymouth. Thi► is the second prize taken by her in one week. Aecomats from Reneberg, dated the 11th of November, state, that General WA T taco° lir died suddenly, at Aalbourg, where he was in custody, in consequence of }wring signed the capitulation of Copenhagen. _ _ A Portuguese ship sailed from Ramsgate last week, and was captured the same evening by a French privateer off the South Foreland.

FliaSecretaryleft townonWed n esday a f ternoon , and it was said that he was to embark at Dover for Calais. We do not, however, believe that his Excellency the Ambassador has yet any imention of leaving this country; and his Secretary may pro bably be gone to receive the Princess Sranaassasao, who is shortly caplet:tea to arrive from the Con tinent. A ship which sailed from Plymouth, for Bilboa, with Spanish prisoners, a few werkt ago, com manded by Capt. MAY, returned to !hit port on Sunday, and has brought intelligence, that, by the inteference or dire& mandate of NA roLrom, the Prince of ASTURIAS has not only been liberated front his confinement, but appointed C:ne:alissimo of the Spanish army. By the same vessel, a report has been rixeived, that the French arosy, com manded by Gen. down, had taken possession of Lisbon; tut the date of the event is net mention ed, nor any other circumstance to enable us to judge of its probability. According to intormation from Plymouth. through • vessel which has just arrived there from St.'Andero, the prohibitory Decrees of Bon Al Aar I against our commerce are in future to be enforced in the Spanish ports with the utmost rigour. An orJer had been received at St. Andero just before this vessel sailed, enjoining that no wool should be exported to any past of be British empire. As wool is the principal article of Spanish produce im ported into the United Kingdom, one may infer from this order the total prohibition of any corn meree with Spain, as far as the orders of the Go vernment can be effedive. Do, tor Murata, a Physician of Berlin, enraged at the fame and success of Doc'for GALL, so cele brated for his leatires upon skulls, has set out for America with 12 carriages and six, one half of which are laden with skulls, which he has dissraed, and the other half with ring., gold snuffboxes, watches, and jewellery. An American vesAel has been brought into Cowes in distress, by an English cruiser. She left Cher burgh OD Friday 'tight last. The Captain is ar rived in town, and has communicated the fel leering important particulars :—About three weeks since, he says, an embargo was laid on all vessels in the port of Cherbough ; but on the Vel instant, the order was revoked, and no - ice given that all vessels might obtain their clearances at the Custons-horse, and proceed on their voyages.— Another order, however, for the farther detention of all American ships reached Cherburo from Pa ris, oo the 4th; nor could the yess...l %%inch arrived at Cowes on Monday, have escaped, had not the Captain hastily proceeded on boars!, the moment he beard of the new order, and withoat hooks, papers, clothes, &c. which were on shore, DE . lE:led his escape in the course of the night. A few days previous ro the 2d, a French frigate, of 3(i gem, provisioned for a voyage of seven months, proceeded from Chetburgh to Brest. There was in the former port a French corvette, carrying sixteen guns, lamely returned hem a cruise she had been to sea for some weeks, and during . her cruise fell is with the homeward•bound East India Fleet. It was this corvette elat hoarded the Lord ladoo Indiaman in Portland 'triads, and was so gallantly repulsed ; she was commanded by the nephew of Gen. 11Ina ea o, who lost hii lite at the wheel of the Lord Eiden, by a sabre blow from Capt. YOCNO, which severed his heed from his body. The Ame rican ship ridorp had been seized at Cherburgh, on account of the Captain having made a false declib ration, and not, as has been repotted, for leaving rum on board. It was necessary before his inward distance could he effetted at the Cmtoru House there, that he should prove he had no goods of British manufaeture on board ; that he had not touched at a British post, and that he had not been detained by a Brstish cruiser. The Captain ac knowledged his detention for five hours by an Eng lish cruiser, and this was deemed sufficient to seal his condemnation.—thcb ere die btat.:l4enta of the Americo Captals. ogler "'1...1"... • •••••• Mesta.
