Mr. Sassatoree's resignation of the office of Receiver- General of the Duchy of Cornwall, to Lord LAE e, it seems, is only to be accounted for by his having received a large pecuniary remuneration from his Lordship. To those who know Mr. SfitlIDAN, a eontradittion of such a calumny is unnecessary, to those who do not, we positively assert the insinua tion to be an impudent falsehood.

Bat thus mucb we have autho rity to state, that every point has been sec. dee' to by Government, for which the merchants were at all solicitous. An Circler of Council has been signed. and will shortly be published, to the purport, that all Russian merchant ships that have sailed, or may sail dire& loon the ports of Russia to this country. preyious to the first of January next, will be permitted to discharge their cargoes to then re.pective consignees. and return to sat port, not blockaded, without molestasiou on the plt of British ships of war. . • co Nct Kr.
