The latter, though related to the Bona. pastes, detests, as cordially, Joseph, Lucien, and Louis Bonaparte, as Massena ; but policy cites him to keels upon good terms with Napo li., who, in his turn, sees him without confidence, and employs him from necessity only, not knowing really to whom otherwise to trust the important place of Governor of Paris.

Yesterday, we received Papers from various parts, of America. Those from New-Yot k are of so recent a date as the 2d inst. but contain no news of any importance. The Boston Papers do not come down later than the 26th, but are more interesting. We have extraaed from them some passages, which confirm the report of Admiral Li Notes visit to Ben coolen, and the consequeht injury which the settle ment has sustained. It is also stated, in some of the American Papers, " that a vessel, which sailed from Surinam, about the middle of February, left a British fleet at the mouth of Surinam river with troops. The Admiral had demanded the sur render of the colony ; but the Governor refused to submit to the English, and expressed his determina tion to defend the place as long as possible ; in con sequence of this answer, arrangements were making fer a vigorous attack on the place." No expedition, however, sailed against Surinam so long ago as last February. Barbadoes Letters of the 2d cif April ' mention that it was about to sail in a nay or two. « Since the arrival," say the letters, " of the two regiments in the Cork convoy, the greatest aaivity has prsm.ailed in Carlisle Bay.—An expedition, as formidable as any that has been fitted out here this war, is now in a state of forwardness, and will, with out doubt, set out some time this week ;—its desti nation is kept scent.--Su.-inam is generally supposed to be the objea." We have made some farther extras from the fo reign Journals, received by the last lismburgh Mail. It was rumoured yesterday that a Paris Pa per, of a say recent data, has been received in town, in which the French Government notice the Emperor of Russia's dignified Note to the Diet of Ratisbon—attribute, of course, the project of rekind ling the flames of war upon the Continent to the English, and hint that France, if it be necessary to exert her energies and resources, can carry on war for ten years.

The Eagle. froth Montego bay, Jamaica, was boarded off Florida, by the Echo sloop of war, and had 14 Frenchmen put on board, the Echo having captured a French transport ship from Ilavannah, with 350 troops on board. The French privateers, many of which cruise without commissions, are daily carrying American vessel. into the Ilavannah ; a schooner helot Bing to Philadelphia was carried in, and had taken from her 5,000 dollars in specie. A Ftench national cutter and a privateer sailed from the city of St. Domingo, on the I tith of March, to cruise off the South side of Hispaniola. It is reported, that the Spanish Ambassador and our Government are so much at variance, that the latter has addressed the Court of Spin, desiring the recal of the Marquis. It is also said, that some disagreement exists among the Members of our Government; and that two or three resignations are expelled. Captain Pearson, who is arrived at Norfolk in 1 5 days from Ithrtinique, states, that an attack upon that island WAS expeded to be made, by the British, the day after he sailed ; and that Admiral Duck worth, with an additional reinforcement of ships and troops, had arrived at Barbadoes. Recent accounts from New Orleans state, that but little progress was making in filling up the shares in the Louisiana Bank; only 1500 having tem vatF scribed for.
