marching to occupy it. We this. day lay before our Readers a Copy of the Order issued by hiS . PrUssian. Majesty for excluding British Ships and Merchanclize from Prussian PortS• ft certainly would have been very difficult. td flounce an hostile measure in more mild and gentle language. Any British Ship that iriay happen :to enter a Prussian Port is not to be • seized, but is to -be ,ordered to put back again ; and this extraord►nary measure has been adopted, it is stated, in conse .quence of a Treaty with France. WE yesterdcw stopped thc Press to announce the arrivi of ihnerican Paper* to the '23d of February. .The _violent, or rather the French Party in America, have 'not succeeded in their objeet of producing a -Tupture with Great-Britain ; and there is still 'reason 'to hope that the differences sub.isting between the , two Countries may. be adjusted without an appeal to hesword.. The following Resolution was proposed in the Senate of the 'United States : ReS'olve4, That the President of the United Stater be .requested !!`_to demand and insist . upon the restoration - of ..the Property of their Citizens, "cap .tared and condemned on the pretext of it& being employed` in a Trade with the. Enemies of Great Britain, prohibited in time of .Feace, and upon the indemnification of sneli Arherican Ci tizens for' their lases and dairiages sustained by these captures and Condemnations;" and taenter into such .arrangements with the British Government, on this and all other differences subsisting between the two nations (arid particularly respeaing the impressment of American Seamen), as may be consistent with - ; the honour and interest of the 'United States, Lice. 41 Motion was imade to re-commit this Resolu tion, which was lost by a majority of one, the num bers being 15 for the Motion and 16 against it. A Motion was then made to strike out the words in enverted comma's, which was negatived ,by 16 to 13. • It was then moved to omit the wards " and in foist," which was agreed- tn. The Resolution so mended was carried by 23 to 7.

Miss DE Cma.,_acoording to report, is to relin quish her situation at Drury-lane Theatre at the close of the present season. We are, however, glad to find, that this agreeable Performer will not be lost to the Publie, as'she 11as entered into an en ' gagement with the'COvent-Garden Managers. The reason assigned- for hey separation from. Drury-lane Theatre is, that STO44ACI , Er and Miss DUNCAN have "'been " suffered to intrench upon what has' been technically called her line - of cliataa - ers : a reason to which, however, little credit can be given, as those Performers certainly do not possess merits suf . - * ficicin .to atOue for the loss of so able an Aetress as •. • Magfer , WOri/ WDs to have performed Hamlet last • -•• night'*a(cOvCni-Garden Theatre, but Was prevented by indisposition. ••• Play of The chances was sUbstituted..

There are several mysterious stories in circulation respeding the late wretched culprit ; and the ten dency of them 'all is to excite a belief, that others were concerned with him in his horrid crime. It is stated that he wrote a letter on ;Vlgnday last, which is said to be addressed to the person.or persons whom hp accused of having been his associates in guilt. This letter he entrusted to his sister, and it was found on her in consequence of the vigilant and commendable .observation of Mr. CnvE, the chief Turnkey of the Prison. The letter is so lorig as .to fill a large sheet of paper. 4.ccording tp other reports, it .was written on Friday last, at a time • when, , of : course, he ,was __not . likely to commit any thing to paper that would in the least degree tend to strengthen the suspicion of his guilt, as he uniformly asserted his innocence, and appa. rently did not think the trial would be decisive against him. The Letter was in the possession of Mr.lvEs, the. Keeper, who did not . intbrm Parca that it had reached his hand - till the Monday even ing. When PATCH received this information, he • appeared to be very much agitated. Bpt it .is nat probable that it contained any. confession of guilt if written on_F.riday, for this additional_ reason,, since in that case Mr. IvE s. would have felt it to he his duty to submit it to the proper authorities betore the trial took place. It is also confidently stated, that this Letter was not written till Sunday last, whel l PATCH must have relinquished all hope of pardon, and might think of appeasing the agonies of,,con scicnce.by an explicit acknowledgat Qf th e 17 , ...mu5t again commend Mr.•lvEs for his discre tion in this mysterious business, .assailed as he was by the urgent curiosity not.onty of multaudes, but by persons of the first distinction. All the acknowledgment which PATCH made to Mr.'lvEs, and which the latter has thought proper to disclose is, that the stockings, which afforded so strong a presumption against him belonged to him, and that the report of the pistol and the slam ming of the door did not occur at the- same mo ment; two very important acknowledgments, if'it were possible, under all the circumstances of the case, to entertain the least doubt of his 'delin .quency. Several other letters-were written by PATCH besides that discovered in the p o s se ssi on Of -his:sis ter, but they have either not been dete6ted, or they contain nothing important to the main point. The . letter-which- has naturally excited so .mach attention is still in the possession of Mr. IvES, and a Privy Council, as we yesterday stated, will decide upon its contents. ' Bad as . that mind must be which could be guilty of deliberate murder, combined with' the basest in gratitude, there arc still extremes that limit the vil lainy of man, and as Patch manifested symptoms of penitence in his last moments, it is hardly to be sup posed that be would be so wicked as to leave 'the world without retra&ing a false charge, if he had made one, by which innocence would be exposed to the infamy and punishment due to guilt. , - The subje& altogether has excited so much agi:- tation, as well as curiosity in, the public mind, that there can be no doubt but the contents of the letter in question will be submitted to th - e - world at large, as well to justify or confirm the suspicions which have been raised by that and the "various reports in, circulation, as for the more important concerns of truth and justice. Early yesterday morning three Gentlemen arrived .in town from Hamhargh, by way of Harwich, One of whom is supposed ..to be a Prussian Aiesseng6r, Soon after their arrival ; one of the Gentlemen, it is said; waited on Air.
