Tavern Lease for Sale.
THE subscriber being about to remove to the Indian Queen Tavern, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight years, from the first of December next, to run; which for convenience, it is believed, is excelled by none in the United States, and from the proximity to the seat of government, and the direct communication which will be opened between the city and Alexandria by the bridge across the Potomac and the Turnpike Road, bids fair to become one of the best stands for business in the country, as the distance to the Capitol over the bridge will be only about 7 miles. With the Lease will be sold, if wanted, the whole of the FURNITURE, as it now stands, together with a large stock of WINES & LIQUORS, There is a vacant Lot on the corner of Cameron and Pitt-streets, adjoining the stables, attached to the House, (which renders it particularly commodious, as by that means the property fronts on three streets) which will be sold in fee simple, or leased for the remainder of the time.
A handsome LOT of GROUND, in the centre of the square between King and Cameron streets, and fronting on Washington and Columbus streets, 107 feet, with a public alley on one side, and an open space that cannot be built on, on the other. For a public situation it is unequalled by any property in Alexandria.
ALSO, A LOT OF GROUND, at the west end, about half a mile from town and fronting on the Little River Turnpike Road, 85 feet, running back 250 feet, more or less. There are improvements on the property adjoining it, on each side.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, on the George-Town road, about half a mile from town, in a very beautiful situation, containing two acres.
A handsome SQUARE OF GROUND, on Washington and Columbus streets, within one quarter of a mile of town, well enclosed with a post and rail fence, containing something less than two acres.
A half acre LOT on the commons, about the same distance as the last mentioned.
ALSO, My interest in the lease of a FARM, containing between one and two hundred acres, adjoining the town of Alexandria, in a high state of cultivation, and enclosed with a new post and rail fence. (in one of the enclosures is the Alexandria Jockey Club Race Course) with a large crop of OATS and HAY, which will be sold in the stack or otherwise;—two wagons, four carts, eight ploughs, two double barrows, a large and elegant roller, all of the best construction, six good farm horses and every other article that can be wanted for a well managed farm, together with 12 choice milch COWS, a fine buffalo BULL, forty head of SHEEP, about fifty head of HOGS of the very best breed that could be procured. Also, some very VALUABLE SLAVES, if they should be wanted for the farm.
ALSO, The two lines of STAGES between George Town and Alexandria, with a light HACK & four HORSES.
NOTICE.
All persons having claims against me are requested to bring them forward for settlement; and all persons indebted are desired to make immediate payment, as no longer indulgence can be given, my intended removal rendering it necessary that a full adjustment of all accounts should take place.

The Stages South of Alexandria.
ON the first of October next the Mail Stage will commence running as follows between Alexandria and Petersburg in Virginia:
Will leave Alexandria every day at 6 o'clock in the evening, and arrive at Dumfries by 5 in the morning—Leave Dumfries at 6 and arrive at Fredericksburg by 11 1-2 in the morning—Leave Fredericksburg at 12 (noon) and arrive at Richmond the next morning by 6—Leave Richmond at 6 1-2 and arrive at Petersburg by 11 1-2 in the morning.
Returning, will leave Petersburg every day at 12 1-2 P. M. and arrive at Alexandria in the same time. This stage will carry no more than 2 passengers on any account whatever, and not more than 14 lb. of baggage can be allowed to each passenger.
An Accommodation Stage between Alexandria and Petersburg will also commence running at the same time, every other day throughout the year, without regard to Sundays, and will travel only in the day time. On this line it is the intention of the owners to study the wishes and the convenience of passengers. Still, however, regard must be had to time—Going south from Alexandria they will breakfast at Occoquan, dine at Stafford court-house, and lodge at Fredericksburg—The next day will breakfast at the Bowling Green, dine at the Oaks, and lodge at Richmond. And on the third day will breakfast at the Half-Way house and dine at Petersburg.
Returning, will dine at the Half-Way house and lodge at Richmond. Early in the morning, breakfast at the Oaks, dine at the Bowling Green, and lodge at Fredericksburg. Next morning, will breakfast at Stafford court-house, dine at Occoquan, and lodge at Alexandria.
The owners on this line too, have to request that passengers will be as moderate as possible in the quantity of their baggage, as any thing more than a small trunk or parcel which will go within the body of the stage will be an extra charge.

HAD the motive, for imposing on this country a perpetual embargo, really been the preservation of our ships, our merchandise, and our seamen, all of which are in truth destroyed by it, this baneful measure would have been limited in its operation on those objects. There could have been no inducement to render the evil more extensive, by unnecessarily adding to the oppression of the mass of the people.
Had it been true, that the Orders of Council and the Berlin Decree really produced this mischief-bearing act, the Legislature would have been content with guarding against those Orders and that Decree. They would not wantonly have annihilated that great stimulus to industry, the market afforded by foreign countries for its produce.
By applying the embargo to American vessels and to cargoes belonging to American citizens, those objects would be protected. Under the operation of such a law, as well as under the operation of the actual law, American external commerce, carried on in their own bottoms, would have been cut up by the roots. American vessels would have exchanged the chance of being captured at sea, for the certainty of rotting in our own waters, and American produce, either in the hands of the merchants or of the people, must have found its market at home. The difference consists in this. The home market would be a better market. More buyers would appear in it. We should still supply the foreign demand. We should be driven into that policy, which our present rulers have always so much favored—we should have been compelled to withdraw from the ocean, and to confine ourselves to ploughing the land. Yet the produce of our labor would have found its way to foreign markets in foreign bottoms; and, although its price would have been diminished, it would not have sunk to its present distressing state of depression.
I do not pretend to say, that the embargo, thus modified, would be a proper measure. Far from it. In any form, unless as a mere temporary expedient, to give time for reflection, and to impress on our merchants, the seriousness of the danger, I think it most ill-judged most ruinous. But I think also, that this modified, it would be less ill-judged and less ruinous than in its present all desolating form. Most seriously I do deprecate the idea of cutting off its transportation entirely, and leaving it to perish on our hands, or to be sacrificed to those, who must be compensated by immense profits, for the risk attending an illicit trade. Deeply should I regret the ruin into which American ship owners would be plunged by this regulation; but it is no alleviation of that ruin, to find the great body of the American people participating in it. No wise statesman will ever recommend a measure, which shall wound the interests of our merchants; but compelled to choose between a measure which is indeed injurious to the commercial interests, and one which is not only in a still higher degree injurious to that interest, but which involves the agricultural also in the same ruin, he cannot hesitate to embrace the latter branch of the alternative.
Whatever difficulties this alternative might present to a man, who cherished ancient opinions on the subject, it could be expected to present none to those who avow the fantastic notions, which have long been fashionable with the ruling party. Men who think commerce not a real good, but an evil which the difficulty of breaking ancient habits and prejudices, compels them to tolerate—who think that by the cultivation of the soil alone, unaided by navigation, the true interests of the country would be best consulted, could not be expected to hesitate between a measure taken in a form to promote both commerce and agriculture, and taken under such a modification as to preserve agriculture from the ruin to which commerce is doomed. When we find ourselves disappointed in this expectation, we look to some extrinsic cause for the solution of the difficulty.
Two reasons are publicly assigned. The first is, that a total embargo will force the belligerent powers to change the system they have adopted; the second, that an embargo on American vessels alone, would
have given our whole commerce to England.
Let these reasons be examined. It has been already shown, that this measure could not have been taken with a view to force a repeal of the orders of council; for their existence was at the time unknown. It also deserves consideration, that these orders not having been taken as a measure of coercion against neutrals, but as a belligerent retaliating measure upon France, it is improbable, that their repeal can precede the repeal of that decree on which they are professedly founded. This yielding on the part of England, would be an acknowledgment of her inability to contend with France, in this species of warfare, and would leave the latter power at full liberty to exercise her usurped control over neutral commerce, in such manner as might most sensibly wound Great Britain, unrestrained by the apprehension, that the same weapon might be turned against herself. But however this argument might be disregarded by our rulers, who, from the year 1796, have been anxious to try their strength in commercial warfare with England, the first is conclusive on the point. The embargo could not have been extended, to the total deprivation of all commerce, in order to obtain a repeal of orders, not known at the time to be in existence. It might be so extended for the purpose of forcing a surrender of other principles, but not of this.
Neither can its extension be ascribed to a hope, that it would compel Bonaparte to rescind the Berlin decree. Our rulers will never attempt to act openly and directly on his fears. Such a system would contradict all their opinions respecting him. But if they had proposed so to act, the modification suggested would have been more operative than the measure in its present form. He would have perceived in it the counteraction instead of the support of his favorite system of warfare on British commerce.
Discarding the first reason, then, as having been obviously inoperative, let us proceed to the second. It is, that congress was restrained from modifying the embargo, in such a manner as to effect its avowed object, without ruining the cultivators of the soil, by the fear that such a modification, while it diminished the pressure on ourselves, would also benefit England, and consequently be offensive to France.
Ought our conduct to be so influenced by such a motive?
It will be readily conceded, that the modification proposed would have the effect suggested, and that a neutral nation, in the general, cannot safely frame such commercial regulations, as will benefit one of two belligerents and injure the other. If the regulation be made without a sufficient motive of its own, and with a view to its effect on the belligerents, it becomes an obvious departure from neutrality, and a measure of hostility. But if the regulation is dictated by plain and important national interests; if it is framed with an obvious view to the state of the country, and affects belligerents incidentally. Consequently, it ceases to be a departure from neutrality, and to furnish just cause of offence.
Of this latter description would be the modification in question. If the injustice of belligerent powers, especially of France, with whom the system originates, compels us to relinquish the transportation in our own bottoms, of the produce of our industry, we are obviously driven to the necessity of selling that produce to those who will come to our own market to purchase it. That the home market is left open to every competitor, is a measure apparently dictated by our substantial interests. It is not adopted with a view to its effect upon belligerents, but to its effect upon ourselves. If one belligerent is in a situation to come to that market, with more facility than the other, this casual advantage arises from causes not produced by us, and gives no right to the party, who finds himself unable to reach our market, to say, that it shall, on that account, be closed against all the world. No nation has a right to say, that because she cannot purchase from us, we shall sell to nobody; or that to promote her comparative interests, with a rival, she wishes to destroy, we must sacrifice our own. This is a demand which no nation ought to make, and to which no nation ought to submit. It involves the claim of sovereignty on the part of the nation making the demand, and betrays the dependence of the nation submitting to it.
This reason, then, which is openly and publicly assigned by the friends of the administration, for that augmentation of distress, which is produced by the extension of the embargo to foreign vessels, is the most conclusive evidence, which can be presented to the mind, of our inveterate hate to England, and of our fatal submission to France. Rather than not indulge that hate, we inflict
the most serious injuries on ourselves; and rather than risk giving offence to France, by a measure not offensive in its nature, with which she has not a right to be offended, we submit to the most distressing privations, that rank hostility to our prosperity could have dictated.
This pernicious extension too furnishes additional proof that the real motives of the embargo have not been publicly assigned.
SENEX.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, September 14.
European Advices.
The ship Susan, captain Delano, arrived at this port yesterday in 48 days passage from Liverpool. From captain Delano the editors of the New York Gazette have received London papers to the 25th of July—thirteen days later than by former arrivals. The following interesting articles are extracted from them. Further details in our next.
The following is an extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated the 23d of July:
"The St. Michaels is at last arrived from France; and a report being circulated that the French decrees against your commerce were to be rescinded immediately, has given our market a complete stagnation, it being understood that our ministry are pledged to take off the orders in council as soon as the French decrees are at an end. Nothing official has yet been published, but the Sun, government paper, has given a hint that such an event may occur."
LONDON, July 11—17.
Yesterday we received, exclusively the Dutch papers of Wednesday last, and the Pressburgh Gazettes to the 27th ult. Their contents are of considerable importance. They announce that the courts of Petersburg and Vienna had united in an endeavor to restrain the usurpations of Bonaparte, and particularly to request from him a revocation of his orders in regard to the Ecclesiastical states, for which purpose they have sent special ambassadors to Paris. Austria is arming, to give weight to her remonstrances, and to resist the indignities and insult France has offered her; and we are taught to believe that Russia, although probably not prepared to press her discussions to a rupture with Bonaparte, is alarmed by his conduct, and is seriously impressed with the necessity of opposing some restraint to his ambition.
Bonaparte, notwithstanding the urgency of his affairs in Spain, has been obliged to order part of the troops marching thither, particularly some regiments from Angereau's division, to Italy, where their presence has been rendered necessary, by an almost universal disposition for insurrection.
The military exertions of Austria are of a nature that clearly indicate the alarm and jealousy which the conduct of Bonaparte has excited in her councils, and at least prove that she is not insensible to the danger of her situation, if they do not go the length to manifest a disposition to resist the further progress of his usurpations.
The measures now in execution in the Austrian dominions are of a two-fold nature—the one for organising a national LEVEE EN MASSE by calling out the entire male population of the country capable of bearing arms; and the other for establishing by ballot, an army of reserve of 32 battalions, or 86,800 men, to be exercised at given periods, and to recruit the regiments of the line. These arrangements were executed with such promptitude, that the contribution of Vienna to the army of reserve, amounting to 750 men, was raised in a week.
The government has declared these measures to be purely intended for the defence of the Empire; but a variety of circumstances connected with them, so strongly indicated an approaching rupture with France at the dates of the last accounts, that the Austrian treasury bills had experienced a considerable depreciation, and numerous speculations had been engaged in, in anticipation of a war.
The French ambassador, Andreossy, had remonstrated on the subject of this armament, and delivered a letter written by Napoleon, from Bayonne, in which the latter declared his surprise and regret that Austria should engage in so extensive a system of preparation, at a period too, when the situation of the continent neither called for nor justified such armament. The Austrian Emperor answered, that a period of general tranquillity was alone the time for arrangements, the sole object of which was the preservation of peace, and without essentially weakening his military establishment, to introduce into it a necessary system of economy by the substitution of a less expensive description of force than the present.
The following proclamation was at the same time issued on the subject.
"We, Francis I, by the Grace of God, Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary, Bohemia, Galicia, and Lodomeria, &c. &c. Archduke of Austria, &c."
"We have discovered to our beloved subjects, in our Letters Patent of the 12th ult. one design attending the organization of the reserves, namely, the defence of the monarchy, which is to be founded on such means as to afford us the possibility of facilitating the finances of state by a reduction of the regular army."
"In this design, we have found it good, to organize a national levy in a mass, tending to defend the country."
"We do, for this end, choose a period when we are in friendly relation with all the powers of the continent—for only then, if such measures are ripely adopted, and cemented by time, can success be expected from them, in case they should become needful."
"To execute these measures, we have appointed plenipotentiaries, whose knowledge, zeal and attachment to our person and state, have been repeatedly tried, viz: For Austria, Carniola, Carinthia, Styria, Triest, and Saltsburgh, our Aulic commissioner Count Von Saurau."
"For Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia, our serene cousin, his Royal Highness the Archduke Ferdinand, with our Upper Burggrave Van Wallis and Governor Count Lezansky."
"For lower Austria and Austria on the Ems, our serene Cousin, his royal highness the Archduke Maximilian, with the President Count Von Bissingen, and Baron Von Hackelberg."
"For Galacia, our general of Cavalry, Count Von Bellegarde, and the Vice President of government, Count Von Wurmser. They have received definitive instruction, and will take the other requisite measures accordingly."
"We expect our beloved subjects, who have always shown in a most laudable manner their unshaken devotion and fidelity towards us, will acknowledge in that regulation, the full measure of our paternal designs, and assist to carry them into effect with all their might, as a measure inseparable from their welfare. The activity and prudence displayed in this business shall obtain our special approbation, and recommend those who shall laudably distinguish themselves in this particular."
"Given in our capital and place of residence, Vienna, June 6th, in the year 1808, and of our reign, the eighth year."
FRANCIS.
"ALOYS, count Von Ugarte, first chancellor."
"JOSEPH, baron Von der Mark."
"JOSEPH CHARLES, count of Diedrichstein."
"JOSEPH, baron Von Kichmanusggy."
The recent events in Spain have been published in the Vienna Court Gazette without comment, and chiefly extracted from the French Journals. Immediately on the receipt of the intelligence of the deposition of the Spanish monarch, baron Binder Von Kriegenstein was sent from Vienna with important despatches to Petersburg.
Austria and Russia have in conjunction sent ministers to Paris, to remonstrate against the seizure of the Ecclesiastical States. Baron Vincent is employed by the former, and prince Wolonsky by the emperor Alexander.
Bonaparte, under the embarrassment of his affairs in Spain, proposed to Prussia to withdraw a portion of his troops from thence, provided the king acceded to the confederation of the Rhine, and assembled on the coast of the Baltic a force competent to its defence. With some modification the proposal has been accepted, and some corps of Prussians are in motion; but the French have not given up any of the fortresses, and the orders continued on the 30th ultimo, for the formation of the French camps near Havelberg, at Ruppim, and at Charlottenburg.
The army of general Angereau has been dissolved, and marched in detached parties from Germany to Spain. The Polish army under the prince Poniatowsky, has received the same route, and the prefects of the departments have been ordered, by every possible means, to expedite their journey.
The division of Davoust, which was intended for the invasion of India, has for the greater part been ordered to Spain. Some strong corps are also marching to Italy, where an insurrection or invasion is expected.
The French have evacuated the Duchies of Mecklenburg; and the native troops under colonel Vonnin, have occupied the coast, etc. The French who were at Rostock, Wismar, etc. are, it is said, to be encamped at Sulz, but the greater part, as also part of the troops in Pomerania, have broken up for Strasburg, on their route to Spain.

From an Irish paper printed in 1797.
In two years and about six months last past, the French have gained 216 victories, including 41 pitched battles.
Killed, 152,600 men of enemy.
Taken, 197,784 prisoners.
238 strong places.
619 forts, camps and red-bts.
7,963 pieces of cannon.
186,762 muskets.
4,388,150 pounds of powder.
207 standards.
5,486 horses, &c.
All this was done in a 'regular' way! If to this destruction should be added, the irregular exactions and depredations of the army, what would be the grand total of misery?

defray a third part of the expences of the Polish army, but by a recent decree communicated by Marshal Davoust, he has taken on himself its entire maintenance, and has ordered every possible means to be used for its augmentation.
The emperor Francis has ordered the town of Commora, in Hungary, to be fortified, and has appropriated several millions of florins to the service.
The Guards of the Royal Family of Spain consist wholly of Gens d'Armes: Napoleon finding that the war in Spain requires the presence of every soldier he can collect.
French Naval officers have been sent to all the ports of the Baltic, for the purpose of engaging German and Polish Volunteers for the French Navy. One of these officers, at Stet tin, a M. Lierson, in an advertisement circulated in the neighbourhood, invites the seamen of that district to join the emperor Napoleon in the project he has undertaken of sending to the bottom of the ocean, the proud islanders who have so long tyrannised on the surface of it.

O'neer Office, Sunday Evening.
A Spanish Patriotic Officer arrived at the office of Mr. Canning at six o'clock this morning. We understand he had brought dispatches direct from the Junta at Seville. Mr. Oates, an English gentleman in the commissarial department, accompanied him, who is said to be the bearer of advices from Sir H. Dalrymple, off Gibraltar.
An interview was immediately had with Mr. Canning, and a Cabinet Council was about to be summoned—We are assured that a confirmation of the defeat of the French army under Lefebvre, at Saragossa, has been brought by the above gentleman.

A letter from Gottenburgh of the 15th, reiterates the report that a war between Russia and France is on the eve of taking place. Nothing further had occurred in Norway or Finland.
All the transports that remained in the Downs, sailed from thence for Portsmouth, on Friday evening. The expedition is expected to sail from Spithead this day.
Hemp, tallow, and most articles of Russian produce, experienced a considerable reduction in price during the last week, under a general impression that our commercial relations with that country will shortly be restored.
The expedition under Sir J. Moore arrived at Spithead on Wednesday. It will be victualled with the utmost activity, and proceed almost immediately to the southward.
The whole of Sir John Moor's staff have not returned with him. When this distinguished officer effected his masterly retreat from Stockholm, he was unfortunately under the necessity of leaving Col. Graham and Major Colbourne, his aid-de-camp and military secretary, behind.
Private letters received from Holland, confirm the report of the disgrace of Talleyrand. Bonaparte has not absolutely put him in prison, but he has given him an employment which renders him little better than a prisoner. He is entrusted with the care of the late king and queen of Spain, and as they are confined to a limited space, their goaler is under the same restrictions.
It is said that the St. Michael, which had just arrived from L'Orient, with dispatches for Mr. Pinckney, has brought information that Bonaparte will recognise the neutrality, and place the commerce of the U. States on the same footing in which it stood before the late restrictions, provided Great Britain will consent to do the same. If this be true, Bonaparte consents to repeal his Milan and Hamburgh decrees against commerce. This country, therefore, will not object to abandon those measures which we adopted in consequence of his decrees.
A gentleman lately come from Paris states, that before his departure the last battalion of the Imperial Guards had left that capital for Spain, and all accounts agree in representing the whole of his disposal force as proceeding towards the Pyrenees.
The American ship St. Michael, from L'Orient, is arrived at Falmouth, with dispatches from the American government to Mr. Pinckney. She sailed from L'Orient on the 7th July instant; the captain is in town: he was at Paris four days before he sailed for England. He states, delicately, that the openly expressed opinions of the people were by no means favorable to Bonaparte; and that he passed through large bodies of French troops on their march to Spain.

They arrived at Dock late on Monday evening, under salute of 15 guns, and set off about 9 o'clock for town, where they now are. These distinguished stangers are the bearers of dispatches from their government, and proposals for the accommodation of all differences between England and Turkey.
The army of 5000 men, now embarking in Kent, will meet the 10,000 men, now under Sir John Moore at Spithead, and is to be joined by the 12,000 men under Major-General Sir Arthur Wellesley. Gen. Spencer has 5000 at Ayamonte; making in all 32,000 men, which are to be sent to assist the Spanish Patriots.
LONDON, July 17—24.
Yesterday Government received advice from St. Andero, dated on Sunday last, by the Cadmus sloop of war, arrived at Plymouth, where the Betsy, Hooper, also arrived from Bilboa, with intelligence to the 14th inst. The substance of these accounts were in the afternoon communicated in the Official circles by the following note:
DOWNING STREET, Saturday evening. Captain Winter of the Cadmus, who reached the Admiralty this morning from St. Andero has brought advices of the evacuation of that city by the French troops, who finding themselves unequal to sustain a threatened attack from the patriotic forces under the direction of General Ponti (who had advanced to Santillana) had, after plundering the town of a large sum of money and destroying all the arms in it, escaped during the night of the 12th towards Lierganes, on their route to Bilboa. Gen. Ponti, apprised of their movements, followed with a corps of 4000 light troops, mostly regulars, and it was hoped would overtake them.
The accounts from Bilboa state, that Joseph Bonaparte has at length entered Spain—he was crowned King at St. Sebastian's on the 9th. The American captain states, that the most gloomy silence prevailed during the ceremony. From St. Sebastian's he proceeded to Tolosa, and thence by Mudragon to Victoria, where he was again proclaimed on the 10th and intended to have prosecuted his route to Burgos; advices from marshal Bessieres had however induced him to delay his departure, and he remained at Victoria on the 11th.
Marshal Bessieres had on the 12th assembled a body of about 18,000 men, including some Polish regiments, and was stationed between Bilboa and Marquina. The Asturian army amounted to 44,000 men, including the division of gen. Ponti, and had at the above date entered Castile, for the purpose of giving battle to the enemy."
In addition to the above we are enabled by letters from Plymouth to state, that the army of Leon moved in concert with the Asturians, and after driving a small French force from Benevento and Toro, had arrived at Modena del Rio Soco for the purpose of expelling from Valladolid a variety of small corps which had united there. Gen. Cuesta had occupied Placentia under gen. Egieia with a corps of 12,000, with a view to cut off their retreat to Burgos—his head quarters were at Moro on the 10th, and it was supposed he would attack the French column at Burgos at the same time that the Asturians encountered marshal Bessieres.
Napoleon accompanied his brother Joseph to Andaye, the latter was received at Irun by a body of Italian troops, who escorted him to St. Sebastian.
Captain Hooper says, when he left Bilboa, the different columns of French troops at Bilboa, Burgois, Pampeluna and Victoria were stated to exceed 50,000 men.
French camps had been marched out near Leuthen, Lieguiz, and Brieg in Silesia, but the troops which were to have occupied them, have been ordered by forced marches to Spain.
Yesterday we were so fortunate as again to receive exclusively the Dutch Journals of the 19th, and a letter from Heligoland of the 15th. The intelligence is of some interest, and in a material degree corroborates the statements brought by the Swedish mail of yesterday, of an approaching rupture between Russia and France.
The Nachrichten states, on the authority of travellers from Poland, that numerous corps of French troops are collecting on the Russian frontiers, supposed to be intended for the expedition to India.
Flushing, although incorporated with France is by a recent decree of Bonaparte, to be considered in regard to its commercial intercourse as a foreign city, and all its imports and exports are subjected to the same regulations as if they had a foreign destination.
Letters from the Mein state, that great numbers of French and Italian troops continued daily to pass thro Frankfort, &c. on their route to Spain.
Bonaparte some time since, by a convention with the King of Saxony, undertook to
The French are strengthening the fortifications of Magdeburg, and supplying it with immense stores from Mentz.
The Russians, with a view to the further defence of Cronstadt, have sunk several vessels in the approaches to it. They have assembled a corps of 25,000 men at Revel, supposed to be destined for an expedition against Sweden, and have covered the coasts of Esthonia, Livonia, &c. with troops, to guard against a descent by the English.
A report is prevalent on the continent, and has excited great sensation in Holland, that Bonaparte had announced his purpose of removing his brother Louis to Naples, and of annexing the Dutch provinces to France. The statement has acquired increased credit from an order issued in the Dutch army, for the dismissal of all officers who are not natives of Holland.
We have good authority for stating that the visit of the king of Sweden to Finland, was merely to encourage his troops by his presence, in the arduous and glorious campaign they are engaged in. The reports that this excursion had for its object an interview with the emperor Alexander, is obviously erroneous, because it was known at Stockholm, previous to his majesty's departure, that the emperor in consequence of the unsuccessful progress of the war, had postponed his visit to Finland; another report that his majesty sought peace with Russia, in consequence of the departure of sir J. Moore, is also unfounded; because at the time Gustavus left Stockholm, he was uninformed of the departure of the General, but believing him to be still there, left orders for his being detained until he returned from the army. It is a singular fact that sir John's flight from Stockholm was not known there until three days after, his non-appearance in public being imputed to pique at the reception he had experienced. Sir John, on his arrival on board the Victory, is said to have observed to sir J. Sanmarcz, that he had escaped from prison and a madman. The King on the other hand, repeatedly declared that "this man (alluding to sir J. Moore) tawarts me in every thing;" but no sentiment is imputed to him expressive of hostility towards this country, or to justify the report of his majesty meditating a line of politics derogatory to the high character he has obtained.
The king of Sweden, it is stated, wished that the corn taken in the ten Danish vessels at Fledstand, should be landed at Gottenburgh, and offered to purchase it for the use of his army on the frontiers of Norway. It was, however, considered to be necessary to send the vessels to this country for condemnation, and the king not admitting such necessity to exist, expressed himself in angry terms on the occasion. Such, at least, is the statement of the Amsterdam and Hamburg papers.
The expedition, under the orders of Sir J. Moore, is appointed to proceed to the Downs, instead of rendezvousing at Yarmouth as had been intended—one of the transports marked C. I. arrived in Yarmouth Roads on Friday evening.
Yesterday it was confidently stated in the military circles, that Lord Chatham is to be Commander in Chief of the expedition now embarking, and not the Duke of York, and that his Lordship's horses are to leave town on Monday for embarkation.
Yesterday dispatches were received from Sir G. Prevost, at Halifax; as also, from Mr. Erskine at Washington, by the Queen Charlotte packet, arrived at Falmouth. The Mails brought by this conveyance, which have been detained at Falmouth, for the purpose of being fumigated, are dated from New York the 10th June, and Halifax the 20th. We do not understand that any news of interest has been received by this arrival. The embargo continued in the American ports, and the elections in the different states are stated to have given a majority in both Houses to the federalists. It is reported that Col. Burr came passenger in the Queen Charlotte, and is the bearer of some dispatches or propositions to our government.
Private letters and even papers from Gottenburgh, talk of a curious and unexplained misunderstanding between the king of Sweden and Sir J. Moore. One account states it to have proceeded from the gallant officers having listened to the representations of the Norwegians to have their neutrality guaranteed by England, and to be made independent both of Denmark and Sweden, another account states that the misunderstanding arose from a demand of the King of Sweden to have the British force put into his own command, to regain Finland, although no magazines had been prepared for their maintenance, to which Sir John refused his acquiescence. All accounts, however, agree in this, that Sir John was at one time under arrest, and some even maintain that he left Stockholm in disguise.
The embassy from the Ottoman Porte arrived in this country, consists of two envoys,
