We are still blocltaded by the enemy ; in the
meanwhile they work night and day in our arstnar,
at equ•pping a ti 'tan, which will be more than
sufficient to drive away the enemy's sbips; as seen
as the Russians shall have eva:usted Cattaro, Cotfu,

A Sunday Paper c utains the follovring article :
" A neutral snip, bound from Flushing to Ti ,ston,
passed through t't: D ,wns o s Sa:urday morning,
and landed an American Gentleman at Dover.
This Gentleman 'aroni,,lit no papers, but our Cor-
respondent, who convcr. .1 with him, informs us,
that he gives the following account of a most inl-
porta.it article in the Moni:rer of the 24th, which
he p.ritsed before be sailed, viz.
" That the Session of the Fr-neh Legislative
Body terminated on the 21st, or '22i ; a t t that' bo
this occasion a pompous speed. r L.rpo‘e. on the
situation of the French Empire, was delivered by
one of the Orators of the Government. in which it
was stated that BONA PART\ had made Pacific
Overtures to this country, but that they were re-.
jelled by the British Government, on the grottni of
their being inadmissible.
" The remainder of the Expose, we understand,
consists of a highly-coloured description of the state
of France with regard to her internal pmsperity,
and the influence of her foreign relations. The
flonrishing state of the Finances, and the organiza-
tion of the new Bank. are dwelt on in terms of
great exultation. 'The peroration is in the usual
stile of French bombast and adulation: It.consists
of a fulsome panegyric on the magnanimity and
moderation of N AVOLaos, to whom all human vir-
tues are attributed.
Oct Sunday last it was understood at Antwerp,
that BON•rARTE and his brother Louis had strived'
at Brussels, whence the latter was to proceed to
Holland. A French proclamation, declaring Lot. is
King of Batavia, was then in circulation."
Upon the above article. we have only to observe,
that the Session of the Legislative Body plosed. so
far back as the 12th of May.—The ceremony of
presenting to the Legislative Body the colours taken
at Austerlitz, and in Naples, took place the preceding
day ; and M. Jouster, the Orator of Government,
made a very long speech. But the extra given of
it in the kriert Gazette of the 20th, does not contain
any Message to the effeet of that stated in the Sun-
day paper.

The Hamburgh Mail. due on Wednesday, ar-
rived on Saturday, with letters and papers to the
24th ult.—lt is stated in the Hansbuqb Comes-
placate'', under the head of Vienna, Nlay 14tb, that
the Russian Ambassador at that Curt had received
advises from St. Petersburgh, intJrming him, that
the Emperor ALEXANDfit bad consented to restore
Cattalo to Austria, to be by her delivered up to the
French, and that an order for the purpose was im-
