The article in our Monday's Paper, stating the
arrival of a Dutch schuyt from Rotterdam, with an
account of the alive preparations for the invasion of
this country, and of the arrival there of an order from
Paris, for laying an embargo upon all the Dutch
Ports, was copied, but not correaly, by several of
the Papers of yestevilay. We did not state, that the
embargo had aElually taken place, but that it was
hoerly expefled to be laid on, and that, consequently,
it was with much difficulty the schuyt was suffered
to depart. Had the embargo aetually taken place,
the schuyt would not have dared to break it.

The Hamburgh Mail due on Wednesday, and
two Gottenburgh Mails, arrived yesterday. They
announce every where upon the Continent, the note
and preparation for war. On the f2fith last, the
Swedish artillery at Stocknsolm was ordered to be
ready for immediate servic I. On the 15th, recruit-
ing for the augmentation r. 4 the army commenced
at Vienna ; and, on the t 1 di, the Russian artillery
on the frontiers received orders to hold itself in
readiness, and all militar:r persons absent with
leave were ordered to jo In their respeaive regi-
ments without delay. ins these movements may
be recognised a sympathy between these three
Powers, and one common spirit of resistance to the
ambition and crimes of Dos AAAAA e. Swedish
Pomerania is also stated to have been sold by the
King of Swept:4 to the Emperor of Rossi A. The
supposed objea of this mess ere is to enable Russia
to march her troops into Germany, without
committing either herself or. Sweden in hostilities
with Prussia. It is matter of regret that such
an expedient should be fmun.l necessary. Prussia
may remonstrate, with the san 12 justice, against the
assembling of a Russian arm r in that part of Po-
merania when Russian, as she lately did against the
assembling of a S•ve fish fort :2 in it, when it be-
longed to Sweden. If I lussia has actually

Last night was vite ast 'rm. nor is the Weather
much abed this morning, yet many Ladies bathed.
Earl Ca AV EN has heel cruising all day in his beau-
tiful vessel: he is the only person who has ven-
tured. laird FO 1 EY, after breakfasting with the
Earl o; Bsiiss str/tE, set off for Ctickfield, on his
way to I.Drislon, in his chariot and tam- post horses.
Mr. LATOCC:iE and family, in their post coach and
four, set rfc At two o'clock to-day for East Bourne.
Except in carriages, there is no going out to-day.
I have not heard that His Royal Highness the
Patrice was out to-day, which is very unusual.
The Theatre is very woll atte:l:ed ; they perform
four times a week, to nigh, The Jeniort Matri-
wpm, and the dance or The Drum-head The sea
' bas made such breaches in the East cliff, opposite
the Marine Parade, and Earl CRAVEN'S house, that
it found necessary to build very strong piers to
support "he bank, and make it safe for carriages.
Mr. Mst.t.tsts, and a party with him, go to York
RA( es, which commence the ItJth. He has matched
bis Didier to run for 700 guineas there. Lord Fo-
i.e.v's Beitampas is matched against the PRINCE'S
b. h. o, rile, for 2000 guineas, to run at Newmarket.
Dow ALDSON'S Library is always full.
It is said, there was deep play at R ACV: ETT'S last
night. I know some of the company were there at
seven this morning. The ball at the Castle, on
Monday, is exile lied to be a most brilliant exhibi-
tion of taste and grandeur. Some of our Fashion.
able, are gone to Nottingham Races, which begin
to-morrow. Next week is expeeted to be extremely
ay—and then, it is said, His Royal Highness the
atncawillgo to Weymouth.
