LONDON,
FRIDAY, DEclvci■ 11.

We have received Hamburgh Papers to the 29th
last, from which we have made several extrafts.—
There is something very mysterious in &NA..
!AM.'S departure from Paris. .1-1 c left that
city inccgitifo, and report has assigned Italy as
the object of his journey. • In support of this spe-
culation, an article dated Manta, states, that a great
number of troops• have been gradually marched
into Italy, principally into the Neapolitan territo-
ry, for the purpose of making a descent upon Sicily.
But the same article adds, that preparations are
making with equal activity en the side of Bayonne.
BONATA WTE has bees traced in his journey as far
as Dijon; and we think it very probable that Spain,
and not Italy, is the real objeift of his journey.

Ti:e Pogiosa and the liaderrood are arrived in the
Humber. They sailed from Helsingburg on the
:nth ult., and paried from the following vessels on
the Ist instant, viz.—
The Manchester, k ; Manchester, Hunter; Resource,
3,;hnecin ; Margret, Metcalf ; Frankfort, Cliffimi ; Kini.tou,
; Cilebec Packet, Bennett; Courier, Fowler; and the
Rill psi or, 1 Incadguld.

The arenhope, Ss IP (which vessel was reported
to be captured off Barnholrn). and the Bailie Mer-
chant, Dcwsoii, both bound to London, were all
well on the 30th ult.—A ship is on shore en the
liolderne-s coast.—The Pomona sailed from Riga
on the Lith ult. with 32 vessels, which agreed to
keep company. N. t one vessel was left at Riga.
The B.fary, DaT via, is embargoed at Peters-
burgh, Ind no other vessel.—Eight vessels had put
into Carl ham and Carlscrona; the Neva and Ner-
vy were of the number. Three gun-brigs were
sect for diem. Tne Pomona passed Elsinore on the
:lo,h ult. There was no report of any capture for
many days, except the Lively, of Dundee, which
a as afterwards recaptured.

Isom the Adige, dated the 17th. at which time she
was cruising of the Tagus.

Dispatches were sent of yesterday. by Go-
vernment, to Sir SMUT SMITH. ant also to the
West Indies.

The greatest aftivity prevails in all the depart-
ments of the Admiralty. Orders have been issued
that all ships, as they arrive in port. shall be fitted
for sea with the utmost dispatch.

In any observations which we have made upon
the state of Sweden, we have uniformly asserted the
impossibility of that Power remaioing neutral or
friendly, in relation to E.ngland, io the present situ-
ation of the Continent. The spirit of the Swedish
KIN° Ve have never doubted. We are ready to
give him credit for the most romantic gallantry, but
glance at the m.lp of Europe is sufficient to spew
his total inals:tiiy to resist the itifinence now operas-
-1::g urn hint.

We gave cn Wednesday, from the Monirerer, the
lottery of the Prince of Asruatas, to his father
the Ki g of Spam, confessing his guilt, and the
declaration of his ROYAL PARRS? granting his
pardon. A much greater change has, how-
ever, taken jl .ce in the fortunes of the Son, than
rutrd forgiveness. A copy of a letter from Bo NA-
PART e to thd Pri .ce of AITURIAS, is in circula-
ti7.r. ro Spain, in wi.ich he declares the PRINCI to be,

advanced farther than the first aft. Driest the
curtain sltcys on the last Act, the k;n; of bessits,

sad the erinee of Annus, sad the Pattie( df
the Pfau, will ha►e played out their parts.—
At present they are necessary seers in gi►ing li-
miest to the piece, mid bringing about the cata-
strophe. If the Paistcs had not confessed his crime
and BONAAAITS had ever felt for injured inno-
cence, or suffering virtue, there would aopear some
iocoasistency in conferring honours epon the Prince;
hut •neither of these cases is founded in fat;
the Pasece has merely said what was set dowa
for him, and by his confession of a crime, which we
do believe he never meditated, has promoted the
•iews of Borta.carre, and cs.vered himself with
everlasting disgrace.
Nothing is said of the escape of the Duke of In-
ANTADO. or of the apprehended disgrace of the
PRINCE of the PLAce.

Juror had passed tbrongh Burgos some days
before, and he talked confidently of being at Lis -
bon on the 27th.

The Scorpion has taken a French privateer of ten

second prize taken by her in one week.

Aecomats from Reneberg, dated the 11th of
November, state, that General WA T taco° lir died
suddenly, at Aalbourg, where he was in custody, in

A Portuguese ship sailed from Ramsgate last
week, and was captured the same evening by a
French privateer off the South Foreland.

It WU reported, yesterday, that the AWITFIT AN
Au 13•111A0011 at our Court was about to leave Eng-
land. FliaSecretaryleft townonWednesday afternoon,
and it was said that he was to embark at Dover for
Calais. We do not, however, believe that his
Excellency the Ambassador has yet any imention
of leaving this country; and his Secretary may pro-
bably be gone to receive the Princess Sranaassasao,
who is shortly caplet:tea to arrive from the Con-
tinent.

A ship which sailed from Plymouth, for Bilboa,
with Spanish prisoners, a few werkt ago, com-
manded by Capt. MAY, returned to !hit port on
Sunday, and has brought intelligence, that, by the
inteference or dire& mandate of NA roLrom, the
Prince of ASTURIAS has not only been liberated front
his confinement, but appointed C:ne:alissimo of
the Spanish army. By the same vessel, a report
has been rixeived, that the French arosy, com-
manded by Gen. down, had taken possession of
Lisbon; tut the date of the event is net mention-
ed, nor any other circumstance to enable us to
judge of its probability.
According to intormation from Plymouth.
through • vessel which has just arrived there from
St.'Andero, the prohibitory Decrees of Bon Al Aar I
against our commerce are in future to be enforced
in the Spanish ports with the utmost rigour. An
orJer had been received at St. Andero just before
this vessel sailed, enjoining that no wool should be
exported to any past of be British empire. As
wool is the principal article of Spanish produce im-
ported into the United Kingdom, one may infer
from this order the total prohibition of any corn-
meree with Spain, as far as the orders of the Go-
vernment can be effedive.

Do, tor Murata, a Physician of Berlin, enraged
at the fame and success of Doc'for GALL, so cele-
brated for his leatires upon skulls, has set out for
America with 12 carriages and six, one half of which
are laden with skulls, which he has dissraed, and
the other half with ring., gold snuffboxes, watches,
and jewellery.
An American vesAel has been brought into Cowes
in distress, by an English cruiser. She left Cher-
burgh OD Friday 'tight last. The Captain is ar-
rived in town, and has communicated the fel-
leering important particulars :—About three weeks
since, he says, an embargo was laid on all vessels
in the port of Cherbough ; but on the Vel instant,
the order was revoked, and no-ice given that
all vessels might obtain their clearances at the
Custons-horse, and proceed on their voyages.—
Another order, however, for the farther detention
of all American ships reached Cherburo from Pa-
ris, oo the 4th; nor could the yess...l %%inch arrived
at Cowes on Monday, have escaped, had not the
Captain hastily proceeded on boars!, the moment
he beard of the new order, and withoat hooks,
papers, clothes, &c. which were on shore, DE.lE:led
his escape in the course of the night. A few
days previous ro the 2d, a French frigate, of
3(i gem, provisioned for a voyage of seven months,
proceeded from Chetburgh to Brest. There was
in the former port a French corvette, carrying
sixteen guns, lamely returned hem a cruise
she had been to sea for some weeks, and during.
her cruise fell is with the homeward•bound East
India Fleet. It was this corvette elat hoarded the
Lord ladoo Indiaman in Portland 'triads, and was
so gallantly repulsed ; she was commanded by the
nephew of Gen. 11Ina ea o, who lost hii lite at the wheel
of the Lord Eiden, by a sabre blow from Capt. YOCNO,
which severed his heed from his body. The Ame-
rican ship ridorp had been seized at Cherburgh, on
account of the Captain having made a false declib
ration, and not, as has been repotted, for leaving
rum on board. It was necessary before his inward
distance could he effetted at the Cmtoru House
there, that he should prove he had no goods of
British manufaeture on board ; that he had not
touched at a British post, and that he had not been
detained by a Brstish cruiser. The Captain ac-
knowledged his detention for five hours by an Eng-
lish cruiser, and this was deemed sufficient to seal
his condemnation.—thcb ere die btat.:l4enta of the
