GERMAN PAPERS.

PSTSISSVIGH, JAW. 31.

By an Ukase of His Imperial Majesty, dated 31ot
of last month (Dec. 1809), it is enacted, that, for
books, charts, and maps, imported from abroad,
no certificates of origin are required.—(Corre-
sporultaten, Feb. 17.)

MUM!, JAW. 13.

It is confirmed, that, in the Kittle of Silistria,
there was in the Turkish army a corps of 2,000
Euglish, who came from Malta, and that many
English Officers directed their manoeuvres.

MINIS OF TEM ILSE, FEM. 23.

A division of the French army of Germany is ex-
pected every moment, to occupy flamburgh and
it, dependencies, for the purpose of preventing
every possibility of the merchants trading in Eng-
lish, or perhaps even any other colonial produce.—
The title of the French Customs at Hamburgh.
Bremen, and Lubeck, is also to be tripled. A
French Decree is said to have arrived, or to be on
the way, according to which no colonial produce
whatever, whether American or English, is to
pass the French line of Custom-house Officers at
Hainburgh, coming from Alton', or any part of
the Danish territory. The shores of the German
Ocean are, by some accounts, to be guarded by an
array of 6n,ouu Frenchmen, in order to prevent all
trade. The Hamburgh merchants, who trade to
America, and had consignments made to them, ria
Toriningen, and other parts in the Oauish Duchies,
are under great apprehensions that the Freud',
should enter Holstein, under some pretence or
other, and seize the great quantity of American
products now hoarded up there.
The Danish forces, a few days ego, began to
form a numerous conks of troop*, from the mouth
of the River Elbe, as far as Bird, with what design
is not known. The rosin...ism along diet cordon
have also been put in a respectable state of defence,
and supplii.sl with a numerous artillery. Early
Will morning, the French Minister at Newburgh
nrceived advice from Hanover, that the incorpcsi
ration of that Electorate with Westphalia, has been
suddenly put off, in consequence of the arrival of
couriers from Paris and Cassel. The Deputatiou
of the States ordered to Cased to recommend the
ceded Electorate to the mercy and favour of its
new master, received orders to return to Hanover.
It is now said that Bonaparte has sent a letter, in
his own hand-writing, by His Marshal of the
Palace, Duroc, to His Britannic Majesty, to make
some final propwels, before this decisive measure
shell be taken, with regard to His Majesty's Ger-
man dotnioions. The winter has again set in with
increased severity, end the Elbe is completely
locked by the ice.

The ;fate of Her Imperial Majesty's health does
not seem take a better turn, yet she made the diffi-
cult journey from Ofen hither without experiencing
any material injury.

As the French Ambassador, Otto, wished for an
audience of her on the 4th inst. Her Majesty could
oily rec4►e him sitting on her bed, in an undress,
surrounded by four ladies of the palace. The same
Ainbassador had also an audience, the same day, of
her Imperial Highness the Archduchess Louisa.
