LONDON,
SATURDAY, JUNE 18.

By the I Tambuigh Mail of the 7th, we are in-
formed, th:tt a French Officer had arrived at Bre-
men, with orders for the arrest of all British sub-
jeas, and the seizure of British property of every
description in that place. Independent of this in-
telligence, we have reason to believe, that the fate
of Bremen and Humburgh has been before this
time decided. Last night in the House of Com-
mons, the Ministers, i 1 answer to some questions
put by General GASCOIGNE and Mr. DENT, did not
contradia the report prevalent m the morning, that
both these places have been occupied by the French

troops. Mr. ADDINOTO:c observed, that it w.ts not
t.) he thence inferred, that our trade with the Con-
tinent was cut off, as it could not, during the war,
be supplied with sugar and other articles, considered
of the first necessity, from any other country.

Omnium opened yesterday at 2.1; but a repent
being cotuit :nanced by persons supposed to possess
good information, that the E,IPCKU:t of Rt-s,:tw is
become an aaive mediator between this country
and France, the discount was reduced to 11.
Any hope derived from this source, however,
Was damped by the unfavourable int(iligerce re-
ceived in the course of the day respelling Bremen
and Hamhurgh. The Omni= gradually declined,
and left off at :IA; and even at this price, there were
few purchasers.

For our Political relations with the butch, we
refer our Readers to his NlaJt.t..r v's Message, deli-
vered last night to both Houses of Parliament. It
is so full and satisfuctory, as to supersede the neces-
sity of any comment,

By a letter from Paris, we are informed, that
Colonel A BERCROMBIE, Colonel SMITH, Capta'n
SivAtiv, of the Artillery, and several other gentle-
men, have been sent prisoners to Valenciennes; and
also that Lord Etoiri is permitted to,remain at

Paris upon his parole of honor; and hay taken Lrml
WHITWORTH'S box at the Opera. Sir J. B. DAVIS,
who is now a prisoner at the same place, will com-
plete is sixtieth year in September next.
Major Datton, Aid-du-Camp to Prince WM-
A.S4 Of GLOUCESTER, who arrived in town on
Tuesday from Yarmouth, will immediately resume
the command of his regiment.
His Royal Highness Prince WILL t A rt of G:.ou-
CUTER remained five days, on his return to Favz-
land, with the King of PaussrA in his camp, where
he was highly entertained, and visited by the Queen
and all her nobles.
A Messenger an-ived on Thursday afternoon from
Paris, with dispatches for the Russian Ambassador
Here. An ininiediate communication was made by
the Russian Ambav,ador to Lord I I.vwxcsaultv.
A feet days will, probably, throw some light upon
this business; at present all is mere coranre.
Dispatches have been received from. Terre Leone,
which give a favourable account of the circum-
stances of that Colony.—One native Chief orris still
industriously seeking the means of disturbing its
peace, and was endeavouring to gain other Chiefs to
Lis views, but had hitherto failed- in all his at-
tempts, and every where Met with the most discou-
ra"ing refusals.
l'hrough the vigorous exertions, however, of Cap-.
tain Day,. the Governor, the Colony had been puti
snch'a tiSpe&able state of deferfce as to dissipate,
all apprehension of danger from the hostility of the!
natives. in consequence of the sense of se
cur4,l
.4 which had been thus induced, cultivation had reviv-!
ed among tin .seitlirs with every. prospeet.of rile;
