FRENCH P %PERS.

Tit nch Papers to the 2.2 d instant have contradicted all the
repo is cut rent in the e rly art of the week, that the armis
tine i ad not been ra ified by the I mreror of Ru,sia, and that ,
in coesequence hostilities had been continued. The latter i

of Fench, have tefused to lecogrrse the armistice until

coasts of the latter, but that NAPOLEON had too much res-
pect for the sacredness of treaties, to agree to the dismem-
berment of the Kingdom of an ally, the integrity of whose
dominions he had guaranteed l! This may suit the views
of the French, which are to regain the good opinion of En-
rope, and with it, the suppoit of its population, but it will
not accord with truth. The invective against Sweden, 11.0w-
ever. is a strong corroborative proof of the long doubted and
vet fully untried sincerity of the Crown•Prince,B ERN A DOTTE.
The interview between the Russian, Austiian, and French
EMPERORS which was mentioned in the French Papers re-
ceived at the beAinning of the week, is passed unncticcd in
the later, so that it was probably pothing more than the san-
guine expression of the writers' wish, and we may still hope
that the Sovereigns of the Continent are not so reduced as
to accept terms rom the lips of their unprincipled enemy.

Mr. CREE`•EY's attempt to induce the Commons to esta•
blish the impeccability of its Members out of his bosom, has
totally failed. His case laid- at length before the Commons
last Friday, produced no effect whatever, and as it his in.
tention, we are told, to bring it before the Peers, it is but
fair to anticipate a similar result.

A general anxiety begins to be felt for the arrival of in-
telligence from the Marquis of 'WELLINGTON'S army in the
Penin.ula, as the Noble Marquis must, el e this, have reached
the point where the French had assembled their forces, for
the purpose of offering battle to The Biitish army.
Friday a Gentleman art ived in town from the tnited States
of America. The general oppinion of his departure was,
that the first measure of the new Congress would be the
,re-
peal of the Non importation Act, in return for our rescind-
ing tl.• Orders in Council. The friends of peace and com-
merce, therefore, consider this measure, if carried, as the
ps elude to negociation.
Private letters from Baltimore, of a recent date, mention,
that no licensed vessels arc suffered by our blockading squa-
drons to sail from any ports belonging to the United States ;
and those that have ventured out have been compelled to
proceed to the Chesapeake and Delaware. It was estimated
that there were on ship board in these two Bays not less than
300,000 barrels of flour, which if kept on board during the
summer, would inevitably heat, and become unfit for human
sustenance.

We have some accounts of the President American frigate
by the Duke of Montrose Halifax packet, which was cap-
!tired on the 12th inst. in lat. 43. so. N. long 31. 30. W.
and sent her with the Officers of the packet and the Master 4
of the two other vessels, to England, as a cartel. She arri-
ved at Falmouth last Wednesdsy. The President sailed
orn America in company with the Congress on the loth of
last month. The Duke of Montrose Mln with an Ameri-
can schooner privateer, of 14 guns, the day before she was
captured, and sustained an action with her for two hours,
and at last beat her otr. Capt. BLEWETT states that the
President and Congress frigates parted company on the. sth
nst.

The circumstance of the whole American Navy being at
sea, ha., within the,e few days, given birth to many Dula-
vourahle, and we bope unfounded, rumours. One of them
sta•ed the Stirling Castle, with Lord Mortta and his suite
on b.mtd, .o have been captured by two American frigates.
