POLITIC.IL ENTS or TIM WEEK.

Accounts have been recek ed from Holland, -that the
Russians are making very active preparations to tit out
their fleet. It is said, they arc also constructing three
hundred row-boats to co-operate syith the Danes against
Sweden. A British squadron will probably, however, enter
the Baltic as soon as the season will admit, and then the
Russians, as well as their Allies, must lay up their fleets till
the following winter.

The articles of intelligence received this week are not of
peculiar importance, at least when compared with the great
events to which we have lately been accustomed. BONA-
PARTE seems to have some schemes in agitation for still fur-
ther altering the distribat;on of Italy. The ger cv of ETtiv-
HIA has been made to d adieu to her dominions ; and,
after taking an atreeiionate farewell of her people, and
telling them the ease of mind she fit at leaving them in the
hands of so excelleal a Sovereign as the Emperor N pot.FON,
has formally evacuated the country. carrying along with
her a train of fifty waggons loaded with her bag,gage.
She has the promise of being indemnified in some other
quarter for the loss of her territories ; but whether in
Turkey or not, the accounts do not state.

. The result of our present discussions with America is not
as vet ascertained. The Imericans stein flimsily alarmed
at the proceedings of the: French and the British ; and
dreading that the vessels will be captured and confiscated
wherever they steer, they have laid au embargo on all their
own ships at present in port. It must be allowed that it is
a cruel necessity for a neutral nation to be obliged to put
an end to their own commerce, in order to prevent it from
falling into the hands of Allies A% jib w Rom they are at peace .
but it does nut seem probable that they can remain any
longer neutral, if the report be true that BON AVAit TE has
finally demanded of thent to join either France or Britain.
We insert a curious article, containing the regu-
I adopted in the Rio de la Plata, ith r:•spect to nen
tral trade, All neutrals are excluded for two years, even
if permitted vs ith the raNat liceace; while an armistice is
concluded with the British squadron cruizing in that river.
'There regulations may seem to portend the reuess al of
those efforts to attain independence, which once occasioned
such commotion in the Vice-royally of Buenos I vre!,: and
in this case, the true policy of Britain is very ohs ions.

" By the Franklin, Captain Ehrenstoa, w hick arrived at
Charleston on the •2-lth of Deccmher, from iluenos A rt'S, w hich
place she left on the I,lth of October. it :!ppears that, about a
week prier to her sailing, an order had been issued hv the to-
vernment there fur all neutral vessels to lea%e the River Plate
wiihin forty elms from the date of the Order, loaded or
on-
loaded, and that no vent ml whatever would be allow ed to enter
any ports in the later Plate fur two years, even it' they should
have a Royal licence. The Portitguese and Americans were
generally considered as spies of the English General Liniers
had entered into a new Treaty w ith the Commander of the
British Fquadroo, ernizing in the River, which consisted of a
frigate, a sloop, and a cutter. The British were not to molem
the River trade between Buenos Ayres to any parts above Monte
Video. The Spanish Government are to supply the British
squadron, or any ships of their nation which may put in there,
with Uhat supplies they may want. Maldonado was appointed
the place of rendezvous, and this was to continue in force for
six months."
