The sp. pdersbia7 Gautic, of the 2d ult. contains a no.
titication flom the EmiEnort, stating, that precautionary
ereasures had Leen taken for removing heavy articles of va-
lue flom thence before the frost !,ets in ; from whence we
may conclude that some apprehension is entertained of a
visit from the enemy. The EMPEROR concludes with de-
c:aring, that " he is determined tather to drain the last drop
of the cup of mi,ery, than, by a scandalous peace, to sub-
ject Russia to a forcign yoke."
It is confidently ~ated, that the Emperor ALEXANDEIt
has es.,lved to send over to this country all his ships and
vessels of war. This measure must be considered, however,
not only as a proof of his IMPERIAL MAJESTY'S attachment
to tr, and of his persevering resolution to resist BUONA-
PARTE, but also as a tacit acknowleAgement of an appre.
pension that the Freach may succeed in obtaining possession
of the Russian ports in the Baltic. His IMPERIAL MA.,
JEST V is resolved that, in such an event, those ports shall
be found as naked and unfurnished with military means and
re ou t yes as Moscow.

Earl TvitcoNN rt. and Sir ROBERT WILSON, who are
attached to Lord CATitcA Rl's Stan; left Petershurgh to
join the Russian army, just before the last dispatches were
transmitted from thence to England.
NV e are sorry to annitince the loss of his Majesty's ship
('entinel, and it) sail of merchantmen.
YA HMOIT t it, r. :;9.—Arrived yesterday evening, after posts Ms
noje.ty's ship INlLircioriets, with about thirty of the homeward-bound
Baltic convoy ; the remaittoier are dispeovd in the North Sea. The
Nlerctorius brings nn aceonon of the loss of the Centinel gun-brig, 41.41
twenty vetse!s of this eenvoy on linen ',land, and the sivials leading
into the Great Belt. Crews happily saved. This unf :innate event
took place on the night of the 10th instant. Ibis sloip,Ailui-
lim loud arrived at Gottenboorgh. The Ambassador from Spain to Rus.
la has arrived here, and will embark on lewd his Nliojesty's ship Arab.

The following letter from New Orleans, dated Aug. 24,
contains a repetition of the report of loss of the Southamp-
ton frigate, at the mouth of the Mississippi. We still trust
that it will turn out to be unfounded :

" AU is bustle here in the military Nay. Since the morning a reps rt
has reached town that the &hist) have taken poss?ssion of our block-
house at Fort St. Philip, near the mouth of the river. The Southamp-
ton frigate was cast away at the Balite, and the Brazen sloop of war
weathered the storm on the 18th instant and it is believed with their
boats they have taken the idiot e mentioned positions, which wese r-n-
-dercd entirelv defenceless by the burrican. It would be impossible to
give you a just description of the dreadful havoc and melancholy
aspect of this iil hated city The hurricane far surpassed any •Mist; of
the kind ever witnessed heretofore, Itor violence, and consequently
destruction of property. Every house its the city is more or less in-
jured—many were dashed to atelier; hundreds of lives ere lost on
the river, and out of sixty vessels scarcely /4 arc worth repa►ring."
