blonds,. it is said, have been made by persons sent
eniressly by. the Emperbr NAPOLEON, and among
the rest General DurtAND, now at the head of the

HAMM' RGII, NOV. 30.-Yesterday a' courier
brought us the most tranquillizing news frbm Cus-
trin, at present the head-quarters of his Imperial
Majesty the Emperor NAPOLEON. Our bank is to
be considered as a sacred depot ; 'these are the Ern-
peror's express words. Ottr garrison will consist of
a small corps of French troops, and 1000 of the city's
soldiers. - The gates are already occupied by the
Harnburgh troops.'
All the French left us this morning, about 700
excepted. It is said they will take the route of Schwe-
rin and Strelitz, and that we shall hear of some
political change during their, passage. His Excel=
lency Marshal MORTIER goes away to-morrow, and
we expect General LAVAL, who is to replace him.
His Majesty the Emperor NAPOLEON reckons upon
being at Warsaw on the 2d of December.
BERLIN, Nov. 29.—.0"pr hopes of peace are con-
siderably diminished. M:DultoC, the Grand Mar-
' steal of the Palace, returned here on the 27th, with-
out briii&ing any dispatches, and, since his depar-
ture,b Gen. ZASTROWhas Sent of no courier.
The troops that are continually passing through
here, do not rest above 24 hours. The last of them
will go on to-day. The Councillors of State will fol-'

Stralsund is going to be besieged by the French
troops.
PARIS, DEC. 2.---/The Extraordinary Sitting of the
Senate, which is to be held to-day,, will be of con-
siderable importance, as, among other objeals, the
Decree of the Emperor, Which declares England in
a State-of blockade, is to be-taken into consideration.
Sunday the 7th inSf will be celebrated all through
the Empire, as the Anniversary of the Emperor's
Coronation, and the Battle of Austerlitz. These
!Iwo- .rneMorable events, so advantageous to the
t. French, will, of course, be. the 'means of
.exciting
the most agreeable 'sensations.

" Isle of France, 6th July, 1806.
-" The 2 tst of June, at day break, sailing in S. lat.
ga. 12. and 53. 21. wind E. S—S. blowing
fresh, and steering cleSe,hauled on the larboard tack,
I desCrieda large7Vessel, in full sight, to the. E. N.B.
and sieerirz S. \V.
I let r bear down without increasing :sail un-
til • ;;ne when she bore N.- E. at the distance
't‘agneS. I then tacked about, and
steered upon her. At eleven. o'clock this Vessel
hauled in her studding sails, brailed up her topgal-
lant-sails and main-siil; 'and- hoisted English colours,
making reconnoitring signals, which I was unable
to answer.
‘* At ten minutes P. being within musket-shot
of her; I .connitenceil a; cannonade, which she an-
swered a biisk fire.
The force of the wind obliged me to make sew
veral manoeuvres, for the purpose of fighting only
to leeward, because the heeling of the Frigate pre-
vented me from making use of my guns when I
was to windward ; whereas the enemy made use of
his with adVantage in any position whatever, 911 ac-
count of his great height. At a quarter before`five
his mizen-mast felt, and he struck his flag.
. " I was busy hoisting out my Boats to take pos-
session,of the prize, and was covered by her, she
edged flat upon me with intent to strike against
me, to disrnast me, and make her -escape : the sea
being very rough, she really did strike against me,
on starboard ; but that instant I commanded my
men to board her, and, notwithstanding her great
height, they jumped on board and took her for the
second time.
" In the'shock this Ship lost her bowsprit and
foremast, and the PieTontaise her main-top-mast.
". I did not lose a moment in repairing the Fri-
gate, and putting her prize in a condition to sail tin-
der jury-masts, and on the tth inst. brought her into
the Isle of Fran w.
" ThisVessel•is called the Warren Hastings, of
1200 tons 'burden, mounting forty-eight eighteen-
pounders. She, belonged to the, East India Coin-
pany,and sailed from China three months ago with
a full lading of, tea and nankeen, the invoice price
of which is,three minions.
I owe great praise to my Officers and Men for
their conduct upon this occasion ; I lost seven men
and five wounded.
" The Enemy's resistance would have been less
long if the roughness" of the 'sea and force of the
wind had allowed me to fight on both sides. fieliad
192 men according to ' his muster-roll ; there re-
mained only .131 on board when she surrendered
the rest must have been killed in the engagement.

Paris Papers to the 4th, and Dutch Papers to the
Bth, reached-town last night. They do not contain
nny intelligence of importance. The private letters
which have been recoivad concur in stating, that' the
Russian Troops are advancing in great numbers to-

that the refusal of the KiNa of PRUSSIA to ratify
the Armistice could only have proceeded from an
