r' It is incoutestibly true, that TVIIIMAU for along
•
time past has been jealous of AIL ExsKtra.--!-Thti
following circumstance is an evidence of the fadi :

" Some days past, Mr. TURREAU 'waited on Mr.
MADISON at his Office. Previous to entering his
apartment, he enquired—" I hope,Mr. ERSKINE is
not with the Secretary;" upon being answered in the
affirmative; he appeared offended; and said, if he went
to the Secretary of State, therewas Mr.Enstuxa ; if to
the Navy Department, there was Mr. ERSKINE; if
to the Secretary at War, there was Mr. ERSKINE—
the Government has but one ear, and that is given
to the English Minister."
CIIARLESTON,JAN. 20....—EMBARGO.—What the
effe6ts of this A& will be abroad we are to
learn hereafter, but those which it is prOducing at
home we begin to feel pretty sharply : rice,
which sot= weeks since, Sold briskly at 3 dollars,
50 cents. is' now nominally but t dollar 75 cents.
black seed cotton has fallen from 34 cents. to 22 or
26, and no sale, and corn is down to 56 cents.

" The North Carolina pricse current says Flour
is down to 2 dollars 25 cents the barrel, and To-
bacco to 2 dollars 50 cents the cwt. Such is the
beginning of the EmbargO measure, but what will
be the ?

" The House of Representatives, on the 28th,
,expressed its approbation of the conduct of the
National Administration, v 178 against 81."

The Prince of WALES and the ROYAL DUKES paid.
their respeas to their MAJEsTres and the PRINCESSES
yesterday .morning, at the Queen's Palace, previous
to their leaving town for Windsor. His MAJESTY'
set otf soon after ten o'clock, and her MAJESTY and
the PRINCESSES about twelve ; the Prince of WALES
took an atleCtionato leave of them, and handed them
to their carriage.
Sume Letters, dated the 14th instant, were yes-
terday received from Holland. They state, that
thirty-seven American Vessels are detained in the
ports of France, on suspicion of their having sub-
mitted to the Regulations of our Orders in Council,
and afterwards cleared out from this Country to a
,French port. The same Letters state, that accounts
had been received in Holland of considerable :nun-
hers of French troops having. reached Zealand and
other Danish Islands. It is said that they march-
ed through Holstein in twocolumns of 20,000 men
each.

tures which we have so long formed are now :rea-
lized. . The 'French army, with the perini•ision of

City ofAltona, precededby two Hanibro' dragoons;
with drawn swords, to serve thenias guides. The
men halted en the 6th, when BtatNADirrfli-reviewed
them, and about mono Spaniards, on a field be-.
longing to the City of Hambro", 'can't' the " Holy
Host Field." The Citizens of Altona are allowed ,a

the name of the. Duke of AHRE?dBERG, assem-
bled, consisting of all nations, but very few young
tnen,•continued their march, and haw since .been
continually followeA by French and Spanish corps
of artillery, cavalry, and infantry. The French have
also marched into Holstein, from the side of Lu-
beck, and by this time the greater part of' Holstein,
not excepting Rendsburgh, the 'King of Denmark's
residence, is full of French and Spanish troops. lit
three days the whole Spanish army under the com-
mand of the Marquis of 'ROMAGNA will have left.
'Hamburg!' and its environs, to proceed through
Holstein, over the Belts, to Zealand. 4t Apes)-

rade, and all the ports of Holstein and Schleswic,
all the great and small craft is under orders to take
in French and Spanish Troops ; and at Copenhagen
all the Gun-boats and MerehantMen, with one Ship
of the Line, four large Danish' East Indiathen, titted
out as Frigates, and carrying ;s6• gims each,, besides
a number of Danish Brigs, Cutters, and Pilot-
boats, manned by Frendh and Danish sailors, ate
to carry over the troepts. I'he French will, it is
said, attack Sweden in.four or five different places,
and the troops destined for the expedition are under
the command of BERNADOTTE, and will, it is said;
amount to nearly 70,009 Men. The appearance
a most respe6table British Fleet •in the Sound and
Baltic, becomes, therefore; absolutely necessary, to
sae the Crown of his Swedish Majesty;' and peer
vent hithtune freni falling into the hands off

combined French and Russians. BERNanorre himself
set out on the Bth- instant, it it the evening, ti-oni.
Hantiiurgh for Penneburgh and Rendsburgii, and
the statement given in. the Correspondent), of his
having taken the road to Lubec for Stralsund, is
wholly false. No posts from Holstein or Denmark
are now expeaed, as the French andaheir Allies
will probably stop them till a blow shall have been
struck. By all aecoents, the' French have Made
great preparations for:a descent on Sweden, in the
ports of Weimar, Rostock, and Stralsund, and the
Island of Rugen. • All letters are opened by the
French, and all travellers are searched,•and all papers
and parcels examined. In short, the greatest 'coo-.
ring and secrecy prevails, and is -visible in
every measure attending this important Expedi-
Ciotti which threatens to annihilate the political
existepee of the noble-minded durraves and
his , family. The Danish Islands, particularly
Zealand., with • Copenhagen, ought' to be checked
and awed immediately, to.prevent the consequences
of this most awful looking enterprize. It is the
general opinion hena that if the British Fleet does,
net speedily arrive Sweden is lost. The French.
and Spanish armies, assisted by the Danes, am to
be at Copenhagen, Cronenburgh, Elsineur; aid
ether parts of Zealand, on or before: the iksth or
2dln inst. •

sian Minister, Von ALoPaus, was already on tlys

point to take his departure, when the King sent for
him, and told him that he had still a last propoind
to make ; he. would pledge his guarantee that no
English Ship of the Line shoOld. enter the,Baltic,
if they would not Itlolest him, if not, ho would at
any rate force the Alliance with Englamt, 'invade
Normandy, and bombard one part of the Baltic
after another. The Russian 44nbassatior has sent
another Courier with this psupQ,sul to st. Potersburgh•
It is thought that the latter Court will apply to Paris,
and on the answer from thence war at peace vti))
depct.d. This decision is MG however, expeeied
before the 25th of March, yet 4 these negociations
do not it seems avert war.
