under this permission, to freight vessels for the
ports of France, and to bring back merchandiie in
return, immediate orders will be given for 'the ref
lease of all Russian ships whicli have been bionght

fident that it could never be the intention of the
Emperor of Russia to suffer his snbje&s, in the pre-
Sent war, to transport to the ports of Fiance. In a
war in which thitise two Powers are engaged as.
allies, it•never could be wise Or just for either to suf.- •
ter the Enemy to be supplied' with those means of •
offence which could only' be' directed against' their
common intereros. •

that he ,is commanded to express his Majesty's
readiness to afford all reasonable facilities to the 807.
jeCis of Russia, in carrying oti a trade with the ene-
my in innocent articles ($o long .as sticktrade shall
be continued to be sanctioned by. his Imperial 'Ma-
jesty), is alio instructed to regnest, that an express
interditlion may be issued by the Russian Govern-
ment, against sending naval stores. to the ports of
the enemy,. as by furnishing such supplies, the
greatest injUty must necessarily be occasioned to the
`common causer in which the two Powers are so hap-
pily united. _

Et;ti. to Viscount Flowick, dAted St. Pettsburgh, Novem-
ber tgth,

I have not ceased to press General Budberg to
communicate to me such details respeaing the loan
Which it is proposed to be raised in England on ac-
count of the Russian Government, as may enable
his Majesty's Ministers early •to decide whether it .
would be possible to comply- with the wishes of the
Court of Petersborgh. In a conversation which
rook place, yesterday, his Excellency intiirmed me
that he had spoken with the Minister of Finane,
arid it is calculated that six or if possible seven
mil-
Fons sterluig will be the amount of the sum which.
th .v desire to raise by this method ; that the capital-
shall bear an interest of live per cent. secured hi
whate;ver mariner way, be deemed. most eligible,
though he said that the Russian Customs will, he
hopes, he'deemed an adequate security in case the
proposition should be encouraged in. England.
His Excellency did.not state the term or the mode
'Of repayment, but said he would very Shortly send a
Messenger to England with further particulars, and
suggested that some person versed in financial at=
fain should be authorised to 'Roth:, the further details;
With this Government. Though the amount. of the
sum may perhaps appear considerable, I must observe
that the customs ()tier full security for the regular
- •
payment of the interest.

The repeated prook of his Britannic Majesty's
attachment to that cause ivhich prote6ts the liberties
of Europe, are sufficiently notorious, to remove all
doubt as to his sincere de ire to concur in and area
to anticipate the wishes of his only Ally in the
glorious struggle which the two Powers continue to
Maintain. The sentinients expressed jp the Note of his.
Excellency General Budberg are .perfettly analo-

SATURDAY, •FEBRUARY' 527 p Lage•

There is no truth whatever in the report of 889,-
ther Frauch Squarer) having wide its ocape,,,

I -
yesterday Dispatches were received by Govern-
ment from the Squadron employed in the Blockade
of Lisbon; and a, report was circulated in the course
of the evening, that General JUN.GT had insisted
tipen having the British aubjeas that had taken re-
fuge on board the Russian Fleet delivered up, and
that 'Top the refusal ,of the ..Ros,,i?pr 410111.itli to
comply 'with this deinand, the Frencili .General
had threatened to: open the batteries upon the 895-
tian Fleet; in consequence Of which the British puhi•
juts were deliveied Up to the French. We know not
upon what authority this rumour was circulated, but
we have the strongest reason to believe `it is
wholly destitute of foundation, as Government haVe
received no such intelligence.

We are sorry.that the'greai, length of the-Debate
prevents us from Submitting, this day, to the ico4-
sideratiOn of our Readers, the whole of the State
Papers which'were last night
.presente4 to Parlim,_
"anent, because they afford the mdst Pinenntes,tible
proof that the disasters of the last Campaign in
POland, the unfortunate Peace of TilSit, and finally'
the Rtipture between Great Britain and Aussla, Aug
be attributed in a considerable degree to the want
energy in the late AdMlnistration, and to their 'on'
accountable detertnination not to take any share in
that contest on the Continent on which the fate:ot
Europe, perhaps of the world,' depended. Every
Dispatch from Russia. contained the .most pressing'
intreaties to the Rtitish Governmpt to attempt
some diversion on the Continent, by which a part of
the French Forces might be drawn from the Vistula.
In one. of the ' Letters frOm Lord fl urts4tl
