PARIS, MARCH 12.—The abrupt departure.of'the
British Ambassador from Cassel is by nb means to-
be ascribed_ to a recall from Mr. Fox, as is stated in
the Public Papers : it is rather the effe& of the fol-
lowing circumstances :—When the Hessian Am-'
bassador, V ONDER MALssuaoft; requested an au-
dience here, it was refused him, with the intimation
that • the residence' of Mr. Ta-imoa, at Cassel, was
highly displeasing, and that all diplomatic relations-
were suspended. A COUrier was immediately dis,.
patched ' from this City to the Imperial Charge
d'4lfaires, M. COURBON ST. GENET, at Cassel.—
In compliance with the Dispatches he carried out
with him, the latter delivered a Note, dedking
that he would leave Cassel in twenty-four hours'
unless the above-mentioned Ambassador were sent
away. - Upon this -the Hessian Minister for Fo
reign Relations communicated the affair to the Eng-
lish Ambassador ; and said, in • hiS.-Memoit, that
it was not in the power of the Eledor'to prote& his
(the Ambassador's)--person any longer. -.The'depar-7-
ture of Mr. TAYL,.-nt was the consequence: 'During:
this transadion, the 7th and 'Bth Corps of the Army
surrothided.the Hessian States with 60,000
After Mr. TAYLOR had left Cassel, the: diplomatic
relations 'With the Hessian Court, which had been
entirely broken off,- were again renewed. The

rity of his PrusSian Majesty. .

a rumour prevailed, that it. had brought intelligence
that the Russians had occupied Warsaw. We consi-ti

rived here on the 11th of February; after a march
of 600 miles, during which we must have suffered
severely, but for the' Officers who had us under es-

'The trading Smack Nelson, from Aberdeen, armed
by Government, commanded by Captain SMITH,
on her voyage from Aberdeen to London, was at-
tacked by a French Lugger Privateer, off Flaw-
borough Head, on Sunday last : Capt. SMITH im-
mediately prepared for a&ion, stood up to the Lug-
ger, and fired several guns ; upon which the Lugger
immediately hauled her wind, and stood out to sea,
in great haste. To the spirited ,conduel of Capt.
SMITH, the owners have certainly been indebted for
the safety of the vessel and cargo. UpUn the Pri-
vateer coining in sight, Capt. SMITH hoisted- his
colours, and lowered his gaff top-sail,. as if making
signals for assistance, which had the etre& of- com-
pletely intimidating the people on board the Priva-
teeer, who ran out to sea with great precipitation.
Several colliers, and other vessels,, were in sight—
they,. also, are indebted to Capt. SMITH'S judicious
coudu&, for their safety. •

It is stated, in Letters from Deal; of Thursday,
that a Messenger had arrived there with two Foreign
Officers; supposed. to .be Prussians, and set of for
town. They probably brought some dispatches re-
speaing.the state of affairs in the North.
