4)4, that he-and the Hamburghers saw through dif-
Xerent optics. It was indifferent to the City of Ham-

the profits ; but with him it was every thing to de-
Prive England of her commercial relations, and to

the French Minister at Warsaw.
On-the 9.3 d, an order arrived here to remove
and dispose of all the regiitered property; but now it
is understood that nothing will be done in the busi--
tess • till the return of the Secretary. Whether it
arises from our being more reconciled to our situation
thisn we were at first, or from other causes, I cannot
Isetend to say, but it certainly is true, that the city
become more cheerful within these feu-, days.
-"ne rause may be assigned for it;that several Mer-
chants who had stopped have resumed their payments,
ides, the consequences of the proceedings of the

Officer. Thu consequencewas, that the person was
obliged to make a discovery Of the house from
-whence he brought it,: and the French put their
seals upon the premises. The French have relaxed

OFFICIAL NOTE.
ScinVERN, DEc. 22..--" The Undersigned Mini-
!ter Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the Emperor at
ing to the States of Lower Saxony; has received orde?s,
4LI the name of his Suvereign, to declare to t he Ministry
P 1 his Highness the Duke of-- 4ECKLENBURGH-
SeIIWERLN, that in consequence of a passage_ being
granted to. the Russian troops through Mecklen-
, burgh, their long continuance in that Country, and
khe supportaliurded them, it appears that these ac-
V2mmodations must have been the result of an in.
"late alliance between that country and Russia; but
at the tame time inconsistent with the duties of neu-
trality__
France, therefore, Cannot "acknowledge the
neutrality
of Mocklenburgh. Besides, as the Go=
1:111()r of Meckletiburgh was invested with a com-
rod in the Russian Army; he can be looked upon
of Ili? ether light than as serving under the colours
toe principal enemy of France. Mecklenburgb,
diaet"setillellee of various connexions, has an flume-
th,,e interest in the atiani 'of Russia ; and, under
pestePrtsent circumstances, when the Cabinet of *St.
tfie iral)urgli, contrary to all right, and even without
the (lea3t pretext, has violated the independence of
of,l'ittotnan Porte, and, in fact, made itself master
z.iile.Provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia, a mea.
re, In respe& to Mecklenburgh, which has a ten-
t:llV to retaliate, cannot be negleeled; it is a
tteastite warranted by justice, and equally required
SOnod policy, and the interests of France.
The Undersigned is therefore charged to declare,
tic 1. That it is the will of the Emperor and
tr ag, on account of the assistance which this Coun-
a,): afforded to his enemies, that it shall be con-
mered as having made a common cause with them.
, " 2.That the future and ultimate fate 0-414ecklen-
/rgh will depend upon the conduit which Russia
all observe towards Moldavia and Wallachia.
:I: The Undersigned avails himself of this occa-
;T.., to assure the Ministry of his Highness the
--Fuxe of MECKLENBURGIi of his particular esteem.

TYROL, DEC. 10.—Private letters from Milan say;
the Viceroy will probably go to the Grand Army for
a short time, where he will have a command.

BAMBURGEIi DEC. 19.—The Gazette of this City
says, the Austrian troops, in conjuation with the
French, will enter Turkey to drive out the Monte-
negrins ; and as these Mountaineeis are under
proteCtion, and paid by Russia; it is possible that
Turkey will t-ety soon become the theatre where
we shall see the forces of four Emperors engaged.
Bit"'EN, DEC. 20.---"" The Senate of the. Free
City of Bremen • makes known by these &writs' to

ter the first partition of Poland, in 177 s. Thecom-,
com-

and cost thirteen millions of dollars: The Fortr6s

Vistula, and its environs can be laid under Water.

Capt. WM. NV. FARBER, Om/ter/and; ditto; Capt.

It now appears beyond a doubt, tlet the nutch••
Government will not relax in the smallest degree
from the rigour of its proceedings respe&ing the
trade of Holland with this cdtintry. All commercial
intercourse, therefore, is suspended betvveeh the two
ountries. A letter of the 27th was received yeSter-
day from Holland which determines the point. As
no ship could possibly Sall with it, it was put oh
board the first vessel met with at sea bound to Eng-
land, in order to cunimunicate to the Merchants here
the impossibility or any traffic between the two
countries, and to prohibit the exportation of any
tnerchandize to Holland from this country. The
letter also states, that a Petition had been presented
by the Dutch merchants to the Government, poey7
ing that such ships as were loaded prsor to the issu-
ing of the Decree might be sutiltred to sail;
Mont BoxINO.---:-A battle of a novel nature took
place yesterday, in the presence of a considerable
field of sportsmen, at Hook Common, near Barnet,
for ten guineas, between Fisher,. an expert bruiser,
five feet two inches in height, and an untaught
ploughman, near six feet in stature, which was
speedily decided in favotir of the former. The battle
lasted only twelve minutes, during which time the
countryman took especial care, after having had a
proof of his opponent's skill in the first round, .not,
to give him a second opportunity. •He had his nose
splitdn the first round, whilst making some awkward
attempts to hit his adversary, and all attempts to
get him to face his man again were fruitless, until
the last round, when by stratagem he received ano-
ther blow in the throat, and resigned the contest.
The following are the closing lines of a very sin-
