" The vessels which have Nikki into our bands
in the Garonne are all laded with guns, •noWder,
shot, and other Military stores. There is athon;st
the rest a most beautiful barge, said to Have .heew
constructed for the .EMperori when be visited this
part of France:
" The barge it-a most beautiful vessel, amt' the
workmanship is exquisite; the cOnstracting her,'
it is said, cost 60,000 francs. It will be sent'
home in the.Egmont,,, as a present-to the PRINCE
REGENT. The gun-brig has been named after
Lord KEITH, and is ready to act against the
enemy.
" ALL our marines (says a letter of the 9th),
and the flower of the Andromache's company,
under the command of Lieut. 111‘CAanv, , are at
Verdon Roads. The Centaur arrived on ihefith,
and the moment the ships began to
,move, the
French Commodore gave orders to burnthe whole
of his squadron, consisting of the Regulus and
three brigs. A landing place had been discovered,
and while the seamen and marines were storming
the batteries at Tallemont, the Egmont, -Belle
Poule, and the gun-brig taken from the enemy,,
were to attack the Regulus. The • French
Cont-
modore prevented our getting possession of theso
in the manner I have related, and thus the river
.
hss been cleared of the enemy's flotilla. All the
batteries at Talleniont, Royaii, and other parts of.
the right bank of the river, have been since des
strove& without the loss of a man. The
French soldiers remove as the seamen and ma-'
riues advance, and .a clear passage is obtained
for our transports and merchant vessels to Pro-
ceed-to Pouillac. There is nothing to obstruct
their passage to I3ourdeaux but dm fortifications
of Blue, and I hope in a short time to give, you
a good account at them. Lord DALHOUSSE has
had a skirmish with General .Ijollll.l.lErs, and
taken about 250 prisoners. We visit and are vi-
sited by the inhabitants on the left bank of the
ri ter.

" No language can express, nor can I possibly
describe the kindness, the attention, the polite-.
ness, and friendship of the Freud) people. All
ranks, all ages, vie with each. other which shall
pay us. the most attention. - Their houses, theif
horses, and every thing they have is freely offered

fur our use..."

Savannah Papers were received on Saturday to
the end of February, and letters from the United
States by a ship
.from Amelia Island, which. has
been forty7two days on its voyage. The embargo
was so strict, that cargoes could -not be procu►'ed
at the island, and seven or eight ships had on that
account proceeded to the Havannah in ballast.
Letters were received on• Saturday from Bremen
'and Altona to the 9th, and from Heligoland to
the 13th instant, with Altona papers to the Bth ;
the Bremen paper of the 7th announces, in three•
or four lines, signed by two Prussian diplomatic
agents, the occupation of Paris by the Allies.. We
have the satisfaction to find by the accounts from Al.,'
tons, that no more blood had been shed i n any contest,
will► the French garrison at Hatnburgh The se-
verity of DAvousT had been in no respect relaxed_
and attempts had been made by him permanently
to obitruct the navigation of the Elbe, by sinking
vessels and materials in situations suitable to that

injurious purpose. Persons continued to leave
Ilamburgh, and in that attempt received tittle or
no'oppo.ition from the military. We have also
letters from Lubec, carlscrona, Car'sham, and

Copenhagen, the latter to the 26th ult. In the
communications from the Danish capita), it is
mentioned as a report, that Prince CHRISTIAN had
made an arrangement with General 1074sEN, who
had been appointed Swedish Governor-General of
Norway. The evacuation of that kingdom by the
Danes was expected to take .place very soon.-
The restoration of the fleet in the Scheldt to.
its legitimate Sovereismi may be soon expected,
Admiral VERHEUIL having notified that Ile waits
only for orders to that effect from the Provisional

Government.
It will be recollected that sonic mention has
been made of a rencontre having taken place be-
tween the Orpheus British frigate and.'the United
States frigate the President, Commodore ROD-
GERS.---The statement of the Commodore is, that
he fell in -with the Orpheus, in company with a
British 74, and being anxious to tilt- her mettle,
he did every thing in his power to entice her
from her companion 'to a distance, but without
success.! The two British ships 'would not sepa-
rate, hut gave chase together, which induced him
to make all the sail he could to avoid so unequal
a contest ! ! !
THE PITT CLUB.--;WC arc happy to find that
Institutions, in honour of 'our late wise and vir-
tuous Statesman, are multiplying over that empire

tially contributed to preserve. A Meeting was

ATHOLL in the Chair, when some Resolutions

passed unanimously.
