ACCOVNTs from Russia state, that the . intern- •
'gence of the Capture of the Spanish Treasure Fri.
gates excited emotions at St. Petersburgk, 'when it
.'
was first .known in -that Capital, not very tivour..
'able to the int'oresta,of Great Britain. . Fortunately,
• hoWever, our Ambassador's Courier was accompa..
flied by another from the Russian Ambassador in
this Cennrry, and their Di%patcheseleared away all
doubts as to the propriety of a -,trreasure, which,
'tfitiog-11 apparently. violent, was jurstifini, and even
comm %tided, by the laws of self.'defence.' 'Six days
after the, arrival of the., English and ttssian COL_
tiers, the Spanish Ambassador received Diipatches
from his Court, and liad in consequence several
Conferences with' the Ruiliati Minister of State,
Prince C4Art..roattssu ; and, according to re.

of the atrocious seizure, of ,Sir Gotta RoMitqLo
arrived at St. Petersburgh nearly at the same-

Irrigates, and, was a, fortunate coincidemce.!--
