FRANC/CrORT, Aug. 22.—The commerce of the
North of Germany begins to take a different direc.
tion. The rivers Elbe and Weser being shut against.
the English, they have resorted to Lubeck for car..
eying on their trade with the States of the Empire.
With this view they send, small fleets of Merchant
ships, under.i convoy of some Frigates or Sloops,
through the Sound into the BaltioSea, which un.
load to the little port of Trav'emprtie, belonging.
to the town of Lubeck. Their merchandizes are ,
conveyed to the Welly of Mecklenburgh, and
other parots of Germany, without reaching the Ha..
novetian Territories : but as they are afraid that
the French will 'detach a .2.orps of Troops from
Lauenburgb to take possession of Trapepruade,' they
have secured another and a safer route i, and the
English Ships now unload in the Port of Stettin, in
Pomerania, whence their cargoes are transported on
the cd, r, by the canal of Zenortvi.tch, :whence they
enter the navigable rivers Of 'Spree :Ina Nava, and
afterwards into the Mhz!, try the. canal of Plum::
This passage is, . liwever,, attended with many
difficatics, and it is supposed that the merchaudizes
will speedily,be intercepted, by the French. . . I
