ANOTHER LETTER.

" Cart, Lune 16.

u The embarkation at this port is now proceeding
ea great expedition and regularity. Yesterday the
sdi battalion of the 60th embarked at 11Onkstown ;
three regiments embarked here this morning, viz.
the sth, 38th, and 91st ; the 71st have not, as was
elected, yet left this city, but will with the 9th,,
which marched in here this morning, and the 4th
veteran battalion, embark to-morrow. 'Sir ARTHUR
Wytt.E•LEr is hourly expected in this city, to take
fee command of the whole."

Letters from Boston to the 10th, and Halifax to
the 26th ult.'were received yesterday. The former
ste, tha; the Americans were quite reconciled to,
rather highly approved, of the Embargo. They
sae, it appears, fitting out gun-boats in different
parts, for the purpose of convoying their ships in the
eciastinglrade, in order, as sonic letters state, to
prevent the Embargo from being violated, as it fre-
quently has been, by ves‘.'ls which professed to have
merely a coasting voyage in view ; or, according to
other letters, to protect their coasters from our crui-
ses, who are said to have lately captured several of
them, and sent them to the West India Islands. Of
these captures the American Merch ants areunderstood
badly to complain. The letters from Halifax dwell
particularly upon the scarcity of timber to supply
oar shipping, which sought a loading of that article.

Letters from Holland to the 15th instant are in
town, but their contents are not important. It is
said they mention sk;rmishes between the Spanish
Patriots and the French troops, in which, after some
'laughter, the former were defeated and dispersed.
