THE CONTINENT.

German Papers to the 2d, and Journals and Letters
from Holland to the 6th, containing Paris news to
the Ist instant, have been received.

The projected interview of NAPOLEON and ALEX-
ANDER is still the theme of Continental Editorship.
The latter reached Custrin on the 24th tilt. where
Marshal Souvr had previously arrived to congratu.
late him ; and, after having reviewed the French
troops assembled there on the occasion, proceeded on
his journey to Weimar. On the same day BONAPARTE
passed through Keiserslantern on his way to Erfurth,
where, say the Paris Journals, many Princes will be
assembled on the occasion of the meeting between the
two Emperors. Great importance is very naturally
:attached to this meeting, the result of which, it is ob-
served, may involve the fate of nations !—ln our
humble opinion, Don CEVALLOS has furnished the
world with a text, from which some apt and happy
illustrations might be drawn, to give interest to the
approaching festivities ; Rnd, we earnestly hope, that
means have already been adopted for its diffusion
over every district of the Continent.

It is said that there has been a serious riot in the
City of Brunswick, between the French gnu d'armes
and some citizens, in which the former were severely
handled. The town of Brunswick has, in consequence,
received a great number of troops, and the matter,
say the accounts from Germany, is to be further in-
vestigated—that is, the town will be given up to mi-
litary execution. Such are the statements of the poli-
ticians of Hamburgh and its vicinity, in manurcript ;
we know not how much more to be depended upon
this is, than what appears in the same part of the
world in print.

According to the public statements from Vienna,
All is harmony with the three Imperial Courts, and
all the military movements of Austria ate only the
I completion of previous details no way connected
with the present state of things ! !—As a proof of
the good understanding between the Courts of St.
Petersburgh and Vienna, it is mentioned that the',
Ambassador of the former, who had been invited to
witness the late coronation of the Empress, had been
accommodated with apartments in the Royal Resi-
dence—but, Reader, mark the cause : he had plead-
ed as an excuse for absenting himself, his inability to
find lodgings ! ! !

PORT-BALTIC.

Some of the letters from Holland state, that
best understanding appeared to subsist betwei.,
Admirals of the British and Russian fleets in the!
tic. The Russian Admiral in Baltic Port had
several interviews with Sir Jaaixs SAUMARIZ,
had dined several times with him."

Recent accounts from our squadron state, that),
negociation had proceeded so far, that Admiral 4
NICKHOOP had been on board the ViCTORT, &riot
SALWAREE'S ship, where he was received with all trt
honours due to his rank, and partook of an iti
gant dinner provided on the occasion. The prem
tions, however, fur destroying the Russian ships w
on notwithstanding these shews of civility. yRt
fire-ships were charged and ready to be sent in, ift:
negotiation should be broken off. Our naval dif, i
macy has been so unsuccessful of late, that we pl 4
much more reliance on Sir JAmEs Snum4nu's Art

ships, or whatever other means he may adopt for ~
noying the enemy, than his interviews with the Rii,
sian Admiral.

In the foreign journals there is a long Ada!
count from the Russian Minister of Marine, re b,
to the late actiott in the Baltic, in which, is ini&
be supposed, thefe is moreof palliation than veracir,i
and, as usual. the blame is laid on the uncontroty,
ble elements, wind and weather, although justioi
done to the valour and perseverance displayed by
British in that partial affair. The statement is bra
means interesting.
