CONTINENTAL JOURNALS.

Dutch papers to the 21st October, containing Pa-
ris news to the 16th, have been. received ; also Ham-
burgh papers—but their date is nor so recent.
The accounts from Erfurth are dated the sth, and
contain nothin remarkable ; but it appears from an
article dated Hamburgh, October the 14th, that a
Treaty has been concluded between France and
Prussia, under the mediation of Russia. The parti-
cular terms are not disclosed, but it is said that Bo-
NAPARTE has remitted a considerable part of the con-
tributions levied on the Prussian States. It is hinted
that BONAPARTE has granted favourable terms, in
consequence of a letter written by the Queen of PROS-.
SIA to the Emperor ALEXANDER ; and it is not a little
curious, that the Corsican should take upon liimselr
to reply to that letter. It is said, that he wrote an
answer to her Prussian Majesty, with his own hand,
and acceded to all her wishes. The intelligence from
Spain is not important.—BowApAitru was expected
' at Paris before the end of October.
Letters from Pillau, of the 9th October, confirm
the intelligence previously received, that an embargo
had been laid on all vessels in the ports of Russia.
The most rigorous measures are resorted to, to pre-
vent the exportation of any Russian produce. The
letters announcing this event, received at Palau from
St. Petersburgh, were under the date of September 27.

By this conveyance accounts have been received,
which we should have had great phAsure in repeat-
ing, did we not know that, unhappily, they are alto-
gether unfounded. A letter, dated Banks of the Elbe,
30th September, states that a courier had arrived there
on the preceding day, with intelligence that the whole
of the Russian fleet in Port-Baltic, excepting three
ships, bad been destroyed &c. by the combined British
and Swedish fleets! !—Need we remind our Readers
that not only the regular mails from Gottenburgh,
but even Official Dispatches, brought by the FANCY
gun-brig, have announced the breaking up theblocka de.
The same letter, speaking of the Imperial confe-
rence at Erfurth, says that its object is to settle still
farther the fate of Germany and Italy, to arrange
the affairs of Spain and Portugal, and to make pro-
posals of peace to England. Should England refuse
to accede, " the Russian expedition against the Bri-
t tish possessions in India is immediately to go for-
" ward !"—So much for German speculations.

On Sunday morning the consecration o? Doctor
MAtisia.L, the Master of Trinity College, Cambridge,

" Of their resolution and valour I have been a con.
stant witness, and have ever seen them as great in
their resolves, as noble in their deeds. The happiness
of my days will be that in which I shall inform our

their fidelity, their valour, and their loyalty ; and
the ardent affection with which they adore him. But,
till that day arrives, what they have done shall not
