THE EVENING srA.

inhere we have received numerous letters from oar Friends, iii-
feendng us that the Ncwfpaper Agents, by whom their Papers
are forwarded into the country, often fubititute others for
Tna STAR. This is a fp.:cies of impottlon to which sue
mamma only can apply the proper remedy. Let them write
tatheir prefsnt Agents to direontinue reeving them, and on in-
broth: us we hull give their orders to Motormen, who do
hat practice the fame fraud. If they do not know the name of
the Agent, la them dircontinue to take the fubilltuted Paper,
'WC the date when they hop, and pay only up to that time,
landing as notice to provide them with another Agent.

It is very generally believed in the political circles
that a confidetable French force, naval and military,
has by this time reached India. Their exultation, at
efcaping our fleets on the coact of Europe, will, we
hope, be but fhort lived.

FOREIGN MAILS.
The journals due by the Hamburgh Mail, which
obght to hale arrived on Wednefday, have been re•
teived by way of Hull.

Four Gottenburgh Mails have alto arrived fince
our laft, but they bring little news.
In the preceding columns we have given every
thing worthy of notice brought by thefe conveyances,
and a few articles extracted front the French Papers
received on Saturday.

This day the Hamburgh Mail, due yefterday, came
to band.
There is no truth in the report circulated two days
ago of the King of Noss's having been atTaffinated.
It is true, however, that great difcontent prevails at
Berlin, and that violent diflentions diftraft the Court.
M. Hattowrrz has now the foie and uncontronled
Any of the Councils of Pruffia. Baron HAnDIW.
BIRO announced to the Foreign Minifters on the teth
" that his Majefty had given him permiffion
to retire to his eftates for an walratited period." We
mentioned Tome days ago, that this able Stateftnan
was about to withdraw with difguft from a Court,
which had not fufficient energy to adopt his counfels,
and which allowed itfelf to be infulted by the daily
and official abufe of its Minifter.

In the North of Europe every thing Items to indi-
cate war. The condua of Pruffia cannot be viewed
with complaifatice by the Northern Courts. France
lona fupport Pruffia ; and Raffia makes great pre-
parations to defeat the views of both. The Berlin
intelligence of the tgth mentions that General 'CALK-
lents, whole corps was affembled on the borders
of Swediffi Pomerania, had received orders to hold
hitnfelf ready to march at an hour's notice. There
orders and demonilrations do not appear to have

given much alarm to the Swedes, who, infixed of
retreating, are advancing nearer to the centre of the
Hanoverian territory. The corps which had been
quartered at Ratzeburgh has moved forward to Buk-
hen, where, fo long as it shall continue, the Port of
Lubeck cannot be Paid to be doted againft the trade
of England.

that the other Powers lhould for that reafon counte-

It is not likely that Denmark will be prevailed on
to become the enemy of England ; and without her
aid the Sound cannot be Phut againft us. She has
every thing to dread from England, RufGa, and
Sweden, and comparatively nothing from France and
PrafGa. The only vulnerable point by land is Hot-
Agin, and fhe has an army of 50,00 e men ready for her
defence. We treat therefore with extreme diftruft the
rumours of her having joined Pruffia againft us.

The French feem determined to attempt driving
the Ruffians from Cataro and Cane Nuovo. Auflria
has granted permiflion to a French army to march
through Frioul to Dalmatia, to join their forces al.
ready in that quarter.
The following are the principal articles of news
received by the Hamburgh Mail of this day:
AUGISURCH, Arm. to.—The exchange of eon.
rice s between Paris, Munich, and Vienna, is fo incef-
rant, that yeflerday, in the courfe of five hours, (even
paired through this place.
Marfbal Berthier, Minitler at War, remains at Mu-
iiich. The late events appear to have retarded his
departure.
FROM THE BANKS or THR LICH, APRIL 12 —The
departure of Marfbal Soult from Bavaria is again
countermanded. It is laid at prefent, that his corps
has received orders to march to Dalmatia, and will
be followed by that of General Marmon', which is in
Ifiria.

H•MBUatOM, Aram v.—Letters have been re-
ceived here, which affect, that an Englifh fquadron of
fix fail of the line has palled the Sound, to cruise in

the Baltic.

It appears decided that Holland will be given to
Noce Louis Bonaparte, wh6 will take the title of
Doke. A Deputation is charged with offeting the

Batat,ian Republic to that Prince, who it is believed
will itclt retitle it.

The embargo laid in England on the PrufGan (hips
will do great injury to the trade of that country.—
All the commifGons that had been given for the en•
fuing mummer goods, hive been countermanded.—
We, however, flatter ourfelves that the Englifb will
not blockade the PrufGan ports.
LA uamas a a, APRIL 6.—Count Lowenhe iffl, who
commands the Swedifh troops in this country, has
removed his head quarters from Ratzeburg to Bo-
ehen, nearer to this city.
Bt auto, Arai:. s.—His Majeffy has been pleafed
to give the Porte &with of the Minifter of Foreign
Affairs to Count Haugwitz. Prince Henry, and ,
Major Hack, his Adjutant, are gone to Drefden. 1
Yefterday Baron Hardenberg tranfmitted the fol-
lowing Note to the Diplomatic Corps:.••••‘' Theun-
derfigned Cabinet and State Minifter having received
permilEon from his Majefty to retire to his effates for
an unlimited petiod, and as the return of Count
Haugwitz to Berlin has enabled him to avail himfetf
of this permiftion, he has the honour to inform your
Excellency of the fame, &c." 4
On Sunday, in the afternoon, the two Minifters,
Count Haogwitz and Baron Hardenberg, bad.. con-
ference which lafted feveral hours : and, in tbe after-
noon, Count Haugwitz had his firft audience of his
Majefty.

We learn, that Lieutenant General italltreuth has
again received orders to hold his corps in readinels to
snatch at an hour's notice.

Aran. 19.— AG Englith Courier has brought in-
telligence to the Britilh Minitler here, of the embargo
laid upon the Pratllan thips : we are :awed that three
have already been taken in the North Sea.

His Royal Highnefs the Duke of Sussex is men.

In the fame circles His Royal Highnefs the Duke

The 92d Highland regiment are arrived in Dublin.
A divifion of the light dragoons belonging to the
King's German Legion, arrived in Dublin from Li.
verpool—they were marched to Shelborne Barracks.
New York papers have been received to the 14th
ultimo. They have furnifhed us with the following
additional particulars relative to the vidoty of Sir
JON,. DUCKWORTH 1--•
Captain Pildurros, of the American brig Man.
was at St. Domingo with his veffel at the time of the
anion. He informs his owners, that when the Eng.
lifh fleet hove in fight, great bodies of the French
(cameo were on Shore procuring wood and water; in
confequence of which the French (hips did not get
under weigh till feven o'clock, and had not formed
their line till nine. He States, that when the beadmoß
Britifh Ship commenced the engagement, the fuftained
the fire of the whole of the French Chips for upwards
of twenty minutes, and before the others came up,
the was entirely difsnalied ; but when her coadjutors
arrived, they made a dreadful retaliation. The
French Admiral mißaking, from the fmoke, the
Alexander for an enemy's (hip, fell upon her, and
cut away all her malls by the board. At this
time two Englifh Ships ran alongfide the French Ad-
miral, and poured in fo heavy a fire, that the upper
decks, from the weight of metal, from the main
hatchway forward, fell upon the lower decks and
crufbed many of the crew to death. The Admiral
then ran his !hip on the rocks, and the DIOMEDE fol-
lowed his example. All the French (hips fought
bravely except le Brave, and She (truck on the third
broadfide. The Imperiale's crew confined at the
time of the aCtion of 1350 mcn, of which only 120
have forvived. The DIOMEDI had 250 killed before
fie went afhore, and many were drowned and killed
by attempting to climb the rocks. The American
Captain law the whole of the engagement from the
top of a houfe on an elevated fpot.
Captain PIMBIRTOII obf , that the defeat of
the French has been the prefervation of the trade of
St. Domingo, as they were avowedly going upon a
plundering expedition along the coati, for the purpofe
of dettroyirg the Brigand ports, and confifcating or
burning all the veffels which they contained. He
concludes his letter with Slating, that the people of
St. Domingo were in great connernation about ann.
ther Englills fleet which appeared off the harbour at
the time he was writing. They conceived that there
mutt have been anotho. engagement to windward,
as a French line of battle (hip, not belonging to Ad-
miral Lass asoua's divifion, was off the harbour dig%
maned, and an Englifh fleet was heaving in fight
with a 74 difmaned.
From Bolton papers to the 9th ult. we learn, that
the good fenfe of the people of America is beginning
to prevail over that faction which has laboured to in.
volve them in a war with thislountry.
The exports from America, of her own produce
and manufactures, during the laft year, was valued at
42,205,961 dollars, of which this country took
16,459,766, being more than a third part of her en.
tire produce. Of her exports, generally, Britain and
her colonies took 27,063,277 dollars ; France and her
colonies, 8,245.013 ;—Holland and her colonies
5,523,423 ; and Spain and her colonies 4433539.
Saturday we received a packet from Antigua, and
force other Wen India papers to the loth ult. but
they are wholly filent as to the French fquadron re-
cently arrived in that hemifphcre.
The Agamemnon, Sir E. BERRY. was re-fitting at
