DEATH OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA, &c.

Yellerday late in the afternoon,Captain HEAPIE,
of the DOLPHIN packet, which came from Cux-
haven without mails, arrived in town with an ac-
count of the death of Not. I. Emperor of all the
Ituffias. This event, the particulars of which are
not yet fully known, took place fuddenly on the
z3d ult. He is faid to have gone to bed in his
ufual health, and to have been found dead next
morning.

One of the firfi ads of the new Emperor At R-
A SOF It was, to order all the Britilh vefkls detained
is Ruffia to be liberated. We underhand alfo,
that a moll refpeaable Ruffian lionfe in the city
has received the copy of a proclamation iffized by
the new Government in Ruilia, ordering the fe-
quefiration to be removed from all the Britifh pro-
perty in the Ruffian empire.
A Council of his Ma:jelly's Ministers was rum-
moned to attend this day, in confequcnce of this
important intelligence.

The fleet Hader Sir Hype PARKER attacked Co-
penhagen on the ill inflant, when a moll fevere
and bloody conflia took place, the Cnal refolt of
which is not yet krown. It is confidently reported,
however, to have been favourable to our fleet.

A letter from Cuxhaven, dated 7th init. (fates,
['fat the Danifh fleet had fufrered confidcrablr.
Yellerday after this Paper went to profs, one of
:he Hamburgh Mails arrived, with the important
intelligence of the fleet under Admirals Sir Hynr.
PARKER and Lord Nts.sos having paikd the
Sound on the 3oth ult. without Whining much
damage. As the particulars of this event, owing
to the latcncfs of the hour at which the accounts
were received, could be infested in otly a part of
our impraion, we have this day retuned them
with fome additional circumftances..

Mr. Bassrr the Meffenger arrived yefterday
with difpatelici to the fame purpofe fur Govern-
ment.

We yefierday received the American Papers to
the gth of March. In a paper of that day there
is a Copy of the Speech of Mr. JEFFERSON to the
Lcgillaturc, on taking the oaths of his new office,
which will be found in the preceding columns, and
which cannot fail to be read with great attention
and intcreft.

Private letters Hate, that Mr. MADISON is ap-
pointed Secretary of State ; and Chancellor Lt.
V IN OSTON, Minifter Plenipotentiary to France. Mr.
ADAM s, in quitting the Pre fidenti al Chair, regretted
that the Senate had not ratified the French Treaty
without the exception of the fccond article.

Marquis Coitnwatms has publifhcd a letter to
Sir RicIIARD MUSGRAVE, in which he revokes the
permitiion he had given for that Gentleman to de-
dicate to him his " Hillary of the Rebellions in
Ireland." The Noble Marquis Elates his reafons
for this tevocation in the following words:—" Had
his Excellency been apprifed of the contents and
nature of the work, he would never have lent the
fan&ion of his name to a book which tends fo
thongly to revive the dreadful auimofities which
have fo long difiraFled Ireland, and which it
is the duty of every good fubjea to endeavour to
compofe."
Wc ha% e received lets of the Bombay Courier
to the 22d November. They contain very little
news. It appears the French privateers carry on
their depredations on our trade without molella-
tion. SVRCOUFF, in the Confiance, and DUTERT,
in the Malartic, have made a great many valuable
captures in the EaElcrn has.
Letters received in town yeflerday by the Lif-
bon mail 'late, that a truce has been agreed to be.
tween Spain and Portugal, for a term of four
months. The commercial intercourfe between the
two countries is to be placed on the fame footing
as before the war.

The fidlowing is an extra& of a private letter
from Lifbon, dated the 29th of March :
‘‘ The plate in all our Churches is ordered to a
place of fitfety, upon which money is to be railed.
This and the augmentation of the value of the
copper-coin of the Kingdom, (great quanti-
ties being. in circulation) is expefled to pro-
duce an immenfe fum. The 5 Reis-piece is
to be re-Vamped and made current at to Reis,
and the to Rcis piece is to pals at 20 IteiS.—
The new levies arc carrying on with (pair, none
are exempt capable of bearing arms, or, as the Por-
L tuguefe exprefs it, who can thew a beard, not even
the fons oldie tiro merchants ; 9 t ,oco men are in
arms, and the belt troops arc marching to the ft on-
tiers. Britilh property is in perfea feeitt ity, and to
• ardently do the Portuguele &fire to continue is
amity with that country, and mild. the attempts
of the Great Nation, that the Court is Ending over
Don Loa t•ti7.o or LIMA, fon of the late Premier,
as lsliniller to the Court of London. He is expected
to fail in the next packet. Our Government has
lAO appointed as Conful to the Cape of Good
Hope, Zll4 BF.RTO Ikt:stxc, Efq. of this city. There
are tame other arrangements, the particulars of
which have not yet tranfpircd• The Marquit
