had been arrested. Rigorous measures had likewise
been adopted in some of the Russian ports.
The above articles of intelligence are from private
sources, but it is still more difficult to attain at any
thing like certainty in our peculation: respecting the
future policy of Russia from toe foreign journals.—
The following, however, is a sketch of their con-
tents:—Great changes are taking place in the naval
department of Russia. Admiral Da DOW, the com-
mander at Archangel, has been dismissed, and Ad-
miral SPIRIDOW, horn Revel, succeeds hint. sludmiral
SINIAVIN is appointed to command at Ravel. The
report of Peace between Russia and Turkey is not
only expressly contradicted, but most active hostilities
ale going on, and a great and decisive battle was ex-
pected to talc?. place, on the arrival of the GRAND
VIZ= to command in person, and he wasexpeetod
every hour. A strong cordon of troops has been
stretched along the frontiers of Russia, and no mer-
chandise, nor even travellers, are to be allowed to
pass without especial permission.—This looks rather
warlike.

The mist rigorous measures have been resorted to
at Franckfort to prevent the traffic in English goods,
and the unfortunate dealers are even threatened with
military punishment.
The following article announces the arrivalef a large

Monitturi, and other Paris papers of the 11th and
12th instant, reached town yesterday, from which we
have extracted General BREMER'S account of his
escape from Almeida.

Letters were received yesterday from New Orleans,
dated the 27th April. The stagnation of commerce
from the accumulated difficulties it had met with in
other parts of the world, had frustrated the views of
the adventurers in this promising settlement.
A vessel is arrived at the Isle of Wight from Monte
Video, which place she left on the 16th of April.--
One of the passengers has written to his friend in
London, giving an account of a dispute of a very dis-
agreeable nature which took place at Monte Video,
between Captain ELLtor, of the Porcupine, and Ge-
neral &rig which terminated in the former withdraw-
ing with the whole of the British shipping from the
River Plata to Rio Janeiro. He further states, that
the British merchants resident in Buenos Ayres were
packing up their effects to depart, and expected to be
able to quit that place by the Ist of May, as, from the
critical state of affairs their situation there became
every day more perilous.

This morning, soon after eight o'clock, a dreadful
fire broke out at an oilman's in Bury-street, St. Mary
Axe. From the commencement of the fire, there
was no supply of water for more than one hour and
a half : In consequence of which, the oil warehouse,
as well as a commercial academy, were soon burnt
to the ground. Many other boosts quickly caught
Ere, ,ltd the flames extended to Btiry Court where
they burnt with great force, soon laying waste nearly
the whole of Bury Court.—A library in the court
was saved, as well as the furniture under the same
roof, by the exertions of a Gentleman, whose name
we could not learn. About half past eleven no water
could be procured. The houses, of which no less
than eight have been destroyed, continued to blaze
at twelve with unabated fury.
liaran.—There being no Court of Aldermen to-
day, the Lard Mayor, after inspecting. the returns,
