Mr. STUART WORTLET paid a visit last Tuesday

The Russian circumnavigator, Kaysstesune, in
the relation of his voyage round the world (recently
published in Russ and German) gives a faithful ac-
count of the failure of the principal object of his ex-1
pedition, which was to establish commercial relations
between Japan and -Russia. " The Emperor of
JAVAN (he says) caused it to be notified to the Com-
missioners whom I carried, that his subjects traded
only with the Dutch and Chinese. As to the Rus-
sians, he begged them to return to their own coun-
try, and, if they valued their lives; never to come
back." The two vessels in which Captain Rause:4-
mm" performed his voyage were called the Neva and
the Nadessa ( Hope): they were English built, and
all the equipments of his sailors were purchased in
this country.

at Dunkirk. Among the goods were 176,941 pieces
of nankeens and muslins, and 6278 silk shawls,
handkerchiefs, &c. A part of this merchandize had
been seized in June 1811, on board the Nancy, an
English smuggler, Captain Tuotess PATRIDGE, and
confiscated by the French tribunals on the 10th of
the same month. The Captain was imprisoned some
days, and is to be under the cognizance of the po-
lice three years.
