There were no papers received from the Con.
tinent in the courfe of yeferday or this morn
ing, but there were abundance of runours in
circulation refpecting the intended operation of
the French and Ruilian armies on the Cont
nent.
1t was reported on the authority of the n,af-
tiers of fome fhps arrived in the river, that con-
fderable body of Rufiians had landed on the
northern coat of Holftein, and that the French
had taken polieliion of all the principal towns
and ftrong petitions in the fouthern part of that
Duchy. If any credit be due t. information re-
ceIVed in 10 vague and Objectionable ihape, the
opPoilng armies have mott probably meafured
their reciprocal ftrength with each other before
TINS time. But we cannot attach much belief
to the hrft of thofe reports. We are perfuaded
that Ruiiia will not proceed TO actual hoftity
until the departure of her representative at Pa
RS ihali be officially known at the Court of Pc
teribursh; a communication which can fcarce.
ly be made before the middle of this month";
The latter report is much more confident; IL is
not unlikely but the French might, as brer0n-
fi0ndry meafure have occupied fome' OF the
commanding petitions in the Duchy but that
very circumference contains in il the feeds .5E a
war with Sweden, Rufiia, and mott probably
with Denmark. Whethert has been done with
the concurrence or without previou1y coninlt-
ing that Court the proceeding NUT be equally
ofeniive to Rufia and Sweden. They are
bound to protect the Daniih territory, if it flall
be tyrannically violated and if the occupation
's connyed 1t, Il Sc not 10 be expected ta tfIofc
powers will tamely allow their enemy to pof-

lhe matter of a Danifh vefIel from Tonnin.
gen has declared that a courier from Gen. Ber-
nadotte, commanding the French army in Han
over, had arrived in the capital of Holfein, with
a notification of Prince Charles of Heiie, the
Governor, " that his Duchy would be inn
occupied by French army, lhould
the Danilh government allow Jingle company
OF Ruiiian folders to land there :" but Offering
at the fame time /" to make common cau6 a.
gainit foreign INVADERS"
This we confider more probable than the re-
port OF the actual occupation of that, at pre-
tent, neutral territory. That violation of the
rights of nations may be regarded at mof, for
whenever an open rupture mall take place with
either Ruf1ia or Sweden, it may be expected
that extraordinary Reps will be Immediately Ia
ken by the French army.
