NEW YORK, May 22.
Lon don papers to the 9th of April, inclu-
siye, have been received at Boston on Sum
day BY the ship Galen, in 81 days. They
anne unce,h arrival of number Of British
vessels from Embden, &c. some with and
some without c~rgoes. Also many Prus.
sian vessels sent in by the cruizers. A Hag
of trace arrived at Dover on the 7th from
Boalsgne. A paper of the 9th contains
note, stating that the requisite communica-
ton has been made to the foreign ministers
at the courts of Great Britain by Mr.. Fox,
apprising them that the Ems, the Elbe, the
Weeer and Trave have been put in state
of blockade. The trade of Hamburger of
Embden, Lubec and Bremen, and Of those
places carried on through them from prin.
cipal channels. is thus cut off. Much spe.
cuia,ion continues to be excited by the ar
rival of the last flag of truce. But no more
was known of the matter than the fact OF
the arrival of dispatches. This forms all
the data on which the opinions of the pub:
lie respecting the nature OF the commuRl'
cations are built. Many incline to think
that something of peace, as well as the ex.
change Of prisoners, is in agitation.
