This capt. Mix sailed.
By Tho above arrival, we have received |
Bordeaux papers to the 9th November, and
Paris papers TO the isl. The following, on :,
hasty perussl, appear to be the only articles
worth TRANSMITTING. 1t is stated under the
Petersburgh head Of the 5Oth sept. that al
r.0st I'll the English vessels had quilted
CrunSt2slt with the greatest expedition, some
with but half their cai gees, and OTHERS will
out any, under the impression that an embar-
go was tobe laid. The same occurred at Ri
ga. The Russian merchants addressed a

tinue their commercial relations with En-
gland, the answer was, that fer The f,resent,
he did not know Of any thing which was like
~ TO interrupt their usual Course Of business,
but that he was wholly ignorant Of the inten-
tions of the British on that subject.
Accounts from Lower SaXony, as late as
the Goth Oct state, that since the blockade
of the Elbc and Wcser has been raised by the
British, q great number of vessels from the
american states, loaded with colonial pro-
duce, had entered the Elbc. They had no,
yet gone up ~ Hamburg as all merchandise
must be accompanied BY certificates from
Magistrate of the place from whence the
cargo is brought ana attcsted by the French
consul resident there. But as these forinali-
tics could not h:i' been known in America
at the time OF their departure, a decision must
be had before these vessels can be permitted
to proceed further. These arrivals will have
considerable influence in the market.-Pri-
ces at present high.
