A letter from Gottenburgh of the 18Th, re-
lterates the report that war between Russia
and France is on the eve of taking place. No
thing further had occurred in Norway or Fin
land.
: all the transports that remained in the
Downs, sailed from thence for Portsmouth,
on Friday evening. The expedition is ex-
pcctedto sail from Spithead this day.
Hemp, tallow, and most articles of Russian
produce, experienced considerable reducti-
on in price during the, last week, under ge-
neral impression that our commercial rela,i :
ons with that country will shortly be restored.
The expedition under Sir ]. Moore arrived
| at Spithcad on Wednesday 1t will be vietu-
allied with the utmost activity, and proceed
almost Immediately TO the southwark.
Tie whole of Sir John Moor's staff have
not returned with him. When this distin-
guishcai officer effected his mastery retreat
from Stockholm, he was unfortunately under
the necessity ofleaving Col. Graham and Ma
ior Colboure, his aid-de-camp and military
secretary, behind.
Private letters received from Holland, con-
Donaparte has not absolutely put him in pri-
son. but be has given him an employment
which renders him little better than prison
CIR. He is entrusted with the care Of the late
king and queen q Spain, and as they are con-
fined TO limited space, their goaierls under,
the same restrictions.
Ii is Said that the St Michael, which had
Just arrived from L'Orient with dispatches
for Mr.. Pinckpey, has brought information
that $ Bonaparte will recognise the neutrali-
ty, and place the commerce of the U. States
on the same footing in which it stood before
the late restrictions, provided Great Britain
will consent to do the same. If this be true,
Bonaparte consents to repeal his Milan and
Hamburger DEGREES against commerce. This
country, therefore, will not object to abandon
those measures which we adopted in conss-
auence of his DEGREES.
A gentleman lately come from Paris states.
that before his departure the last battalion of
the Imperial Guards had left that capital for
Spain, and all accounts agree i'll representing
the whole of his disposal force as proceeding
towards the Pyrennes.
The American ship St. Michael, from
L'Orient is arrived at Falmouth, with dis
patches from the American government to
MIR. Pinckney. She sailed from L'Orient on
the 9TH July instant; the captain is in town:
he was at Paris four days before he sailed for
England. He states, delicatsly, that the o.
penly expressed opinions of the people were
by no means favorable to Bonaparte and that
he passed through large bodies OF French
troops on their march TO Spain.
