Yesterday morning we were informed, that
a ship was N Hampton Roads from London,
in consequence of which we dispatched a
boat down, and han the satisfaction to find
that the ship Powhotan, Capt Cottle. was in
The Roads in AZ days from London By hei.
we have received flies of London papers tc

Of the first Importance
We have confined our extracts for this
paper principally to the official documents
relative 70 war and commerce. War be
tween Russia and Great Britain, has been of
iiclailv announced, and it may possibly be
followed by every continental power, not ex-
eepting Austria, and even Sweden. At the
same time the continent is in a very agitated
state, from the new and extraordinary de-
crees and orders of the great belligerent
powers.
Although we have delayed the publication
OF our paper, we are only enabled to present
part ofthe various orders of council OF the
British government, modifying, explaining.
aud abating the rigor of the order of the 11th

We have had only time to give very
hasty perusal to our papers, from which we
notice that the fate of Portugal isyet unde-
cided, but from an article in the Paris Mont
teur, we conclude that Portugal has fallen
under the displeasure of France, for permit
ting the English property to leave that coun-
try. Spain is in the most distracted state,
the late conspiracy is supposed 20 be moth
ing more than Continuance TO give new
dynasty to that country.

more 1t is believed from accident than de-

Three of fhe Russian ships parted from
those that went into the Tagus, and had not
been heard of after the gale.
Sir Sidney Smith had arrived before is
bon, and another British division was OH the
point of sailing for the same place, but for
what object the London prints differ much.
The British forces are stated to have eva
cuated Egypt and Sicily.
Provisions in Portugal were very scarce
and dear, Flour was at 10 2-5 dollars per
barrel, and likely to rise.
Letters from Holland to England, stated
that serious disputes had arisen between orr
Minister at Paris Mr.. Armstrong, and the
French government, on account of the latter.
having demanded that the u States should
exclude British commerce from their ports !;
that Mr.. a. had renewed his advice TO the
