Leyden, WoV. 9.=The Paris papers of
the Sd and 5th inst. received here afford no
intelligence in any degree interesting to TO-

cles they contain are the arrival in that ca

annunciation of the shortly expected return
into the territory of the empire of 100, 900
French troops, who at this moment are ira

crossing the Rhine, and direct their march
towards Brussels from whence, according
to all appearances, they will proceed TO oc-
cupy anew the camps at Bologne. Almost

An early hour yesterday morning from St
Petersburgh. Mr.. Canning, Lord. Null
grave, and several other ministers were
Immediately sent for, and remained in con-

which, messengers were sent off from the

The dispatches from 1t. Petersburgh
were sent from that place on the morning
OF the 9Th ult. at which time no embargo
had been laid upon the British shipping IN
the ports of Russia. 1t appears that about
90 sail of British vessels remained at Cron.
stadt, most of which were loaded on the
Slst October. There were So British ships
at Riga; and on the 23d, the river at Arch.
angel was frozen over, and no British YES.
sells remained there,
