SIR,
"The brig Albatross arrived here this
morning from London, bringing papers to
the 8th of March have not had an op
portunity of persuing regular file but on
looking into one or two detached papers
discover that Mr.. Whitbrea d in the House
OF Comm had made a motion similar to
that OF Lord Grenviile in the House of
Lords, for an address to the king, reoues.
ting him TO rescind the orders in council.
The debate was remarkably animated:
but the motion was negatived, I45 to 80.
Some persons at Londonderry had me-
morialiscd Parliament against the Ameri-
can Government for OBTAINING Flaxseed,
which the memorialists say they had
bought, paid for, and shipped in America
previous 20 the embargo.
"Fhe Treaty between Britain and Tur.
key had been received in England.
"Russia was still expected 20 oppose
Banaparte's plans on Austria.
"Ths Rocheiort squadron had made
some movement towards the sea, having
proceeded to the isle OF AK. They con.
sisted OF eleven sail ofthe line and frigates.
Four OF the frigates had got on shore. Adj

our regular file of London papers to the
evening OF the 4sh of March. The pa
per OF the last date, which is one day la
ter than our former advices, is wholly
barren of intelligence. The two follow.

LONDON, March 4.
The opinion that war Will i IA m iiateIy
take place between France and Austria.
appears TO be prevalent in almost every
part of the Continent. The return of Bo.
naparte from Spain, and his Journey to
Germany, the movement of the French
troops, and finally the order which he has
given 10 his Vassal Princes belonging to the
Confederation of the Rninc, are circun.
stances which appear to US almost decisive
upon the subject. Bonsparre aas viewed
with considerable uneasiness the military
preparations which Austria has been for
some tine making, and vail probably pre-.
cipitate the contest, with the view OF over
whelming her before her ARRANGEMENTS
are completed.
Sir A, Wellesley, with ths manliness
| which belongs to mis- characters, ea.ctually,
detepdfd Ministers last night, on the charge
that thsy had not sent sufficient body of ca
vairy to Portugal, of stating that their view
at hrst was to carry On Course of opera
tons on the Tagus, out that he had chan-
ged the plan to Moatcgo-Bay, and there
tore the responsibility lay wholly on him.
he again lam:nted that his superiors in
command had not had sufficient confidence
IN hin to adopt the measures he recon-
mended.
