LA7EsT FROM ENGLAND.
BALTIMORE. Anri

BALTIMORE. April 25.
BY the British barque Esther, arrived at
Philadelphia in 50 days from Liverpool, the
Editor of the Federal Gazette has received
his files of London papers to the evening of
the eighth and Liverpool to ninth March
inclusive. The London Courier is chiefly
devoted to the affairs of the Duke of York.
1t appears from these papers, that a new
war was about commencing; not, perhaps,
between France and Austria alone, as we
observe some uneasiness on the part of Den
mark, Danish vessels in the ports of France
having received secret instructions to slip off
at all hazards. The London papers count
greatly on the influence of the Queen of Prus-
STA in detaching the Emperor of Russia from
France. General Sherbrooke has sailed with
his division from Cork but was forced back
by strong head winds.
Dispatches from Admiral Stopford, and
letters from officers in his fleet, speak conf
IDENTITY of the destruction or capture of most
OF the Brest fleet, now at Rochefort Three
frigates have been much shattered and drove
aground.
In addition to the list of vessels expected
from England, there are twenty ships
and briggs loading at Liverpool for Bri-
fish America. Those taking freight to the
United States, engage to "land the goods in
Canada or Nova Scotia, if our ports shall
have been shut against British manufactures -
Very great quantities of merchandise may
be expected. Fed. Gaz.

mander in chief of the armyof Germany, has
just arrived at Paris.
The expulsion of the English from Spain
has been announced by 20 discharges Of can
nontrom all our ea-ports; 50 that the English
cruizers would soon be informed of it.
The following circular note has been adj
dressed to the princes of the second class Of
the confederation Of the Rhine, by his serene
highuess the prince of Nassau Usingeu:
g His Imperial & royal majesty of France,
has, by writing under his band, invited his
serene highness to make known to the princes
OF the confederation Of the Rhine, the senti-
ments which animate him in favor Of The tran
guilty and repose Of this nation, Of which his
imperial and royal majesty is the powerful
protector.
The Spanish "rmies arc dispersed the
English troops are re-cmbarked after having
lost the half Of their forces, their horses. bag
gage, ammunition, and q great part Of their
treasure.
The Rhenish confederacy has nothing tn
fear; its august protector will defend its IL
mits with more than sufficient force.
The imperial court Of Austria will pro-
badly return to a system on which depends
the general tranquility. Nevertheless, il is
ndlepenslbly necessary. in tue present state
OF affairs, and his imperial and royal males
y desires, that the princes Of The confeGera
cy OF the Ehiue, form their contingents, and
hold them ready to march.
