PHILApELPKIA, Sept. 90.
Arrived, ship Superior, captain Butler, 81
days from Liverpool with full cargo of dry
goods. Capt. Butler sailed the 10th August,
and brings nothing later than already receiv
ed.
1t is reported by the Superior, that Bona
Parte had returned to Paris. This is not like
ly to have occurred so soon.
American produce had experienced consi-
derable rise in England, in consequence of the
well grounded expectat on that Immediately on
hearing OF the rejection of Mr.. Erskine's ar
rangement, this government would revive the
provisions of the non-intercourse.
BY this arrival the Editors of the Freeman's
Journal have files of London papers to the 9TH
August inclusive: A few extracts follow:
LONDON, August z.
paper OF this morning, after stating that
Prince Staremberg received dispatches from
his court on Saturday, expresses its belief that
they,inform his exc'y I" of his imperial males
ty being reduced to the deplorable necessityof
accepting whatever peace Napoleon may be
disposed to grant him"
Q-S So far from this being the case, we un.
derstand that his exceliency has not received
any intellis ence whatever from the continent,
and certainly rejects with indignation the as
sertson that his sovereign is reduced to ne.
cessity 50 Illuminating.
The following are some further particulars
IN addition to those we have given in another
part of our p per.
Inc Earl of Chatham, with bravery worthy
OF the name OF PITT, was in the first boat that
landed. His Lordship praises highly in his
dispatches the conduct of all the troops, par
ticularly the brigade under Lord Paget and
major general Graham.
The number ofo our killed in the action at
Flushing amounts to al i; wounded 1874 and 81
missing.
The amount of the garrison in Flushing is
1000 men. But it was so closely invested ia at
It's almost i'm mediate surrender was expected
when the dispatches were sent of.
Whilst these important and successful ope-
rations We're going forward against Walche
rem, by the Portsm luth division of the expe III
ton, the brigade under the command OF gene
raj Hope was employed in the capture ofScho-
wen and North and Sou h B.veland, which
services 1t com lietely effected; and we are
happy TO say. that notwithstanding the disad-
vsntages under which an army acts on landing
upon an hostile coast, the loss our part up to
the evening Of Thursday last (the date of the
disDatches) did not exceed 300 killed, woun-
ded and missing.

"The fate OF Austria seems decided on

the French, and on the 18th, an armisticc was
concluded; indeed 1t appears by recent ac-
counts from the continent. that's treaty ofpeace
has actually been signed. Be this as it may J.,

France in the North ofEurope will remain un-
dininishedj indeed ia the expectation there
Of the value of the exports Of the Baltic is al.
ready materially enhanced. The ports Of We

general expectation is that they will be shut
towards the close Of the present year. Not
withstanding the reverses which the Austrians
have met with, the British expedition has sail

originally Intended, viz the making Of de-

been received OF the operations OF this arma-
