"Some persons at Vienna considered the
departure ofeAndreossi favorable to peace,
and belieYesthat his presence at Paris may
be serviceable. At least, it is believed that
hostilities wlllnot be commenced till the re-
ceipt OF the first dispatches after his arrival
at Paris from Vienna. Gen. Andreossl, on
the 28th February, had an audience OF his
majesty, and the day before his departure
dined with the minister, Count Stadion.
"The king of Wirtemberg issued, on
the 9th of March, an order that all his sub
iects who were out OF the country should
return home, on penalty ofhaving their pro-
perty sequestered.
Its said that the duke OF Auestadt,
(Davoust) is appointed commander in chief
of the French army in Germany, which, III
Guiding the troops of the Confederation Of
the Rhine, amount to 10000 men, and that
the head quarters are removed to Wurtz-

Mocoa. arrived in Moea roads on the 18th
Sentember last. Immediately after his ar
rival the admiral demanded Of the Poltu-
euese governor a surrender OF the place,
which was peremptorily refused him, and
nothing further respecting it, than negocia-
tons took place till the Goth, when about
three hundred soldiers, with two or three
pieces of artillery were landed and put In
possession of one of the forts.
Previous to the landing of the troops, adj
mirai Drury had made every preparation of
the boats and men belonging to his squadron,
for taking the town by assault, to prevent
which the governor consented that there
should be no opposition to the landing OF the
troops, and that they might garrison the forts
upon which, however, they were not permit
ted to hoist English colors.
The Chinese now iaterfered and ordered
admiral Drury to leave the place allcdging
that he had made an encroachment upon the
territory Of the empire which could not be
submitted TO. He persisted in keeping his
troops on shore, and declared his determine
tion to hold the town at all hazards. LII con-
sequence, the ~vice-roy Of the province issued
an order on the 25th Sept. forbiddlng the
landing of any cargoes from, and sending any
on board, the English ships, of which there
were forty or fifty lying at Whampoa. An
entire suspension Of trade ensued, and con-
tinucd three months, during which time the
admiral visited Canton, attended by all the
boats and two thousand men from the ships.
The object Of this visit was to obtain an in
teryicw with the vice-roy, who haughtily re-
fused 10 admit him into his presence, and
treated him with contempt.
On the 10th Nov. admiral Drury ordered
all the English subjects TO quit Canton in three
days, and repair on board the ships Of their
nation at Whampoa. Ten Days alter, ne at
tempted another visit to Canton with the
launches and other boats Of the fleet strongly
armed, but was driven back by the Chinese,
who had stationed some man Of war janks )
or s miles below the city, where the boats
were fred at and stopped.
From this time till the 10th of December,
all communication between Canton and he
ships at Whampoa, and all supplies of proyi-
sions were strictly forbidden, and no English
man was suffered to remain in Canton, OF re-
turn to that city. One gentleman in attempt
ing to get there by stealth, was discovered,
carried into the city, and there kept in con-
fnemcnt during the continuance of the diff
culties.
Finding that his expeaients to induce the
Chin Sc to COnniyc at or consent to his hold
ing Mocoa, were Intellectual, the admiral "a
banGoned the enterprise, Withdrew his troops
aud left Mocoa for Bengal about the first day
Of January last. AS this was a compliance
with the conditions required by the Chinese,
the trade with The English was renewed.
