whole Of forty persons, and he had obtain
ed, it is added, passports from the emperor
to facilitate bis design. By gentleman
who has arrived in France, this informatior
I is in a great degree confirmed, and we learr
{ that it had long been the intention Of Lu
ciento quit the eastern hemisphere, where
he fcould only be second 10 his brother
whom he conceived to be subordinate, ane
to be indebted to him for the imperial dia
dem he wears. It is reported tha. Lucirr
had amassed an immense treasure, eonsi
derabe portion of which he has deposited
on board the ship in which he takes his
farewell of Europe.
All the American property coniiscateel il
the ports Of France, Holland, Italy, and
Spain, as we'll as the ships conveying il
had been sold, and the proceeds placed CIR
depot. There was not the lest ground to
believe that Napoleon would on the 1st No.
vember next, repeal the Berlin and Milan
DEGREES, as proposed in the official letter OF
the French minister Of marine 10 general
Armstrong. This suggestion was treated
as it had been considered in England, mere
ly as an Elusive ostenta,ion Of a pacific dis
position, for the purpose of inducing the U.
States to take measures hostile TO Great Br.
tain. This gentleman also supports The ru-
NOR of the peremptory recall of Junot, Bel
lard, and Mcdonald, they having fallen
under the displeasure Of the emperor, in
consequence Of some representations, or
presentations, by the Prince OF Es-
ling.
The left banks of the Upper Elbe, up to
We!le' Ll,gh or Torgan, are to be occupied
by the French troops, for the purpose Of
preventing all trade in colonial produce,
and additional measures Of risor have for
the same purpose been ordered by the court
of Denmark.
Gen. Armstrong is recalled from France
in order to fill situation IN the American
government A Mr.. Russell remains at
Paris. as charge d'aiaires for the United
States.

Paris papers to the 10Th instant arrived
last night. The principal articles which
they present are two reports from Massena
to Berthier, containing some further details
respecting the tall of Almetla. From one
Of these it appears that 1900 of the Portu,
guese militia which, by the terms Of the
capitulation, we. e 10 have returned 70 their
homes, have by their own consent been Ia
ken into the French service The cl-devant
Portuguese commander, the marquis D'A
lourna, was the agent employed by Massr-
ma TO corrupt the Portuguese prisoners.
Some OF the private accounts received by
the Go,tenburgh mail Of yesterday are high
ly interesting. Il appears certain that Ma
poleon had actually applied to the Danish
government for permission TO occupy lea
land, not with $4,000, but with $4,000
men and it appears equally Certain that
the king of Denmark has given a peremp-
tory refusal. What will this lead TO?
That Napoleon has planned he sunJuSa' |
ton Of all the Northern powers, or what
amounts to the same thing, to set aside tne
present reign;ng families, and to elevate ms
own creatures to their SoverelgnIies, mas
long been apparent to tho.e who have stu 7
died his character and attlons. VIII the |
refusal of the king Of DENMARK to permit
the passage Of his troops thro' Holstein al
ter his views? We think not. Indeed, |
by the accounts brought By this mail, this
appears already to be the cac.
One OF the letters OBSERVES, that Frede-
rick William, oppressed with the humliat
ing state Of dependence to VI lch he was re-
duced, had actually proposei to Napoleon
to resign his crown; to with measure, it |
is said, the French ruler was not prepared
to accede.
