We do not believe there is any foundation for
the report of an embargo having been laid in the
French ports--CUxrier
Private letters from Paris state, that the new
Empress is disliked by many persons at Court
tor her pride She shews her resentment to all
persons in the least degree implicated in the un
happy catastrophe OF Louis XVI Several per.

This morning Spanish and Portuguese papers
were received, the former to the 18th, and the
latter to the 18th ult. No action has taken place
between the British and French armies, but the
advanced parties have had frequent skirmishes
The Spanish papers mention several instances in
which successful attacks have been made b.
small Spanish corps, upon detached parties of the
French
We this morning received German papers TO
the 24,h inst. The rumours of the defeat of Il .
Russians by the Turks, continue to be circulated,
but neither date nor any particulars mention.
ed we are therefore, Inclined to doubt the truth
of the statement According to other accounts,
the Porte has manifested wish for peace with
Russia, and has applied to France 10 act as med
ator. GOODNESS appears TO have taken place be-
tween the courts of Petersburgh and Vienna, in
consequence of some regulations which the for
uner has adopted in Wallachia. Tue appearance
of the British feet in the Baltic seems to have ex-
cited considerable alarm, and orders have been
issued at Berlin for military force to protect the
coast. The Court of Denmark has issued or
der for excluding American ships from Danish
ports.
The English fleet is stated to have desisted
from its attacks upon Kalamazoo & Chiovzi bu
our cruizers are represented as so numerous IL
,he Adriatic, that not barge can sail witho
running an imminent risk OF capture.
