Some letters have been received from a.
mcrica, by the way OF Ireland, by a ,ss:e'
which left New York on the 18th ut. hey
state that the acrimony 'of party has been
carried to the highest pitch in the United
States, and that several duels had oeen
fought BY some Of the leaders in the prlnci-
nal factions, in which lives had been sacri'
feed.
One letter from Ireland, which was trans.
mitted BY express mentions the proposal OF
an embargo 10 congress by MIR. GIl:s' and
that Fill had been Fl AIMED for that purpose,
which had been read first tm~. and Tor
which day was appointed Tor the ssceho
reading. This letter comes from most
respectable quarter, bat notwithstanding the
authority on which it rests, n, correctness
of this statement is very much doubted by
all the mos. considerable merchants here, On
the ground that such an event could not
have occurred without their being aprr!zrd
BY their CORE ,pondents AID by the same
ship in which this intelligence Is said to
have been conveyed. In this situation Z:
things, you must exercise your own judge
ment and must satisfy myself with merely
pointing out the source OF the Intorma-
ton.
A gentleman, who was on the 10Th ut. at
New York, and who has arrived in this city,
had no knowledge of any project for reviv-
ing the embargo 81 stem. A near relation
OF member OF congress, and warm parti-
IAN of the present government, at Washing.
ton INVITES On the 18th uIt. in total ignorance
Of the affair.
Ihave communications. to-day, from the
south of Spain, to the cath uit. and from
the north to the 9th inst. My former let.
tiers from The sea, OF the Spansh govern.
ment, were TO the 2S,h Of last month, and
spoke in very sanguine terms OF the ,mprov.
cd state OF the patriot armies, and OF the
ultimate success Of the Spanish cause.
An American ship, j. is said, with DIES.
patches for general Armstrong a, Paris. in
attempting 10 20 into Havre on .hc s.h inst.
was taken possession OF by French armed
snip, and ssps into another port. Her des.
patches were Forwarded Immediately 20
Paris, hut her crew were not permit.
ted 10 haves any commune a.ion win the
shore. This circumstance is Of us II sufi-
cient proof that no definite arrangement has
yet taken place between America and
France.
Private accounts have hecn received from
Paris to the nth inst. A letter OF tn, lo.h
states, that on The 9Th, l,onsparte md
fresh attack of his epilepsy, which was so
violent as 70 occasion considerable alarm,
for several days. A bulletin of the Oh,
however, pronounced him t.. be rapidly re.
covering from what was called only slight
cold. Hence, doubtless original. d ehe re-
port of his death, as we mentioned on
Thursday. The attack which he had at
Schoenbrunn so severely affected him, that
he is stated to have been actually derangsd
for some time.-Gbbe. -
