saSt Ol .oCpt. by tlllS arrival, the Editors OF

f.ondon papers to the 25th of Sept from
Which the following extracts are made.
The King was alive, and remained nearly
as per last adviCeS.
The dates from Spain and Portugal are no
fater than before received, and the English
papers are very barren of intelligence.

louis Bonaparte is not to be found and it is
there supposed he has emigrated to this
country.
BY gentleman who has recently left
Archangel, and arrived in town, we have re-
'ceived the following communication on the
state of affairs in Russia. lie says that most
OF the commerce with that country is now
carried on by the Americans, and that there
were no less than 100 and five Americans
lying at Archangei when he left it. There
were also great number at ST. PetersbuIgh
all laden with colonial produce, an article
which the Russians were in great want of. -
He further states, that the Emperor Alex
'ander has very large army on foot, but ow-
ing to the officers being so badly paid, no re-
Lance could be placed on them, and this is in
n great measure the cause OF his not COM
mencing hostihties against France.

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 8, 1811.-Accord-
5ng to the latest, and, we believe, the best
Information rom Stockholm, it appears that
che French Minister there has been defeated
in his attempts to govern in Sweden 1t is
confidently reported, that after long and
fruitless conference with the minister for TO-
E. reign affairs M. Alquier had recourse to the
Grown Prince, of whom he obtained an audi
ence. Though nothing has transpired as to
Its object, the visible ill-humour and vexa-
tion which the French minister has evinced
ever since, speak sufficiently to his disap-
pointment."
Bonaparte is said in an article from Ko-
ningsburgh, by way of Gottenburgh, to have
demanded of the King of Prussia the surren-
der OF Silcsia, or the fortress of Goldberg and
GraudentZ. The demand was instantly and
indignantly rejected his Prussian Majesty
replying, that he would sooner risk the con-
sequences of a war, unequal as the contest
must now be, than give up Silcsia, or his
last strong holds. Couriers were, it is adj
ded, Immediately sent off 10 Petersburgh &
TO the Russian General on the Polish from
tiers, who had in consequence, advanced with
his army to cooperate with the Prussian
troops. The King OF Prussia, at the same
time, conferred the chief command of his ar
my on General Blucher, who distinguished
himself so eminently in the last war.-This
able General Immediately issued orders to
collect the Prussian army, strengthened Col
berg & Graudentz, and enabled them to
stand a long siege, while, with the rest of
the troops, he fell back towards the Russian
army in order to effect junction with it
moro speedily.
several letters are in town from Prussia,
but they merely refer in obscure terms to
some important change i'll the posture of al
fairs: letter dated the 9th instant, from
Wingo Sound, only says, that 60 the reports
from Prussia are various and contradictory. %
we arc By no means prepared to say thas
this intelligence is not true but the last
French papers certainly did not induce us 10
expect any rupture between Prussia and
France.

a very general satisfaction was produced
on Saturdi " by the report of the Capture Of
the ncrican frigate President. Every bo-
dy rcj iced that the -buccaneer who had at
tackled GLtlc sloop which he could not take,
had himself been forced to strike to a vessel
OF inferior force. But as we stated on Sa-
turday, there is every reason to believe the
report unfonnded for, it is known, that the
President was at New-York so late as the
9th or 9TH Of August & the Melampus was
at that time at Halifax, receiving the bag
gage of Sir George Provost, for Quebec

the insolence of Rodgers, was characteristic
