SUMMARY.

In consequence of the French exactions
on one hand, and the Danish DEGREES on tie
other, the trade hitherto carried on in the
ports of Denmark from the U. S. was reduc-
ed to the most distressing condition, and
which indeed from similar causes was the
case throughout the north of Europe. Colo
NAL and American produce were almost
without price or value in fact it was a mat
ter of great doubt with the holders Of MANY
articles, whether to pay the duties or aban-
don the goods. The French tariff Of duties
was rigialy enforced in Hamburger and Rus
sia, and in all countries under the immediate
influence of France. AT Frankfort and Leip-
sic all the American produce there to a great
amount, had been seized by a French militia
ry force, with the view to exact those duties,
as also was, about the same time, all En-
glish manufactures at those places, under the
order of Napoleon to burn such wherever
found.
On the 18th November the senate of Ham
burg published an ordinance requiring such
OF the inhabitants of that place as had any
English manufactures in their possession, to
hold the same in readiness on the following
day to be burnt, in pursuance of the com
mand of the emperor of France and exhort-
ing them to obedience as became peaceable
and well disposed citizens.
For a long time past there has constantly
been a French garrison at Hamburg, quar-
tered on the inhabitants. The number at this
time did not exceed about three thousand,
under the command of Count Moran, and it
was expected to be tie head quarters this
| winter ofmarshal Davoust. The troops were
frequently changed after being well clothed
at the expense of the city, in order to make
room for others equally needy, who in their
turn were equipped in like manner. The va
rious acquisitions on the senate for these ard
other purposes had become excessively grew
Gus and heavy, and the more so as the trade
of the city was, by the occlusion o ftheir riv-
er and other severe restrictions of Bonapart
| almost annihilated.

king could not before be prevailed on to a.

was induced TO it by an irresistible and impe-
rious comniand-Tne ports of Denmark

Latest from the seat cfuar.-By the ar
rival last evening of the brig James Wells,
in IL days from Lisbon, we learn that Mas
sena, whose situation was in front of the
British forces, had at length been stared out
of countenance by Lord Wellington, and
had taken French leave from Villa Franco
On the 10th of November, without intimat-
ing to the British a word of his movements
AS soon as Lord Wellington heard of the re-
treat, he dispatched General Stewart in
search Of the French army, bat no informa-
ton had been received of his success as late
as the cath of November. Report says that
Massena intended to cross tie Tsgus, in
search of winter quarters, as his situation in
front OF Lord Wellington would not permit
him to encounter a storm. No further in
formation had been received respecting the
movements of Marshal Soult. Flour was
selling at Lisbon 25th November, for SOS.
in sterling bills, or about IS Spanish dollars
per barrel, reckoning the dollar at 5S. sd.
