Mr.. FULTON has received letters from his friends
in Paris which state that at the request of the en-
peror, Mr.. Barlow left Paris on the Sth October for

days and nights. These particulars place it beyond
doubt, that something in,portant is in contempla-

American ambassador TO meet him u the distance
OF $50 leagues from Paris

we discovered they had both tackled in shore again.
They continued standing in until within leagues OF
the town, when the Saratoga commenced the action
from her starboard bow guns, which was returned
from the briggs larboard quarter. The act;on
became furious, that both vessels hid from us
in columns OF hre and smoke but in few minutes
the firing ceased. When the sneke cleared Off we
could see no other colours flying exccp. the Ameri-
