We have been politely favored with a let
ter from respectable gentleman. from Port
land dated the 2d inst. Announcing the arr
val there of the brig Leo, in 90 days from
bordeaux. Capt. L,bbey states that Bona
partc was in good health; that he was rais
ine larger army than he ever had before
togo into Russia, which, according TO the
b est information he could obtain, Ccnsisted
Of six hundred thousand men: that they had
already commenced their march, and The
Emperor was to leave Paris some time it,
March fer the North, and that all French
men az Bordeaux, appeared sanguine of his
entering st. PctersJurgh in July.
Capt. Libbcy also mentions that the inha-
bitants were very loyal, and that no difficult
ty existed in collecting the last conscTiption
Of 500 600 men; that Bonaparie's retreat
from Russia last year was atogetheNpwing
to the burning of Moscow, and the iFema-
ture inclemency Of the season. The loss oil
the French. he says. was much less than has
been represented, principally consisting Of
cavalry.
Capt. L. further states. that Mr.. Borrow
had, previous to his death. effected a treaty
agreeable to the wishes of this country but
owing TO his sudden decease, it was not sign
ed by him.
The writer OF the letter says, nave seen
papers to the 25th of Feb. In one of them,
where the Emperor is speaking of American
affairs, he observes, "That it is left to Anne
RIGA. or the new World, to finish what the
! old had given up--that the flag should cover
and protect the crew."
The above brig Leo is owned by Messrs
Cobb & Clapp. she has made an immense
voyage us full of brandies and wines, and
the chinks filed up With silks and laces-
The markets are very good for American
produce-coUon,. ashes and fish-and 10 de-
tenion by government.
