ELGIN.—Wind N. E. DEAL, DECEMBER fO.  A letter from Hamburgh, dated December 9, says ••••••14 Beneath a grave exterior, which it is still necessary to assume, our citizens are overwhelmed with joy. The astonishing events which have taken place in Russia within a few weeks, appear like a dream. We can scarcely credit them. I have made the necessary arrangements--you may send the goods; but for the late news, tiiiis act would have cost me my life, the confiscation of my property, and the imprisonm-fit and ruin of my family."  Letters from Bourdeaux, Coblentz, Maestricht, Nancy, and Chalons-upon-Marne, state, that the remaining conscripts of the year 1813, have been called out to join the corps to which they were attached. Many of these young_ men arc not more than sixteen or seventeen years o age. Extract of a letter from an Officer on board the  -- sloop, at Malta We have just returned to this place from Tunis, whither we can ied 70,0(X) dol lars from Sicily, as the ransom of the slaves of that Nation. We next proceedzai to Tripoli, the •Bashaw of which having learned that his unjustifiable conduct towards the Spaniards had been retaliated by the imprisonment of his Minister at Cadiz, proceeded to aKreliend every Spaniard in Tripoli ; but the remonstrances of Mr. WHAM and Capt. CRISPIN, who pleaded the alliance between Great Britain and Spain as the ground of their interference, procured the liberation of the Spaniards. This ferocious barbarian is at war with the Bedouin Arabs, by whom he has been defeated. Suspecting his courtiers of treachery, in corresponding with the enemy, he 'invited forty of them to an entertainment, in the middle of which, upon a given signal, a guard rushed in, seized the guests, and bound them, when this monster ordered twenty-five to be hacked to pieces, and himself cut the throats of the remaining fifteen. He has likewise murdered his father, and banished his elder brother; and, knowing the abhorrence in which he is held, whenever he quits the city on an airing, he generally carries R 9.00,000 with him, lest an insurrection should take place among the citizens, and his return be obstructed."  On Saturday, the dispatches by the 'CHARLES GRANT, MARQUIS OF ELY, PERSEVERANCE, MARQUIS CAMDEN, GENERAL HARRIS, for Bombay and China, and Cam for St. Helena, Bencoolen, and China, were finally closed at the East India House, and delivered to their respective Pursers.
