obvious, from the circumftance of the Fruf-£an troops having received orders to begin their march. The territories of Hamburgh and Bremen, together with part of the E-lcctors of Hanover, the Mouths and Banks of the Elb, the Wcfer and the Ems are expect­ed to be immediately occupied by Prufiian detachments.

The Vienna accounts mention a report, to which perhaps no credit is due, of 6000 of the troops under General Abercrombie havincr landed near Dumictta and Jafra.-

The commerce and correfpondence be­tween France and Ruflia has been re-eftab-liihed upon the fame footing as before the war.

PAHIS, MARCH 2 0 . Citi7.cn Magallon, Conful of the Republic,

at Cairo, has arrived at Toulon. Having fet out from Egypt, he was taken by the Engiifh and brought to Malta, which place he left the 7th of March.—A great number of Engiifh arrived there daily from the ports of Naples and Sicily, from fear of the embar­go, which they were aware would be laid on Engiifh vcflels by the King of Naples. The evening of his departure from Malta an Eng­iifh brig arrived from MacTi> with an account that the Engiifh aTmy" haa left that road. The Engfifh ftated positively that they were going to attempt a landing opposite Ehmietta. Should this be true, they will be flopped by the fort of Lefbe, which h i & fix baflions, fuuate upon the ifthmus, between the Lake Menzaleh and the Nile.

' " The revetcment, counter-fcarp, the half-moon, &c. of this place, at which workmenv

have been labouring fincc our arrival in E-gypt, are now finiflicdv According to the hft accounts received ot its ntuatibn, Lc&a was provided with fixty piecs of cannon of a large callibrer of which ten wefe mortars, and a-Dimd*ntly fupplied with' ftores and provis­ions.— Military men who know the fpot do not think that the Engiifh will be guilty of the folly of landing there * but if it be true that they have attempted it, we may be afiured that not two^ out of nrhe who land will ever re-embark.—Monitcur.

A letter from Milan, of the 16th of March, (bites on foe authority of advices from Na­ples, that the Enpliih had already evacuated alt the Ports of His Sicilian Ma jetty.—Thofe YcfTcl9 which were at Naples proceeded to Malta and Port Mahon. The Ligurian Re­public, it is undcrftood, is to be enlarged by the addition of certain parts of Piedmont. TJpon thi? fubjecr, it is remarked in an ar­ticle from Genoa, that the union of the peo­ple of thofe two countries, born to be friends, zhc one devoted to the purfuits of agriculture, and the other to thofe of commerce and mduftry, muft prove eminently productive of the felicity of both. The demolition of Coni is nearly completed; that of Tortona is in confiderable forwardnefs ; and that of

x8ox) off he coaft of Brazil, between the American frigate BOSTON, and the republi­can corvette L E BERCEAU. The American frigate carried 26 twelve pounders, and 12, nine pounders; and the. Berceau was aTm-ed with twenty-two 8 pounders and fix twelve pound hdwitzers.

Notwithstanding this inferiority of force the French vefTel valiantly fuflaincd the com­bat. Prom 5 to 6 o'clock, both veflels con­tended with equal obltinacy. At this time le Berceau had her top-gallant malts, and top-maft carried away, and her fails and rig­ging full of holes and cut away. The frigate, whofe fail* had alfo TufTered great damage* then ceafed her fire and the two veflels went to work, fide by fide, to repair their damages. At half paft 8 the action recommenced*, Le Berceau, attempted to board the Bofton; which flic avoided -, and the cannonade con­tinued on both fides untill 11 o'clock; The action then was prolonged for two hours : In (hort le Berceau, without maf>s, with fcvcral fhot in her hull ; and making feven inches of wafter an hour, was reduced to the riecef-lity of linking her colors. The combat, and the fuperiority of the enemy did not war­rant an v other iflTue, has been horYorable to the French flag ; and reflc&s credit on the officers and feamen who fuflaincd i t ; and as* it took place after treaty of the- 8 Vchdcmaire yras figncd, the Berceau will be reftorcd byl^he American Government. %

Extract of & letter from an American gentleman of refpe Ft ability y now at St. Scbafliansy dated March 25 , \801. " A ' O U no doubt have heard of the Em­

bargo laid by the government of England on all the Danes and Swedes in her ports. Buo­naparte, with a paternal anxiety for their

frfcty has done the fame thing in all the ports of France, on the veflels of Denmark, Swe­den, Pruflia and Ruflia, on account of an ap- " prehenfion of their falling into the hands of

. the Engiifh. So that the American is now the only neutral flag : and with fo much re-fpe£t is. it trcateed at this time, by all the bel­ligerent powers, that there is not an inftance, as far as I can learn, of an American veflel having been detained «n thefe feas, for two months paft, by the French or Engiifh.

" We were fpoken by an Engiifh privateer in the Bay of Bifcay, who after enquiring what our cargo confifted of, fuffercd us to pafs without even coming on board—This fhews how well we ftarid with the Engiifh in thefe feas : and notwithstanding the rejection of the Treaty by our Senate, the French gov­ernment has fhewn no hoflile difpoGtion to­wards America : on that account its, cruifcrs, obeying the flrift injunctions of Buonaparte, do not moleft any of our veflels, for which no doubt he haa fome deep political reafons ; feeing that French influence has gained ground very faft in America, and which he is certain will be eircreafed, by treating our flag with more refpe& than it is treated by the Engiifh.'

On the- 226. ult. there was a. fall of fnow at Carlifle, [Pconf.T 12. inches in depth.
