LATEST FROM EUROPE.
CHARLESTON, January 25.
By the Northern Liberties, captain Watt, ar
rived yesterday in 40 days from Greenock, we
have received our papers to the 11th of Decem
ber ; these contain J .ondon dates to the Till—
their contents are very important.
On the Si of December, Mr. Canning an
nounced to the lord mayor of London, that the
emperor of Russia had published a declaration,
in which he made known his intention of break
ing off all communications with /F.itain ; to
recai his ambat->ador, and not to permit the
fiiilb.li mission to continue at St. Peter.,burgh.
The king of Sweden had concluded an armis
tice with France, to lie in force to the Ist of
April ; and marshal Bi une was to proceed to
Helsingburgh to open negotiations of peace.
The English funds kept up ; this was attri
buted by some to an appearance of something
like a general peace said to be pending ; and
there was a rumor on the Exchange on the 3d
of December, that the French emperor had of
fered to send an ambassador to England, with
full |XHvers to treat of peace, on what he states
to be an honoiablc basis, which was the instant
ly restoring the Danish fleet ; but this propo
se ion is said to have been peremptorily ref iv
ed bv the British ministry. The British gene
ral Moore, is stated in the Paris A/ouiteur to
ha e left Sicily with the whole British force that
was in that island, and tlmt the licet was dis
persed in a storm in which some of the vessels
were lost. A cutter arrived at Falmouth, from
off Portugal, had been chased by live sail of the
line, which the captain supposed to be French ;
the English journalists suppose them to have
been sir Sidney Smith’s squadron. When this
cutter was off the Tagus, site learnt that the
Poi tuguc-e and Russian fleet then consisted ot
21 sail of the line ; the former was r-ported tu
be in the possession of the Spaniards.
‘Flic president’s message on op ining the pre
sent session of congvess, was received 1 in En -
gland on the 3d of December. The merchants
of London, (says one of the papers) appear not
to dread the consequences of the address ; on
the contrary, they think it strengthens the opi
nion, that all diffet cnc.es will be uLimalely de
termined by tiie senate, the sentiments cf two
thirds of whom arc supposed known)
to be in op|jositiou to those of Mr. Jefferson.
The speech had the effect of raising the stocks.
JLcUctr; had been received in London, from
Sp,.in, which siated, tbat several of the princi
pal of the Spanish nobility, who were in oppo
■ i ion to the Prince of Peace, have f. iien sacri
fices to tiis machinations. Among others, the
duke de Medina Cili, the du kc (! s lufantado,
and the marquis de las Amaviiias, arc said to
have been beheaded, and u great number of
grandees arrested, and are speedily to be
brought to trial. This account is contradicted
in the last paper.
A treaty of partition is stated to nave been
signed, for the divirion of the Turkish empire :
me powers interested are France, Austria and
Russia. France is to receive the provinces
bordering on tlie Adriatic, the Seven Islands,
the .Wnrea and Egypt ; Austria :s n have Ser
na Bosnia and part of Wallachia ; .'.ml Russia
tlui other part of M’allachia, Bessarabia, -Molda
via and the Eland of Candia. The tLsunv of
Constantinople is said not to be fixed.
Fhe Bore, s British frigate, captain Scat,
stiuck on the liana way tock, near the island of
Jersey and was totally lost—the captain, his la- i
dy, and all the men perished, except two tnli
cers and between forty and fifty men. A grea- j
ter quantity of snow fell in England in the lat-!
ter end of November, than has been known for
many years. In North Wales it is stated to be
in many places upwards of sixteen feet deep.
Some difference is stated to have taken place
in the English cabinet relative to the Berlin ex
pedition ; two oiThe secretaries of stale, are
s.ud to have ceased to hold intercourse with
each other, excepting on official business, in
consequence, a change is said to he about to
take place in the ministry—lord Chatham is to
succeed the duke of Portland he is to be re
placed by lord dulgrave—Mr. Canning is to
go to the admiralty, an 1 be succeeded by lord
Wellesly in the foreign office.
It is stated in one of the papers, that a gen
tleman arrived from France had brought intcl
-1 gence. that a few days before his departure
from Paris, a decree had been rdcred to be is
sue! and was expected to be published in a day
or two, directing the seizure of all American
\essris in the ports of France, and interdicting
r. future intercourse with the United State;,
in consequence of their refusal to unite in the
general confedeiacy against the commerce of
G real-Britain.— City Gazette.
IMPORTANT STATE PAPER.
Declaration of llussia agaiitst l.nglar.d.
The higher the value in which the Emperor
held the ami*y of his Britanie mnjwKrv,’ Tlie
keener tegret he must feel ;it tlie complete
alienation of that monarch.
Twice has the emperor taken up arms in :t
cause in which the interests of England were
in. .st immediately concerned : but he has solicit
ed to no purpose her co-operation to promote
the accomplishment of her own objects. He did
not require she should unite her forces with his:
he was anxious only she would make a diver
sion in their favour. He was astonished that, in
tlie furtherance office own cause, she fierself
w ould make no exertion. On the contra cv, she
looked on, a cold spectalrix of the sanguinary
theatre of the war which she had herself kind
led, and sent a part of her troops to attack
Buenos Awes. Another portion of her army,
w hich seemed to be destined to make a do er
s. ’ii in Italy, has finally wit'.ulrew. from Sicily,
where it was assembled. Hope? were enter
tained that they had taken that step, in order to
throw themselves on die Neapolitan coast ; hut
it w as soon understood that they were employ
ed in taking possession of F.g’ pt.
But what most sensibly hurt the flings of
his imperial majesty, was to see, that, in v iola
tion of the faith and express stipulations of trea
ties. England was annoying the maritime trade
1 his subjects ; and at what period was this
proceeding adopted ? when the blood of the
R .irriar.S Wts iih* J fri£ In the glorious battles
which accumulated, and directed against the
armies of his imperial majesty the emperor of
the French, with whom England was, and still
is, at war !
When the two emperors made peace, his
majesty, notwithstanding just causes of dis- ;
pleasure at the conduct of England, did not, ,
however, refrain from endeavouring to render i
her services. The emperor stipulated, in that ,
very treaiv, tint fie should interpose his media- j
t on between England and France; and lie uc- .
cordiuglv made metier of that mediation to the ■
king of Great-Uritain, appriring him. that ;
it was with a wish to obtain honorable cno - 1
tions for him. But the British ministry, adher- ‘
itig, no doubt, to the plan that was to dissolve
and break off the ties bt tween Russia and Eng- j
land, rejected that mediation.
Tiie peace bet wen Russia nr.d France was ,
likely to bring about a general peace ; but it <
•was a* this moment that England suddenly a- >
woke from the apparent lethargy in w !-ich she :
had slumbered; but it was only to throw into ,
the North fresh fire bran,ls, wki ‘u -.vere to re
kindle, and have actual'y kindled, the flames of j
war which she was desirous not to st extin- j
guished.
Her fleets, her troops, appeared on the Danish J
coasts, to execute an act of violence, of which
historv, so fruitful in example, records no pa
rallel.”
V power distinguished frr its ]ac ri'ul and
moderate conduct, and for along and unexpect
ed course of wise neutrality ; and who sustain

moi'ii I dignity . find* itself treated tvs u'i ves -ti- j
gaged in secret plsts, and was meditating the j
downfall of England; while the who!,.-of these 1
imputations von* t.o'v re cant to justify the sitd- i
den ‘tort er.ti’ - e spoliation of that power.

That prince has just now acquainted his ma- J

to provoke his resistance than to up, ease his
roseu'.tn.cnt; for they tend to stamp on his ac’
lions the s.-al of degradation,the impress of which
they never will exhibit.

neutrality, that menria vat of the wisdom of the
t rnpre. C.atliavine, and bind, himself never to !
recede from that system.
He calls upon England to give complete sat- j

Jest claims they may t up, of ships and ir.er- j
.handi/.r .aized ainl detained, contrary to the!
e: press tenor of the treaties concluded during
his oin reigi:.
’J'iie emperor gives warning, that nothing

land, mtii the latter skull have given satisfac
tion to Denr.ia”k.
Tim emperor expects that his Britannic ma
jesty, iu-'tead of permitting his ministers to scat
ter fresh -eeds of war, in compliance only with
bis own feelings, will be induced m conclude a
peace with his majesty the emperor of the
French, which would be extending, in a mjn
nctq to the whole world the inestimable bless
ings of peace.
When due emperor shall be satisfied upon all
the e points, and especial!) upon that of a peace |
between France and England, without which no
pare of Europe can expect to enjoy any real |
tranquility, his imperial majesty will then wil- j
lingly return to the relations of amity with Great ]
Britain, which, in the state of just resentment
which the emperor .should feel, lie has maintain- :
ed, perhaps, too long.

The French Consul at Bremen, to his Excellency
the Burgomaster, President of the Senate of
this city.
“ Sir—l am eager to inform you, that it is
the intention of his majesty the emperor and
king, my august sovereign, that all navigation
upon the Wcser be prohibitted.
“ It is his majesty’s desire, that a!! vessels,
even French, entering the Weser, be stopped,
provided they are wholly or partly laden with
colonial produce, or any other goods of vvliateq
j Ter that England can furnish ; the
j are to be put under sequestration, and taken u

“ I am finally ordered to take the most effi
; radons measures, that the intentions of his ma
jesty be atrictly and immediately fulfilled.

By a letter from Quebec, of the 4th tilt, we
learn, “ that the president of the council- had
invlu-'J sir J. Johnson, supcri'jUiuiunt general
of Indian v Tails in the Canadas, to ? repair to
that c-.ip- ;, -l to assist in arranging measures ier
calling out the force, of the country.” The- ex
tensive influence of sir John Johnston it, (A.t.a
da has induced the principals of both provinces
to apply to him in the present emergency., and
he is now manifesting- his usual zeal for the
r enice of his country, by preparing the n ilitia
and Indians for tnc field. About 5000 rnillua
and 2000 Indians can be assembled
shortest notice at his call, and upon his taking
the field a much larger force will join him,. iso
that the late provident measures of ministers,
seconded by the exertions of sir John Johnston,
will-oppose a formidable barrier toanv attempts
on the part of the United Stales, in the event
-f a rupture.
Dispatches were received yesterday at the
admiralty from the /.Title. They bring fresh
accounts of the hostility of the Danes. Cion
burgh castle is provided with cannon, in the
best possible manner, for commanding iho
Sound. It fires upon every British vessel that
attempts to pass it. The Sound, however is
four miles across, and our vessels, by keeping
to the Swedish side, may pass in safety.

! Sir Robert Wilson, it is said, has hi eight
I intelligence to govern-cnt. which he beam on
high authority at Petersburg!!, that Bonaparte
1 has determined to make .immediate pre.-na
tions for the invasion of this country. lieiar-d
or Scotland, it is -.opposed, will be the hist ob
ject of his attempt.
I* is reported, in letters from Pctersburgh,
that general Bavaty makes it his boast in hat
capital, that Bonaparte will invade this couutiy
with .300,000 men.
Government we understand, have received
intelligence from Lisbon of so late a fcate as the
17th ult. On the night of the 11th, a cou: cil
was suddenly assembled, at which all the min
isters attended. At this meeting it was an
nounced, that the Portuguese an bassreor to
the court of Madrid, had been ordered to quit
that city in 24 hours; that the invasion of Por
tugal was determined on ; and that the uclvam e
guard of the French army would p.,ss thtrf. on
tiers on the lUh November. In qonsetpience
of these indications of hostility, it was ; c solve cl
that all the edicts and proclamations which had
I been issued against British commerce should
; be immediately rescinded, and that the eoiii:,
: whenever the danger becomes imminent,
! should embark for the Brazils. Tins statement
1 is sanctioned by the circumstanced a number of
licences having been yesterday issued for the
protection ol vessels clearing out for the ports
of Portugal.
December 10.
The squadron under admiral Otway is sup
posed to be stationed at St. Helen’s, under the
idea that the Russian squadron may escape from
the Tagus. This supposition has been strength
ened by the circumstance of none of the ships
that compose admiral Otway’s squadron being
able, in their present state to go to sea for more
than a week.
Intelligence from sir Sidney Smith is expect
ed with the greatest anxiety. On the 17th 1 e
! was a little to the eastward of Lisbon bar ; ?rd
, it is not improbable that he entered the Tague
i the next day. ihe French troops could not
reach Lisbon before the end of las t month.
