Nourfe is chaigcd witl®4ilpatches
to mr. Pinkney ; but rha\ he waits
m L’Orient until he hears from
our minister at Paris how this offer
of mediation has been received.
London, March 28.
rdifpatches from gen. Arm-,
at Paris were received yef-“’
terday by mr. Pinkney : they were
brought by a mr. Patterson, who
came through Holland ; they do
not announce the arrival in France
of mr. N<>urfe ; nor do they, as it
is said here, in any refpedl, relate
to the lubj> &of the embargo. By
a passenger in the last packet, we
>2re informed, that the laying on of
t e embargo took place in confe
cjuence of the Britifli orders in coun
cil, which certainly found their way
out in the Augufia, which carried
mr. Monroe, and were by that gen
tleman tranfmiited, without delay,
to the prcfulent; who, in concert
with a few of his friends in the fen
are, advised the adoption of the
nuafuie. It was not in conlequence
cl any private mercantile advices.

the cabin-boy, for twenty fail of the

in the fti vice of France. This
however was flatly refufed, even

“ Such an outrage on the rights of
nations, which is known only ie
barbarians has roused the indigna
tion of the whole world. Os what
does the king of Sweden complain ?
That Ruflia has declared a

are puffed fmee Ruflia intimated to

Several transports came into the
Downs yesterday, and lotne horse
fliips have been ordered to lail from
the river as quick as possible. From
the number of flat bottomed boats
that ate landing at Deal, not M fs
than 100, it is luppofed that anoth
er expedition is j r paring—other
boats are neatly completed which
are to carry carronades.
Some accounts have been receiv
ed horn the French coast, which
speak of a frdh affi rnblge of troops
on the heights of Boulogne. The
huts which form the encampment
in that neighborhood, appear to
have been newly pa nted, and their
numbei considerably increaled with
in the last month; the flotilla in
the harbor, however, remains in
ftatu quo.
Accounts from the Tagus slate
tha t the officers of the Ruffian fk
are anxious to leave that unconib*
sortable station, could they do it
| with fafety. !
The Ruffians had buffered grert
ly from the want of necefiaries of ail
kinds. Junot had forbidden any
supplies being lent to them; nor
had they been enabled, for fome
time, to procure from the (lores in
Portugal an ounce of provilion of
any kind. In the mean while, the
inhabitants of Lisbon were reduced
to the needhty of making bread of
peas, beans, and all the inferior forts
of grain, which, when mixed toge
ther, were scarcely eatable ; and e
von of this kind the iupply was
scanty. j
Several councils had been held !
on board the Ruffian fquadion, to
confide r ob the meabures to be pur- !
lued at luch an emergency. At
one time it was propoled tfat the
Ruffian fleet fliould put tobea con
fiding of nine bail of the line and a
frigate, and risk an engagement 1
with the British ; but on itfic&ing ,
that every one ob their flvps were
damaged in their malls, the plan was
abandoned as impradicable. Be
sides this, the crews, bor wart of
proper ncurifhment, were in a very
lickly state.—The plan that had
met the sense of the majority, and
w hich it was supposed would he a
dopted, was that of laying up their
fliips in the Tagus, and marching
their crews over to St. Peterfburgh.
The French at Lisbon were not on
friendly terms with the Ruffians.

PE ACL with AMERICA.
r i he queftiun of moft general in

connection with America—are we -
to have peace or war ? j
It is to be feared upon this sub- ‘

imbecility of her infancy to her j
