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. March 30. Five hundred gun boats haveal- T- at'y been built in the Dutch its, at the requisition of the r tench government, and the ut luolt a&iviiy prevails in getting them ready lor lea. Mr. Nourie, who is the bearer of dispatches from America, may be hourly expect’d.—The Osage, on board of which he a/ul the ineffen ger for Paris embarked, was spoken with oft L'Orient, ly a velkl ar rived at Guernsey.

Sir Samuel Hood failed ftom the Downs for the Baltic yefierday, in the Centaur*—the other fliips going upon the fame dcflination only wait ior pilots—The force in the Downs is increal)ng daily ; two more fev cnty-lours and a sixty-sour arrived there on Thursday. The Triumph and Implacable puffed Portsmouth yi field ay —they are all destined ler the Baltic. We have received further parti culars of the regociation between France and Denmark, refpetling the-equipment of a fleet of French VcflUs to be manned by Danish fai- Icrs. Bonaparte made the full o- Xi rtures and propoled, that the re quired number of Danish mariners of every rai k, from the admiral to the cabin-boy, for twenty fail of the line, should repair to the llveral , ports of France, and navigate them borne ; but they were flill to remain in the fti vice of France. This however was flatly refufed, even ly the government of Denmark; and the Danish officers and men o penly reiufed to fight under any o ther than the Danish flag. Mta fures were then taken to render tl e projtft as little npugnant as poffi. tie tot the national feelings of the Dams, It was proposed that the VtffeU ffiould be ibid to Denniaik ; ar.d procted from the ports ftf t!o Copenhagen. Undt r such circundtai.ccs, it is highly pr - bable that ti c treaty will be finally completed, and that muni will be found to gratify the sense of refent mtnt which the Danes feel against this country, without offending their notions of national indepen dence and honor. Ihe Moniteur of March 23d, contains the intelligence of the march of the Ruffian troops into Finland, and the arrest of the Ruf fian minister at Stockholm, with the sealing of his papers, &c. It adds the following remarks* “ 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 gainft him ! More than lix months are puffed fmee Ruflia intimated to him that all the principles of neu trality had been broken, and that his alliance with Britain could not be fullered, so that that mull neccf fardy follow. April 4. 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. April 5. Matfhal Brune has retired from the airny, and is living in diiigrace, lor rot having poffefftd himlelf of the illand of Rugan previous to his atUik c4i Straluund, by which means the ref rent of the King of Sweden from that lortrcis would have been prevented. Bonaparte has left Paris for Spain.
