Liis unexpected depar ture and. the rapidity, ■with which he has pajfed on his journey have excited cm- Jidtrable cunojity, dot unmixed with Juspicton, winch /terns principally to have arijen from the piece tc which he is jaid to be going. Information has been received of his pajjing through Lancet jler ana Chamber j burg, without having made any delay at either place. When we ccrfider the dijhnguifhed cl a rabler and unsullied reputation of Gen. Moreau, we cannot for a moment indulge the idea of his having any views ho file to the Uniitd Mates ; and we think it highly probable that a very /heft time will bring to light the viojl fatifaßory explanations of the oljedis of his jour. 7iey, which may turn out to have been un dertaken jolcty for the gratification of a laudable cunojity.

At Me ns el there wa: not the leait idea enteitained that an embargo would be Uid on in the Ruf flan ports, By fome letters received from Hoi. land, we find that King Louis has libe rated a’ti the pierfons who had been im prisoned duimg his absence, under the decree which prohibits the landing on the Dutch shores of any person from a Britilh port. French troops, it is (aid, have begun to reafTemble at Boulogne in confidera bie numbers. If the (tores which have arrived at Yarmouth, from Copenhagen, are a fair fpeciroen of what ij yet to come, we venture to fay they are not worth the freightage. Pieces of old timber, fit for noshing else but firewood, and bits of rope, only a few yards long, cotulume the lading of the traufports.
