Late Foreign Nezvs , CHARLESTON*, Jan. 28. Yesterday arrived fie ship Charles Car ter, capt. Drvsdale, in 48 days from Lon ; diiu ; and the ship Northern Liberties, captain VVa’t, in 40 da.s from Greenock fly these arrivals we have recrivetLLon cion papers to the 10th; and Greenock pi pe ts to the 12th ult. inclusive. The article of most importance is the declaration of the Emperor of Russia, which, although not declared to be so, :4 tantamount to a Declaration of War, The flriiish government have, therefore, laid an embargo upon nil the Russian ves sels in their port', and ordered their crui. aers to detain all such as they should fall in with. The influence of fluonaparte has added<he only maritime nation of ini J ’ portancc in Europe, to the enemies of the British, and has woven another laurel/or the brow ot some oi her naval comman ders. The Russian naval officers have learnt the art of war in the British navy, but they will, most probably, soou have it in their power to evince to the world whether or not they have improved by the lessons which have been given them. It is . generally believed that s\vetlen will be compelled to join in the confederacy. The temporal authority of the Pope is almost at an end. The French have taken possession of the castle of Vt. Angelo, pre para or v to the erection of another king dom in Italy, of which Lucien Buonaparte is to be the bead, by the title of king oi l-atium. General Sebastian!, jhe French ambas sador to the Porte, has left Constantino ple for Paris. The Turkish government torn by factions and distracted in iheii councils by the infl jence oi flaonaparte and wd!, ou st probably, lalln sactifi e io the insidious friendship of the one and the-overwhelming power of the other. The city of Berlin, as well as the pro. vinces, ate in a state of die most complete mi.erv. The inhabitants are threatened with military execution, for not paying the contributions which the French have imjiosed upn them, and which they are enorely unable to pay. Buonaparte has demanded five millions of dollars from the king of Prussia and required that eight of the strongest Prussian loruA-.sses should br garrisoned by Fn uch uuops until the contusion of tl<e war. Buonaparte, it is said, is gone to Italy, for the purpose of meeting ad the* kings and princes of his own making at Milan. Th<- Pope, the King and Queen of Naples she Queen of Ktrurftt, the King of Bavaria &r. are to be there ; but it is not linuwn for whatjwr/joae these g cat peroonages are to assemble- Ti e prince of Asturias has been relea sed by the kingof Spniu, through the in terference ot Auonapar ie, who has pre sented him the cordon of the legion of ho nour. His h*ghncss, it is said, confessed his guilt to his royal parents, and, not on- • ly received their paidon, but has been placed at the head of the punish army and stined to invade Portugal. If this ac count be true, the power of the Prince of Peace is completely overturned ; /Fiona pirre has employed him a* long as he tbo* ght necessary, and will now, probably saci ifipe him, t.s the surest way of obtain ing popularity with the people of Spain.

But what mod fenfihly hurt the feelings ot his imperial in?jelly was, to ice, iii violation of the faith and ex-) prtls ‘lipulations of trtaiks, Englamlj annoying ihe matiirme tiae'e ofhls tub jeds ; a and it wU -petiod was ihis procyedii'g adopted ?

The emperor flipuLted in that very treaty that he fhojuid interpol'e his media tion between England and France ; -•ind he accordingly made an offer of that mediation to the king of Great Britain apprifjng him that it was with a wish to obtain honorable conditions for him. But the Briiilh minillry, adher ing no doubt to the plan tiiat was to arlifTolve and h*e.ak off all the ties be •tween RnfJia and England, rejsfied that mediation. The peace between Raffia and France was likely to bring about a gen eral peace ; but it, was at this moment that England suddenly awoke from that apparent lethargy in which she had flutnbered; but it was only to ihrow into the North freffi fire brands, which were to re kindle, and have aftually kindled, the flames of a war which she was deftrous not to fee extinguifhefl. Her, fleets, her troops, appeared on the Danish coads, to execute an aH of violence of which history, so huiiful in examples, records no parallel. A power diftsnguifhcd for its peace ful and moderate conduft, and for a long and unexpected course of wife neutrality, and who sustained, amidlt surrounding Monarchies, a kind cf a moral dignity , finds itfelf treated as if ,41 was engaged in secret plots, and was meditating the downfal of England ; while the whole of these imputations were only meant to jultify the Ridden and entire i’poliation of that power. The emperor, wounded in his digni ty, wounded in the affebHon he feels for his people, wounded in his engage menis with the Courts of the North, by this a£l of violence committed 111 the Baltic, a close sea, the tranquillity of which has so long depended on the Court of Si. |ames ; and is reciprocal ly guaranteed by both powers, did no; di fl’emhle his resentment again If En gland, and warned her that he fhouhi * not, remain indifferent to such a pro ceeding. liis majellv did not forefee, that while ‘England having fuccessfully em ployed her forces, was on the point of leizing on her prey, Ihe would offer a freih outrage to Denmark, in which his majelty was to bear a part. New proportions Hill, more insidi ous than thole made at firlt, weie made to Denmaik, which aimed at binding down to England that power thus sub jugated, degraded, and applauding, as it were, every thing that had happen ed. Still !efs did the emperor forefee ih at it would be proposed to him to guaran tee that fubmifficn, and to prom ili? that that a& of violence ffiould not be attended with any milchievous conle quence to England. The EngHlh arnhaffador seems to -have imagined that he might venture to propose to the of miniller the emj etor, that his Imperial majeffy (houid un dertake lie apology and defence of a proceeding which his tinjefly has so o. penly condemned. To this Hep on the pan of the cabinet of St. James’, his majedy has thought proper to pay only that attention which it deserved, and has deemed it high time to lei li mits to his moderation. The Ptince Royal of Denmaik, en doyved with a chara£!er full of noble nefsand energy, and having been b lei - ‘ed by Providence with a foul as ele vated as his rank, had apprised the Emperor, that, jullly enraged agaiuli what had iccetuly happened at Copen hagen, he had 1101 ratified the conven lion tefpetling it, and that he consider ed it as null and void. 1 hat Prince has just now acquaint ed l>is majelly with the new propofi lions that have been made 10 him, anc which aeofa nature rather to pi voke his refinance, than to appeale his releuimcnt, for they tend to itarnp on his aHions the seal of degradation, the irnpr els of which they never wtii txhi bit. The emperor struck with the confi dcnce which ihe Prince Royal placed in him, having moreover conhdereo his own grounds of diflathfa£tion with Englanc, baviug attended to his cn gaguiicnis with the powers of the North, etrgagemems cntcud into by the empret; Cath4titiP : utid by bis late- Imperial inajeffy, ho'h’ of glorious me mory, has refoh’rd upon fulfilling them. His Imperial majefrv break-’ off oi# [ rommuniealioh with. England ; he ref j calls his ernbaffv from that court, . will rrot allow any ambalTadpr front J her to confimie at his court. There { shall henceforth exiff no rdatrorrs be-- tween the two countries. The emperor declares that he gales for ever every afl hitherto con cluded between Great Britain and Ruf lia, and particularly the convention concluded in 1801. lie proclaims a new the principles of the Armed Net*- - trality, that monument of the vvifdoin / of the Emp r tTs Caiharirre, and bind* I himfelf never to recede from that lvs~ tem. He calls upon England to give.” compleat fatisfaßicn to his fubjeds^,, I with refped to all tiie just claims ibey’ ) may fe t up, of Ihips and tnerchandiles feized and detained, contrary to the; express tenor of die nealies concluded* during liis own reign. The emperor gives warning, that no thing (hall he n*-eftab>ilhed between u(lia and England, until the latter (hall have given faiLfatliou to Den mark. The emperor expects that hi; Britan nic majelty, inltead of permitting his minifters to (cauer Irelh feeds of war, in compliance only with his own feel ings, will be induced to conclude it peace with his majelly the emperor of the French, which wouid be extending in a manner, to the whole world, the meltimable blessings of peace. When the emperor shall be fatisfied upon all ihe'c points, and especially up on that of a peace between France ‘ and England, without which no part of Europe can expctl to enjoy any real tranquillity, his Imperial majesty will ihen willingly return to the relations of amity with Great Britain, which in the (tale of just resentment which the emperor Ihould feel, he has maintained* perhaps, too long. „ . *. Done at St. Pdtrjburgk , Ocl. 26, 1807* December 5. Sir Robert VViffoo, it is /aid, has brought intelligence to government which he heard on high authority a Peterlburgh, that Bonaparte has deter mined to make imnediate pteparations lor the invasion of this country. Ice land, or Scotland, it is supposed, will he the fit ft objetl of his attempt. > It is ri ported, in letters from Peterf burgh, that Gen- Savary makes it hia . boall in that capital, that Bonaparte will invade this country with 300,000 men. Government, we under Rand, have received intelligence from Lisbon of. so late a date as the 17th ult. On the night of the nth, a Council was fud* denly sffembled, at which all the Min* ilters attended. At this meeting it was announced that the Portuguese Amb'af lador at the Court of Madrid had been oidered to quit that city in 24 hours; that the invasion of Portugal was detetmined upon; and that .the advanced guard of the French army would pals the frontiers on the lith of Nov. In conicquence of these in dications of hoftilitv, it was resolved that all the cdi&s and proclamations which had been issued against British commerce should be immediaiely te feinded ; and that the Court, whenever the danger became imminent, (houid embaik for the Brazils. The flatement is lanctioncd by the circumstance of a number of liccnles having been yH&cr day iflued for the protection of vefleis clearing out for the ports of Portugal. A veflel has anived from Caen, from whence she failed on TuefJay iaft. I here were several American vefleis at hat poit under detention, upon fuspi c ion of their having touched at G. Bti ain. The maiteis wete very appre henflve that oiders would be givenrfor heir confiicatiuu. It was reported here that Bonaparte had demanded five millions of dollars of his Pruflian majesty and that eight of the Itrongelt Prulliau fortreffes Ihould be ganifon cd by French iroops till the conclu sion of the wat. The infoicnce and ty ranny of Bonaparte know no bounds. He wtii nut even be at the trouble of” aHigning a plaufiblc cxqulq fur the
