The embargo which was laid on 8 days for the purpose of obtaining sea men, was taken oft’ this morning in the port of London. We (hould juppofe from this tfcu t the expedition .had failed. Lome of the German papers date, that the emperor of liullia has gone Back to Petersburg. The king ol .Sweden is said to have applied for an armiftfee, and to have exprelfed a de iire to enter into negociations for peace; but Bonaparte replied that he jmuft have a guarantee, and that gua rantee mud be the placing Straliund jn his hands. ‘J he French are under the walls of Stralfund.

House of Commons, ]u!y 27. Mr. Whitebread wiflied to ask the right honorable the Chancellor of the ex chequer a question touching the me lancholy account this day received in town, refpe&ing the capture of the A mcrican frigate Chesapeake, which excited fueh genera! and regretful sensations in the metropolis—Wheth er any accounts had been received by his imjefty’s government relating to that tranfa&ion ? Whether it was with the privity or authority of our government at home, and it it was in tended to lay before the house arty communication upon that fubjycf ? The chancellor of the exchequer answered, “ With respect to the quel (ion relative to what he too confide red a melancholy event, the captttie’of the American frigate Chefapea'ke, by a British cruizer, he could only fay as one of his majesty’s ininsfters, that he was not informed of any of the parti culars of that trar:faction, father than by common rumour. His majcftyV government, however, would leave no means unexertqd to learn the particulars! and the evqnt, and to whom thecircum dance v/as justly imputed ; nor (hould they hesitate to make any atonement and reparation in their power mat 0.1 a fair enquiry (houl i appear to .be due on the occasion.” trv.Eßpooi,, August t. The intelligence received this v/eci from the co:.(l of jVmc-ica, has fxcited, a great degree of agirai ion in all parts ;i he nation, and especially in the com inercial towns. it is certain that no accidetn could be more perverse ill timed. At all events it rmv tsm. jto bring to a speedy decision tltc cx [ifttng dilpute on which t!:c two ra j dons are now at issue. The “righto! search” is f ipoofed to be the great Humbling block which caused tiu* r< • je6lion of the treaty by Mr. Jeffetfon, and it is a point on which the two na tions are (uppofed to be equally per tinacious. Some hopes are now entertained that this affair will not inevitably lead to hostility. If captain Humphreys proceeded on the positive mltrurtions of our government, xjc (hould despair ol feeing the dispute amicably accom modated; hut it is clear lrotn the ex prefiions of Mr, Perceval in the houle of commons, that this was not the caie. j SAVANNAH, September 25. Latest Foreign Intelligence. The letter-bag of the (hip Alexander Hamil ton, captain Callahan, in 48 days from Liver pool, was this morning brought up to town from .Cockfpur. By this arrival we have been favor ed, though a gentleman of this place, with Lon- Mon papers to the 3d of August, from 1 which we have made font a extrafls. The mofl j important article we find in them is the treaty of I peace between France and Pruflia, which we are unable to give this evening. They contain lit- ; tie else that has not been anticipated by the ac counts received lately via Boston. Nothing farther refpe£ling the outrage on the Chesapeake. The London Star of July 31, contains the Washington, Baltimore, and Alc::- : andria accounts, without a syllable of comment,. 1 and from the following letter, jull put into our hands by a mercantile friend, much conllerna tion seems to exilt among the commercial part of England in confcquence of it. Hepub. “ Intelligence of the nnfortimate affair Between tlr: Leopard and the Chesapeake having been received oil the 27th ult. cnfiderab!e nneaftnefs has Been fmee felt as to the prospect of the commwcia! relations be tween this country and America ; and although the de claration of our ministry in parliament appeared Krong *y t 0 evince that no holhlc difpofitiens were entertained on their part, it was fill! apprehended that, from the diffatisfaction that must exilt in America, the measure of an embargo by your government, cn American fhip ping, was not altogether improbable. Insurances to .America have been with difficulty effected at lour gui neas per cent. The holders of wheat and flour seem not disposed to make falcs; and allies being in few hands, have advanced. The prices given for cottons have been rather higher; and tobacco and naval Itores particularly tar, have- lifen considerably. The Presi dent’s proclamation, received after a Iho.t pafljge from New-Yort, has however dilflpated infome me;,fore the appreheiiflon so generally felt; and we sincerely hope that a good understanding, so delirable for the interefli of both countries, will be loon restored.

The Journal which contains an account ol what passed between riieiu, wiiibe very interesting to both nations. “ At half past four, the emperor Napoleon laving received a \isit from the king cl Rais ka, who came to take his leave, set out for Ko nigsbeig, where he arrives at ten at night. The king of Prussia went to Ncmel. ‘‘ Yesterday the emperor Napoleon inspec ted the port of.Konigsberg,- in a boat manned by the imperial guard. To-day his majesty will review marshal Soult’s corps, and at two o’clock to ■morrow, he will set out for Dresden. “ The number of Russians killed in the bat tle of-Fiiedland amounts to 17,500, the prison ers to 40,000 ; 13 000 of whom have already passed through Konigsberg ; 7000 remain sick in the hospitals, and the vest have been conducted to Thorn and Warsaw. -Orders have been issued to send them home to Russia, without delay ; 7000 live already returned again to Komgsti rg. Those in France are to be formed into provisional regiments. The emperor has oi deicd them to bs elemhed and armed. “ i’he ratifications of the treaty cf peace between France and Russia, were exchanged at Tilsit, on the 9th. The ratification of the | treaty of peace between France anti Prussia, | will be exchanged here this day, “ The plenipotentiaries charged with these negociations were, on the pari ol France, the prince of Benevento ; princes Kurakin and La banoff, on the part of Russia ; on the part cf Prussia, field marshal count Ralkicuth and the count de tioltz. After such events as these, one cannot but smile when the great English expedition ia mentioned, and at the new frenzy which ani mates the king of Sweden. Besides, v,e may remark that the army of observation, between the Elbe and the Oder, is 70,000 strong, exciu , sive cf the grand army, without including the ! Spanish divisions, which arc new upon the Oder also. It was, therefore, necessary for I England to have brought her whole force to , gether, her soldiers, her volunteers, fencihles, . kc in order to have made a diversion of any interest. But when wo take into our account ; that England, under the present circumstances, has sent 6000 men to Egypt only to be s'.augh ! tered by the Arabians, and 7000 men to tho ■ Spanish West-Indies, we can only feel senti ments of pity for the extravagant avarice with which that cabinet is tormented. “ The peace of Tilsit puts an end to the ope rations of the army : notwithstanding this, all the Frussian coasts and ports will be shut a l gainst the English ; and it is probable that the continental blockade will net prove a mere sound. “ The Porte is included in the treaty. The revolution which lately occurred at Ccnstzmi ; nopie, was an anti-ch;istian revolution, which h. s nothing in common with the policy of Eu rope. “ The adjutant-commandant GnillemSr.ot, is gone to Bessarabia, wheie he will cor.muni i cate to the grand Vizier the intelligence of the peace, and the liberty given to the Porte to take part in it, as well as of the conditions cf the treaty, in which the Pcrtc is interested.” Hamburgh, July 24. The treaty with Russia is not yet known. It is reported here, on the authority of the Russian ; officer who came as- courier to the duke of j Meeklenburgh, that Alexander was seized with j a kind of panic upon seeing the French on his j frontiers, and toki Bcnningsen and prince Ba | grathton to make peace on any terms. He was j even afraid, he said, that Napoleon would make |no peace. The latter, whose array had suffer led dreadfully, arid wa£fcy. tjb means rn fjy dition to pursue its advantages, it any reafj. ance had been made, was glad to seme the op. portimity to get Alexander to make a peace, advantageous for the French, but left Prussia at the mercy -of France, - - MiTzovr, July 25. ’ The Swedes have completely withdrawn to Stralsund. To-day, they attempted a son;, 1 through the Vogthagen; but general Loiscn, whose troops had just come cS a forced iurcj> ( drove them back into the fortress. While the heavy artillery is on the way );.: e the lines of circumvallation are completed. 1; is hoped the siege will not be protracted io® v ) Our troops have not wanted opportunities v, distinguish themselves. There have been four j engagements since the 13ui; tne sharpest v; 4 at Rabatz, where the Swedes had fortided ti defile3 with a numerous artillery. General Monitor took this position from them, whil gen. Boudct engaged the Swedish corps at 1n,.. gat, commanded by the king in person, i..* Swedes have lest about 230 men. ToxNINGEN, July 26, We have iu.t learned that Bernadette is gone on an iiopC'itant mission to Copenhagen. Great unprehensions have been entertained far the fate of llolst in, the gardson of Hamburg . having been lately augmented to Jrorn 1 5 to 16,000 men, the greater-part of which are now however,-on their march towards Holstein. LoxtfoN, August 2. The Tonninge-o mail due on Weclnesd ty ar rived last night, and has brought thr treaty of peace concluded between Franco and Prussn. By this treaty the latter loses ne.iny one hali'vt her tellitory, and the troops of the former are to be allowed free passage through her tcrritc ses to Warsaw. In fact, Prussia is no longer, an independent state. The treaty with Rus-u has not ye. made its appearance. French and Dutch papers, the former to the 22d, the latter to the 27ih, have also arrived. They confirm the report for some time current cn the continent, respecting the exaltation c: prince Jerome to the regal dignity. He is tv be king of Westphalia, and in that character has been presented by the emperor Alexa \kt v.idr the insignia of the order of St Andrew. No passports are to be granted from the chen office for eight days to come. The ieticrs received yesterday by the St. Fc tersburgh roaii contain orders for goods to a much greater amount than usual. We should , be most happy to construe this into an enlarge | mentor our trade, and an extension of car i commerce; but, Unfortunately, the oblitjue hints contained in those letters which we huts • seen canuct be misinterpreted. The enlarged ; orders spring only from the epprehensicn of a ! suspended inter course between Russia and this ; country. i it is thought the cricks cf the treaty cf ! peace concluded between the French and Ru> ! stars will not he made pub'is till Vary hats i been communicated to the senate. The Fladeem Journal, under the head cf intefiiger.ee from Paris, slates, that an eminent French general erd sovtreiga prince is inienf ed to bs ring of Greece. August 3, A Go'tenbpurgh mail auived this morning. The inteliigetice it brings is giver, in a precis ing column. The details relate to the reno -vi of hostilities between Fi ance and Sweden, be: do r.ot come down later than the accounts by the last Denmark mail. We have also received French and Dutch papers, the former to the 22th, the latter to the 23 th ult. It appears from the fifth bulk tin, that the Porte is included ia the treaty of pt .ce between France and Russia. In other v/i.rdi, these powers have taken upon themselves, to decide tho fate of that empire. The v. hoR cf the plan may not be immediately develop? , but UlO principle is laid down, *.:.d we ehr.il perceive it gradually acted upon. France ad Russia may content themselves at present v,it!t trifling annexations, am. the grand sigaicr may be allowed to reside at the Seraglio a fer months longer, but the subversion ol the Turk ish power in Europe is inevitable. The prin cipal point of difficulty in the new arrange ments will relate to the occupation of Constan tinople—or,in other words, who shall comjßOfld the Dardanelles. If we may credit some accounts from the continent, the Turkish provir.c.es'of Wallachia and Moldavia, with- the Russian provinces 0: Braclaw, Kiovv, Podolia, and other pai ls of Po land, are lobe erected into a kingdom fortfifr gvaud duke Constantine. Haewich, August 2. The embarkation of troops, w hich has been going on here for some days past, being corn pitted, between 40 and 50 sail of transports got under way yesterday morning, about te # ’ o’clock, with a fair wind for Yarmouth, under ’convoy cf the Comus, the Cherub having £*’* jviously sailed w ith lord Roslvn and suite. - n < ’ getting out of the harbor, three of tire transports i got cn shore, but floated eff the following tide. |*j Dollars Reward, Apiece of BLUE PLAINS was ujY lr.il night from my store, with a fmafl keg of about two gallons-—the piece of Cloth of 17 yards.
