Captain Barry, in the frigate United States, is arrived in the Delaware; and yesterday afternoon he came himself to this city.

He has brought dispatches from Messrs. Ellsworth and Davie, our Envoys to the French Republic, dated the 10th of February, at Burgos, in Spain. They had received, the day before, a letter from M. Talleyrand, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, covering their passports; expressing impatience for their arrival at Paris, and informing them that the form of their letters of credence (which were addressed to the Executive Directory) would be no obstacle to the opening of negotiations.

The Envoys arrived at Lisbon the 27th of November, and after some detention in the Tagus by contrary winds, sailed from thence for L'Orient on the 21st Dec. but encountering, for three weeks, violent and adverse winds in their attempts to gain that place, they were at last constrained to make the first safe port in Spain; and they arrived on the 11th of January, at Corunna, whence they dispatched a courier to Paris, for their passports; and at Burgos received an answer, as above mentioned.

[We understand the route from Corunna to France, is by way of Burgos, Victoria, and St. Sebastian, to Bayonne, the nearest French port, and from thence to Paris.]
