Letters from Boston announce the arrival there of the ship New Galen from London, with intelligence to the 4th Sept. at which time the expectation of Lord Lauderdale's speedy return from England, and the prospect of continued war, had caused a great depression of the stocks. Mr. Fox, it is added, had experienced a relapse, and was so unwell that little hopes were entertained of his surviving more than three or four days.
The ship Ocean, capt. Girden, in 34 days from Bordeaux, has arrived below. She sailed from Bordeaux the 11th Sept. and from Corunna, the 17th ult. The verbal information furnished by capt. Girden is, that the Emperor of Russia had refused to ratify the treaty negotiated at Paris by his minister D'Oubril; a measure, which it is presumed, will have an important effect on the relations of Europe.
On the 11th Sept. bets at Bordeaux were even, that Lord Lauderdale had left Paris, without effecting the object of his mission. We shall be able to give some details in our next.
POSTSCRIPT.
Since writing the above, we have seen a passenger in the Ocean who has politely favored us with a file of Bordeaux papers to the 11th Sept. containing Paris dates to the 7th. We have not time to translate more than the following:—
An article under the head of Paris Sept. 5, after detailing the progress of the negotiation between Russia and France, from its commencement to its conclusion, (which we shall have translated for to-morrow) proceeds thus :
"However, M. Ruffin, chancellor of the French consulate in Russia, arrived yesterday from Petersburg, and brings intelligence, that in consequence of a change of ministers, the effect of the new principles adopted by the Russian government, and the extraordinary influence which the English party has obtained over the new cabinet, the treaty of the 20th of July has not been ratified.
Thus hostilities between France and Russia, are about to recommence. The conquerors at Ulm and Austerlitz, are again assembled under their standards, and approach their triumphs.—More powerful in numbers, more formidable than ever, by that organization which has never been equalled, they wait with impatience the impulse of the great soul which animates them.
However, nothing can induce us to presume that a general continental war will be renewed.
In every event, the Emperor, as well as the French people, are prepared for all chances, and the armies of his Majesty will be found whenever it shall be necessary to combat for a durable and glorious peace."
