Our government lately arrested suspected packets, addressed to the French Minister. It has opened them in his presence, had suppressed the revolutionary papers, which were enclosed. The money addressed to the same Minister has been given up as not contraband. On the 11th the government arrested two Nobles and two Citizens, for having been guilty of incendiary propositions. Their arrest has made no noise, as neither of them possesses either personal consideration or influence. At the very moment when our government manifests the greatest firmness in its conduct towards the Minister of France and his partizans, it has refused the demand made by the English to permit ships of war to enter the port of Genoa, to take under convoy a number of ships destined for England. They have answered, "that the Genoese will receive them very willingly, if they would cease the hostilities which are incompatible with their demands, to enter that port as friends, and if they would present themselves with the number of ships prescribed by the rights of nations."
