The Victoria, from her having left Bordeaux on the 15th February, ought to have brought some news—but we hear nothing but the continued exertions of French preparations for the invasion of England. A gentleman, however, has promised us the loan of late French papers, which, we presume, will contain something new.
PER THE VICTORIA.
By letters from Bordeaux, dated the 11th and 14th of February, we are informed that the law authorising the confiscation of all neutral vessels having British goods or manufactures on board, took place the 4th of February.
On the 9th of February, accounts were received there, that all the English merchants in Hamburgh should depart immediately. This is said to be a consequence of the above law.
It is also said, that troops have been ordered to march to Hamburgh, Altona, and Bremen, to prevent the importation of English goods.
No insurance, excepting against the dangers of the seas, can be effected on American vessels, and they dissuaded their correspondents from making any shipments in the present state of affairs.
