Extract of a letter from Hamburg, dated April 27, 1799, to a Merchant in Philadelphia.
"The reports that exist of the Emperor of Russia having laid a temporary embargo upon a few of our ships in his ports, causes little or no sensation, as matters will easily be explained to general satisfaction, and we can fairly assert that we consider our situation at present such as not to leave the smallest apprehension of our preserving that continued tranquility which, thank God, we have hitherto so happily enjoyed, and which it is obviously the interest of the different belligerent powers to respect and even to support—of this we deem the past the best of all possible proofs, in spite of the unfounded reports which those envious of the advantageous situation of Hamburg and its consequent prosperity are ever ready to circulate."
