CHARLESTON, March 13.

Yesterday arrived the brig Aurora, captain Woodman, from Bourdeaux—The Aurora left Bourdeaux the 22d of January, and the river the 23d, as it was expected another embargo would be laid on.

The verbal information by this vessel does not confirm prior accounts of commotions and divisions in Paris.

The talked of Invasion of England was still pursued, and vessels of all descriptions were placed in requisition for the purpose.

The report of the day in Bourdeaux was that England was declared in a state of blockade; that Buonaparte's brother, the French minister at Rome, had been assassinated; that general Berthier had marched with his army to that city, and that the pope had fled.

Several letters of the 12th and 14th of January mention, that captain Pratt of the ship Federalist, had gone to Bayonne, to attend the trial of his ship; that from the clearness of his papers, and the cargo being American, they expected she would be cleared. Captain W. says that two days before he sailed, accounts of her condemnation were received.

The brig Jason, West, of Salem, and schooner —, White, of New York sailed in company with the Aurora for this port.

The ship Diana, — sailed for New-York the same day.

The ship Eliza, Bass, was to sail the last of January or early in February for this port.

Letters were received by the Aurora, from general Pinckney, but we have not heard their dates nor contents.

The following note was made by a gentleman who came passenger in the Aurora

Verdin Roa 5, 22d January, 1798.

Captain Woodman, of the Aurora, and captain West, of the Salem, being onshore this day at Rayan, dined with captain Gave-stantum, commanding a squadron on this station, who informed him that he had just received his orders to act conformably to the principles expressed in the message of the executive directory, respecting neutral vessels.
