We are now fully loaded, and would have sailed in a few days; but yesterday there was an embargo laid on all foreign vessels which had cargoes on board. It is supposed the reason is, that a great many of them were bound to Bremen, Holland, and Flanders, to supply the enemies of the nation. Four American captains have set out for Paris, with a petition to the National Convention, for liberty to those bound to America and the West-Indies to proceed. It will take 18 days for their return.
