From the U. States Gazette.
The Aurora announces the receipt of several files of French Newspapers down to the 10th of March. "The papers," it is stated, "exhibit, in the ordinary shipping news, the daily entrance and the daily departure of American vessels." The owners and underwriters, I am sure, would be very much obliged to the Aurora if he would inform them what has become of all those vessels which were departing in such numbers. In all probability they were burnt or sunk under the British orders in council, as soon as they had left the ports of France.
