The object ol the Brest fleet was, in the first instance to surprise our squadron off Roche tort, consisting ol four ships of line, then to join the Uocheioi t, and proceed from thence to Feriol, where, united to the siua dron, their cnrntHned force would have a mciunteu to ju t,ail of -the line.

Embargo, has had a very material effect upon our market, and prices of most descripti(Jr7s"or American produce are much lower than they were last when we had the pleasure to address you ; twenty six vessels of the above-description .arrived in' this with ail her provisions, which obliged her to icturu to Flymoutli-XQ procure r fresn supply. The frigates belonging to the Brest fleet were a good way behind the line of battle ships, and hence we were ena bled to drive them under the batteries of thtr Sables d'Oloime. The t jesar was left keep ing up a tremendous fire upon them, and it was hoped would be able to tfrect their des truction. The Brest Iktt was in Basque, and expectations, as westated yesterday, are en tertained that their capture or destruction may be effected. Our communication with Sweden and the Baltict is at length opened, and this morning 11 of the 16 Clottenburgh mails due, arrived. On the 22d of Dec. 5 British and .1 Swedish ships of war, with a convoy of 12 merchant vessels, sailed for England, part of which were lost by the ice, and part captured by the jjanes some ol tne mizes were also lost irr the same way.

The opinion that a vyar will immediately take plsct betvven France and AlBtriiapears to be prevalent in almost every part of the Continent. The return of Bonaparte from Spahvand his journey to Germany, the move ment of the French troops, and finally the or der which;he has given to bis Vassal Princes belonging to i-the-Confederation of live Rhine, .are circumstances which appear to usalmost decisive upon the subject. Bonaparte has viewed with considerable uneasiness the mili tary preparations which 'Austria, has been, for some time making, and will probably partici pate the contest, with the view of overwhelm ing her before her arrangements are com- pleated.- vv '. .

Ju , S ,r; By the Gottetburgh mails, which ai-riyed) on Friday, a great number of private letter have been received. In several of tl'iose front Malmoe, it is stated on the authority of th last communications from St. Fetersburgh that, during the residence . of the King ami Queen of Prussia in tlrat capital, the Em per i or Alexander was studiously attentive to her Prussian majesty, from whose presencfe. fi was seldom absent. Her majesty is, in fact, rtpi escnted to have gamed, by her fascinaung manners, so complete an ascendancy overtha Emperor, as to induce a strong belief that shs had effected a material revolution in his sen timents wrth respect tp his political attach ment to France.

BREST FLEET. Three French frigates from L'Orrcntileg.. lined, it is presumed, to join the Brest fleet, were discovered by the British look-out ships oinhe French coast, and driven on shore. The Rochefbrt squadron had maile somo movement towards the sea, having pi oersted to the Isle of Aijr.. They consisted of eleven Sail of the line and frigates. Four of the fri gates had got on shore. Admiral Stop fort with seven sail of the line, was keeping a good) look out for them. , ' : '., . ; March 8. - Last night a mail 'arrived from Lisbon, brought to Falmouth in 18 days, by the-Wal-singham packet. 1 wo Spanish couriers with dispatches, have,iarrived in the Walsingham.
