Ft cm the Reporter , of May 7, 1814. The news from France, relative, to recent French fucccfles, is generally confirmed by Englifh accounts by way ?f Bermuda. Many of the federal pi hits on the feaboard, notwh Handing this confirmation, artccf, to believe that tbcallie. are

advancing towards Paris. It would, no doubt, be very gra fixation, and we thing it the

tifying lothe allied lovercigns, to wit: the king or rruliia, and the emperors of 'Auftria and iufiia, to vifit the capitol cf the French empire in perfon. It would be a kind or iet off, a returning ot the compliment cf Bonaparte, who has vihtnl Vienna leveral times, Berlin frequently, and, as the Huflians and Krench, too will long remember, Mofcow once. It is due to Napoleon, however, to remember, that the latter

way

of fhowim our

cit y was not burnt by his order, but by the directions of tte Tartar governor, Rofiopchin. Neither at Ljerlin, Vienna

Of at Madrid, did he fuller pillage, or the lealt dcurUCtion of

the monuments of the arjfc. In addition to the news from France, there is intelligence

from England of an itttereftinq nature. It is faid that com mi(Eonerft on the part of the Britifh government had been fent to Oottenburg to meetthofe of the U. States, in order to treat of peace it is further reported that filch was the flfedl of the information carried out to England by the def patch veflel the Bramble, that an expedition, defined againfl this country had been laid afide. Wc know not what reliiince is to be plated on thefe rumors ; but if they are well m ivjded, they certainly haf a very pacific appearance. Tbe Bramble was the vefiel that arrived at Annapolis lo41 mv inter, with a letter from lord Caftlereaghto mr. Monroe, proooijna to treat tor en accommodation of differences, either a t London or Gottcnburg, and returned to England with Rir Monroe's a nfWert accepting the offer, and designating the Swedilh town as the place of negociation !?elTrs, Clay
