AMERICA NEW YORK, JULY 21. 105 SHARES, With several £lO,lOO, Whether the British Minister exceeded the limits of his authority in the late partial arrangement which he effected with the United States, we do not, nor can we at present know. But if the fact be as stated by Mr. Canning in the House of Commons, Mr. Er skine is perhaps not more blameable than our own Cabinet. The mode of managing diplomatic nego ciations is, imprimis, for each of the High Contract ing Parties to exchange credentials with the other._. Now, ..Ithough Mr. E. may have misunderstoxt the import of his authority, it is not singular that it should have escaped the sagacity of our Cabinet, that he might be exercising an unauthorised agency. But if, on the other hand, our Cabinet had not the curiosity to peep into Mr. Erskine's instructions, and he imposed upon their credulity by the assumption of an authority not delegated by his Government, then he has acted with the most reprehensible perfidy, and our Cabinet with the most pernicious folly. But if all have been done in honour here, and it. is the ob lique policy of the reigning Ministry in Britain to dis avow the legitimate acts of her Envoy, then, indeed, she has prophaned her ancient honour, and will stand convicted of the most barefaced instance of punic faith which modern Europe has recorded.—Palladium. . .

The British Minister declares that Mr. Erskine has exceeded his Powers. Until we cafi produce some evidence to the contrary, we have no right to discredit the assertion. That being the case, the Government does not hold itself bound to ratify his act. But are Americans thus to be tempted to hazard their property abroad, and then to suffer for their misplaced confidence ?No such thing--on the contrary, we have tha assurance of Mr. Canning, that as the stipulations of Mr. Erskine were confided in by our Government and people, they should not suffer for this error—that speculations entered into by Ame rican merchants,' and that shipments should have their course unmolested, or the adventures be indem nified, until the real views of his Majesty could be communicated to our Government. Then our trade will go on subject to the operation of the Order of April last, issued in amelioration of those of a pre= ,vious date, unless some new arrangement is made.— That is, our trade will have the same latitude it was to enjoy by Mr. Erskine's arrangement, and as qua lified by our own laws, except Holland and French' Italy.—New Tork Gazette. BOSTON, JULY 2.5. • By the recent arrival of the Beverley from France, our intelligence from that nation is nearly two months subsequent to the arrival of the pacific propositions of our Government, by the dispatch ship Mentor ; and yet we cannot discover that they have received the least attention from Bonaparte. We are probably to be attended to when he ceases to be ambitious, or when his ambition ceases to find food in Europe. He can at his head-quarters find time for any negociatious but for those with America. —Boston Gazetie. RALEIGH, JULY 18. • By the dispatch of Mr. Purviince it appears that the American property in France is in the same situa tion as heretofore, and no vessel can clear out from France without giving bonds to enormous amount not to violate Bonaparte's Berlin and Milan Decrees. The French Minister, it is said, is in favour,. as far as he dare be, of a relaxation of the decrees, but Bo naparte would not hear it mentioned.---/den:. The Free American, with Mr. Purviartce, the mes senger, has returned from France. By this vessel we learn, that the ships captured under the Berlin and Milan Decrees are still detained in France. How differently are French vessels treated here.- They are permitted to come freely into all our Otis:. With all our cringing and mean servility to ponaparte; he still treats us ungraciously and the most sovereign contempt. The dispatch by Mr. Purvianee words us no consolation for our hospitality, in admitting French vessels into our ports.
