The regulations are drawn up with that feverity and ftrianeft which charalerife every proceeding diOated under the in fluence of Naror.low in matters relative to our Com rnerce. His fyfiem, for fome time, has been to employ every mean in his power to exclude us entirely from the continent of Europe, and he has now got all the different States fo completely under his controul that no choice (*tetra to be left to this Country but to fight him with his own weapons, and defiroy at once every reftige of a fyflem nen?, alit y. Such we under Rand to be the determination which our Government has now refolved on For tome time pa( the proteftion Afforded to neutral flags has been of fervice only to France—in point of fad no neutrality has been permitted by her, but what was for her own benefit—say, fo inveterate has been the fpirit with which NAPOIAON'S decree of blockade has been enforced, that even neutral velrels which have been captured and brought into Britith ports, and afterwards releafed and permitted to profecute their voyages, have been feized and condemned on enter ing a French port—for having been in an Eng'ilb harbour on their voyage ! ! On this point we have a faa to Rate which will Rrike many of our readers with inquire. Several American vcfrels (come of which we could name were it necefrary) have been limed in French ports under the above mentioned circumflances i but the American Government have employed no bully ing—no thrers—nor any intemperate language 6milar to that with which their journals have been filled againli this country. This conduit requires nocomment on our part—it requires anion, vigour, and inflexible adherence to the fpit it of thole maxi. time laws by which • the commerce of nations ufed formerly to be governed in times of war—but ex tended in its prit:ciple to meet and counteran the machinations of an enemy, whole conduel is not eircurnlctibed by any of thole principles which were formerly allowed to operate for the diminution cf the mafs of evils which are infeparable from times of hoflility. We are informed, and we believe our information home, that our Government has refolved to re• relate on France by a Proclamation, ezaaly on the model of the French decree of . blockade. Not only the coatis of Frarce and of Italy, but of every Eu• ropean State under the influence and controul of Nerortoru—as alto all foreign dependencies fo cir• cumflanced, will be declared in a nate of blockade, and all vac's ring to or coming from any of them, will be declared legal prizes. This will fettle at once the clamours of the Ame Titans refpedting their right to trade with the French Colonies—tarrying, or pretending to carry their produce to an American port, and afterwards so re- NI) the fame for Fsourdeaux and t....her French ports. We underfland that the definitive anfwer given by Knitters to Mr. MUNRnE (who has not yet taken hit departure), was exadtly conformable to the prin ciples that are about to be adopted. Mr. Mvsaoc, It hems, was inflrudled to declare, that fhould the Britith Government refute to concede the points de manded by America, the Non Importation AEI would immediately be enforced. The reply was, 4 , lam "fttinlnded by his MAJESTY to inform you, that the A t of fuch an order by the American Government will be confidered and held as a declaration of war." On the points refpedting the right of fearch, Mr. !Avant was informed, that this country will main taut its tight not only refpedling goods but fearnen— act even excepting American (rips of war. 1)11-patches were received on Saturday from Ad BIRIELLEY on the American Elation. They relate chiefly to the refult of a Court Martial, held ( " 11 hoard the MILAM r us, to try one or more of the &fetters taken from on board the Chefapeake. One `' f them was found guilty, condemned, and executed agreeably to his fcutence. SOUTH AMERICA. A Cabinet Council fat on Fi iday WI from twelve tortoni o'clock in the afteranon--met again at feven in the ever.ing,And continued in ;71.1: deliberation till three in the motnin;. The proceedings have been olneealcd with gteat care, but it is rumoured, that, 11 ": 0 ther tutafures decidell on, was the rezarture of Dumas Ayres, as indirpenfably requifite to wipe off the fligina brought upon our arms by - the fur render and evacuation of our conquefts in that quar ter. For this purpofe no lefs than so,ooo men, with a proportionate fleet, ate, it is laid, to be fent to the River Pl4te, that the conqueft may not be attended with procraftination. One great caufe of the O'.wnefs of our military operations hitherto, has been the arithmetical nicety with which the force has been calculated for the ac. complilhment of the intended objee—not allowing a tingle regiment, nay not a tingle man more than wee deemed indifpenfibly necefrary. This fytiem, to the credit of Government, is now to be abandoned. The fuccefs that attended our operations at Copenhagen, /hews what may be expelled from the more vigorous one that has been fubtlituted. ISLAND OF ZEALAND. It appears that by the occupation of Zealand, the &kith forces have fortunately anticipated the meafures of BONAPARTE, with refpeß to that Nand. The Kniphaufen fbip Minerva, Ktrut.sa mailer, has arrived at Sheernefs, with wine, from Bourdeaux, from whence fhe failed twelve day► !ince. The Cap* tain reports, that the inhabitants there had no idea of the Surrender of Copenhagen and the Dank t fleet, to the Britith, ,but k Was currently reported, that Bo,coo French troops were,gone to Portugal, and that Bess•P•RTI himfelf had proceeded with I 20.000 troops to HoMein, to endeav , ,ur to get pofieffion of the Ifland of Zealand. Captain KOHLER alfo fags, that there are near zoo fail of Danes now lying at Bourdeaux. PORTUGAL. We have already Hated, that the Taft Lain Mail brought intelligence of the intention of the Punts. guefe Government .o emigrate to the Brazils. It is reported that an application has been made to our Government to ;ICI them in executing their plan. All accounts concur in Hating that France is pre paring a large force for the invafion of Portugal ; and, on the face of it it, appears probable,that, with. out the affillance of a Britifh force, it would be im poffible to effect the plan of emigration that is talked of—but whether Government have come to any re folutinn on the fubjeft we have not the means of knowing. Could the meafures be properly carried into effclt, there is every probability that it would open up new commercial channels which might ulti mately prove highly beneficial; but there are fa many difficulties in the way, that we fhould be little fur prifed were the attempt entirely to fail. RUSSIA AND FRANCE. It is Rill rumoured that thefe Courts are far from feeling a cordial harmony. On this point alma all the private letters from St. Peterfbnrgh by the lall Mail are perfeftly agreed. Not only are the Nobles diffatisfied with the Treaty of Tilfir, but the Empe ror A LIZARDS& himfelf, it is laid, complains of hav ing been deceived by acccnnts pretended to have been received at the French head-quarters, Rating the de feat of the Ruffians in battle, that had never been fought ! General 13mm:saw, it is laid, but we can hardly credit it, has pu4Rithed a Memorial refpeeing the operations of the campaign before the conclufion of the Treaty, in which he more than blames the ap pearance of ALEXANDER at the camp, and the orders he infillad on being executed. He principally oomplains ofhaving been ordered to cover Koning(berg after the fall of Dant zig, a mea lure which he declared impraelicable without weak ening his centre and expofing his army to the danger of being penetrated in that quarter by the enemy— but the orders of ALEXANDER were imperative ! A little time will (hew whether there be any truth in tittle rumours. EGYPT. We are happy in having in our power to commu nicate the following letter from our regular Corref pondent at Gibraltar, containing intelligence of a pleafant kind refpating our Army in Egypt. The letter is not of fo late a date as the one we gave on Saturday, but its contents are of more importance : " GIBRALTAR, AUGUST 9. 4' Yeflerday the Swirrsuaz arrived from Malta, with the convoy for England and this place. Gene ral VILLETTIFR, from Malta, and Genetal Msans, from Egypt, are paffengers on board the SWIIT• SURE, on their way to England. The accounts from Egypt are highly fatisfaitory by this convoy. The Arabs were extremely friendly, and fupplied Alex andria daily with abundance of all kinds of provi ftont, and the Mamelukes had given every afforance of their good dill:1(4160n, and had explicitly offered to join us in expelling the Turks from Egypt, if our army there was increafed to ten thoufand men. The Turks were perfeCtly quiet and inaftive. " AUGUST i 5 SATURN and SWICTSURE proceed with the convoy to England the fire Eagerly wind, the SATURN being fo much damaged from run ning on fhore near Cadiz, that the calm t be repaired here. 44 The enemy's gun boats in this neighbourhood have of late been completely kept in check by the great aCtivity and exertions of Captain USHER, ef the Rstratho, and Captain Rarrr, of the Scour, the former of whom in particular has eminently diftin gnifhed himfell . by hib intrepidity and judgment in repeatedly purfuing and deftroying the enemy's gun boats and privateers, though under the protedtioa of their batteries."
