Since that period Mr. Baker has, in consequence of some dispatches from his Government addressed to Mr. Foster, made to me a communication respecting the intentions of his Government, as regards the Orders in Council. It was of a character, however, so entirely informal and confidential, that Mr. Baker did not feel him , self at liberty to make it in the form of 3 note-verbal or pro memoria, or even permit me to take a memo ,' randum.of it at the time he made it. As it authorises an expectation that something more precise and de. finite, in an official form, may soon be received by this Government, it is the less necessary that I should go into an explanation of the views of the President in relation to it, wore particularly as the Secretary of State is dAy e;pected, and will be able to do it in a manner nu;rz satisfactory.—l have the honour to be, &c. &c.

RUSSEI,t.. " Departtnent of State, August 10,18111. SlR—Thinking that it may possibly be useful to you, I do myself tae honour to enclose a memoran dum of the conversation between Mr. Baker and my self, alluded to in my letter of yesterday's date. I have the honour,Stc. (Signed) " JOHN GRAI!ANI.'I 300 0 62 4:i Memorandum referred — to in the :hove Letter. It Mr. Bakef' verbally 'communicated to me, for the information of the Presicknt, that he bad r,:ccived dispatches from Lis Government, addressed to Mr. Foster, dated (I believe about the 171.11 of ?one) from which he was authori*d t 4• say, than an official de claration would be sent to this country, that the Or ders in Council, so 'far as they affected the United States, would be repealed on the Ist of August, to he revived on the lst•of May, 1813, unless the con duct of the French Government, and the vesiilt of the communicaions with the American Government, should be such As, in the opinion of his Maje.ity, to render their revival unnecessary. Mr. Bak4l7tore over stated, that the Orders would be revived, pro. vided the American Government did not, within fourteen days after they received the official declara tio of their repeal, admit British armed vessels into their ports, and put an end to the restrictive mea ;tires which had grown out of the Orders in council. " The dispatches :tuthotisiug tls communicatiou f'2o 0 3 U to the American Government expressly directed, that it should be made verbally, and Mr. Baker did not considqr himself at liberty to reduce it to .writing,, even in the form of a noteverbal, or pro metnerAa, or to salter me to take a memorandum of his commuoica tion at the time he made it. I underwiod from him, that the dispatches had been opened by Mr. Foster, at Halifax, who, in consequence of a conversation he had lia„.l with Vice Admiral Sawyer and Sir John Sherbrooke, had authorised Mr. Baker to say, hat thew Gentlemen would agree, as a measure leading to a suspension of hostilities, that all captures made after a day toibe fixed, should notbe proceeded against immediately, but be detained to wait the future de cision of the two Governments. Mr. Foster had not seen Sir George Prevoti, but bad written to him by express, and did not doubt but that he would agree to an arrangement for the temporary suspension of hostilities. Mr. Baker also stated, that he had re ceived an xuthority from Mr. Fostee to act as Charge d'Affaires, provided the American Government would receive him in that character s for the purpose of enabling him officially to communicate the decla ration which was to be expected fr.Om the British Go vernment ; his functions to be understood, of course, as ceasing on the renewal of hostilities. " I replied, that although to so general and in formal a communication, no answer might be neces sary, and certainly no particular answer expected; yet I was authorized to say, that the communication is received with sincere satisfaction, as it is hoped, that the spirit in which it was authorized by his Go vernment may lead to such farther communications as will open the way, not only for an early and satis factory termination of existing hostilities, but to that entire adjustment of all the differences which pro duced them, and that permanent peace and solid friendship which ought to be mutually desired by both countries, and which is sincerely desired by this. With this desire, an authority was given to Mr. Rus sell on the subject of an armistice, as introductory to a final pacification, as has been made known to Mr. Foster ; and the same desire will be felt on the *re-' ceipt of the farther and more particular commusic.a. l tions, which are shortly to be expected, u ith respect to the joint intimation from lgr. Foster and the Bri tish Authorities at Halifax, on the subject of suspend ing judicial proceedings in the case of maritime cap tures, to be accompanied by a 4-uspension of military operations. The authority given to Mr. Russell just alluded to, and of which Mr. Foster was the bearer, is full proof of the solicitude of the Government of the United States to bring about a general suspension of hostilities on admissible terms, with as little delay as possible. It was not to be doubted, therefore, that any other practicable expedient for attaining a similar result would readily be concurred in. Upon the most favourable consideration, however, which could be given - to the expedient suggested through him, it did not appear to be reducible to any practicable shape to which the Executive would be authorized to give it the necessary sanction ; nor, indeed, is it probable, that if it was less liable to insuperable difficulties, it could have any material effect previous to the result of the pacific advance made by this Govcrnment, and which must, if favourably received, become operative as soon as any other arrangement that could now be and a quarter. I made. We congratulate our Readers on this intelligence.. "It was stated by Mr. Baker, that the President The brave Americans are covering themselves with did not, under existing circumstances, consider Mr. glory. This is the second frigate captured by them Foster as vested with the power of appointing a from the English since the commencement of the Charge d'Affaires ; but that no difficulty in point of war. These boasting marauders (briganti), who form would be made, as any authentic communica so vain-gloriously styled themselves the lords of the tion through him, or any other channel, would be ocean, are digraced, beaten, captured !—And by received with attention and respect." whom ?—by a nation whom they affected to despise! WASHINGTON, NOVEMBER 6. On equal terms too—ship to ship—man to man ! i The subject ef an embargo has been tip this day, Hew will these boasters (fanfaroni) gloss over this and is for the present at rest. Harper, from New second defeat ?—The old tale of disparity of men • Hampshire, she:tly after the meeting of the House, and guns will sot again impose on the world. The largest of the American frigate (all of which we stated that he had a proposition to make which, in his opinion, required s k ecrecy ; of course the galleries have seen in our port) only carries 40 guns,"—(lllo-, niteur Neapolitan. November 13.) i were cieared . He then observed, that there was such a scarcity of bread stuff in the eastern States as he believed called for a prohibition of exportation, and moved a resolution for an enquiry by the Com mittee of Commerce and Manufactures, as to the expediency of laying an embargo on wheat and flour. Newton, from Virginia, was for adopting the mea sure as one of general policy, and, therefore, moved a resolution for an embargo. The question has been taken on both resolutions, and they have been negatived by great majorities. WASHINGTON CITY, NOV. 7. Notwithstanding Mr. Harper's resolution for an embargo was negatived by a large majority, I am not sure but an embargo may be laid before the close of the Session. When the Presidential election is closed, and the people of the wheat country have dis posed of their crop, this question. will probably be again agitated ; many of the Members may then change their minds, and the vote be quite diXerent from what it was yesterday. [From the Philadelphia Gazette.) From the temper of some great people at Wash ington, it would net be surprising if a general arm is tice were to be proclaimed by the Ist December. In the highest administration circles in the city of Washington, it was asserted on Monday last, that the principal objection to a raconciliation with Great Britain, has been satisfactorily removed by the re scinding order of June '26. A distinguished Senator, whose standing and in fluence is inferior to none connected with the Cabinet, declared that the article in that order, reserving to Great. Britain the right, under certain contingencies, of reviving the orders in Council, in no degree dimi nished the effect of the rescinding clause. He had tlo doubt that by Christmas, a perfect tolderstanding . \could take place. • The war with England, even among. mo.ny the distinguished advocates of that ine:i.,tire, does not appear to have produced an indifference as to the conduct of France. It is currently reported at Wash ington, that but a short time elapse, before a measure of a very decisive nature will be proposed in relation to the contumacious conduct of Bonaparte. Perhaps no juncture could he more opportune than the present, to extort from this haughty and insolent Ally a small measure of indemnity for the conti nued injuries he has committed upon our rights and property. WASHINGTON, NOV. 10. Tl7e House met this morning at the usual hour, but there was nothing done worthy of notice. Mr. ritkin presented a petition from sundry merchants of • . Connecticut, similar similar to those presented yesterday Messrs. Mitchell and Pleasants—they %A re sent to the same Committee. A remonstrance from the Illinois territory, com plaining of the illegal election of a delegate WAS read, and referred to the Copmittee of Elections, and at twelve o'clock the House aJjotirned. What will the good old farmers of New-York and New England think ot such proceedings ? The country at war—without men to carry on the war : withont money and without munitions—and our Re_ presentatives, who are paid six dollars a day, rpclid ing their time as if the country were in peace and prosperity. Nov. 12.—The House met at the usual hour, but adjourned a i t twelve o'clock, as there was no business before them of consequence. • The Conirittee, to whom was referred the Reso lution relative to the Ccrumander ar:d crew of ti l e Constitution, reported, that the President of flu: United States be requested to present to Capt. Hull, a gold medal, with suitable emblems and devices, and silver medals to the commissioned officers, and also that dollars be appropriated to be distri. buted to the officers and crew as pi ize-money, in testimony of the sense of Congress of their br..very, &c.—The Report was referred to a Committee ot the whole House, and made the order ot the day fet Monday next. [pm the N}tlonal Intelligencer.] Extract of a Leiter from Messrs. Baring, Brothers and Co. of London, dated the 24th Sept. 181'2: 4 4 Our Government have ietu,eci to grant any more licences to import pruvisions from America, which, we presume, will put an end to your exports during the war.

" Boston, OctOtr.26,lBlt. 66 I arrived in this country, in 39 days, from Bris tol, and am much disappointed in finding the con tinued hostile appearance of the American GG vernment. The Congress convene next week, from whom ranch is expected. An embargo will be at tempted to be imposed, in order to prevent the use of British licences ; but the opinion is entertained that it will not succeed. As to the election of Presi dent, so great is the change of public opinion, that it is confidently expected that Madison will lose his election. Should this be the case, the country may yet be saved from that abyss of ruin and destruction into which a venal and corrupt Administration have plunged us. The difficulties, impediments, and obstructions which the Giovernment impose upon commerce, and particularly that portion which comes from England, are incalculable. Such proceedings cannot tail to open the eyes of the people, who, when aroused to a sense of the necessity of a radical change in the Administration, as 211 as the Government, will cause such an alteration in men and measures as i r will produce a permanent and lasting settlement of the existing differences between the two countries. What success the present dispatches, overtures, and propositions will meet With, we are not yet able to say. general A mstrong has expressed an opi nion that a favourai., termination will ensue. The whole country lobk with eager eyes and anxious ex pectation to the present session sot Congress. The sentiments of the people, in every part of the country, are decidedly against the war, and this winter will produce a great change in every thing on this side the Atlantic. Ido not think we shall have a settlement until the spring : we shale, however, ascertain, in 4 very few week;, who will be the next President, and the result of tae present ne. gociations will much depend ueon this election.— Should the opponent of Mr. Madison succeed in the election of President, peace will ciisur ; on ti.e con- trary, should Madison succeed, it will produce very serious consequences in this part of the country. Our privateers have not been very successful, and the re pulses of our two Western Armies render the war very unpopular." • 66 New York, November 10, 181 g. " The general impression here appears to be, that the pacific appearances of the Message and the cor respondence between Sir J. B. Warren and Mr. Monroe are, in consequence of the near approach of the Presidential Electip, and is conceived to be in• tended to operate upon the wavering democrats at the southward. We Federalists are inclined to think it will have some operation on the election, and at present cannot give a decided opinion :is to the re sult. But our next Congress Hill sheer the Govern ment how unpopular their measures are looted upon throughout the country at large. Not a democrat from the Northern States will hold his seat in Con gress next March. This change is radical s and per vades the country at large. The Administration may, however, this session, save tl.emselves the dis grace with which they are cover-tit by making terms with England before the federal Congress come into power.
