Silt—l have the honour to inform you, that his Majesty's ship under my command, this morning attacked three of the enemy's gun-vessels, carrying each an 18-pounder and 30 men, mooted under the walls of a - strong fen, near the town el Possitano, in the Gulph ot Salerno : the Imperieuse was an. chored about eleven o'clock within range of grape; and in a few minutes the et.emy were driven from their guns, and one of the gun-boats was sunk. It however became absnlutelv necessary to get posses sion of the fort, the fire of v.-11kb, though silenccd, yet (from its being regularly walled round. on all sides) the ship could not dislodge the soldiers and " that: of th&vessels' crews, who had made their escape on shore and taken shelter in it; the !taring' and. a party of seamen were therefore landed, 811 e: led . on by the First Lieutenant , Eaton Travers, and Lieu tenant Pipon, ot the Royal Marines, forced their. way into the battery in the most gallant style, under , R very heavy file of musketry, - obliging more than treble their numbers to fly in all directions, leaving behind about 50 rneu and 50 stand of arms. The guns, which acre 24-pounders, were then thrown over the cliff, the magazines, &c. destroyed, and the two remaining gun-vessels brought off. The zeal and gallantry of all the officers and crew hi this affair, could not have beeen exceeded, but I cannot find words to express my admiration at the Dialing in which Lieutenant Travers commanded and headed the boats' crews, and landing party, set ting she most noble example of intrepidity to the oihcers _and men tinder hin , , Owing to b, filing winds the ship was unavoidably exposed to a raking fire in going in, but the foretop. sail-yard shot away, is the only clomoge of any cone .sequence.

FRENCH COMMERCE. • MENEM/ BETWEEN BONAPARTE AND THE COUNCIL GENERAL OF SIANUFACTURLI AND COMMERCE ON TiDt 24T11 Or MAY, 1811. The Emperor alighthig from - his horse, after a grand review, which la s ted n e ar three hours, gave audience to the Council General of Manufactures and Commerce. 1 he Minister of the Interior.—W I have the ho.. nour to present to you the Council General of Ma nufactures and Commerce—Mr. Martin, President, Mr. Fermium, Vice President," &c. His Majesty.—" How do you get on with your manufactures s'nce I saw you at your worisbops ? You still complain, do'nt you ? You do not circu late accommodation paper ? You— M. Fernauz.—" I endeavour to regulate my en tetprizes according to my resources, and to have no occasion for paper." His Majesty.—" It is a bad expedient—things should never be forced—many have created _fictitious capitals in that way, and employed them in trading with England. I will not suffer such conduct. You should confine yourselves to the commerce of the Continent. France, Italy, soon a great part of Spain, Holland, and the territories of the Confederation of the Rhine, afford a sufficiently extensive vent for the products of your manufactures. English bills are discounted here. The son of Mr. Martin (pointing to M. Martin, jun.) has been dealing with :he Eng lish—he has discounted English bil6—he has failed; and in his fate you may see what will befal every one that has dealings with England." M. Fernaux.—" Our ma nufactures have become so flourishing under your Majesty's reign as to of ford a surplus for other markets, and those may be easily opened, notwithstanding the maritime war, by underselling the manufactures of England ; and thus the contraband trade. instead of being carried on to our injury, would, from the very nature of things, be turned against England, and in our favour." His Majesty.—" That is not practicable. You must limit your operations, and not fail into the in convenience of tco extensive and dangerous a com merce. I will have no contraband trade, pro nor con. It would still turn to the advantage of England— England, which we ought to combat. I vanquished her at Jena, because th.: King of Prussia would not make common cause with the Continent. He wish ,ed to profit by commerce, whils: the other nations suffered. I destroyed his monarchy : it was a great ' power. I pursued my conquests as far as Tilsit there I stopped—l might have gone farther—to Wil na—but I made peace with the Emperor Alexandcr, because he promised to accede to the Continen tal system, and to make common cause with me for peace or war, against England—a measure which had become necessary. I was desirous cf peace—l ' still wish for it, but with less ardour than formerly.; because it is now less necessary fcr me. It would have been greatly so, had I remained the mere sue, cessor of the Kings of France. Like them, I should have been on my knees before that powers for in short he who has no other choice must submit to necessity. 11 am not the successor of the Kings of France, but of the French Emperors; andias such I have the power of subjugating England. lam the Elephant. Den mark habitherto conducted her s elf ver y we ll, an d I have resPEted her. If I have subj ugated Holland land the Hanle Towns, it w as t h e English that corn pelled.me to do so. What occasion have Ito make conquests and to extend my dominions? Are they not already sufficiently extensive, and am I not suili ciently powerful ? I even offered to the English to preserve the King of Holland, if they would agree to restrain the war to *hat it ought to be, and to what it was before the treaty of Utrecht : but no—they would respect nothing. I was compelled to annex Holland, in order, on the one hand, to obstruct the inlets of their merchandize into the Continent, and on the other, to enable me to establish a navy, which lam about t., create. I shall shortly have one. I may, indeed, lose one or two naval battles, as hal al ready happened, because they are better organized ; but, at last, I shall accomplish my purpose—in three, in four, or in six years. In the mean time there must be no commerce with them in such articles as are prohibited ; and the merchants that attempt to con tinue it will repent their conduct. They may dude the vigilance of the officers of the Customs ; but I shall be sure to catch them, whether it be in two or twelve months after ; they shall not enjoy a momtut's tranquillity." M. Fernaux.—" Sire, as we can no longer have any markets abroad for our manufactures, it is of the greater importance to preserve those which we already possess ; and we entreat your Majesty not to permit the Commercial Treaty with Italy to be an nulled, which would bz the result of the adoption of the proposed new tarif. It• would double the duties, and greatly diminish our exports, by favouring the smuggling of foreign articles into that kingdom. I! its design be to encourage the manufactures of that country, your Majesty knows, that never Were they so prosperous as since the Treaty cf Commerce took place. Every one is satisfied with it." His Majesty—(after a short intcrval of medita tion)" But, whilst there is an actual glut cf your commodities, the consumers cemplaia that you sal your cloths too dear." M. Fernaux. — " The best expedient for making them cheap is to remove the obstructions to their ex portation from the Contineut, and to encourage the establishment of machinery, which would diminish the price of labbur." His Majesty.--44 But there would still be a mono poly." M. Fernaur. _ " Sire, there can be no monopoly where there is a competition among seven or eight towns employed in the manufacture of cloths, and in each of which there are from 25 to SO rnanufactoriei striving to undersell each other. Besides, if a parti- i i cular fabric yielded too large a profit, numerous com petitors would set up in the same line, who would sell their commodities it a lower price, and wages would thus be reduced to their proper level." His Majesty." There are persons who, to create a monopoly, put bills into circulation, and establish a paper money—such as M. rauin—persons who apply to the foremen of different establishments, and set them up _ as manufacturers by advAncing them rmoney. for two years at an enormous rate of intere st . Taenable them to give these usurious credits. they themselves are obliged to become borrowers. I s t h is the WU to carry on commence ?" M. F.- 46 Sire, the manufacturers are not to be classed with such merchants, nor with sinugglers. , . His Majesty.—" I have nevertheless granted ;h em large-mtcours, and would have assisted them with still greater advances, even to an unlimited anent, had I seen nothing more than a glut. But I have obterved, that in many instances it was unsafe; and in many others, that I was promoting the designs and coosmetce of my enemies more than the interest o f my own subjects; and upon this point I have tn ne 4 greater reason to complain of Irenchmen than o f the Hamburghers and Dutch. It was their tempi" and petulance that induced them to trade by way of the Baltic ; but that will not happen any M. Sire, we have farther to entreat ar c , in order to prmote the sale of our manufact ure , , t•liat•you would establish a commercial treaty uith the kingdom of Naples, upon the same basi s as tha t with . the kingdom of Italy." His m a jesty.-44 In compliance with your req uegb I have already caused the duties to be reduced."' M. F. 44 They have been replaced upon theirfoi, mei footing. To mike this re-establishment c f he avy duties take; it has bean decreed that the production s of French industry only shall be admitted for con. sumption in that kingdom—an illusory favour in re turn for that gave a preference to the cotton s of Naples and France ; for since foreign ccmmoditiet were exchided.iri.m• the 'titian territory, they c o wl only be obtained by clandestine consignments from England; add these heavy duties encourage se L y int - LAU lent importations from the e!epots in hialta and Sie4y." His Majesty.—" That is not iiglit—(meditating). We now !lase - cottons ; we shall soon have sugars and indigoes. lam told, that the beet root sugar of a•very good quality, and that it will not cue., higher than I f. 10 c. rer lb." M. Attegucs. — " Sire, in the leloniteur it mas cputed at l f. 49c. per kilogram." M. Sugar is only 7 sous at the Mamma l and the attempts to produce it here must displace s-me other branch of cultivation. There is, Picked, reason to fear, that the manufactures of Europ e will be transferred to North . America--:that the trade with India and South Ameriea will entirely taketbe route of the Pacific Ocean—aid that these unforte. nate wars .will cause Europe to lose all that supeno. r:ty .wh;ch : the arts-have given stover the otherquat leis' of the glebe and which have rendered them its ttiblitaries for so many ages." His Majesty-i-(in a tone of firmness and vigour). ". That is true; hat •to whom should this evil be at tributed.? .To none but the English. Was it nut thakviolatcd thitstreaty c f Amiens, and declared war,• tinder the pretext that armaments were going on lit all - my fiorts ?

In the Prow state of things there can be no neutrals. We shall see what the Americans do—whether they will de claxe war against England. I will maintain the BE !in and Milan Decrees.
