Having feen an extra& of a letter from Dover in an Evening Paper, mentioning that a round robin. had been entered into by the boatmen of Deal,which is erroneous, I now take the opportunity of awing the particular matter thatiprobably gave rife to fuck a report : A round robin is an inftrument in which the parties are in Come meafare afhamed to avow the fad, and not one of them individually will come for ward. Now the reverie is the cafe here, as they have deputed proper perfons concerned in boat' s ; and it is a pleating circumflance to contemplate, that in the iOand we live in, every one, rich and poor, are under the prnteding influence of mild, impartial, and effi cient juflice, conlequently whether owners of boats, or, upon the larger Peale, (hip owners, meet for the benefit of their propel ty, whether for an increafe of freight at Lloyd's, or a fair and equal remuneration for fervices rendered by boats opal the coati, are fy nonimous. The utility of the boat people upon the coal, particularly at Deal, where the great rendez vous of (hipping is, mull be acknowledged, and any unjnft influence or controul exerted by particular perfons arro,,rating to ihemfelves an authority from the body of underwriters to fupercede the paying , them for their exertions and rifle, is far, very far, from the defire of thofe Gentlemen at Lloyd's. The boat people here, Sir, have not refuted to affift the 'hipping, except in carrying them to Ramfgate her. boor, where they relate Come perfons have *fumed a power to fettle for the fervice of the boatmen, and in feveral recent inflances it has been alledged, they have not been remunerated, and that it is the inten tion of thole perfons to bring any future Cervices ren dered, under the refiriftion of common pilotage.— Now, Sir, every man converfant with this coati mutt know, that in fevere gales of wind, from one vcicl driving on board of another, or other incidental mat ters, frequently all their anchors are lon, mall, or bowfprit gone, and in tie midn of a hurricane of wind, there people launch from the beach at silk of life, not only to preferve property, but lives. If their Cervices are to be eftimatea as common pilotage, there is an end of all Itimulus for immediate prefer ration, and the boats mull revert to what they were thirty years pan. To evince the futility, let us take a retrofpea e f matters then, for it is well known to many perfons now living and locally Mussed, there were feldom lets • than from tea to twelve veffels wrecked in a winter's gale upon Sandwich Plata and if nut totally loft, au immente expence incurred Ito the owners for falvage charges, for what might be Caved. Since encouragement has been held out, boats have been built, able to endure any weather, and are con:body truizing. or ready to launch in the greaten extremity of weather, for the good of the merchants, as v.ll as their own emolument, and when it is known that fuck exertions are opt °FAN , common deferiFtion, that the boats alone colt -from ascii. to 3001. and obliged to be worked by twelve, never leis than ten men, what would common pilot. age do towards the wear and tear, labour of the ped. pie, not taking into account ability, knowledge of, Ramfgate harbour, which in night time and in gales of wind. is always di ffi cult and dangerous to limn gets? In former times, twenty veffels have been 101 l I upon the Goodwin Sand, and a number of valuable l lives, in one twelvemonth ; now fcsrcely in that time one ; and at the hazard of their own live. do they always go off to the affillaace of the dillreffed, with out an idea of remuneration. Authentic documents of pan occurrences can prove the fads. Has not diminution of lots and difirets been e.ffaled ribvioully from the improved lice cf their boats, and their ex ertions, brought foith by the liberal rewords of the jrade of this country ? The helm people only roma the fair and equal right f the acknowledged /am of the land, an arbitration to ad;rift any difference: that occur, and not to be forced to a tribunal foe adjudi cation, where they base no voice, and told, if they do nos like the award, they .(ball have none, or to that effelt. The boat people hive not.nlislity to op pole a body of men who might be determined to op. preli, but they have a right to exert a becoming le- gal refillance to what is not fair and equitable.-- They do not wills the remuneration for their Cervices &cold I.e confibed to any particular let of men: pro feifional men, mutt be the belt informed, and in ma terial fervices they have ever foundjullice dons then . by reference made to gentlemen in that line, of chit• rafter and refpedwbility in the city of London. woos, AMERICA • ' New Yolic;Nov. hail been favoured with the following intere4ing extraft of a letter from Alexandria, the contents of which our readers may rely on as faa mezandrh. 1 94 OR. 1806.

TALLIVRAND demanded the full powers of Lord Itaasrouvw, who judged it not expedient to with-hold the produltion of them any longer (Papers No. 23, July as), a Rep which did not receive the approbation of our Cabinet. It was argued, that by his inflrudions he was to defer that aft until after the French fhould revert again to the uti poidetit, the balls of the Treaty originally propofed by them (elves; but by the delivery of them nn the very $' day after the Signature of the Ruffian Treaty, an imprelEon might be created unfavourable to the farther progrefs of the Negotiation ;" a eonceMon, in vain demanded before, made at that feafon, might have been attributed to fear in our Government, and increafed the demands of the enemy upon us. Be tides, the inaruments of the Confederation of the Rhine, placing fo great a part of Germany effeftively under the Government of NAPOLSOH, had then been figned but four days ; if either, or both of the two great Powers of Germany might have come to en tertain any hope that the effett of that projeft could be defeated--to have feen a feparate peace eonclud al with Ruffia two days after that fatal tranfaelion— and in four, a Minifter of England opening hit full powers to treat—it would appear to have their con currence, and that there was nothing left to them but acquiefeence. The reafonings by which Lnrd YARMOUTH de fends the Rep he had taken, are inferior, perhaps, to thefe in flrength ; yet is their weight fuch, as in or dinary cafes might defend an Ambaffador in exceed ing his ;nitrations, and in jullice they ought not to be fuppreffed. No joint or provilional Treaty could have been con cluded, unlefs the Earl of YARMOUTH had produced his powers. NAPOLEON was Rated by TALLBYR•ND to have many plans in agitation to extend his dire& power and his influence. It was on the Bth of July (No. 19, July 9th;, that the French Minifler, ad. mining the exigence of the plan of the Ferltratien of the Rhine, affured Lord YARMOUTH and M. d'Ou sus, that " if Peace was made, Germany Ihould remain in its then exiding Rate." (No. st, July t 9) This fall is repeated in dilpatch (No. aft, July 30). In jußice to Lord Yana/ova-Ir, we here fay, that any cenfure which may be erroneoufly paired upon him, ion the fuppofition that it was for the flat time by him Rated in No. 28, thus falls to the ground OW No. 30, where the Paper No. a t is copied sannoriltr.) The eminent Statefman who ran into this error, Co eafy to be committed, would have thanked us for this cot-ration—his furviving friends, wbo are infpired with his fentiments on the like occafion, will receive this remark in the fame manner. The powers of Lord YARMOUTH not being produced, that plan was finally figned on the 17th. If England would have negotiated before d'Ou atm figned the feparate treaty for Ruffia, it is evident the might exped better terms for [midi. It was with this argument TALLEY• RAND had preffed our Ambalikdor, when he told him the Ruffian Treaty would be figned in two days—an event which took place—(No. 28, July 30.) Thefe two events Rem to have given a certain de . gree of credit to the declaration of TA tux o, that the only probability of putting a flop to the ulterior projcdts of N•voLaoa, which he had communicated to Lord Y. was by his beginning to treat in form.— Tilde were, to march the army affembled at Bay onne, to feize both Spain and Portugal (No. 22) ; to cad a new change in the Government of Switzer land (No. 28), and to carry into execution the mea farts he had before dated to be in preparation arida the Todd& Empire (No. ix, June 33). The Me motial OSSI!AST14111 to the Rats E 3, and the deprivation of the Horpodare of Moldavia and Wal lachia, flew that Inch defigns were really then enter tained ageing the Porte. A demand war alfcr faid to be made by Prof4a refpeffing Hanover ; and it was intimated, that ankh a formal negotiation was opened. it mutt be fecured to that power. The great internsl difirefe of France, and the utility of A per meson* peace to that country, would on one fide tend to induce a belief that there obje&a weed be facrificed to obtain it ; the thano3er of her Camas would oppofe it : we fo hold the latter opinion, as not to reproba►e former. But the bell remedy which remained to be applied after this coned:Goa, to convince France and the other States of Europe, that we were net carried away br that eagernefs for peace it might be, conftrued to imply, was the appointment of a Coadjutor to Lord Irmistourt, and feemingly on this uccouat Lord LAUDCROALI vas joined with him in the Negociation. But prior to his arrival, General CLARA' had re ceived from NAPOLIOII full powers to treat with our Mioilter. ".He had acquired the temporary triumph of reducing d'Ousett to fign the feparate Treaty, and be opens his couferencffs with the Earl of YAIL. Moo TH, by repainting it, as to its effedon the Ne gotiation, to be equal or• fuperior to any fuccefs in war ;" that terms more advantageous and now be allowed to France ; that if Hanover more to be re. Bored, Pruffia mull be fuffcred to have an indemni ty ; he demanded alio. that the Cape Otould be free pert ; and that divers reflitutions firould be made to France and Holland of our acquifitioos in the EaR and Welt Indies, in Africa, and the Continent of America ; and be declined treating on the fubjea of Sicily, on the fuppofition that Lord YARMOUTH ought to wait to receive inftrudions from England on that head, in cenfequence of the article upon it in the Ruffian Treaty ; and he informed him, that if the Peace with England were not rapidly concluded, France mull lay afide the confideration of it for foam months, as the mutt apply herfelf to her ulterior views. —(No. 25, July 2.4.) At this period Lord LAUDIRDALR'S Miffion com menced—who, as more fully acquainted with the intention of this Court, was to take the lead in the Negotiation (No. 29, Auguß 2.) Immediately on his arrival in Paris, the two Englith Minitters deli vered in a joint note to the'French Plenipotentiary, General CLAIM!, in which they claim to treat folely on the original balls of the sitinfidetit, modified by the conceffion that Sicily might be exchanged for a fatisfaBory equivalent. Mention is alfo made in this Paper of the great acceffion of power to Miro:am' by the change effeBed by him in Germany, during a period in which he was treating with England on a principle to which that all was repugnant: and, it was added, that England might alfo form views in other parts of the world of infinite importance to her commerce, and the power of her Empire (No. gs. G. Auguß 7. This Note was delivered at a conference, in which Lord Y. recalled General C 's recolleBion to the circumftances of his having conftantly affirmed the all polfrletis to be the only bails on which he could treat ; and the French MMiucr affededtu tontider as Mole what has paffed on that fubjea. and nothing more than political reveries (romans) (No. 35, letter, Auguß 9.) To our Ambaffadors' joint Note he gave a written anfwer, in which he Rates, that Naroxsox confidered the Negotiation as already brought to mans' ity ; but that a retrograde dire lion was now given to it. He oblerves, that its eftablifbed balls ' were io faa two : the firft, that the Treaty thould be for the hellion; of the two Contrailing Powers. and of their allies; and of a nature the matt perma nent which could be given to it': and the fecond. the right of each tb interference and guarantee,lvith regard to Contentntal and Maritime affairs ; and that it never could have entered into the mind of the Emperor to treat on the art poisidie—a principle which would have Induced him to have, retained all his conqueßs from Auftria. Gets. CLARKe alfo re, infills upon all the ceffations on the part of Great Britain which he claimed in his firft conference with Lord YARI6OUTH ; and reproaches our Plenipoten tiaries with the interminable delays following their mode of Negotiation. (No. 35, D. Augui 9th). In their reply, which was delivered on the day they received General CLaaaa'S anfwer to their Paper, they decline entering into the topics brought forward by. General C —as leading to matter to ba avoided in fa& important difcuffions—limiting them• felvis to objeaions to Come new affertions contained in that intirument, and refuting the charge of delay urged in it r.and, in a Note to M. T Do they demand parports to relate to England. The American• Non-importation Ad, palled in the laR Seflion of the Congests, has been carried into execution by the feizure of fome of our vefids in the port of Charlellon, whofe cargoes have been landed and lodged in the Collom-houfe force. We have not learnt whether the fame rigour has been exercifed in other places, but probably it has. In confequence of the above important information, a Deputation of the American Merchants waited on Lord Geer mug yeferday, to receive infiruiliona with refpea to the line of conduct molt prudent to be adopted under the exifling circumitances. The anfwer they received was, we onderftand, that what- ever inconvenience might have been experienced, there was very little likelihood of its being of long duration ; aml bat little alarm has of coutfe been excited by the occurrence, which, though of ell up pleafant defeription, is certaily not portentous of any very injurious refult to our commercial inters*. The accounts from the North of Europe continue to report the Defeat of the French in Poland, The ne NM however, clef no credit. It is the old .11irry travelling from port to port, am! from all of them in fucceifion may we expeft to receive it.
