The Polish Lancers, who, in Spain, covered them selves with glory, have been for some time in our town ; they are distinguished for their fineappearance. MORLAIX, APRIL gs. An individual who left London the 16th inst. has furnished us with the following details, the authenti city of which may be relied on : " Commerce is in a state of stagnation difficult to be described ; Merchants dare not make any ship ments for the ports of the Baltic, since France so de. eidedly avowed her intention of excluding them from them. " What the French Journals have said of the im mense French forces marching to the Oder and the Vistula, has even added to the fears of the specula. tors. Press:ng never proceeded with so much acti vity as at the present moment. The privileges of the city have been infringed, and people pressed in it for nine days by special permission. Them is no exam ple for this innovation. " The colliers have also been subjected to the press. Out of 400 of these vessels 1,700 sailors have been taken. Every where depression is at its height. In the interior provinces the fermentation of men's minds continues to increase. Many partizans for war have joined those for peace. " All the proprietors of coal mines, the persons who work them, and the sailors who transport their produce, are ranged on the side - of the latter party. The dock-yards are filled with ships of war and trans port vessels, which are repairing—if popular reports are to be belived, they are int..nded for America. " The manufacturers continue to discharge their workmen. A new cause has just augmented public misery. The duty upon timber for constructing slat s has been raised to such an height, that mercitantmeri have ceased being built in England, and d cklards have been established in the colonies; great numbers of shipwrights and other workmen, are out of employ. runt." BERLIN, APPAL is. The following ordinance has just been issued : " In order to render still more compete our melluances, which have for object the interruption of all commerce with England and her colonies, and reader alt the attempts she may mate to I hifringe them nugatory, we have judged right to decree as fol lows:-.-Front the day of this publication, all importation of co lonial goods from Russia is prohibited without exception —so that all colonial products arriving by land, from Rifssia, into any of our proviuces, whether they have or have not paid in Russia the Continental 1 arif, or others in existence, and although they may .be accompanied by unsuspected certi ficates of-origin agreeably to the Cent nental System, shall be immediately confiscated, without any formalities whatever, for the advantage of our treasury. In return, the trade in all other merchandise but colonial produce, between Russia arid our States, continues to be permitted as heretofore. " All our faithful subjects, particularly those employed In the' Excise and Customs upon the frontiers, must conform to the pre sent ordinance—and in order not to curb by this ordinance, the commerce carried on in the interior of the country, with the old colonial products, or those coming from France or other States, which obst'rve with the most rigid strictness the Contineutal sys tem, eve order all our officers of Excise, from the present time, to give to senders of goods above described of snore than a quintal weight, a particular attestation in tierman and French, stating, that such merchandise did not proceed from Russia, in contra vention of the present decase. lu places where there are com mercial commissaries, these attestations shall be presented to them.

The concourse of people who assembled to witness the manteuvres was immense. Neaily at the conclusion - of the review, Prince-Poniatowski assembled the principal Officers in a circle, and ad dressed them as follows: ' a GENTLEMEN—The independence and tranquil lity of our counjry is again menaced, and important circumstances Lave rendered your assemblage neces-, sary. Whether the Power, whose ambition has so frequently desolated our fruitful plains, will listen to the admbnitions of reason, a short time will show : in the mean while, it is incumbent upon all to mani fest their devoted attachment to their country, and their particular affectioo to our Great Protector, by rallying around those colours, which his genius hiss so often led to victory. Gentlemen, remember that we owe the independence of our country to t greatest of heroes—that he merits our gratitude, oue' affection, and tie most profound devourm:—let us then be prepared to follow, either in the North or the South, the bright career of glory which his genius may trace." • - 1n an order of the day, Prince Poniatowski cow cludes his address to the soldiers as follows ; " Fellow Snld;ers—Remember the trophies which your brethren have gained in Spain under the ban ners of the Great Napoleon—emulats their deeds, and merit the highest reward...the thanks .01 tbo Fangerur el the Vouch." 4MBRICA.

If the nature of the service in which lam to-be engaged will require no other disburse ments than for my individual expenCes, I do not ap. prehend that these can exceed my private resources.

No. 11.—To leis Excellency the Governor General, 84c. in omit to hit Letter of Instructions. " Montreal, February 10, 1009. a SIR—I have the honour to ackn7wledge the re. ceipt of your Excellency's letter of instructions, the letter of credence, and the cypher for carrying on my correspondence. I have bestowed much pains upon the cypher, and am notwithstanding this, deficient in some points, which might enable me to understand i t clearly. I have compared the example with my owe, exemplification of the cypher, and find a differencsin the results ; and, as the present moment seems fa. vourable to the interference of his Majesty's Coven. ment in the measures pursued.by tht federal party in the Northern States, and more especially as the As.. sembly of Massachussetts is now in Session, I think it better to set forward immediately, than wait for any further explanation of the means of carrying oe a se. cret correspondence ; which the frequency of safe conveyances to Canada will render almost wholly ea necessary. Should it however be necessary at any time, I take leave to suggest that the index alone fur. nishes a very tale and simple mode. In if there is* number for every letter in the alphabet, and partite. Jar numbers for particular phrases—so that when I • do not find in the inslex the p articular word I want. can spell it with the hgure, which stand opposite to the letters. For example, ii I went to say that ' , troops ,are at Atbany," I find under the letter “ T" that number 16 stands for " coups," And number 125f0r Aihatiy." The intervening words " are at" Imps ply by figured corre-ponding with the letters to 4014 words. It w ill be necessary to provide aping lode; dent by addressin A the letters to Mr. —, at Mim e teal, sent, a sma , l mark on the corner of the gm lope, which he still understand. When he mettle it, he Will then address the enclosure to your Excal. lency, and send it (rem Montreal by mail. I will be careful not to address your Excellency in the body of the letter, nor sign my name any of them. They will be merely designated by the initials A.

It would reach tne in safety enclosed to -,--, Boston.",. " I have the honour to be, J. e'v." • No. S. " Burlington, Vermt. Feb. 14,1100 a sir—l have remained here two days, in ordek fully to ascertain the progress of the arrangemesa heretofore made, for organizing• an efficient °pewit tion to the general Government, as well as to become . acquainted with the opinions of the leading Peoples relative to the measures of that purty which has dn., ascendency in the national councils. " On the subject of the embargo laws there viol but one opinion—namely, that thy are unnecessary, oppressive and unconstitutional. It must also be ob.. .served, that t'le execution of them is solnvidioul. to attract towards the officers of Government the las miry of the people, which is, of course, transferabli.' to the Government itself; so that in case the State 4 Massachusetts sh'.uld take any bold step towards It sitting the execution of these laws, it is highly probe% ble that it may calculate upon the hearty co-opeess ! tion of the people cf Vermont. " I learn that the Governor of this State is no* visiting the towns in the northern section of it, resi makes no secret of his determination, as Command* in Chief of the Militia, to refuse any command fro* the general Government, which can tend to intent* the good understanding that prevails between the Cu. • tizens of Vermont and his Majesty's subjects in Ca- nada. It is further intimated, that, in case of a war. be will use his influence to preserve the State neutral. ' and resist, with all the force he can command, an attempt to make it a party. I need not add , that 4 these resolutions are carried into effect, the State of Vermont may be considered as an ally of Great 134 . tai".
