The insolence and injustice of Bowaratere we have always found to increase in proportion as the opposition to him became weaker. Twelve moutha.ago, nay, even much later, he condescended to flatter the American Govern ment, and to affect an extras rdinary tenderness towards the commercial interest of that country. This hypocricy is no longer necessary, and we accoraiagly discover that the shipping of the Visited States are seized with as little scruple by the French cruizcrs as if there was open war between that country and France. The following . letters announce some; recent captures. We shall be curious to learn in what light Mr. Jeri/seats? and his adherents will view this intelligence: — Copy of a letter from Capt. Lee. of the Mary. dated Boulogne Castle, Dee. 6:— " I have the misfortune to acquaint you, that the brig Mary of Philadelphia. under my command, was captured on the 19th alt. by the French lugger privateer Grand Napoleon dads pert. and carried in here. " The Mary was captured between this port and the English Aare. The cargo consisting of 142 tons of sweet nil, has been already discharged, and 1, as well as my crew, are kept as ;set in pison, though I have reason to suppose we shall he soon re- Ica,ed. i have not been able to ascertain the motive of this Ga. yerntnent for capturing American property, and detaining the subiectsa the United State; as prisoners, but time and patietve 'Op, no doubt, unfold their motives, and afford us redress. " I am, Sir, your's, &c. " L. T. Les." Extract of a Letter from Captain Nicolas Owings, of the brig President, from the Canary Islands, dated St. Valery, Nov. 28, ISOB : " It is with the utmost regret I inform you of my being cap ttired, on the 17th instant (November), close under the Isle of Wight, and sent into this place; and t have ever since been un der guard at an inn, and am not ;Mowed to go out of my room without some person to guard me : at thing that has never been known to be done in Francr before."

The Court was then cleared ; and, on its being re sumed, the prisoner was informed, that ho was found guilty of the foul murder of Capt.
