It was natural, then, for us to press this upon the American Government,, and to desire evidence from them, that the Decrees were repealed.. To this, the only reply the Ame rican Government could, or did, make, was, that - BUONAPARTE. had declared his Decrees repealed, and that they were bound to believe his declaration. The rejoinder to this, on our part, was irrefragable and unanswerable ; that if a declaration is not acted upon, we are bound to consider it as null and void, and to shape our conduct as if ,it had never been issued : of course we declined 'revoking our Orders in Council. The American Government then adopted the measure of a Non-Importation or Non•lntercourse Act. Still we acted with for- bearance.; and though they recalled the American Minister we sent Mr. FOSTER. It might have been thought . that this was shewing a spirit of concilia tion, and that the American Government, who had received undoubted proof of the delusive con duct of BUONAPARTE, would tread back their steps with respect to us. The blockade of 1806 no longer stood in dui way of an adjustment. This the Ame rican Government have lately confessed. But we still adhered to our Orders in Council, because we found BUONAPARTE adhere to his Decrees. The above explanation may not be deemed an unnecessary preliminary to what we have to an nounce—That an Order of Council is understood to have been signed on Friday, prohibiting American vessels from entering British ports, except such as are laden with Flour and Wheat, and providing that they shall carry back cargoes consisting of the produce of this Country or its Colonies. PARIS PAPERS. Yesterday morning Paris papers were received. They contain an account of an enterprize performed by two British frigates in the mouth of the Gironde, in a stile. f steadiness, gallantry, and dexterity which recal and rival the most admired feats of Sir S. SMITH. The two British frigates in question, the names of which are not yet known, entered the mouth of the Gironde on the 24th August, came to anchor, hoisted lights when it became dark, re mained for the night, were visited by boats, which they detained, without exciting a suspicion, and sailed a&ain on the morning of the 25th, making use of the pilots who came on board' to convey them to a position, in which they were able to attack two small ships of war. one of which they took, and did TIDE TABLE.

The following are the Bulletins issued since our last:— " SEPT.

Little or no variation in his MAJESTY'S symptoms have transpired this day so late as seven P. M. He rose this morning at his usual hour of six, took a light breakfast, and exercised himself by walking through the apartment. At nine o'clock this morn ing prayers were read to him, and repeated this evening at six , o'clock ; and from questions, ration ally asked at intervals, a daily and important amend ment is observed, and its coufirmation hoped and expected. 4MERICA. A Cabinet Council was held op Friday in the presence of the PRINCE REGENT ) at which, we un derstand, it was determined to have immediate recourse to the measure of which the American Government were warned by Mr. FOSTER—a mea sure of retaliation. When BUONAPARTE issued his paper notice, declaring his Decrees repealed, the Government gave us to the 2d of last to revoke our Orders in Council—that is inths posterior to the time when BUONA id his Decrees should be no longer in that interval he took occasion more than &claw that the Berlin and Milan Decrees P r t.
