Now, therefore, 1, Janes !DIMON President of the United State% do hereby. pre( hint, that the said Edicts of France have been so revoked m that they ceased from the Is't day of the present month to violate the Neutral Commerce of the United States ; and that from this date of the present mouth, all restrictions impaed by Ow aforesaid Acts shall cease, aad be diacontioued inrefatinn to France and her dependencies. t. " In testhnony whereof, &c. dm. " Dated Nov. 2. '' "JA SI ES M A DIMON." The Proclamation is accompa!tied by a . Circular from the Secretary of the Treasury,, announcing the Nest DENVA Proclamation—adding, the French amid vessels may now be admitted into the bar. hours of the United States and, also a clause re. sheeting the revival of the Non.lntereourse Law respecting Great Britain, if her Orders in Council are not revoked hcfort the 2d February neat. Last night, Dutch Papers were received to the 2d instant; from which, in a subsequent column, we have given considerable extracts, and to which we must refer. They also contain a lung Decree, is. sued by the Emperor ALEXANDER, settling the value of the different sorts of money in circulation. It consists of '2O articles, the 18th of which is most interesting; it states, that from the Ist of January, 1811, all contracts, agreements, bills of exehaAge, ' atc..:itc. shall be stipulated for in Russian money, L turoughout all the governments without exception. The first of these articles also deserves notice : for in it the Autocrat lays down the principle=that he is not to do his subjects any prejudice in their individttal inter , sts, however great moy appear tile advantage to his Treasury. If ALExasnca will act uniformly upon that principle, and se..k the a:ts - and advantages of PEACE, he still may bid defiance to the Tyrant of the Continent, when. ever he may develope his plans against Itussi.t. It is now perfectly understood, that some firm attempt was resolved upon, by Ministers to Pao- StOGUE Parliament, as it is called. The two Estates of the Realm, however, will meet most probably on Thursday. The nerve of the Marquis WELLESLEY, could have held stout, but the pallid PERCEVAL shrank behind, his pulse failing, and his nerves undone. Some surprize, notwithstanding, is in. tended on Thursday. What it precisely is, we hare not positivity learned. We might hazard a conjecture without much fear of error. But it is not worth while; whatever it he, it behoves the two Estates forthwith to take one step— namely, to ascertain, by their own respective examination of the Physicians, the actual state of the Executive Power to ascertain, whether it has or has not, any b•gal operation and if it have not, then ' ( and from that moment) to restore it to its functions by the appointment-of a REGENT. For want of room, we defer to enter into the question of what shall be the fees and powers of the Regency.? It k important ono ; for upon it depends the very exist. vice of this country ! and we shall not long post pone its consideration.—But the firts object is, to' ascertain the true state of the ROYAL FUNCTIONS. That inquiry can no longer be set aside. Every act of the persons exercising the ROYAL FUNCTIONS is illegal, as long as the Rozat. PRESENCE is re moved by the visitation of Providence. No•autho rity is in existence, during that Unfortunate interval, for any one thing that is done. lie who suffers under any sentence, of any kind, or from any quar ter, is WRONGED. And he who enjoys emolument front the PUBLIC PURSE, or advantage of any kind from the STATE, is placed in the state of one deria• ing public benefits without authority! This is a serious condition, of things—some -suffer what no one has a right to inflict ; and others, live on SPOILS and ettiNneas, as really such as any Piet has entered the coffers of the GREAT SPOILS* of Eu rope, of the VILECST rr.nraleazit it confainsl— Will the two ESTATES of the KINGDOM permit things to remain in this condition of dissolution and disgrace 1--Meantime let the CoUrelair look to the. Continent, and let them tremble fur .the only army they have left! On Friday last, Mt. PEncefrAr,, the Chancellor pf the Exchequer, went to Windsor, and found the KING had hadja relapse. On his return a Cabinet Council was held, when it was determined to issue a circular totter to the friends of Administration, of which the following is the substamcc, if not the ac. tual words t r 4 Themerchants of Ilatuburgh are sail to have satiblieil tile demands of the Fretieb Government, for the present at least, by the payment of the 43 per cent. upon the colonial produce in their lands; hut they are still not pertnitted to trausmit tic other parts of the Continent. A Gentleman reached London yesterday, Who had found means to escape fioin tire Dutch coast. The invasion of England and a war with Ressia are the chief topics of conversatiou on the other side :of the Channel. The greatest, we caunut say the most unusual, activity (for our enemy is always active enough) . prevails in the ports of Holland ; and gnu-boats, particularly, were constructing the Scheidt, the Texel,. Goree, and the Mule.-- Heligoland was talked of as the place of destination fur this latter species of craft: A .great number of Danish seamen was said to have been procured fur the manning of them. Of commercial activity there is not the sfighteet appearance in the Dutch ports ; all idea of trading with England, either directly or indirectly, having been reiniquishel A Spanish Officer in the service of the new Go. vernment at Buenos Ayres readied London %ester. day, after having been detained at Monte Video , as a prisoner, under suspicion of being employed by the Junta of the former to procure arms fromn this country. Ile tells us that Buenos Ayres had raised a force of 4,000 men, who hind lately beet' fitted for actual service; and this ittitnber was considered sufficient for all the purposes of external defence and interior tranquillity. Trade was continued, and every one was enabled to follow his occupation ender the new Government without impediment from disorganization or other sources of disquietude. The Junta was composed of wise anti temperate men, who had acquired the confidence of the people. At Monte Video there had been an attempt to throw off the Sapreinacy of the Regency and the Spa nish A4ents. The ° military . force, consisting of 1000 men, had raised the standard of insurrection, and were proceeding to depose the public authori ties, when the navy interfered and suppressed the commotion, although not half so numerous as their opponents. Soma, the Governor, is a man of feeble talent, and is wholly controeled by three or four others, who preserve obedience to Old Spain ; but, excepting in the lower orders, there appears to be no ready disposition to obey the mandates of the new Junta of the capital, Buenos Ayres. A Gentleman who quitted Bourdeaux as late as the Ist of the present month, brings intelligence of a much later date than any prior, from the same si tuation. He states, that the French force which within the month of November passed through Bourdeaux and Bayonne for Spain, amounted to not less than '25,000, not including a long train of artillery. They passed the Pyrennees in three divisions, one of which arrived in the beginning, the other in the middle of November, and the last had not quitted Bourdeaux at the time he sailed. —On the 19th of November, a. [age transpoft of Spanish and Port ugnek prisoners, consisting of between 8 and 10,000 entered Bayonne on their way to the interior of France. He represents them to have been in a most deplorable condition, being most of them wounded and having scarcely any clothes •t 9 cover them. Among them was a more than usual proportion of Otticcrs, who were treated in no respect better than the private soldiers. All who were able to drag one kg after another, were compelled to march on foot, and the rest, eon cred with wounds and exhausted by disease, were crowded into open waggons. On the last day of November, a Messenger had guile threugh Bourdeaux to Spain with dispatches, end a few days prior, dispatches had been scot to Paris. Two reports were in.eirculation, one of which was, that JoSEPH was to quit Spain and return •to France, while IioNAPARTR in person conducted tire war ; and the other that, proeitled MASSENA gained a victory over the English, he was to be made King of the Peninsula. Additional and considerable reinforcements had received orders to march into Spain in the beginning of December. Provisions were plentiful in France, but in Spain they were scarce. The military road between Bourdeaux and the Pyrennees was a scene of unceasing activity. Respecting the conveyance of troops by the road of Perpignan, this Gentleman could give us no pteative idorniation. It was mentioned that about 40,000 men of the new recruits were to take that road, but no satisfactory autaurity had been stated fur this opinion.
