(Signed as above).' • There arc variourßeports in the City, respect. ing the Put Enemies Message to CONGRESS, and a great • deal of anxiety is necessarily occasioned' by . the uncertainty of our commercial con. nexions with America. Our Readers will see, in a subsequent column, a communication from Mr. GALLATIN, to the merchants in America, on this important subject. That will create new uneasiness among our merchants and mane. facturers here. To Ali we are sorry to add, that authentic intelligence (as we believe) respect. ing the PRESIDENT'S Message, is in onr posseision. From our vary valuable Correspondent in Liverpool, we have by this post received-a letter, which SURES,. that the Amulet'a ship, the Lasaiia r assivall at Abet port on Saturday Last, brings the Message, of which the following is the substance :—The PREOHANT alludes to the Act passed at the close of last Session, and speaks of it as hating induced Franco to repeal her Berlin and Mi. lan Decrees, which are mentioned as the ONLY pc,caL►3 affecting neutral commerce ; and then no. tiers the renewal of commercial intercourse with Erauce, consequent upon the rescinding of' those Decroes. He goes on to say, that it might have been expected, that France would also have made reparation for American property confiscated ; but that this expectation had not been fulfilled. He then proceeds to state, that the British Go. - vernment hail notified, through the American Nli- Ritter in London, their willingness to repeat their boxions Orders, as soon as neuvat commerce . dittidd he ACTUALLY restored lo its former footing ; and . that it had been communicated to the English Government, by the American Government, that not only the . Orders in Council must be aban doned, but that England must ALSO ABAN DON the GENERAL and ILLEGIIIKATE BLOCKADES) . • . I .: enforced by her various Orders in Council. Such is the substance of.the PRESlDE'sesSit.bsrge ; which, ,coupled with Mr. . Gam.attst's late communication, is quite disheartening enough for 'our merchants. My Lord Wtst,t.zst,cy gives ,no answer to the mer. chants applying to know if Guveromentwill relax their policy in this matter, and endeavour to conciliate AXERICA ; and it is said, his Lordship dues not feel himself competent to gilts any answer, under present circumstances. We hope this latter part of the intelligence is true. His Lordship will feel truly, and constitutionally, if be declines to au. thorize any act of the Executive Power, under the present suspension of the REGAL Functions.. :But, who dares now to say, that no material laconic.. silence has arisen, or arises, from such sospea. skin, unremetticti Y America is to be lost to us by the delay, and no material disadvantage follows I. This reasoning may become my Lord .Or Mr. PERCEVAL it may become, but there is not a man of COMMON SENSE in this country who will not spurn at it, with indignation ! This day arrived three Mails from Anholt, and two from Heligoland. We have made some ex. tracts from the Papers brought by them. It ap pears, that -the emperor ALEXANDER is raising 160,000 men, expressly to occupy the fr o ntiers of Poland and Finland ; and it is stated, that a demand has been made to the Court of St. Petersburg'', to restore Finland. ALEXANDER might have foreseen his approachinedangers some time since. Yesterday Government received dispatches from Lord Wer.t.tractora, dated' the 17th. instant. No material change had taken place in the positions of the two hostile armies. There had been some skirmishing, Main . FLNWICK, of the Bag,' was killed in one of these etairs. Ile best the enemy and took fr them a considerable convoy of cattle, but the Ma. jar was unfortunately mortally wounded, and seven men were killed. It is now said, th.►t elle report of the Attics being distressed for provitions 7,Y the noti.orrival of supplies . from England, is Brut true. WO hive observed an article in The Courier of S.iturday, vomiting the .11sscriasy of the . Royal Eteltm, and shall comment on It, o titic t to-morrow. The QUEEN and RaTtr. FAMILY heard Divine Service performed in Windsor Castle. yesterday ;. afterwards they went to Frugmore, and returned to the Palace at two o'clock.
