(Segued) • NAPOLEON. By order the Emperor, The Secretary of State, (Signed) H. B. MARET. As a Supplement to this Decree, there is in the Official Journal the following Circular !Alter, ad dre4sed by the Miuiater of the Interior to the Chamber of Commerce : " Top are ant unacquainted, Gentlemen, with the late acts of the British Government, that last stage of the op pression of the commerce of the world , you know that it has re►olved to destroy the feeble remains of the independ epee of the seas. It now thinks proper, that henceforth no ship shall navigate the seas, without touching at its ports, without a tribute to its pretended sovereignty, and without receiving from it SO ignominious license. " Thus the Occean is henceforward only the field of sla very the usurpation of the most sacred of the rights of nations is consummated, and this tyrannic yoke is to press upon then) until t►e day of vengeance, or until brought to a due FA use of moderation, the English Govemment will itself calm its rage, and break that sceptre to which the stations of the Continent will never consent to submit. . I am calling our (MMUS attention to the important circumstances which must powerfully induce us to awakes your patriutistn and your wisdom. One would have saes. glued, that every obstntetion and restraint that clogged the course of the commerce oa the Continent, had been ex hausted; still, however they are going to be aggravated by the measures lately adopted by England ; but they will find our minds made up to struggle against, and to overcome, this new mode of oppression. " We must not shut oar eyes to the consequences. Impor tation and exportation, already so much restricted, will soon be much more so. Every thing connected with Maritime Commerce ; every thing that depends upon it, will now be liable to mare Moraines ' to more uncertainty. There are, however, two channels that still remain open. " The power °redacting every ship that renovinces the in dependence of its national flag, by a shamefuraubmissiou to the British Sovereignty, and by assigating under a British Serene, will open • wide Said to the hopes of our Com manders. Sort a resource will sot prove ineffectual, and ?mach commerce wilt not devote dwell - uselessly to that sort of warfare which sever lets courage, dexterity, and decision, go unrewarded. as We have moreover to hope that neutral 'ship' will elude the vigilance of the English cruisers; the immense extent of the coasts of the empire will favoanand protect their enter prises. " These resources ought not he undermined, nor counted fur nothing. France will submit to a temporary situation, which ran only change with time, sad with sew exertions; but her enemy dull nut deprive her of the eosin hens of her prosperity, her internal conimuMew km, her relations with the Continent, where she on longer refs air: bat friends us allies ; her soil will nut be km fortre, her inehnory will - not maintain itself the less, though depr.ved of some materials which it is not imporailik to repla. r. ." To this last proposition I am rather anxious, Gentle men, to direct your attention. You have advice to give, and maniple* to hold out to consitterce. Yon must already fore see the diet of the privation of certain materials ' more es peeially of cotton. and of ingredients for dying cotton, of which a quantity has been stored up in FrelliCC : that which we shall derive from this Levant, and tint which, at a more distant period, we shoal reap trots oar iudigenous 'culture, not unsuccessfully essayed, will suffice to support, In a great measure our niassfacturea ; but, in 'Ore expectation that some o f them may experience privation', we must have re course, as far as possible, to hemp and Soy in order to pro. vide occupation for those onannfacturess - who would no longer be employed with articles' of cotton. It were desirable that we should circumscribe out tunannnptioa within the products, of the materials the growth of our soil, and restrain the un happy effects of habits sad taste contracted fur pianoforte:es that would render us dependent span foreign conntriesi. "The materials for dyeing may become scarce—but many of thews may be replaced by the productions of our soil. We will dispense with the rest by a stied sacrifice of some co lours which may please from their apparent greater beauty, without adding any thing to the istrinuic goo&ess of the ar ticle. Besides, no smut reliance Is to be placed on the go.~ nins of our monwilieturen ; it will triumph over those " The channels, which, in spite of these merest - ions, will remain open to importation may not suf fi ce fur the consump tion of memo and coffee ; these objects of a secondary utility may heroine 'carte ; but the great mar of the nation s ill not suffer from this temporary privation : habits of indul gence too widely allowed will be coaster - acted and restrain ed by the rise is the price. " And besides, is it to be oupposeil that the Great ?Cation will allow 'trek - to hr intintid.itcol by Use privitibti of some futile enjoyments:—Her comers have 'tortured, without a murmur, the most pinching wants; that'grcat example will not have been held out in vain ; and when we have In view to re conquer the Milt penitence of the iess ; when we have in view to reseise and redeem commerce (nun the minutia acts of piracy that ere joridically Exercised atralast it; when we have in view the vindication of the national Minot*, - and the breakiug down of those farce ceadave whtch England is all tempting to caret spoil oar cussts,*the French people will suppurt, with the dignity and the courage that belong to their great character, the momentary secriikes that are imposed upon their taste, their habits, and their industry. The com merce of Europe will soon, no doubt, he rescued fr.ou op. petunia. The interest of natium • i the boson, of Sovereigns the InftrililliMOUS rewolutiom of the most powerful of the Attics of Fraece ; the power and with of the limo who rake over us; else *tire of a ranee to which Heaven will grant its protection ; every motive concurs to decide the contest ; nor can it• issue remain uncertain. Accept, Gentlemen, the maniocs: am) sowtre esteem. (Speed) " CR ET CT. MADRID. DF.C. P. The French arms-, under the command of Ge neral Juuut, arri►ed on the 26th of Noranlrer at A brumes. The advanced guard had entered that city before the Portuguese Goveniment khew of the army ha►ing merited. The troop+ marched ten leagues a day through bad roads and mutant rain. As soon as the Prince Regent was infirrmed of the proximity of the Freud. troops, intrigues were set et work on all sides, and the Prince resolved to embark on board the ships with his treasures, and every thing most precious. On the 30th of November, the advanced guard of the French troops arrived at Lisbon and on the hit, the an niversary- of the Jay on :rhich the House of Bra genre rose prinit the Spaniards, ad hated its standard against theirs, on that same rlaT the Bra ganca flag was replaced by that of the trench. To this singular circumstance, which the Portuguese superstition did not fail to remark, was added another—A horrible earthquake was felt six hours before; but the moment the French flag was hoisted, the tempest ceased and the wrather be ctult.t serene. The six Portugu , 3e ships of the lime, laden with women, children, furniture, &c. without w a t er, badly provisioned, set.saiLsoine say for the Bra/lb, but probably for England. There was a moment of fear; a great city like Lisbon has more risk to run in such moments, trca a revolution on the part of the populace, than on the part of the enemy.—. But a French battalion arrived in time to establish order. _ _ The success of this Expedition, remarkable for the extraordinary promptitude of the march of the .troops, and the activity of the General in Chief, last placed in the hands of the French fax frigates, twelve brigs, four sail of the line, several ON t h e stocks, and an arsenal well stocked with timber and iron. . . All the English property, whether moveable or immoveable, has bee* put under sequestration. SAYOPINF, DEC. 17. The report circulated relative to the departure of a Spanish Prince with the Braganca Family, is iu some measure confirmed ; but the circumstance is diem importance than was at first supposed.— The Prince is Don Pedro, sou of Don Gabriel, brother of the King of Spain, and a Portuguese Princess, the issue of a branch of the Royal House. The two Parents of Don Pedro died suddenly, and the Prince, though an Infant of Spain, was sent to Lisbon a long time ago, brought up as a Member of the House of Braganza, and destined, as we hear, to marry the eldest daughter of the Prince of Brazil. All "the letters from Lisbon affirm' that the Frtneh troops observe the best discipline. The batteries are st•engtheni.ig on all the attackable point, cf the coast. FIAXIICIPORT. DIC. 21. All the English who are at lennit have quit ted that city, to take the road to Trieste. We expect, as soon us the Austrian Cabinet has heard of the evacuation of Brannau, that it will adopt mine general measure to put an end to all colnmuni cation with England. COPENHAGEN, DEC. 13. The Merchants at Copenhagen presented a Pe tition to the Prince to authorise, under the su perintendence of the Police, a Correspondence with England relative to the personal affairs of Danish subjects, and to establish a distinction tr twcen objects sent on English account, and those destined to reimburse the Dutch Merchants.— The Prince has just sent the following reply : " f must acquaint the Trade, that it is impossible . modify the Orders cootained hi the puldications of the litis aicl tetb September.-- !

We have received Paris Papers to the 7th {wit. They contain a new commercial Decree, pubiiihell by BONAPARTE, declaring that all vessels, which shall have submitted to be searched by au English bhip, or to a voyage to England, diall be goodaud lawful prise ; that the British Isles are to be in state of blockade, " by sea as well ashy land;" and that every vessel, of whatsoever nation, engaged with them or the Colonies of England, in trade, directly or indirectly, shall be good and lawful petze.—The English Orders of Council, of the 1. of November, regulating and restraining central commerce with France, are the alleged grounds for this extraordinary measur.r.—BOWAPARTE, his revolutionary jargon, asserts, that these den have deliatemalized the vessels of all E. rope, in relation to France ;- that is, divested them of all character and country, and of the re fection of their flag; and therefore he is called upon to adopt a similar measure with respect to neutrals trading with England, or directly or directly contaminated by her torch. As the swarm with our cruisers, the effect• of this Dec , must be the annihilation of all foreign Comm' will France; a result almost confessed, in a Circu lar Letter from the Mioister of the Interior to Chambers of Commerce, accompanying this ext vagant measure, and which endeavours to reconal the people of France to the privations which it MT induce. The 4th Article of the Decree itself adini its severity. It states, that this measure is resorted to in retaliation of the barbarous by4em adopted England, and that it shall cease as boon as Eng; returns to the principles of the law of nation...— Some persons think that they see in this declarati , a regret at hari.% adoi.ted this system, and v. position to abandon it.
