[Rxttacti Item American rapers.] if! Tie Netrolk threats fig Polly Leger of thel4tit Jan. have been published five letters, i'which,' ° eays the &tient of The Pelde's fiesed, " more than any thing that has for a long time appeared, deserve the serious and most attentive consideration of that part of the American people, who yet remain firm to the independence of their country, and uzipoisoned by the agents of France. One of those is slireled to the Minister of Marine in France, one to Com. modore Barney in America, and three to General Turreau, the French Ambassador in the United States." 'flee first of these letters is from the French Ad miral Willaumez, dated 30th Sept. last, at the Ha* vannah.—ln this he relates his cruise, and says, , 4 Just at this time I heard that Admiral Sir John B. Warren had arrived in the West-Indies, and only eight days after my first sailing. I conjec tured that Admiral Warren would proceed to New foundland, where I meant to let him go quietly. July 28. at sun-set, we saw a largo ship to wind ward, and two brigs; I supposed, however, these might be Sir John, and made the signal to close the squadron and beep to windward, intending next day to engage this Admiral to advantage. A schooner, however, which belonged to these vessels to wi..d ward, and which I boarded at midniet, afterwar's informed me that it was a part of a convoy of Ame ricans, consisting of 9 sail, under the escort of two small frigates. bound to New-York, laden with cof fee, &c. Am by the revolted negroes of St. Do mingo. This news not being disclosed to me by the master of the schooner, till some days after the convoy had time to escape to the northward ; in dignant at the condud of the Americans, I imme diately put the master of the schooner in irons, and all his people, and made sail in search of said con voy, determined to hang at the yard-arm the cap tains and supercargoes, in the face of their country men, at New-York; but being nearly off Cape Hat teras, the weather changed, and the gathering storm left me no hope of arrival off New-York in time to intercept these pirates and on arriving off the Cape, a gale of wind obliged me to haul to wind ward, and wait till it was passed ; which, when it was over, enabled me to speak a vessel, by which I was informed that the said convoy had put into the Chesapeake and Delaware." After giving some birthed account of his pro ceedings, the storms he met with. and the damage done his ships, he says," The unprovided cornlitlbn of my ship, and particularly the wretched quality of my sails, determined me to hasten my return to France, and not wait till OFrolser ; but the numerous squadrons of the enemy, cruising in the Gulph, and before our principal ports, induced ate to con tinue out, during all the long days of summer. A ten months' cruise would have proved sufficient to ruin sails and rigging, had they been even new when I first sailed ; but I needed not this hard trial to convince me of the miserable equipment of the squadron I was to command ; for, scarcely had His Imperial Majesty's squadron put to sea, before they proved leaky and unfit for sea.—Most painful is it to me to represent to yon, at this late day, these miserable equipments (no doubt. very contrary to your intentions and the wish of His Imperial Ma jesty) bestowed upon my vessels, relative to which I should have made strong representations, could I have known it before my departure from France ; tart it was not permitted me to demand any thing ; neither to inquire into what was requisite for the second squadron, before the first, completely un armed, was ordered to sea ; nor was it till after sailing. I discovered the very bad condition of my ships. Notwithstanding which distressing circum stances, I reckoned upon returning fortunate to France, and of convincing you, my Lord, by the reports you would have received, on my arriving in port, of the lamentable state of my ships." The second letter is from the Rear• Admiral, ano. ther Willaumez, to General 'Furreau ; and this, it deeply imports the American people to attend to. It is as follows : To GENERAL TURREAti. French A inba,sailwr at Wa•hiligton, My Loa —You have learnt, by the arrival of some of my scattered ships in America, the ucfortunate event by which they were separated from me. [Here Admiral Willaumez gives the detail of the tempest in nearly the same words as in his letter to the Minister of Marine at Paris, to which he adds. that at this date the lout/roper was then nearly new masted, and proceeds to enforce to General Turreau, how necessary it was that the ships which had put into the American ports, by distress, should hasten to join him as the Havanna. where his squadron, if colleted. and united to the Spanish force, at that place, would, io effeEl, oppose a strong squadron, and double to that of iint English, who, at Jamaica, he states, have only two line of battle ships. Ad. miral Willaumes further says. that he purposed going to Vera Cruz, agreeable to the projet of the Government of the Spanish Colon,' of llatiattas, to Ming some millions of dollars, which he states to be the more gum, to the French Ergrertsr had a right to fhe payment of one rdill/of a dollars, of which the scarcity wee very great of fhb island of Cuba.) Aditiraltrillaumea then continues 8 4 4 I have just apprehended foui seamen, deserters from the Vo!serous frigate, whom I found on board an Ame rican brig. where they had been engaged at 17 dol lars per month. Now, Sir, if you can succeed in making the American Government pay down a compensation for this miscondua, in seducing thus our seamen, you will punish it by making it smart in that point in which it feels most, via. its avarice in money, and with so much the more justice, since those people (meaning the American merchants) have for three years past been continually injuring our marine I by seducing our best seamen from us. (Signed) 4, Le C. Ai. P. Wit.t.atemez." In the Id, which is from the Admiral to Turmu, and stated 25th Oa. is the following passage s -4, Apropos, our Bustersw is to receive one mil lion of dollars from His Catholic Majesty, on the score of an adjustment with the Spanish Govern ment, at the Isle of Cuba. The Spaniards are send ing a force to Vera Cruz, but that's of no conse quence. There is a secret expedition going some where front this island I this I have correa. I beg you, Sir, to be particular in your observations in the Cliesapeak, and other parts of the Continent of the Unitcd States. Let the Commanders of all Frepth ships, attached to yott, know these opera tions, and their readiness will be found necessary." The 4th Letter we give terbatin; ; To GEN. TURREAU. MY LORD, Havannah, Nov. 6. 1606. The Contre-Admiral, Winsome:, commanding here the ships belonging to His Imperial Majesty, has given orders to Monsieur Le Chaderaud, Lieu tenant of the ship, charged with these and other dispatches, to say, that he is astonished at the con. dud of the Commanders of ships, belonging to His Imperial Majesty, in else American ports. He is alarmed at the behaviour of the French Ambas sador, so fully instruded by His Majesty. He is determined, as General in Chief, to inform the French Government of the conclud of the United States ; but he trusts that the French ships are now supplied with all necessaries. (Signed) P. Wmaavarsa. Then follows one (the 5tE), to Commodore Ear ney ; hut it contains nothing extraordinary. THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 2. We have received some New York Papers. con taining estra4s from letters written by the French Admiral WlLLAtluss, who commanded the squa dron commonly called Jartous BOMAT•1111 of which two ships of the line and a frigate now re main blocked up io the Chesapeak. They are given in our preceding columns. His MAJISTY came to town yesterday, and gave the Royal Santlion to several new Ministerial Ap pointments, as will be seen in our Ccurt News.— Among these are the Duke of RucHMoau, to be Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; and Lord Et. mu, Lord Chancellor of England. Admiral GAY etta and Mr. ROBLIIT Waco, were appointed Lords r.f the Admiralty; but the appointment of Lord Mut.- ORA VI to the head of the Admiralty, has not yet received the Royal SanCtion. %Ve have repeatedly stated, that Viscount Mat.- vis La was the principal Manager in the late scenes at Burlington House, and that his Lordship would come forth in a prominent part, in 41 , :e season. Every necessary preparation was made for his being re-sworn a Member of the Privy Council, yesterday, at the Queen's House ; and it was not known to the contrary till a late hour on Tuesday night. when the Duke of PusTLaMo re ceived a communication, that his Lordship could not attend. This is the second time he was expeCt ed at Council. Indisposition is the alleged cause of his absence. His Lordship will certainly have a scat in the Cabinet. no Courier, a print avowedly devoted to the pre sent Ministers, lately undertook to answer for their conduEt. :s.To sponsors ever spoke more devoutly for an infant. With that imposing effrontery whic!r has uniformly distinguished its temper and its tone, it assured the public, that the new Ministers will pursue a liberal and enlightened policy, not un worthy of their predecessors in office. We hope and trust, that such will be their cows. ; and the best proof of their sincerity will be to mark with their contempt an article which appeared last night in the paper to which we ab i de. If the present Ministers really mean to adopt a system of cuncilia tion anJ kindness, they cannot pOrmr a writer in their ',trice to class the Cati etc. with the London brtispriclang Sclelett, ad t)ru met a l and e tdtadkaal language of Lands Cisatefisst, It, LAMP, and MMUS. ft the !Reuse of Lords, Ind Viscount Howlett, In the Hoses of Cormftemr, the mischievous' and dangerous herangile of reamers Bunt:ker. at the Crown and Anchor tern, in the year 1803.

The public will, no doubt, Item to ceristree menace rightly. The Parliament, then. it wino, •s not to be dissolved ; but the doors of Parke went are to be shut spinet the public, s.; the British Senate to be convened into a Tu.s. ish Divan. But, if the doors should be twat!, will this shocking slave posies that the speethes given in Parliament will not be published in the newspapers 3 Yes, the muse ingenuity which lewd its way to the Minutes of the Privy Councii, apd the snow fraud which gave a mutilated ex:;43 from them to the world, would misrepresent tie speeches of Lords Howacc,Gaatarnsce,and Mains. The voice of truth would be lost to the public, and the inferiority of the new Ministers would only hs seen in their minorities. The language of the Sena,: is likened to the laaguage of the Correspondirz Society; Lord GRENVILLE and Earl Melts a , : classed with Hosea Topes, and lismee, the shoe. maker ; such is the respell and decency which :it, hirelings of the new Mioistere are desired to yay tit their predecessors. The pufsfie were lately tincr• coed with a Dissolution of Parliament; and we are now threatened with having the doer of the Pitt. liament shut against the public. If this be the commencement of a system of lthetality, freedom. and conciliation, we should be glad to know h'w the most tyrannical bigot that ever disgraced i.e office of Minister, would begin to exercise ;,is functions Sir RICIII•Rri STRACHAIN sailed from Plyinret% on Sunday, in the Cesar. to take the command of the squadron off Rochfort.
