It seems this decision was given on anew giound, vie. that Americans have nit a right to ek r'ror articles, whi:h they imisort from the British East Indies. The 13th article of the British treaty was referred to ; but that article, we believe, has ex pired, unless the Judge chooses to consider it as vir tually existing, because the British have not excluded us from trading to their East India colonies. The Judge gave his decision with diffidence, and hoped an appeal would be made. The Or egt was after wards allowed to proceed on her original voyage, Riving bonds to the amount of the East India goods. W. subjoin an extra horn an article of the treaty.

We have spared so trouble this morning to ac vire a corral knewled3e of the hafts c ,t 1 teaed with the eillainoos seizure of a valuable ship cwith'n our own 11 or a' Cis. The case of the 014.11 a, as fa. as we are permitted to state at present, is this : —The Othell. was an American ship, commanded by Capt . Glover, bound from Livapool for Baltimore, anti came to anchor lar Sunday morning in the Pala:sad, being a more agreeable harbour with a head wind than the open bay. Some time after, the Captain of the French frigate Patriot came on board the Othdio, where he continued two hours. The heha viour of the French Captain was gentlemanly, and he obtained from Capt. Glover some English News papers. Soon after the French Commander had returned to his ship, Captain Glover discovered a schooner alongside the Patriot, which proved to be a Fiends privateer. Shortly after, she came up, and commenced firing on the Othello. The privateer had discharged several vollies of musketry, a ball from one of which passed through the hat of Captain Glover's Mate, when Captain Glover sent off a boat to inquire into the cause of the assault. The Captain of the privateer commanded Capt. Glover and his dficets to repair with his papers on board his vessel. The Commander of the privateer soil he wc,el.l make a prier of the Othello, as coming from an English port,and of the cargo, being British manu faCture. He acknowledged his iotercnurse with the French frigate, by stating, that he lad read the Paper: which had been received by her Commandcr from Captain G. after which, being a , ked what has! been his business alongside the P , ;:. -at, 1 e an swered, that he had an iron made for hi; ruder by her blacksmith. 'Fite Commander or the privateer, it appears, had offered a pilot-boat 100 dollars to take him with the Otbetfo,out of the Capes, clear of the Bri tish squadron. The pilot refused ; but we are not informed whether from this circumstance it was the Othello was liberated. A full statement is preparing for the public, of this outrage. From the relation of a respeetable Gentlemen, well acquainted with the faits above stated, we are inclined to believe that the privateer was countenanced by the Captain of the French frigate Patriot. This impression, we acknowledge, is produced by the assertion of the privateer's Captain, that the Captain of the Patriot supplied him with 14 men, and offered him 100 --(BultillSOPC Federal Moselle.) We are informed that General Turreau, the French Minister to the United States, who is now in this city, on heating the report that the pirate that seized on the Othello had been eountenanced and as sisted by the Commander of the Patriot, immediately seat down a commission to inquire into the business, with the express declaration, that if they had in any way connived at, or aided in the attack on the Othello, the guilty should be delivered up to the Government of the United States, to be proceeded against agreeably to the laws of this country. Capt. Comegys, we understand, has gone down with these instruaions. Two or three more detachments of volunteers sailed, last night, on board an armed schooner, in pursuit of the buccaneers, who attempted to carry off the Othella.—(Fr.n* The American.) We are happy to learn (says a late Charleston Paper) that Capt. KALTISSIN, the Commanding Officer of Fort Johnson, has received advice that a large supply of cannon and military stores has been ordered on to this city for the defence of our harbour. Six cannon, IS and '25 pounders, with travelling carriages, and ten 14 pounders, are di rated by the SECRIT AR Y of WA R to be deposited in this city, under the chaise of the Oshcer corn mand.ng the Militia.

The accounts we have received, that XVIII. had loft Cariscruns, and returned to Mittau, are unfounded ; the truth is, he is still in Sweden, and etpeaed daily here.
