RITRACT FROM TUE AMERICAN LETTER,. • vs You may be fully assured that a perfect onderstanding gbh/Isis between our Government and that of France, and that measures will be takeo accordingly ; indeed it has been roundly dated, that the project Inn long since received the sanctioo of both p::rties, and that our Government only waits intelligence from Lenin-, to take that stand which, I much fear, will end in the destruction of oar Federal Constitution. We have ouch foreign trade, but it is a losing cone en ; anti I ant grieved to add, that t:te War Part., is daily gaining new accessions of strengta. Your Orders in Conned, your inipres,n3ell, your Violating tae liberty of our waters, abuve all, your new syrteli of blockade, furbOde no good." The following is the paragraph alluded to s--e rROM THE NEW yon.w EVENING POST, AUG. 8. " FO•tElOm A vs. t tas,—Froin the lime accounts from Eu rope it a t . pears tact Hale is nu looter a hope that our affairs with foreign powers nut be settled by isegociation. We must now 6it down :and aCWoliti ledge Lai we mean to submit to every Indlgstity which can be wooed upon to, or we must gird on the . ord, and defeud nur3elyea.

And should &anther aet4i.in of Congress pass over in contriving tbueb and perfuriniag tiotito,;, the country wib be nearly tuilied. It will Ile al:2oa Wu late to think, of basin the nation." There is some di:tactics.: between the writer of the paragraph, and that of the letter : yet it is not Material, for they both plainly tend to show that the Americans du nut expect any accommodation with England. And, indeed, how can they ? NVltat cuuciliatory counsels have our Ministers adopted towards tite United States? What insult bare they their heed,, or their Lean, from sstferi.tg to America ?—l.upressing her emotion ; violating, and grossly, the liberty of the American Wateis ; insultitsg the American Flag; firing into American ships of war ; sending successive A mbassa dors with olive branches, which they meant to strip of all their verdure; sending Ambassadors to make apo logies which were andisgui , ed insults ; sending niesi Isithout sank, and without etharAtict, to be the messengers of their peevish Counsels —these have been part, and only part, of the wrongs and uuuds inflicted by our Alinisters on America ! And is this to be borne here? have we ;to Interest its it ? Ilave those who have to pay the taxes, and have no no interest in the conciliation or breacli with America ? flare those ho have to pay the poor rules, no share its the debate—whether labouring mechanics shall get their bread, and the bread of their wives and children, by industry, makiug ilium well. fed and honest, or shall eat their bread in the workhouge, with iutL.sess in their hands and vice in their hearts ?. Have those mechanics no interest its the settling of the question ? Ali G•al ! they not only feel they have, but they grin with rage when their pitting children, involuntarily and uneuusciotsly, put the • question to theta ! Yes, basest of Miiiisters, hear the truth, and be appalled ! The mechanic grins with Page at your conduct tokard America---exce;it when Ise consciously smiles with hopes of vengeance And what was, or is, the furtive of your policy. towards.' America ? What were Jos to get by it ? or what to lose lay conciliating her ? What to get, bat that sati,fying of mean and malignant passions, which gratification is the delight of little minds? 11 hat else could you get ? But that • Was enough fur you !

Come, and tell your ivijured Country fume, ina be honest, and the may forgive you ; put you right, and suffer you to remain where you are ! Why ! Be honest, and you may remain. Nobody loves those wits() want to succeed you in power. Nothing but hatred of you can make- any man wish to accept of them! If you will not conciliate America, for ith own proper object, be friends with her—to . win England! If you will eat do justice to Irish claims, because of their own proper merits, do so to gain England !—But if you will not do these things from some motive, then England must go to the Thro n e, to remove you, and that with a voice the Throne will nut reject if it could, and cannot if it were w Ming We arc assured, that when the French Officer from the shore visited the Flag of Truce, and learned that . Mr. POWELL ) the American Secretary of Legation, was on board, and was the bearer of dis patches from Mr. Pummel. to Gen. AitusTaomo, he o b served, that he had orders not to suffer any Flag of Truce to enter the port of Calais, unless she came with a Messenger or dispatches from his BRI TANNIC MAJESTY. May it not be conjectured, from this remark, that there was an expectation at Calais of a Flag of Truco from our Government,and that a most e respectful attention had been directed to b paid to the communication ? Our Readers will be shocked to find what the de. t.til of th. loss is, in the affair of the attack made by the Dreadnought's boats, the other day-1 Master's Mate, 2 Midshipmen, and 12 seamen and marines, killed : 2 Lieutenants, 2 Midshipmen, and 26 seamen and marines, wounded ! We shall never cease to reprobate such wanton waste of the blood of our brave seamen and marines I We have seen another letter from an 'Officer who was in Gen. CnAuvutto's action, which states— that the affair was truly disastrous; and that the division was near being wholly lost. Gen. CRAU FULtDs Or my Lord WELLINGTON, should answer for this The following private letter from Portugal, of a later date, by fire days, than the advice. by' the I,ishon Mail, is in town. It is of considerable im portance, as indicating a state of affairs at the mouth of the Douro, very different from what has been represented :-.- " OPOItTO, SEPT. I. " I am sorry to say, that there have hem) some. disturtauices in this City, in consequence of the posting of several lihelt wino persons in various depart inents of the State, W Bich has occasioned the arrest of same individuals, wan are said . to have o.rretanottenee with the french. In abort, I am afraid that all our endeavours, jointly is ith uur allies, it ill not prevent the enemy from invading us. " A Spanish Captain has just made his appearance in oar town. Ile sass he comes to join tlie.deserters, who are en listing, themselves to serve In the Spanish army ; but from all appearances, and judging by the company he frequents, we have ai doubt tkat lie is a partizan of the !reach, aid . there ire at titis moment among us a great number of traiton.• " Ilte Count de BA FiLitiq AON is MUIV at Lisbon, and it is reported that be is about to embark fur the Brazils. This. Nobleman was formerly known to be an i.:titnate friend of Mars:ial hottur ; and it is imagined that the rumour of his go ing to the Brazils is merely a cloak In cover his future opera tions, us he has not told any part of his estates or property in . , this town. " Tne French are in great force in the environs, of Ciudad Rodrigo, and we are much afraid that they It ill soon pay us . n visit. We are in utter ignorance of the operations of Juaois tinny, whith has entered Tra Los Atones." We have undoubted authority to state, that if a, person sends a thousand guineas to llamburgh, he buys with it a Bill of Exchange upon England for 12001. That constitutes the' profit of export, thpngh gold is the same priee at ll►mburgh as at London. Why is this sn > Because the person buying this Bill can get nothing fur it here but Bank-notes, which 11001. of notes he must give if he wants to get his 1000 guineas back again. And what do.•s this s!cew but a depreciation of BANK. NOTES ? it is true, indeed, the buyer of the Bit of Exchange upon England, may pnrchase English goods with it, but thus he can carry them to no profitable may kat on earth. • In astibsegnent column will be Panful two impor. tint Documents. The one is a Proclamation of MarOtal Soucy, ordering, among other things, all Spaniards, taken in arms against the French, to be shot, and thcir bodies exposed on the highway : the o her, a Counter-Proclamation of the Regency at Cadiz, threatening to put to death three French prisoners for every Spaniard so treated; and de, daring that •SeU LT himself shall ~be treatiul as IC robber. So II LT'S Proclamation is sallufatious•pok.' ditetion. No person's vein but must stoat at Vie reading of it. We have copied CORBETT'S Third Letter en Paper Money, which appeared in his Register of Wednesday. Like the former, we recommend every line of it to our Readers. He has swewo, how Taus ;aromas the PEOPLE—hov they do PREY upon the POLITICAL, SVSTEK. Ile 4(iS 'hewn, that TAX'S take from those who produce all, and give to those who produce nothing ! He has shown this, and has appalled the Texcs•raisers by it! Their *ride is encian. - . geretl 'by it, and like the eiercenacy ..eoppersmitit of old, they will cry out, anal cause their hirelings to cry out—Great is Diana of Ephesus! But it will not do ! Neither Mioisters nor ;their hirelings, not less to be dreaded than the gates of hull , shall prevail apinst this Tauty...that"raxes do produce stone other effect, than taking money out of one of your pockets, and putting it into the other. Why, if my R ockets could eat and fe4 ) the pocket emptied would famish and die ! We have said that the contraction of paper is already beginning to be felt—for we observe that it brings the guineas back into circuldtion. A Coun try Banker requested a friend of ours to take charge of a box of guineas from his shorn) Sussex, to his Banker's in town, because he had received of late double the quantity that he wanted, and that he usually kept. Several of the Officers who were badly wounded in the action of the 24th of July, on the frontiers of Portugal, arc, it is said, to come to England, and officers to go out from their second battalion., to supply their places until they are fit for duty again.

The Masters of the American vessels at Christian. sand, in Norway, have published the following an. serer to the reasons given by the Danish Prize Court for condemning the llannah ) of Boston ) as we stated in a former Paper:— • " We, the undersigned Mastersof American ve:sels, now in the part of Christiathand, having heard with astonishment that some of tile principal charges brought against the American brig Minnab, from Roston direct. hound to Riga, and a mar ket, and condemned at the Prize Court, at this place, are a: follow Ist. That the said Court have pronounced it ah.olutely im possible to cross the Atlantic (Mean without a chart of the same. ' " 2d. That it equally impossible to cross the Atlantic with out the aid of a se %taut. " We therefore feel fully authorised to assert, that we have frequently made vottges from America to Europe without ei. trier the above chart or sextant, and are fully persuaded that every seaman, with UOllllllOll nautical talents or skill, and who hos ever crossed the Atlantic, cannot boitate to subscribe to the me." _ _ •" Ciaristiansan:l, Aug. 10, 1810." - • Some letters from Paris mention a Report that the Archduke CHARLES was scion to be elected King of the Romans. • A severe.shock of an earthquake was experienced at Manilla, on the eight of the 151 h of S.:pt. last.

MAIRSUAL BEItEiSFORD.—Nut a few have, na turally, been the enquiries respecting• the family and connections of this. very gallant and clistiii guished Otileer. We► can inform our Readers, that his Excellency, the Eusritunian Commander in Chief, is kW-brother of the Marquis of WATER. Toni). We understand from a Correspondent, that in consequence of the suspension of Governbr Ants, a loyal Middlesex Magistrate has been compelled to have his carriage painted without heraldick ho.
