Mr. EDI reties-As the interlocutory decree of . the Court of % ice A sin.iralty, in the cases of the Est..- trite, Ey. , :ewe, Zeleme, And lianfollen, will netewitrill aired all other neutral ships engaged in the same trade ; and. as it is a decree that may lead to a final decision of infinite importance, I hold it a duty I owe to my countrymen, to communicate it to you, under the expesfiation,• that you will give it pub licity. These several ships, hnd their respeitive cargoes, were charged, generally, in the Allegation of the King's property ; and various grounds were adopt ed, in support of the alley 'lion. Among the num ber, was a point of national law, which the coun sel for the 'captors thought fit to raise, upon very loose information, extracted from letters found on board the ships, in relation to a decree of the gov, la ment of France, which prohibits the importation of goods. the growth or produce of Great Britain, or her colonies It appeared, by a number of those letters, that certificates of origin (as ney were termed) had been carried to France 1w those several shim, for the pur pose of proving the grow4ll or manufacture of their ours' and cargoes. It apreared also,that unics those certificates had heen produced at Bordeaux, the vessels, and their chigoes would, in all probability, have been con demned by the French Government, under the de. eree before mentioned. And it further appeared, that the produc: of the French colonies, of which the outward cargoes chiefly consisted, 'vas txempted from duties, on the produttion of these cern& cares. Upon these farts, it was contended, on the part of the captors, that a trade carried Onto Fiance by neutrals, ender the decree in question, wars an unusual course of trade submitted to for the advan tage of the enemy—that the certificate of origin was obtained confcrmably to that decree, and favoured the views of the enemy, by rejeCting all goods of British growth or manufadure, mid by entitling tl e neutral to the same exemption or redueiion of duties that would be granted to a Frenchman —and that such commence was un-neutral, upon the general ground of avowed partiality to the known enemy of Litrat Britain. On the part of the claimants it was answered, by their Counsel, that the information respe&ing the decree, me well as of the certificates of nr ,b t and the duties in question, wa s extreme ly gar i and incorrect ; that eve's, taking the fags for grant ed, it did not appear that the course of trade was any other than mach as neutrals, by the law of ea tione-hed been entitled to for ages pest i that the French Government had an undoubted right to im pose any restriaiens whatever upon the imports into its own ports, and to admit neutrals to a participa tion of them upon such terms, as a regard for its own interest should diftate. That the decree, which Crated the certific.tte of origin, was of a recent date. so that it is yet im posaible to ascertain what the conduit of neutrals respelling it shall be ; but that if they should still continue to carry on their commerce with France, under the restlidiens imposed by that decree, they would have a complete right by the law, of nations, so to do, and would by no means be guilty of a partiality so grass, as to amount to a breach of neutrality : at all events, supposing the greatest mischief to result to the Bri t i s h Government by such commerce, it was a subjed for ministerial in terposition, but could not be a ground of legal ar gument, in a court of vice-admiralty. The Judge. strvertheless. appeared very much inclined to adopt, in his decree, the arguments of the King's Aftercare, and laid mach stress upon the course of trade being unusual, and of its having been resorted to by the enemy, in consequence Of their naval superiority. He admitted. that the cer tificate of origin would not, of itself, be sufficient cause of condemnation ; and that a decision of this reed had been given by their Courts, at the close of the last war. But he observed, that the decree iu question might impose certain restrietions and li mitations. which, if complied with, would create a branch of neutrality. That if neutron, who were favouring the coma wierce of France. were allowed the same privileges with Frenchmen, by an exemption from duties, or otherwise, he could not hut consider theta in the same light with the subjeas of France ; and, on that account, he was desirous of aacertaining. in what reaps& the course of trade now carried on with the French poets, in the mother country, differed from the former and customary line of commerce ? he. therefore, direfted further proof to be produced to the following points :--1 st. Of what country, or co lony, the outward cargoes were the growth. pro duce. or manufactare? 2d, Under what certificates were the same admitted to entry in the ports of France, and, whether subjeet to foreign or reduced duties ? 3d, What are the rrench laws on this sob. jolt, and what limitations are imposed on return ca rietters of correspondence, bills of lading. and invoi ces , which concern such shipment, c,r notarial copies of them, must he produced to the Court, ye. rifled by the attestation ,if the clerk, or other in different person ; this proof should he accompanied by the test affidavit (as it is called) of the party himself, swearing to his native character, and fully stating his right to the property claimed, and the tund by which he acquired shook( corchuie with the usual averment, that no enteny of Great Britain had any concern in the goods at the time t'.cy were shipped.and at the capture, and in ease .4 hang restore* the sole and eaclosive property .1 the claimant. LONDO, WEDNESDAY, JAPICAIY The following was the state of the Cape of G oo d Hope, in the latter er.d of May :—The number of regular troops amounted to about 1,400 men, and a small galliot was the only naval force at that settle ment. The Cape Town, and its depend' ncies, wero, and had long been, in the utmost distress, from n.nt of provision's of every kind. Bread and Hour were served out to the inhabitants, as well as the troops, only twice a week, and in very small p irtions; these privations had in acrd a spirit of mutiny and tevult amongst the troops, and much discontent and unavailing remonstr.tn;?, in every class of the inhabitants. We have received several sets of Nese-York Papers, but none of a later date than those previous. 17 in our pessessiun. We have made from them, ltowever, some ettrans. The public expetation continues to increase with the approach of the Funeral of the lamented Lord Viscount NILSON. The town his filled rapidly. within the last two days. with visitors from every part of the kingdom. The paviors and scavengers were, yesterday, busily employed, mending and cleansing the streets through which the Procession will pass. As we stated on Monday, it will Mite dime from the Admiralty to Charing-Cron, up the Strand and Fleet -street, to St. Paul's.— Potts have already been sunk at each side of the streets leading into Fleet-street and Luigate.hill, for the purpose of preventing carriages from breaking iato the line at Lord Ntl.Soll'S Funeral, awl Ma terials are provided for similar eredions at the open ing of the several streets into the Strand. Large heaps of gravel have been also accumulated, at convenient places, at the side of the sums, for the purpose of being spread over them, preparatory to the Procession. At twelve o'clock, this &gilt, the work of laying os the gravel will commence, easel. from that hour, no carriages or horsemen will be allowed to pass that way, until after the procession. The LOID MA volt will not allow scaffoldings to projea over the kag-ray, from the windows of the different houses in the city. Some that were trotted, have beeis.taken down. The shop windows, how ever, along the whole line, are filled up with tiers of seats for the accommodatiosi of spalators ; and whey the balconies of the windows in 'the upper stories admitted, thiy have been fitted ?up for the same purpose. Aittsuugh advantage is taken of every spot io the whole course the pro cession, that can by ingenuity he made to cola mead a view of it. let thousands will find 1 en possible to obtain sight of this most interesting spe&ecle. Nw eshilaition of the kind ever pro duced so great a sensation. The poliriesl situation of the country combines with its veneration for the Hero whom it has lest, and the glory of his achievements, to make !his solemniti• ai..ara in the history of England. but when the last sikel ha *ours are paid to the remains of our great and gallant Chief, another still in:re important wig remain for us to psefdrin-i-W. meat avenge his fall' Yesterday, being the last day assigned for the 'lndy of the lamented INctson to lie in star, at Greenwich, novritlistanding the badness of at weather, the crowd was a; great as on Sunsia The number of carriages, par ticelarly those bf 'or g • ing to gentlemen, was much greater,„ 'I be pressor was so violent, and the accidenfe in consequence to numerous, it was deemed advisable to send a trn.,,, of the First Dragoon Guards, from town, to a ,„, in preserving order.
