As to the Orders in Count:ll, it would seem that a repeal of them is made to depend, not only on further e% ideece than is yet afforded of any repeal uhateverof the Frey4ll decrees, brit on a repeal of their decrees iti a Jar greater extent than the United. States have' requirvd, or can require, as violatieg any, of their neutral rights. And an idea is held out of a retaliation on the Non-importation Aa, if continued in,force, without such repeal of the French Decrees as is contended for by Great Britain.

We mentioned ,orne time ago livrt he had given clire‘qions for. assembling consi derable bodies of troops in the vicinity of Boulogne and of Antwerp ; and, it is said, that be is now going to review them, and to tenew his threats of Invasion against this Couniry. It is probable, that BuoNAPARTe might thii)k that by assembling a con side, able force on the fippo4ite colst, he would frt. the Briti,ll Government from sending reinforce ments to the Peninsula; but we Are convinced that he haw nn serious intention : of attempting to invade this Country.

The pape,s from Gibraltar contain various ac-. counts of the unsnbdtted spirit of the Patriots of Ca talonia.
