The A. of Congress of May last hall for its ob ject not merely the recognition of a speculative le gitimateptinciph,, but the enjoymy.tit of,a substantial benefit. The overture therein presented obviously entbraed . the idea of commocial advantage. It included the reasonahle belief, that an abrogation of the Berlin lobtt Milan decrees would leave the ports ,of Franca as free for the intioduetion 'of the produce of tile United States as they were previ ously to the promulgatinn of those decrees. • The restriittious of the Berlin and Mho decrees bad the etletc.l of restraining the American mer chtmts from sending their ves3els to France.

I pray yog to observe, that the last instructions I hare received from my Court, relative to the new directions the commerce OfFrance with the United States must billow, are of a very old date; the ofti- eial dispatches from ,which i have taken them are of h and 2iith of Aptil last. It is the mote probable that the regulations of my Government in re and to this commerce, have,undergone some nao dificotions, as the Consul Gent-Jai received by the MO/a, dispatches of the tuth of July, (2": el and 3wlfor August last, in Which it ia i sat 'that cottons may he iropth fed into ri'dnce in net can vesselA, and under certain regulations ; whereas, according to the' instru6tions xvhich %%ere addics,,td to tne on the t2th and•Qtith of April preeeding, cot : . ton and tobacco are specially prohibited.• • .1 will add to these data (ccs Donnesy, that accord ing to the orders transmitted to the Consuls of his Majesty, respecting certificates ot origin, and'under the data before cited (;lint of August last), they may drliver Orrin ; to all American maids destined for Fruice, observing that these certitictileti are not applicable but io`theproductv of the United States.— If these certificates u t origin citottot lie applied .but to the productions of the 14ited States, and cannot be given to any vessels but those destined for France, the mtroduttion of these .produdions is not then prolubi,td there. Yon will be pleased especially to observe, Sir, that the dispositions Which were annonneed'iO' me by the c4spatclws of clue 12th and 2tlth of Aprils tire of course anterior to the repeal of the deer . 4s of Berlin and Milan, and 'ate necessarily without an ohjed the moment the said decrees are no longer in force. Ido not know of tiny subsequent a6ts w hi c h modify this repeal ; for the instructions already cited, sent to the Consul-General the :,iuth of August last, relative to the tertificates of origin, are only, a-con. sequence of it, and formally exclude only colonial prodtt6tions. Furthermore, Sir, I haVe before tne the letters of the Duke of Cadore to Gene!al Armstrong, un der date of the :ith at August and 12th of Septem ber, of which copies have been sent to me by order of tny Court. These are the only documents lon which it , seems to ma reasonoble to fix the attention (i'arreter), and I see in them MOM ; which can 'cause it to be supposed that the French Govern ment may hate had an intention to modify or to 'restria the repeal Of the below cited decrees. ;461 contains no reseriu ; it does not exact any gua rantee.'' 'The declaration of the Duke of Cade is 'formal and it is the pioviions themselves of the Aft tof the ironottrable Co'n,, , tress of the Ist .of May last ; which have .dietitted to him the ton sequence.

But the principal object of the'para graph In the Chronicle' of this day is, — to censure Ministers for enforcing the Convention Act,, which it describes as one of the detestabre Acts, of Mr. PITT's Administration. Upon this subject we must beg leave to appeal trout the 411orning Chronicle to Lord GitENVILLE ; his Lordship was Secretary of State when this detestable Act passed in, Ireland, and of course approved of the measure; and if that mature was necessary in 1793, the Morning Chronicle' cannot, after the aceount which it has . given of the state of that part of the United King dom, deny that it is necessary now. The Chronicle however, objects to the enforcing of the Convention Act at present, because the Roman Catholic Com mittee is now sitting only for the purpose of " tran gild petitions to Pailitnnent for a' redress of griev antes." If' that were true, we belieVe the Con vention Act would not have been enfurced.
