“ London, June 5.— The intelli
gence brought by the Gotten burg mail
has created an unusual sensation of al
arm among all commercial men. The
hope that ;nr James Saumarez had mis*
taken the tenor of his instruction, how
ever, in some degree allayed their fears.
J»t order to asceiuin this important j
point, a deputation of merchants w ere i
t‘us day to apply to the Hoard of Trade, j
1*1.id «>ur government intended that the !
owedish ports should he formally bloc- j
kaded, there L no doubt but the usual
* olirc of this intention would have been
riven to the ministers or Consuls of
foreign powers. Such a notice was
i»%.l>li‘>hed in ttte Gazette, when the
blockade of sever. ’, of the 1 each ports
ok place ; but lv\* not hitherto nude
j > appearance with respect to the Swe
dish harbours. So much alarm had
been excited at Gottenburg, by the
I . sure adopted bv Sir James Saumar
ez mat several respectable merchants
o. ;ue in the Packet for the purpose of j
obtaining a proper understanding on ,
that subject. To ?. qu<£,: • put to Sir [
James Ssumaivz by mb- A merican
Consul, *• whether Americans coming J
or going direct w ith their own produce* ’
.you d require licences V* he replied |
k* that he consider ‘(1 the regulations as 1
meaning to exclude all vessels indis- !
t nminately, unless they were provided j
with licences ’* We fear that should
Tir James have rightly interpreted his
jvstiu-lions, this measure will prove
..fresh source of contention with A
mcrica, at a time* when the most ami- j
canle settlement of differences was ex
pected to take place.

The expectation of many that this impor

great rapidity, was unreasonable in the ex-'
ireme. At lean it ought not to have been

had as-umed a g eater re if* ■risibility in relation j
to it, than the writer of these letters.

all doubt bis interest, and it would seem to j
b*? bis duty, to convince the Public Ij'al the 1
course he is pursuing results from no sinis

however, all have cupful rights, and it is no

obtained by an individual under circumstan
ces of a peculiar character. When the in

Cannot be made too clear and conclusive.

We give the 8th number of French
influence this day. Mr. Elliot is now
doing something to the put pose, and it
is high time he should. Not that we
blame him for proceeding with cau
tion ; hut because il he docs notexeit
himself he will be anticipated. Our
government will expose itself. Galla
tin hinted to Mr. Erskine long ago that
Jefferson was under lue^p-h influence ;
and he is now trying to prove that Mr.
Madison is treading in the steps of Jef
ferson. The Whig, Aurora, and oilier
democratic papers are bearing down
upon Gallatin. This is as it should be. (
Get them proceed. In this squabble it
is probable that many secret things
will come out—and that in less than
a year the public will have proofs e
nough of the exigence of French influ
ence, even if Mr. Elliot should not pro
duce them —A. Y. Herald. j
“The depredation which had been com
mitted on the commerce of the United
States during the preceding war, by per
son* unacr the authority of Spain, are suf
ficiently known to all. These made it a du
ty to require from that government indem
i nificalion for our injured citizens. A con
vention was accordingly entered imo be*
tween the minister of the U. States at Mad
rid, and the minister of that government for
foreign affairs, by which it was agreed that
1 spoliations committed by Spanish subjects,!
and carried into ports of Spain, shouid bo i
paid fur by that nation, and that those corn-1
muted by French subjects, and carried in- *
to Spanish ports, should remain for further
discussion. Before this convention was re.
turned to Spain with our ratification, the
transfer of Louisiana by France to the U.
States lout place mi event as unexpected as
disagreeable to Spain. From that moment
she seemed to change her conduct and dis
position towards us. It was first mamfe*.
ted hy her protest against the right of
France to alienate Louisiana to us, which,
however, was goon retracted and trie right
confirmed. Then high offence was niAii
ilested at trie act of congress establishing a
collection district on the M >bil!e, although
by an authentic declaration irnmc Naltdy
made, it was expressly confined to our ac
knowledged limit*; and she now refused
to ratify die convention signed by her own
minister, under the eye of ids sovereign un
less we would consent to alterations of its
terms, which would have affected our claims
against her, for spoliations by French sub
jects carried ml** Spanish ports.
“ To obtaiu justice, as well as to restore
friendship, I thought a special mission ad
visable, and accordingly anpointed Janie*
Monroe minister extraordinary and plenipo
tentiary, to re pair to Madrid, and, in con
junction with our minister resident there,
io endeavor to procure tlie ratification of the
former convention and to come to an under
standing with Spain, as to the boundaries of
Louisiana. It appeared at once that her
policy was to reserve herself for events, and
m the mean time to keep our differences in
an unde term in* d state. This will he evi
dent lrom the papers now communicated to
>ou. After lu-arl v five months of fruit less
endeavor to bring them to some definite aiul
satisfactory result, our minister ended the
conferences, without having been able to
obtain indemnity for spoliations of an? dt
senpti or any satisfaction as to the bounda
ries o. a, si ana, other than a declaration
that we tia j no rights eastward of the Iber
ville, and that our line to the west was otic,
which would have left us, but a string of,
land on tint bank of the river Mississippi.1
Our injured citizens were thus left wit! ut
any prospect of retribution from • w -
doer, and as to boundary, each party was to
take its own course. That which tt.ev have
chosen to pursue will appear from the doc
uments now communit y, p rv cutho ise

APPLNDIiC. No. 1.
On the 6th of December, 18U5, the fol
lowing confidential message was received
from the president:
| Our ministers had proposed to surren
der our claims to compensation for the
witholding of the right of deposit at N«w
Oi leans, and for spoliations, Spanish as well
as French, and to establish the Collorado
as the western boundary of Louisana. Al
though the Collorado is a vast distance to
the west of the existing limit between the
two nations, it was evident, from the face
of our despatches, that our ministers in ag
reeing to establish that river as the boun
dary, had been obliged to exceed the au
thority of their instructions; (the govern
ment of the United States claiming lo the
kio Bravo)—This proposition, (the ultima
tum on our part) was rejected at the court
of Madrid with disdain ; and thus enuwd the
negotiation. Yet Fiance, it seems, was
disposed t<^ a settlement on ** analogous j
terms although Mr. Talleyrand had, in
the most dictatorial style, declared that
our claims on Spain for French spoliations
carried into Spanish ports, “must be aLan
doned.”

was added that President Madison had
