Sir,
In conformity to my late letter upon
the fubjed of James Thompson Callen
der, I endeavoured on Monday and
Tuefday lad, to procure an interview
for the purpose of returning him the
money, but have not been able to fee
him ; neither has he called at my office
as was requested. This negled on his
part affords me an opportunity of res
toring to the proper authority to decide
the questionable point, whether, as the
fine had been paid previous to the date
of the pardon, a return of the money
was intended ?—'With due refpe& and
consideration, I,am, Sir, your most o
bedient servant.

SIR. Richmond, Q%d May, lßoi#
Influenced by a due refpeft for the
conftftuted authorities of the United
States, I embraced the firft opportunity,
in compliance with your inftrudion, to
find out the residence of James Thomp
son Callender, for the purpose of return
ing him his money.
Having occasion to visit Peterfburgh
shortly after the receipt of your letter,
I thought that the lapse of a few days
would produce no inconvenience to him
whilst it would better enable me to pro
cure the proper vouchers from a per
sonal interview. I therefore take the
liberty of submitting to your conside
ration the inclofed documents, in order
that your mind may be prepared to
meet any unfair or perverted represen
tation of the affair which the unweary
tongue of slander may repeat or of
which his vindictive spirit is capable ;
assuring you, that however deaf I shall
remain to his applications in future,
yet that I shall hold myfelf ready to
obey such further direction as you shall
be pleased to give. I shall be pardon
ed for calling your attention to my ac
compt current with the United States,
as transmitted by the last mail, wherein
the fine in question has been exhibited.

A letter from Wafhington,refpeaing

printed. The writer, after mentioning
that one cause of the expelled rupture
was the refufal to fuffer two Moorilh
Ihips to proceed to Tripoli with wheat,
adds, that about the fame time the Em
peror of Morocco complained that the
American Government had negleded
to supply him with too gun-carriages,
which they had promised. It is ex
peded when he receives these gun-car
riages, he will be more peaceably dif
pbfed. Commodore Morris meant to
order the frigate Boston, and schooner
Enterprize, to come down the Mediter
ranean and join him, and leave the
blockade of Tripoli to the Constellation
and four Swedifli frigates,which it was
expected would soon compel the regen
cy to make peace. The New-York will
proceed immediately to join the Com

Late fam EUROPE.
Thro' the p®litenefs of capt. Wood,
arrived here on Saturday l a st, from
Liverpool, we have been favoured with
London papers to the 17th July, which,
tho many days later than prcvicufly
received from that quarter, furnish
nothing of a very interesting nature.
A few extracts are however made from
them :
The negociation reipeding the corn
mercial regulations between France
and Great Britain, are proceeding with
activity ; altho' it is scarcely to be ex
pected to produce a commercial treaty
in the true and liberal sense of the
words, as the French are very jealous
es the trade and manufadures of En
gland.
Ihe manufactures of Great Britain
appear to have gained new a&ivit,
since the peace. In a letter which ap
pears in one of the British papers, it is
observed, "that our ordersflow in from
every quarter of Europe, particularly
Spain, Italy, &c. In the muffin line,
there is a greater demand for goods
than can be supplied. The American
trade, however, no person chufes to
touch now; having scarce any other
market left before the peace, it has been
quite overlooked; above three millions
worth of English goods, were in the
city of Newyork alone, when the peace
took place, and they have been felling
at 50 per cent loss."
