The papers sent to Congress on the last
day of the session respecting our affairs
With Prance, and which we now publish,
wffi lead to deceptive conclusions, if dates
and tJrcumatohces be not carefully pre
toerved in the memory. The latest docu
ynent communicated is the Extract of a
letter from Mr. Armstrong to Mr. Pinkney,
of the 35th Janqary; but our advices from
Holland are down to the close of March,
more than two months later. The letter
of Champagny announcing the selsureof
American prejfcrty in retaliation for the
nan-intercourse law was published at Paris
eu the 22d February, and to probably dated
•bout that time. The conclusions we draw
•re, Ist, that the administration ate in
possession of much Ibter advices than they
K Eave yielded to the call of She ■base ; aad
Sd that oat affaire with France became
much worse than dmy were so the 35th
January. I
Still, however, we ate led to presume. I
abet the frequent reports, pdMMted in the 1
English Stod American papersef an ar
rengsUMNthefag on the Sqflfe between Mr.
Pinkney and the Brittah gerernusent, most
yefertothe subject of Armstrong’s letter.

municated to Congress at the opening of
the session, engaging to rwveke the Berlin

AMERICAN COMMRFCR. ‘
From variotaffMarters, the hostility of
Napoteoa to commerce, appears
decidedly to increase ; and the continental
system af exeluston, with regard.to British
and colonial prodace, was vigourously en
forced.
According to tetters froaa Paris, of the
17th, General Armstrong has demanded
bis pfesports, in coaseqaence of the Order
for the seharo and sale of American vea
•ria, oMeKorder 90s th te finhMed an
thcnt9tday.
dared for sate, all American vessels in its
ports, and directed the proceeds to be paid
into the Royal Treasury.
On turning to the Berlin decree we find
it substantially declares in the preamble,
among other extraordinary positions re
specting the law of nations, that publick
and not private property, can alone be the
subject of .capture, and that strong or for
tified places, and not unfortified pons, har
bours or the mouths of rivers, can be law
fully blockaded—and it provides that “ the
-present decree shall be considered as the
fundamental law of the empire, until Eng
land has acknowledged that the rights of
war are the same upon the tend as upon
the sea; that it cannot be extended to any
private property whatever, nor to persons
who are not military, and until the right
of blockade be restrained to fortified places,
actually invested by comment forces.”
This being the definition asserted by
Bonaparte, we have the key to what is
meant by England revoking her blockades
or of the United States resisting them, as
a condition of rescinding the Berlin decree.
The condition is precisely such as was se
lected for its impracticability and injustice ;
and as it never will or can be pqyformed,
the extraordinary measures of additional
rigour contemplated for excluding our trade
from the European continent, will be steadi
ly pursued. So little stress was laid upon
the probability of its being complied with,
that whilst British and French vessels
were visiting the ports of each other for
the purpose of exchanging the articles mu
tually wanted, American property Svas
sold and confiscated. Upon such wretched
expedients have our affhto* been conducted
that France agrees better with her mortal
enemy and yields her more commercial Ac
commodation than our raters, who have
for years been anticipating her wishes,
complying with her injustice and sneenmb'
ing to her threats, can obtain by all their
sacrifices.
. Regarding this as the true state of the
issue upon which the hopes of seeing the
British end French orders and decrees
withdrawn are founded, we have no hesita
tion in pronouncing them idle and fallacious.
1 he blockades of France declared by the
British before the date of the Berlin decree
aye all superseded by orders of a subse
quent date, and particularly by those of
April, 1809. The meaning therefore of the
French answer is, according to its obvious
import, that all blockades of France must
.be revoked as they existed before the Berlin
decree, and that nothing most be substi
tutedfor them ; in other words, that Great-
Britain must renounce the advantage her
uaval force gives her in blockading the
opposite coasts of her enemy, must permit
her to receive all sorts of naval supplies,
and suffer her cruisers to sally forth ad
HMtim. Mr. Pinkney would have too
much modesty and candour to ask for this,
because being without a shadow of reason
or right to support it, it would be an insult
ing request.
It Is not improbable, that the Marquis of
Wellesley may have issued a declaration
as desired by Mr. Pinkney, that none of
the blockades, legal or illegal, of a pre
existing date to the Berlin decree, are in
force, and the John Adams has crossed
the. Channel no doubt freighted with the
empty documents but we will answer for it
that such an unmeaning paper will be'treat
od with scorn by Bonaparte. Of what avail
will it be towards his purpose that those
blockadeshave been merged in the Orders
of Council of November, 1807, or that they
in their turn have given way to their suc
cessors of April, 1809. His meaning is to
make England consent to keep her fleet
employed, and to -e-open his ports without
being molested by British cruisers. He
who can bring his mind to think, that this
will happen shortly, Wil! foci the disappoint
ment of having entertained any expecta
tions from the fair famed negotiations of
Mr. Pinkney and the crossings and recroas
ings of the Channel by the John Adams.

A strong sensation has been excited here
by intelligence received at Hamburg, un
der Bate of the 3d instant, announcing the
mquestratton of all American property in
the ports of France, Holland, Spain hud
Naples. This information is contained in
a letter from the minister for foreign af

the Leiste dar Boirsen Halle.
' March 18.
We were informed on the 15th, < a cir
cumstance, which, if true, to very curious,
via. That Bonaparte has been sounding
the temper of the Swedish government, in
regard to the exclusion of Americans from
the ports of Sweden, convinced that so long
as they are admitted, his “ Continental
System” cannot be carried into effect—
Taken with his late measures towards
America, the thing is probable. That Na
poleon carries his hostility to colonial pro
duce into foil practice, will appear from
the following article:
The Emperour and King ha* ordered
the inepaXMM of the imperial in
future not to use any other sugar than that
of grapes. '
A treaty has been signed between King
Louis and the Emperour Napoleoo, by
which, with the exception of some una
voidable sacrifices, the existence of Hol
land is guaranteed.
A letter from Liverpool, dated March
34, says, •* It has been stated h some of
our newspapers patronised by government,
and asserted in a manner which seems to
obtain some credit, that the basis of a com
mercial arrangement has been concluded
with here.”
