" Letters from France arrived yes
terday morning, by which it appears,
that Bonaparte has refused to grant
any more licences for the exportation
of grain ; but from what cause is not
distinctly explained.
"Dutch papers to the 10th, and
Paris papers to the 7th inst. reached
town yesterday, but their contents are
unimportant. The Turkish army is
said to be 450,000 strong, of which
number, after deducting garrisons,
about 180,000 can be brought into
the field.
“We have received Dutch papers
to the 11th inst. but their contents are
not interesting. The only article in
them that deserves to be mentioned, is
a commercial decree, issued by King
Louis, which, however, is not suffi
ciently important to render it neces
sary to insert the article in detail. Its
principal object is to alter the line in
demarcation, within which (with some
exceptions) all magazines, depots, or
warehouses of colonial productions,
or English manufactures, were by a
former decree prohibited, from 2000
rods to 5000 rods from the sea coast.
Paris, June 10.—Letters from Bay
onne, of the 3d inst. speak of the un
interrupted passage of troops through
that town for Spain. Among those
reinforcements are about,soo artillery
men, who were immediatly followed
by a number of caissons, &c. We dai
ly expect the arrival of 8000 fusileers
of the imperial guard, who are to pro
ceed to Burgos, where they are to re
g main till further orders. The sharp
shooters and chasseurs of the Imperial
guards begin to arrive here. They
have been reviewed, ^nd their fine mil
itary air and discipline excite the ad
miration of all who see them.
Letters were yesterday received from
Hollkel, dated the 16th inst. which
state that licences had been granted by
the Dutch government, for ships to
clear out for neutral ports, on giving
bonds to the amount of three times the
value of the vessel and cargo.
. There is a report that Swedish prop
erty has been sequestrated in France
and Holland, in consequence of French
consuls having been refused a residence
'in some of the ports of Sweden, and
facilities having been afforded for the
admission of English merchandize into
those ports.

arrived this morning to the 10th. They
are not important. We hear of much
activity in all the ports of which France
has possession.

the Lisbon mail, state, that Massena
on being sent for to forward the French
troops destined to act against Portugal,
was ordered to conquer that country,
which was in future to be his kingdom.
" PLYMOUTH, JUNE 15.—Despatch
es arrived on Wednesday from Lon

board a Cartel for Morlaix. They re
late to an exchange of Prisoners, and
probably contain a small answer of
Government. There is every reason
to believe that a Cartel will be imme

Capt. Ellis, arrived at N. York,
from Port-au-Prince, which he left Ist
July, informs, that a few days previ
ous to his sailing a severe battle was
fought between the forces of the rival
black chiefs, Christophe and Petion,
at the Mole. The forces of Petion
were commanded by Lemaine, who
permitted the forces of Christophe to
filter the town, when he attacked and
routed them completely; 1100 men
being cut to pieces, or driven into the
sea. He likewise states that the fleet
of Christophe had blockaded the har
bour which contained the fleet of Pe

Bonaparte and the Empress Louisa
have arrived at Paris.
From SICILY.
Accounts from Palermo to 9th June,
state, that the British would be in pos
session of Sicily by the 23d June;
that a British frigate had arrived
Palermo to convoy one of the Bour
bon family to Spain. The Duke of
Orleans who married the daughter of
the King of Sicily, has been mentioned
as the person going to Spain; and
whose presence, being one of the
Bourbon family, may have been re
quired by the Spanish Regency, with a
view to inspire the people with addi
tional confidence and enthusiasm. 1
Accounts from Lisbon, are to the
27th June. —A report is brought by
Capt. Adams, arrived Ifcre, that the
French Gen. Massena had 60,000 se
lect troops ! and the English a force of
19,000 under Gen. Beresford: That
Massena had declared himself King of
Portugal—[We before learnt that Na
poleon had promised Massena the Vicc
royship as a reward should he conquer
Portugal]-—and was determined to
cross and descend the Tagus ; and that
an engagement, probably decisive of
the fate of Portugal was expected.
The allied British and Portuguese
army, we trust, will not rashly risk a
general engagement; nor will they
avoid one on any thing like equal
terms. — Bost. Gm.
Providence, Aug. 3.—Capt. Rus
sel,)of the ship Mary-Ann, has arrived
from Cadiz, which he left the 24th of
June and informs that the garrison
were in high spirits, and entertained no
fear of the French being able to re
duce the place. The garris’on consisted
of 30,000 troops, 13,000 of which
were British. An almost constant
cannonade was kept up between the
French in fort Matagorda, and the
English and Spanish gun-boats, and
forts on the island of Leon. The
French were unable by their shot to in
jure the city. A few days before the
departure of the Mary-Ann, an expedi

sailed, cnppo3cd for Algeziras. Flour
was at 20 dollars, at which price sever

In order to prevent all smuggling
trade to be apprehended by the abuse
of the American flag, between the Isl
and of Heligoland, occupied by the
enemy and the neighbouring ports of
Tonningen and Husum, His Majesty
the King has been pleased to order :
That from the time the present
Royal Decree, shall be published and
made known at Tonningen and llu

bearing the American flag shall be per

lent at the outrages of Napoleon. If
they have the good bf the country at
heart, it is truly astonishing that they
will overlook the grossest violation of
our rights from any nation. It is the
duty of every American to watch and
protect the rights of the people and the
honor of the country. The conduct
of the democratic editors places it be
yond a doubt that they wish to draw
* Official accounts have been received
from France of One hundred' and thirty-six
American vessels and cargoes being seized,
confiscated, condemned and sold by order
of the French government, which has ap
peared in ail the federal papers : But the de
mocratic editors have endeavoured to con
:eal this attack on our commerce from the
public.,
the attack on this national vessel were
designed, it was a gross outrage. But
many circumstances are sufficient to in
duce one to believe that it arose from
a mistake. Capt. Trippe is known
and celebrated for his spirit and valor
arid if he had been attacked in the man
ner the democratic presses wish to make
the people believe, he would have
fought the British sloop to maintain,
his honor and the honor of the nation,
if he had perished in the attempt. —
Capt. Trippe was satisfied that it was
a mistake in the British officer, who
thought the Vixen was a French pri
vateer which he / had been waiting
for a long time, and considering the
apology perfectly satisfactory, pro
ceeded on his voyage. Yet the demo
cratic newspapers are filled with this
subject for the purpose of inflaming
the minds of the people against Great
Britain. For what purpose is this
done ? Have they complained of 'the
conduct of Napoleon in seizing all the
American vessels within his control :*
Have they raised the hue and cry a
gainst Bonaparte for taking a govern
ment ship of the United States, sent to
Holland to pay the public debt ? Have
they even informed the people of the
immense value of American property
thus seized by Napoleon, which has a
mounted to twelve on fifteen mil
lions of dollars ? Why are they si
lent when France commits the most
abominable outrages and at the same
time endeavour to excite the prejudices
of the people against Great Britain for
things of much less importance ?
It is a subject of great importance
to know why the democrats remain si-
For the CdNSTTTVTIO^AnST. °
The affair between the British sloop
'of war, the Moselle, and the U. States
vessel, the Vixen, mentioned in the last
number of the Constitutionalist, has be
come a great subject of electioneering
with the democrats. Any insult or
aggression on our rights by any nation
on earth would be reprobated and con
demned by me, and I trust no friend
to his country would wait patiently
and see the honor of the nation attack
ed or the rights of the people assailed.
Whether an insult or injury come
from Great Britain or France it de
serves the disapprobation and spirit
ed resentment of every American. In
'76 the federalists volunteered their
services to obtain their freedom and be
come free and independent of Britain,
and are now ready to oppose every un
just aggression ; and no part of the
community would be more eager and
resolute to defend their rights. In '9B
the federalists fitted out their little
navy,opposed the ravages of the French
with success an'd compelled that un
principled nation to submit to an hon
ourable adjustment of difficulties. In
1810 they are equally desirous to main
tain the honor and independence of the
nation, and notwithstanding the base
misrepresentations of the democrats
they would spend their lives and for
tunes in defence of their country. The
affair of the Vixen was an unfortunate
circumstance and to be regretted ; if
