7th Sept. That which I wrote to you
the same day, answered the first of the
questions you put to me. I will add
to what I had the honor.to write to
you, that the decree of the 23d of
March, 1810, which ordered reprisals
in consequence of the act of Congress
of the Ist of March, 1809, was re
pealed as soon as we were informed of
the repeal of the act of non-intercourse
passed against France.
On your 2d question,! hasten to inform
you that American vessels, loaded with
merchandize, the growth of the Amer
ican Provinces, will be received with
out difficulty in the ports of France,
provided they have not suffered the
flag to lose its national character, by
submitting to the Acts of the British
Council. —They may in like manner
depart from the ports of France.
The Emperor has given licenses to
American vessels. It is the only flag
which has obtained them. —In this his
Majesty has intended to give a proof
of the respect he loves to shew to the
Americans. If he is somewhat dissat
isfied (peu satisfait*) that they have
not as yet been able to succeed in caus
ing their flag to be respected, at least,
he sees with pleasure, that they are far
from acknowledging the tyrannical
principles of English legislation.
The American vessels which may be
loaded on account of Frenchmen or on
account of Americans, will be admitted
into the ports of France.
As to the merchandize confiscated,
it having been confiscated as a measure
of reprisal, the Principles of Repri
sal must be the Law in that affair.
I have the honor to renew to you,
Sir, the assurance of my high consider
ation.
His Royal Highness, the Crown
Prince [Bernadotte] landed here this
afternoon under a salute from all the
batteries. He embarked at Wiburg,
in Holstein, and passed the Cattagat to

merchantmen, and IO sail of English
armed vessels. From Zealand he cross

THE KING'S HEALTH.
oct. 30—31. We arc concerned to
inform the public, that his Majesty is
ill of a febrile complaint, at Windsor,
occasioned by a severe cold and the
anxiety and distress experienced by
him on account of the dying situation
of his daughter Amelia.
To prevent the many false reports
which arc constantly circulated on oc
casions of so much interest to the realm,
the King's physicians are ordered to
publish daily bulletins of his health.

The Emperor of Austria has con
cluded a convention with the Emperor
Napoleon, by which our Emperor en
gages to furnish 80,000 men for the
service of France. Count Metternich
who has negotiated it is expected here
to-morrow. The Emperor Napoleon
has presented the Count a service of
plate of the value of 300,000 francs.
They write from St, Petersburg, that
Gen. Kaminsky has received orders to
open a new negotiation of peace with
Turkey, and not to insist on the ces
sion of Moldavia and Wallachia. If
this be true a great change must have
taken place in the cabinet of Alexan
der. The letters add that many of the
corps on the march for Turkey have
been ordered to proceed to the Polish
frontier. The Warsaw accounts say,
that Count Suwarrow, (son of the vet
eran of that name) has proceeded to
the frontier of Gallicia.

" somewhat dissatisfied," whereas the

sure you make a fair statement, when
you say that " the voice of the repub.

speaks aloud —JOHN LANGDON

ERNQR?"!!!! Now we have it from
credible authority that the most re.
spectable of your party are violently
opposed to Mr. Langdon as governor
for the ensuing year, and the reason is
obvious ; for, although they might re.
spect an old horse for past services, yet
when he is no longer capable of them,
they, in compassion, would turn him
out to graze, and permit him to die in
peace. Indeed, Mr. Hill, we pity you
sadly that you cannot find a man who
has brains enough to be a head to

divjsion had returned untouched, and
even after having obtained someadvan

in his gasconading orders] but by a
fatality which in great enterprises of
ten depends on the smallest details,
thirteen of the transport ships, after
having landed the troops which they
had on board, profitted by the darkness
of the night to regain the coast of Ca
labria,so that a part of the troops which
they had transported to Sicily, having
no longer means of re-embarcation,
were necessarily left there, and in the
affair of next day fell into the hands
of the enemy, after a most vigorous de
fence, which left them not a single cart
ridge remaining."
