" An American vessel has arrived here

"The ship Harriot has just arrived from
Havre, which place she left ioth Nov. at
which time there was no information of ei

being taken ; and no appearance at that
timeof any danger of war against America ;
so that I hope all the vessels we dispatched
last for Europe will go fafe. The Harriot
had met with no priva eers. The Ameri
cans will have the greater part of the naviga

tional Convention have made a tarit of the
prices at which the articles , imported there
ffiould be paid ; which prices are too low,
and the affignats so much under par, that it
would be bad business to fend any cargoes
to France. Flour will maintain its price, as
there is a large quantity exported to France
by a fleet of about eighteen French vessels,
and about 10,000 barrels will, be exported
by American vessels to the Havanna."

" I continue to receive assurance from him

of this government jo to condua the measures they
think the'mftlves junified in pursuing towards the
neutral powers, as to render them as little detri

of feme irregularities committed by Britijh pri

where the evidence is clear, in order for criminal
prosecutions to be ivfituted against the offenders ;
in which, he promised the fulleft support of the
Law Office of the Crown •,and I am now en
deavouring to fix upon frong cases, where our
evidence may be Efficient to secure conviction,
l believe it to be the desire, both of the govern

good terms with us ; but the link of condua pursu

ceive any ftreng symptom of relaxation, cannot
but create diffatisfaaion. From the department
of state I generally obtain explicit anjwers onfuch

references are made thence to other departments,
which is very frequently the case, the delays are
great, ejpecially in the bufinejs with the Admiral

later than that brought in the Hazard, Capt.
Delano.—No important event has trans
pired in the conflicts of the nations, later
than the battles near the Sambre :—But
some intelligence of the fi:ft moment may
daily be expected, as the French armies have
been ordered hot to think of Winter Quar

appeared defirpus to try the event, in the
