“ The undersigned that
♦ France has every thing to gain by giving
the Americans a welcome reception in her
ports. She finds her advantage in her com
mercial relations with neutrals; she is, in
\ no respect, jealous of their prosperity.—
Great, powerful, opulent, she is satisfied
" • when by her own commerce, or that of
neutrals, her exportations may give the re
quisite drvelopeinent to her agriculture
and manufactures.
•• Scarcely thirty years have elapsed
since the States of America founded in the
. midst of the new world an independent
country, at the expense of the blood of so
many immortal men who fell in the field
l of battle, to shake off the leaden yoke of
the English Monarch. Those generous
men were far from imagining, when they
thus shed their blood tor the independence
of America, that within so short a perfr J
there should be an attempt made to im
pose upon them a still more oppressive
yoke than that they had shaken off, by sub
jecting their industry to the tarif of British
Legislation, and the Orders in Council of
1807. •
•’ If, therefore, the Minister of America
is prepared to engage, that the Ainericaii
vessels shall not submit io the English Or- *
decs in Council of November, 1807, nor to
any decree of blockade, unless theye be an
actual blockade, the undersigned is au
/ thorized to conclude any description of
convention tending to renew the treaty of
commerce with America, and compre
bending all the measures calculated to
consolidate the commerce and prosperity
of America. (Here is a repetition of the
ultimatum of the French government.—
• We must resist the British Orders in Coun -
jell, which were adopted as retaliating in a
limited decree, the Berlin decree of the
■ previous year ; and any decree of block
ade, [by the British,] unless there be an
( ACTUAL blockade, while the Berlin
decree declared the Island of Qreat-Bri
tain blockaded, when the E nperour could
not keep a single ship on the sea I! If we
’ will take this unjust, absurd, and we may
add, deftructive step, then the Emperour
b • will treat with us.
f Such is our prospect of an accommoda-
F . tion with France. Bonaparte is not mis
taken in the wishes qf our administration,
but he is most egregiously so, as to their
courage and intention. If every conceiva
ble insult a nation can offer, if Jackson’s
dismissinn without the shidow of a plausi
ble cause ; if commercial restrictions, which
x shew spite against Great-Britain, but can
’ not injure her, do not satisfy him, we are
confident our government, devoted as they
I ’ are to the despot's will, are too cowardly
and too weak in means to take any more
efficient step. Mr. Madison and his min
• ions can disgrace the nation, by abusive
language against England, and every de
monstration of hatred, that will not re
quire an appeal to the national Treasury,
I . but they will not go tn war; they dare
I not; they cannot, after having more than
emptied the Treasury ; and therefore WE
SHALL HAVE NO TREATY WITH
| | FRANCE.
' “ The undersigned has felt it his 4hity to
reply to the verbal overtures of the Min
ister of America, in a written note, that
• the President of the United States may be
better enabled to know the friendly inten
tions of with regard to the United
States, and her favourable disposition to
wards the American commerce.
(Signed) “ The Duke of CADORE.”
II April 16.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
The intelligence by the Juno, may be
\ considered highly interesting, as far as re-
lates to the future destiny of America, as
well as to that of the European world
Such change in affairs of the principal
• States in Europe have occurred, as entire
ly to alter the situation of the Globe.
i The union of the family qf the Bona
parte's with the House of Austria, is an
event of such primary importance, that it
cannot be paralleled ta the history of Eu
rope. By this event Napoleon cements
more strongly the bonds of cootfol, by
which-he has hitherto forced the Conti
nent to obey his mandates. The great
check to the consummation of his continen
tal power is thus rendered void ; and Rus
aia, pressed by Turkey on the one hand,
and Austria and France on the other, will
become comparatively unimportant in the
scale of nations. The project of univer
sal empire seems now to be more than a
Hream. France, Italy, Holland. Denmark,
Wweden, Norway, Spain, Poland, Germa
ny and Portugal, we fear, will all be in
volved in the vortex of one man’s power.—
America will then present three distinct
Empires, the Spanish, the Portuguese, and
the Anglo-American Empires. An inte
resting question forcibly p esents itself to
the consideration of every man. “ What
' is to resist the extension- of this gigaftick
power across the Atlantick ?” W c answer,
the English Navy ! It is from a con side r
, ationof sell-existence that we should de-
precate the downfall of England in her
present struggle. Destroy her navy, and
oar dispute* about the colonial trade, the
impressment yf teamen and the Chesapeake
attack, will probably subside; but what
will then become of our liberty, and our
riches, our spirit of enterprise, and enjoy
ment of peace ? The unhappy Princes of
Europe may now, with Coriolanus, turn
their hacks upon their territories, and ex
claim, “ there it a world eltewhere i" but
destroy that navy, and their safety is
idea/—their new world will be as rotten
and unsure under their feet as their Euro
pean territories had been.
The evident interest of the Commercial
countries will be to commence such a sys
tem of friendship towards each other, as
to present the most formidable obstacles to
the further aggrandizement of Napoleon,
and establish such a system of trade, as
may perpetuate those obstacles. It will at
once become evident to Alexander, that he
has been the dupe of Napoleon ; and his
passions, as well as the interests of his em
pire, will require him to cultivate a com
munity of interest with Great-Britain.—
All the Spaniards and Portuguese, who
cap escape to America, will form settle
ments in Brazil and Mexico, and probably
unite in the general system of commerce.
England, considering the great and in
creasing dangers which threaten to destroy
her commerce, will be forced, by her in
terest, to treat with the United States up
on a basis of mutual safety, and corfimer
cial prosperity.—By means like these, the
British navy can be maintained, and thus
•in impregnable barrier is opposed to the
gigantick hostility of Napoleon in America.
As to any future hopes of continental re
sistance, they must be founded upon vague
contingencies and remote probabilities :
Great-Britain, and the commercial pow
ers , must'depend upon their own exer
tions, for the maintenance of their pros
perity and happiness.

EUROPEAN SKETCHES.
There have been many arrivals from
Europe since our last, but none have
brought advices so late as those by the Juno
from England.
A great number of the details of the
progress of the F rench in the subjugation
of Spain, have reached us from various
sources. We have only room for a sketch.
The French main army, under King Jo
seph and Marsha) Victor, were in posses
sion of all Andalusia and Grenada, except
ing the peninsula on which stands Cadiz
and Gibraltar.—The former was closely
invested by experience science, courage
and numbers. How long it can resist this
combination it would be vanity to conjec
ture. While a cordon was extended from
the frontier of Murcia to the Medina Sido- •
nia, which cut off all supplies from Cadiz ;
two corps of the army, under Marshals
Mortier and Soult were advancing on
Portugal by the Gu:*eianat—And a third
corps was co-operating from Leon. Cadiz
Was well supplied ; and had rising 20,000
men for its defence ; which was receiving
'* spirited support from the combined naval
force in Cadiz waters. The defence by
land was directed by General Venegas and
hr Duke of Alberquerque ; by water, by
Admiral Purvis. The British army in
Portugal, were to the northward of Lisbon
in Beira, and apfieared to be making pre
parations to resist an expected attack from
the French. A Portuguese corps under
Marshal Beresford, (to whom the Marquis
Humana w is flying) was on the Tagus to
oppose the French from Andalusia. Some
reinforcements h id been recently received
by the English ; and a British frigate had
arrived in Lisbon with a million of dollars
to pay the armies. Hopes and' fears al
ternately prevailed tor the fate of Lisbon ;
and as a measure of precaution, the super
fluous heavy baggage, Btc. had been em-

barked in the Tagus. The accoupts from
Cadis and Lisbon are down to the latter
days of February; and contradict many
reports in circulatipn.
Report has been received; by a Marble
bead arrival from Corunna; of the re-en
trance of the French in Gijon, (Asturias)
and that the American property perfidi
ously seized at Bilboa, St. Sebastians, &c.
remained in sequestration ; but that the
American seamen who had been imprison
ed 20 days in violation of the L? ws of Na*
tions, had been liberated. We have seen
several letters from American Captains at
St. Sebastians, which all concur in stating
that no prospect appeared of the liberation
of American seized property. It. is men
tioned, that of this property, no less than
S 200,000 are owned in Marblehead.
