THE French Minister, Laforct, has trans- (

Empire, announcing his having received comty
munications from the Imperial Plenipotentiary,:,
and fob Delegate of Bohemia, calculated to re- [
move all difficulties on the fubjea of the In- ,

Yeßerday the civil and military authoritiesl
Were presented tothe FrR Confnl ; who receiv
ed them with great affability. To the speech
Os the Mayor, he replied :'
" I am Mattered with the testimonies of affec
tion which the inhabitants of Havre have given 1
me. Ihave deserved them by the interest I
take in the welfare of their city. Rouen and
Havre are the two firft cities I nave visited Since
the peace 1 confider Havre as the port of Pa
ris; for Paris, Rouen and Havre are but one
city, of which the Seine is the principal Greet."
" In some eonverfation afterwards, the First
Confnl said speaking of the port that he had
remarked that much remained yet to do ; but
he saw with pleasure that much had been done."
The First Consul set off this morning, with
ids retinue, for Fecamp and Dieppe

PARIS, NOV. 6.
The following political reflexions are from
the Journal Dafenfeurs de la Patria ;—
It is a truth, felt by all Europe, that all its
governments wish, and all their people require
peace. England has the firft and mod pressing
interest to maintain one that is solid and durable.
Ezercifing the greeted maritime power that
ever existed, arrived at the highest degree of co
lonial and commercial prof,erity,She cannot but
decline, and war mufl hasten the moment of her
decline. Why then do her journalists, in the
mid# of univcrfal peace, blinded by eld nation
al prejudices, become the apostles of war, the
hypocritical calumniators of the conciliatory pol
icy erercifed 5, the great powers, and the fanat
ical preachers of new hoftilitiesin Switzerland
and Germany ? Who,then, id Europe, but muff
feel indignant at certain parges in the English
journals, in the Sun, the Star, and the Murning-
PoR ? They all wear th* gloomy complexion of
civil difcurd and continual war. The, are all
marked with the fame tinge of political quarrel
and national hatred, which we hoped would
have beenextinguilhed by the benefits of a gen
eral peace. It is the envious. spirit ofathc ^ng
hfh nation, thit di&tes these incendiary para
graphs The Lbnden journdifll cannot be ij^
norant, that the general spirit of the people-is
for pence ; that it is the interefbof rthe British
crown, that itis the wife and moderate policy of
the prefect Mir>ifttr, and that the Continent, en
lightened towards its true interests, will not re
commence the calamities of tear foY the caprice
of, a few politicians, who, filled with hatred, are,
in their insular retreat, be„nd the reach of thofc
fifes, that have almoß consumed the Continent,
aadof thofc evils that hava diftuffed others.—
And what is the objeG of all thole provocations
to war? Is it the fafety of Great Britain menac
ed by hostile fleets ? Is the English honor com
promised by any great violation of treaty, or of
the rights of nations ? Is there any project on
foot for driving them out of the East Indies ?
Or of dividing her colonial power and commer
cial riches ? No ; it is for two or three Episco
pal secularizations; it is for some change of the
territorial limits of Electorates; it is, in short,
for an oppressive and venal ariftocraey, such as
that of Berne.

NEWYORK, DEC. IK
Letters from Europe announce, that Sweden,
in cenfequence of the good offices of Bonaparte,
First Consul of France has made peace with
Tripoli, and agreed to pay to that power 150,000
piaftres in specie, io fix months, and a yearlyl
tribute of 8000 piaftres. [X piafre is abut 80
cm!,.] This is confidcred as one more link in 1
that chain of French policy, which has for? its
objea the abridgement of the increasing power
Kd prosperity of the United States." While
e Swedish fleet a&ed in concert with ours, a
gainst the piratical powers of Barbary, use half
the naval force which will probably now be ne
cessary for the Union to equip, was considered
fufficient to protein our commerce in the Medi
terranean' This treaty will therefore produce
an additional load of expense te our government,
and perhaps render it necessary to enlarge our
navy. — But to what purpose can the surplus mo
ney in the Treasury be more advantageously
appropriated than io defending our commercial
rights, and Setting an example to Europe of a
noble resolution to resist the degrading cxa&ioos
of the pirates of Barbary ?

were io 1800 ; —and whether, after the arm,
had been disbanded, and the navy directed to be

augmented three tbavfand dollars per annum !
Query.—Has not the money, which arose
from the fates of the Ships belonging to the U.

the boasted amount in the Ticafury ? If so, why.,
