. jtberal which the collectteofew
warunt, and which indeed scrips to imi
tate against the tetter of the law, has bee
jdopud for, the convenience of the. »et
chant •with respect, to debentures. The
, construction alluded to, is this: That the
right to the debenture commenced on thr
completion of the- entry for the exports
tion of the merchandise. But this con
straction did dot authorise the delivery of
the debenture until afyer the clearance and
departure of the vessel. To entitle the
exporter to the debenture, the law re
quires tha| the goods shall be exfiofted
within the twelve months after importation
B You will not therefoi«, in any case, deliver
the debenture until after clearance and
departure of the vessel; and departure
should be prompt and without delay. The
practice lately adopted by some merchants
of detaining their vessels iu harbour, and
in some instances, for a considerable time,
-after the expiration of the year within
which the exportation should be madp, is
not* warranted by law. * it affords an op
portunity to viable the law by yelanding
the goods and ‘disposing of them in the
country, which there is too much reason to
believe has,been dona .In many instances.—
These invasions and infractions of the law
have influenced this department to direct
a rigorous execution of ita provisions rela
tive to its exportations of merchandise un
der title of drawback. And I have to in
form you that it is the instruction of the
Secretary of the Treasury, that in all
Cases which shall hereafter occur, you are
not to deliver a debenture or debentures
until the vessel in which the merchandise
is about to be exported for benefit of draw -
back, shall have obtained a clearance and
departed from the port in twelve months
after the importation of the merchandise,
<o be computed from the date of the entry
of such merchandise.
I embrace this opportunity to inform you
that the Circuit Court uf the United States
for the district of Mary land, decided at a
session held in November last, that round
copper bolts or bars, are not subject to
•doty. ,ypu wifi, of course, cancel all bonds

Yesterday arrived brig Sally, Captain
Kenny, from Havana, who on the 20th ult.
talat.26, 20, fell in with the Lord Shef
field* Captain Ford, from Jamaica, out 17
days for Quebec ; the Captain of which in
formed Cqptaw Keflny that he had a few
days before been boarded by a French pri
vateer, but a large ship heaving io sight,
which the Frenchmen taking to be a fri
gate, they pushed off, having plundered
the brig of all h«r water, stores, small
vyope, flee. The Lord Sheffield being only
in ballast, they did not thiuk her worth
panning. The Captain of the Lord Shef
field said he should be obliged to put into
the first port he could make, to repair his
Jose. Captain Kenny supplied the brig
-with a cask of bread and two casks of wa
ter. ’ ' '
Yesterday arrived at this port, the ship
Ariadne, Captain Burrowes, from Cadiz,
from which place she sailed the 4th of
April.
Captain Burrowes informs, that a British
fleet, with 5000 troops, had arrived from
England, and ewere debarking the day he
tailed. 14 British ships of the line were in
; Cadis Bay. The Spanish and British ar
niva were deter nunqd jo hold Cadia. The
French army was the <>PP<»»te shore,
and engaged in erecting fortifications
Admifal Lord Collingwood, commander
of the British squadron in the Mediterra
nean, died off Toulon about the middle A
March, and his body was brought to Cadiz
in the Victory rf 74 guns; and afterwards

“The condemnations of those vessels,
whose agents had appealed from the first
decision, were equally unjust and un
warrantable in the high Courts of Copen
hagen and those of Norway. The judges
being in many cases subject to the bribery
of the captors, trifling pretences are ad
mitted as sufficient ground for condemna
tion.”
“ By accounts from Russia as late as the
middle of February, nothing of moment
had transpired In that empire. Its tran
quillity was said to be owing to the engage
meuts of Bonaparte in the celebration of
his nuptial contract; but notwithstanding
many rumours had been in circulation ‘.bat
the Emperours Alexander and Napoleon
had become disaffected with each, yet it
was .confidently stated that no war Was
likely to lake place immec/ately, for though
the nobles and people were much dissatis
fied with their servile alliance to France,
yet the finances of the country were so
much exhausted, the value of its coin so
depreciated and so little confidence placed
in the stability of the government, that ar
event of this kind was considered impossi
ble at present.
** By the interference of dur Minister at
St. Petersburg many vessels detected with
forged American papers, have been con

“ The bark Witham Gray, takes in

“ ThC ship Concordia, Captain Rindge,
which sailed from Gottenburg, on the 2d
of April, arrived at Portsmouth this morn
ing.
“ One of the passengeri reporta, that at
the time of his sailing the ports of Sweden
were open to the introduction of American
Commerce, but apprehensions were enter
tained that the French Minister, who had
arrived at Stockholm, would cause restric
tions to be imposed, to prevent a free trade
being long continued- By an order pub
lished soon after his arrival, all British vef
scls, produce and manufactures, except
the article of salt, were to be entirely ex
cluded after the 24th of April.
“ It was the general belief of the best in
formed persons in Gottenburg, that it was
Bonaparte's intention shortly to cause a
sequestration to be made of all American
vessels and property in the ports on the
coMHwat, where he had influence ; and
that he "was only waiting the arrival of a
number of vessels which were expected on
the opening of the Baltick, before carrying
his designs into execution.
“ The transportation of foreign produce

FRIDAY, MAY 18. 1810.
Captain Donnison, of the ship Isis, of
this port, in 58 days from Cadis, relates
that he was ly iqg in Cadis Bay during <he
continuance of the violent storm that raged
on the 7th of March last, • When he sailed
information had reached Cadis of twelve
American vessels driven on shore by the
violence of the gale. Captain Donnisow
did not see any of the people return from
the vessels that were wrecked. Admiral
Purvis rendered the Americans all the
assistance in his power—a boat with part
of the crew that went tb the assistance of
the Americans was lost, and the hands on
board Captain Donnibon lost
two anchors in the gale, and sent to the
American Consul to be supplied with an
other. The American Consul gave him
an order on Admiral Purvis. Admiral
Purvis desired the mate, who was the
. bearer of the message, to see if any anchor
on board of his sh ip would answer pur
pose, and was told they would not. Admi
ral Purvis then gave the mate an order
on Captain Cochrane, on board of whose
ship lie found an anchor to his liheing.—
Captain Cocxbane sent his own long
boat with the anchor and cable, and his
own crew bent the cable and carried it out.
The humanity of Admiral Purvis and his
generous treatment to odr suffering coun
trymen, were spoken of by them in terms
of warm admiration.
On Wednesday morning the body of a
man who had been found floating in the
river Trent, a small distance from this
town, was dragged to one of the publick
wharves, where an Inquest was held, and
the jury declared the death of the de
ceased to have been occasioned by “ mil
ful murder.’* The horrid appearance
which the b%!y exhibited was ample testi
mony of the correctness of the verdict.-4-A
rope was tied round the body, to which
another was attached, having two stones
(weighing about 60 lbs.) suspended there
to ; the feet were also bound by a rope,
and wounds ipuicted by buck shat were
found m the shoulders, neck, and head.—
Two men were immediately taken upon
suspicion, and on the following d*y several
witnesses were examined, whose testlupbiy
afforded strong proof against the accused,
and at an examination of one of the pri
soners, held at the gaol on Bsturdc* even
ing, the murder, together with theciycum-
• stances under which It had been perpe-
• tratetl, were tacitly arrowed! It appears
that the murder was committed on Sunday
night the Bth Inst.—that in order to pre
vent a discovery, the body was secured as
we have described, and-deposited hi the
channel of Trent river—that the motive
which led to the horrid deed was occasion
ed by the murderer’* fear of being detect
ed In a t«ccnt net of villainy of which the
deceased had been a spectator.
The deceased whs about 17 year* of age.
He came to this place some weeks ago
with Captain Edward Tinker, in a vessel
from Baltimore, at whose house bo-contiu
ued until the night of hi* murder.
The British Packet Princes Amelia,
Captain Moorson, arrived at New-York on
Tuesday last from Falmouth, which place
she left the 9ih of April, and brought Lon
don papers to the 6th. All that is Jute
resting by this arrival is detailed under our
foreign head. The John Adams frigate
sailed from England on the 26th of March
for France and America. The opinion in
England continued to be favourable to the
United States. Mr. Wallace, a passenger
in the Packet, is said to have despatches
for our government.

o’clock yesterday morning, off the north

du Cerf, and while she was in the act of
lying to, the Frenchman, ran under her
stern and poured a volley of musketry in
to her; while all the passengers
and crew of the Dolphin were upon deck,
and the vessels within half pistol shot of
each other. Fortunately only one shot took
'effect, which pierced and broke the arm ot

consisting of cambric!*, brhanniaa,
&c. tothearfioCnt of 8 or 10,000 dollars,
were seised by the custom-hodse officers
and lodged in the publick stores. They
were part of the plunder brought into this
port on board the schooner La Revanche
du Cerf, and were seized in consequence
of being illicitly conveyed on shore. The
publiqk know but half of the foul play of
this privateer. She came in here under
pretence of being in distress, and hqs
taken advantage of the friendly shelter
given her, to make sales of merchandise
to more than the ktnouut of 15,000 dollars
to discharge the bills of repairs, when every
one knows that less than that sum would
build her out and out, and equip her for
sea. She pretends* to have been blown off
the coast, while ill her men were on shore,
in a heavy gale of wind, which nobody
know* or ha* heard any thing about. And
