th| condition on which they were to
become subscribers, we tender our
vainest acknowledgments. Should
Atyatrons continue to increase in

CONSTITUTIONALIST.
ROME was not built in a day, says
an old adage. We rather suspect that,
in order to construct that famous city
of old, as well as every modern city,
edifice, or establishment of conse
quence and note, much labor was em
ployed, much money expended, and
great pains endured. As for the Con
stitutionalist, a publication of some
celebrity, we presume, for a country
town, we can feelingly and with truth
aver that it would not have been con
ducted to this day, under such happy
auspices, had money been denied the
paper-makers, hard labor been refus
ed by the compositors and pressmen,
and painful care and anxiety been
avoided by the Editor. Six MONTHS
have now transpired since the com
mencement of the paper, that, from
CT,o Our Patrons.^
worthy motives, we believe, assumed
the name of the Constitutionalist ;
during which time, we have been grati
fied with an increase of subscribers ;
but have been mortified, both for their
sakes and our own, that the favor of
FROM BAYONNE.
By the Spencer froro Bayonne, the
editors of the N. Y. Gazette learn,
from Mr. Jarvis, that Mr. Armstrong,
our minister at Paris, took his depar
ture from that place on the 12th of
September, and arrived at Bordeaux,
on the 25th of the same month, and
Mas to embark on board the ship Sally,
Capt. Scott, and sail for the United
States about the 10th October. At the
time of the General's leaving Paris,
every thing remained in an unsettled
and gloomy state; but Mr. Jarvis
says, that after the departure of Mr.
Armstrong, it was reported and gener
ally credited, that the Duke of Cadore
had writen him a letter, offering to
restore the American sequestered prop
erty, if the government of the United
States would give np the French prop
erty which had been seized under the
non-intercourse act! !—[We should
be gild to know what French proper,
ty was ever seized by our government.
The above report is worth but little.
The fact that Gen. Armstrong is com-,
' 4 " \
their names was not in every case ac
companied with the most strikingmarks
of approbation. We will not suffer
ourselves, for a moment to question
their liberality ; but we feel confident
that some of them must have mistaken
our case, which will soon be far from
being enviable, unless they agree to
to take it into due consideration. To

Such a majority as we believe has
never been known on any similar oc
casion, in this town.
Agreeably to notice, the inhabitants
of Boston, qualified to vote for a Mem

at 9 o'clock in the morning. The
prayer, introductory to the public du
ties of the day, was made by the Rev.
Mr. Emerson; when the citizens pro
ceeded to give in their votes; and at

the result was—

WHEREAS by the fourth section
of the Act of Congress, passed on the
first of May, 1810, entitled ''An Act
concerning the CommerciaFlntercou rse
between the United States and Great-
Britain and France and their depend
encies, and for other purposes," it is
provided " that in case either Great-
Britain or France shall, before the
third of March next, so revoke or
modify her edicts as that they shall cease
to violate the neutral commerce of the
United States, which fact the President
of the United States shall declare by
Proclamation, and if the other nation
shall not within three months there
after so revoke .or modify her edicts in
like manner, then the third, fourth,
fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth
and eighteenth Sections of the Act en
titled " An Act to interdict the com
mercial intercourse between the United
States and Great Britain and France
and their dependencies, and for other
purposes," shall, from and after the
" The Minister's letter of the sth
inst. to Gen. Armstrong, revoking the
Berlin and Milan decrees, had at first
blush a great effect ; but the summing
up with a " bien entendu," leaves the
whole depending on the English arid
American arrangements."
Extracts of sundry letters front
France.-
A new consul for Charleston has ar
rived from France, at New, York, and
undoubtedly has brought out numbers
of these licenses, the blanks of which
he is to fill. If this the case, we may
imagine the species of trade that is to
oxict- — ^_._:=#^_- — —
" In short, without reference to this
act, every commercial operation is
subject to so many changes, that cal
culation from day to day, is out of
question. Nothing has risen since the
new Tariff, and although it is true the
consumer must ultimately pay the du
ty; yet in this instance, the shipper of
produce must first be sacrificed."
" Wines and Brandies have risen to
10 per cent, and Silk Goods from 15
to 20 per cent ; —the latter is partly
owing to the almost entire destruction
of the silk crops by the great rains."
" My opinion is, that all who Ship
produce to the continent, on paying
the present enormous duties, must
calculate on loosing voyages."
" The duties are such, in my opin
ion, as to amount to a prohibition."
French Licenses. —An Imperial De
cree, for establishing a licensed Trade
between the ports of New York and
Charleston, and France, was signed on
the 11th of August, five days after the
letter to Gen. Armstrong announc
ing the revocation of the Berlin and
Milan Decrees. From this it would
appear, that the Americans are not to
enjoy an unembarrassed trade with
France, even if the Decrees are re
scinded; for under the licences no
vessel could return from America to
France till after the Ist of November.
The Duke of Cadore says, the ports
of France are open to the Americans.
Then these licences are absurd, un
less he considers the ports open merely
because of the arrivals allowed by
these licences !

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE
Restoration of Property in France.
A letter from Bayonne, dated Sept.
29, 1810, says :—" My friend at
Paris writes me," "I send you on some
copies of your case—the view which
I have taken on the subject, could be
employed by a French lawyer, and I
made use of a privilege which my sit
uation as agent for prize causes af
fords, to present the defence in my
own name, which is duly filed and
registered. It so just and unexcep
tionable that the Court will have no
motive to condemn this property, ex
cept that of its being American ; and
I hope a favourable change will soon
take place to prevent the employment
of this argument. At this time, it is
in vain to hope for a favourable deci
sion, and it is prudent not to press,
but to endeavour to protract the trial,"
Bonaparte will restore our proper
ly, seized io consequence of tfe Non
intercourse act, when we restore what
we have seized of French property,
for violating that act! ! Such non
sense never came from the Emperour
