The brig Richmond, Captain Johnson, ar
rived at Boston on Tuesday last, in 41 days
from Bristol, (England.) By this arrival
the Editor of the Centinei received Lon
dpn paper* to the Sd of June, to whom w'e
are indebted for the following summary :

which occasioned bis immediate death.-
The papers are filled with particulars of
thia horrid transaction.

IMPORTANT ORDER.
Foreign QJlre, May 20, 1810.
Such a Mate of tbinga could scarcely
fail of producing immediate ColliaioiM but
of such a state uf things we see AgoOroa-
' f jT \
Whatever construction be nutit, Utiw<
new'Order affords serious matter for
flection an a link of the great chain of law
less dommatiua which Britain ejtlribits, a
disposition to extend over every lea.
AWimc/ Inteliigtncrv.
Some of the northern editor* appear jo
regard this Order a* authorising the cap
ture of American fishing vessels. We put
a different construction on it. However
great an outrage it might be on justice and
on Mutrai right* generally, it doe* not now
apply te the United States. ' British ves
sel* are now certainly admitted M freely to
trade" at the ports of the United State*.
On the occurrence of a/ certain event,
indeed, which there to but too little reusun
to expect, the Order would apply to the
United States, and may haye been pros
pectively issued with that view. On the
revocation by either belligerent cf it* De
cree* or Orders, the tow respecting com
mercial intercourse, passed at the late ses
sion of Congress, authorise* the President
three month* afterwards, by proclamation,
t 6 interdict commercial intercourse with
the nation which shall not have revoked its
anti-neutral Orders or Decrees. If then
Trance should revoke her Decree*, and
Grrst-Britain should refuse to follow her
example, we should be in a state of non-in
tercouise with her, and the Order fo Coun
cil would operate on the vessel* of the Uni
ted State*.
The northern papers bring no confirma
tion of the report under the Boston head in
our last, that an Order in Council had is
sued for blockading the ports of all natfon*
excluding the British flag from their wa
ters. The report agpear* to be premature,
and probably originated from the Order in
Council in this day’s paper for capturing
the fishing vessels of such nation* 'as ex
clude British vemels.
We extract from the National Intelli
gencer some remark* upon the late British
Order in Council relative to fishermen, in
order that they may be contrasted with the
mean and mfochievous misconstruction*
pet upon that Order by the French print*.
Napoleon's Aurora, a* we anticipated, to
in a violent rage at the cabinet paper for
not joining in the cry against a regulation
which has not the most distant reference
to u* or to any of our concerns, merely for
the purpose of withdrawing the publick at
tention from the Rambouillet Decree which
amount* to an actual declaration of war by
the august Emperour and King against the
United State*. U. S. Gat.
The MHaa and Berlin decree* were no
doubt intended by N’Apollyoh as plain Aznte
to the American administration of what
was to come. As he found these broad
hints either were not, or wou/d not be,
(aktD according to their true import and
meaning, (and there are none so blind as
those who will not see,) he thought proper
to inane his Rant Bullet Decree, which
possesses the double property ot forcing
people both to •«« and feel whether they
will or not. One wohld have supposed
that after this. General Armstrong and
the other American* in France would have
departed with all possible expedition; but
it seems we Yankees are a very obstinate
set of fellows, and although the Ram Bul
let decree made us both see and feel, yet it
had not the power to make us •• budge a
fug.” Accordingly N’Apollyon has found
it necessary to issue another decree which
we shall for the present call the Push
Bayonet decree until we know from whence
he has dated it, for the Imperial Savage
whirls his Louisa through the continent
with such velocity that he is hardly two
days together at any one place. This de
cree partaking io some measure the velo
city of N’Apollyon’seccentrick movements,
is made io the order of quick step, and the
Americans are literally

of the old Directors in the Glocester Bank
The situation of the Bank was well known

rector under the Dexter arrangement, and
advised the emission of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, when he was well con
vinced there was not a thousand dollars in
the vault of the Bank. The Bills were
spread all ovfer the New-England States,
and had a genera] circulation and credit,
from the well known responsibility of At.

which they must keep, as a memento of the
fraud of the Directors, and as an evidence
