"On the evening of the 15th inst. government
received the glad tidings that the Americans had
taken peaceable possession of NewOileans and
with it of Louisiana.
DUTCH AGGRESSION.
While Capt Saunders (who has arrived at Sa

Bloys van 'Treflong, lenta party of men on
board his vessel who took from him one man and
two apprentices whom the commodore refufed
to restore ; giving no other Teafan for keeping
them, than that he wanted men. The conduft
of the commodore had rendered him universally
obnoxious. Os 117 men on board the frigate,

We copy the following from " The Amer-
Uktr^ °f " letter from Blaye, near Bcurdeaux,
Crated (12th Brumaire,,ar 12) Nov. 2 180,
66 It is not in my power to write you any thing
that is new ; But I can communicate to you
my own opinion, and that in a ipecies of creed.
In the firft place,
" I believe that the powers of Farofe, are in
secret league against FfaQce —1 even do not ex
cept her mod faithful al'y the kng of Spain.
"I believe the ci devant nobles, the Ancient
clergy, and those who were in office under the
ancient government, are in rhe mydery.
"I b here that England would hot nfk her polit
ical ex^ftence in contending alone in the lift, against
France, were flie in the hark refpeftmgthe prefect
machinations of the different cabinets.
"I believe that the gredrii enemies of Bonaparte
and 'he repose of France, are those who are io his
councils, th de who compole h^ Armies, those who
form the sparks of his felflove, who cberifb and
offer iiichnfe to his ambitious views, who straighten
and render eafyevery difficulty of the defeent on his
neighbors, by repeating that to him every thing is
pnffible, and even nature herblf must bead to his
cammend.
"I believe that the moment of this defeent, cf
feaed or even attempted, will be that of a general
signal for a most terrible and momentous Groke,one
t&t the secretly united powers await to declare o
penly tl.eir fentimenrs.
"These are the obj Asof rcy Erm belief."
The Vice President of the "United States is on h : s
return from Wafoington. It is said he will repair to Al
bany, whilst the Legislature is is session, to afeer'ain the
Strength and condition of his friends in N^w-Yoik. Those 1
friends mean to run him for Vice-President.
„ The Nrol'orL Evening Poll mentions as fie, that Gov

that it was expected, that it would speedily be attacked by
a British fguadron of fix fail of the line, on one fide ; and
by the herds of alined negroes which were advancing
