gentlemen, who arrived, a few days since
at Dartmouth, from Paris, with despatches,
to Mr. P. Their tale is gloomy. They
know nothing of the release of an» American
property, and say, that Gen. Armstrong had
no hopes of such an event, at least, for the
present. And, further, the only condition on
which the Decrees of Milan ahd Berlin
will be rescinded, is a coarpltfin^e, on the
part of Huglaud, with what the Duke of Ca~
dore says, in his letter to Gen. Armstrong,
is “ bien inlendu.” So that, notwithstading
the positive assertion that they are repealed,
and will cease to be in force after the 1st of
N ov. it is very doubtful whether they will I
be repealed at all.”
Sep. 12.—By a Dover letter received yes~
terdav, it appears that the flag of truce with
Mr. Powell, the American Secretary of Le
ga'ion. had returned, and that he had not
been permitted to land either at Calais or
Boulogne, but had been fitcd upon from the
batteries. We belteve that Morlaix is the
only port appointed for the reception of Car
tels, and this circumstance will fircbably ac«
count for the recefuion Mr. Bowell met with
mt (_'ii ta is and Boulogne.
The decree pn hibiting the entrance or de
partute of passengers from or into the ports
of France, was hardly made public, when
measures were taken to give it effect, A
circular letter was transmitted to all the
maritime prefects, enjoining them to cause
every vessel that arrived or sailed to bedil
igently searched, and if any persons should
be found on board, whose names were not
in the role d’equ page, to send them imme
diately to Paris, without reference to the
©. untry to which they might belong. It is
suggested, in a letter conveying this informa
tion, that this extraordinary vigilance is for
the purpose of preventing the transmission
of intelligence respecting an expedition
which has been secretly preparing for some
time in the ports trom Havre to the Texcl
A letter of the 2d states the following as
the substance of the decree of the 28th Au
gust.
“ That all French ships, furnished with
imperial licences, shall be prnhibi'ed to take
on board any passengers, either in going or
returning from the other aide under pain of
death of the captains, and confiscation of the
treBsel and her cargo.”
The subsequent copy of a disnatch from Col.
Don Maguclde Alvera to General O’Donnell,
will be read with particular satisfaction :
“ Ai.bes, July 24, 1810 “ Most Excellent

of armed peasants, 1 received inhumation that
the enemy was near Saiinana, collecting provi

ther «. xsmination this news was confirmed to me,
by persons employed to inquire, excepting, ih&t
the French 1 found did not exceed about 800

mounting to 650 infantry- and 150 cavalry, to

from the mountains, collected from the Guer

1000 men. The peasantry was ouly armed with
pikes and a few muskets, and our cavalry was
not well mounted.

In consequence of the terror inspired by this

we have no fear. A great deal of colonial

**Liverpool, Sept. 15,
" Our harvest, whose commencement
and progress has been attended with parti
colarly fine weather, is now neaily finished
in the principal corn counties, and the wheat
proves to lie greatly superior to what the
most sanguine expectation had, at one time,
anticipated. Although it is thinner upon
the ground in some districts than has occa
sionally been the case, yet this deficiency
will in a grent measure be compensated by
a proportionate increase of weight in the
grains, which arc not only large and well
fed, hut the quality also is considered to be
unusually fu.c. It may, asyct.be too ear
ly to form an Accurate or decided epimsft
upon the subject; but the impression ati
present, is certainly in favor of all descrip
tions of grainyielding a fair average produce.
We may also observe, that Potatoes are e
very where understood to be a very abun
dant crop. These circumstances, ns might
naturally be expected, have had the effect of
causing a gradual depression to our market,
and the sales of wheat at present arc almost
suspended ; the quotations may he about 14s
a 14s 9d. per 70 lbs. but it is difficult to v»v
what price could actually be obtained for a
cargo, if one should now arrive. 'wing to
the fine state of the weather, our mills have
seldom wind sufficient for grinding, from j
which circumstance Flour is scarce ; ami as
he demand is pretty steady, the prices have
declined in the same proportion with those
of wheat, as they may still be quoted at 60s
a 62s per bbl. but when our supplies be
came /note ahundun , a sensible depression
will undoubtedly ensue.
“ For some time past, the prices of To
bacco have not undergone any alteration of
consequence ; but the regular trade have of

raged by the low prices of both stemmed
