Capt Snow from Cadiz, sailed on the

were confident ot their security An in_

A letter from Menrick O'Donnell, comman • I
der in chief of thearmv ofCatalnnia, dated
u i arragona, July 22, mentions, that the
French army of Arragon, of 12000 infantry
and 1000 cavalry, continued on the banks of
the fc/iro, near Tortosa ; that there were al
most daily combats, in which the Patriots
occasioned the invaders great losses ; that
in an affair of the 14.h of July, at Tibisa, the
snemy lost a cdtcnel, 17 other officers ard a
proportionate number of soldiers ; but the
French being reinforced, the Spaniards rtlitv.
-d the positions they occupied before the

jetween 10 or 12,000 French troops, under
Gen. Macdonald, and 9 or 10,000 Spaniards,
noluding armed peasantry. i.fear Grannllers ;
it lasted 6 hours, when the French entered
Barcelona. The enemy lost 700 men, and
carried a great number ot wounded into the j
city. On our oart we had from 120 to 140 ;
killed, and 400 wounded. After this battle
the patriot troops engaged in it retired to
Iranzo, on the Lobregat, to impede the ene
my. .should he march for this river or the po
sition of Montserrat ; and to keep open the
intercourse with Tarragona.”
“ It is probable that me movements of the
French General Sucliet, on Tortosa. [50

1 arragona] were with a dtsign to attract
our forces to that place, to leave Macdonald

There ;3 a strong reason to believe that
the arrangement for ihe exchange of prison
ers between this country and France, is fi
nally settled. The value of this ar.commo
dation on the part of our enemy, will be best
understood by those who have been the ob
jects of his unnecessary rigors; but whoe
ver observes the stratagems which areprac
ttsed, even by the French prisoners in this
country, in-order to effect their escape, will
not doubt of the inexpressible joy with which
the tidings of their liberation will be receive
fed„by British in France. Upon vrhat
point these concessions are meant bv our
enemy to hear, we are not prepared to sav ;
but, we trust, we shall not be induced by
them to relax, in tht slightest dpyee, our

letter to general Armstrong, on the subjer
ft die misumlerstanding between France &

'her of these to justify the cxui’atinn tha
was rai«cd by the news received two day

I i ue inter ro general Armstrong annrun-.
ces »he conditional revocation of the Berlin
znd Milan decrcvs. They are to cease to
be in force after the 1st day ol November*
upon either of these two conditions; that we
shall revoke our orders in council, and re
nounce the new principle* of hl.ckade; or,
that the U. S. shall cause their rights to he
respected bv ns. J he meaning of this is„
that we might ei* >er renounce the rule of
the war of 1756, and limit our rights of sei
zure and detention to vessels entering ports
under strict blockade; or that America is
to go to war with us. for the purpose of as
serting what, in the present maritime cod©
■if F< npce, is called the right of neutrals_
I-tierc is nothing new, therefore, in this of
fer of the French government. The same
proposal has been made more than once t©
the American Minister. France has re
pearedlv declared that she would revoke the
Berlin and Mil.in decrees, prtrvid«:<l we tes
cintled our orders in Council. The British go
verimunt mutatis mutandis, has mi.de the
same declaration
Now the only Question for conside -ation
is, does 'his prop * d of the French ministep
for foreign affair- am unt t.: tha kind of ab
solute renunciation hi • i sh ..1 i induce our
government to esc nd its nnle s in council?
VVe th nk no . But the mere rescinding of

in this countiv wouhl dare to acccep * ,
namaty. that of it non. eng those ptii.ci lea
o' blockade, to the vigorous assertion of
which we owe in a great degree, our mari
time ascendancy
Again, w are to observe that the Berlin
and Milan decrees aie not de facto c m~
slanter repealed No. that event is defer
t rfl to tlie 1st ot November, before which,
ti'ee Bonaparte no doubt expects tha> our:
rudets in council *ill have been rescinded
(.•ml to sparehirq rt»e humiliation of having
been the h st to give way) or that the Us
m consequence of this liberal ffev wilf
have decla ed war ,gainst this country.
