not at war, from the ports of Prussian-front
Austria. He cannot keep in every jfart of
Europe a sufficient French foice to shut out
our naval force But he makes use of hu
influence or prepunch ranee over the Euro
pean powers to exclude us. We cannot have
before every port in Europe a sufficient na
val force to keep it in strict and *ctual block
ade, but we have the prepondet ance on ihe
ocean, and we adopt a system of reprisal &
retaliation founded <>t» the strictest justice.
Mad would w*- have been if we hnd suffer.,
ed France to enjoy all the advantages of
commerce through neutral trade, whilst we
were suffering every iujury that could re
sult from his decrees. But would .my man
have advised so absurd a policy ? Would a
ny man suffer his country to perish because
the measures necessary for its preservation
might press upon neutral commerce, which
Bonaparte had previously violated. There
is no contract without a reciprocal obligati
on, and if neutrals did not oblige the other
party to adhere to the law of nations, they
could not complain of us for not adhering to
it. Before the Berlin eh err e, Bonaparte had
adopted new and extraordinary means for
distressing our commerce : means which
bad produced the Order in Council of Mav,
1806. during the Ministry of Mr. Fox by
•which Order, the coast, from the river Elbe
to Brest, was declared in a state of
blockade. But neutrals were still permit
ted to approach the said coast, and enter
the said rivers, except >.he coast atul ports
from, Ostend to the Seine. —No sooner had
Bonaparte succeeded against Prussia, than
he took possession of.Hamburgh, confisca
ted all British property, and issued his Ber_
lin decree. All the measures we have a
dopted, have been the consequences ofmea
sures previously adopted by him.
*' If he revoke his decrees, our orders con
sequent upon those decrees will be revoked
also ; but if he suppose that we shall aban
don any part of the old maritime law,*he
will find himself completely mistaken.11 He
has said, that from and after the 1st No
vcuiuer, nis aecrees are revoked, and our
government, taking notice that the enemy
has announced his decrees to be no longer
in force from and after the 1st November,
may notify, that from the 1st November, our
Orders in Council, adopted iu consequence
of these decrees, will cease.
It seems extraordinary that any per
son should deny that Bonaparte has been
the first to condemn*his commercial rse
frictions, and to confess that they have
utterly failed in producing the effect he in
tended. On the one and the same day he
©pens his ports for the importation of those
commodities which he cannot procure but
from the power whose commerce he had
sworn to destroy, and with whom he had in.
terdicted every species of intercourse : and
he notifies to the American’ Minister, that
because America has repealed her non m
tet couse act, and opened her ports to French
commerce, his Beilin and Milan decrees
are revoked ; as if these decrees had been
the consequence of the offensive measures
adopted by America, which measures having
been withdrawn, the decrees are also with
drawn.
Some misapprehension seems to have ta
ken p'ace with respect 10 the decree allow
ing the importation of certain articles of co
lonial and East India produce It was sup.
posed that the second article of the decree,
ordering confiscation, if the declarations
concerning the species or qnali ies of goods
were false, meant confiscation if it should
be found that the goods were British. The
decree, as we observed on Saturday might
in that case as well not have been issued,
for the most of the goods allowed to be im
ported are British. But the n caning of the

ONE DAY LATER FROM ENGLAND,
Last evening arrived at this part the fast
sailing ship Remittance, Maddox, in 30 days
from Liverpool, which port she left on the
25tk of August Captain. M. has politely
furnished the Editors of the Mercantile Ad
•vcrti&er with a Liverpool paper of the 23d
and a file of the London Star to the 21st of
August, inclusive, from which we have ex
tracted the following articles.
London, August 21.-A Gottenburgh
Mail arrived this morning. However sin_
gular it may appear, Gustavus Adolphus"
the Ex King of Sweden, 3eems to have of_
ft red himself as a candidate to fill the throne
of that kingdom once more. By the fol
lowing accounts he seems to be on his way
from his late retirement to the North of
Burope. i ,
“ Lkipsic, July 30.—Count Van Gotforp,
Gustavus Adolphus, arrived here to-day-_
he continues his journey by way of Berlin,
where he will arrive to morrow.”
An Envoy from the United Stater, to sue..
Ceed General Armstrong, has arrived in
France.
By letters from Holland it appears that
the Dutch, so far from expecting any relief
to the oppressions under which the r Coin
nu-rte 1ms so long groaned, aie apprelien
sive that the new arrangements, solarfrom
ameliorating will increase their sufferings.
No confirmation has yet Been received
of the battle between the Allied Army
and the French, of which a rumour had
reached Corunna before the Nimrod left
that port,
Letters from Bilboa and Santander, stalk,
that serious consequences had resulted from
the late daring expedition under Pot tier.—
’Lhe French as a punishment on the Biscay
ans, have 1 evied a Contribution of 3,500,000
reals, and twelve thousand men have been
marched from Victoiia, to occupy the dif
ferent towns and ports of that unfortunate
province. A person who left Santander on
the 4th inst, describes in painful terms the
condition of that town and the adj iceut coun
try, in consequence of French exactions &
Oppressions. ,
Letters received from the Baltic, state,
that the vessels which were detained in tin
ports of Prussia, on suspicion of being laden
wbh English property, are likely to be re- !
leased on paying 50 per cent.
A gentleman from Gottenburg, who quit
ted the port on the 9th of the present
month -.ates that previous to that time in
tclhgence had been received of an older at
CbriMi.iiisand for the release of all Ameri
can vessels brought in thcic, which had not
been taken when under the guard of a Bri. i
tish convoy. In consequence of that regula
tion three ships of the U. States, with valu
able cargoes, had been released, and it was
hoped that this concession wmildbe made
throughout all the ports of Norway. An o
pinion generally pievailed, that the King
of Denmark would be the successful- can
didate for the succession to the Swedish
Throne. -
, A letter from Rostock gives .unfavorable
accounts of the sta<e of aff-iirs at that port.
It appears that measures of great severity
had been resorted to m that harbor against
all , American ships; and that noire of them
were permitted to land any part of their car
goes. ~ • .

Paris papers to the 13th inst. arrived last
night. They contain some accounts from
the East of Europe, according to these, the
general action between the Turks and' the
Russians, which took place near Schh’.ma
as we stated yesterday lasted three days.
; On the two first (the llih and 12th alt.)
the Turks had decidedly the advantage';
but the Russians are said to have renewed
the engagement on the 16th. when they to
tally defeated the former. The final resul*
of the operation is. however, eiven on au
thority which is acknowledged to be rather
questionable.
Letters from Amsterdam state, that Na
poleon was expected there yesterday ; and
domiciliary visits are expected immediately
to follow for the purpose of ascertaining the
quantity of colonial produce subject to the
new duties.

ll e understand that the principal object
of these gentlemen is to minutely examine
and rest by experiment. if necresary. the
various modes which Mr Fulton 'has to
propose for placing his Torpedoes under
the vessel while at anchor or under sail :
for, from the experiments which- he has al
reuay made by blowing up two brigs, it ah
pears to hr admitted by all parties, that if
the torpedoes can be sent under a ship, and
there explode- she will be destroyed. This
point acknowledged the question appears to
be whether a' well organized number of
row boats, and combinations added to cou
rage can place or. send- torpedoes under a

fire, or any combination- of obstructions or
resistance which she can make.
