Washington, May 28.
The information recently received from
France, is of such a complexion as to give
increased interest to the arrival of the John
Adams. By her, it is probable that a fuller,
perhaps a conclusive, indication of the tcin_
per of the French government will be re
ceived. We shall then, probably, be ena
bled to decide, whether, bad as tlie existing
state of things with her is, the prospect is
• not, that they will grow worse rather than
•better ; and whether the time is not at hand
when every American vessel, entering the
ports of the continent of Europe, will be
condemned; whether, in fact, any trade to
the continent can be carried on with safety.
We would not wish to paint the dangers of
the commercial world in exaggerated co
lors; but, it is a truth, which neither can
or ought to be disguised, that the whole fo
reign horizon lowers with dangers. The
numerous private letters, received from e
very part of Europe under the control of
Bonaparte, corroborate the tenor of the ofti.
c.ial documents in our last paper, and are
commentaries, which cannot be mistaken,
on the note of the l)uc de Cadore. Our
vessels are every where seized, not by the
municipal authority, or conformably to the
usual forms of judicial proceedings, but by
the strong ann of military power; not in
detail, but in mass. A general condemnati
on follows, and, by «ne tremendous sweep,
millions are carried into the public coffers.
In many ports, all this is done, not merely
without notice, but in direct violation of so
lemn assurances of protection; and, from
Denmark, unfortunate Denmark! we are
threatened with the lawless depredations of
■a swarm of privateers.
_ aucn are tne outrages committed on our
rights, which, it would seem, flow from the
mandates of the French government, co
temporaneous with the note of Due de Ca
dore. What prospect there isol being re
lieved from them, may be best ascertained
from the note itself. This p^per, it will be
observed, is no light or hasty exposition of
the sentiments of the French government.
It purports to be a wriV<#n answer given to
the verbal overtures of our minister, “ that
the President of the United States may the
better know l.Y\e friendly intentions of France
towards the United States, and her/avc-r«_
blc dispositions to American commerce.”_
It is consequently written to prevent all mis
take, and we might, perhaps, add, 'o silence
all hone of any change for the better.
If then,” says the note, alter going in_
lo some detail, “ the minister of America
‘can enter into an engagement, that the A
nterican vessels will not submit to the orders
iu council in England of November, 1807, nor
to any decree of blockade, unless this block
ade should be real, the undersigned is au
thorised to conclude every species of conven
tion tending to renew the treaty of commerce
with America, and in which all the mea
sures proper to consolidate the commerce
ami the prosperity of the Americans shall
be provided for. ”
The only construction that can be put up.,
cn this language, is, that if America will
actually make war upon England, France
will make a treaty with her. For France
knows, that, short of going to war, we have
done every thing to resist the liritish orders
in council and proclamation blockades ; that
we have imposed an embargo, passed a non
intercourse law and prohibited English arm
ed vessels from entering ouv waters; and
that we have offered to her, to continue the
two last prohibitions, so far as they allected
England, if she would rescind her edicts —
Mure than this could not have been done,
unless we had actually made war on England.
This, then, is the end at which France aims;
and this her nine yua non for respecting our
rights. And because we do not take this
step at her dictation, we are reptoached
with a want of '‘just political views, of ho
nor and of energy.” The blood that was
spilt in at^hievmg our liberties, is called up
in judgment against us, and we are told that
we “ ought either to tear to pieces the act of
our independence, and to become again, as
before the revolution, the subjects of En
gland, or to take such measures as that our
commerce and industry should not be tariff
ed by the English, which renders us more de
pendent than Jamaica, which, at least, has
its assembly of representatives and its pri
vileges'”
But, suppose ?t possible that we could be
«obase, as," at the mandate of any foreign
government, to be driven into war with its
enemy, what would be the effects? Th«/
trade with England, we all know, would be
lost. Is it certain that we should retain that
of the continent as our indemnity ? So far
from this being certain, is it not most likely,
that I’ ranee would then impose the same res
trictions on our trade to the continent, that
she now does upon that of her allies; prohi
bit it altogether, or only so far authorise it
as comported with her own interest?
I'or our own part, we do not hesitate to
*sy that the time lifts come, when every pat
riotic or prudent man among us should cease
to flatter himself with justice, much less
friendship, from either ol the beiligrrents ;
when the governnu nt should take firm and
permanent ground ; and the people, by their
industry and enterprise, make themselves
independent of Europe. England and France
have both the same object in view. In the
fury of their animosity against each other,
they are totally regardless of the rights of
neutrals ; and if they possess the power,
they will not leave a ntulral plank on the o
Although the retrospect is fruitful ofpain
ful feeling, we are irresistibly cat ried oack
to the proud and commanding attitude in
■which the Embargo, that much abused mea
sure, placed us. Not a day passes, without
confirming its wisdom, and illustrating the
penetration and foresight of the illustrious
characterthat recommended it. It was wor
thy of him, who had so splendid an agency in
aehievingour independence, to interpose this
shield for its protection against new and
fearful perils. However, amidst the squab
bles of party, its policy may be questioned,
and the motives nf its authors villified, when
the petty feuds of the day are forgotten, it
•will receive the award of an unprejudiced
posterity.
But the embargo and nnn'intercourse are
gone, and our merchants are now left to
manage their concerns in their own way.
If then a wide spread ruin overwhelm them,
let them not complain of their government;
the fault will be their own, and they must
submit to it without a murmur. They have
rejected every salutary restraint imposed up
on them ; they have demanded a perfect
freedom. I'hcy now have their wish. Wc
shall rejoice, if this freedom adds to their
P’ospt rny,and much more so, if it conduces
to the prosperity of the nation. The grati
ficatlon will be the livelier from its being un
expected.—Auf. Lit.

Foreicn Relations.
Our foreign affairs wear now a most gloo
my appearance-France says, that our
Flag shall not enter the ports of the conti
nent-and moreover has sequestered or
seized the cargoes, which have already none
under it. Of the first we have no right to
complain—-it is a municipal regulation.
I he last so far as:t applies to the real bon
afide American property is upon the face
ofit a fraud, unless it eventually extends to
cargoes only, which have been warned not
to enter her ports, or those which are not
proved to be British property.-Still there
is a mysterious cloud on these points. There
are certainly contradictory accounts on the
subject. The.Marquis of Gallo at Naples
draws a distinction between “ prohibited
MTU C 0 rlictinrtmn. U.t._ . *
cargoes” and non prohibited. Notice it is
said, has been given at Paris, for claimant,
to give in their claims “ satisfactory to the
courts.” The letter of the Due de Cadore
is more sweeping in its terms. It makes no
such distinctions.-And it is to be noted
too, that in the letter of the Minister of Na
ples, and in the treaty with Holland, there
are some hints dropt, that the property is
not finally swept off, but will await the

In this state of gloom and discontent, the
mind naturally turns to the Embargo-^-how
was it calumniatedin what bitter terms

encomium upon its merits is furnished bv the

commended that measure to Congress, on
account of “the great and increasing dan

So much for home—as for Sir. F. Bur"
dett, he is at length caged in the Tower, af_

Bui dett will not go to the bar of the H of C.
to make an apology and receive a repri
mand. Should tin- House expel him, a new
writ of election will issue-the electors of
Westminster will return him again—but
in that case, the II. of C. will not dare to act
over again the scenes of Wilkes andofLutte
rell, when the former was returned upon
their hands 3 successive times, and when
they at last got over the difficulty by declar
ing his opponent (L) duly .elected, though
W. had 1143 votes and L. only 296. They
will not dare, (we say.) to renew an en_
croachiuent, which threw all England into %
flame and which made Lord Chatham
declare in the House of Peers :
The constitution at this moment stands
violated. It the breach in the constitution
be effectually repaired, the people will of
themselves return to a state of tranquility :
if not, may discord prevail Jor ever ! I
know to what point this doctrine and this
language may appear directed. But I feel
the principles of an Englishman, aiul I ut
ter them without appreheusioit or reserve.
I have been bred up in these principles, and
know that when the liberty of the subject
is invaded, and all redress denied him, re_
sistance is justified.” This was the very
w«»rd which was cited, as seditiiais, against
Burdett—yet L. Chatham was not impri- I
soned—The only way for the ministry to
get out of the scrape, is to keep B. in the
Tower for several years, or to dissolve the
/iresent parliament.

Livkrpool, 18th April, 1810.
That there should have been a material
reduction in the value of American produce,
cannot be a matter of surprise, when the
circumstances of the case are duly consider*
ed.. The influence, upon public opinion,
which has arisen from a gradually extending
and increased belief that a favorable change,
in your political regulations, was approach
ing, has wholly destroyed the incentives to
speculation, while the magnitude of our sup
plies has powerfully contributed to the pro
duction of those efFects, which were natu
rally to be anticipated ; for, it is an admit
ted fact, that our imports, either directly,
or indirectly, since the commencement of
the present \ ear, have generally been more
extensive than at a time of regular aiul un
restricted intercourse. Owing to these cau
ses, our prices are now of a description which
must, we fear, prove a source of great dis
appointment to those who have been induced
to embark largely in the circuitous trade,
as the heavy expences, and unforeseen
delays attending the indirect mode of trans
mission, vyill render the result of shipments,
lately arrived, and of those which may yet
come forward, very different to what was
expected ; and, from present prospects,
there is much reason to apprehend, jthat
the eventual loss will, in some cases, he very
serious.
Although Cottons, of all descriptions, have
been, and still are, in regular and extensive
demand ; yet, the prices, from the expec
tation of abundant supplies, have been great
ly reduced, as the same motives which nr*
ged the Holders to effect a speedy sale, in
duced the Dealers to confine their purcha
ses to what was barely sufficient Tor imme
diate use. During this state of the market,
the Consumers were the only buyers ; but,
as the prices are now, comparatively, low,
a lew sales have been made to Speculators.
Although some of the Dealers are still in
clined to act cautiously, under an idea that
the heavy imports may afford them an op
portunity of purchasing on more advantage
ous terms ; yet most of the Importers, from |
the undecided state of Mr. Macon’s Bill, I
appear less solicitous for an immediate dis- |
posal of their stocks, not being without hopes
that some little improvement may, in the
mean time take place. Inferior Uplands mav
be quoted at 14Jd a 15d—fairat 15 4dre 15^'d
—good 16d—and fine lG±dre lGJd. Of New
Orleans we have none that can be reckoned
of superior quality, but such as the market
afTords, are worth from IGJd a 184d—Ten- ;
nessee 14-.}dre J5^d.—We may here observe,
that good Cottons only are in demand,
while the inferior qualities are, in a great
measure, neglected. The sales of Sea Isl-;
ands continue, upon the whole, extensive_
stained ls7d re Is 9d—ordinary Is lid a 2s
—fair 2s 1|—good 23 l£d a 2s 2d—fine 2s
c 2s .‘IJd-and a very choice parcel of
St. Simon’s would realise 2s 4d a 2s 4Jd, or
probably 2s 5d per lb. The exportation of,
1 wist is. now, but limited, and the ship j
ments of the raw material, for the Conti- •
nental markets, through the medium of
Heligoland, have also become very inconsi_
derable; in the favorable state of the home
trade, the Manufacturer, however, enjoys
a source of steady demand, and, even incase
no additional export vent should lie fortu
nately afiorded, it may he presumed, that
a space of some months must pass over, be- ‘
fore the stock of goods will become so large
as to render it necessary for the Manufactu
rer to abridge the extended scale, upon
which bis works are, at present, conducted.
Since the 1st January last, the total amount
of our imports is about 83.000 bags, of which
about 46,000 hags may have been received,
directly and indirectly, from the U. States.
Since the same period, we may estimate the
quantity, of all kinds, taken out of the mar
ket, weekly, to be, upon an average, from
4,000 to 4,500 bags.
VJI i ot Asnes, very few sales have lately
been effected, and, from the disposition
which now prevails, there is reason to sup
pose that a reduction of the prices must pre
cede any improvement in the demand._
Boston Pots are, nominally, 58s a 59s, 6c
New York 56s a 57s. Pearls are not more
favorably circumstanced at 60s a 62 per cwt.
Tne licences which were granted by our go
vernment, for the exportation of Ashes, ex_
tended only to the produce of Canada. This
description became, in consequence, the
exclusive object of speculation, and
Montreal Pots were, in the course of a
few weeks, advanced to 65s a G6s per cwt.
1 he demand, for the purpose in question,
has, however, greatly subsided, and these
quotations, we believe, could not now be
realized.
The act, suspending the duty on Uice, ex
pil ed upon the 25th ultimo; but an order in
Council has just been issued, allowing its
importation, duty-free, until the 25th of
March, 1.811. Previous to this notification,
several parcels of fine Carolina Mice had
been purchased at 25s a 25s 6d per cwt.
under an impression that the former duty
of 6s 4d per cwt. would be rejmposed ; but
we are not aware that any sales have been
effected since the Order in question was
made known.
The value of Tobacco was, for some time,
a matter of so much Uncertainty, that it was
scarcely possible to communicate any cor_
rect idea of the slate of the market. About
200 hhds. were, a few days ago, exposed by
public auction, which has been the means of
rendering the prices, in some degree, more
fixed and defined. From what was then sold,
the dift'eient descriptions of Leaf may now
be estimated as follows: inferior and ordi„
nary 3d a 4 jd — middling and fair 5do 6d
—good 6 Jd a rjd-fine 8d o9rt-and a
few pu-ticalarly choice hhds. might probably
i reach 9Jda la. Sterns are, for the present,
[stationary, at 8d a ltd per lb. It should be
| observed, that the low qualities, adapted
principally for exportation, (fhe stock of
which is almost daily accumulating) arc ve
ry unsaleable, and the good and fine Leals,
though scarce, are also in very limited de
mand.
After a long and continued state of depres
sion. Turpentine has declined to 18s a 21s
perewt. and, at the latter price, sou.e par
cels, of good quality, have been sold. The
quantity, however, has been very inconskle.
t able, as an advance was demanded by many
of the Holders, to which the Distillers have,
under ptesent circumstances, declined to
accede, and it does not appear probable, that
they will purchase with freedom, while our
relations with America are undecided_
Our arrivals in the mean time, continue to
be abundant, and the aggregate amount, rc
ceived since the begilining of this year, is
not less than 14,000 brls. — ■ The demand for
luris very liule, if at all, improved ; not
more than 27s a 29s perbrl. would be given
by the Pe*lert, even for small parcels.
l he thin qualities have, of late, been in some
request, and, from the ttilling quantity in
the market, that description has actually be
come more valuable than the thick &roany.
This very unusual circumstance arises from
the great scat city of Swedish Tur, which,
being generally thin, was well adapted to
particular purposes, for which American is
now the only substitute. The partial inqui
ry, which we have noticed, it» occasioned
principally by the tenor of the last ad.
vices from Sweden, by which, our sop_
plies will at least, be tendered more pre
carious. 1 hat kingdom, it appears, has
ultimately acceded to the Continental Sys
tern, in its fullest latitude, and an edict has
been issued, declaring all commercial in
tercourse with Gieat Britain to be finally
closed.
1 he prices of fine Quercitron Bark are
fully supported, as the arrivals are very
inconsiderable, and scarcely adequate to
supply the demand for Dyers’usc. For the
other descriptions, there is not much inquiry.
Til tenor may be quoted at 36s a 44s_
middling 46s a 50s-good 56s a 65s
and fine 70s a 84s per cwt.
v.onsiuerable sales ot Flax seed, fit for
sowing, were made, some time ago, al5i. 15
<i 61. 6s per lihd. for shipping to Ireland ; but
the demand is, at present, very dull, and1
these prices could not now be obtained.
Seed, suitable for crushing, is in very lit
tle request, at 12s a 13s per bushel.
T. he last sales ot American Clover-seed
were at 5/. 10s per cwt but when the sowing
season is at a close, (which will be in the
course of a few weeks,)' a considerable re
duction will necessarily ensue.
Our market continues very bare of fine
Wheats, and although we cannot quote
higher than 15s a i5s 6d for the generality
ot samples which are offered for sale ; yet,
we are inclined to believe, that a parcel of
very^goed American would obtain 15s 9d
per .0 lb. '1 be importations into London,
from France and Holland, since the 1st of
January last, have been very large, fully
equal to 237,000 quarters, whereas during
the same period, the inland supplies have
been very limited, being only about 45,000
quarters. It our foreign arrivals' should
continue as extensive as tiiev have hitherto
been, and, more especially, if the ports of
the Baltic should be opened, we may ex
pect, that the prices will be materially
ailected. The influence of these circum
stances, however, will be increased or di_
minished, according to tile slate and pros"
pects of the produce of our own soil, of
which the advices received, from various
districts, do not give a flattering account,
but it would be piemature, at this time, to
offer any opinion as to the ultimate issue.
Superfine flour is in tolerable demand at
56s a 59a per barrel.
For some time past, the sales of Timber :
though still limited, have from the pres
sure of necessity, been rattier upon the in.. 1
crease, and tfie stocks in this market are
now within less compass than has been
known at almost any former period. The
whole quantity of Fine, including two car
goes just arrived, would not, it is supposed,
exceed .>0,000 feet; the prices, notwith
standing, remain stationary, as the Holders
seem disposed to meet the existing demand,
rather than speculate upon future events’
Common Fine is worth from 4s 4d a 4s 5d*
and Georgia Fitch Fine 3s 3da 5s 4d perfoot.
Every description of Staves is exceeding
ly dull. Barrel at 14/. a \7l.-Hhd. at
