PHILADELPHIA, February 19.
Extract of a letter from Washington,
dated February 13, 1807.
“ Our minister at Paris, has called
upon the government of France for the
necessary explanation of the true intent
and meaning of the decree of November
21st as it may relate to the commerce of
the United States; and I have the happi
ness ofinformingyou, that he has re
ceived, through the Ministerof Marine,
the most satisfactory assurances, in due
'■ form, thot the Decree will not, in any
manner disturb the friendly commercial
regulations that have subsisted between
the United States and France, under the
convention of Sept. 30, 1800.”
From LONDON, Dec. 30.
A respectable morning paper informs
tis, that private letters were received
\ esterday from Charleston, announcing
the seizure of some of our vessels the re,
and the landing and lodging their car
goes in the custom-house stores.
In consequence of this information, a
deputation of American merchants is
said to have waited on Lord Grenville
yesterday, to receive instructions with
respect to the line of conduct most pru
dent to be adopted under existing cir
cumstances. The answer rumoured to
have been given was, that whatever in
convenience might have been experien
ced, there was very little likelihood of its
being of long duration. From this re
ply it maybe inferred, that the differ
ences with America are likely to be ad
justed.
