FRIDAY EVEN MG, OCT; *&%!<>.
We ere indebted to Captain Maxwell, of the Prig
Heroine, and tome merr an tile friends for files ol
Glasgow papers to the first of September, which
give London dates a few days later than have been
received, and which are copied into this day's pa
per- . •'
It will be seen by the Order of Council which is
new published, that the trade between Great-Bri
taio and France is regulated in the most formal
manner, according to the form of the license, which
is in fact the order. This extraordinary (aBd under
all circumstances) most unexpected commercial in
tercourse, will produce a sensible effect upon the
commerce and agriculture of this country. It is
highly probable that a number of our ships may,
and no doubt will be employed in this trade, for let
i.piouji-.iia mm wennsis s*y ana do what
they please, traders will be found where money is
to be made. Ships were not ouilt to.rol for want
of employment. There is no doubt something that
is not very agreeable to the pride of our country
men, to find that they are reduced to the necessity
ol trading under special permissions of the belliger
enls. Hut all this mischief and all this degradation,
have been produced by our submission to the Her
lin decree. It was that submission which Hfiixed
the seal of disgrace upon our before honourable
character, and when it will he taken off God only
knows. We mean not, however, to enlaige upon
a tbpick, which has so oiten been presented to our
readers, that nothing we can now offer will furnish
any thing new.
This intercourse must, and will'have, a very se
rious effect upon the prices of wheat and flour, in
this*country, for which we shall shorily have no
other market than the West Indies, as murh of the
grain, which will be exported from France to Eng.
land, will be sent directly on to Portugal and Spain,
cheaper tbun we can furnish, until pi ices are much
reduced in this country.
From the conditions which are prescribed by the
Hritish Order, it would seem as if she had the ex
clusive regulation, and as if Buonaparte bad be
come so distressed by his own measures, as to be
content to accept commerce upon such terms, as his
enemy should please to grant. So much for the
boasted continental system, which our visionary
politicians, insisted would bring Britain to the feet
of Napoleon.
Our papers speak of the harvest, as abundant in
the most unrommon degree.
The papers are almost silent upon American ef
tairs, nor does any notice appear to have been tfl
km of the Duke de Caddie's late letter to Gen.
Armstrong, as respects the revocation of the orders
in council; it is, however, understood that as soon
as the French decrees are rescinded, the orders of
council will be revoked, but as the promise on the
part of France te rescind her decrees in November,
dues not now rescind them, things will remain as
they are until November.
Washington Citt, Oct. 15.
Government, we understand, has received dis
patches tmm gen. Armstrong, by the ship Sully
arrived at Baltimore ; hut they are of a date anteri
or to that ol the letter from M. Champagny to our
muvsier at Pans relative to the repeal of the Berlin
and Milan decrees.
From certain paragraphs which have recently
appeared in the English prints, i( is propable that
question* may hereafter am.-, between the Amen
« «i) and British governments, on the suM-ct of
Blockades. On rerun ing In the do, omrnts com

to Mr. Madison, explanatory of the British do. trine
on that topic.' It embraces, we believe, the prin
oples cordially admitted by the United Slates, be

LATEST FROM LONDON.
This forenoon arrived (he ship Ceres, in 42 days
from London. We understand tbal she has brought i
a London paper of the 27th Adjust, two days the
latest, hut we have not fceen so lurtuinte as to pro
cure the loan of it. We ara mf.ru.ed however, that j
it routains no newi of anv rniHfou^nn;, i
There had been nothing done in the British cabi
net respec ting the orders in council when the Ceres
left London, nor do we l-arh that there Was „ny
news from the cnutiurnt hqt what has been before
received, 't wo American ships, the Ephigafi an.I
Brothers hound to Tonnmgen, which had t>een cap !
tured and earned tutu Erase*, had been released.
From the Glasgow Courier, of August 31. >
PR1V VI E CORRESPONDENCE. ’ ' !
■' London, Monday evening, half past 7.
- A mail from Lisbon was this morning received
in town, brought to (iosport by his majesty'? ship
Milan, which sailed from the Tagus on the Iltii
ru*t, The private communications confirm the
statement formerly made of ihejreUeatwf thu tne
my, which bad been aupounced at Lisbon by the
telegraph. The enemy, it appear*, had leit Pm
hflanu Francoco, and Imd Wei liugloqY head quar
tets were again at Celeries The retreat of U* ...
nerny is stated to have been necessary, in const,
qoenceof the absolute, want of provisions for the
troops nud forage for the cavalry, and not. to the
prevalence of disease, as was stated on Saturd .y.
*—Ibis circumstance had produced, not only ai
Lisbon but at Oporto, the restoration of the great
er part of that confidence, which, by the last park
et, appeared to h«Ve been on tl>e derlinc, and the
merchants now direct their agents and corrvepouo
ents to execute, without delay, those orders' which
i)ad been previously countermanded, v
Tho letters from Oporto, (the. last of which is
dated the 7th Instant) state, that the officer* in the
Portuguese regiments in their Utters to their I wend.-,
hod communicated the intelligence which orufirmed
the retreat of the French, end that inconsequence
their alarms had subsided forthe present. >■
It now turns out that the agitation produced at
Oporto, was the consequence of a tutermnt whir h
hed reached that city announcing, that the coosbi
««d forces wtr* rapidly reirratiug, when.in point of
tsict, they were retrogadinglqr tho purpose nf con
centrating theirTorrw.
