the Fret ch bulletin, is said to have cost
the Allies 16,000 men—the whole 5000

j or taken prisoners. The loss on the
side of the French is not mentioned.
The names of several of the officers were

only granted. 1 he same account, with
the exception of 2 or 3,000 few er killed,

UN\ e have a terrible time with the Hu
gh ish Sailors here, they have broken
many heads and have half pulled down
the .Mandarin House immediately op
posite Biddle’s where the boats land,
and last night set fire to the remainder;
fortunately the wind was very light, or it
might have occasioned the destruction
ol the boats on the river.
uMarch 3./, 1 807.
u Since I wrote the above, two China
men have died in < onscpience of wounds
received from the sailors on liberty, and
the IIoppoo has made a formal demand
from Mr. Robertthe Chief, of a man.
1 his he lias per mptorily refused; in
consequence, this morning the chops ol
the sh:p Neptun have be n stopped.
Both sides seem firm in their Resolves,
the one, not to <h liver a man, tli • other,
to interdict all business until it is done.”
Speaking of the prohabilitv of Con
gress being convened, the l'.ditor of the
National Intelligencer savs *._
41 ^dn this point th re appt ars to be
considerable public solicitude, which as
t -r as we are en ibled we deem it our
duty to satisfy, h rom what we have been
iible to collect, Congri ss will probably
be specially convened,but not b fore time
sliall have elaps d sufficient to receive
an answer front the British government.
I he simoom r R venge will be immedi
ately sent to hn; land, with a becoming
demand on the part ol our government,
and with accompanying instructions,
not to admit ol procrastination or evasi
on. It is probable that about 3 months
will be taken up in goingto&c returning
from Khgland ; to this may be added
two or three Weeks which may he con
sumed in that country, as its government
may, at the arrival of our dispatches,
he engaged on objects that will forbid
an instantaneous attention to our requi
■ sition, and as some time will probably
I be consumed in the consequent at range
| ment. This w ill carry us into the latter
I end oi October or beginning of Novem
ber, at which time it is likely Congress
will be convened. They will then have
before them the materials for the exer
cise of an enlightened judgment ; they
ivill he able to ascertain whether we are
to consider Britain as our friend or ene
my, and, by knowing the extent as well
as the nature of the clanger to be appre
hended, be able to take such measures of
war, or commcrcical restriction, as shall
best promote our own interests, and
mo t severely affect those of the enemy.’’
