Pori/, July 2.—Sir, fb my circular of tbe 20th
of October fust, I apprised you, that, according to
a regulation of tbe Minister of the Interior, dated
tbe 1 (fib,* vinegar; being a description of wine,
might, under that denomination, be comprised a
nxtng the^oductions of the soil permitted to be
exported elder tbe licences. *
“ The proportional quantity of wine and brandy
that may be put on board tbe licensed vessels, hnv.
ing been since determined by the decree of the 1-lth
February, bis excellenry decided on the 30th ol
June, that the intent of ths said decree would not
be fulfilled, if the vinegars were merely admitted io
the room of wines; and that they can only lorru
of the surplus of tbe cargoes, as productions of the
soil.
“You will consequently be pie me d to give orders,
that one half at least «f the cargoes ol vessels pro
vided with licenses, shall be compos-d of real v.ines
and bramlits, without tolerating any 'substitution
of liquors of the same species, but diiienug iu qua
lity.
“ I beg you will enforce this regulation, and us
sore o-e of your attention in this lespect, hy ac
knowledging tbe receipt of the present circular.’'
A vessel which arrived in the river on Friday,
from Heligoland, ha* brought some mure German
papers, but they are not oi later dates 11..in those
received (hirirfo the week. It was reported at He
ligoland mi the departure ol tins vessel, that tiie es
king of Sweden had arrived in the Prussian capital,
and-been put under arrest by order of li.mapaiir,—
T*1** indignity is stated to have been occasioned by
th.it mi for tun.it- non 'roll's violation of Ins promise
not to approach the coasts of the Baltic until a
cotuin -nial pence.
The X-ue Z-itung confidently asserts, that the
treaty recently concluded l et w. en Bonaparte and the
emperor Franc.s, o‘I gc* the latter to place ht the
disposal ol his son-in law, a body of troops notex
c»edmg 50,000 men, which may be employed in a
ny par; ul toe contirunt, as the exigencies of tbs
war may require.
These paper's mention one curious fact, which
might run i.i he suppress d, hs shewing clearly the
lotriau.s of Bonaparte to influence the election of
a succi ssor to the Swedish throne : the Orebro Ga
setie is under the superintendance of M. Morville,
a native ol France, and who was placed in tbntsi
nii.tinn, at the particular request of the French con
sol.
The choice nf a successor to the present king of
Sweden is not likely to terminate in the way th-t
w..s u-neiaily supposed. The iuiidenre that pruco
r,'rt the election of the late crown prui'-e still survives
■mb predominates. Letters of the lStli inst. from
Gotn nhurgh stat*, there was little doubt that the
duke of Aiigusteiiburg would he chosen pnuce. A
tr .il in-.j' iity in three out of the lour states had
led..red (or him. They were all nearly unanimous
m the.} opposition to ir e king of Denmark. The
orders oi toe cl ray and the peasants had declared
against Briiuloile ; ilw first, it is said, on account
ol Ins reft gum, the latter because he was a French
man. 'ihe name of the prince of Ol ienhurgh does
not appear in the list ol candidates, nor does the
least suspicion appear to he entertained of the pos
sibility of Gosiiivus Adolphus coming forward to
assert his right to the crown.
* Friday, al Portsmouth, the Undaunted made the
signal for the Mediterranean^and it was understood
meant to sail on Saturday, should the wind permit.
—There is in the fleet which accompanieA the Un
daunted, 6000 fine troops, destined its reinforce
ments for tbe Peninsula and Sicily,
We this morning received Paris papers to the
20th inst. A despatch of Massent contains the
French account of the affair in the vicinity «f Al
meida, on the 24th ult. Accustomed as we have
been to the exaggerations and suppressions in the
bulletins respecting the comparative losses of the
French and tbeir opponents, we have hardly ever
seen a more barefaced and extravagant misrepresen
tution^tban is given of that action. The force un
der General Crawlurd, or. as it is called, the divi
sinn of the advanced guard of the British army. is
magnified to 2000 cavalry", and 8000 mfanlrv! The
loss which It suffered, including the killed, wound
ed, and prisoners, is set down at lull 1500 mcur be
sides one stand of colours, and two pieces of artil
lery ! The number of officers Killed is cutup <ted at
bO ; 24 of whom are s.nd to have been buried in
the field of battle; of rourse by the French, as
they remained in possession of it! The enemy es
timste their loss, on this occasion, at 300 killed*
and wounded; a number much greater than the
leehle resistance (according to their accounts) made
by grn. Craub rd’s division would justify us in sup
posing. This despatrh is dated from Salamanca,
which shews that the French had no intention of
forcing a general engagement at the beginning of
this month. If there was any probability of such
an event taking place, assuredly Massena would not
have been at Salamanca.
New York papers have arrived to the 23d oh.—
They contain a note from Mr. Gallatin, minister of
finance, relative to a conversation between Mr.
Krskiae and himself, and to the general grounds
whirls were considered in America as forming i
proper basis for an adjustment of differences witk
this country. These grounds'are four in numher—
Vp«n the second, relating to our orders in counril,
America appears to have expected that “ these or
ders should be, repealed, simply on tba ground o|
the non-in ten-nurse act, applying, in tbpt event,.ex
clusively to France, so Jong as her decrees violating
the neutral rights of thr^United States continued in
furee.*—How the American government couid en
tertain auch an expectation, we are wholly at a lose
to conjecture. The orders in council were issued;
n»t in tAptequenre of any art passed by America,
but io consequence of Bonaparte’s decree._How
ronld it'be supposed, therefore, that those orders
would be repealed without the previous revocation

al mijfsly being seated on the throne, surrounded
by the princes and great officers of stale, ibe depu
ties of Holland were presented to his majesty ; anil
their president, his excellency Admiral Verbuel, de
livered the following speech ; * •'£ IS
“ Sire—Vour very faithful subjects of Holland
the members of the council of state, of the legisla
tive body, ol the deputies of the land and sea forces,
and the deputies of the city of Amsterdam, have the
honour u( presenting themselves at the feet of your
majesty’s throne, respectfully to declare the seuti
oieots of admiration, confidence, and obedience with
which they are animated. . • -pi,
“ The Dutch people. Sire, known in the annals
of histoiy by the exploits of their heroes, by the
spotless character of their statesmen, and the exer
tions made by them to obtain and maintain their in
dependence, are still possessed of a strong recollecti
on ol the virtues of their forefathers.
“ The great events which Europe has witnessed
in the realise of the present century have complete
ly changed the political supports and relations of
'totes, and in leper,deuce, lor the attainment of
whirl, our ancestors sacrificed their properly, their
blood, and all that is ilius! dear to men, fiom tile
pressure of circumstances rou'd not hut undergo cer
tain restrictions. At length, united with the first
■tilion in the world, called by the greatest Prince
in the universe to share in the favour which his ex
alted genios and paternal soliri’uds liberally lie
slews on his happy .subjects, and of which Holland
has ah end y obtained so many proofs, the Dutch
ron'inue to flatter themselves that, by their loyalty,
li.eir oi edivtire, and their inviolable attachment to
l eir prim e and Father, they shall deseive the pro
tection ol a nngbiy) g-nerous upright, and beuevo
lent government."
uis imperial mejesty returned the following an
swer:—
“ Gentlemen, deputies of the legislative body, of
the land and sea lorces of Holland, and gentlemen
deputies of my good city of Amsterdam. For these
thirty years you have experienced many vicissitudes.
You have Inst your liberty when one of the great
officers of the republick, forced by Britain, em
ployed Prussian bayonets to inlet rupt the delibera
tions of your councils. It was then that the wise
constitution handed down to you by your forefathers
was destroyed for ever.
“ \ ou formed a part of the coalition, in conse
quence of which French armies conquered your
country—an event which was the unavoidable con
sequence of the alliance with Britain. After the
conquest a distinct government was formed, yet
your republick formed part of the empire. Your
strong fortresses, and the principal positions in
your country, were occupied t y French tumps ; and
your government was chanced according to the
opininus which succeeded each other in France.
“ When Providence placed me on the first throne
of the world, it fell to my lot to decide for ever the
late of trance, and of all the nations vvhtrh com
pose this vast empire ; to bestow on all the signal
advantages which atise from firmness, consistency,
and order ; and to destroy the baneful conseqnenrrs
of irregularity and weakness. I put a pcriiaf to the
wavering destinies of Italy, by placing the iron
crown on fny bead; I annihilated the government
which ruled Piedmont ; by mv art of mediation- I
justly appreciated the constitution of Switzerland,
and brought the local circumstances of the country
in unison with the safety and rights of this imperi
al crown. I gave you a prince of my blood for your
ruler; this was intended ns a bond to unite the lon
cerns of your tepublnk with the rights of the em
pire. My 'hopes have been deceived, ami on this
occasion I have shewn more forbearance than my
character generally admits and my rights required.
I have at length put a period to the painful uncer
tainty ot your Inture late, unit waeded off the fatal
blow which threaiened to annihilate all your pro
perty, all your resources. I have opened the conti
nent to your national industry ; the day shall come
when you are to conduct ray eagles to the seas cele
brated by the exploits of your ancestors ; then shall
you shew yourselves noithy of yourselves and of i
me From this moment till that period all the
changes th it take place in Rurope shall have for j
their first motive the destruction of I hat tyrannical I
and irrational system which the Britishgovernmeat
uiimin itul of the pernicious constqtiuuces which
arise therefrom to its own country, has adopted, to
outlaw f wimerce and trade, and subject it to the !
arbitrary authority of tarnish hrtnsos. '
“ Gentlemen deputies of the legislative body, and
of the land and sea forces of Holland, and gentle
men deputies of my good eity of Amsterdam, tell
mv subjects of Holland, I feel perfectly satisfied
thfy possess the seutiments they profess for me —
tell them that I doubt not their loyal altac fcment,
and depend on ibeir heartily joining their exertions
to those of the rest of my subjects to reconquer the
ri,hts of the sen, the luss of whkh five coalitions
incited by liiitain have indicted on the continent;
tell them, that, in all circumstances, they may
reckon on my peculiar protection."
