PARTI LION 07 AMERICA.

1, The correspondence of Telleyrand and Ger.eral
Moreau, which caused such surmises at New York
in February last, is at length developing, and we
can scarcely be surprised at the events which have
since followed :

" Bonaparte and Moreau are reconciled.
'• If Moreau can persuade America to break with
England, ten thousand French troops are, in con-
junflion with the Americans, to drive the English
from the continent. Canada and Nova-Scotia are
are to be ereiled into a Monarchy ; and Moreau to
be crowned King of Acadia and both the Canada..
America is to have the Florida', as well as Loui-
siana; and the island of Porto-Rico, or some
other valuable West-India island, to be given up to
then.

•~'lbe Government of America not having suffi-
cient energy. by the present Constitution, the Presi-
dent to be supported in his endeavours to change it.
and a new form of legislature adopted, in which the
chair is to be assumed for life.

" The only difficulty is stated by the American
Government to arise from the northern states, who
might be averse to such a neighbour as the kingdom
of Aeadie and Canada, governed by a Fienchman ;
buy this may probably be overcome if the war with
Logland can be nude a popular one.

. .
The authenticity of this inteliigeree cannot be
doubted : and the Americans wlio are now loudly

crying out for a war with England, may know how
completely they have been made the tools of France
and its pensioners." •

Captain Da Cavada, of the sloop Vi:ibani. informs,
that a few days before he sailed, news arrived at
St. Jago from Barmen, of an English ship having
landed 96 men, and of their having been immedi•
ately surrounded, six killed, and the rest taken pri-
soners, by the crews of two French privateers.
The Captain of the Ferret informed Captain
Cavada of his having captured the Fiend) Imperial
schooner, Jihnsitypna, the day before they boarded
him.

Ewell from a letter from a gentleman in Lon-
don, to his friend in this city:—
is Since I wrote you last, 1 have ascertained the
following fails :

" Ist. That our Government instructed our Ministers not
to agree to any treaty that did not snake an American ship s
sineihisry for seinsee.
"td. That the British Commissioners absolutely refused to
insert any clause to that dna in the treaty, inasmuch as it
went to encourage desertion from their ships, and, when
deserted, thereby prntetled.
" d That our Minister', in consequence, declared the
negociation at an end.
" 411 i. That the British Commiseleners solicited a conti-
nuation of the negociatinn Ull all the other suhjels, wh eh was
agreed ta, upon the exprets condition that such partial treaty
lint be held official un the part of the United States.
" ,Ih. In lieu of the article regarding seamen insisted upon
by our Ministers, the British Commissioner., ix /1/14 y e klof,
el the practice they would pursue towards the United
States regarding seamen.

" 6. There was no additional article to the Treaty (as was
supposed), but the British Commissioners aildresstd a latter
to our Ministers (after Bonapatte's decree of blueltaile) de-
claring dream-I,m at liberty to couaterreil the measures Franco
weight pursue under that decree, sinless America icsi.ted the
encroachments of Frar ce.

" 7th. Thai the treaty in other respects was as favourable
and reciprocal as could reasonably be expected.
•s No apprehensions exist of any change of sentiment In-
wards America, in consequence of the new Administration.
In case no treaty should be agreed rpm, we shall only be con-
sidered to stand ea t►e ground we did before wo had • treaty
with ibis country. Our sea letter ships will not be permitted to
enter as American ships in British putts."

An explosion of 30,0001b5. of powder, at Luxem-
bourg, has ruined upwards of two hundred families.
We bear from the western parts of the state, that
the influenza in those parts is followed by, or rather
leads into,a dangerous typhus ferer.—(4l/.sany Paper.)

SALTIMORS, S&PT. 12.

On Monday morning last, the United States fri-
gate Chesapeake, and two gun-boats, arrived at An-
napolis from Norfolk: and on Wednesday they
sailed, with a fair wind, down the bey. We are un-
acquainted with the object of this expedition.
Extra& of a letter, dated Montreal, August 27,
1807 Vigorous preparations are making
throughout this province, in expectation of an at-
tack from the States. On a review of the militia,
this morning, the Commanding Officer harangued
them in French, and informed them, that as war
was expelled between England and the United
States, it was the wish of His MAJESTY, that the
people of Canada should be in readiness ; it was
therefore ordered. • That every fifth man of the
militia be immediately selsaed, and equipped at the
expense of Government.' "
