NOTICE TO BRITISH SEAMEN.

" The American Committees hate determined to retaliate
upon all Illtit,sh Seamen, if the deserters *he were taken in
Cie Chesapeake suffer for their crimes. That they will do to,
if found guilty upon their trial, Is not to be doubted. It
therefore behoves all British &SIM% to take care of themselves
and, by joining their uwn Country's Standaid spin, to asubl
an ignominious and unlawful death "

The Sateen, Lord A. Static Luc, and the Swift-
rare, Capt. RUTHVITOR Di from the Mediterranean,
were released from quarantine am Saturday morning.
The Swift:ere is three months from Malta, and the
Saturn five weeks and three days from Gibraltar,
with a convoy. The Setur4 is come home in cons*.
quence of striking on a sunken rock, about six
leagues from Cadiz, where she was almost lost.
She left the fizet off Cadiz on the 16th ult. con-
sisting of the following ships : Atlett (Admiral
Pus •'st) Chry, Torrale. Fame, Mag.
uifcient. ksedlent, Reverrge and Couragetis. The
Zrabas was at Gibraltar fitting. The ports of MI-.
b.try, from whence our squadron drew their supp:ie:,
of fre‘li provisions, are shut against us, which is much
felt, the scurvy frequently makes its appearance.—
the Preach hare six sail of the line and twis

.\\:,'

frigates, and dm Spaniards have five sail of the
line and three frigates, ready for sea. in Cadiz They
are expelled to make an attempt to es:ape in the
winter months. The Spaniards have six sail of
the line at Carthagena, which want men to make
them ready for sea; and four sail of the line at
Toulon, which occasionally come out to exercise.
The garrison at Gibraltar is very healthy, and no
sickness of any sort prevails in Spain or in the Me-
diterranean. The Hon. Gen. besot, who is re
rovered tithe bad wound he received in Egypt, is
come home in the Swfisurc. About 200 French
prisoners, taken at the battle of Maida, are come
home in the same ships.

We give, this day, the Resolutions of the Dads
Government, for carrying into elite the Decree
lately passed in Holland against British Commerce.
They are drawn up with care, to meet with trety
possible case ; and while they remain its foice, no
conflation of any sort can subsist between Rughsad
and Holland. Report states that our Goveram .I,t
has resolved to retaliate on France by a Psoclama-
tion, exattly on the model of the French decree of
blockade. Not only the coasts of France and of
Italy. but of every European Slate under the influ.
ence and contrast of NAPOLRON—as also all foreign
dependencies so circumstanced, will he dictated is
a state of blockadeotad all vessels going to *ream-
ing from any of them, will be declared legal prizes.
Should this measure be adopted. it %via entirely us.
persede all discussion upon one of the leading %tile&
of dispute bawees this country and America ; we
mean the carrying trade with Europe, as exercised
by the Americans, with regret to the French Co-
lonies.

Dicpat:hes were, yesterday, received from the
West Indi•s, from the Hon. ALse. Cocueens.
