The Imperial Russian Lnrd Chamherlain; M. de
Ribedupierie, arrived hero 'n the 10th in the even-
tram Memel, with a kt:er from His Imperial
M.j..sty the Emperor of Ro,sia, to His Royal Ma-
jesty, and is to set out on his re—ton to Memel,
this evening, with the King's answer.—(Sivriketse

It appears by letters t,"m yie•ina, that C,eler.il
Mayendorf is blockading Ismael wit'i a considerable
Russian force. Twenty RUSIIA3 pin-boats are al-
ready arrived in the Danube, to prevent the Turks
from crrssing that river, and facilitate the redac-
tion of Ismaelb Silty more gun-boys are crpeet-
scl in the Danube. General Michelson's army kis
ohtained considerable advantages over the Turki
near Dag& and Dorpath, and has is consequence
advanced farther into the country. New distur-
bances have broken out in Remelia, between the
Sashay/. of Arm and Naair. An extraordinary
Activity prevails in the Russian purls in the Black
Sea. More of the regiments of snot and horse,
stationed in the Crimea, air on .their march to join
General Michrlson't army, under the orders of the
Duke of Rinelicu. According to acconnts from
Semlin, of the lot of April, a rebellion of a serious
natnre hts broken out in B : upwards of
$OOO forks are said to have already perished in
that country.—(Copenb•irn Gotrite. 48M of April )

It is understood that the President will not send
bark the St nish Treaty, as same have asserted, out
of respect to the British Government ; that he will
not, however, lay it before the Senate ; and that he
will instruct our Commissioners to proceed in the
negociation, as if, in fact, no such treaty had ever
been draughted. The want of sane adequate
provision t•"r the protectioa of our seamen, contd.
lutes one objection to the treaty in its present form.
But the principal one arises from the note of the
British Ministry, which accompanies it.—(lticissend

that such suspension shaU nut extend beyond the second Mon-

therefore, be it known, that I, THOMAS JEFFERSON.
Pre—ricnt of the United States, by rirtue or the authority
aforessid, do hereby suspend the opinion of the act, entitled,
" An act to prohibit the importation of cermiir goods, warei,

wail the second Monday of December next.
In testiuionli whereof, I have caused the seal of the United

In pursuance of a notice in the papers of yester-
day, a meeting of the Merchants, Importers of
Goods horn Great Britain and her dependencies.
wss last evening held at the Tontine Coffee-house.
Mr. Gilbert Aspinwall, was called to the Chair,
and Mr. John L. Broome, appointed Secretary.
The Committee appointed for the purpose at a
previous meeting to draft a respectful memorial to
the President of the United States. made a report
of the same, which was read and unanimously
adopted.
It stated, in forcible terms, the extreme anxiety
under which the merchants laboured. from their
ignorance as to the intentions of the Executive in
relation to the farther invention of the Non•im-
portation Ad beyond the let of July next; for,
should it not be the intention of the President to
extend the suspension, they would held it expe-
dient immediately to countermand their orders for
all goods which were sent in consequence of the
arrival of the treaty, and other circumstances com-
bining to, lead them into a belief that our dar rence
wi h Great Britain would be amicably adjusted.
That since the treaty is said to have bee.' sent
lack. they have become greatly and jisrlf alarm-
ed as to the fare of those expeded importations.
A crimm.ttee of tw:nty-one was appointed to
traettpit the Memorial to the Secretary of State,
to ba bdOre the President, with a solicitation
to have an an.wer hy•the middle of ',eat mon.h.

knelt signed at L.ndon by the American and Bri-
tish Ministers, that conjecture has beers badlesi, and
opinion wan ed data to rest bison.
We believe we have it in ion power to relieve
the public mind from that uncertainty in which
it has heretofore been suspended. The treaty
w.ll be immediately returned to London for fur-
ther negociation. For this purpose, the Way
ship of war is ordered to be g rt ready for sea im-
mediately —th. officers are seleded, the crew corn-
pletsd, and 'Thursday next is named as the day on
which she is to sail. Capt. Smith, who is to corn-
reand the Wo7, will be the bearer of the treaty to
London; from thence the Wisp will repair to the
Mediterranean, whets she is to be stationed.

In conversation on the subjeet of the treaty, the
President hat been heard to declare, that had he
laid it before the Senate, and that body had been
unanimous in advi►ing its ratification, still he
wolild have withheld the sanaios of his signature.
So hostile dives he feel himself to some of its prin-
ciples, and so determined on its total rejeetion in
its,present form.
The fire which destroyed Detrost, the tit of St/Ile.
1405. consumed the houses on twenty-five streets,—
Sixteen human beings were burnt, and cows,
horses, and sheep, shared the same tate. The inha-
bit:iris escaped with only the linen on their backs.
A tribe of the Delaware Indians came to a resolu•
tine to relieve the surf , and sent 18 snitch cows,
25 sheep, witl• mkt% chickpM, &c. to their relief.

I.ONDON,
TUESDAY, At.• 12.

We have received New York papers to the sth of
Apia. It appears from them, that in the latter end
of March, the importing merch ants of that city
petitioned the Piestotrer for kformation relative to
his intentions respe.9ing the further saspv.renr. cl
the Nondmportation An, wu:n would expire on
the first of July. It was also confidently as I viz-
rally believed, that the treaty with Great 13,;taio
would be immediately returned, and tl.e Warp 'loop
of war WAS said to be in readit.ess to carry it to
Eigland. On the 28th of March, ho salver, the
Proclamation of the Piastopier was received at
New York, for further suspending the Non-importa-
tion AA until Dec.l4, and this measure considerably
relieved the public min 1. The New-York Papers also
announce the arrest of Colooel Bell*, a full account
of which is given in our last pa,,,e. He was in
that city on the 4th, and was experfted to be brought
speedily to trial. America, like England, is
thrown into a ferment, by the approaching eleaions.
I'h• Journals are almost flit l with accounts of
public meetings, resolutions, and political disquisie
tions.

Two Gottenburgh Maih arrived yesterday.—
They contain nothing of any interest.

We received, yesterday, counts from Barbadrrs,
to the 24:h March, inclusive. The following is the
only intelligence which they bring :

" 1141134160/.1, )II A RCH 21.

" Slr Alen. Cochran?, squadron of the line, after taki g
iii wood and water at Dominica, have gone to wind aard of
Martinique, and were maims.; off there en the 16th in tent

ginning amid month.
" The Venue frigate, from of Martinique, what she left
the Adninal, arrived here on Tuesday attertroen.

The cry of 4' No Popery," dies fast away. The
people begin to detefl the views of those who pro-
moted it, and to examine the nature of the measure
on which so absurd a tocsin of alarm has been
sounded throughout she kingdom. They perceive,
with surprise, that the concession recommended in
England, by Lord Howick, MU infinitely less
than the boon granted in Ireland, by Lord West-
moreland ; that what was asked for Briti.h Ro-
man Catholics, with many restridions, had been
given, three years ago, to foreign Pap'sts, without
reserve or hesitation ; that what the late Ministers
proposed. fell short of what the present effefled ;
and that Lord Grenville and Lord Howick's mea-
sure was not a tenth-part of what Lord Ca,tlereagh,
the Duke of Portland. and Mr. Canning, earnestly
and repeatedly recommended. The admirable let-
ter of Lord Grenville has removed all doubt, anJ
convinced every reasonable man. tl:at to represent
the Church as endangered, is to censure Mr. Burke,
Mr. Pitt, and Mr. n.x. as enemies of the State, to
condemn the very Ministers themselves, and to ca-
lumniate the charaEler and principles of every pub-
lie man of eminence, during the last twenty years,
both in England and Ireland.
The following circumstances, also, have Cut es•
caped the observation of the sober and thinking part
of the community, and will, no doubt, have consider-
able weight in the en-uing EleCtions for the coun-
des of Great Britain.

First—No man in either [Lose ventured to main-
tain those &Chines, which, nut of the House, Mi.
sisters and Ministerial Candidates have been so
aaive in promulgating.
Secondly—linwever loud some fattious persons
may have been at public meetings, and sin the
hustings, out sac ern stated, in the House of
Lords, in the presence cf Lord Grenville, that
there was, or had been, the slightest danger to our
establishments. We would ask these criers of No
Popery"--those bra..elers for Church and King--
these sturdy clianirions of our estalili,i)ment—how
it happens. that out of tliiity.two Prelate.,, whom
oar Constitution places in the I•cart of the Legicla.

teftion of our Church. oor oos should have stood
forward to arraign the enemies of our Protestamt
Faith—tine ONE should have raised his sacred voice,
to preserve the fabric of oar Tabernacle from
profanation and destruftion ? By what strange
fatality did it come to pass, that riva of
the most pious and learned of that body, voted
with persons whom oar great disines, Mr. Per-
ceval, Mr. Deputy Birch, and Mr. Tyrwhitt
Jones. would peTlllsstiC us, were little better than
Papists and Athiests ? We ask these knight-erranis
of an oppressed Chetah, how it Kapp red that the
venerable Watson. the successful antagonist of
Paine, the able champion of the C-rspel. in all its
parity, coalesced with the prolbgate and wiper-

.fillets supporters of Atheism and Pope') ? Vitas

came to pass, that the teacher of his youth. th► Wird

the p'ace where the Constitution has mated

doing any mischief by su.li a law, all would have
been relieved from a grievance, real or intagina
or at least from a stigma or an ;mit. It, t!-Te-
fore, it were true, (es it is most false) that 2.1 the
Members of the Church of England were loud in
their condemnation of the measure, the utrne,; ;h,t
would he proved, would he, that two-thirds of the
kingdom were against it. Rut of these two et.:r,,r,
we believe, that ill one-half approve the bill,
and we are confident that more than one-half detect
the artifices practised to defeat it, 2nd to bla,:it
those who proposed or supported it. In the Mr!:,.
polis, in Westor;nster, in Middlesex, and in Sao'',
no apprehension has been felt, though great pains
have been taken to excite it. ' Near the seat 4
Government, the nature of -the maser., is knoen,
and the nature of the cry is understood also ; and
if the first is not strongly and eagerly supported.
the last is justly reprobated and generary ecspi:cd.
All the Candidates for popularity in Weaminsor,
(the most popular of all Lleaiona), have felt tVr
interest to disclaim the fesra so artfully excites,
and so industriously spread. It would be strarge
if a vpnlace had juster views of our Religion, ttas
those whose learning and piety have placed them at
the bead of it. It would he yet more strange, if the
mobs of distant towns shenlid evince a clearer in-
si3ht into our policy, more 'crow ledge in state slats,
and greater vigilance in the defence of our Comet.

tion of the Metropolis, and its neighboushood.
That those remote from the scene should see more
than those who ate near it, is as whimsical a
dodtrine in politics, as it would be in optics. Why
then do the populace of Liverpool and Bristol, cry

claim "No Peculation r' It is not because the
people of Lancashire are better Protestants then :he
