The American Papers which reached town on Sa-
turtle), contain a copy of • letter (received by the
Joao) transmitted by 6enend Amami:on c. •i.,tich
he had received from the Duke of CADOM(Chain-
pagily), on the subject of the seizure and coodsca-
Imo of American ships—in which the French Mi-
nster says, " the Americans having, without ow
ground of complaint against France, prohibited'
French vessels froin entering their ports, on pain of
confiscation, Hu Imperial Majesty felt it necessary
to direct " that American vessels should he treated
in a reciprocal manner, not only in his own
country, but in all those countries under his influ.
ence, and that accordingly in Holland, Spain, Italy.
and Naples, American vessels have been seized, be-
cause the Americans had seized French vessels, er
made them liable to seizure." M. CIVAMPiONT
then observes, tat" they (the United States) ought
either to repeal their declaration of independence,
or to take measures to prevent their commerce and
industry from being taxed by the English, which
renders them more dependent than JANISiCO,
whirl has, at least, an Assembly of Repre-
sentatives, and its Privileges." And concludes
his letter by assuring General Altus-ranee of the
friendly intentions of France towards the (Jolted
States, and the favourable disposition of the ENIPI..
non towards American commerce, should the policy
of its Government permit him to indulge iii that
sentiment. Another letter is stated. in the %kit
sore paper. to have been addressed by the Duke
of CADOILM to Ceneral Aansranstu, in which lie
upbraids the American Executive with want of dig.
laity and energy, oa the occasion of their difference
with Mr. JACKSON. "Jai:viols." he soya, "should
have been sent off, and a confiscation of British
property, and a declaration of war, ought to bays
follow ed.'s
