RECONCILIATION WITH AMEIIICAI.

The misundnstanding with America, which has
proved a s4urce of so much anxious speculation,
may be now considered finally settled. In a for-
mer Paper we stated, that the wounded honour of
the United States was only to be healed by mark-
ing the conduni of the Leopard, in its attack upon the
Ctesgeadr, with the displeasure of the Br!,tish Go-
vetranc.A. This once granted, along with the re-
Vocation of all c'aim of right to visit ships of war,
we h izArdc.l art opinion that dye 6iendly relations
between the two countries woul.l oat receive any
hrt'ler interruption; and to this opinion sve a Ihere
The first of these two points was publicly conceded
rale days since The recal of Admiral 13m aptly,
within whose command, and by whose direa and
imam lixte authority, the affair of the Chem:l.4.'4,
took place, cannot be considered in any other light
than as a sacrifice to the wounded honour of the
Americans in that particular case. 'l•h: second
rat point cf disrut.., which is the general question,
aPPears, by a Proclamation in Tke Ger, the of Sam-
d'y oigl,t, to be also completely set at rest for ever.
This Proclamation, of which we give a faithful
e°l4. requires all British seamen in fofeit,n service
%okay& the same, and join British ships or return
borne ; it also commands all Captains of our ships
of war to stop every such person, be'ng a natural-
burn sojea of this kingdom, from entering into the
stvvice of any foreign St de ; and to seize, take, and
lung away all such persons found employed in any fo-
reign merchant ships; but enkAning all Commanders
le Pekmit no man to go on board of such vessels in
may with us. to seize such peritlns, for whose dis-
creet and orderly demeanour they canrot answer.
Tins insttudion is, however, confined to merchant
ships, and doss not extend to ships of war. In the
case of vessels of the latter description, uamely, ships
of war, the • it:ht of visit is not allowed ; but our
C..mmanders shall require of the Commander of the

foreign skip, to release anti distharge sech British
seamen ; and on refusal, to transmit information
thereof to the Commander of their squadron ; who
is to transmit information to our Minister, at the seat
of Goverment of the State to which the foreign ship
shall belong, or to the Lerds of the Admiralty,
that the necessary steps may be taken for redress.
Here the right of visiting ships of war, in the precise
manner it was exercised by the Leopard, in pursu-
ance of the orders of Admiral Brea 'Lev. is com-
pletely given up, and another course prescribed in
its place. This amounts to a complete abandon-
ment of all claim to search neutral ships of war; nor
does it stop here; for the recommendation of great
care and caution to be observed in the search cf
merchant vessels, is an indtred admission. that the
complaints so repeatedly urged by the Americans,
of irregularities committed by our cruisers in the
search of their merchant-men, are well-founded.
and consequently the precaution recommended
against their recur-ru-e, is 'a farther concession to
America. Under all these circumstances, although
the :real of re-.: teansen to their Country's service,
upon the ground of especial difficulty and danger,
be the prominent and most o emsible feature of the
Proclamation, it is an official declaration of the code
of maritime rights which we mean to observe in
our intercourse with America, in relation to the seve-
ral disputed points, as well as complaints, that have
been brought into discussion. These point; em-
brace the c n bid of the Leopard, the alleged itre-
yulsrities committed in the search of neutral mer-
chant vessels, and the arrogated claim of a right to
visit neutral ships of war. And, as in all these
three points, the Proclamation of our Government
has given full sstisfadlion, by the recal of Admiral
v, the injunction of regularity in the
search of merchant vessels, and the ahannorrment
of the tight to search ships of war, we do repeat,
that we must consider the Proclamati in as a decla-
ration of an amicable adjustment of all our differ-
ences with America. When this subjed was first
broached. we stated that there was a great and es-
sential distiniion between the right of search, as
chimed and exercised in relation to ships of war an•l
merchantmeo. In the case of merchan m-n, tri-
bunals are estahlished in every country, to which the
foreign and neutral owners may have redress for
any injury which th -7 may have sustained in the
exercise of that rite... b..- it the case of ships of war
they represent the awe ; ,Lnd between independent
states there is II / com:non tribunal to whic:. they
cto apply redress. The right of search, V:ere-
tore, if Pejo, ed by them, would en.. 44 every
ist,'y privateer, yr.:., a single gun in •her bow, to
commit an sed of hm: lty, and involve •wn friendly
=lot., in was when ••:-.• she please'; -: as there is
something revolting in this idea, groun.lio,c our opi-
nion upon the authority of sem! of the soundest
writers upon t e maritime law •f nations, we did
not hesitate to condemn the assumption of such a
principle.

We have received Harnsurgh papers to the 2d,
and Dutch papers to the 14th instant, inelud.ng Tie
Raba! Herds Ger:ette of the 11th. We have ex-
traaed from them various articles that are ,nterest-
ing, although none of them may be of much im-
portance. The new King of WISIPHALIA has
issued a Proclamation, dissolving the Denotation
of the States of Hanover ; and some part of the
dtstria of Rimslnb, in the ei-theant Bids ptie of
O.nahurgh, having resisted the colleaion of
taxes, the principals have been ordered to be
tried by a special commission, and the im-
posts to be doubled. For the other parti-
culars we must refer to our extralts. The
Dutch Papers contain two Decrees direfted against
our commerce, the one declaring that the property
already seized is not to go into the public treasury,
but to be applied to a sinking fond—the other de-
clares, that all neutral vessels, of whatever descrip-
tion, coming from, or going to, an English port, are
to be seized, and declared lawful prize.

but was, on account of the war with the Turks,
obliged to take a long and circuitous roots from
Bussora. He travelled thence through Arabia. Cur.

Astracan. and thence through Russia, and by the
Baltic to England. The plague haying made its ap-
pearance lately in the city of Astracan, he was obli-
ged to perform thirty-five days quarantine at different
places between the mouth of the River Wolga and
the city of Moscow. before he was permitted to
approach the latter, and finally prosecute his journey.
He landed at Yarmouth on Friday night from on

very stormy weather upon his passage•. Having
