We inserted a lett.T tram Berlin on Saturday, in
which the delay that has taken place in the conti-
nental communications, announced in I lis
Ma-
r:.srv's Speech at the opening of the late Session of
Parliament, is partly explained. Much abuse may
have been praaised in the name of Private Corre-
spondence, but we can rely upon the atuhet ticity of
our communication. The Hamburgh Mail due on

'WeJnestlay arrived on Saturday ; and announces,
in the rapid nod constant movements of couriers,
an increased aetivity of diplomatic intercourse be-
tween the Courts of Berlin and St. Petersburgh, as
atediatory powers between England and France.

The Austrian Minister, Count !Ira R HEM is eau, is
on sue cve of his depart.ii c tor Vi.mna upon business
of the almost importaace. Ills Excellency is much
at rcited to England.

The ifrireri'a convoy very narrowly escaped cap-
t.:re. The r.i.t sal: of tie line at Carthagena had
heard of their corning down the Mediterranean, and
were waiting off that port, to intercept them. Fortun-
ately, the iro IL-rse fr;gate, Capt. Bovtir, who was
also acipiamied with the circumstance, SAW the Span.
ships, and mado 4A in the supposed track that
the c,invoy woold come. In half an hour af-
terwards. she spoke the Anion, and the whole con-
voy stood over to the Barbary shore, and passed
through tae Gut of Gibraltar in tl.e night. A fog
also came on, which tavomed thei- p,siab them.
Twelve trar,sports joined the con f -o:n
tar. There was no ship of ^ar lying at Malta 'Jut
tl.e prison ship. The Exertrrit was b. ne
at N. vies ; ani the .I,ndbri, ire and S. .r UPI.' at Gib-
raltar. Co,,r/ion brig, which came !rom Halt.:
with ale emivnyi parted company off Cadiz. The
7 erntszant sloop was repairing at Gibraltar.

No accounts of or fro.n L.'rd NELSON have been
r-ceived subsequent to those brought home by the
Cu,a'ix. 'flat vessel teconnoitred enemy s.n

the 20th of June, about 300 leagues N.E. of A..-
qua.. llitd his Lordship left that I.land on the

Jay after the rt, ieur, be could any have Oveitaken
the enefily until the 9.1 d, since which has intervetasd
only a space of three weeks', affording tinso bstrely
stifiic.:eut for the arrival of any dispatches from
Loidsh:p sulsiequent to that date. We find, how.
ever, the public impatience already exhausted,
ttinplatmg the arrival of the enemy in the Chc,a-
peal:, at Newfoundland, or on their way to the East

Indies. A Ministerial Paper, anticipating their escape
from Lord telaesota, says : 44 Should they sneak into
an American asylum, it must strike the people of
the United States with the highest aci:niration of
British valour, and fill them with awe at mir power,
to see 17 French and Spanish sail of the line shrink-
ing from 10 British." The Combined Fleet certainly
fled (Torn the West Indies, panic-struck at the name
of Lord NELSON. It is also certain, according to the
repnrt uf the Creieur, that they were on the el9th
within a hundred leagues of the Chesapeak, being
about tour days distance, according to their rate of
sailing, from the time they passed Antigua. If the
crews were so sickly, as they have been represented.
and the vessels sailed so very badly, and yet they
sailed very well out to the West Indies, these dream
stances, no doubt, increase the probability that they
may have sought shelter in an American port. We
see, however, that event, if, indeed, any such has
taken piece, in a light very different from that of
the Ministerial Paper to which we allude, and with
a very different feelieg. The Americans want no new
lessen from Lord NELSON to teach them to admire
British valour, and perhaps we should purchase their
contempt of the French at too dear a rate by a safe
aliem in the Chesapeak from our vengeance. If
the dispatches of the Curieu r afforded the slightest
geettrei to snipe& that the French meant to reek
shutter is an American port, we centend that the
English Minister was guilty of neeligence, if he di.l
not immediately send nut a remonstrance upon the
hare probability of such a result. When S;r d s Es
Cite ler's expedition lately touched et Lisbon, it is 1
notorious that the French and Spanish Gevetnmere
remonstrated against its gray in that port, or ,eere
only prevented from doing so in t !e most positive
and pre sing manner by the departure of the expe-
dition for Gibraltar. The conditA of France, which
is yestrei •ed by no considerately; of public right or
justice ir; the pursuit of it: obj-et, is no doubt a bad
example for imitation ; but England is, therefore,
the more excusable in insisting noon ~he retwpown
and pushing what is right to the utmost extremity.
We maintain then that the United States cannot,
under the present circumstances, afford proteetiol
to the French fleet in any of their ports against Lord
N Lucre, without aCting partial!), towards France.
The French cannot plead, in jusr;sieation of such a
proceeding, either the perils of the sea, or stress of
weather. They go into the Chesapeak in enntra-
diaion of their own professions, to avoid enconn-

tering the enemy whom they came oat avnwe !ly to
fight and to conquer. England assign-d as one of
the grou.ids of the present war with Spain, that
Ilis CATHOLIC MAJESTY afforded facilities for the
repairing and fitting nut of French ships at Cadiz.
Will she then surer the Chesapeak to become a
naval station for the purpose of building and equip-
ping an enemy's flitet there for the conquest of her
colonies in the West Indies ? If Bn. has no
tight to build a fleet in the Chesapeak, for the purpose
of hostility against Englaad,sohas he no right to send
a fl•et from France to that station, in the prostcu• ion
of hostility against us. The United States will, of
course, require some explanation of the °Nett and
motive of this extraordinary visit. Will the French
Admiral say that he fled, panic-struck, at the name
of Lord Nstsoes 1 He will more probably plead sick-
ness, and the bad state of his ships. This answer
would carry falsehood on the face of it. Leaving
Lord Nessota out of the question, we can scarcely
suppose, that the fLet was not in a state to make its
way•back to Europe. However, be the answer what
it may, how can we, or how can America, be certain,
that its visit to the Chesapeak does not form a part
of the original plan of operations; that BONAT A art
did not intend, from the beginning, to keep a fleet
of 17 sail of the line safe in the Chesapeak, ready
to avail itself of the first opportunity to pounce
down upon the \Sest•lndies t The word and honour
of molar Governments may be accepted as a se-
cavity for their conduet ; but has not Revolutionary
France EJ. Tiered snore by false promises and pro-
testions, than by its arms ? But, leaving the interest
of England aside, America must surely fed for her
own safety. Thcre is notoriously a strong French
party in A inci ;ca. rpulation is not yet conso-
ltdared into such an uniform mass of loyalty and
unanimity as may bid defiance to faelion and sedi-
tion. Amerce contai::s thousands of Jacobins and
agitator,, to whom a French Fleet of seventeen
sail a the line would arord a rallying point, at
once fomenting their spirit, and extending their prin-
ciples. The case of the two French tiigates, which
remained for so great a part of last year blockaded
in an Amercan port, by two i.nglish, furnishes no
answer to these arguments. Their presence did

"4*
{'not involve any of the conseipences which America
ti .J .England wn•IJ have a right to apprehend
frorri a force of seadnteen sail of the line in the
Cheitipealt. .
