LAsr *night Dutch Papers to the sth instant
rcached town, the contents of which are very.in-
terbsting. ;It appears that BtIONAPARTH is deter-
te cut off all intercourse heodyece France (in-
chiding 'her dependent States) and America ; for
orders have issued for the seizure and tionfiscation of
every American vessel that may hereafterenter aFrench
or. Dutch Port, and the reason assigned for this order
is', that the Embargo in America.has continued so
long, that every American: Ship must, of course,
either have been in a British Port, or have been'
visited by British Cruizers. In, the Ports of Hol-
land this Decree has already been acted upon,;--
Great ,nnmbera of American ' ships have, been'
seized, and soma of them bad not even been ac-
Fused Of haviirg touched at a British Port.
The two Vessels by which these rapers were
brought over were Americans. They reached the
Texel on the 90th oltimo. They were not suffered
to hied any part of their cargo, but were ordered to
put to Rea immediately, The CaPtaies were in hopes
that some exception would be made in them, be-
cause they had a censiderehle quantity of Jesuits
Thrk oe board;, but the Dutch Government,
to which the case was referred, dared not disobey
the orders of BUONAPARTit, and the Vessels were
o`r,lered to depart. We' shall be anxious to see in
what language Mr. hfrEliSON will areplaint the
Legislature of America with the condo& of his good
Ally the Emperor of the. French.
These Papers also contain Some intelligence from
Spain, but accounts of A more recent date have been
received by the 15-alv whiciehas arrived
at Faireuutli, from Bilboa, which phice she
left OH the 2cith ult. It appears that .13uee4-
rAeTE has not yet jeLleed it prudent to trust
him, elf in Spain, ;It r bas he acitnowleclged
the Prince of AsTurteAs as King-,—at least he
is not mentioned by that .title in' 'the French
or Dutch-Papers. Buotr4 PARTE,* according to the
Jut accounts, rernaine.d at Bayonne, where he had
prdered the Prince of ASTIit4AS toeiii:o.ed him t an
order which that Prince seems to have obeyed with
cot siderable degree of reldtance, and which the
feople of Spain appeared 'disposed not to suffer him
to obey at all, for he was stopped,upon his journey
at Vitteria by the populace, who desired to know the,
feosoll of his journey to Bayonne,' He assured them
that his condu6t Was senaioned by his Councillorsi
tied objea was to have all grounds of appre •
