AMERICAN PAPERS.

BOSTON, OCT.
.13.—0 n the Bth inst the St.
Michaels Brig arrived at Baltimore, in 48 days from
L'Orient ; and the Messenger (Mr. ),17/4.1)-Ea) with
important dispatches tor Government, set out the
next morning for Washington.
Extract of arLetter from an American Gentleman of respe&a-

Witty, arrived in the St. Michaels, :rom France :

Time • wiil not admit my communicating any.
political pews—suffice it to say, THERE IS NOT THE
LEAST PROSPECT OF AN AMICABLE ADJUSTMENT OF

oUic AFFAI:IS, WITH EITHER FRANCE OR ENGLAND

EJR THE PRESENT.'

" The arrival of the St. Michaels, at last, does
away all the eledioneering stories circulated' by Mr.
JEFFERSON arid his partismis.

The plain state of the case now is—we can
have no accommodation with Fiancé ; for sbe will
yield not hin •to us, while weizave surrenc4red our
hzdependence to her. We can have no accommo-
dation with England, because we refuse all reason-
able terms; while she has proffered every thing
consistent with her honour.

-" A. Gentleman of respe&ability, who came pas-
senger in the-inzerica, says, that•our dispatch-ship,
the St.-. Michaels, was condemned as good prize in
France; but that the Emperor afterwards gave her
up, saying that he would make her a present to the
President of the United States."—,(U. S. Gazette.)

" The same Gentleman states also, that the Bri-
tish Government had wade a proposition in form to
BUONM'ARTE, to rescind their Orders in Council
provided he would revoke his Decrees; but that he
peremptorily refused. The condemnation of Ame-
rican property continued to go on with increased
vigour in France, and no hopes were entertained of
the recovery of a single Qiip or cargo held, is se-.
questrat ion
" The. Chronicle yesterday published General
SMITH'S account of the exaaions of duty, by the
British on six pipes of gin. But why did not the
General and the Chronicle tell their hearers and
readers the whole truth I Why do they betray
their partiality for the French, and prejudice
against the English, in every word they say or pub-
lish ? Why did they not honestly declare, that the
vessel, which had to pay duties in England, be-.
cause, she was front a place under the controul of
the French—would, if she had been from England
and carried into France, have been condemned.

" If France did exactly what Britain dues, that is
entered American vessels from and cleared Awe-
rican for. England, General SMITH and
his friends would say BUONAPARTE had relaxed
in an important degee from the rigour of his De-
ees.

How di'Sgusting it is to find a Member of the
Senate of the United States give a partial account of
our foreign relations, and repeating continually,
without reason, an irritating word, in order to in-
flame the passions of the people, and further his
own political views
OCT. 1 9.—" Dispatches have, we understand,
been received by our, Government from Mr, PINCK-
NEY as late as the 6th of September. At that time
our affairs with England wore nearly t he' same-as-
pea as on the departure of the St.-lklichaels. A defi-
nitive answer was soon expeaed from the British
Government to the proposition made on our part
to suspend the Embargo so far as it respects Eng-
land on her rasciudiug her Orders in Council so far
as they respell us. As the Hope was daily looked
for in England on her return from France, she
may be soon expeaed with the answer. There
is however, one circumstance,. that may produce
some doubt of an early accommodation, to wit,--
the recent appearance of a pamphlet, attributed
to a Ministerial Member of Parliament, in which
it is maintained to be the interest of Great Britain
still to' continue her orders, notwithstanding France
should repeal her decrees."

The Lone MAYOR has given so Much offence to
the Opposition Writers, by declining to convene a
Hall for the purpose of considering the propriety of
discussing- a subject which is now undergoing in-
vestigation, ordered by his MAJESTY; that he must
prepare himself to expect ail the malice of party
spleen. Accordingly welitid that this at of plain
manly sense has already been represented as a
proof of a " close connection" between hint and the
Minister. , Upon the same principle every man of
sense and liberality in the kingdom, must have a
" close connection" with the Minister, as Well as
the LORD MAYOR. • But it seems that the LORD.
MAYOR has grievously offended the Opposition
Writers, by having yesterday stated, that notwith-
standing the rumours afloat respecting unfavourable'
events in Spain, Ministers had received no offici;-tl
intelligence it such events ; . and the reason why
_those wriiers are otfended with his Lordship is, that
his statement " had the tied of
,soothing the popu-
lar feeliniy„ by inducing a doubt as to the discourage-
lug in circulation !"., The LORD MAYOR
then may see that the readiest means to obtain the
goodwill of the OVposition. Prints, is to damp the
hopes of the. public as much as possible on the affairs
of Spain, and when unfavourable intelligence arrives
-from that Country, to deepest the gloom, and on
" liorrorNs head horrors accumulate."
We are desired to correCta statement in yester-
day's Paper, respeCting the payments at the Lord
Chamberlain's Office : it should have read ." Lady-
day" instead of " Chrighaas."
