WE yesterday announced the arrival of an Ame-
ari at 'Liverpool, from Norfolk, in
after a passage of sixteen days. Some Papers

been )received by this vessel, • but • they do.
not contain t‘he Speech. of the President of the
.gritted States on the opening of the Congress.;
but tliere can be Rae doubt that Mr. :JEFFERSON
sk;11 persist in his favourite measure of the 'Etn-
h4go. The submission with whiCh this'Gentletnan.

cOnsidering' the Ernbarg., as '‘a rte-astire .direded
equally against Great Bri,ain and France; he repro-
sults it as it is in, fief, a measure. directed solely and
exclusively against this Cowry, and as long as he
.approVes of the measure, the, Pre,,ident of the
United States, we are convinced, will not willingly
abandon it; the language hhwever used in the Ex-
pose. upon this subjeet., will render it impossible for
Mr. JgVFE-ttsox any. longer_, to impose upon the
People-of America by the pretence of impartiality;
and it now only remains for the Arriericans to de-
termine- whether they are willing to sacrifice.: their
Commercial prosperity to gratify the imph tcable
hatred of the French Usurper against this Country.

Letters' of the 27th September, from the River
Plate, ',mention, that Sir SIDICEYSMITLK was at the
time engaged in a Commercial Negotiation with the
Chief. Authorities at Buenos Ayres. Tile Officer
who communicated, with the town on the occasion
'vas-blindfolded 'as he entered it, and as hie returned.
A Idler from Lyons, in the Dutch Pai ers, stateq,
that the troops destined for Spain, whose arriv4l had
been tor some time expeded in that city, have not
arrived there; from which it is probablic.', that in-
stead of marching for Catalonia, their fit-idestina-
tion,t hey will‘now proceed by ashorter route through
Navarre, and the north of Old Caitile, ‘.vhere, in
tonSqluence of a' new plan, the greater part of the
French force will be concentral-ed. •

II has been said that the King of PE.ii§siA was
invited to attend the conferenc,..;,s at- Erfurth by the
Emperor ALEXANDER, as well 'as by BUONAPARTE,
but that he refused to quit Konig,sburgh, conceiv-
ing- that,the latter- Vveuicf be .obliged 4 tore withdraw
-part of his forces from the; -Prussian territories.
This iS a strange reason, for -the 'King of PRUSSIA
,theught that BuoNAPARTE intended to withdraw any
61 his troops from the Pruss lan dominions, the King
- have deemed if intoi-est- to 'endeavour
to conciliate the Corsican,. ira order to confirm 'him
in hid purpose. But, -indetd,- the King must lie
aware that nothing would. vvot:k- upon BUUNAPARTF.'S
mind, except his own intere. t, and, therefore; it is
- rather probable -that the King of PRUSSIA VaS
lited to the conferences by ,13uois'ArPAti.TE'; at least,
with any intimation that his presericeAvas required ;
for' if so, the Kht wouldile3rdly have ventured to
c'exlinc the: invitation, least the ;Tyrant should be
provoked by the refusal. If she King of PRUSSIA
was really invited, it was only ..as 'a were
ectmpli-
went, and it is net likely that_hc,,rvould readily have
accepted an invitation withou t necessity, which
would have put him ti the•pnwor of BUONAPARTE,
after what haS happend to the Royal-Family_of Spain.
It would have been an telly thin;; for BUONAPARTE,.
with or, without a pretext, to hove. disposed, of the:
King of PrtussiA, and to" bestow his Throne on :the
Prince of Ne-...7pottATt,L, who is Dine cif the Corsi-
can's Chief Agents, and woulti h:lve been very rise
ful to him in all future riLichinat:lons against the Em-
peror of AUSTRIA. •
• A letter front an Officer with :he army tinder the
orders of General'Sir DAVID BAP}ID, dated Corunna,
Nov. 15, says :"--" The Otlicers experience
the utmost civilityand.attention from all ranks ; but
,the very name of a Frefichmini is, detested beyond
description, so much so by the lower orders, that it
is impossible that BUONAPARTE 'Can be ultimately
successfuL. The communication between the scene
of aetion.andthis place is not frequent or regular. It
‘ Was reported this day that two S,)anish Generals are
under sentence of death; having been detthed in an
attempt to betray the Spanish Afmy. The bribe
offered, for this traitorous service is said to be thirty
millions of dollars."—lt is supposed that Generals
CUESTA, aryl PIGNATELLI are the OFicers alluded to
in this letter as being under sentence.

A certain Northern channel of periodical criti-
cism has excited great indignation, • even in the
place of its Origin, .al4 where it has been most in-
favour, by its observa!vos on CEVALLO4'S Exposi;
tion of the conduct of liiiON:AZARTE towards Spain
and its Royal Family. •The truth is, that the Re-
view alluded to seems to" be' chiefly otfcnded with.
Cm-A Lims because he is lOyal -to his Sovereign, and,
anxious to secure the independence of ,his country.
Bet whatlias given most offence in it %e Revi,:yo, to
the people of Edinburgh, is, its revival-W all, the
doctrines of the faaious cabal Who called-themselves'
The Friends.of the• People, as wt II as of The Corres.

against
.the publication alluded to, arid hope- the
same feelings, of contempt and indignation' will pre-
vail wherever the:Publication :n question may be,cir-

the .present form of our Govermnent can possibly
employ themselves in the attempt to Mitigate the
crimes of BUONAPARTE, parliCularly aim. that •most
execrable part of =all his condtli:Tt', his ungrateful and
cruel -treatment of the Royal Family of Spain.; and
-.his attempt, upon their extorted resignation of the
