A Morning Paper asserts that the Prussian Consul
resident in- Great Britain has officially notified dirk-
the Ports,of Prussia will, henceforth be shut againke
Great Britain. We may of course, exped that the
enmity of France will be dire6ted against us in every
possible Manner, but we are assured that no such
notification has been made to our Government.

WE have received American Papers to the Ist ult.
the contenta of which Will be found in a subsequent
Column. ,They afford a strong proof, that while
the People of America think proper to indulge in
the Most senseless clamour upon every real or,
supposed injury from this Country, they can sub-' '
mit to the grossest insults and injuries from France,
without that'violent,display of patriotic indignation
which was called forth by the rencontre betwech
the Leopard and the Chesapeake. It appears that
the American Ship Whelk has been captured in
an American Harbour, by a French Privateer, upon
the pretext that she came from an English Port.
Previous to the capture of this Vessel, the Captain of
the French Line-of-battle Ship- the Patriot went on
board her, condts6led himself with great politeness,
and did not give any hint that he considered her as a
lawful Prize : but there can be little doubt that the
'capture •61 the Othello was made with the concur-
rence of the Captain of the Patriot, forthe Privateer'
had 1.5 of the Patriot's men on board. This story.
is calmly told in the American Papers. There are no
expressions 'of indignation against the French—no
public Meetings appeared to have been called—no
ResolutionS entered into -to inrerdid all communi-
cation with the French ; although. the Privateer
wantpnlyfired several vollies of musquetry into the
Othello. It is possible that at another time the
Pe'ople and the Government of America would sub.-
mit in silence to this, as they have often sule.l
mitted to outrages of' infinitely greater magnitude,'
from the French; but after
,the importance' which.
has been attached to the. affair of the Leopard
and the Chesapeake, some remonstrance must be
made to save appearances. It is said that the French
Minister has sent a _Commission to inquireinto the
conduct of the. Captain 'of the Patriot, and that he
has declared;, that if the Captain connived at, or aid-
ed in the attack upon the Othello, he shall be given
up to the Government of the United States, to be
proceeded with according to. Law. The reason of
extreme condescension of General
under the present circumstances, is toe Obvious, tv
require any comment. •

The a&ivity displayed by the Court of Lisbon, in
fitting Out the whole of its Fleet, has given rise to a
number of conjeaures : the first and most obvious
one, to which we have frequently alluded, is, that
the Portuguese 'government, worn out by the con-
tinued exactions, and alarmed at the 'menaces of
France, is at length seriously determined to put in
execution the long-meditated plan of emigrating
to the Brazils. But it has been snggested, with
very little appearance of probability, in our opinion,
that Portugal is fitting out her Fleet under the
pretext of going to the BraZUS, but in reality with
the intention of surrendering it to France. It is
stated,' that France can proted Portugal, and that
England, 'cannot; and that, therefore, it would be
wise policy in Portugal to break of , her councilor'
with, England, and put herself under the proteaion
of France but those who indulge in this specula-
tion seem to forget that the inevitable consequence
of such a step would be the immediate lasi of all
her Colonial Possessiens.
