DAY AST.]

" NENOI6I2I{ , MAY 30.—1 t is understood that the
hornet, after so long a delay, haS returned without
fulfilling the wishes Of Government, or fUrnishing
any satisfactory evidences that the French:Go-
vernthent sincerely intends to do that justice to the
United States which aloiie can place the relations
of the two ebuntries•on an amicable -fCoting..--
goWever it niayliaVe Observed the revocation of
its Decrees, and thereby. fulfilled- its pledge,
so far as its adversary could deriN'T a pretext from
them against the United' States, its
.proceed-,
ings in respect to our just -claims and • eX-
pectations, on other important subjects, arealto-
ether unsatisfactory. - As it is probable that the
public 'will scion be furnished with the means of
forthing a. correct judgment on the posture of Our
affairs with that-Belligerent,' it is the intim unne-
cessary to enlarge our vague remarks ou.the sub-
ject, or to anticipate the course which the Na-.
Councils may judge best adapted to
" The confiscation, at Naples, of several Ame-
rican vessels and cargoes are Rained, to provethaf_
the French .Decrees remain in full force.", '

" PARIS, APRIL 18.-1 hn.ve told you. all I
know with respect to COntincntal affairs, and the
means which Buonaparte intends to employ to re.
duce Alexanderto obedience.

" I have no knowledge of the state of our
affairs'here, but I shall. be very much astonished
if tit :Hornet takes out
.any thing but fair pro-
Warlord. will, no doubt; tell his Go-
vernment, 'that the • Wasp Will, Without fail;
carry out their accornplishment J. but I would
tell them,. if •they were to, send out swarms cif
Wasps and Hornets, they would all return
home empty.' It 'is': not to be C7.pected,.that
our littleness ' will obtain frOrs lis omnipo-
tence any advantage that would in tb e smallest
degree interfere with his system. If any thing
Were granted..; it' would be only with a view to
throwils into a war with Great Britain. ,

" Two of Mr. Russell's Messengers are, now at
Marlaix;•and all his applications in their behalf
remain unanswered. One of 'thee Messengers,
Mr. Didier, of Balthnore, has been there these
two months-: he would not giVeup his'dispatches,
but stood by. them nianftilly. Barlow at last di-
rected him to bi;ivethem over to the,Police, and
they came tip-to Paris in the Diligence ! !-! Sin e

"New York,
" Mr. Barlow's ,dispatches by the liors4ct, I .
can' inforin contain instructions given to
him on his going to kranee ; and sundry letters
from-Mr. Birltiw to the Secretary. of State, de-
tailing 'the substance of. conversations, &e. be--
tween the .Reach I.Slipister,and Mr: Barlow, in
A.hich it ,is . evident the Frenchinan intends only ,
to amuse him with promises of treaty, and
never 'intends any thing decisive shotild take place.
Mr. Barlow't last dispatch is dated April_22, in
which he informs the Government that he is un7
der the necessity of sending the 4-lornet home
without a treat-, although he .had detained
her, „so long under the expectation of conclud-
ing one ; . but that from sonic 'expressions' in
his last dispatch from Mr. Apthroe; he 'does
not feel' the same anXiety,_ is thereby
instructed to blend the subject. of a commercial-
treaty and indemnifications for past wrongs ; and
these, he informs, arc dull subjects,' and drag:hea-
vily, he not having had it in his power, till very
lately, to-get even an oral' answer to communica-
tions 'on that point ; tbut the Minister had inform-
Jed him that s,ornething slkbidd` be done„ Mr, Bar-
low informs the, Government Buonaparte was
not well pleased at the_Bill, reportedby. the Com-
mittee of Commerce and Manufactures, for allow-
ing the importation of English goods in certain
cases; and that, .although he had'explained the
matter, as he thought, satgfactorily, yet his Ma-
jesty
could not be brought to approve it." ,

To-morrow a general Rehearsal Wip take place
at the King's- Theatre of the Opera of The Orazi
