of Europe ; and that' as such an increase would place
so much lower t han-usnal the littiit to whicn our ex-

Changes tlni;.-;nt 'fall, an explanation might iher,..by be.
furnished of their .preient unusual f, ii. Your
•
Committed'accordingly clireded their inquiries to

this point.
It was stated to your. Committee, by, the mer-
chant who has been already mentioned.as
timately acquainted with- .the trade between this
country ..and the Continent, that 'the: present 'ex-
pense of transporting gold' from London to_ Ham-
burgh, independent of the premium of insurance,
is from 1 to 2 per cent. ; that die risk is:very-0,
riable from day to day,' so that' there is no fixed
premium,: but he conceived average risk,. for the •
fifteen_ months-preceding the time when he spoke,
ta-haee -been about 4 per cent.-; making the whole
cost of sending geld'from London to Hamburgh for
those_ tifteen _months; at:stitly *rage-4- risk, • •
from 5 to 6 per, cent.-Mr. Abraham Guldstnid
stated, that in thL last five or sils,Months 'of the year
Isog, the expense of sending gold to. Holland va-
ried exceedingly, froM 4 to 7 per cent. for all
charges, covering the risk as welt as the .costs of
transportation: By the evidence ,which was taken
before the Committees- upon., the- Batik 'affairs in
1,797, it appears that the cost of sending specie from
London to Hamburgh in that time of war, ittchL!..
ing 'alicharges,as well as an overage uiaurance. was
estimated et a little wore than 3 per_ cent. it i 3
dear, therefore, that in consequence of the pecu-
liar circumstances of the present state of the war,
and the increased difficUWes of intercourse w!th the
'Continent, the cost of transporting the preciOus
metals
,thither from this country has not only been
rendered more fluctuating than it used to be, but,
Upon the whole, .is very considerably increased. It
would. appear, however, that upon an average Of
the risk. for t;,at period when it seems to. have betel
kighest, the last half of the, last par, the cost and
insurance of transporting gold to. Hamburgla or to
Holland did not exceed 7 per cent. It was of
course krqater 'at particular nines, when the risk -
was above that average. It is,evident also. that the
'risk, and consequently the whole cost of transport-'.
tog it to an inland market,' to Paris for example,
would, upon an average, be higher than that of
ca'rying it to Amsterdam or Hamburgh. It follows,
that the limit to which the exchanges, as resulting '
from the state of trade, might fall an.i continue tan-
/avowable for a considerable. length of iitoe, has,
during the period' to que,tion, been a good deaf_
lower than. in former times of ‘war'; hut it appear;
also, that the' expense of remitting specie has not
been increased so much, and that the lim:t, by
which the depression of the exchanges is bounded,
has'not been lowered so much, as to.atford an ade-
quite explanation of a-fall of the exchanges so great
as from 16 to 20 per cent. below par. The in-
creased cost of such remittance would explain, at
those moments when the risk was greatest,
.a all
of something more than 7 per cent. in the_exchange
'with Hamburgh or Holland, and. a fall still greater
perhaps in the exchange with Paris; but th'e rest ot.
the fall, which has a&ually taken place, remains to
be, explained in some other manner.
Your Committee are disposed' to think from the
result of the whole evidence, contradidory as it is;
that the circumstances of the trade of this country,
in the course of ,the last year, were such
_as to oc-
casion,a real fall of nor- exchanges with tire Chneti-
nent to a certain extent, and 'perhaps at -one period'
almost as low as the limit fixed by the expense of
'remitting gold from hence to the tespedieterna:kets.
And your Committee is inclined tb
,this opinion,
both by what is stated regarding the excehs of im-
ports from the Continent above the exports, though
that is the part.of the subjea which is left most m
&lAA ;, an also by what is stated. -respecting the
mode in which the payments in our trade have been
latterly effeeted, an advance being , paid opan the
imports from the Continent of Europe, and a long
credit being given tipon the exports to other parts Of-
the ,world. • • •

Your Committee, observing how entirely the
sent depression of our exchange with •Europe is re
ferred by many persons to a great excess of opo 'im-
p
rfs above our exports,- have called for an acc;)tiot,
of the actual value of those for the' I:st five years ;
and Mr. Irving, the Inspe&or General of CostomF,
has a,,eordmgly furnished the most accurate e\sti-
mite of bOth that he has been enabled to form.—
He has alsb endeavouted.to forward the objet of the,
G Annittee, by calculating Low much should be dig.

Last night Paris Papers to the 10th inst. reached
town. the Moniteur of the Bth contains the De-
cree, which we have already laid before our readers,
fur permitting the importation of certain article's into
France; and in the same paper of the 9th there is a
letter from the French Minister for Foreign Affaits
to the American Minister General ARMSTRONG. In
this letter the French Nlinister justifies the seizure
of all the American vessels that were in the ports of
France and her Allies, on the ground that the Ame-
ricans had prohibited French vessels from entering
their ports. He then prOceeds to inform General
ARMSTRONG, that he is authorized to declare that
" the Berlin and Milan Decrees are revoked, that
from the fil,t of November they will cease to be in
force, it being understood that.in consequence of this
declaration the English shall revoke their Orders in
Council, and renounce the new principles of blockade
which they have attempted to establish ; or that the
United States, conformably to the At which you
have just communicated (the A& of Congress of the
Ist of gay), shall cause their rights to be respected
by the English."

This paragraph is worded, perhaps intentionally,
,in a'most ambiguous manner:—it begins by assert-
ing, positively, that the Decrees are repealed from
the Ist November, and then proceeds to annex a csin-
&Lion which renders the former part of the sentence
nugatory. The English have not adopted any prin-
ciples of blockade which are not perfectly justifiable
by the Law of Nations, and consequently they have
no principles to renounce. Besides, BUONAPARTE
• has no right to propose bargains with the British
Government upon the subject of the Orders in
Council. He thought proper, in defiance of the
,acknowledged Law of Nations, as well as of the
most obvious principles of justice, to issue his two
famous Deciees of November, 1806, and December,
1807, known by. the name of the Berlin and Milan
Decrees, and if he is now convinced of their injus-
tice, or feels their impulicy, he is at liberty to repeal
them ; but lie has no right to make terms with the
British Government upon the subject, or to ask for
a compensation for rescinding Decrees which he had
no right to issue, and which ha% e been productive of

mischief qn!y to himself. With rekard to the pro-

11c will re,
position relative to 24-1..7,c77:,."7.,

scind the Decrees, provided America will declare
war with Great Britain, it is one which he has
repeatedly made before, and hich the Government
of tue United States will not, we think, be very
eager to adopt. What advantage would America
derive from the repeal of these Decrees, if she were
to go to war with Great Britain ? What benefit
would accrue to the Americans from a permission to
enter the Ports of France, Holland, and Italy, if
Great Britain would not permit their slops to quit
the Harbours of America ? What security would
the Americans derive from BUONAPARTE'S permis-
sion to navigate the Ocean, if the British Admiralty
were to issue orders fOr taktng, burning, sinking, and
destroying their vessels ? The Americans are a
trading and calculating People, and if ever they do go
to war with Great Britain, it will not be for the sake
of the commercial advantages which they are likely
to derive from the repeal of the Berlin- and Milan
Decrees.

There are some passages in the concluding part
of this Letter, which transcend, in point of insult,
any thing which we have ever seen, even in one of
BUONAPARTE'S State Papers. After all his aels of
wanton oppression and violence towards the subjects
of America, after seizing and confiscating their ships
and cargoes in the midst of peace; in a .word, after
having exhatisted his ingenuity in devising new modes
of insult and aggression against the United Stau:s,
he makes his Minister tell General ARMSTRONG that
" his Master loves the Americans," that " their
prosperity and commerce enter into the views of
his policy," and that " whatever can contribute
to the INDEPENDENCE, the prosperity, and the
LIBERTY of the Americans will be regarded by the
Emperor (meaning BUONAPARTE) as conformable to
the Interests of his Empire ! !.!" If in all the re-
cords of diplomacy a document can be found con-
taining; a more studied and galling in•ult, we should
be glad to peruse it as a liteiary cut iosity.

This morning a Gottenturgh arrived. The
King of DENMARK, it appears, is quite serious in n!,
designs upon the Crown of Sweden, for he has pub-
lished a pamphlet to convince the Swedes of the
benefits they would derive from having him for
their King ; if, however, BCIONAPARTE does not
furnish him with some stronger arguments than
those contained in his bo-k, he is nut very likely
to add the Crown of Sweden to those of Denmark
and Norway.

On Wednesday evening a heavy firing was heard
on the heights at Dover in the direaion of the op.
posit Coast, which from the blazes of light dis-
covered at intervals, had the appearance of being il-
luminations.

Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, and Princesses
SOPHIA and AUGUSTA, took their usual morning
rides in the Great Park, Windsor, till near twelve
o'clock. The Royal Party was accompanied by
Lords HARCOURT and WALSINGH A I\l, Lady CoL-
LYEH, Generals GWYNN E and FITZROY, and Colonel
TAYLOR.
Her MAJESTY and Princess ELIZABETH took an
airing to Frogmore Lodge, and walked in the gardens.
Accounts from Cadiz to the 22d uh. have been
received. An opinion prevailed there that the enemy
were about to raise the blockade of the Isle of Leon.
The Spanish partizans are said to have been so ex-
tremely atlive as to have tendered the subsistence
and communications of the besieging army extremely.
precarious. The Regency had received very satis-
tadory accounts of allegiance and attachment from
the Colonial Settlements. Large supplies of money
and prdouce we're on their way trotn thence.to the
Mother Country.
The Regency had issued an order by which the
merchants at the ditlerent ports in Spain are autho-
rised to ship in Spanish bottoms, to any of the pro-
vinces or settlements attached to the Mother Coun-
try, free of any duty whatsoever, " all articles un-
der the denomination of calicoes, of the manufacture
of Great Britain."

General O'DONNELL, according to some letters,
has been honourably restored to the chief command
of the Army of Catalonia.

The Government of Mexico have written to the
Regency that if they want nothing but money they
shall be sopped, and accordingly have sent from 16
to 20• millions of dollars ; and should they be in
need of more,' they will make it up to 70.
A cartel sailed on Wednesday from Plymouth for
Moilaix, with several sick, aged, and infirm F,en.ch
prisoners. It has been usual tor some time to s, nd
back prisontqs in this condition to the comforts of
their native country, without any regard to exchange.
This humanity is the more to the credit of the Bri-
tish Government, as we do nut understand that n is
reciprocal.

,Mt. GOLDSMID gave a grand dinner yesterday, at
his seat at Merton, in Surrey to their Royal High-

Last week a trial for trim. con. came on in En-
nis, i❑ the County of Clare, before the Hon: Mr.
Justice Mayne, and a Special Jury, in which Mr.
Patrick O'Henuessey, carpenter, was plaintiff; and
Mr. Foster Parsons, printer, was defendant. The
damages were laid at 20001. when, after 2 hearing
of eight hours, the Jury returned a verdict of 5001.
and fid. costs for the pla
