- 41" WA S MIN GT ON, JULi 26 .—.The National Intel-
ligencer of this date;sliales, that Congresi are con•
vaned to meet at an earlier. day than that appointed
by the constitution. It canitoi be expected,thal the
considerations winch produced this measure will be
funy known until they shall be disclosed to the le-
graitule. It is to be presumed that tbey'grow cut

ef out foreign relations. , •
" It seem., 10 to understood, that the cornmuni.
cottons 01 Mr. FlrsTeir. do ,00t•correspund with the
reasonable expectations which might ,have Isere
f Imed. We do not understand that they
,have ex-
tended directly so any subject beyond the Or-
ders in Conned, and the blockade of May,
sea. With rtsped to this block.ide, it is under-
stood to" he placed 'under a construaion 'and on
a footing to render it no longer an insuperable
difficulty. As to the Orders in Count:ll, it would seem
that a repeal of them is made to depend, not only on
further e% ideece than is yet afforded of any repeal
uhateverof the Frey4ll decrees, brit on a repeal of
their decrees iti a Jar greater extent than the United.
States have' requirvd, or can require, as violatieg any,
of their neutral rights. And an idea is held out of a
retaliation on the Non-importation Aa, if continued
in,force, without such repeal of the French Decrees
as is contended for by Great Britain.
"The Bssex.frigate, lately returned, brought no
information from Paris subsequent to the arrival of
..the Jahn "Matas, which carried the proceedings of
Cougress and the , dispatches of the Executive on
that ant other 111.bje0s. in general it may be inferred
...from the 20d other information, that she Ber-
lin and. decrees as they violate our neutral
rights are not in .operation, and that some. retaxa-
t any are taking place in the commercial intercourse
with France, though by no means as yet in the. ex-
tent de.ired. With 'respect to the other subjeas of
complaint and demand by the United States no
charige has taken place.."—Nat. Inlet

This morning we received Jamaica Papers to the
21st Ult. but they t:o ing no news whatever.

Accounts have been received from France which
,state, -that BUoNAPARTe. was daily expected-to leave
Paris for the coast. We mentioned ,orne time ago
livrt he had given clire‘qions for. assembling consi-
derable bodies of troops in the vicinity of Boulogne
and of Antwerp ; and, it is said, that be is now
going to review them, and to tenew his threats of
Invasion against this Couniry. It is probable, that
BuoNAPARTe might thii)k that by assembling a con-
side, able force on the fippo4ite colst, he would
frt. the Briti,ll Government from sending reinforce-
ments to the Peninsula; but we Are convinced that

he haw nn serious intention:of attempting to invade
this Country. The troops avembled on the coast
are, we have no doubi, destined ultimately for the
North of Europe. In the meal time, Admirals

Yeattrday Gibraltar Cittonicles were received to
the 4th Th• p p r of the 3d contaii.s ihe fol-
lowing ititorination reprd to the expedition
under General Blake :

" The whole .4 General Blake's. troops havtrig
assembled at Aigrs.ras in. the course of S*turd ty and
Surlda last, the fl et got under weigh on Monday
morning, and plot:ceded to its destination with a
tail wind."

From the accounts which we had previously ye-
ceibed from Cadiz,thete is no.retvion to doubt that
this forgodestined form a junction wi h the
army under Goncral Preyre, and 'to act against the
French in the kingdom of Granada.
The pape,s from Gibraltar contain various ac-.
counts of the unsnbdtted spirit of the Patriots of Ca-
talonia. The celeOrated Dr. ROI/4kt, who planned
and condo, led the surprise of Figuetras, had written
to Cadiz, front Pents,ola, that, notwithstanding the ,
tail of 'Tarragona, the same reliance.as ever as ro
be placed on the valour and constancy of the.Cata.
inoians.., General Lacy had also written • from
Mataro to the same etfect,
.extolling the firm deter-
mination of the natives of the principality to resist
their enemy. -
A measure is also talked of rhich is become pe-
coliarly necessary front the loss of. Tarragona, and
which is, the fortification of some spot on the coast
of Catalunia, that May serve as a rallying point: Vo the
Patitots o 1 the. interior, and, at the same time, maiii-
tain the communication by lira ith the princrvaii.y.,
By this 'meam, sUpplie, could be introduced wit b
ease and security 'from Putt IVlAlion or Irvin Cad 4.
This is a system' which ought to be a,cted upon
along the whole of the Spanish coast.
Letters were veoerday received from Alicant, of
one of which the following is no extract

bring a disposable take of 30,000 men, this atteMpt
will be useless, as every preparation is making to re-
inforce and complete the regular army ; besides
which we have to rely on our numerous

thousand men; all of whom arc noted marksmen,

will be frustrated.- The war contribution, which
was ordered to be levied by the Cortes, are, reguld.!

From the North of Spain the following Comm-
' nicatinn has been received

rived here iron) the coast of Biscay, says, '20,000
