NEW YORK, DEC. 7.

We are told that on Sunday morning a British 74
and two frigates, anchored in Lynhaven Bay—that
the Officers, every day since then, landed from them
near the Pleasure House ; that an inhabitant in the
neighbourhood of the Pleasure House (whose name
we do not at present wish to mention) had the temerity
to supply them with some necessaries—intimation
of which has been given to Brigadier-General Ma-
thews.

DEC. B.—We are glad to notice, that the attention
of our fellow-citizens is awakened by a sense of the
evils which the non-importation Act must produce,
if suffered to go into operation. At a war ' measure,
it certainly can be of no use ; for, on the occurrence
of that disastrous event, a total, not a partial restric-
tion, must be enforced. . .

As a measure of irritation, until negociation is
hopeless, it is palpably unwise for these reasons—as
well as because in its effects it would bear peculiarly
hard upon that class of citizens who have engaged in
distant voyages, undertaken for their own hopes and
the avowed expectations of the Government, that
peace with Great Britain would be preserved ; we arc
happy to learn that a respectful memorial to Congress,
whi'ch does not affect or express any party feelings or
sentiments, requiring its suspension or repeal, is now
in circulation, and will be very numerously subscribed
by our citizens.—Boston Gazette. •
DEC. 9.—Mr. Canning's answer to Mr. Munroe is
said to state—that the British Government has always
claimed and exercised the right to take British seamen
wherever found. That according to modern usages
of civilized nations, national vessels were not liable
to search—that Great Britain will conform to
this usage ; that for the affair of the Chesapeak reps•
ration will he made, and a Minister sent to the United

States for that purpose. No hint is given as to the
nature or extent of the reparation—on the contrary,
it is expressly stated, that the claim of the American
Government to reparation is lessmed by the refusal
to deliver up their men, and by.the President's Prci-
clamation, both of which are considered as acts of
hostility on our part ; that the Minister sent to the
United States would be • expressly instructed not to
blend with the affair of the Chesapeak, either the
impressment of seamen, or any other subject of dif-
ference between the ilwo countr►es. _

The letti,,r is in a style more haughty than concilia-
tory, and calculated rather to increase than lessen the
sentiment of indignation' so generally excited by the
unprincipled conduct of Great Britain towards
neutrals generally, and particularly towards •the
United States. •

DEC. 10.—The Non:importation Act soes itlto
operation on Monday neit, unless CongiFss, "during
the present week, repeal or suspend it fot a We
period. . • • •

The Stock Exchange was prolific in rumours yester-
day before the close of the market.—ALEXANDER, the
Autocrat of all the Russias, had died suddenly! NA-
POLEON was assassinated, on his return from Milan to
Paris ! and considerable progress was also wade in
laying a foundation for negociations to restore peace
between this country and France !
Many gave credit to these and similar rumours, and
there was a more than usual bustle in the market.—
Stocks experienced a rise, and many large transfers
were made.

The origin, however, of all these rumours may be
easily traced. Yesterday the dividends were paid at
the Bank, and money flowed in abundance.-.a cir-
cumstance which only the large money-holdets know
how to profit by.

The Paris papers of which we yesterday announced
the receipt, were to the 27th ult. but they are very
barren of general intelligence. A Gentleman, who
came passenger in the vessel by which these pa-
pers were received, states, that TALLEYRAND was at
Amsterdam on the 31st ult. This Minister, how-
ever, is not understood in Holland to have come there
for the purpose of carrying on any negotiation with
this country, with a view to peace, but, on the con-
trary, to aegociate a loan for the purpose of enabling
the French Government to carry on the war with in-
creased vigour. TALLEYRAND is said to have offered
very advantageous terms to the monied men : but
still.he has not yet had the success that he eipected.
All his arts and influence are in Motion, and the
:partisans of France appear to be confident that he will
.dltimately succeed. •
