an unsuccessful attack todestroy an old Spanish lint

which he left on the 10th instant, was yesterday'upon
'Change, and reported that he had been unable to pro.
cure a cargo, there being a complete prohibition.--

It is said that there are persons from abroad rhe
have proposed to the merchants to undertake to cUndl
vey and deliver their goods to certain ports on .the
Continent, at a premium of from 10 to 15 per cent. ;
and it is thought that it may be with the knowledge
of the French Government that they are here. It
would be a curious device on the part of BONAPARTE,
to obtain by this means the articles of which the peo-
ple are in want, without appearing to abandon his

system.
Every succeeding post brings us intelligence, that
however leniently the French decrees may have been
formerly executed against the Americans, the citizens

injustice as the subjects of the most hostile power.
