Liecrees had been' alleged ; for they have all arrived
direct in France, without' ,having keen boarded .by
Pritish cruizers, leen in a Bliti.th port, or inf tinged
•a" single feature of the Decrees: and that, in cense.
(pence of their TeleaSe, applications had been made
alsii for the release .of vessels that h.cl been ;titled
under the Decrees, and which had been refused and
particularly in the case of the Kew Orleans packet,
the agents for which had made application for her
release, or, in other words, to cancel the bonds
they had given, but a hich had been refused ; and
she was going to proceed to the United States, with-
out the bonds being so cancelled."
BALTIMORE, JULY 30 :—The National heelli-
gencer, when conclUded by its former Editor, was
'clistinguisned for decoruM of language and exprts-
mon of Ainetican feelings. Under the present Edi-
tor, it has become a vehicle of unblushing misrepre,
sentatiort of the conduct of France towards the
United States. Ori the 15th of Jutte, in opposition
to weir-authenticated information of the daily out-
rages committed on American vessels by French
cruizers that have left Fiance since the gd of No-
vernber last, and had accidentally escaped the
cruizers of England, that paper asserted that France
had complied with " the letter actin- lab," which
required that the Berlin and Milan Decrees should
cease to have operation so far as they related to the
United States. Notwithstanding the high degree
of indignation felt and ,expressed at the time by all
Republicans, uninfluenced by foreign attachments,
at so shameful a misrepresentation in a paper at the
seat of Government, the usual channel of official
cotnmunication, its Editor has again the hardihood
to insult the American people by repeating the
.as-
sertion, accompanied with the observation that " we
do not often sport our opinions on slight founda-
tion, or substitute for facts the result of vague
conieraure." It is true that certain. vessels hive
been permitted to enter their cargoeS in Frazier ; but
it is no less true, that the sante ve.sels were nowise
involved in theopeiations of these Decrees alley
sailed from this country dire& to France , under
the positive assurances of a friendly reception ; in-
stead of which, on their arrival, they were'placed
in a state of suspense,' and detained at a..great
pence for several months: and because these vessels
were not added to the plunder of Napoleon, the
Editor of the intelligencer boldly asserts " not only
that the Berlin and Aldan Decrees are rescinded as
to U 9, bUt. that.their rescission takes date the 2d of
November last, Ain which our pruelamation ,was is-
sued; it is thus .reduced to a certainty that France
has complied with the letter of nur law of Novem-
ber, tato; when at the same time he knew that
the vessels mentioned in the letter of the Duke of
Bassano were unconnected with these Decrees. In
the Duke of Ba.sano's letter there is not the slightest
intimation of remuneration for the American
burnt by the cruizers of France, since the gd of
November, or restitution of a single American ves-
sel that hturbeen captured and carried inio France
after the id of November.; thusn reducing it to a I
certainty that France has not complied with our
law of May, 18 10.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROI►I. A GENTLEMAN Or RE-
SPECTABILITY AND •INFORMATION, DATED WMItl-
INOTON, JULY 21, 1811. - _

" I regret that I can give. no seisfa6tory answer
to your inquiries. The Administration 'appears to
be deeper then ever under French influence.' To
me there is now little prospect of a settlement with
Mr. Foster, and God only knows what will be the
consequence. Smith'i publicetiou see Med to eat-
barraes them for a while, but they appear to be now
quite callous. In short, they have no 'sense. of
shame left, if they ever had any'; and that thick-
sculled Gales, who is their mouth-piece, continues
to assert that Buonaparte's Decrees, violating oar
commerce, are repealed, although tre pet hots pre-
tends to believe him. All persons agree, that it is
very disgiaceful in the Administration to make such
assertions, as it cannot alter the ttue state of
things ; and falsehoods, that nobody believes, might
as well not be told : but wickedness and ignorance
necessarily accompany each other.
" The present ill-advised and anti-neutral non-
importation law, does not appear to allia& the people
in this quartet so much as those of the south, ow-
ing to the high price which flour has borne [thanks
to the Portuguese and
,Spanish Patridts).; but we
fear the operation upon your eastern tolks (the
sturdy yankies) will be too oppressive- to be quietly
endured, and that you will be-driven to the direful
necessity, and, I conceive, no imaginary necessity,
of a separation. A traveller says the thing is much
talked of in Conneeticut ; and I should nut be stir-
prized If a Convintiott was called. You know my
opinion has ever been strongly against that fatal
measure ; but .1 am sensible, man cannot always
bear iusulte and injuries without resentment. No
man has more pointedly reprobated the Virginia po-
litics than I have; and 1 believe thou "hoot Mary-.
land they are detested, as the destrunien of com-
merce is as injurious to Maryland as to New Eng-
land.
Madison has shown himself wholly incompe-
tent to the administration of the Governitreet, ex-'
,ceps upon Virginia principles. You know lie is a
little timid, wavering, prejudiced man; and that.
his hatred of England, and bias, to France, render
him a vets unsuitable person to have any concern
with the Govern Meat at so critical a juncture. E. en
his friends, or those who have been. 'wile' towards
him, appear to give hint up ; and I murk • doubt
whether they will again support him as a candidate
for the Presidency. It is a curious, and at the same
time a melancholy fact, that we should have had but
one man in all things suitable for a President, and
there should have been a deterioration by grades In
every successor. Mr. Adat9 W 35 a very consider-
able grade below Washington—Jefferson much be-
.low Adams—and Madison the 1140't miserable of
all. But, upon reflection, it scents as if we ought
to pray tor, his continuance, lest the should
come next. It' is the better opinion here, that
French intrigue and influence will prevent a settle-
ment with koster, and that a war with England
must he the inevitable consequence; of this there'
remains no doubt, since the interaiation given by
Mr. Pinckney. And what a wretched siteatiott
would such •a' war produce! Tnis you cap More
easily imagine than I can describe. New England
would say, These, C) Virginia, are thy fruits, and
we will no longer suffer you to rule over us—ve
will separate: 1.1, .
