We have received American papers to the 29th of
November inchifive.

Thefe papers mention, that the TARANDCR and CAM-
BRIAN Britith 'hips of war, had returned to 11:W..1x,
on the isth of November, after an unfuccefFful cliace
of the French frigates which efcaped from New York
in the beginning of that month.
• It zppears that the French Ambafrador from Bo-
NAvitrrs, announcing his new dignity of Emperor,
arrived at Wathington about the zoth of November,
and had an'audience of Mr. JEFFERSON on the 23d
of that month. What tcok place at this interview
had not tranfpired: The Ambalfadoes fuite was ex-
tremely numerous and fplendid. He failed from
France on board a frigate which was conveying troops
to Martinique, but on account of contrary winds,
was driven into Guadaloupe, from whence, after
landing the forces, the frigate proceeded to the port
of Annapolis. There were three other frigates which
failed from Nantz at the fame time, full of troops;
all which were landed at Guadaloupe.
Since the meeting of Congrefs, the laft commer-
cial treaty betwixt England and the United States,
.which is, on the whole, highly favourable to our
commercial intereas, has been ratified with almoti
no oppofition.
On the 23d of November, the Vice Prefident, Mr.
BURR, who is Prefident of the Senate, took his feat.
This naturally, in the recent recollation of the eir-
eumaances attending the duel in which General HA-

sityrosi fell, created a confiderable fenrati,n.
had hardly gone through the official forms
ing the meeting, when an adjoUrnment for three day:
was moved and carried. It is remarked th:t 14.1 t.
BURR had not the leaft intercourfe with any of the
members. He entered and retired as if he had been
an abfultre ()ranger. He had, however, it is added,
previnufly been fevcral times with the Prefi.knt, and
made on,: of the convivial parties, in which feveral
leading members of Congrefs were prefent.
Since the meeting of Congrefs little has hitherto
been done in the way of political regulation ; but it is
expeaed that much attcnt:on will be paid to the in•
ternal concerns of the States. A Bill had been brought
in flr placing on a more advantageous footing the
American fifheries, and notice had been giver. for a
motion for a Bill to increafe the duties ad va.'orem cn
all articles imported.
Among other articles which there papers furnifl. i.
tile report of a declaration of war by Emperor jAcf,-y,:.
againft Spain, Hilted from his Imperial refidence in
Hayti. Though his fable Majetly cannot expect to
carry on hoflilities on a great fcale, he has ilfacd or-
ders for fitting out as many privateers as pofiible to
annoy the Spann commerce. If he be inferior in
power, he yields not in inveteracy to any Potentate in
our hemifphere. The Americans hare long corn-
p:ained of the depredations committed on their COP.
rnerce by Engli fit, and more particularly French, pro
vateets and (hips of war. They have, however, at
the fame time admitted that fume of their own arm-
ed fl.ips have been guilty of great irregttlarities.
Bill has been introduced into C..wgrefs, the objen of
which is to prevent in future the recurrence of thole
ans of violence under very revere penalties.

Refpening the new Minitterial arrangements, the
report of the day is, that Mr. AnnitiGion is to hi.
appointed Prefident of the Council, with a Pceraie
and a penfion, in the room of the Duke of koar Latin,
who refigns, and that he has flipulated for Certaiii
appointments for M,. H. ADDINGTON, Mr. 136.ACGEy

Earl of C3sersar:sin is comprehended in the
new arrangement, and Lords MULGRAVB and
lai-
aowistt will, it is faid, change places. The

tary of State for the Foreign Department ; and
the latter is to facc•eed to the Chancellorfhip of zhe
Duchy of Lancafter ; Mr. ROBERT WARD is

We (teed tome days ago, that arrangcments wcra
on foot between this Countr^ and France for a iegti•
lac exchange of prifoners, and that Mr. Puct-:
been appointed to go to Paris for the purpofe of taking
fome charge of our countrymen who are detained
France. We can now 11 ate, that tom,: progrefs has beCa
made in the nogn:lation. and that difpatches have Len
received dire'' f.-om M. TAI.I.VYRAND on the but‘ne.
There difpatches were broiight out of Boulogne "On
Monday, in :4 f 147, of trues!, and gets to one of our
cruizers. The as rival of thefe difpatches
gave rite to a rumour, in an Evening Paper, that pro-
bably they brought overtures of peace. We believe
there is no credit whatever doe to this opinion. They
related, as we have already faid, only to an exchange
of prifoners.
Lati night difpatches were fent cff to the Downs.

with ordersi,r every attention to be paid to the Gf.
ficer who brought over the French diCpatchcs frcra
the French Government.

The general tenor of the letters from 1,111)nn, by
the lait maile, erpreffed confiderable apprahentlen
that Portugal would not be allowed to remain neu-
tral. A letter, however, from a very refpeaa;:le
meicartile houfe at Lifoon rays, that an arrangetnerit
for the lieutrality of Portugal is concluded. It is a;
follows :

" Lifbrn, P:cemher iI, 0.04.

44 We inclofe you a coo, of what we wrote you the
if infant, fince when, it is laid from the belt au-
thority, that this country has madr. arrangements for
its neutrality, by giving fix millions of crufades to
France, which we think very probable, and hope
England will not oppofe fuch an arrangement."
